Shoutout to Radiographers 📣 🙌 ❤️
I have come back to say
Gideon, MRI doesn’t use “x-ray thingies”, there is no radiation involved.
And they can hear you over the loud noises, there’s a microphone in the machine to hear patients. They probably just ignored you on purpose because they like to see you suffer 😔
As Celine Dion says, the heart will go on ✌️
as a kid i always liked how the footprints showed what animal/s our titular shapeshifter was going to be in that chapter
Running the Risk
The second book in the series starts in April and finishes in May of the same year.
It’s said that the children started showing their powers when they were 11/12, and it hasn’t been long Lisa is still 12.
If they’re eleven or twelve that would put them in year six or seven, stretched between the two separate English academic school years. Which it might be because there are the Teller brothers, Alex and Jacob, who aren’t twins and have at least an age gap of 9 months so are unlikely to be in the same school year.
If Lisa is 12 she’s in secondary school, year 7. And has done her SATs.
I’m going to say Mia is 11, in year 6 as she hasn’t done her SATs yet:
In this book we see that Dax & Gideon are in the same class as Lisa so maybe they’re in year 7, secondary school, too. Or maybe classes are mixed based on intelligence more than age which is uncommon but not impossible. I can’t remember if Mia was in their class too.
This is just based off of the second book in The Shapeshifter series, Running the Risk. I don’t know how right i am or how much sense i make, ive started rereading the series after yearsss. This may be me thinking too much into it its a kids book; as a kid i just assumed they were all in the same school year and left it at that.
“Don’t let Spook find out Dax can’t see glamour” lasted one book
Spook wants to be so special but really he can’t do anything physically, like shapeshift or telekinesis, and that might be an insecurity of his. He’s found out he’s powerless against Dax Jones, and now Dax isn’t hiding it 🏳️
“To me, you’re just an ordinary kid with no powers. Get over it.”
I thought the “taking it in turns to cry” bit was funny so took a pic… but then I remembered what happens to the Reader family later…
+ Dax looking out for his friend, genuinely 💙🦊👣🌖
After everyone in this book [Running the Risk] being tired all the time, and Dax (and Lisa) running his mind trying to figure out why, i say 🙌 SleepForDax 📣
Let Dax Sleep 🛌 !
Shoutout to Radiographers 📣 🙌 ❤️
My posts from the second book of The Shapeshifter series are tagged #runningtherisk with no spaces because when i looked up what was under the version with spaces (“running the risk”), lots of irrelevant things came up. There’s not much on tumblr from this fandom already.
It may already be a thing, to tag titles without spaces. Like “findingthefox”, “runningtherisk”, “goingtoground”, “dowsingthedead”, “stirringthestorm”.
Owen Hind 1 : Spencer Williams 0
“slap you into detention” caught me offf guard
^^ How All the Best Friendships Start
Dax teasing Owen
about drugging him XD
Gideon, doing maths: god, this is like putting lipstick on a fox
Lisa: umm, I'm pretty sure it's lipstick on a pig, besides, this isn't the right time for that expression anyway
Gideon, who definitely tried to put lipstick on Dax while he was a fox: nope, this is like putting lipstick on a fox
Dax waking up after the fox hunt trauma with Gideon in his bed “under his quilt” 🫶 bromance
I realise now Ali Sparkes probably meant Gideon was under Gideon’s quilt, not Dax’s quilt.
I like the idea of little Gideon staying close by his friend’s side in the night more though.
Hello! I hope I'm not bothering you, but I saw your Shapeshifter star signs (I'm an aquarius!) and was curious about how you made your choices? And if you have any headcannons about Jacob and Alex too that would be fantastic! Your headcanons are amazing!
“hi! so i know next to nothing (or believe in) astrology, so i picked this website at random and matched the descriptions to the characters.
aries - darren tyler
darren was pretty hard to place, but i really liked this quote from the aries description for him: “Remember, you don’t always have to be first and best. You can simply be you.” i thought that worked really well considering his powers in relation to spook’s and his interesting lack of an inferiority complex despite this.
taurus - dax jones
“Calm, collected and attractive on the outside, raging like a tempest in the inside, Taurus is the blacksmith shop of the soul.” this worked great for dax’s “inner volcano”, and it also talked about being possessive and a strong earth sign.
gemini - lisa hardman (me!)
admittedly, lisa was supposed to be a virgo, but i didn’t want to be jenny so i cheated a little. but it still worked, i think: “You need a diverse group of friends to stimulate the many sides of your mind. And you need to turn your nearly obsessive inner dialog into something creative.” just substitute “obsessive inner dialog” into “dead people yelling at you.”
cancer - barry blake
idk with this one, honestly, but the description talked about being both nurturing and cranky/moody, and that reminded me of barry (especially in relation to clive.)
leo - owen hind
“Selfless and hard-working”, and “for the most part those born under your sign take being ‘at the center of things’ as a responsibility rather than a privilege,” were the quotes i picked up for owen.
virgo - luke reader
is it weird that i didn’t make the twins geminis? but luke just is a virgo, according to this description. it was super accurate. the beginning especially: “Virgo is a mentally oriented, highly intelligent, nervous sign that needs to remember it’s made of the element earth. That’s another way of saying that your life is a constant process of translating from idea to reality and back.”
libra - jennifer troke
admittedly, i struggled with jenny. but she’s always seemed like a fair-minded individual who values her friends and seems to get more involved in romance than the rest of them, so, “you have a sense of fairness and equanimity that is alien to many people around you. Yours is also one of the primary signs associated with relationships and relating, which are important priorities for you.”
scorpio - mia cooper
it’s a “fiery water” sign. how could i not.
plus: “It’s healthy for you to let go; pay attention and you will figure out that jealousy is your best teacher.” that covers like, all of dowsing the dead.
sagittarius - gideon reader
this one just seemed right, even though the description wasn’t that great. “Your reputation for being a freewheeling devil-be-damned type is entirely true until we get to your rock-solid values, which can be traditional, cautious and even conservative.”
capricorn - spook williams
this one is a bit cliche, to be honest, because people like spook are always capricorns. plus “crispy on the outside and sensitive on the inside” made me laugh.
aquarius - jacob/alex teller
it’s a creative and intelligent sign, which works well for the brohters, but there was also this which i found really interesting: “You seek both individuality and group identification, but lean more toward the first, which is a good thing: only an individual can be part of a group.”
pisces - clive smith
this seemed to describe a very well-balanced and logical person, which is perfect for clive. and it’s important that he is a balance for the colas (which i love). “The last sign of the zodiac embodies the idea that the world is created by opposite energies that compliment and balance one another.”
hope that made sense! let me know if you have any different ideas :)
