Ruby Gloom

You all know I love Emily The Strange & Lenore.

But one lady I really adore is Ruby Gloom.

We just got Netflix and the thing

 I am most excited about is

they have 3 seasons of Ruby Gloom.

Me and the kids have been watching 

episode after episode loving them.

They have the episode and

 then a cute little skit at the end.

And I have come to the conclusion if I were 

a character in a cartoon this would

be the one.

Meet Ruby

Ruby has earned her title of "The Happiest Girl in the World". Ruby is a girl who can find happiness in anything. "Look on the bright side" is a phrase she chants like a mantra, and it serves her well. There isn't a single thing in the world that gets her down or a single negative that she can't turn into a positive. Her positive attitude has been shown to be helpful, as it allows Ruby to act as the voice of reason in the mansion, while her friends tend to lose focus on real issues. Ruby also has a crush on Skull Boy, who is one of her friends. 

 and her friends 

Skull Boy

A man of many talents, 

Skull Boy is the mansion's official Jack of All Trades.

 From film directing to private investigating, 

Skull Boy can pretty much do it all.

 His only problem is that he can't seem to find one

 thing and stick to it for any serious length of time.

 But if Skull Boy doesn't know where he's going,

 it's mostly because he doesn't know where he's been.

There have been several moments that 

confirm that Ruby has a crush on him. 

Even though Skull Boy doesn't know 

where he is from, he has a family

 - his friends are his family.

 Scaredy Bat

Scaredy Bat is a bat with an Indian accent who is afraid of almost everything.

 Where Ruby finds happiness and Iris finds adventure, 

Scaredy Bat finds only fear. Despite being a bat, he's afraid of flying and is also afraid of the dark.

 He's also afraid of his own reflection.  

Scaredy Bat is the loyal and talented drummer of

 Frank and Len's band, R.I.P. When he is behind the kit,

 Scaredy Bat is a beat machine and forgets his fear. 

 Poe

 Poe live in an attached addition to the mansion.

Poe a man of culture and sophistication, likes to think of himself as a role model to the rest of the mansion's residents. Unfortunately, he tends to be a little too attached to his image and likes to cover up the parts of him that make him look like less than what he makes himself out to be.

 Mr. Buns

Mr. Buns is a stuffed rabbit that Ruby created from one of her leftover socks. 

The floppy, yet enigmatic Mr. Buns loves tea cozies and pretty 

much finds himself in the middle of almost all the action in the mansion. 

He also has a strange tendency to show up anywhere.

 Misery 

Misery doesn't mean to be a walking disaster area. 

Her mishaps are usually a combination 

of clumsiness and extraordinary bad luck.

She does have tiny moments of happiness throughout the series, 

but unless they're few and far between, her bad luck rears its ugly

 head and strikes her down with a vengeance, usually in the form of lightning bolts.

Frank & Len

Rockers by nature, these two teenage patchwork

 brothers live in the mansion's garage. 

They have their own garage band, known as R.I.P (pronounced "RIP"). 

Frank and Len's strength lies in performing music. 

Unfortunately, this seems to be all that is their strength, 

since they both tend to lose focus on anything that isn't their music. 

They can hardly focus on something if it doesn't have a beat.

Iris

 Iris goes through life without a care in the world.

Always seeking the next fun adventure.

 Iris's adventuresome nature also makes her quite impulsive

and she has a bad habit of jumping into a situation

 without considering potential consequences.

 This usually results in trouble she doesn't expect.

 However, as soon as the trouble is gone, she's off again on another adventure.

Doom Kitty 

As Ruby's pet cat, 

Doom Kitty has a complete free run of the mansion and

 is therefore usually the only one with total knowledge 

of what is going on in any given area of the house. 

This keeps her one step ahead of Ruby and the others most of the time, 

because whenever something strange happens in the mansion, 

Doom Kitty will usually have all the facts already while 

everyone else is still trying to figure things out. 

Unfortunately, since Doom Kitty can't talk, her only hope of communicating

 with the others is through mime with violin noises.

and

 Boo Boo

The mansion's ghost, 

Boo Boo sees it as his job to haunt. 

However, it's a little difficult for him to do that when everyone thinks he's cute 

Boo Boo enjoys pranking more than he enjoys scaring

The mansion in Gloomsville

In a Victorian mansion on the

 outskirts of Gloomsville

lives Ruby Gloom. 

Some kids might be afraid of the dark,

 the eccentric neighbors and the 

unknow things that dwell in the closet.

But Ruby is different- 

She befriends these strange and sometimes

scary creatures.

She finds them delightful.

Paying no attention to their

 appearances perceptive

only to their hearts and souls.

Ruby likes to point out

"Always look on the bright side-

 Unless of course the dark side

is your bright side and that is okay too!"

This is my favorite show.

Here watch the opening and you'll see why.

:Theme Song:

So today we're gonna

Take the time to show ya

The b-b-bright side of the dark side

And we think you outta

Know you really gotta

See the b-b-bright side of the dark side

Ruby Gloom

We're gonna show you why

There's more than meets the eye

The b-b-bright side of the dark side

And we think you outta

Know you really gotta

See the b-b-bright side of the dark side

Ruby Gloom

Ruby Gloom

Ruby Gloom is an animated series that was  on Canadian channel YTV based on a book series by the same name.

Now on Netflix!!! YAY!!!

Ruby Gloom is certainly adorable and love by all.

There is all sorts of Ruby Gloom merch.

But it is hard to find.

I luck out every once in awhile when thrifting.

And my rule if I see anything Ruby Gloom I buy it.

This show is defiantly a good one to watch,

Especially

if you look on the bright side of the dark side...
