#ruby redfort headcanons

I had to do my part to help get #aromantic and #asexual trending on Valentine’s Day, and I’ll take any opportunity to push my aroace Ruby Redfort agenda.

I have no evidence except for general vibes and look how pretty the book 1, LIME cover looks with the aro pride flag?

(Also Clancy and Ruby are in a QPR for SURE!!!)

(For all the people who think she can’t be aroace because she’s 13, let me remind you that like any sexuality or queer identity, you don’t have to be an adult to figure it out :) let’s make space for aspec youth)

because we need more of these. 

this is all pretty random, it's just shit that comes to mind so bear with me. there isn’t really textual evidence for any of this, its purley based off vibes 

 The whole gang is rich, excluding Red, and she is absolutely baffled by their need for huge houses and will poke fun at them all the time.  

Mouse grows up to become a very well known screenwriter

Del is captain of every sports team there is, save for track, which she is definitely *not* bitter about

Elliot and Mouse are both really big nature lovers and big environmental activists

Red was the last one to make friends with the rest of them, she moved to after leaving her shitty dad in bumfack Nebaskra or something, her and her mum moved to Twinford when she was about 11 or 12. 

speaking of which: fuck Red’s dad. I don’t even think this is a headcanon. I think this is canon. 

anyway, Ruby, Clancy and Mouse are all friends from like, preschool or something. 

Elliot showed up in kindy, Del in like, fifth/sixth grade, then Red. 

Red’s mum is a cool mum™️

Del has several *interesting* stories from the few times she volunteered to watch over Bug while no one else could 

Everyone but Ruby and Clancy have this ongoing inside joke about all of the time Ruby has just gone MIA, avoiding them all, and Clancy starts acting real suspicious around the same time, and what they could be up to 

Red bakes to cheer everyone up 

Mouse and Red are avid tea drinkers 

Ruby went through a whole week of dressing as doll-like as possible, to appease her mother and get out of a bit of trouble, and none of her friends have ever let her forget it

Elliot and Clancy are avid birthday planners

They also frequently geek out about sci-fi stuff together 

When Mouse runs for class president (becuase you know she totally would) Ruby gets Hitch on board to come up with an elaborate plan to figure out how likely each candidate is to win and why, so she can help out Mouse a little, she deserves it. Ruby was feeling generous. Also she owed Mouse one. 

Del and Ruby are RIVALS when it comes to ping pong, no one but the other can beat them and they’re ALWAYS neck to neck 

Del will help patch up her friends if they’ve been hurt while skating, playing sport, in a fight, whatever, she’d gotten good at doing that for herself with all the sport and fighting she does 

Red is a very talented artist 

Clancy is the designated driver of the group once they turn sixteen 

He also has the house that's most frequently used for parties, sleepovers, etc on account of it being SO HUGE 

Red is constantly changing her hair 

Elliot will help her. no one knows why. he just does. 

Clancy is probably a renaissance faire nerd 

Ruby laughs at him for it but not as hard as Minny does
