Aidan has two faces.

When Aidan first came into being (way, way before he was ever JD's brother), I pictured this:


And Jared Padalecki is still "officially" the face of Aidan (with the personality of one of my coworkers)... but when I write I am secretly picturing Steven R. McQueen:


I think it is partially because Aidan's storyline has taken on a little bit more of a dark and emo sort of tone than I originally planned, which fits Steven's visuals better. Plus it's easier to picture him as the "helpless" baby brother since he's only like 20 whereas Jared Padalecki is like 30 now.

Who is Tyler Durden?

Okay, maybe not Tyler Durden. Tyler Something (Smith at the moment, I was purposely going for something very vanilla, but I might change it).

Anyways, last night I typed up about 2,000 words that were all Tyler-centric. If you remember, dear (only) reader, I was feeling a bit confused about Team Tyler vs. Team Daniel. This is because I'd forgotten a fundamental truth about Tyler, and the stuff I typed up last night got into that. Like JD, I will always ever-so-slightly regret that she didn't choose him, but after what he did last night, we owe it to ourselves to not make that choice. And if I ever actually have people read this blog I suppose I'll need to delete this paragraph since it is a "spoiler."

The point of this post, actually, is that I am still deciding who to "cast" for Tyler. I don't have one specific person in mind--not even the real-life person he is mostly based on--I just picture a dark-haired, blue-eyed muscley jock.

My top choice currently is this guy, Wes Brown, who you may recognize as Luke from True Blood (he was at the Fellowship of the Sun church with Jason Stackhouse). He's cute, but not OMGCUTE, and has that good ol' boy charm (Tyler is from Texas).


Another possible choice is Michael Trevino, who is on Vampire Diaries (and actually plays a character named Tyler haha). I think he's not quite jockish enough, but I was favoring him back when I was going to play up Tyler's Italian heritage (which I don't think I am doing now). But I still think he's hot so I'm just going to post a photo anyways haha.


And lastly, as I was looking for photos of the aforementioned Wes Brown, Eddie Cibrian somehow popped up (I guess one of those "People who searched for Wes Brown also like...") and Eddie is way too hot to be Tyler (they are all attractive, since it's a fantasy world and there are no ugly people in books, but Tyler is supposed to be the least attractive of the three main males [not that I will ever even write that, but I know it in my head]), but he does have (to me) something Tylerish about him. I am taking his dimples, at the very least. He's also obviously way too old, but that doesn't really matter for my purposes.
