🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 19hThanks! I really enjoyed writing it. Plus if any modern show deserves a celebratory connection to the crone mythos, it’s Golden Girls. 020
🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Baba 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. #AwesomeCharactersstatic.klipy.comSophia Petrillo's Evil Laugh in Golden GirlsALT: Sophia Petrillo's Evil Laugh in Golden Girls 120
🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 14/10/2026I know Allen isn’t dead, this joke is just wishful thinking. 000
🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 14/10/2026What 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. 100
🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Made 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. 000
🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 14/10/2026He tried to say it in an edgy way, but the meat of his joke was women need to dress more conservatively which isn’t taboo at all. Also the dominant political party is led by… yeah, no need to say all that. Men just love to be victims. 000
🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 14/10/2026The 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. 100
🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Just Artemis from that group. Caldyr meets the others and quite a few more as the story goes on. 020
🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 14/10/2026It’s actually a little series of novellas and I’m working on them as a group. I had the first up on Amazon for a while but I decided to rework some stuff since I was finishing drafting the last two books before I got 2 out even. 100
🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 14/10/2026In 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 120
🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Usually it’s pretty late in the game, she likes to end fights quick. Most of the time she sticks to not-human fights herself anyway to avoid hurting people too bad so they know she’s got some juice before the fight starts. 110
🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Yes. It comes up in a later story but she does get something like a proper fight. 010
🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Caldyr 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 240
🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Yeah it is. Actually one of my big genre complaints is the jaded or aloof detective being so incurious. It just feels off most the time. 010
🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Yes, 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. #AwesomeCharactersstatic.klipy.comX-Files Mulder: "I saw Elvis in a potato chip once."Alt: X-Files Mulder: "I saw Elvis in a potato chip once." 172
🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 12/10/2026She’s got a pretty decent moral compass herself, she just understands that situations get extreme. 010
🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 11/10/2026In 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 130

🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Caldyr 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 120
🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Yes! They’re my favorite food and sort of a California essential. Can’t write a series glorifying the golden state without them. 010
🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Caldyr 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 130
🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Yeah it is. Also when you get some experience and all. She’s kinda assuming it’s a talent and discounting the skill part. 010
🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 07/10/2026It’s not bullying them to change their opinions, it’s making people aware that the celebrity is a dangerous weirdo. 040
🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Caldyr 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 120
🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Yeah for sure. The ambiguity and having to decide what is right or wrong and how much it matters is part of the story. 010
🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 06/10/2026ADHD is the worst when I’m trying to do something I really will enjoy like wasting time hunting a challenge in a game but I just can’t even focus enough to chase the dopamine. I can’t even slack off properly. Horrible situation. 000
🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Ysengrim 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 130
🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Surf 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 022

🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Caldyr 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 110
🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Yeah it’s one of his core traits actually. Can’t be 3 moves ahead if you don’t don’t know where all the pieces are. 010
🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Reynardine 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 120

🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Went 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. 000
🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Why did the loaf of bread buy a new camera? All of its pictures were coming out grainy. The new photos were better but still a little crumby. 110
🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Reynardine. 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 131
🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Oh yeah if nothing else it’s fun. He’s a fun guy. 010
🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Caldyr 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 110
🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Yeah that’s kinda for Caldyr. She’d add some stuff for her bestie to enjoy. 010
🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Vanth 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 110

🎄Johnny Cherry Cordial🎄 @cordialwords.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Caldyr 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 140
