Talk:Jaylen Hotdogfingers/Archive

We now know at least part of what happens when a formerly incinerated player is brought back: Jaylen Hotdogfingers has indeed rejoined the Seattle Garages, at the expense of Mike Townsend. All upside, if you ask me. Still unsure of the long-term effects however... Emilysylveon (talk) 19:37, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

Jaylen Lore additions: Ruby Tuesday and beyond

Those of us in the Garages discord would like to make an addition to Jaylen's lore. A summary of what we want to add is:

For Season 7, she had no control over her hit by pitcher, aka "bean" balls, and after seeing the causes of her actions on Ruby Tuesday, this wrecked her emotionally. Her arm was possessed whenever it happened, working at the whims of the gods. She approached the microphone after season 7 asking for a deal, a way out of directly causing death. The microphone agreed, giving her agency over her beaning and changed her powers from instability to flickering. So, for season 8, the mic simply took to asking her that a number of beans happen per game, and left her to it.

This gives Jaylen a good mix of emotions and narrative beats that feel in line with her character. We are also currently drafting ideas about her motivations for leaving the team, should that happen with her Flickering status. Thoughts are welcome and appreciated!

Update: We have decided on what we would like Jaylen's reaction to flickering and leaving the team would be:

" After the events of the Season 8 leaderboard left Jaylen in a state of permanently flickering, Jaylen took the news surprisingly well. When asked about her thoughts on the matter, she had this to say.

"These last few seasons have been... a lot, as you can imagine. The team doesn't feel the same to me now. Nothing really feels the same. So, maybe instead of trying to find comfort in a place that is no longer home, it's time I found myself elsewhere. Stretch my legs, see some sights, jam with some new people. The microphone has plans for me, and if that means not incinerating people, I'm going to follow them, best I can. Let's see where this takes me. *laughs* I'm trying to lean into this whole chaos thing, is it working?"

When asked if her plans to travel were to avoid the debt she is collecting, she declined to comment. "

This gives Jaylen a good narrative to leave the team on. StarNavigator (talk)

Jaylen on the Shoe Thieves

I'd like to propose adding a section about her feedback to the shoe Thieves, mentioning that she was welcomed cooly and got decked in the locker room by Esme Ramsey, linking to this fanfic as a citation https://archiveofourown.org/works/26897071 Sleepysappho (talk) 17:07, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

Messages from the Hall

Based on a discussion in the Pies discord, we thought it would be good to have part of the reason Jaylen is traveling would be so she can pass along messages from those she encountered in the hall. This section would allow other current and future teams with Jaylen a place for people to put messages from their incinerated teammates.

"During Season 9 Hotdogfingers began frequently swapping between teams via feedback. While many theorized that this was a method of avoiding her debt collectors, Hotdogfingers claimed that it was her way of traveling to each team to deliver messages from their deceased teammates. She claimed that she needed to do this "before his plan went into effect."

-Forrest Bookbaby: Told Bookbaby's mother "@PineTomeToddler33737+". This turned out to be the password to Bookbaby's Swiss bank account. Bookbaby's mother used the millions of embezzled funds found within to establish the BookBaby Memorial School of Accounting.

-Juan Rangel: Relayed a private message to Rangel's godmother the city of Philadelphia.

-Mickey Woods: Passed along a series of hi-fives to all of Mickey's teammates."

If this gets big, it might be worthwhile to make it a sub-page of Jaylen's page with just a small blurb on the main page in order to keep it clean. The Flowers already have something like this with the Memorial Bat Forest. Nesblitt || Admin || nesbitt#1991 (talk) 15:48, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

Jaylen Loves the Lovers

The Lovers didn't expect to keep Jaylen, but now we have her. Possibly for the duration of the Siesta unless something unexpected happens. I'd like to submit a request to be able to change Jaylen's default photo to a Lovers' Uniform/Art (leaving the other 2 art as tabs still out of respect for her 'belonging' to the Garages' lore), which can then be replaced/removed upon her leaving the team.

Our current plans for Jaylen are something along the lines of a PTSD recovery arc, where Jaylen has been through... well... A LOT and she just needs a break and the Lovers are here to support her in different ways. We also plan on doing something with her and NaN, which we're trying to figure out with the NaNbassadors. If there are any garages who want to reach out to us for a lore collab, please stop by the Lovers lore channel. Thanks. MEMANIAsama (talk) 05:12, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

Jaylen's Messages

Would it make sense for Jaylen's messages to be mentioned and then made into a subpage/list? MEMANIAsama (talk) 07:54, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
