She should've just titled this video 'Ruby Tries Desperately to Make Her Childhood Regression Seem Normal and Avoid Therapy (AD)'.

So...her logic is that her regular desk--sorry, DASK--cannot be used for writing.



I mean, she's not wrong - it's been clear to everyone here that this small wedge of wood she calls a "DASK" isn't fit for purpose, especially now she's bought a giant iMac she didn't need to take up the entire space.

At this point, anyone with even a sliver of sense would go to Ikea or a used furniture place or somewhere to find a suitable desk and office chair if they'd just committed themselves to a year of deskbound writing.

Anyone else in Ruby's position would move into the house she bought for herself and utilise one of the many rooms there for a dedicated office. Or as a backup, why not put a desk in one of the dozen or so disused living rooms gathering dust in her family home and use that as a workspace?



Nah, Ruby's solution is to just take the battered old child's school desk "from CHARLDHOOD" that she had stored in the house and shove that in a cramped corner of her room, completely blocking the door so she presumably has to leave through the window now. Her new view while writing will be a blank wall with some stars hung on in - a bit of subliminal encouragement to try to help her believe that she's a gifted child star and not a rapidly aging moron with the mental capacity of a woodlouse.



Like everything she owns, this desk is full of dirt and mold.

There appears to be demonic black ectoplasm oozing out of it, and the sinister scrawl of some tormented soul has been etched into the desk's insides. Presumably this desk contains the trapped soul of some Victorian orphan, forever to remain inside until someone can read their cryptic message and free them from this eternal prison. Unfortunately, Ruby won't read anything longer than a dozen words, so it's endless desk-bound purgatory for that poor child's soul.

Instead of cleaning the desk in any way, she just filled it back up with redundant junk and childish nonsense, like her Matilda pencil case.

She then reminds everyone once again that she's a colossal idiot. Much as she might love to pretend she's the queen of organisation, planning and routine, she does nothing but fill her time with redundant, time-wasting busywork. That's as true in physical spaces as it is in all her digital planners and to-do lists.



She pulls out a "wroiyting slyope" in which she stores all of her letter-writing supplies. She rambles about how much she loves it and points out that it's "the PARFACT SARFASS FOR WROIYTING when you're out and about". Ruby never goes out anywhere, so I'm not sure how that's a selling point for her, or who in their right mind would be lugging this hefty case-full of crap around on a day out like, "Hold on, just gotta make sure I don't forget my keys, my phone and my back-breaking antique suitcase full of never-to-be-used notebooks - I'd be lost without that!" More importantly though, she notes that "there's a RAST hyarr for your PANS".



Not sure why you'd want to keep kitchenware in with your envelopes, but whatever.

After saying that she'll continue using this "wroyting slyope" in addition to the school desk and her other desk, she just gets right back to the infantile school desk situation.

So...what the fuck was the point in showing this? It's a pointless inclusion, and all is does is show that she has endless amounts of redundant clutter in her room, the whole place is too cramped and full of useless crap, and not only is she not going to consolidate or make space by decluttering, she's going to add more unwieldy shit to her small room. What a dumbass.



She says that her first step to setting up her new writing space is to write a list of all the things she wants to keep in her baby-sized school desk. It quickly becomes clear that either she never writes anything, she's a braindead moron, or both. If she spent as much time writing longhand in books and journals as she claimed, she's already know what her most-used items and supplies are.

She also shows off some more of her writing.

"Everything is languid and
hot - so slow that
you can't hear it, and our
watches become
futile."

Pro tip, Ruby: Spend less time setting up multiple writing spaces and more time giving up on writing and getting a job, because you're not cut out for this in any way. This is complete drivel. Ruby can apparently now only write about the weather. She has no imagination, perspective or experience to draw from, so she exclusively writes about things she sees out her bedroom window, and even then she describes the weather as though it's the viewpoint of some illiterate alien.

She slaps Dance of the Little Swans on for the trillionth time and there's just an endless montage of her clattering about in drawers and banging all the stationery supplies that she never uses around to the point where her narration is inaudible.

She fills her desk up with 95% affectatious bullshit which she'll never use, like feather quills. She says she needs to keep a stockpile of stamps in there, too.



Some of the stamps are themed, and she reads out one with a literary quote on it. Add another word to the utterly endless list of words Ruby can't pronounce or doesn't understand. Sentinel is apparently pronounced "senni-tal" now - update your vocabularies accordingly.



As if she didn't have enough clutter, Ruby keeps saying she's bought additional stuff, like more stationery and this writing organiser, which she'll apparently lug around in addition to her "wroiyting slyope", I guess? She says that this, too, is perfect for when she'll be out and about. She'll apparently need a never-ending supply of writing utensils for when she makes the 10 foot journey to her back yard.



Ruby casually points out that there's so much random bullshit all over her room that some of it had to be stuffed in the back of her toddler-sized chair. Her mother is filming this whole thing, and neither of them stop to consider the sheer stupidity of this entire endeavour or the overwhelming creepiness of this 22-year-old woman trying to recreate her life when she was 11, living in a room with a child's bed, desk and chair, and kiddyish scrapbook decorations that the average 13-year-old would have outgrown.

While she's showing off the latest layer of her childhood regression, Ruby protest that she's really a mature grown-up who likes to go to libraries and coffee shops to write. Ruby hasn't shown herself in a coffee shop since she left uni. She spent the entirety of university avoiding the library. She goes nowhere and the sum total of her writing this year is a few incoherent poems.



But Ruby also has to keep pretending she goes out in public all the time because this video is sponsored by "Nyord V.P. Anne"! So, naturally, Ruby can't talk about VPN services without pretending she uses one in coffee shops. She couldn't even be bothered to go to the nearest coffee shop just to get a few minutes of footage of her using her laptop in public.

Ruby says she's been using NordVPN for over a year, as though she's a long-standing happy customer. She refuses to clarify that she's technically been using it for over a year only because that's how long they've been sponsoring her. She doesn't use the service outside sponsored videos and has never mentioned or shown herself doing so. It's all a complete mess of lies and stupidity. Ruby claims she's created a bulky portable writing setup for on-the-go literary sessions, but then says she'd be taking her laptop, too, because she has to advertise the sponsor. She's a stupid, deceitful little toad.

And if I worked at NordVPN and had paid Ruby for this video, I'd want my money back. As always, it's so sloppily filmed and edited. The sponsored section is almost entirely garbled with choppily-edited partial sentences. Thanks to her fake accent, weird cadence and her rushed, mush-mouthed slurred speech, it's all a complete mess. She announces that viewers can uses a code if they want to "styart yoosing Nyord V.P. Anne Tyoo!" and her inflection makes it sound like it's "Nord VPN 2: The Sequel to NordVPN".



I went back switched on subtitles at this point, and they came to the same conclusion I did.

And then she completely butchers the sponsor name somehow and just doesn't bother with a second take.



That subtitle is entirely accurate. This brain-addled dipshit actually calls it GeorgeVPN. No second takes. No second brain cells, either - she's maxed out at one.



Back to the infantile desk fiasco, Ruby opens up her shrine to her childhood and says she wanted to put a scroll with her goals for the year inside.

Remember, Ruby uses all her own products and to-do lists, and they're all designed by her from the ground up to suit her needs, so she never has to do things like make goal scrolls out of scrap paper. Ruby couldn't figure out how to get the scroll to...scroll, so she gives up on the whole thing immediately rather than try a little hard, workshop ideas or even research ideas. Improvement isn't part of Ruby's toolset and if she can't be rewarded instantly, she isn't interested.



Instead, she just bolts a gigantic fucking laundry peg to the underside of her desk lid, because it wasn't cluttered with enough cumbersome crap already. And of course, she shills some Ponkin' Poddocktivtea products that nobody's buying.



Her fake Emma Watson accent goes into overdrive as she mentions that they had a "A SPAAH CHAAH DOWNSTAAHS", which she immediately slams against the wardrobe.

Rubert the Barely Literate says that her parents said that she could put it in her room. This is Ruby's childhood chair/desk. Nobody else is going to want it. Nobody else is stupid enough to try sitting on this regularly as an adult. Why the fuck is Ruby seeking permission from mummy and daddy how to decorate her room, other than as yet another desperate and pathetic way that she gets to feel like a child again?

She inadvertently pokes holes in more of her own lies as she claims that she'll use the back of her chair to store many "nyotebocks"...including the travel notebook that she'll use when she's "out on the gyo". Y'know, the thing that belongs in that travel writing organiser thing she was just pretending she'll use.

Sooo...every time Ruby goes on an imaginary outing, she's got like seventeen different hefty stashes of crap she expects people to believe she's taking? Yeah, I'm not buying it, Rubes.



Ruby's back at her iMac in her destroyed armchair, and somehow this spine-mangling, eye-straining setup is now the second worst seating situation in Ruby's room. She has yet to explain why she decided not to get anything resembling a comfortable chair designed for adults. I mean, it's obvious why, but I'd love to hear Ruby's excuse.



She takes a break from destroying her eyesight and vertebrae to "rearrange the Pode-aroid pictures". Pode-aroid.





For some reason she then starts unpacking even more clutter, pulling her moldy steamer trunk from under her bed. It's a flimsy excuse to shoehorn in another undeclared ad for snack bars which she keeps in there.



In case this video weren't a creepy enough reminder of her childhood fixation, she reveals that she keeps a stockpile of photos of young children under her bed, because that's not terrifying or anything.





After shining a massive light on just how cramped and cluttered her room is and how much worse she's made the situation, she gleefully announces that she's ordered even more shit from "AT-Sea". Ruby disingenuously virtue-signals that she always tries to support small businesses when we know she always goes out of her way to avoid showing any support for independent shops. She refuses to name independent shops she might visit in Instagram posts to provide them with much-needed advertising and instead desperately mentions Waterstones as much as she can to chase a sponsorship.

So did she finally see sense and order an office chair and a proper desk? Nope.



Dumbass claims she needs an antique letter organiser. Y'know, to organise all those letters that nobody sends her. "JANUINELY, THIS IS PARRFACT."

Naturally, she mentions that it's VARRY EXPANSIVE, as though £30 isn't just pocket change to her.

JUST BUY A FUCKING PROPER DESK AND CHAIR ALREADY, RUBY.

You can even get ones that suit the Dark Academia aesthetic that you keep claiming to love. You have all the money in the world to buy a gorgeous, spacious vintage mahogany or walnut desk and a nice ergonomic leather-look or Chesterfield-style office chair to match. But, of course, those are things an adult would use, so Ruby wants no part of it. Next she'll decide her bed is too grown up and buy a vintage rocking crib to sleep in.



Moving on to the "finishing TOTCHES" and Ruby decided that there weren't enough fire hazards in her room already so she sets a candle up where it'll immediately set her whole fucking wall ablaze. And then there's a child's initial coaster, because apparently Etsy were fresh out of these:





Even though Ruby has ink pots aplenty, she decides to also fill the inkwell in her battered and moldy desk, which is 100% going to leak and wreck everything inside. And after all the talk of this being a desk for writing in "nyotebocks" and "latters", Ruby just goes ahead and dumps a fucking great big typewriter on it and then awkwardly stabs at random keys like a toddler let loose in her parent's office. She is never going to use this thing.



Yeah...this is definitely going to end well...

(Reminder: Her mother is the one filming this. Neither one of these braindead fuckwits sees the obvious problem with setting fires close to flammable materials.)

Ruby again points out that she now has two desks in her room - one has her computer and the other is this shrine to primary school blocking her doorway. She practically drops all pretence of this being a practical decision that can be explained rationally and just says it's "a step back in toime, which is rilly noice." Again, her mother doesn't point out how unhealthy any of this insanity is.



She rambles on about how wonderful her "DASK" is and the "poldaroids" and all the infantile bullshit she's assembled, all the while she's wildly gesticulating with her hands, waving her arm about and nearly knocking the fucking candle over.

Ruby's rambling again, but then there's a random cutaway and presumably her mum grew a brain cell and told Ruby to remove the candle off-camera, because it cuts back and Ruby's sheepishly relocating the candle to her other desk.



Reminder: It's broad daylight and it's an unscented candle - there's no need to be lighting them at all, especially if you're Ruby and have zero mental faculties, hand-eye coordination or attention span.



She shows the inside of the desk again and just repeats all the stuff she already said earlier in the video. This was obviously filmed across multiple days for some reason as evidenced by the 257 outfit changes, so Ruby evidently didn't bother checking any footage and just repeated a bunch of stuff.

She points out that she also has a travel pencil case for if she goes "out and about". So that's another pack of redundant crap she expects people to believe she takes with her on these imaginary trips outdoors.



(Ruby apparently going "out and about".)

She also points out an "Ed Grallenpo" notebook that she keeps in her desk, full of handwriting by "Ed Grallenpo". I assume this is one of Ruby's neighbours or childhood teachers. I wonder if he knows his handwriting is a lot like Edgar Allen Poe's.

By this point I started to picture a look of dawning realisation and utter dread on Mother Granger's face as she filmed her daughter gleefully rattling off a list of all her favourite things like a small child showing off their room on their very first playdate, after having adorned her room with pictures of small children and turning her entire room into a creepy cocoon of infantilised insanity. If I were a parent and saw this happening with my 22-year-old child, I'd borrow some of that stationery to start sending out invites to her intervention. This is complete lunacy.

Ruby caps off the video by insisting that this is all "VARRY LATTER-WRITING FYOCUSED". It just comes off as desperate deflection to avoid acknowledging that she's making zero progress writing (or in general) since leaving uni and just wants to be a child again, so she's gone even further in her crusade to turn her room into a time capsule of childhood regression. Mother Granger had better start wearing jeans at all times, because at this rate, Ruby's probably going to try to climb back into the womb.

No place for slut shaming here, thanks.

Lmao I was like Ruby I think you mean astronomy? My boyfriend is a physicist, astrophysics is not accessible at all to a layreader like Ruby. I would love to see Ruby attempt to read an astrophysics article and realise that it's mostly very complex maths and there's nothing aesthetic about it

"After drinking tea, I read some of 'An Expert's Guide to Traversing Wormholes' by Professor Alex X. Quarkson and I am not exaggerating when I say it's in the top 10 books I've ever read.

It weaves words and knowledge so, so beautifully and it's written with such apprehension but also it's volatile and it's relatable but also enigmatic.

There are minute moments that flow into grand ones, and the verbiage used at the beginning of the book repeats throughout the rest of the tome to elucidate each sentence. I cried at least three times before I finished it. Such a powerful book which comes highly recommended."

Be sure to follow the sequel playlist: "you woke up on your first day of boarding school but you slept in a weird position so you have pins and needles in your left arm and your second cousin just text you to let you know that their poodle escaped and if you could share their Facebook post about it they'd really appreciate it"

It's basically just 'Numb' by Linkin Park followed by 'Who Let the Dogs Out?'

"Um" -- Ruby Granger, 2023

can this be the next tread title please

I know I'm late on the topic, but I really think the entire holocaust scandal is completely unforgivable. She's 21 years old.

In particular, the vile video she made about the victim of the eugenics programme. So many of us still live with the consequences of it. The name of my disability was the name of a nazi-cooperator who selected children with my disability to be tortured, assaulted and murdered in the eugenics programme. He lined children up and decided which were worth less, and which could be 'saved' (still medically tortured, but not killed). I have to live every single day knowing that I am branded - in the eyes of others - with his label. I constantly have to refer to myself with the term created by a monster in order to avoid discrimination, because it still has the connotation of 'less disabled' and hence 'worth saving', despite it being inaccurate. A large portion of my family was murdered in the programme and the camps, and I and many others still have to use the terms they were labelled with that took them to their deaths.

The holocaust and the eugenics programme was not a game, or fiction to be utilised for a dramatic reading on YouTube. The expressions when she was talking about sterilisation, forced abortion etc made me sick. These aren't mythical torture methods - they happened. They are still happening. Disabled people are not sources of pity-porn to be used for a quick buck.

I got rejected from Cambridge the other day (very relieved honestly lol) and for a moment was scared I would enter a Rooby-era. But now I no longer have to worry, because she has proven time and time again that nobody in their right mind could be as inconsiderate, uneducated and terrible. I think in my first post here I wrote that I don't think she's a bad person, but that's definitely changed. She may be sick, but she's caused so much harm at this point. So, so done with her now.

Guys can we please refrain from the she-should-have-more-of-her-diss-done-ing, as someone who literally does only have 800 words of their diss done it's very stressful to read these posts while taking a study break

"I couldn't possibly be racist, as I have many black friends! Look, here's one now!"

It's about a gifted child genius loves to read in a world full of bullies and ignorant fools who like to do things like (gasp!) watch TV. She gets revenge on her bullies, all the people who don't appreciate her genius get their comeuppance and the family who don't understand her go to jail and she gets adopted by a smart, kindhearted teacher.

That's ultimate wish fulfilment for Ruby, who wishes she was still a child and sees herself as a misunderstood young bookworm genius in a world full of simpletons and bullies who don't appreciate her.

The only real similarity between Matilda's life and Ruby's, however, is that both their fathers are running corrupt money-making schemes.

In fact, Ruby has infinitely more in common with Matilda's father, Harry Wormwood. They're both greedy, dishonest, selfish, belittling people. Both care more about money than other people. Both have dodgy businesses that run on selling people a product that's inferior and defective and they knowingly charge substantially more for their faulty goods than they're worth, swindling their customers out of their money in exchange for a heap of junk.

For someone as boring as Ruby this thread moves surprisingly fast

Haven't posted in ages but I think Roobs is taking the whole Victorian ghost thing a bit far now..

I think a move towards more booktube content could actually be interesting, I tend to watch those kinds of channels and if Ruby engages more critically with books it could really work well for her.

I'm very dubious about her working class Victorian morning routine - my research specialism is gender and class in the 19th century and I think I'll find it very difficult to hold my tongue. If Ruby does her normal romanticised take on the topic it will most likely come across as massively insensitive and problematic, especially coming from Ruby's extremely privileged position.

Mother Granger's new blog is up:


It turns out that it's not her fault she's had a lifetime of being incompetent and having a brain like a broken hourglass, with thoughts, brain cells and knowledge of how to accomplish basic tasks spilling out the side, never to go back in. She's just had the menopause for 40+ years!

The other day, I popped into my local pharmacy to pick up some vitamins to help with my menopausal symptoms. When I entered, the little bell rang on the door and the friendly assistant asked if she could help. I went blank and said I’d forgotten why I was in there. She moved on to another customer, who smiled at me through his mask - I could tell by his eyes - he obviously lived with a woman of a similar age.

Mother Granger's menopause might've given her memory problems, but it's also given her psychic superpowers: She could tell from one awkward glance from a stranger in the supermarket that he knew her struggle, for he, too, had lived with a menopausal woman.

I give an awkward, sympathetic smile to people who lose their marbles, too, it doesn't mean I'm thinking, "Ahh, Greg from HR is holding up the lunch line again because he forgot his wallet - must be the menopause!"

Later that morning, I dropped into the supermarket to get some bread and bananas. When I reached home, I realised that I’d left my packet of vitamins on the supermarket counter. Back I drove to retrieve them and while I was in the area, felt the need to go back to the pharmacy and apologise to the assistant who first served me and reveal that the reason I couldn’t remember why I was in the pharmacy, was due to my forgetfulness caused by the menopause - hence buying the menopausal vitamins. We had a laugh about it because if I didn’t laugh, I’d cry.

Wait, so she:

1. Went to the pharmacy.
2. Later that day, went to the supermarket, apparently still clutching her vitamins in-hand.
3. Left vitamins on the supermarket counter for some reason.
4. Went home.
5. Realised she left her vitamins at the supermarket.
6. Drove back to the supermarket, finding her vitamins magically still there.
7. Made a separate trip to the pharmacy just to tell the clerk that she has the menopause.
8. Shared a hearty laugh with the confused and uncomfortable pharmacy clerk.

None of this happened.

Ahh, the old "You have misunderstood me and therefore you are wrong" double-down. Another classic Ruby move. It's not her fault for making a bad video from a place of thoughtless and toxic intentions. It's everyone else's fault for not applying Ruby's nonsense logic to it to see her true intentions!

This is absolute bullshit, of course. Ruby argues that all the ideas in her video are strictly for study breaks, so you shouldn't criticise their focus on productivity. Um..what?

She's a fucking moron. A break is exactly that: Rest and reprieve from hard work and strenuous things to relax and recuperate. There's no situation where you should be taking a break to do more taxing things, unless you're taking a break from a day of doing fuck all to study for a bit, but that's not what Ruby's claiming.

It's hilarious that she always causes the most controversy in the most overtly sponsored videos. I'm sure they love that! I'd also wager that half the suspiciously postive comments are from Sixteenth employees on burner accounts, the way they closed ranks on her paid charity Insta post the other week.

lol I doubt she’s dropping any hints whatsoever, she has all the subtlety of a sledgehammer and the camera pointing to Blakeney instead of the view is fully within her normal level of ineptitude with a camera

I'm reading Ruby's mum's blog and she's written this on the post "Fifty Ways"


It really sounds like Martha is really thoughtful with gifts, and I feel really sorry for her when I think of the lamp Ruby got rid of, it was perfect for somebody who studies as much as Ruby does. Clearly it wasn't as aesthetic as studying by candlelight
