About seven months ago IC. About twenty-three OOC.
Ryan: If we get emotionally close, [Darla] sexually teasing me could become a problem.
Denna: Because you're monogamous?
Ryan: Because Emma's possessive of me. She doesn't see you two as a threat right now, but if she does...

In which Isaac has a plan to seduce Rey. →
In my head, this has a lot more context. This was the part I was able to get into words.

Ooh, ooh, I got a crush on you.
For years, Reynaldo has had a crush on someone he saw once and will never see again. This crush has persisted through several dates and flings, a few relationships, and even Isaac.
Isaac knows about it. He thinks it’s hilarious.

Day 03 - Your Parents
I have five (And you thought three was more than normal, Rory?). Dream Ryan and Dream Emma (as the Victorian alternates called them), Victorian Ryan and Victorian Emma (as the dream alternates called them), and the vampire Ryan. Seven if you count this world’s alternates of my parents, which I don’t.
Dream Ryan and Emma raised me, and they’re usually who...

Day 02 - Your First Love
Which me? And how am I supposed to figure out which person was the first I definitely loved instead of just having a crush on?
The first time I thought I was in love, I was thirteen and fell for my best friend, Donnie Weaver. We met when I noticed he had my favorite game on his tablet, and we ended up talking about the best ways to catch leras.
It took me a while to...

Reynaldo Ethan Glick, Shay ben Tzion.
Day 01 - Introduce Yourself
My name is Reynaldo Ethan Glick. My Hebrew name is Shay.
I have a Spanish first name because my mother was Latina, and my parents wanted to reflect that in at least part of my name. That three-fourths of my name are Jewish should give you an idea of how much they wanted to reflect my father’s side of the family versus my mother’s.
My first name starts...

Angel: Cordy's had lots of visions. We usually make sure they don't come true.

Reynaldo and Isaac have decided that if they have children, regardless of gender, their names will start with S and contain a Y.
They’ve also decided to hyphenate the children’s surnames. They’re still debating which order the surnames should be in (Isaac likes Sowka-Glick, Rey likes Glick-Sowka), and whether or not they should hyphenate their own surnames.

How Sims Medieval Is Responsible For The Blinky...
For a while, I played a Sims Medieval kingdom populated by CoD Sims. This led me to several discoveries.
1) People randomly kneeling to Emma is… pleasing.
2) I don’t know how Ryan got himself sentenced to the stocks, but he was hot in them.
3) He was even hotter when he knelt to Emma right after she gave birth.
4) Reynaldo uses luxury to cope with his less desirable instincts.

Guilting.
Rory: ::sighs, drops his head back as though asking the sky Why me?- then reaches to his side, starts to pick his notebook, then stops; curiously:: Are you trying to guilt me?
Yes. Yes, she was.
She hid because she was legitimately freaked out, but after she came out, she was just trying to get Rory to be nice to her.
It was also useful for getting out of answering this question:
Rory: ::a...

Booooooooooooooooooooooooored.
You’re not here and I am BORED (each capitalized letter is worth five o’s, because I say so) and my head is full of CoD. So I’m going to ramble at Tumblr for a while.
I could write. Maybe I will get THAT BORED. Or maybe I’ll get distracted by reading logs. Goddamn did you put up an awesome amount of logs.
Anyway. Character by character…
Emma:
Huh. No real...

Was it obvious that she was playing him, there? Because she totally was. Mostly. She does have insecurities that run along...

Gloves.
Evelyn has several pairs of gloves. They have two general purposes: blocking sunlight and looking goth. There’s a lot of overlap between them, but some of the ones for blocking sunlight look too utilitarian to fit goth fashion, and some of the goth ones are fishnet, lace, or otherwise see-through.
Naturally, she wears them on the appropriate occasions: the utilitarian ones when she wants...

One fish, two fish...
Early in my process of developing Reynaldo, I read “Carpe Jugulum” by Sir Terry Pratchett to kickstart my brain on vampire variants. Towards the beginning of the book, a character tries the trick of closing their eyes, flipping a book open to a random page, pointing to a random word, and using that as guidance.
I figured I might as well try it. I wondered what to try it with. The...

Divergence Points
In both Reynaldo and Evelyn’s worlds, the Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects Agency created a project called Inquiry, the goal of which was to study the supernatural for potential applications in homeland defense. The project expanded, and eventually became a splinter group.
In 2020, the Inquiry started several long-term experiments on nonhumans, studying their powers in the...
