ruth despite years of friendship still doesnt understand half the anime references richie make
they made a silly short film once where ruth played all five characters and richie filmed it all
richie has dysautonomia and ruth has hypermobility and they met because they both got excused from doing gym and had to sit on the sidelines and write essays about each unit instead

ruth tried to get into anime for richie but couldn't get into it
they both love video games and often get games like It Takes Two to play together (they spend the whole time blaming each other for their own screwups)

richie has autism & social anxiety, ruth has BPD (richie is her FP) and GAD
ruth had a massive crush on grace when they were in middle school which richie used to tease her for all the time (the crush comes back when grace starts getting fed up with max and even though ruth never says it, richie can tell its back)
ruth is bisexual and richie is gay and they call themselves the skittle squad
they both read homestuck when they were in middle school, richie liked it but couldn't fully get into it, meanwhile homestuck has not left ruth's mind since middle school
richie goes to every show ruth works on even if she isnt on stage (he tries to encourage her every audition round to try out and she always says she will before she changes her mind last second)
