~Important OOC Information~ - Please read "Important" if you wish to RP with Ruby! All information you need to know will be contained in there. - Also, read "Last Incarnation" if you'd like to know where she began her current incarnation. This is helpful if you want to roleplay with Ruby right from the beginning of her incarnation! - "First Incarnation" will just basically tell you about why she left Gallifrey, and how much she can ever remember. - Sidebar gif, icon, and "about" image are all created by me. Most gifs used here are not mine (because nobody got time for making a million gifs). If something's created by me, I'll tag the picture/gif with "mine". - Anything that you don't find in the bar directly below, will most likely be linked to in the "& more" section. If there's something you want to find that I don't seem to have shown, then you can message me and ask for the link. :3 Current M!A: None - Feel free to send me one!

Harry chuckled. “Nerdy, geeky, same difference.” He gave her a smile. “So what do you want to do? Continue one of our marathons? Sit and talk? Sit and read? Get food? all of the above?”

[lost-in-the-schism]

"Oh, all of the above sounds brilliant!" Was it even possible to do all of those at the same time? It may be a little difficult to concentrate her attention, of course. "But what should we do first?"

“Well, there’s tv and books and stuff like that, but it’ll take more than a day for those. And then history and people and places and food!!” There were so many things he wanted to show her!!

[lost-in-the-schism]

"That just means it'll take a long time for me to run out of new things to try!" She was almost like a child in that respect; she always wanted to learn and find out new information! "Everything's going to be so much fun to try too, I bet. I'm so excited!"

[harryspanglersolo]

“You mean it’s a geeky bachelor pad?” He looked over and matched her smile. “I’m glad you like it though.” He hoped she liked it enough to be there often.

[lost-in-the-schism]

Ruby giggled and shook her head. "No, more like a... Homely, nerdy- Uh... Base?" She couldn't help but giggle again. She wasn't very good at describing it at all. "It's certainly not geeky."

1 - 2 - 3 - 4, I declare a fic war!

What: Tumblr Fic War

Who: Anyone who reblogs this post.

When: Until everyone is actualfax dead, because this is WAR suckers!

Why: FEELINGS

What: Everyone who reblogs this post is opening their ask box up to the most brutal, feelings-inducing prompts anyone who is playing can imagine.  Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to take those prompts and DESTROY EVERYONE with them. Not just angsty stuff either, fluff can be just as bad, as many of you know!

“Well, this is the living slash dining room, over there’s the kitchenette.” He walked her to the other side where there were two doors. Opening one he said,”This is the bathroom.” He opened the other door, “And this is my bedroom. And that’s basically it.”

[lost-in-the-schism]

Ruby glanced around each room, her eyes flicking over whatever was displayed. By the end of the short tour, she was smiling happily once more. "I love what you've done with it; you've already made it into a home!" Something Ruby had yet to do with her own place.
