Index → Timey-wimey detector → Timeline - Iris Wildthyme
Spoilers are strongly policed here.
If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.

This page lists appearances of Iris Wildthyme in the order in which she experienced them — at least, to the extent that such an idea can ever be considered meaningful. This timeline is based upon observations of the Paul Magrs universe and the events that occur during each of these stories. From these observations we have attempted to build a concise timeline. It is assumed, as a general rule, that for each book or audio their published/numbered order is the order they occur in. There are also many gaps between stories.

The layout of this timeline is in part based on the observations on The Chart of Autism and other sources that allow us to make observations. None of these sources should be used solely as a source or considered a "true" timeline for stories.

Limiting factors[[edit source]]

Panda[[edit source]]

While Panda officially joins Iris in AUDIO: Wildthyme at Large, he has often been seen accompanying her on previous occasions, because timelines are tangled wotsits and the past just isn't what it used to be.

Iris's incarnations[[edit source]]

Iris's stories can be roughly sorted by her most important incarnations.

  • Lesbian novelist
  • Edith Sitwell Iris
  • Shirley Bassey Iris, AKA "Brenda Soobie"
  • Beryl Reid Iris
  • Jane Fonda Iris
  • Katy Manning Iris


Timeline[[edit source]]

Lilith[[edit source]]

A young Iris lives in the mountains of the Clockworks with Alison and hasn't met Panda yet. On one occasion, she and Ally elope to the fishing village at the base of the mountains, away from the eyes of her caregiver aunts. Iris lost her trust in Alison when she fell into the lake of predatory fish, only to see Ally looking down at her. laughing. (PROSE: First Meetings)
At 14 years old, Lilith leaves the Clockworks and discovers the Celestial Omnibus. She is met by Panda, who seems to know about her future. He tells her that her true destiny is to escape the Obverse in the bus and explore the Multiverse as "Iris Wildthyme". The newly christened "Iris" and Panda leave the Obverse in the bus. One of their first adventures is to New York City where they meet Andy Warhol, whom has already met a future Iris. He reassures her that she has made the right choice and she decides to continue travelling Panda. However she would later forget these early adventures. (PROSE: Wildthyme Beyond!)

"Edith Sitwell" Incarnation[[edit source]]

"An old lady, with a long nose and a slightly drawn face."
"A hand waved feebly, and Andrew saw there was a little old woman lying on the ground, wrapped in a cream-coloured shawl, her white upswept hair blending perfectly with the snow. She raised her head, revealing a wrinkled shrewish face with bright intelligent eyes".

A future Iris in her last incarnation.

Possible Future Irises[[edit source]]

Phyllis Iris — "she’d always wanted to look like Phyllis from the Pruitts of Southampton. ‘…in fact, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if I was the inspiration for Patrick Dennis’ book ‘House Party’ ... Despite her age, she was wearing a short green mini-dress with white gogo boots that came to elfish points in the toes. Her hair was a white wig made of candyfloss."
Puppet Iris — "It was a marionette with a long, exaggerated nose and chin, and permanently open painted-on eyes ... ‘I lost a cosmic wager over a game of interplanetary Kerplunk! and have to spent this entire incarnation in this form!’"
Drag Iris — "Now Iris was tall, dark skinned and had loads of honey-coloured hair. Well, a honey-coloured wig anyway ... ‘Who says I can’t be black? Or a man?’ She laughed. ‘I think I’ve been both, just not together. But the point is, I’m always a lady.’"
Carol Channing Iris — "She was very tall, wearing a slightly more feminine version of a man’s suit, in a gaudy floral pattern. She held an unlit pipe clasped between her teeth. Frothy white hair sat perfectly atop her head ... The Carol Channing Iris (as Tom now thought of her) walked over to the collapsed figure of the first Iris."
