Ruby starts her day with a small prayer to the Gods of Productivity.
"Dearest Productivity Gods, please grant me nothing but First grades and the opportunity to steal more charity money. Notion bless me. Amen."
But Ruby remembers that it's kinder to be grateful for the charity money you already stole than to wish for more to steal.
And then she smiles, because she has a
lot of stolen charity money.
Ruby continues to not know how emoticons and emojis work and accidentally gives the mention of waking up with a smile a weird, suggestive tone.
Ruby was evidently just grinning at nothing for the better part of an hour, since she claims she woke up at 6:30am, but it's a while after 7am when she gets out of bed to turn off her alarm.
Ruby starts every morning with a breath of fresh air, because breathing in the dust, mold and dirt that permeates every inch of her room overnight must be hell on the lungs.
Her mind must still be on all the charity money she swindled, because she starts grinning like a psychopath again.
After bodychecking with some morning stretches, where Ruby mentions that she's "fallen out of the habit of doing yoga", she brushes her hair so violently that you'd think it owed her
charity money. She's audibly snapping strands of hair with her brush and it sounds painful. Ruby's already losing her hair through malnutrition, but she's helping her eroding hairline along by straight-up yanking it out at the root.
The end result is a hairline as patchy, full of glaring holes and painful to look at as her videos.
Not satisfied, she angrily twists her fucked-up hair into a bun and is apparently ready to start her day.
Ruby grabs a stagnant glass of water that's been gathering dust overnight and chugs it down.
She's once again pretending to read while brushing her teeth, but all she's accomplishing is ruining a perfectly good book. The cover looks new, but the pages are speckled with stains/mold. Ruby spitting all over it for her morning "Oiy'm syoo spashul!" affectation probably isn't helping. This is one of
two separate montages of Ruby brushing her teeth while pretending to read in this video.
Remember, Ruby is an avid bookwork who ALWAYS takes care of her books.
After that, it's just ten more minutes of the exact same rehashed shit we've seen in every other video.
Ruby stares at laptops and claims to be REALLY enjoying "STODDYING" while looking so miserable you'd think she were reading a court order forcing her to return the charity money she took.
Ruby waves her eating disorder in everyone's face, lovingly preparing tiny servings of the same 4 ingredients for every "meal" (with peas in Shreddies, naturally). No more than a couple of bites is eaten, and no full, substantial meal is prepared.
The whole video is just the same thing she's shown 5,000 times before, only she looks on the brink of collapse.
It also feels like she's been on Tattle again, because she's fully doubled down on the denial and contradictions while attempting to address and debunk the criticisms from here in the most laughably lazy and unbelievable ways.
Ruby pretends she doesn't actually hate her pets, even though she instantly forgets that one of her dogs died last year (that or she just reused months-old narration). When she's playing with her dog with her mum, she obviously never does this usually and just parrots all the things her mum says and does with the dog.
Ruby: "Breaks are VARRY important!"
Also Ruby: "Breaks should be
productive. Here's 95 hours of tasks crammed into one fabricated day, good luck keeping up with me while also taking breaks!"
Ruby: "I ALWAYS loiyke tyoo disinFACT moiy laptop AVVERY noight as part of moiy daily rootineee." (Lazily swabs a couple of patches of her laptop outer shell.)
Meanwhile:
Ruby: "My room is VARRY cold ALL THE TOIYME!"
Also Ruby: (Leaves the curtains on her single-glazed, no insulation windows open overnight to let all the cold air in, so that she can "wake up with the sun"...only to wake up hours after sunrise and immediately open all the windows.)
Ruby: "I need things to be clean. I can't concentrate if it's messy."
Meanwhile:
Ruby spends a tonne of time telling us she's always hyper-productive and accomplishes many things all day, and ALWAYS HONESTLY gets engrossed in her work and distracted from the world around her because she's enjoying it SYO MOCH, and she's getting ALL THE WAHHRK done on her dissertation. But she shows no evidence of any of that. Then later complains that she has trouble staying focused on things.
Ruby: "YASS, this video was filmed across tyoo days becoss my grandparents were hyarr and it wouldn't be reFLACKtive of moiy actual day otherwise."
What about every single other daily routine or "day in my life" video that was filmed across multiple days/months? Do your grandparents visit you every single day, no matter where you are?
If she'd been saying from the beginning of these vlogs, "I have a lot of shit to do that I can't film, or things that filming would distract me from, so this is more of a recreation of a day in my life than an uninterrupted record of an actual day" then nobody would've mentioned it.
Instead, she fabricates a timeline where she has 76 hours of productivity crammed into a single day to make all her young, naïve fans jealous that they can't accomplish as much, and will inevitably work themselves sick trying. And Ruby once again addresses criticism with 3% truth, 97% lies. This video is like 4+ days of footage. In the first time she's ever acknowledged filming on multiple days, Ruby admits to only two.
And she's lying to herself, as well.
She complains throughout this video that she finds it hard to concentrate in the afternoon, or can't be productive at bedtime. It's lunacy, and Ruby handwaves her inability to concentrate or stay focused for the majority of the day away as just a sign to switch to different "tahhsks". She doesn't consider the glaring ED-lephant in the room as the root cause of her brain's inability to function or focus.
She doesn't mention her bizarre compulsion to always be at least pretending to be busy (while accomplishing nothing) as a stupidly misguided and toxic thing.
She shows yet again that, alongside the 689 planners, trackers and to-do lists she claims to use, she's going to make another one for overall tasks.
But she makes sure to include things she's already completed so that she can instantly cross them off and reward herself undeservedly to fool herself into thinking she's not floundering, and trick the audience into thinking she's accomplishing big things very quickly.
She's fully committed to childhood regression again, and casually mentions that she goes to say good morning multiple times to her parents in the same two hour morning, as though she's terrified they'll run away the second she leaves the room. Then her mummy indulges her with tea parties in the garden while she dresses like a child.
Ruby confused her "Writing for Children" module with the "Writing to Traumatise Children" module, judging by the nightmare illustrations she shows.
Her book is a Christmas story for kids, but Ruby clearly just drew an alien in a wig:
She aims to hand this in as her final assignment for university and not only pass, but get a first.
And her dissertation isn't looking any better, either, since she's still trying to build it around stolen ideas she's cribbed from Liz Stanley and that AI "let the algorithm do your research for you" app Genei (which she advertises, yet makes no mention of her relationship with the brand or that they're a paid sponsor of her).
It's no wonder she keeps having to rewrite this shit after every meeting with her dissertation supervisor, but Ruby still hasn't solved the core problem that this barely-tangential nonsense has almost nothing to do with English Literature.
And this is why we'll never get another Dissertation Diary. She's still no further ahead than she was months ago.
" comment that's just completely transparent and obvious bullshit. But she still does it, and lies endlessly.
(it’s set in the 11th). Hasn’t she claimed Macbeth is one of her favourite Shakespeare plays? Isn’t she literally going to be spending a good chunk of her master’s studying Shakespeare? She just read an entire book based on Lady Macbeth’s backstory and didn’t even realise what time period the book is set in. Maybe she should be spending her time reading the actual play instead. Someone corrected her in the comments and she’s changed the caption now. I just can’t believe she didn’t take even a second to double-check? Even if I knew with 99% certainty (100% even!) that it was set in a certain time period, I would double-check before posting it to my 200k followers. She really truly believes she knows everything and is never wrong. Unbelievable.
forgive the dodgy collages
