more added to the glossary as i remembered them.
![Printer Running Out [of ink], the -- an alternate accepted theory of how Idletry's universe will end, where the source of tinctures will run out and all forces in the universe will simply cease to exist. based erroneously on observations of ink fading over time.
drying out, drying up -- another way to refer to the Printer Running Out.
Standing Up -- a prehistorical event where most animals capable of doing so became anthropomorphic in a Covenant.
Covenant, the -- a set of biological imperatives and standardizations animals underwent in exchange for sapience, such as the ability to stand upright and speak, a shared measurement system and language, boneless external penises and 9-month internal pregnancies, omnivorous metabolisms, and the capacity to understand and commit evil.
Sitting Down -- a contemporary event where certain animals rejected the Covenant to Stand Up by complying with a separate Covenant wherein they are subordinate to Stood Up animals, but are incapable of committing evil or feeling any of the social moral compulsions that Stood Up animals do. Sat Down animals are domesticated animals, such as livestock and pets. they are sapient like Stood Up animals, but have an entirely different set of instincts and priorities to anthropomorphized animals. wild, non-domesticated animals do not exist and are a foreign concept to characters in Idletry. Stood Up animals are compelled to care and provide for Sat Down animals.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nnterjvpqxzciu23a2vemeoo/bafkreiczdb4ryusjd4hfc5fdaoimi2rgf3sub7vtj2zbqk7jnypcigunoe@jpeg)

here. i'm not retyping all that--
!["Many people live out a fantasy in the bedroom or on paper and they're satiated as long as it's done every once in a while[...]
Because they're looking for a specific experience
Jessie is trying to fill an emptiness in her with an unreality that doesn't exist[...]
It's not ever going to make her less lonely or feel less hurt by what's already happened, so she keeps escalating"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nnterjvpqxzciu23a2vemeoo/bafkreici27vghkx7ohtdeniunj4lp3jql7ub44xwtbqtdscppxrfjg2foq@jpeg)

She is, in fact, capable of seeing that people treat her differently when she has power. She can tell that people only speak to her because she can give them things that they want, or do things to them that they don't want. I dare say it is integral to her pervasive sense of isolation.
![Shiloh: ...Jessie,
Jessie: heyyy, it's not 'God' for once! I like it.
Shiloh: —..yeah. I know that I've asked a lot of questions about your powers— and I still have a lot more. A lot more...
Jessie: right...
Shiloh: —but that can come off like it's the only thing I care about. And-
Jessie: yeah. It can. [walking in front of them, turning backwards to look at them while walking] but who can blame you, honestly? I mean, it's what I've got going for me. What else are you supposed to give a shit about? Who I was before I was a God?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nnterjvpqxzciu23a2vemeoo/bafkreibvouc2nquqdn7ap2vg5i2jlwwqs34qzhz2ezmgtu5n24npvsdjtm@jpeg)
