Everyday I’m amazed at how Lauren Child managed to create such a likable character as MOUSE HUXTABLE while still making her such a minor part of the story with almost no contribution to the plot-
I love Mouse, you love Mouse, we love Mouse, etc
del/ruby headcanon that del gives ruby her varsity jacket to wear in high school and ruby wears it ALL THE TIME
a creature can be a girl. …..And! as well, a girl can be a creature
Wtf are Lucas and Eddie doing in the background? I cannot stop wheezing 😭
rr asks- 3 & 5 hitch
3) A song that reminds me of them: I think Rootless, by Marina. He doesn't have that many continual connections to people, and he mentions he doesn't usually stay in one place for very long. we also know so little of his backstory, he really is rootless lol. it's also a super good song, and I love this question :)
5) My favorite ship of them: idk, I can't think of heaps of other characters to ship him with tbh. maybe blacker, since hitch is pretty well organised and put together, while blacker is just not, I think it would be fun, like an opposites attract thing
okay okay okay very important post here guys, so I started rereading bayd today bc I remember NOTHING from the first time I read it, and I’ve never actually finished pyp, so can someone summarise the last half of pyp please and thank u :)
The Court Wizard and His Apprentice (it's his first day, be nice.)

I think this is the furthest thing from rr I could be posting but you all need to know how much I love michaela deprince
Michaela DePrince in Swan Lake

Hitch at the end of FTF:
hi!! for the character ask game, how about 28 + 11 for ruby, and/or 7 + 26 for hitch?
ahh yay!!
ruby:
11) What’s the first thing you think about when thinking about the character? a very stereotypically 70s looking ruby smartassing everyone she encounters. her doing everything she possibly can, all the time. banana milk
28) The most unnecessary thing they ever did? I mean if we're speaking literally then everything she did tbh, she was just going out of her way to do exactly what she was told to NOT do, but specifically?? maybe when she took Archie out with her to like, fight crime. like either leave the lemon at home or wait an hour its not that hard 😭
hitch:
7) A quote of them that you remember: i had to get my books out for this lol, i'm bad at remembering quotes. probably when he tells clancy to 'cut the churchboy act,' or something like in look into my eyes, when clancy is trying so hard to not ray ruby out. idk i just think its funny.
26) When do you think they were being "themselves" the most? I think when he's protecting ruby. like obviously he's pissed at her bc she's being stupid again, but he also like, cares for her?? he's a caring person and you can really see it in these moments, with these different aspects of his personality getting all wrapped up yk
