Find Ryan Derby.

My name is Rachel Derby.

My twin brother, Ryan, has been missing for four months. He disappeared on a town-funded expedition to view the April 8th eclipse. Police reports claim he disappeared in Missouri. They say it's not their jurisdiction.

That's bullshit, and they know it.

Ryan didn't disappear in Missouri. He saw the eclipse. They told me that he was gone afterwards and they didn't notice till the bus broke down on the way back. But the people on the bus saw him get back on. He was there till the bus broke down. People saw him listening to music. Then he was gone. He disappeared right here in Connecticut. Less than an hour from his home.

I'm being lied to.

I tried to sue the township, but the suit fell through, and now I don't have money for a lawyer. All of my friends are avoiding me. My mom won't even talk about Ryan. The police called off the investigation. Everyone's ignoring the fact he just vanished into thin air. Everyone but me.

They're hiding something.

I perceive their deception in the way my mother looks over my head when I bring up Ryan, unable to meet my gaze. I sense it in the way my friends will sometimes share a look when I ask them to help me investigate. I feel it in the air, when I catch a glimpse of something among the trees.

Something isn't right about all of this.

Unusual activity is not uncommon in our family. Our grandma was a practitioner of ancient Jewish mysticism, taught to her by old, distant relatives back during World War II. I'm actually named after her. She supposedly summoned and spoke to angels. And while I'm not quite sure I believe that, I will admit her house always seemed full of mysterious presences. I am not ready to say Ryan disappeared under paranormal circumstances, but I do believe something's very seriously wrong about all of this. Beyond the average wrongness.

Ryan had a serious case of xylophobia- so did our grandma- and not without undue cause. The woods in our area are known to be unsafe, to the point where camping isn't allowed without special permits. In addition, he had a semi-traumatic experience in the woods near our home some fifteen years ago. But when he was last seen, he was walking directly into the woods he so feared.

And now the forest feels evil.

I am launching an investigation into Ryan's disappearance. I will regularly update this blog with my findings. He was last sighted on the roadside an hour away from Blue Star, near White Cross. If anyone has any information, contact me at searchforananswer@outlook.com.

Salem 1799

I always tell my students forget dates, you can always look them up, dates are a terrible way to learn history, but sometimes dates just stand out: 1348, 1517, 1776, 1789, 1914. The other day I was engaged in some endnote-editing and somehow, the date 1799 just started jumping out at me: it suddently seemed like the most important date in Salem’s history! Why? A lot of building mostly: of two of…

There's a parallel to this:

Follow up to the last one (it felt like it could be its own thing), is there something that the girls share that’s just for two of them? Like inside jokes or activities that Moe and Hazel or Robbie and Moe, etc will do? And is there something all three of them consider sacred amongst themselves that not even their dads can participate in (without an extreme amount of reluctance ofc)?

so sorry for the delay in answering these. I used to do all my writing at work bc they weren't giving me enough tasks to fill the day but then my boss got fired last week and everything blew up and now they're actually giving me work to do so there's gonna be an overall pls hold on the writing front

Anyhoo there isn’t really much overlap in Moe, Robbie, and Hazel's major hobbies/interests (which Steve & Eddie are extremely grateful for because they’re competitive enough as is). Like, Moe is way sportier than the other two, Robbie is the musically-inclined one, Hazel does ballet all the way through high school and also has the whole animal sciences thing.

I honestly think Robbie and Moe go through a pretty long phase of not spending a whole ton of “quality time” together. Hanging out for them looks like sitting on their phones on opposite ends of the couch occasionally tagging each other in memes and saying "you lol". They definitely break out their ancient Wii every now and then to play all the old games, and I also think they’d be fully involved in each other’s drama. If Robbie’s friend group is at war with each other (we’ve all been there), Moe is just as glued to Robbie’s phone as Robbie is herself, watching the group chat fall apart and telling her how to respond.

I also think Moe and Robbie would be concert buddies when they're older, and as for activities they bar their dads from -- I 100% think that Robbie and Moe give each other stick-and-pokes in high school, and Moe definitely assists in the (multiple) ear-piercings that Robbie gives herself.

If Hazel needs a sister to rope into filming TikToks, she’s definitely going to Moe first, but Robbie’s the one she’ll ask to go shopping with.

Robbie probably ropes Hazel into all her artsy stuff like, “I’m gonna make Aunt Nancy teach me how to crochet. Wanna come?” (and then they’ll come out the other side with completely different end products).

I'm not sure if there's anything super super sacred between them (though I did read The Penderwicks growing up and this made me think of the MOPS - Meeting of Penderwick Sisters) so they might have little movie nights where they all pile into Moe's bed with snacks and a laptop balanced on their knees, and Steve and Eddie are like...hello???

Seeing on TikTok that Republicans are trying to get Kamala pulled from the ticket via the Dred Scott case and being like this has to be a lie, there's no fucking way that any Republican on earth is this dumb only to see my insanely stupid second cousin repost a shitty pixelated meme supporting it on Facebook with "damn right, proud that we know and respect our history"
