Ruby Redfort - Blog Posts

hitch was born in 1931 what-

I would like to add that this VFD/marauders era of Ruby Redfort would be taking place in the 50s and I love that

okay okay okay so the Bradley Baker/LB era of Ruby Redfort is the same as the marauders era of Harry Potter and is also the same as the VFD era in A Series Of Unfortunate Events 😭

You know what I want?? 

I want backstories on all the referenced adult Spectrum agents. I wanna know how they were recruited, why they were recruited, who recruited them, how they did on *the test,* I wanna know everything.

like, who recruited Harper?

how did Blacker find his way to L.B when he was first recruited?

what was Froghorn’s first day like?

why was hitch recruited?

“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

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

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- 

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

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 

: | 

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 

Reblog if you would highkey watch

a Ruby Redfort tv show lmao

YES AND THE BEATLES 

Ruby Redfort would’ve listened to ABBA (even if it was just on the radio) and that makes me so happy

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

I’m a firm believer that Sabrina and Brant are very very blonde and when Ruby came out with hair as dark as dirt everyone just thought she was adopted 

the poses the question: ruby = adopted?? maybe?? would make sense??

ruby: pussy. 

the count: I will knock your ass out- 

I love these 

hihi so for some reason my tumblr decided to be wiped out, but anyways, here are my picrews of what ruby redfort and her girls look like:
