was the nintendo even out in the 70s?? what did people look like in the 70s??
anyway these are not very canon-esqu but i don’t care, they all look like this in my mind (or something like this)
i just remembered i made on of these for mouse too
Mouse Huxtable
“She’s cool, she’s quiet, and she’s a great observer of the world.” - Lauren Child
WAY better
Even though Harry Potter came out first, I think Lemony Snicket from A Series of Unfortunate Events pulled off the "I'm in love with your mom" thing way better than Severus Snape.
literally
Del Lasco is basically a 13 year old version of Rosa Diaz
Ruby Redfort headcanons:
because we need more of these.
this is all pretty random, it's just shit that comes to mind so bear with me. there isn’t really textual evidence for any of this, its purley based off vibes
The whole gang is rich, excluding Red, and she is absolutely baffled by their need for huge houses and will poke fun at them all the time.
Mouse grows up to become a very well known screenwriter
Del is captain of every sports team there is, save for track, which she is definitely *not* bitter about
Elliot and Mouse are both really big nature lovers and big environmental activists
Red was the last one to make friends with the rest of them, she moved to after leaving her shitty dad in bumfack Nebaskra or something, her and her mum moved to Twinford when she was about 11 or 12.
speaking of which: fuck Red’s dad. I don’t even think this is a headcanon. I think this is canon.
anyway, Ruby, Clancy and Mouse are all friends from like, preschool or something.
Elliot showed up in kindy, Del in like, fifth/sixth grade, then Red.
Red’s mum is a cool mum™️
Del has several *interesting* stories from the few times she volunteered to watch over Bug while no one else could
Everyone but Ruby and Clancy have this ongoing inside joke about all of the time Ruby has just gone MIA, avoiding them all, and Clancy starts acting real suspicious around the same time, and what they could be up to
Red bakes to cheer everyone up
Mouse and Red are avid tea drinkers
Ruby went through a whole week of dressing as doll-like as possible, to appease her mother and get out of a bit of trouble, and none of her friends have ever let her forget it
Elliot and Clancy are avid birthday planners
They also frequently geek out about sci-fi stuff together
When Mouse runs for class president (becuase you know she totally would) Ruby gets Hitch on board to come up with an elaborate plan to figure out how likely each candidate is to win and why, so she can help out Mouse a little, she deserves it. Ruby was feeling generous. Also she owed Mouse one.
Del and Ruby are RIVALS when it comes to ping pong, no one but the other can beat them and they’re ALWAYS neck to neck
Del will help patch up her friends if they’ve been hurt while skating, playing sport, in a fight, whatever, she’d gotten good at doing that for herself with all the sport and fighting she does
Red is a very talented artist
Clancy is the designated driver of the group once they turn sixteen
He also has the house that's most frequently used for parties, sleepovers, etc on account of it being SO HUGE
Red is constantly changing her hair
Elliot will help her. no one knows why. he just does.
Clancy is probably a renaissance faire nerd
Ruby laughs at him for it but not as hard as Minny does
that's all for now folks but uhh if you couldn’t tell i love this friend group sm and Mouse Huxtable deserves more love
coulda just left it at hate seeing rich people tbh
haaaaate seeing rich ppl mansions that are so modern and minimal and severe like an art museum or smth…like hello ur in the perfect situation to build the coziest most ethereal home full of unique treasures and ultimate comfort. instead u buy beds and couches that look like they’re from roblox. anyways
DA reasons to improve your life:
1. Getting rid of many forms of social media will make you inconceivably mysterious. Are you an immortal that only texts and writes letters? Are you too busy devising a scheme or researching a lost civilization? Perhaps then you will exist more as an idea than a product of consumerism. Art was never meant to wear a price tag anyway.
2. Exercise to prepare for the day you have to leap onto that moving train to catch the figure who stole your carefully-curated research. Walk through cemeteries, the woods, museums—anywhere that allows you to appreciate the aching, fleeting beauty of the earth. Get your heart racing to remind yourself that you are, against all odds, alive.
3. Dressing with confidence will have you walking with purpose and others guessing what your purpose is. Why do you always look so put-together? Where did you get that haunting ring? Who’s chest wore that cardigan before you did? Where are you going with such enviable pride? They do not have to know that you wear a Philly’s baseball hoodie to study late into the night.
4. Journaling madly and keeping lists of everything can nearly guarantee that your teeming brain will live on, immortalized, for an archaeologist one thousand years down the line to unearth a detailed account of a most interesting ancient life.
5. If you learn small psychological, herbal, and folk tricks to cure headaches, sooth stomachs, and ease minds, and perform them with utmost flare, many will believe you to be magical in nature. You do not deny it.
6. Tea is a wonderful method of hydration. Tears are a wonderful method of dehydration. Balance, my darlings.
7. Stare at yourself in the mirror. Stare for hours—or maybe it will be only seconds. Stare, face lit by candlelight and stars, until your reflection whispers declarations of love to you instead of declarations of war.
8. Reading increases neuroplasticity. It also increases an optional knowledge of dead languages, forensic science, the blue-ringed octopus, Harry Potter’s favorite dessert, and why Orion Lake was not made for a deadly boarding school. Read late into the night; that isn’t particularly healthy, but, like I said, balance.
9. Lay in the sun for ten minutes each day. You are now a cat; watch the birds with lethal curiosity; stretch with all the laziness in the world. Vitamin D is good for you, and so is contemplating the simple needs of all living creatures.
10. Eat fruits and cheeses; bread and honey. You are a Greek muse. You dine in the halls of Olympus. Somewhere in the distance, Apollo plays his lyre. You want to sit here, in this stunning palace in the great wide sky, forever. You also want your daily intake of vitamins and minerals.
Stay healthy, stay curious, and stay painfully aware of the aesthetic manipulation of self.
everyone needs a clancy crew kinda friend in their life
including me
i’m re reading pick your poison rn and i’m remembering how everything from the last books are all tying together and it all just makes so much sense and I just-
these books are so good, not just for kids, they’re actually good books and not enough people recognize this
yes yes i’ve thought about this so often and i agree sm
Ok so I’ve been thing more and more about Ruby Redfish movies. So basically throughout the series (six books + the survival guide but it wouldn’t get a movie) everything happens within one year. If there were to be six/seven movies, that wouldn’t be possible as filming + editing + production takes quite a long time so here is what I would do if I were able to help out with movies:
1: Every two books a year would go by. Actors a lot of the time have huge age gaps with their characters, i’ve seen some be 10-15 years older, and depending on their face shape & makeup they can look quite convincing.
So it would start with LIME and TYLB with Ruby being 13, then CYD and FTF with her being 14, and PYP and BAYD with her being fifteen.
If she was aged up every year she’d be 18 which is way to old for the story, but i recon 15 would work.
Who I’d cast
I’m not going to go into my full fancast list (I’ll save it for another post), however I think it would be really cool if all the children were unknown actors, as there are so many undiscovered actors out there who this would be an incredible breakthrough for. I would also cast well know actors as the adults
This is a long post so I’ll add more later but thanks for reading and tell me your thoughts!!
Just saw an 11 year old on Tumblr with her whole name and info in her bio and like-
Listen i know there are lots of kids here under the age of 14 and you want to be on internet and have fun too and it's all good just be safe?? Don't tell your full name, where you live, your age (to random strangers) and especially your photos. I know I sound annoying and "old fashioned" but it is important dude, there are lot of people on the internet waiting to take advantage of you, i am not saying everyone is bad most people are amazing but some are not good? Don't disclose your information, idk if schools and parents have stopped teaching these things but you have to know internet safety, I know how much you wanna ignore and "break the rules" I was just like you but for god sake keep yourself safe please.
can someone please tell me if there's a backstory on how hitch got recruited into spectrum? i feel like there should be but i can’t think of any and its been a minute since i’ve read the books
if there isn’t please tell me theories i must know
just remembered it’s in california
what region of the US is Twinford in? like it’s meant to be close to the ocean, its meant to have prairie sort of areas surrounding it to the northeast, and it never seems to get drastically cold…
also it gets very windy.
May you find exactly what you want at the thrift shop, in your price range, next time you’re there.
the whole book tbh
Hitch at the end of FTF:
ruby redfort moodboard
this was harder than i thought it would be
everytime i sit my sorry as down to eat bagels and jam i fucking TRANSCEND. ITS SO GOOD UGH I JUST WISH I COULD HAVE INFINITE BAGELS AND JAM
ruby is 5′5 canon
I know it’s canon that ruby is under 5ft (tylb) but I’m sick of short protagonists in my head she is AT LEAST 5’4-5’5 because honestly that’s not tooooooo much to ask for
ALSO A SECOND FUCKIN ACC OF MINE IM LOGGED OUT OF
if Ruby Redfort wasn’t set in the 70s I could definitely count on Mouse and Red being she/they pronoun users
man seeing old posts of mine in the ruby redfort tag is so weird
my personal Clancy Crew headcanon (if rr was modern) is that he fucking loves Google Earth. Like he will spend hours going to all these different places, especially ones in the ocean and just ‘explore’. he does all the quizzes and games too. Ruby thinks its weird and tries telling him it would be better irl but he obviously doesn’t listen :)
don’t know where this came from but it feels right
its all i need in life at this point
I would sell my soul for a ruby redfort tv show or film for two reasons
a) it’s an AMAZING book series and would work super well on screen
b) it’s not that well known and a movie/tv show would bring it visibility and make it more popular
i feel like everyone at Spectrum would sorta band together to like...help care fro ruby. they’d all sorta help out hitch and mrs digby best they could. alos mrs digby would get EXTREMELY protective of ruby. like would not let the girl out of her sight, hitch actually had to step in at one point
very sad post but i lowkey want to know what would’ve happened if Brant and Sabina died after the pirate attacks. like Ruby and Hitch and Mrs Digby just thinking about it was so sad to read but what if……
fox news now literally just looks like the shitposts my friends and i make. this fucking rips
this lesbian love note in a thrifted book has overcome me like it really is all about love it has always been and will always be
