so are we gonna talk about how jester is clearly the rich trust fund kid who set off on a backpacking roadtrip (with the added bonus of searching for her father)
Am I literally the only one who, when she recognised that ostentatious gnome, thought that ‘hey, maybe her mum has a lot of money because she’s a sex worker’? She’s from a place called the ‘menagerie coast’. Maybe I’m just looking into it too much but damn. It seemed like a big point in that direction..
Between this, the syphilis joke, and the lots of dicks Jester isn’t afraid of, someone else had that idea last week too.
I’m not entirely sold, yet. Like. The plot thickens, and the image of little Jester wreacking havoc like she does at a brothel is pretty amazing, but after rewatching it, it seems odd to me that a low-level political figure in the middle of the boonies would have travelled all the way across the mountains to the coast to… Visit a brothel? You’d think he could find that closer to home. Then again, it was a few years ago.
Jester also only asked about this after she heard that the gnome was involved with politics. So maybe whatever her mum’s running (and I’m not ruling out brothel yet, mind you) is very deeply into politics or smear money of whatever, which could be… Interesting.
(On the other hand, Jester could have just seen a lot of dicks because she likes to have sex with no payment involved. Or has siblings, or her mom has a bathhouse, or nude bathing is very in at that coast she’s from. Going from that to sex work is… A stretch, I still think. She’s also trained as a healer, another profession in which you see a lot of dicks and, especially in a port town, will heal those dicks of syphilis.)
