I’ve been RPing for years, and as Ray for 4ish years starting back in 2018! I have a shitton of headcanons for him that I’m slowly starting to remember! I don’t always reply super fast since I work full time, but I’m here!
I have a lot of OCs in Ray’s verse- see below-
In-Verse OCs
Elly Knight: Ray’s long-suffering secretary. 38, married to Shania and mother to Lottie. She’s the backbone of the office, honestly. He’d be lost without her and he fully admits this. She’s kind and fun but sensible, doesn’t take nonsense from anyone. Takes her coffee with oat milk.
Dorian Kasparian: Paid intern, future paralegal. 22, Armenian-American, devoted to his siblings. He’s loud, confident, and sometimes doesn’t know when to shut up. He’s Ivy’s best friend, and is obsessed with early 2000s music. He’s 5’6” and completely at peace with it. Truly.
Ivy McCormick: Paid intern, future paralegal. 21, Irish-American, very shy, but very dedicated their work. They get on well with Elly, and want to be more outspoken but lack confidence. They’re 5’10” and have a photographic memory. They’re building a tattoo sleeve based off Irish plants.
Isaiah Shields: Ray’s father. Died aged 30 (in the usual verse). Youngest of 5 siblings, worked as a mechanic during the day, bartender at night, and always wanted to be a musician. He was a very devoted father, always trying to make up for the absence of his wife, Ray’s mother, after her death.
Alright. It's a bit long-winded, so get ready. I like to call it:
-- The Fall of Dr. Wilson --
World-famous consulting detective Herlock Sholmes and his trusty companion Dr. Wilson decide to spend the night at a bar.
After only a few pints, Dr. Wilson gives up on the drinking and asks where the bathroom is. The bartender answers:
"It's up on the second floor - up these stairs. Be careful, though, as there will be two identical doors. One of them is the bathroom, while the other leads to certain death."
Wilson, understanding, proceeds up the stairs to the second floor.
Many minutes pass, however, the doctor never returns. Sholmes, worried, goes upstairs himself to investigate.
Opening his first door to the right reveals the bathroom. A lucky guess, but unfortunately, he finds no trace of his friend.
Once Sholmes opens the other door, he sees a long fall down to the ground - and sure enough, Dr. Wilson is at the bottom, pierced by spikes. Dead.
Sholmes reels back in shock, but quickly regains his senses. He immeduately realizes that this is no accident - that is, Wilson had been murdered.
How did Sholmes reach this conclusion?
All the necessary information is presented in the riddle. Good luck!

[as a Brit I’m obligated to say that this sounds like every Wetherspoons. so there.]
So… there’s just one bathroom? Progress, honestly, love to see it!
But…
…if it leads to certain death, then surely Sholmes should’ve died too? Wilson must’ve been pushed, right?
"objectively physically attractive but in possession of negative rizz" is one of my favorite character concepts. i think it's so great when there's an absurdly hot person who's just a complete fucking loser. the mood is unsalvageable the moment they open their mouth kind of deal. you get no bitches because you're so sucks.
[the person running this blog is a 28-year-old terminally single finance administrator who used to work in a law firm and goes overseas a lot to escape their issues. I couldn’t be any more Ray if I tried. know that this bleeds through]
[my tag for Sebastian is a pun off a song that I was SO confident was by Journey but it is in fact from the original Karate Kid soundtrack and I think as I’m approaching my 30s I’m just morphing into a shorter, chavvier version of Ray]
