Baba Yaga. She’s not a main villain, she’s kinda helpful if she likes a person, but she does eat people she doesn’t like. Still she’s funny and basically based off Sophia from Golden Girls. Which isn’t super accurate to the folklore but it’s important for reasons. #AwesomeCharacters

What Gillis said was terrible, but he is a comedian, and a terrible one. What was that? I thought he was channeling Woody Allen for a second. All I’m saying is if he bites a single nail on stage, we should put a stake through his obviously possessed heart.

Made a joke about a cowboy movie having too many cowboy hats and like yeah clearly not the right crowd for that level of historical humor.

The only funny thing about Shane Gillis is watching his defenders pretend like he’s a small time comedian speaking truth to power while doing a prepared monologue reinforcing old fashioned dress standards on the biggest comedy show in the country.

In the story world, there was a secret war and Caldyr really looks up to some of the warriors. Athena, Morgan Le Faye, and Artemis (deceased) are her favorites. The war lasted from 1913 until 1966 and Caldyr has a few secret histories including access to some film from the era. #AwesomeCharacters

Caldyr wants to be a boxer. There isn’t a lotta opportunity for a 4’7 fighter though and also she’s inhumanly strong with 1 gallon (10 pound) hands so that complicates sports. She excels in combat so she’d be good. Methodical, clever, and able to read opponents accurately. #AwesomeCharacters

Yes, yes, yes, and yes. Caldyr is kind of based in every detective I’ve ever loved (which is most all of them) so curiosity is a big part of her. Actually she takes it a little far at times. Fox Mulder is a favorite of mine too and he definitely inspired her more fanatical side. #AwesomeCharacters

In theory, honor means a lot to Caldyr, she all about truth and justice, but in practice some rules might be flexible. Caldyr would be hard on herself at first, but Vanth is a horrible enabler who would help a (good hearted) friend justify anything to make her feel better. #AwesomeCharacters

Caldyr doesn’t wear any jewelry for most of the series. She grows and shrinks with magic and jewelry is harder to change. The metal might be resistant too which can cause all sorts of problems. Her natural height is 7 inches and an earring can be a dagger at that height. #AwesomeCharacters

Caldyr is going to my favorite taco place in LA which is also hers (although she doesn’t eat there until book 4.) She’d get a few arrachera tacos, plus some harder to find things like lengua, visceras, and chicharrones. It’s not expensive but she would spend so much money. #AwesomeCharacters

🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Caldyr really wants to be the plan type. She tries to always have it all figured out but she does have to wing it more than she’d like. She idolizes the TV detectives who are always 5 steps ahead and know everything to start. #AwesomeCharacters

Ysengrim essentially wants to do what’s right. He’s not trying to be bad, he just thinks Reynardine is too dangerous to be out among people (or alive tbh) and wants to keep order. “His hates when people rock the boat. But you don’t get anywhere in still waters, do you?” #AwesomeCharacters

Surf Gangs of Penzance Beach opened in 3 weeks, 2 weeks before Halloween. “Late for a summer show, right?” Caldyr added to her list. “Why?” Vanth pushed the ledger her way. “Probably it’s that Goodlove Acting Troupe was broker than us. They couldn’t afford theater season.” #BookishTues

Caldyr lives in a 1 bedroom apartment. It’s very run down but it’s home to her. When you’ve never had more than a patch of floor to sleep on, anything can be a castle. Reynardine uses his fox form to sleep in his trunk. He doesn’t have much money and gives away what he gets. #AwesomeCharacters

🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Reynardine conceives, plans, and then cooks for the whole thing. Reynardine invites his core group and seats people who will enjoy talking to each other or at least argue entertainingly. Caldyr is reluctant but it’s at her apartment and it is free food so she goes. #AwesomeCharacters

Went to the store yesterday and tried to tell the grocer he got his parsnips and his turnips mixed up. And he went to AI with it. Which did tell him the parsnip was a turnip. I pointed to the box, labeled parsnip, and it was clear he knew it was wrong but he just walked away. I hate the future.

Reynardine. He’s a trickster. Who knows what all he’ll get up to before the end of the series? He basically starts the story by betraying his allies in an organization he built and giving up godhood for reasons even he can’t (?) explain. #AwesomeCharacters

🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Caldyr hides her laugh. She’s a little self conscious of her deep voice. It’s an abrasive but powerful laugh. Reynardine laughs like a fox. A sharp, staccato that almost sounds mean but most everyone feels like they’re in on the joke so it’s okay. #AwesomeCharacters

🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Vanth would be most interested in this. She’s an indie author and she’d write her and Caldyr a fun little adventure with a treasure hunt, some mystery, good snacks, and good times. Maybe a fiery femme fatale for Vanth to flirt with too, depending on her mood. #AwesomeCharacters

Caldyr can be very patient when she’s in certain moods but if she’s just watching the popcorn in the microwave she may yell at it. Two day stakeout? No worries. 1 minute and 45 seconds for a salty snack? Ridiculous imposition, how dare this cruel universe? #AwesomeCharacters

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

I think the thing that bothers me the most about gamers having a toxic attitude towards game developers is that it's actually in gamers' best interest to show solidarity with developers against the actual thing that's ruining their favourite games: corporations

Caldyr starts out with a strong ego identity and she sees herself as good. She definitely wants to do good. But some of the story is about how people see justice and what is real, useful justice vs what just makes people feel good or helps some corporate bottom line. #AwesomeCharacters

Caldyr watches tv and movies most of the time. Mostly for entertainment but also it’s supposed to help her blend in a little more on earth. Later in the series, she takes up gaming. As an ocean fairy, she’s got a strong drive to hunt and PvP games help scratch an itch. #AwesomeCharacters

Reynardine. He can’t die as long as humans know his tale and believe its core idea, that the little guy can stand up to the system. In the world of Glass Fate, stories both beloved and believed create a sort of powerless but immortal god, a Mythfolk. Unbreakable ideas given life. #AwesomeCharacters
