ruby granger : Most liked Posts

Speaking of hating books, she removed "Bookworm" from her Insta bio and replaced it with "Tea Enthusiast".

Evidently she can only allow herself one fake interest/personality trait at a time.

This is the “mom I threw up” kid stance in the parent’s bedroom doorway at 2AM

I think that's the one thing that, in a way, genuinely makes me sad about Ruby: by refusing to grow up, she is not allowing the person she is now to flourish. Everybody, at one point, has to shed out the child and the teenager that they were. Everybody does it at different times, circumstances often help decide that, but my point is, that when that moment happens, you need to let go. Yes it's scary, yes it can be painful to realize you're no longer that same person, but this is just the beginning of your adult life. And, more often than not, you will discover that your adult self still has ties to who you previously were, that this younger version of you didn't fully die. That you might even like this adult self.
Ruby refuses to do that, and so she's stuck in a box that is way too small for her. You could see in her early university vlogs the young woman she could become, the progress she was making while still staying herself. I sometimes wonder what she thinks when/if she looks back at this period of her life.

On her blog she also talks about their skiing holiday and apparently Mother Granger didn't go skiing. That was probably a wise choice!

"There I was, slaloming down the snowy mountain like Eddie the Eagle, when suddenly disaster struck...

Unfortunately the thrifty sunglasses I bought weren't sunglassy enough and with my retinas burned by the blinding sunlight of the alps, I managed to lose sight of my path and ski right off a cliff. Just my luck!

After a 600 foot drop, bashing every rock outcropping on the way down - typical! - I finally collided with the ground with a wet splat, lying in a puddle of my own blood and shattered bones. My husband could probably hear my wailing from his comfortable seat in the ski lodge sauna up on top of the mountain.

A few of the locals passed by and I must've looked an embarrassing state, with my skeleton smashed to splinters and my body an irreparable wreck. I gave a knowing shake of the head and a 'what am I like?' eye roll and the friendly locals smiled politely carried on their walk. Such a lovely town!

I would've text my husband or my daughters to let them know I wouldn't be home for dinner, but my limbs had been torn from my body on the crashing tumble down the mountain - not that you can get service overseas anyway!

After several days, my loving husband finally stumbled across my pulverised body and was ready to carry me to the hospital on foot. Such a drama queen! Luckily we'd brought some biscuits with us in our carry-on bag, so he dragged my boneless jellyfish carcass back to the hotel room and after a lovely cup of tea and a nice English biscuit or two, I was good as new. This is the life."

I’d actually pass out if I walked into my office job and Ruby’s sat there in pigtails and a primary school dress doing recreations of Anne of Green Gables and skipping and doing spins on the way to the toilet.

Hi guys, I've been reading the threads for a while and this is my first post. I apologize in case I make any grammatical mistakes, English is not my first language.

I'm from Spain, 19, and I always find it surprising when people push Ruby to move out ASAP, as if not doing so was embarrasing or something that was going to impact her development massively, which I have noticed is a commonly held opinion in anglosaxon countries. I think this might be an unpopular opinion, but I don't think there's anything wrong with living with your parents in your early 20s.

I don't know anyone my age who has already moved out or that is planning on doing so in the following years. This is probably because of cultural differences, but most people who go to uni here live with their parents until at least their mid twenties, and it's seen as completely normal. Many people make it to their late 20s without ever having lived on their own (unless they did a year abroad or studied in another province), and still manage to be well-adjusted adults. I think the average age for moving out was 28 or 29. Also, because wages are so low compared to housing prizes, it would be nearly impossible to rent a decent place after graduation. I don't think it is as much of an issue as you make it out to be, as long as she is able to adapt once she does move out.

Someone noticed that she doesn't shave her legs?

I don't shave my legs either, she's actually lucky that her hair is so pale that she can 'get away' with it at a glance.

Today's best Rubyism: "A custard tard" = "Accoster tart".



I think we've found Ruby's alt account.



Praise be unto Jesus and deliver unto him 6 of your discounted washi tapes.

Ruby continues to live in the moment by pretending that it's autumn rather than enjoy summer and dressing like a child when she's 21 years old.

Craploads of recycled B-roll again from months/years ago. The main video itself was recorded almost a month ago (she's still reading Hilary Clinton's biography, which she claimed to have finished July 7th.) This is the 'rainy day' routine video she talked about filming back in the first week of July. Again, more of her banking old videos to release later, full of even older footage to help disguise and confuse her weight loss.

It's also poor content planning all around. Recording repetitive, recycled routine videos is bad enough, but at least space them out. Recording one, waiting a month and then releasing it two days after a near identical video isn't going to help your dwindling view count.

It's an ad video, because of course it is. "It's sponsored by NordVPN, who make it possible to watch movies and TV shows from other countries!" says Ruby excitedly, even though she doesn't watch any movies and TV shows available in the UK, let alone internationally. She blatantly lies about watching Stranger Things and watching a movie here. It's clearly bullshit, but the ad agreement with NordVPN said she had to show herself using it and discussing its features.

Tonnes of bodychecking. Tonnes of slurping her tea. Tonnes of bearing her teeth at the camera and angrily biting disgusting "food". Tonnes of tiny meals which she merely picks at awkwardly. Utterly repugnant. And this was yet again, clearly filmed across multiple days, so there's no chance all those tiny bits of toast and porridge were all partially-eaten on the same day.

This is her bed when it's made in the morning, with a plain white duvet cover:



This is the bed she gets in later "that day" with a polka dot penguin duvet cover:



When did that happen, Rubes? Looks suspiciously identical to the way it was in the last video, right down to you not bothering to adjust the sheet properly:



So this "day" was shot over the course of a month, and the last part was likely shot the same day as half her last video.

There are five outfit changes, not counting the opening B-roll footage, or the variant outfits, as sweaters and cardigans disappear and reappear in every shot. Ruby lies again, claiming that yes, she changes her outfits a lot in a day. Not buying it for a second. All those supposed outfit changes, yet she doesn't once put on a coat when it's cold and raining.

There's not even a lot to snark about. She pronounces "autumnal" with extra syllables added, for some reason. She pronounces porridge weird (considering that it's one of the three food groups she "eats" - toast, porridge and tea - you'd think she'd know it's not pronounced "pour-ij.") But it's just the exact same footage we've seen before. The only new thing is the concept of Ruby watching TV and using VPNs, but that's all lies for the sake of pleasing the sponsor for cash. She's a complete fraud.

Yeah it’s just traditional jobs they seem to take major issue with, being an influencer is absolutely fine apparently

Isn't that kinda messed up though? They're fine with (wealthy) students vlogging to a large online audience how amazing/unique/dark macademia/whatever being a student at Oxford is (which is implicit advertisement I guess?) but someone who needs to work to support themselves is off the table?

..... I have to come clean.

I keep snacks in my room (just a few chocolates, maybe some sweets, and them birthday cake bars you can get). If I leave anything downstairs it’ll get eaten by everybody else in the house within a few days, whereas if I keep it in my room I can make it last a lot longer. Then again, I have intense Social Anxiety and it’s always been a comfort/control thing to know what I have.

I don’t think it’s particularly weird to have a few snacks in a designated place (especially if they’re all prepackaged and it’s not just crumbs all over). I do think this isn’t really much to pull Ruby up on though, it’s honestly not THAT weird.

And the Frozen reference after it’d been talked about on here

Click to expand...

I thought that! Someone had only just said she might not know who Anna is, and now she’s mentioning Frozen.

Yes, H&M isn't a sustainable brand (and neither is Miss Patina - the only difference is that they're charging extortionate amounts for polyester) but I wish Ruby would acknowledge that shopping sustainably also includes not consuming unnecessarily. Remember that video she did a while ago where she had a whole second wardrobe in the house full to the brim of clothes? That's not the mention the endless gifted clothes she receives. I know she sells bits on Depop but compared to the amount she has, that's basically a drop in the ocean. There's no need for anyone to own the amount of clothes Ruby does.

I have a pair of jeans from Zara, for example, but these are the only jeans I own and need and they will last me years. Is is more sustainable to buy five pairs of jeans from expensive brands (we know you wear them Ruby!) or one pair in five years that I repair from an unsustainable brand because unfortunately I can't afford to shop from truly sustainable brands atm? Apologies for the ramble, but I just wish Ruby would consider sustainability in less of a 'black and white' manner, especially when she is fortunate enough to be able to afford to shop selectively.

I understand this is probably a joke but part of me hopes Marfa actually realises this
(From her tiktok of Ruby reading at the airport)

I’m convinced this thread has been taken over by
Clare

Absolutely not related to the present subject but while watching few vlogs I didn't watched back then and noticed the two girls in the background XD

Came across this post in the wild on Tumblr and immediately thought of Roomba.

A reminder that Ruby's incredible lack of marketing skills don't begin and end with her nails, here's how she chose to show of her latest Depop item for sale - a grey skirt from (you guessed it) Miss Patina:



First up, there's a blurred photo of Ruby wearing the skirt while recreating the Arthur's Fist meme for some reason:



The focal point of the photo isn't the skirt that's for sale, it's the dog's butthole. Because if there's one thing that convinces a reluctant buyer to drop down cash for a skirt, it's seeing a canine anus.



Next, a photo of Ruby rubbing the skirt all over the filth and grime of the ashy, dirt-laden fireplace hearth.

She obscures 40% of the skirt that's on sale to provide an element of mystery. Prospective buyers may wonder, "What does the pattern on the skirt look like?" or "Wait, is the dingy fireplace included in the sale?"



Then Ruby offers up a photo of herself wearing the skirt on the most overcast day possible for the worst natural light. The skirt has clearly seen different seasons, countless cities, many adventures and has infinite stories to tell. The one secret it won't share is what it actually looks like.



And finally, the clearest shot, in which we see a little more of the pattern. It's a teaser trailer to the feature length experience that the skirt's owner will get once they click 'Buy', wait several weeks, email Ruby to see when delivery will be, and - after many long, flowery emails in which Ruby talks about herself a lot but sheds no light on your late parcel woes - perhaps get to see the skirt in person one day.

Because Ruby's incapable of refraining from making everything about herself, 35 words of the 61 word item description (57%) are an irrelevant aside about her wardrobe habits that have no actual bearing on the item she's selling:

"Grey poodle skirt from Miss Patina (small) with black embroidered cats. I bought this nearly two years ago (since I have a burgundy one from them which I love) but I just don’t think grey suits me and so I haven’t worn it all this year. It’s still in perfect condition and is a well-made, versatile, vintage, preppy, unique piece 🤍"

I've said it before, Ruby, I'll say it again:

Buyers need to see one or more clear pictures of the current condition of the item they're potentially going to buy, along with a short description of brand, size and its condition. You can also include additional promo photos of the item from the website you bought it from. That's it.

They do not need a photoshoot of yourself in which the listed item is barely visible, or a blathering tale about your favourite colour and season. Save that shit for your diary.

At this point I just watch her videos just to enjoy @gossip_guy ’s recaps even more... And please put some sheets on your bed, Ruby!
