Gevity[source needed], alternatively rendered as Gevity™, (COMIC: Jenny Says: Drink Gevity™! [+]Loading...["Jenny Says: Drink Gevity™!

History
In an action "evidently creditable" to Epsilon the Watcher or one of his followers, the name of the drink temporarily replaced "gravity". This brief "interregnum" followed a controversy (PROSE: Love & War [+]Loading...{"page":"405","name":"L&W","1":"Love & War (short story)"}) involving the Fourteenth Doctor and Donna Noble, where they inadvertently diverged Sir Isaac Newton's coining of gravity to mavity, (TV: Wild Blue Yonder [+]Loading...["Wild Blue Yonder (TV story)"], etc.) and, while a time-interventionist attempted to revert these meta-historical changes to the concept, they inadvertently caused another change, where Isaac Newton's name was altered to Isaac Mewton. (PROSE: Love & War [+]Loading...{"page":"405","name":"L&W","1":"Love & War (short story)"})
Other realities
Willy McDuff's universe
In one universe, while Jenny Everywhere was in Willy McDuff's "chocolate factory", she noticed polystyrene cups containing a splash of a fizzy liquid placed around on a black table, "in a futile effort to imply that their contents were the results of the wacky chemistry", an illusion which wasn't helped by a plastic Gevity bottle rolling out from behind the table. (PROSE: A World of Pure Unimagination [+]Loading...["A World of Pure Unimagination (short story)"])
Peter Griffin's universe
Speaking to an unknown audience, Jenny Everywhere began promoting Gevity™; she shifted from the Infinite to Peter's universe, and handed Peter a can in his home. He tried the drink despite never hearing about it before, and was unimpressed with its taste, with rock music inexplicably playing.
Jenny then shifted into another universe, where another Jenny had lost her friend. The foreign Jenny asked the other Jenny why she was sad, and as she went to explain about her loss, the foreign Jenny dismissively cut her off and claimed that the other Jenny was sad because she didn’t "know the angelic taste of Gevity™". The sad Jenny took a sip of the drink, finding the taste to be merely "alright", but the foreign Jenny claimed that the sad Jenny's mood and been significantly improved.
Concluding, the foreign Jenny sung a rhyme and told people to drink Gevity™. (COMIC: Jenny Says: Drink Gevity™! [+]Loading...["Jenny Says: Drink Gevity™! (comic story)"])
Behind the scenes
While referenced without context in Love & War [+]Loading...{"page":"405","name":"L&W","1":"Love & War (short story)"}, gevity is a reference to the unreleased webcast 41.1978.A [+]Loading...["41.1978.A (unreleased webcast)"]. The webcast (which underwent pre-production November to December 2021, and was filmed in January 2022[1]) would've revealed that Gevity, or 'Gevity™ as it was then known, was an energy drink sold by "Epsilon Enterprises" during the Winter of Discontent in 1978 to exploit the strikes.
The webcast would've been framed as a case file compiled by C.R.U.X. following their investigation in 1985, including a live-action advertisement where John Brown, the company's CEO, promoted the drink's benefits.
While the webcast was set for a March 2022 release, it was ultimately cancelled despite being completed due to varying factors. In 2024, Xavier Llewellyn released a post on the official Realms of Ink website, detailing the webcast's production.[2]
Gevity's first mention in a completed story was Love & War [+]Loading...["Love & War (short story)"], where its name was shown to have replaced that of gravity temporarily, evoking the scene in Wild Blue Yonder [+]Loading...["Wild Blue Yonder (TV story)"] where the Fourteenth Doctor and Donna Noble inadvertently caused Isaac Newton to name his concept "mavity".
Gevity's first visual appearance was in Jenny Says: Drink Gevity™! [+]Loading...["Jenny Says: Drink Gevity™! (comic story)"].
