#grandmother clock

[green5quirrel]

TL;DR: I think Monroe's striking and chiming clocks were underutilized for truly hilarious interruptions when the hour strikes and 5 or so clocks announce it in sync.

I think we've all looked over a very important detail in Nick having stayed over at Monroe's for a time. I feel like I REALLY want someone to explore this in a fanfiction of some sort.

Monroe has several "striking" clocks in his house. A striking clock (or just clock for those who differentiate clocks as striking and timepieces as non-striking) makes sounds every hour, half hour, or can chime every quarter hour depending on the number of mechanisms.

Monroe obviously has a grandfather clock (or grandmother clock as I'm not sure the height of it) thanks to him telling Hap not to touch it. So that is definitely a striking and chime clock. Or has the potential to be as such if it's not silenced. He also has potentially more than one cuckoo clock.

Can you imagine the absolute terror of a person who has never been in a house with more than one striking clock as it hits the hour or half hour for the first time.

Now, ideally Monroe will have silenced most of his clocks. I don't know. I don't have any working clocks. I don't know how most horologists do things at their private homes. If they find the striking nostalgic or welcomed. But let's err on the side that Monroe has been living alone for a long time and actually does find a few chimes and striking nostalgic after growing up with it as his dad seemed to also be into clocks.

Let's layer this with the fact that Nick has very sensitive hearing (though I'm not sure when that happens. I could have my timelines wrong). Despite that, you're just getting to sleep at around 11pm or midnight and for some reason have been oblivious to or accepting of the chimes during the day. Or this is your first night in your friend, Monroe's, house and suddenly the first floor below you erupts in various chimes and tunes.

Can you imagine?!

I'm actually kind of astounded that this was never properly explored in the. In not one scene does any of Monroe's clocks strike despite how long everyone is at his house. I mean, if I had clocks I'd at least appreciate one of them striking.

The point is, I really want to either write or read a fanfiction where either Rosalee or Nick or Hank experiences the sound of an hour in the most unexpected way and grumpily complains to a completely and adorably oblivious Monroe.

(It would also have been a great gag if in the middle of a dramatic conversation it struck the top of the hour and Monroe patiently waits for his clocks to sound off before continuing. And Nick/whoever he's talking to is just like "Seriously dude?" And he's like, "What? ...fine! I'll silence them. Jeez! I didn't ask you to be here anyway, man!")

Finally, it happened

I created my first dhmis oc ever, i am not lying this is actually my first dhmis oc

Say hello to Ruth, The Grandmother Clock

She is a short lady (5'2ft tall)

If she likes you, she will make you a cinnamon or Butterscotch pie/ref

She gives motherly love to everyone she meets

She's really nice to everyone, she doesn't even attempt to hurt the main trio!

She's married and has four lovely children

She's 77 years old

She likes to always look her best

She's elegant, stubbornness is her middle name and she will roast you if you make her angry.

She likes to crack random jokes, her specialty is dark/dry humor at the worst moments, her husband "scolds" her constantly for that but she knows he enjoyed the joke too at least.

Getting her angry is hard to accomplish, so if you get her to get actually upset. Prepare to see your self esteem and confidence die burned on the floor.

She never swears, she can insult you without needing to use such an inappropriate language! After all, it would be improper for a lady to do so.

She's a housewife but doesn't mind to act as a substitute teacher for Tony or her dear friend Mr.Choo Choo

She adores black tea with milk and two cubes of sugar, thank you very much.

She's a menace but a sweetheart at the same time, she likes to spoil her grandchildren/younger members of her family with pastries, candy or money. She loves to see their smiles when she does that.

So, this is Ruth! It took me ages to find the right type of grandmother clock for her but it was harder to find the right name for her. I wanted her to have a good name that would show her as a stubborn and funny lady at first but once you see her, she's a funny and stubborn and an elegant lady.

It was kinda difficult to make her personality too, her personality is mostly based on my grandmother's but Ruth's is more onto the menace and funny side than my grandma's. I wanted her to be that nice lady you can find on the street on her way to the market every once in a while have a nice conversation + advice and be happy the rest of the day just for having an encounter with her

sorry for telling you all about my personal philosophies on life and how that ties into the art form that is the apartment i built in my head, do you still think i’m hot

#currently running my hands across the green velvet couch and leaning my head against the pillows to look up at the small vintage chandelier #above me. btw #not like. in real life. in my head yk? this place is not real but it is so real to me and i can tell you about each and every corner of it #the roll top desk and the wall of clocks and the worn leather chair and the fireplace pokers and my grandmother’s grandfather clock and the #copper hammered pots and the paintings framed on the walls and the butcher block counter tops and the rose sheets and the black china #cabinet and the colonial styled chairs and the farm painting above the dining table and the vanity table and the tile and the kitchen #curtains and the bay window and the stained glass and the deep wood floors and—

cats will knock anything and everything off a shelf/nightstand/desk and then just stare blankly at you as if they’re challenging you to do something about it

#why are you knocking the stack of mail I left for my roommate all over the ground #why are you doing your little tap tap tap on my phone until it lands on the floor #why are you breaking the ceramic chicken clock my dead grandmother got me #so many questions #and i’ll never get the answer :/

i wanna smoke weed so bad but our house is literally across the street from a church thats in full session right now and i dont want a bunch of church goers and their kids smelling the smoke id feel so bad 😭 but damn i wanna smoke weed

#living next door to a church is interesting #every 15 minutes these church bells go off i guess to let the neighborhood know that 15 minutes have passed #at 11:45 every day they play this song over their intercoms for the neighborhood to hear #it is im not kidding 10 entire minutes of bells ringing in a pleasant tune #TEN MINUTES. it doesnt sound bad and tbh you cant even hear it when youre inside w the tv on #its just funny to me like why does it play for ten minutes straight #im a devout atheist but even i am not immune to the pleasant sound of a bell #actually the bell that rings in 15 min intervals sounds exactly like the song my grandmother’s old clock would play every hour #it was this cool antique grandfather clock. i barely remember it bc she died when i was very young but i remember that sound #kinda nostalgic tbh. you win this round church #still a devout atheist though

god the duality between 'I don't want someone in my house' and 'yeah I'd like my own kids and no way I'm doing that alone'

#like ppl who don't want kids should be free to live their lives without ppl being like 'watch out! your biological clock is ticking!' #that's bullshit ppl shouldn't say that. but also. i would like kids and #after so many years trying not to get pregnant and that seeming like a worst case scenario. so desperately wanting to not become my parents #now i am an age where I'd happily have a kid if i were in the right life situation & i don't feel I've got all the time in the world anymore #lol like. the space in between 'too young to have a baby' and 'old enough that i risk more health issues/ will be an older parent' #feels way way narrower than i ever would have assumed lol. esp. because all the parents in my family are so young. the idea of being an #older parent is so strange to me. I'm so aware of the things you can't do when you're older and how it's harder work to run after them #and like my body is already wearing out way faster than anyone elses. my health's only gonna get worse so. #being an older parent just doesn't seem an option. not to mention like. the older i am the less generations I'll get to see. #i want to be a great grandmother damnit. lol. #like I'm on a clock. to get over my commitment issues or it legit won't happen. but yeah. can't think of anything worse than having #to have someone in my house. if i was rich enough to have lots of space that's one thing but. I'm not lol. #and rich ppl rub me up the wrong way whenever they try and chat me up so doubt I'm gonna marry in to money looool #like i have come to terms with the fact that. if it doesn't happen it doesn't happen. id rather not get to be a mother than to settle #like that whole 'looking for a partner' dating life is not for me i can't think of anything worse. if it happens it happens #I'll either meet the right person who im willing to give up an empty house for or i won't looool #and it's not like im giving up the whole raising kids thing completely. #like I've got to play a significant hand in raising my siblings even if i didn't ask for that. I've got to see them grow and #help them reach those milestones. and whatever the circumstances I'm blessed to have had them in my life #even if i don't have my own kids I'm always gonna have kids in my life even if I'm an aunt rather than grandmother you know #I'm lucky to be in a family where raising kids is a communal thing. but yeah id love to have my own kids & have someone that looks like me #but I'm not willing to bring someone in to the world in non opportune circumstances deliberately. #like if it's up to me i want them to have 2 parents to look out for them and 2 parents that at least stand a chance of liking each other lol

“Elsa's eyes open wide when she sees him, and then she looks at Alf's flat. At the radio. Because there's no coincidence in fairy tales. And there's a Russian playwright who once said that if there's a pistol hanging on the wall in the first act, it has to be fired before the last act is over. Elsa knows that. And those who can't understand by now how Elsa understands things like that just haven't been paying attention. So Elsa understands that the whole thing with the radio and the accident on the highway must have something to do with the fairy tale they're in.” - My Grandmother Asked Me To Tell You She’s Sorry, pg. 323

Re-reading My Grandmother Asked Me To Tell You She’s Sorry and I did not remember how meta this was for Fredrik Backman’s storytelling in general or how a character literally brings up and then subverts the Chekhov’s gun principle. This is maybe particularly vindicating for me and the essay about Chekhov’s gun in The Winners that I haven’t written (which mostly sums up to the first gun you see seems to already serve its narrative purpose up until it’s the one fired last).

#fredrik backman #my grandmother asked me to tell you she's sorry #i may have yelled and scrambled for my post-its to mark the page lol #all his novels are variations on the themes of grief and survivors and relationships #and unlikely heroes and what it means to be different etc etc #but on my first read i linked how writing ove could lead to britt-marie #and how writing britt-marie could lead to beartown #but somehow failed to clock the fairy tale of it all in mgamttyss linking to… well everything #also #thinking thoughts about ‘and one could say it's right and one could say it's wrong. and probably both would be right’ #because i love you stories with satisfying endings that also acknowledge the questions with no real answers #also also #thinking thoughts about boy best friends bonded though everything #by something they share with no one else #until one brings a whole lot of trauma for everyone
