“She’s got all these people telling her not to run ahead of herself” - Lauren Child on Ruby, December 7th 2021

Interview from late 2021 with Lauren Child, who has an amazing conversation with interviewer Blossom (@teawithhb) on Instagram. There is a lot of Ruby Redfort behind the scenes, as well as other interesting things about Lauren and her other books. Listen here

headcanon that clancy and mouse are the biggest lord of the rings nerds to ever exist

they try explaining it to del who just understands NOTHING 

ruby secretly loves it :)

I just think that clancy crew becoming the fastest swimmer on the twinford middle school swim team becuase he was so scared and just wanted to get out of the water is so incredibly funny

The Court Wizard and His Apprentice (it's his first day, be nice.)

[ID in alt text]

watching the US ban more books and make robot police dogs

någon gång hatar jag svenska 😐

can we please acknowledge the fact that TYLB is absolutely TERRIFYING??? 

like THERE IS A LITERAL SEA MONSTER ON THE COAST OF TWINFORD. a sea monster that eats people and forces them to tell the truth if they escape with their life like that is some fantasy shit and no one questions it?? also ruby and clancy nearly drowning in that cave full of sharks + a sea monster??

terrifying, I tell you

this is genius 

LB: Also, a reminder that if you find a USB outside, do not bring it into the workplace.

Ruby, taking notes: International bees only

PLEASE 

having. having thoughts about a post-bayd fic that basically forms an imaginary seventh novel because like. pretty sure the count is still out there. i could easily justify lorelei still being on the warpath. new villains would arise to fill the power vacuum casey morgan left. i actually need hitch to demonstrate some vulnerability. older ruby and co. past hitch/lb/baker (i don’t know if there’s Any demand for that but I Like It so). current Budding hitch/miles/blacker. maybe a Bit of del/ruby if i feel like it. more explorations of the fact that no one in ruby’s friend group can possibly be cisgender heterosexual. ruby actually gets comeuppance for stealing from hal so many times (because i think it would be funny). thoughts, thoughts, many thoughts

this is the other thing that lives in my mind

So I was going through Louisa May Alcott's (the author of Little Women) wikipedia page when I stumbled upon this:

Fellas...

sorry for the little women spam but jesus christ it’s all that goes on in my mind 

Lesbians 🤝 Aros

Vibing with period drama women who don't want to get married and would rather just hangout with their sisters and friends for the rest of their lives and want to have a career and education and say things like "if I were a man"

i know people are mostly focused on the more somber scenes from little women but tbh the most relatable scene for me is when jo barrels downstairs and shoves a large piece of bread in her mouth completely unaware of her surroundings and meanwhile her family is like “um hey there’s someone here to see you” and her automatically replying “I don’t know anyone”

EVERYONE LEAVES OUT THE PART WHERE SHE ADMITS HER LONELINESS BUT THAT, THAT IS THE PIVOTAL MOMENT, THE WHOLE POINT OF THE SPEECH  

when jo march said “i don’t believe i will ever marry. i’m happy as i am, and love my liberty too well to be in any hurry to give it up” and also when jo march said “women have minds and souls as well as hearts, ambition and talent as well as beauty and i’m sick of being told that love is all a woman is fit for. but… i am so lonely”

okay okay this might be a little morbid but how do you think ruby dies?? like there’s no way that poor girl will die of like, old age. she very nearly died like ten times in the time span of HALF A YEAR I MEAN STATISTICALLY SHE’S NOT GONNA MAKE IT TO 25

she’s 100% going out protecting someone/something of importance though, so that’s...something i guess 

this is miserable. i’m miserable. i’ve made myself miserable. 

incase you were wondering, the girl in the picture on my blog header is in fact Red Monroe. 

everyday I struggle to believe that the ENTIRE RR series took place over like, half a year. she’s thirteen at the start. she’s thirteen at the end. what the fuck. 

the amount of pure trauma experienced in such a short span of time I just- 

the nature of nsw makes me happier than most other things tbh 

the relationship between a person and the native flora and fauna of where they grew up is something that can actually be so personal

I can get through life with nothing but this written down somewhere . 

*plant identification* :)

RUBY

More Redfort: Out there solving crime when she was definitely not assigned that case!! Get back to your paperwork before you get fired Ruby!!

scrolling through the rr tag and found this post and it made me remember..

I always wondered what the story was gonna be when those employers got BACK??

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR THREE YEARS IS UP HITCH?? THEN WHAT??

Just started re-reading the Ruby Redfort books and Hitch the professional spy shows up with the cover story “oh yeah, previous employers? They’re uh, traveling India. By elephant. Yep. Long trip,” and I’m like come on Hitch, LB isn’t paying you for this

greek mythology | part there’s too many for me to remember

ruby redfort 

jo march

many thoughts with no useful meanings are happening 

RUBYYYYY

Guess who rediscovered an interest in Ruby Redfort of all things?

Background inspired by the inside cover of Pick Your Poison!

okay so I’m a firm believer that Ruby Redfort is australian, she just is, and I’m from Sydney so I’m going off this: 

she’s from the Eastern Suburbs. 

she’s that person 

: | 

Missed opportunity, I tell you. 👏 Missed opportunity 👏

obsessed w her 

ruby redfort scratches an itch in my brain...like this bitch is drinking banana milk with her antique telephone collection and vocabulary like a newsboy stereotype....obsessed with her....

not at all saying someone writing a fic ab this would be beyond amazing... 

del/ruby headcanon that del gives ruby her varsity jacket to wear in high school and ruby wears it ALL THE TIME 

all the emotions 

im just a normal girl . i sit near a body of water and immediately experience the entire range of human emotions
