Ruby: Pussy. 

like middle of brown and blonde 

so we all agree that clancy crew is blonde and definitely not straight? yup yup got it

everyone needs a clancy crew kinda friend in their life 

including me 

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....

listened to ONLY by red and elliot 

If Ruby Redfort was modern, Ruby and Clancy would have a podcast and it would just be straight chaos

i think it’s funny that, in the duffers’ apparently limited capacity for proper inter-volume continuity, they chose the stancy renaissance. what a choice! not el’s feelings of powerless inadequacy, not the integral traits of several characters, not even the fucking cop car tire-slashing incident got that treatment. stancy, of all things, was just that important. in case it’s not clear i am being so sarcastic right now i think it was so dumb and stancy is so unimportant and i think the duffers were being incredibly idiotic idiots. blechhhh

the whole book tbh 

Hitch at the end of FTF:

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. 

Do you have a list or something of your favourite academic/theory books? 🥺

sure! all of them should be available on libgen, so enjoy 🧚🏻‍♀️ i did focus on cultural histories rather than theory, though, otherwise it would get too long. virtually all of them are published by the academic presses, and well-sourced and peer-reviewed. no pseudoscience in this household, no sirree! (also, none of them have anything to do with my actual field of study. i’m just like that)

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.

Hi! For the Character Ask Game:

Clancy - 3, 18, 20, 23

Thanks, bye!!

thank u!!

3) A song that reminds me of them: Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy by Queen. I'm not sure how the song reminds me of him, but I can so picture him listening to it obsessively. They have the same vibe yk

18) How do you think they were as a kid? (Like, were they shy, noisy, wild, etc) I think he'd have been one of those kids who would be SO terrified to break any sort of rule, ever, and probably had a lot of anxiety about 'doing something wrong.' much more so than he does when he's thirteen.

20) A weird headcanon: Trombone player.

23) Future headcanon: Changes his hair a lot as he gets older. Especially as a teenager, mostly to piss off his parents. Minnie + Ruby would help ofc
