hi this is for the ruby redfort ask game if you’re still doing it
hitch - 2, 7, 11, 21, 24
the silent g - 1, 9, 15, 18
ms drisco - 8, 13, 19
thank you!!
Hitch:
2) When I think I truly started to like them (or dislike them, if you've sent me a character I don't like) I think I always liked him. What can I say, he's a charming man.
7) A quote of them that you remember: Telling Clanyc not to be a church boy :)
11) What’s the first thing you think about when thinking about the character? This man who LIVES in suits just being the coolest ever. Like, a straight up comic book hero kinda guy. Sorta cliche but it works becuase HE'S SO COOL
21) When do you think they were at their happiest? Not sure honestly. I like to imagine he's very happy when he's working in the field, doing what he loves yk
24) What do you think is a secret they have that they never told anyone? He actually might've said this (oops) but as much as he loves Ruby he'd love to be relocated and work as a field agent again
The silent g (i like that lol):
My first impression of them: Evil, ngl. Maybe this is becuase I read the book for the first time when I was like, eight, but I thought he was gonna turn out to be actually bad.
9) Your least favorite outfit of them: All of them, I don't think he's style is that good tbh 😭 just plain brown 70s suits. Maybe tweed idk
15) Worst storyline they had: Being a dick
18) How do you think they were as a kid? (Like, were they shy, noisy, wild, etc): Very prim, very proper, very annoying. A total suck up to his teachers, but he secretly hated them and just wanted to be on their good side. Very sneaky, obviously, very smart and a massive show off who no one could stand :)
Mrs Drisco:
8) Your favorite outfit of them: All of then #grandmacore
13) Your favorite friendship they have: Her + her cats ofc
19) The most random ship you've seen people have with them: None, thank god 😭
Rr character ask - LB
3, 12, 18, 20, 23, 24 and 29.
Thanks :)
again, sorry this took so long!
3) A song that reminds me of them: Little Dark Age by MGMT
12) Sexuality hc! idk, she seems like a bit of a 'whatever,' kinda person. All I know is that she was very very in love with Bradley Baker :(
18) How do you think they were as a kid? (Like, were they shy, noisy, wild, etc) Exactly the way she is as an adult. Kinda like how I imagine Ruby to be but like, reversed.
20) A weird headcanon: I think it would be very cool if LB was like, an early punk?? Kinda sorta?? It's set in the early 70s so punk was barely a thing but I just like the idea of a vaguely punk LB
24) What do you think is a secret they have that they never told anyone? Life became easier after Bradley was presumed dead.
29) How do you think they would be as a parent? (and if they are a parent, how do you think they would be if they weren't?) She wouldn't be the sort of mum to sugarcoat things yk, she'd always just say it as it is. No bullshit, but loves her kids v much and would do anything for them
20 and 16 for hitch?
hi!! v sorry this took so long
16) A childhood headcanon: Strikes me as a very nature oriented kid. Probably obsessed with the Amazon and all it's little bugs and birds yk? Probably wanted to be a naturalist. That kinda thing
20) A weird headcanon: Meticulous manners. Especially as far as table manners go, with cutlery and stuff like that. This makes sense, becuase he's a butler and all, but I mean people are actually shocked by how polite he has the capacity to be
rr asks Clancy crew 12 and 18
thank you!
12) Sexuality hc! Not straight I think, but we barely (never? probably never) see him interact in any sort of romantic way around anyone, so really idk
18) How do you think they were as a kid? (Like, were they shy, noisy, wild, etc) Like a rule stickler to the point that he got serious anxiety from it, waaayyyy more than what he has now I think. I blame his dad
Hi!!! rr asks Ruby! 21 + 25 :)
hi, thank u!!
21) When do you think they were at their happiest? I think when she's got something to focus on, and isn't just poking around for some kinda trouble. Like when she's learning to parkour, or skateboard, and especially when she's figuring out a new code. but also when she's with her friends, doing regular 13 y/o stuff like planning halloween costumes, and eating donuts.
25) When do you think they acted the most ooc? When she was talking to/following around Beetle, before he damaged Clancy's bike. Idk, everytime I get to that bit in the book I'm confused as to why it's there, I just feel like it makes no sense as to why she'd actually talk to this rando guy yk. OH and the bit where she gets into an actauly fistfight with Del, against Vapona. wtf was that???
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
OH and Hitch rr asks 22!
damn, again.
22) When do you think they were at their lowest? hmm. probably also in ftf tbh, it was a bad time for everyone. mans was STRESSED ab ruby constantly, more than usual. but also, hitch is kinda like a sad character yk, he doesn't have many friends (that we know of), much of a backstory, no moments where he stands out as being particulary 'happy'
rr asks- 3 & 5 hitch
3) A song that reminds me of them: I think Rootless, by Marina. He doesn't have that many continual connections to people, and he mentions he doesn't usually stay in one place for very long. we also know so little of his backstory, he really is rootless lol. it's also a super good song, and I love this question :)
5) My favorite ship of them: idk, I can't think of heaps of other characters to ship him with tbh. maybe blacker, since hitch is pretty well organised and put together, while blacker is just not, I think it would be fun, like an opposites attract thing
hi!! for the character ask game, how about 28 + 11 for ruby, and/or 7 + 26 for hitch?
ahh yay!!
ruby:
11) What’s the first thing you think about when thinking about the character? a very stereotypically 70s looking ruby smartassing everyone she encounters. her doing everything she possibly can, all the time. banana milk
28) The most unnecessary thing they ever did? I mean if we're speaking literally then everything she did tbh, she was just going out of her way to do exactly what she was told to NOT do, but specifically?? maybe when she took Archie out with her to like, fight crime. like either leave the lemon at home or wait an hour its not that hard 😭
hitch:
7) A quote of them that you remember: i had to get my books out for this lol, i'm bad at remembering quotes. probably when he tells clancy to 'cut the churchboy act,' or something like in look into my eyes, when clancy is trying so hard to not ray ruby out. idk i just think its funny.
26) When do you think they were being "themselves" the most? I think when he's protecting ruby. like obviously he's pissed at her bc she's being stupid again, but he also like, cares for her?? he's a caring person and you can really see it in these moments, with these different aspects of his personality getting all wrapped up yk
Umm.’ Ruby?! English is not my first language, sorry 😅
ofc, np!!
22) When do you think they were at their lowest? damn. probably in feel the fear, when she goes on this full self-destructive rampage, completely disregarding her own mortality, that she could die at basically any minute doing what she was doing. the way hitch would try talking her down from it 😢
rr asks: Miles Froghorn 11 and 13
thanks!!
11) What’s the first thing you think about when thinking about the character? this very agitated, prematurely aging man trying SO HARD to not explode at the seams any time ruby opens her mouth
13) Your favorite friendship they have: does he have any friends 😭contradictory ik, but i think maybe ruby? they aren't really friends, but they do kinda have this mutual..thing together. they're both super ambitious so them egging each other on is kinda productive, seeing how far they'll go to one up each other. and the dynamic is fun lol
