Rewatching movies that hold a part of your childhood is so precious to me🫶🏼 I just finished my nth rewatch of the ruby-red trilogy and cannot even begin to describe how dear these movies are to me.
Yes I've read the books and I know the adaptation gets a lot of hate esp. in comparison to them BUT I watched these movies 10 years ago and yet I still cry every time I see them now as a 19 year old. I can basically mouth the dialogue with the actors and know exactly what will happen next, but I revisit a part of myself - the little girl inside of me - that is gone most of the time these days and only comes out in the comfort of things she's familiar with.
And I love getting in touch with that part of myself over and over again and to take my time and sit with her. To remind myself that while the word is fast paced and sometimes (all the time) things spin out of control and you can't keep up - in you lives that little girl who just really wants to fall in love and experience crazy adventures like her heroins do. And then I remind myself that in truth I'm still just that girl and at my core my dreams haven't chanced a bit in the last 10 years.
So yeah I love rewatching childhood movies! Also I might've started crying while typing this lol

Who made everything?
Just finished a reread of the Edelstein Triolgie and something that was bothering was that I don’t know who actually like made the Chronograph? 
I’m not sure if I accidently skipped over the explaination but who actually wrote the prophecies and made the chronograph. We know the Graf made the organization but its not like he could see the future so how did he come up with all the propecies that happen? I get the whole Newton calculating their birthdays thing, sure whatever, but the rest?? 
I thought maybe there was someone like Tante Maddy in the past and he used them but idk. Also my only guess for the Chronograph is that either he went into the past and had all his smart friends to build it or like after he made the Organization build it. 
He did also talk to that one girl he impregnated all about everything he knew which included the whole “Stein der Weisen” meaning he had the Prophecies as a younger man? 
If anyone knows please help!

2022 books: the edelstein (ruby red) trilogy by kerstin gier Although I had never seen him before, I recognized him immediately. I'd have known his voice anywhere. This was the guy I'd seen on my last journey back in time. Or more precisely, the one who'd kissed my doppelgänger while I was hiding behind the curtain in disbelief.

The more I think about it, the more I get mad over Charlotte's characterization in the Gemstone trilogy. Like she's being so awfull to Gwendolyn during all three books, she gets no redemption and the last thing we read about her in the books, is about her getting drunk on that birthday party and embarrassing herself to the point the whole school talks about her. I get how it's supposed to give some satisfaction to the reader, since she has been that miss perfect that treats Gwendolyn like shit from book one, but on the other hand it is so unfair for Charlotte. Yes, she is miss perfect, yes she has been horrible to Gwendolyn, but let's look at this from Charlotte's pov:
1) she was never able to have a real childhood, because everyone thought she was the Ruby. Meanwhile Gwendolyn gets to grow up in a cottage at first and then later in London, she has a great relationship with her siblings and her mom, she has a best friend who'd do everything for her and they always spend all their free time together watching movies. Charlotte only has her toxic mother who will never accept that her daughter is any less than perfect. She is supposed to be a time-traveler, but also a perfect student with perfect grades, she has to learn the piano, dancing, etc... she basically gets no free time! And when it's time for her to have her first time-jump, it gets taken away from her, because her COUSIN, who never had to suffer through anything she had to, is the actual ruby. So the ONE THING she prepared her whole life for and which she actually enjoyed, is taken from her. So yes, of course she is pissed. Of course she is jealous. Of course she treats Gwendolyn badly! She feels like her life lost all it's purpose. I would be pissed too!
2) not only is the time-travelling taken away from her, but also the only real friend she ever had: Gideon. Ofc she has no time for friends with her tight schedule, so the only person she can really consider her friend, is the one she spent most of her time with, and that is Gideon. And suddenly your cousin, who already has a way easier life than yourself, comes in and takes your only real friend away from you and even starts dating him. I don't know if Charlotte ever had romantic feelings for Gideon. Probably yes, but even if not, Gideon is still her closest friend and now she has to watch him spending most of his time with Gwendolyn.
So yes, she behaves badly, but I think her behaviour is justified. Because despite of how 'perfect' and grown-up she has to behave, she is still a sixteen year old girl in the middle of puberty which is already the not easiest time to go through, and now she has to deal with all this sudden change! Why couldn't she have gotten a good heartfelt conversation with Gideon at some point, where they talk things out and where she had a change of behaviour towards Gwendolyn? You can say what you want about the movies, but one positive point of them was Charlotte. I hated her in the first two movies (her actress played her arrogant behaviour towards Gwendolyn very well too) but her suddenly smashing those guardians with her Krav Maga skill in the third movie and thus helping Gwendolyn was an amazing scene! And then seeing the two cousins becoming closer over time warms my heart! Book Charlotte deserved a redemption arc too. She deserved better than this embarrassing end.

Reseña: Rubí de Kerstin Gier (2009)
Tumblr media
No tengan miedo que los seudocientíficos obsesionados con el esoterismo y los fanáticos manipuladores de secretos no muerden.
Géneros: Novela, fantasía y ciencia ficción
Argumento:
Gwendolyn Sheperd, una estudiante de 16 años, pertenece a una familia noble y rica, a través de la cual se transmite un gen que le permite viajar en el tiempo. La adolescente espera con ansia el primer salto en el tiempo de su perfecta prima Charlotte, que ha heredado el gen. Pero tras experimentar dos saltos incontrolados a través del tiempo, su mejor amiga Leslie la convence para contárselo a su madre que la lleva a una organización secreta, llamada la logia del Conde de Saint Germain, y le explica que son los únicos que le pueden ayudar con los saltos del tiempo no controlados. Allí Gwendolyn es reconocida como la duodécima y última viajera del tiempo, el Rubí.
Tras registrar su sangre en el cronógrafo, máquina que permite controlar los viajes en el tiempo, conoce a Gideon de Villiers, también heredero del gen, que se convierte en su compañero de viajes.
Al día siguiente, Gwendolyn se entera de que su prima, Lucy y su compañero de viaje en el tiempo, Paul de Villiers, robaron el primer cronógrafo y se lo llevaron al pasado, por lo que ahora vuelven a necesitar la sangre de todos los viajeros en el tiempo para el segundo cronógrafo.
Con más preguntas que respuestas y con toda la logia desconfiando de ella Gwendolyn trata de entender el porque Paul y Lucy se robaron el cronógrafo, cual es la magia del cuervo, que quiere el conde, entre otras muchas preguntas.
Reseña:
Advertencia: comparo mucho el libro con la adaptación, la cual recomiendo.
Primero dire que amo que nos mostraran mas de la relación entre Paul y Lucy. Prefiero a Paul antes que a Gideon aunque no nos mostraran tanto de Paul.
Siento que aca Gwen y Gideon son más enemies to lovers que en las peliculas, aunque nunca me parecieron enemigos, solo que a Gideon no le caía bien Gwen al principio pero todos dicen que nos enemies por alguna razon que me perdí.
Ame que la autora se haya inventado libros para marcar los finales de capitulo con textos explicando cosas referente a los viajeros de esos libros.
Hay cliches como en todo pero no son tan molestos, porque además la mayoría de cliches pasa en la escuela donde no se desarrolla ni un cuarto del libro y no en todas las escenas en la escuela aparecen.
La relación de amistad de Gwen y Leslie es muy bonita y real.
Me hubiera gustado que participara mas la familia, mas interacciones con los hermano, la madre mas pendiente y cosas así que muestren mas contención familiar para variar.
Otra cosa que me gusta es que mencionan más información de los viajes en el tiempo ya que yo como friki agradezco saberlo TODO.
Hay cosas que no envejecieron bien como Gordon diciéndole marica a todos y la Mean Girl baboseándose por un profe de forma turbia pero todo con mente abierta se resuelve.
Hay muchas cosas que comparte con la peli, mas que nada algunas frases, y es mas graciosa que la peli pero no me gusta mas que la misma, quizás si hubiera sido ilustrada y pudiera ver los lugares, vestuarios y personajes y ya que están los viajes en el tiempo quedaría mejor una imagen del escenario en la época.
Calificación: 🌟🌟🌟🌟
