I’m Not Giving Up The Australian Ruby Agenda 

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

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 

okay okay okay very important post here guys, so I started rereading bayd today bc I remember NOTHING from the first time I read it, and I’ve never actually finished pyp, so can someone summarise the last half of pyp please and thank u :)

AND RED AND MOUSE ROLLER SKATING AHH 

pls lmk if this is wrong but i think ruby stopped skateboarding after ftf which is just so tragic bc imagine ruby skating through the hallways at spectrum or smthing while waiting for LB to yell at her 

brown eyes are some of the most beautiful ones in my opinion

i need some white ppl to understand that brown/black eye appreciation posts are about uplifting features that are usually considered ugly because of their association with poc. the rhetoric that light eyes r superior is rooted in racism & most poc grew up believing our brown eyes were shameful so we could never be as beautiful as our white peers. someone on tumblr.com saying “brown eye supremacy” is a very small act of rebellion against western beauty standards that told us our fucking eyeballs are inferior

reblogging to find this later 

Earthy Academia Aesthetic ~~

(also called botanical or forest academia)

character traits

- windswept hair that used to be tied back perfectly, but has fallen out here and there due to exploring outside

- empathetic, cheerful, clever, earnest, kind, hearty, genuine, wise, strong

- overabundance of generosity, often giving small rocks, shells, cool leaves, or flowers as sentimental gifts

- very gentle nature as they often befriend animals and care for many plants

- can be naturally intelligent, but not always .. they work really hard in order to understand as many flora and fauna as possible

- can either be very orderly and neat , or on the other hand very chaotic and messy (two opposite ends of the spectrum)

- very resourceful and inventive, must be quick thinkers in order to successfully solve problems that may arise then exploring and tools are limited

interests

- great lover of tea and black coffee

- incredible plant parent , and they are know for having a large rare plant collection

- they befriend many creatures, but are selective about which ones they keep as pets as they believe that animals should be free to wander as they do

- can be humanities oriented (history, mythology, art, literature) or science oriented (biology, botany, geology, biochemistry)

- they either hyper-focus on one specific natural topic or are well-read in a large variety of natural topics , either way they are always open to understanding new things regarding any topic

- hand written letters that always include pressed flowers or leaves

- interested in the scientific aspect of astrology, and less the supernatural implications

- knows in their heart that nature will eventually reclaim the world, and they are at peace with that realization

outfits and key colors

- sweaters, overalls, comfy jackets, denim or corduroy in winter/fall/spring, linen in summer

- worn leather boots and gloves

- button up shirts, tweed jackets

- muted colors, greens of the forest, dark browns of the earth, pale yellow of worn book pages, black and dark blues like the night sky, occasional gray

- sometimes sage green and light tan if channeling a lighter vibe

side note:

heavily believes in scientific fact, and is extremely hesitant to place trust in people who don’t listen to science or remain ignorant to its teachings

(original aesthetic idea: @earthy-academia , additional developments from @tolkien-fantasy )

fox news now literally just looks like the shitposts my friends and i make. this fucking rips

I like to imagine that Spectrum is just always decades ahead of the rest of the world in terms of tech which is 100% something ruby would have SO MUCH trouble just keeping to herself (plus clancy ofc) bc no matter what she says she’s a total nerd and would not be cool about seeing all this futuristic tech some time lmao 

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.

i dont agree with everything i say by the way. i’m not that type of girl
