Think I'll step away from this thread for a bit, the in-depth talk about her ED, dissecting her every motive is more triggering for me than Ruby's actual food content See you on the flip side when Ruby does something interesting or shocking enough to comment on

we are all jealous bullies

Ruby Granger #25 hidden ads, nothing to eat, sugarplum fairy, rinse repeat

I think we should stop for a moment and reflect.

Go to a college or university. There we have loads of people her age. How many people are doing cartwheels and walkovers outside on the quad? Zero. Nilch. You will find them walking to classes or sitting with other students having intellectual conversations, chilling out, going to the library, reading their mail, doing homework, studying. Now, if she were on scholarship or on the university gymnastic team, she would be flipping in the gym, with her fellow teammates. But she isn't. She is in her backyard playing like a little girl. And, for some bizarre reason, feels the need to share it with the world via social media, probably thinking she is really good so let's brag about it. If she is so good, why isn't she on the team. Whatever happened to being in the trampoline group she joined in first year? Did she find out everyone else was better than her so left? I chose to stop doing gymnastics beyond 17, in spite of having been on my High School team. I was ready to move on to more adult themed pursuits, like running after classes with fellow students, skiing and playing tennis with fellow co-workers on weekends. I was not unhappy moving on, it is part of life. It is growing up and finding new exciting things to do and not have some desperate need to look back into the past with regret of aging or feeling as though you are leaving your best years behind. When it comes to growing up, Ruby is pretty famous for putting on the breaks! Life is good and full of opportunities. Embrace it. If you spend all your time looking back, the present will pass you by before you even dipped your toes in it. You can't get it back.

lmao what the fuck kinda uni did you go to?? Fair enough if you find her gymnastics cringe (though I'm on the side of, if you enjoy something who cares, do it anyway), but this is just a wildly inaccurate portrayal of university. Skiing and tennis on weekends? You went to uni and immediately became 30 and middle class?? Admittedly Ruby is probably from the kind of family that does go skiing, but honestly in the UK it's a hobby that most students certainly can't afford to do. And seriously, you will not find students "walking to classes or sitting with other students having intellectual conversations, chilling out, going to the library, reading their mail, doing homework, studying" constantly. Reading their mail??? I got hardly any post during my degree, what the fuck? In the UK you're more likely to find them in the fucking pub. Intellectual conversations?? Sometimes sure, but not round every corner. This reads like the kind of student experience Ruby was hoping for, before arriving and realising it's actually a bunch of teenagers finally living away from home, drinking and shagging as much as possible. That's not the universal student experience, of course, but it's pretty standard in the UK. I agree that Ruby obviously has issues around growing up, and doing gymnastics may be a sign of them, but one of my flatmates (age 20) still does gymnastics regularly just because it's fun. She doesn't compete, but it's a great way of keeping your body healthy (obvs not combined with an ED), and she really enjoys doing it. There's nothing wrong with that whatsoever.

I mean, at least this one isn't over an hour long...

Study With Me (& stress about essays!)

Ruby was so busy stressing about essays (and running her now-annual charity swindles) that she once again forgot how capitalisation works.

She kicks things off with some obligatory firestarting.



"of course i'm lighting a candle"

There's no "haha!" on her on-screen comment this time, setting a foreboding, low-effort tone. Stressing over her essays while awash in a sea of ongoing, self-caused controversy, Ruby's struggling to be bothered. As her old pal Dumbledore said:



Predictably, Ruby went for the easy option and put no effort into this video, once again.

Thanks to some editing incompetence magic, Ruby's bed starts unmade, instantly makes itself and then is unmade and Ruby has to make it again.





I say "makes" the bed, but this is the usual Ruby standard of just half-assedly straightening her duvet to cover the sheets - all bedding has not been changed in like a month or two, if you believe Ruby's timescales for this and other videos.

Ruby is dressed in her Year 6 primary school cosplay of a dark skirt, white polo shirt (unironed), and a jumper thrown on top. She's chosen her NASA sweatshirt, because when it comes to scamming charity money, Ruby reaches for the stars and her lack of integrity is astronomical!



She lets us know that she's working on a Dickens essay for the module that she's been doing since climbing out of the womb, it feels like. It's worth a whopping "FIFTY PRUH-CENT" of her grade, so the stakes have never been higher!

She launches into some time-lapse footage of a clock, to showcase that time marches unyieldingly onward even if Ruby stagnates and refuses to grow up. It doesn't, however, prove that she's actually writing an essay, just that she's using her laptop for hours. Impressive stuff indeed!

Ruby says that she's "just doing finishing touches", which she says for her is "always the longest part of the ASS-ay writing process". Which makes sense; if you're relying heavily on the thoughts, ideas and quotes of other students, tutors and critical essays, then your sole contribution to the essay is "finishing touches" and it's going to be longer that all the nothing you do otherwise.

OH NO, TECHNICAL ISSUES!

"My camera ran out of charge while it was time-lapsing..." Ruby moans. Even though it was sat on her desk, indoors, right next to a power socket, and could've easily been charging while filming.


After her "food" break of 20 minutes, which Ruby brags that she needed after three whole hours of working on her "ASS-ay", she says she's going to get started on the second half. I'm not sure how/why master essay-crafter Rubert would need six hours to "put the finishing touches" on a completed "ASS-ay", but whatever.

She says her secret weapon for finishing off this masterpiece is to "make a flow chart" of the argument to make sure it make logical sense. Which seems like the kind of thing she should've done before she (allegedly) wrote the entire fucking essay. It's a bit like drawing up the blueprints for a building after you've shoddily cobbled it together and it's collapsed onto a Krispy Kreme, killing everyone inside.

Flow charts and mind maps also seem to be the only creative tools she can use, regardless of how inappropriate they are for the task at hand.



She slaps some on-screen text up. The word "pumpkin" should not be capitalised, so either she's an idiot who can't figure out capital letters in her final year of an English Lit degree, or she's an idiot who's trying to insert subliminal advertising in for her failing company. Either way: Idiocy confirmed.

"One of my New Year's resolutions is to learn something new once a day JUST FOR ME!" Ruby says.



It's JUST FOR HER. And yet she made sure to point a clock that she can't see at the camera so that a hundred thousand viewers can see exactly how long she claims to have spent on this task. Ruby, it's not "LEARNING FOR THE SAKE OF LEARNING" if you have to show off how long you toiled away on NON-ESSENTIAL STUDY in order to gain some kind of egotistical satisfaction from your performative bullshit.

After stressing that this is JUST FOR HER, she casually says that this is actually research for TODAY'S SPECIAL SPONSOR!

This video is sponsored by On The Edge, who raise awareness for conservation of animals on the endangered species list. Also endangered: Ruby's career prospects.

Ruby offers up more of her robotic, fake-smiling narration as she shows some half-assed "educational" facts supplied by OTE/Wikipedia.



Ruby interrupts her sponsored ad segment to gaslight the audience.

"There sometimes can be some confusion around sponsorships and how they works," Ruby claims.

Yes, Ruby, evidently there can. You often seem wilfully confused that you're supposed to declare ads, gifted products and products with which you have personal or business ties.

So we get gift guide videos full of products which you neglect to mention were gifted.

We get multiple undeclared ads for books written by people represented by the same management agency as you.

We get you intentionally trying to obfuscate these things by putting the required 'AD' marker in as small a text as possible.

Everyone else seems pretty clear about sponsorship rules and how you don't follow them.

"Legally I HAVE to list this video as an AD because I've been talking with them about the campaign, and so according to the ASA...I HAVE to declare it an ad," she claims.

Griftwood said:

Yeah, she’s lying. Twenty seconds on the google machine reveals there’s control AND payment if it’s declared an ad. She’s such a blatant liar, I can’t even.
View attachment 1018279

As Griftwood points out, this simply isn't true. Ruby only has to declare it as an ad if she's both getting paid and the sponsor partner has some level of control or approval over the content.

So, yes, Ruby, there is some confusion. And it's all from you. That or you're lying your ass off and got paid for this.

This whole section of the video reeks of "Ruby doth protest too much" energy. And given her storied history of compulsive lies in general and where ads and charity money are concerned, this whole thing screams that she's lying through her teeth.

And the big question remains, Ruby: Why do you only do anything charity-related if there's some kind of sponsorship deal or potential payment involved?

Ruby finishes lying about her sponsorship agreement and stressing that she got NO SPONSOR MONEY for this video.

It's also monetised, so what's happening with that cash, Ruby?



She says that she wants to have her "ASS-ay" done by the end of the day even though it's not due until the Thursday. She thought she'd have it done by now, but she's just NOT HAPPY with it at all. Since Ruby puts precious little of her own work into her "ASS-ays", I can only assume she's stressing that Blakeney and her tutors are not responding promptly to her thinly-veiled email requests for essay ideas.

Ruby says "JAN-UINELY" a lot, so she's likely lying about something.



To take a break from being ghosted by all the people she relies on to do her homework for her, she takes the dog out, films herself walking it 15 feet, turning around, then returning.



She adds on-screen text to say, "it was muddier than we were expecting..."

It looks cloudy as fuck, has clearly been raining and quite literally every time she walks the dog at home. And she always makes every effort to walk directly in the mud.

A quick science lesson for Ruby:

Soil + Rain = MUD

Please conduct further research on this in your own time and sent your findings to:

[email protected]

Ruby twirls outside and rambles about how "STRASSED" but also SMILEY and CAREFREE and GRATEFUL she is, presumably because she checked her bank account and saw that more charity money had cleared.



After her muddy walk, it's time for more time-lapse filler footage. But she forgot the clock for most of it, so this doesn't count to her official productivity time, sorry Rubes!

She mentions she uses yet another note-taking browser extension, which makes it about 793 billion different note-taking methods she has that all serve the same purpose. Her tutors don't call her Redundant Ruby for nothing! Actually, they call her something much different, but it's probably not nice to use the C-word in polite company.

Ruby says the "ASS-ay" is a total mess, so she's going to take a whole 10 minute break, because that's definitely gonna be enough to make any kind of difference.

Of course, she proposes spending this break doing bad yoga after eating nothing all day. Good plan, Ruby! That's a great way to help your brain and body not collapse!

She doesn't appear to take any break after all, and we're subjected to yet more time-lapse footage of clocks ticking, reminding us again that time is passing by like sand through an hourglass and for some reason I'm spending it being assaulted by Ruby's persistent stupidity and incompetence.



And then a new day dawns. Ruby has "BRACKFAST", which consists of her usual nothing, and plans her day in her "PONKIN PRODUCTIVITEE PLANNER".

Then, yet more time-lapse footage of clocks as Ruby says she's still working on that "ASS-ay" that's taken up most of her adult life at this point.

Although, she's clearly to talking to someone on her laptop while annotating her essay, so Blakeney's obviously carrying Ruby's dumb, lazy ass, yet again.



That doesn't explain the bad audio quality and editing in every single video, Ruby!

After what feels like the 514th outfit change in ten minutes, Ruby struggles to remember what time she's supposed to be pretending it is.

"Oiy'm gyowing to try to get awl moiy figures done boiyy SSSSRRRRUFOIVE TYOO," she says, combining several different times into one new temporal convergence of stupidity.

Then more time-lapse footage. Good lord.

So...remember this?


Ruby tossed together an irrelevant, half-assed Dickens-themed escape room for one of her uni assignments and begged all her followers to go follow the Instagram page for it. This clearly served no purpose other than to weaponize her fanbase to gain an unfair advantage on an assignment; her promotional Instagram should have stood on its own and attracted followers on its own merits.

Nobody should've known it had any relation to Ruby aside from Ruby and the tutor. Her making it public was a shady tactic clearly meant to game the system in her favour, and I said at the time that it was all but guaranteed that she would tout this follower count to her tutor as a sign of her project's success, even though it didn't attract a single follower on its own merits. Not one of those followers would've found the page and followed it if influencer Ruby hadn't asked them to.

If you wanted proof that that's exactly what she did, Ruby accidentally reveals it in her time-lapse:





What a piece of shit.

So then Ruby copies all the quotes and references she's amassed on Notion. She mentions that she has "A LOT" of references, raising her eyebrows and beaming with smug pride and fake freckles.



Yeah, no shit, Ruby; 99% of your essay is borrowed material. That's not a good thing.

She complains that she finds it hard because she has to alphabetise her references manually and drag them around to reorder them in Notion.

"Notion" being the key word. Ruby, the dumb fuckwit that she is, keeps using Notion for everything, even things it's not designed for. Word processors pretty much all have the ability to alphabetise things like this for you.

She goes on to advertise a 'Veganz' snack bar thing, which given her history of undeclared ads for similar snack bars she was gifted, combined with her now-trademark "I look like I'm eating a wet, mouldy sock, but I was paid for this, so MMmmMmm, highly recommended!" face:



...this is likely gifted as well.

And keeping the ad train rolling, Ruby shows off her new gifted phone cases from Casetify, to replace her old gifted PETA-brand phone case (another partnership which she lied a whole lot about).

This fucking video is 50% time-lapse, 50% ads.



She goes on a bike ride, aiming for the craggiest mud tracks and nearly falling off, then starts rambling incoherently:

"Some um, I, like, a voice recording of some BAHHDS that I want to use for a piece of con-TANT I'm creating SYO I'm here at this pretty woodLANDDD. I just cycle down."

If you listen closely, you can hear the birds' "voices" saying, "FUCK OFF, RUBY, DON'T PUT US IN YOUR SHITTY CONTENT!", "DID YOU GIVE UNICEF THEIR MONEY YET!?" and "SHOW THE HMD RECEIPTS!" Nature is truly magical.



Ruby gets home and narrowly avoids falling out of her bedroom window recording birdsong for some reason, because teetering out a 1st story window is always a good idea when you're malnourished, have no hand-eye coordination and are generally dumb as a sack of rocks.

She mentions she has a 24 hour exam coming up, but isn't worried because she's totally prepared. Which is a lot like that time she claimed to have done all the required reading over the summer and then clearly left it until the last minute and just Sparknotesed that shit like always.



We're subjected to a weird, nightmarish image of Ruby's hair dangling at the camera like some grimy, ghostly hair-demon from The Grudge or something.



After going for tennis with her dad, they play in the dark because these geniuses (who likely pay for private tennis sessions) couldn't either turn the court lights on or summon the mental faculties to ask a member of staff to do it. Evidently staff just saw these two dumbasses whacking balls blindly in the dark and "VARRY KOINDLY" switched them on unrequested.

And then it's more of the same old bullshit. Time-lapse of clocks. Face masks. Letter writing. Insubstantial "food" in a bowl.

Ruby interrupts this deja-vu crap - she's suddenly realised she got feedback for her 'Life & Death' module!

"OIY....wahked hahder on this ASS-ay than oiy've avah wahked on an ASS-ay, WHICH IS ACKSHUALLY SAYINGSOMETHINGASWELL," she grins smugly.

Well, yeah. YOU don't really work on any of your essays. The good folks at Sparknotes, Blakeney, your tutors and the writers of countless critical essays are to thank for the entirety of your essays. You just Frankenstein it together at the last minute after weeks of time-wasting busywork and scamming cash from charities and your customers.



Ruby, for the first time ever, is genuinely happy for someone else. Blakeney's hard work earned an 80 on this essay. It's just a shame Ruby attached her name to it.

If your opinion of Exeter University's grading standards weren't already so low they were subterranean, this will probably do it.

Ruby follows this up with yet more time-lapse footage, this time of her cribbing massive sections of text and copying it into Notion for a Chaste Maid in Cheapside essay.

Finally, the video comes to a close with, well, yet more time-lapse footage of clocks.



This time, Ruby's dressed like everyone's least-favourite dress-up doll: Mentally-Defective Tory Barbie.

Just when you think the nightmare is over, Ruby pops up out of nowhere like a slasher movie villain coming back from the dead to pop out of a closet.

Interrupting her video again, she shrieks, "THEN! ACKSUALLY IN THE EVENING oiy was gyoing tyoo seee SAHHK DOOSELL-AY!"

Cirque Du Soleil, Ruby. Sweet fucking Jesus.

Was looking at Instagram on the bus and for a brief, terrible moment I thought I had fallen into some alternate universe where Jade and Jack are married and have a kid and that kid is Ruby. I mean, just look at them-


Ruby gives off shy child vibes here, convince me otherwise

Maybe Ruby doesn't eat because of her new drug addiction

I feel a little bit sad for her after her latest video. She was doing so well at uni, she was independent, making much more relatable and mature content and genuinely seemed like a young woman in her early twenties. I cannot believe she's gone back to making videos playing pretend at home, literally putting on costumes and walking about pretending to be a victorian scullery maid, it feels like she's fifteen again making Hermione Granger videos. Also there's the obvious issue of this literally being an upper-middle class woman walking around her million pound country house just outside London and pretending to be working class, a lot of the video seemed like 'look at my original cast iron fireplace and my aga and these wooden shutters we have'.

Helping out the algorithm

two types of reviews lmfao

"I Read 7 Books in A Day"



Ruby: "Obviously there is so much disparity between books... it's just not useful to compare numbers when people are reading different kinds of books. For example, there is no way I could have read a Bronte book as part of this readathon in a single day "

No, Ruby, there's so much disparity between what you're claiming to have accomplished (reading 7 books in a single day) and what actually happened (you didn't even remotely do that.) You don't then get to humblebrag that not everyone can be as great as you because everyone's reading ability/choices are different. I could be a record-breaking mountain climber if I just changed the definition of what constitutes a mountain to be "a very tiny mound of dirt" and then gave myself a trophy for merely stepping near it. That's not how the world works though. You don't get to say "I read the complete Lord of the Rings in 10 minutes!" because you read the first page of each book. I believe that's the dictionary definition of...(looks it up in the dictionary)...lying! Hey, I read one word in the dictionary! I guess that means I read the whole thing! Go me!

This is just lies. Clickbait. Imagine if a sponsor came to you and said "We want to pay you £100,000 to advertise this nice hat." Then the package arrived, and it wasn't a nice hat, it was an ugly scarf. The sponsor says "Yep, that's exactly as advertised. Hats are worn in fairly close proximity to scarves, after all." You wear the scarf once for Instagram, claim it's the greatest scarf in the history of knitwear and you'll never take it off, then you shove it in a drawer and never speak of it again. But when the payment comes through, it's only for £100. The sponsor says, "No, that's right. We only paid you every thousandth pound, but that's still a loose approximation of the full £100,000." You'd feel cheated, right? That's exactly what you're delivering when you title a video "READING 7 BOOKS IN A DAY (cosy university readathon)" and it features you specifically not reading 7 whole books and also does not feature anything related to university.

It's a lie. Stop doing it. Why couldn't you just call it something accurate? Just "I read all day" or "A Summer Readathon Vlog" would have been more accurate. But you just have to give yourself the self-important ego boost of claiming to have accomplished more than you did.

"This book is very nostalgic for the kinds of books I read when I was younger." Oh, the nonsensical sentences! People are nostalgic for the kind of books they read when they were younger, Ruby. Inanimate objects aren't nostalgic for anything. I think you meant to say "This book is reminiscent of the books I'm nostalgic for" but honestly, with the word soup that comes out of your mouth, you could just as likely been trying to give directions to the nearest cobblers and I'd be none the wiser.

"The Daily Scrouge"? It's Scourge. "Fassymiles"? "Alamac"? Oh god, I can't even... We're not even a third of the way in. Is she dyslexic but just won't admit it as she falsely believes it's a stain against her fabricated reputation as a child genius? (Oddly enough, one of her most recent reads is flagged in its Goodreads synopsis as being "Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant or dyslexic readers aged 14+." - at this point Ruby would fit any/all of those.) Or did she just play American Football professionally for several years while nobody was looking? Because I'm really starting to believe she has severe brain damage from getting hit in the head too much. "Romantisilation" is not a word, it's a sign that you may have a concussion.

Ruby, this is why you should actually read the words on the page, not just skim and skip over them all - you might have a fighting change at noticing what the words actually are and what order the letters are in if you're not half-glancing at pages occasionally as you flip through the book to speed to the end and pretend you've read it.

I'm really starting to get the impression Blakeney is just Ruby's live-in carer, distracting her with cute kid crafts like you would a child to keep them entertained long enough to stop them from screaming or wandering off and putting a fork in a plug socket.

This comment sums the video up nicely

i don't know if its just the city i live in, but random presents left around for people to find would be reported to the police as potential bomb threats lol

I’m calling it now - Ruby’s ‘working class’ morning routine will involve Ruby pretending to be in service in her own house. So, she’ll be pretending to wake up in the smaller spare bedroom, dabbing her face with water from a jug, wearing a mob cap, crouching over the fireplace in her massive house pretending to light a fire, possibly posing with a broom for some reason, and her mum will be playing lady of the manor whilst Ruby serves her breakfast.
