Am I the only person reading the Ruby Redfort series and still having no idea how to pronounce some of the characters names?

[dxppercxdxver]

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

Fancast day1 (I’m gonna share one of my fancasts every day)

Lorelei Von Leyden fancast Margot Robbie

Why? Margot was a huge inspiration to me growing up and I know she can act amazingly, she is also Australian like Lorelei and she can play a bit of a psychopathic character well.

She also fits Lauren Child’s concept art for her very well too

Claude: Do any of you have any healthy stress outlets?

Lorelei: Screaming.

Marnie: Murder.

The Count: Manipulation.

Claude: Okay, so we have screaming…

Babyface: *gets down on one knee*

Lorelei: Oh my god, it’s finally happening!

Babyface: *keels over*

Lorelei: The venom is kicking in!

[nonbinaryfroghorn]

ok there's so much about the archivist!froghorn au that i haven't even remotely worked out but here are some antagonists

the count/victor von leyden: is the head of the institute. he's .... basically canon count but more bureaucratic and oh god i hate him. avatar of the whore the eye

casey morgan: the original founder of the institute, who has been body-hopping for the past 200 years. victor von leyden is actually casey morgan in the body of von leyden. morgan sucks i hate her too. an avatar of the eye, but also heavily web-aligned with a touch of stranger in there too

marnie novak/the australian: avatar of the desolation!!

lorelei von leyden: avatar of the stranger. also in this au the name is a coincidence because i don't want to think about the count having a kid it unnerves me too much

claude fontaine: avatar of the vast. i know his whole thing is actually not falling from heights but i just think itd be neat

[rubyredfortncarnivorousplants]

A story in the style in the play set 29 years after the incidents of BAYD, Clancy Crew is grown up with his own daughter called Penelope. Penelope has very similar characteristics to his former best friend Ruby, she's the smart all- American girl. She's sassy, and very very popular. Everyone has gone their own seperate ways, but they're all not entirely gone. Looking up to her Aunt Ruby, she finds out something that could have possibly gotten her into trouble. Inspired by how she always put two and two together, Penelope goes out on a wild journey with the help of Hitch, and her best friend, Henry Huxtable, to find out the real truth.

Ghost Explains His Ruby Redfort Playlist At Great Length

(aka the most self-indulgent and probably longest post i’ve ever made, enjoy!)

Also, I’d love to hear any songs you think fit the story/characters! In the tags, replies whatever, I’m 100% down for RR themed song recommendations :D

- Ruby Slippers: Both a reference to her name, and the infamous red clogs from Look Into My Eyes. Also: “Drowning, neck deep in the drama, these catastrophic problems that follow your around” is perfect for her ‘reputation’ at Spectrum.

- Rules: Links to Ruby’s rules, and has themes of questioning/rebelling against authority. “You know you’re never gonna get to find out anyway, the game plays us for fools, you know you’re never gonna get to have the final say, you don’t get to make the rules” matches with Ruby’s defiance of Spectrum, especially her issues with LB.

- Spy?: It’s straight up about spies, what more could you ask for? Also, thought it was good for the mole situation, as well as Ruby’s tendency for self-endangerment.

- Bubblegum Bitch: She wasn’t called “bubblegum girl” by Lorelei for no reason, plus thought it had a fitting amount of attitude.

- It’s A Trap!: It’s a call for action! It’s defiant! Links to wanting to be a field agent rather than a desk job like code cracking, and desire for action instead of waiting around.

- You’re Nobody Till Somebody Wants You Dead: Ruby sure did accumulate a lot of enemies, unfortunately most of them being bloodthirsty killers instead of the standard middle school rivalry. Also reflects a growing paranoia, because isn’t that fun :D “You’re nobody till somebody wants you dead, and the list it grows and grows until it’s everyone you’ve ever known.”

- Blood Red Youth: Ruby’s youth sure has been bloody! About being involved in stuff you probably shouldn’t be at that age.

- Meet Me On the Roof: The roof of the Redfort house is a popular hangout throughout the series, and the line “How high is your low gonna go?” can link to Spectrum potentially lowering standards/relaxing rules to let her work for them. Also! “Taking drowning lessons, secret words and true confessions goes super well with Take Your Last Breath: links to the threat of drowning and the truth serum.

- The Last of the Real Ones: This one I think can be interpreted multiple ways: could be Clancy and Ruby about each other, Ruby about Bradley Baker, or (i think this one is strongest) LB about Baker. About someone who’s had a strong impact on your life: both people feeling set aside from others and connected to each other.

- The Reckless and the Brave: Fits Ruby’s temperament v well, and it’s about wanting a more exciting/meaningful life- wanting to be a part of Spectrum and determination to prover herself as an agent.

- Perfume: This one encapsulates Pick Your Poison for me- Links to the perfume code, Lorelei von Leyden and her signature of Turkish Delight, and “I don’t like his eyes, and I distrust the name” for Ruby’s suspicion of Blacker.

- Bad Decisions: She has quite the track record of making questionable decisions, so,,, 

- The Kids Aren’t Alright: The title alone earnt it a place I reckon, but also “Former heroes who quit too late, just wanna fill up the trophy case again” could fit Buzz and Baker for different reasons, and “I’d do it all again, I think you’re my best friend” is Ruby and Clancy.

- Daniel in the Den: It’s paranoia and betrayal again!! “It’s harder than you think telling dreams from one another” for difficulty discerning genuine concern with paranoia, and “And felled in the night by the ones you think you love, they will come for you” speaks for itself.

- HEY CHILD: Replace child with kid, and I think it’s a decent fit for Hitch to Ruby.

- Don’t Stop Me Now: It’s fun and confident, something nice and upbeat for Ruby.

- RISE: It’s a fighting anthem! Similar to Reckless and the Brave, it links to wanting to prove herself in Spectrum, and her determination to succeed in dangerous situations against the odds.

- Send Them Off!: Really like this song to represent the jealousy dealt with by Clancy and Ruby- Clancy’s jealousy of Ruby, and Ruby’s jealousy of Bradley Baker. The opening lines stuck out to me particularly as being about Baker’s death.

- You’re My Best Friend- Clancy and Ruby are best friends your honour!! I think this song fits their friendship super well. 

- Kung Fu Fighting: I saw this in another RR playlist looking for inspiration/songs outside what I normally listen to, and adfgdfgfh brilliant idea i love it! Fun to imagine the training scenes in Pick Your Poison.

- The Edge: This one is for a very specific scene- At the end of Blink and You Die, where Ruby is on the window ledge as Buzz and Hitch try to convince her to trust them, and that the other is the mole. Lyrics about a balancing act on a high edge as a metaphor for the tipping point in a relationship.

- I’m Still Standing: A fantastic and triumphant song to finish off! “Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid.”

female awesome meme; 5/5 antagonists ~ Lorelei Von Leyden; Ruby Redfort

[agentredfort]

The first bunch of rr tarot cards, based on that post I made a while back! After a bit of deliberation, I decided to actually draw them out so a) you all could see them as they (sort of) appeared in my head and b) so I could have a working deck at the end of it all. (when i’ve finished the major arcana, i might start working on the minor arcana. probably not tho)

You can tell that I honestly didn’t try for some of these, tbh.

0: The Fool (imagination, intuition, rushing into a situation without thought)- Ruby Redfort

1: The Magician (mastery, in one’s element, reaching maturity)- Miles Froghorn

2: The High Priestess (foresight, intuition, consideration)- LB

3: The Empress (feminine influence, practicality, tools at hand)-   Lorelei Von Leyden

4: The Emperor (authority, patriarchy, following the rules)-  Bradley Baker

5: The Hierophant (weight of history, ritualism, old practices)-   Mrs Digby

[laniidae-passerine]

SHIT LORELEI AND CLAUDE FONTAINE ARE STEP SIBLINGS

[nonbinaryfroghorn]

clancy: dads will see their kids and say is anyone gonna emotionally damage that and not wait for an answer

lorelei: dads see their kids???

[laniidae-passerine]

The likely themes of Ruby Redfort characters’ nightmares:

Ruby: dark, enclosed spaces that she’s never been in before, the Count

Clancy: Lorelei Von Leyden

Hitch: Valerie Capaldi, serious injury to the kids, crocodiles

Blacker: drowning, submarine or helicopter accident

LB: the memory of pressing one big yellow button in her apartment, Bradley hating her for the rest of time

Miles: probably being mocked openly in a cruel way especially by Blacker, getting fired by LB

SJ: worrying about what happened to Homer Pinkerton

Lorelei: her own mother finding her

Sabrina and Brant: their daughter dying, losing each other

Mrs Digby: snakes, ghosts, anything happening to Ruby
