To be a girl is to have niche interests that you hide from everyone in your life

i reread pick your poison earlier this week, and my favorite bits of these books are the 'ruby busts the case wide open while everybody stares at her' scenes. also, any excuse to draw blacker.

[Image description: A digital comic of a scene from Ruby Redfort: Pick your Poison. The style is very colourful with small doodles and blocks of colour in the background to fill up panel space.

Page 1: Ruby and Blacker enter a lab where Agent SJ is sitting. She smiles at them and asks, "More 'possibly poisoned' beverages?". Ruby responds while looking at the soda bottle she is holding, "Yeah. I mean... I doubt it is." Handing the bottle to SJ she continues, "Actually, I think the bottle contains some kind of code." SJ adjusts the goggles on her head with a questioning expression. The rest of the page is taken up by one large panel filled with doodles and arrows illustrating Ruby's train of thought as she says, "I think it's contained in the taste? Or rather, the flavours." In the background is a map of Twinford, drawing of a man drinking and a diagram of a plastic bottle. "When the guy sipped it, he seemed to be analysing it, trying to decipher what was in it... And once he figured it out, he wrote it down." Several arrows, flies and bubble-like circles float around the dialogue boxes. "Oh, yeah, and there's what's printed printed on the reverse of the label. You can see it through the liquid... FOUR GREAT TASTES SINCE 1922. I'm sure it means more than what it seems to mean, if you know what I mean?"

Page 2: The comic returns to individual square panels as Ruby's ramble comes to an end. Blacker and SJ stand in silence for a moment, looking at Ruby. She asks "...Am I rambling?", and Blacker scratches his head and smiles as he replies, "Only a little. But I follow you." Ruby says, "That's good," and then gestures, saying "So anyway, before I taste it for myself, I'd like to know for certain that one of the ingredients isn't toxic." (A label pointing to her states that she is "getting better at impulse control".) Blacker lets out a small laugh and SJ walks away holding the bottle, saying "Always wise." At the bottom of this page, under the panels is a row of two soda bottles and several science beakers labelled "salty","sweet", "bitter" and "sour". /End description]

(original scene under cut)

#ruby redfort #ruby #blacker #sj #my art #pick your poison #i probably could have picked a much more interesting scene to do an entire comic with #unfortunately i'm biased towards all of the cozy little moments in some obscure little spectrum lab. i like it when ruby and blacker chill #image described #thank you toad on discord for doing the ID!!!

Rainy evenings in Twinford ☂️🌧️🪰

[Image description: Digital fanart of the Ruby Redfort book series, featuring Ruby and Hitch standing in the rain.

Hitch is a dark-haired man vaguely resembling Gregory Peck, wearing a suit and smart overcoat. He holds an umbrella over Ruby and himself, and looks down at her carefully out of the corner of his eye.

Ruby is a teenage girl with brown hair, bright red glasses and 1970s clothes. She is tilting her head in curiosity and reaching one hand out from under the umbrella to feel the rain.

The next two images are close-ups of each face. /End description]

#umbrellas as a metaphor for protection. btw. if u even care #yipeeee :) I really enjoyed drawing this #A few small details I couldn't sneak into the image description neatly; droplets are falling on Hitch's right shoulder #because he's holding the umbrella over Ruby more than himself :-) but she is reaching out herself and still getting wet anyway #Bradley's watch + Hitch's fly barrette + Ruby's glasses are the same bright red... 🪰 also Hitch's tie is a desaturated red to match ♥️#ruby redfort #hitch #art hitchen zachery #I will never fucking get over that btw lmaooooo. ART HITCHEN ???#my art #toadtalks #lauren child #ruby redfort books #ruby redfort hitch #ruby n hitch

RUBY: Jeez louise, it feels like forever since we touched this question box. Hi! Did you miss us?

FROGHORN: I'll tell you what I didn't miss: hearing your incessant, irrelevant, and frankly dangerously illegal question-answering during work hours. Why don't you go break your governmental NDA on your own time?

RUBY: Because it's more fun doing it behind LB's back, obviously.

BLACKER: We've already established you live life on the edge, yes.

((WE'RE BACK! The coding team is back in business, at least for a little while - now with vastly improved art, and a refreshed obsession for the fandom! The rules for this rebooted ask blog are as follows:

No NSFW asks! This is a kid's book series, so we're going to try to stay clear of that sort of thing. Swearing is all right, though.

Canon relationships only - no asks about noncanon shipping. Don't expect too much romance out of this.

I reserve the right to just not answer any asks I don't have the energy/drive to reply to. If I haven't replied to an ask, that either means I'm slowly working on it, or I just don't feel like answering. Don't take it personally - feel free to ask something else in the meantime.

Please don't spam. See above.

I'm doing this blog for fun, and I have no idea how long I'll have the motivation to keep it up this time round. Just enjoy it while it lasts.

With all that out of the way... SEND IN THOSE QUESTIONS.))

since I found out TODAY that there IS a ruby redfort fandom and it has been my major obsession for the past TEN YEARS: my thoughts on some things I discovered and some additions I had already thought about!!

1. blacker being gay makes SO MUCH SENSE

2. froghorn crushing on him makes EVEN MORE SENSE

3. but I can’t decide between asexual froghorn and repressed gay froghorn with a lot of internalized homophobia

4. hitch being bi YES ABSOLUTELY

5. I do believe he was kinda the third person in bradley’s and loveday’s relationship, meaning that they were an item and hitch would join them when they all felt like it

6. I also believe both bradley and loveday are bi hehe

7. by the way, hitch DEFINITELY had a thing with valerie capaldi (which I’m crazy about based on the way he kills her and she’s FUCKING SURPRISED)

8. ruby is definitely not straight but i think she probably doesn’t fully know it yet. I also think she has a crush on del

9. clancy is on the asexual spectrum for me

10. oh also mouse and elliot give non-binary vibes to me

11. and del is definitely a raging lesbian, and i believe vapona begwell had a crush on her

12. red is definitely bi

I can’t think of anything else right now but I might be back. I’m SO HAPPY there’s a fandom and I’m not alone hehe

One of my goals for 2024 is to get more people involved in Fandom. I love the communities here on Tumblr & there are so many great & clever people on here who carry so much knowledge. However, that knowledge can & should be shared - at least in my opinion - & an easy way to do that is to get involved on Fandom & their wikis.

Now, I promise, it's not intimidating - if you can create & edit a Tumblr post, you can edit articles & pages on a wiki. Here, you can find an easy step-by-step guide on how to get started with contributing, but you can also message me & maybe I can help guide you through any question marks.

For this first post, I want to highlight some wikis dedicated to children's literature that need some help & love from their fans:

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - the pages linked here need to be expanded, so if you know something, don't be shy :)

Amelia's Notebooks - the pages linked here need to be expanded

The Blackwell Pages - all pages need to be expanded on

Bone - the pages linked here need to be expanded

Boxcar Children - links need to be added to these pages

Children of the Lamp - the pages linked here need to be expanded

Charlie Bone/The Children of the Red King - all pages need to be expanded on

The Chrestomanci Series - links need to be added to these pages

Emily of New Moon - the pages linked here need to be expanded

Endling - links need to be added to these pages

----

The Green Ember - the pages linked here need to be expanded

Howl's Moving Castle - all pages need to be expanded on

Jumanji - links need to be added to these pages

Little House on the Prairie - add links from IMDb, TV.com & TV Guide to each episode's page, plus the complete cast & crew for each episode

The Magic Thief - all pages need to be expanded on

The Magic Tree House - links need to be added to these pages

The Magisterium - the pages linked here need to be expanded

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children - the pages linked here need to be expanded

Night Speakers - the pages linked here need to be expanded

Ruby Redfort - the pages linked here need to be expanded

----

The School for Good and Evil - links need to be added to these pages

Septimus Heap - the pages linked here need to be expanded

The Sisters 8 - all pages need to be expanded on

The Three Investigators - links need to be added to these pages

Tom Sawyer/Huckleberry Finn - all pages need to be expanded on

The Underland Cyclopedia - the pages linked here need to be expanded

The Unwanteds Series - links need to be added to these pages

Warhorse - all pages need to be expanded on

Wonder - pages for the cast and crew of the Wonder film need to be added

Zathura - all pages need to be expanded on

Now, this is quite an extensive list, but if your favourite book or series isn't mentioned here, I suggest checking out the literature page, the book club or go to this page & simply search for your favourite book/series/author.

To repeat what I said at the beginning of this post, there is a step-by-step guide on how to start contributing, but don't be shy to message me if you have any questions :)

Tumblr is amazing y'all, all you gotta do is put the right words in the search bar and bam! You've found the fandom for the incredibly niche ya series you read as a kid, forgot about, and then became completely obsessed with years down the track.

My darling blorbos from the niche kids book series 🪰

[Image description: A short comic of Ruby and Hitch from the Ruby Redfort book series, featuring dialogue from the final book.

Hitch, a man in a suit with dark hair, looks down skeptically at Ruby and asks, "Just how old do you think I am?'. In the next panel, Ruby, a teenage girl with glasses, glaces up at him, saying nonchalantly, "I don't know, fifty-five... fifty-seven."

The next two panels are extremely wide shots, showing the two drawn as simple figures and standing in silence. Their speach bubbles only contain ellipses.

Hitch breaks the silence by saying "Kid, I'm forty-two."

The final panels zoom in again and Hitch turns away, looking exasperated. He continues "Boy, never ask a child to guess your age; they'll always have you pegged just shy of decrepit."

Ruby, affronted, follows him and replies "Didn't mean to offend." /End image description]
