"This weekly stress tracker, printed in a calming green..."

"Calming green"? Jesus, just looking at that triggers my anxiety. It's like being beaten in the face with a big sockful of Altoid tins. It's a minty assault on the senses.

Key cause of stress this week: The sight of this damn thing.

Gonna need an extra stress tracker just to deal with the stress of looking at this stress tracker.

That's some 'Michael Gambon as Dumbledore'-ass definition of the word "calm" right there.

(Also there is no Saturday or Sunday on this weekly stress planner. Apparently human beings are incapable of stress on the weekend?)

Given how rigid Ruby is, I wouldn’t be surprised if she was a bit of a nightmare as a sister, especially since Martha absolutely doesn’t seem like a study-two-shoes.

Didn’t Martha get Ruby a lamp once as a present, and Ruby said she didn’t need it so was going to donate it or something along those lines? I’d be devastated if I gave a thoughtful gift like that to my sister who studied by bloody candlelight, only to have her announce online that she didn’t want it.

I’m sure they’re both spoiled, but that was pretty mean of Ruby.

I’m a little uncomfy discussing the gender/orientation of someone who is possibly underage (haven’t gone sleuthing to find out how old they are and don’t intend to) and in any case hasn’t asked to be the topic of conversation on a snark board relating to their wacko cousin. Can we just agree that Ruby is a piece of scum who would totally deadname someone (and probably has) and move on?

And now she's gone from posting deliberately inaccurate and misleading Depop listings (lies in the listings, photos from months/years ago which do not accurately show the item's current condition) to awkwardly arranging clothes with weird props.

Does this random bible/book come with the top? No? Then don't post it.

I'm honestly shocked she didn't just pile candles and plates of toast all over the top like she does with her planner photoshoots.

This looks like an outfit of the day for attending a river baptism.

I found a stream recording!



Oh my god, it's an absolute trainwreck and she's only just started talking.

Untitled455675656657575675577.png


The look of utter confusion and disdain on this person's face as she's forced to endure Roobee waving her claw hand around and ramble on about snowflakes being ephemeral in her fake Emma Watson accent.

Pure despair. I love it.

"In in this speech oiy will argue that JAN ZEE are an ASTRONOMICAL JANERATION. They have dallt with COIBERBOLLYING which previous janerations NAVVER had tyoo. Profassor Walter P. Bugelmoyer wryote that "adversity is loike a seagoll troiying tryoo steal the chips of our soul on a seafront of despair". And thaahrfwore JAN ZEE are the SACKOND myost greatest janneration, befwore the Victorians, offcwoarse. [Chews tea]"
This was supposed to be a joke and she's gone and done it. It's not even been a minute and she's mentioned JAN Z's cyberbollying stroggles and pulled a quote pulled from Ian McEwan. All that's left is the tea.

Anddd she's quoting more people. Jesus. At least she's up first so the audience will have forgotten about her once the rest of the panel have said things that make sense.

Can just imagine her tutors getting one of her shitty wax-sealed calligraphy letters in their letterbox every week. I'm shocked they haven't banished her.
I’ve got a vision of Ruby’s lecturers being like Uncle Vernon trying to stop Harry’s Hogwarts letter, and hundreds of Ruby’s wax-sealed missives flying at them from every angle.

Honestly I’d love to be a fly on the wall to watch Ruby during seminars and lectures. I’d love to hear more about what she’s like xD
Haha I wish I had more gossip to spill! One thing I did hear (can’t say for sure whether or not it’s true) was that in first year she was almost obsessed with one of her seminar leaders, bringing them thank you cards/extra pieces of writing/little gifts almost every session. Apparently it almost felt uncomfortable for the rest of the group because she WORSHIPPED this professor. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t in any way think this is in a creepy/romantic sense, just that she was obsessed with their area of work and determined to impress them. I also heard that she cried once on a zoom seminar because her wifi crashed and she was 5 mins late because of it. That’s not surprising though, I’m pretty sure she’s vlogged herself getting stressed about that before 😅

i'm assuming the UK has open online universities where you can study from home! so she could do that...
I doubt she would thrive studying at open uni. She relies on constant validation and praise, I think one of the reasons she isn't enjoying uni because she is just another average jane in her course (barring her excessive busywork & study hours) and not the Gifted Child like she thought she was.

Most of these studytubers suffer from 'big fish in small pond' syndrome, they all thought they were hot shit until they went to uni and faced the fact that being head girl or star student at their old school meant fuck all, unless they applied their soft skills to their new studies. Vast majority of them failed/are failing miserably at this. I've always found Eve Bennett a bit irritating and spoiled but one thing I can applaud her for is how she adjusted to Oxford and eventually managed to make the most of it. When I look at Ruby or Jade, I can't help but laugh at how much they are a shadow of their former selves. Both are narcissistic and and delusional, refusing to accept that they actually hate studying but can't let go of their online persona because the cash and the praise is just too sweet. Jade is a greenwashed MLM clown and Ruby is forever living in Neverland. I have no idea how younger fans look up to these two.

New video has just been uploaded, anxiously waiting for the gossip guy's reaction!
I don't understand why it has to be all-or-nothing with her. Almost every single one of these was framed in the context of 'I don't do this every day, but I try' - why does she have to disinfect her phone and computer every day, or study outside the house for a few hours, or do 30 minutes of Pumpkin Productivty 'admin' every day? It's not realistic to need to wipe down your phone every day without fail, for example.

Perhaps this is nitpicky, but it also irks me how she says that she wants to get her fluency in Spanish 'back', implying that A-Level Spanish made her fluent and she wants to return to that. She's mentioned it in another video, too. A-Levels can give you a good grounding in a language, but I refuse to believe she was ever proficient. And she suggests reading the headlines in El País as a way to achieve such fluency - what's stopping her from reading the actual articles, unless her Spanish isn't advanced enough yet? Someone needs to remind her that it's okay to be a beginner or intermediate at something.

It's not you. She's really started ramping up the speed of the footage so her speech sounds unnaturally fast.

She's also started going overboard with time-lapse footage to try to fool people into thinking she's actually doing things like tidying when she's really just wandering around her room aimlessly.

Her videos have become even more of an embarrassing mess than usual.
It's like when you put The Sims on fast-forward and they zoom around the room doing nothing

I could go on and on about how bookshop owners do not want people sticking anything in their books, not new books, not used. It leaves creases, discoloration, breaks tight bindings, etc.. Notes from strangers is just plain creepy. I would not want to receive one, feeling like someone is watching me as I open the book and stalking me, nor would I have any idea what kind of person is receiving a note I would write. It reeks of the lonely stalker syndrome and the older Ruboid gets the cringier she becomes. Charity and kindness is not supposed to be advertised. You don't wear it on your sleeve and hope for a bunch of people to thumb you up or comment on how wonderful and sweet you are. You do it with humility and respect. This is exactly why I really hate her. Not dislike, but hate. I hate what she does and I hate her performances, lack of ethics, self-absorbed attitude. It makes my stomach turn. She will never work in a soup kitchen unless she can film it. She will never give money unless she can turn it into an ad. She will never gift someone something unless she can flip it into a social media reel. Her family, herself, all are a bunch of inconsiderate pretenders.

I wasn't basing it just on her Pinterest account! I am talking in general. Have we ever seen her hanging out or making friends, interviewing anyone of another ethnic background? Because I don't recall ever seeing it. I mean, I have always lived in the countryside of the US. From first grade on I always have had friends and neighbours who were Indian, Chinese, Taiwanese, Japanese, the Caribbean, Kenyan, etc.. This was the norm. It still is. Now married and in another town our own neighbourhood and friends are always diverse. Is it not so in the UK? I am genuinely interested.
We’re not as diverse as a country. I remember reading that about 89% of the UK population are white. That was 5+ years ago but gives you a sense of demographics.

Ruby is also from a very white area and went to a small private school so you can assume largely white too, based on where she lives. So I don’t think it’s odd or strange that she doesn’t have a diverse friend group. She also doesn’t have that many friends anyway so it’s not that surprising.

I went to a wedding last year not far from where Ruby is from. The guests were 99% white and it wasn’t a small guest list. It’s just the nature of where the groom and bride are from.

You could say that she should try to diversify her friend group but I would argue that doing that intentionally- seeking out diverse friends because they’re not white- is even worse. See unjaded Jade who seems to revel in her “exotic” friends…

I just want to add - how would this work? Thinking about how many modules she’d take, how many tutors she’d have - does this mean there would be one central controlling person whispering in each tutor’s ear, persuading them to give her firsts? And every time she starts a new module they do it again? From what I know of tutors they get very annoyed if you’re not learning what they’re teaching, or are keen to help you if you’re trying and still don’t get it - it would kill them to give you an inflated mark on their subject if you did bad work because it reflects directly on their teaching and grading!
Plus honestly male tutor, female student, inflated mark - doesn’t look like they’re being paid, it looks like an affair.
Breaking news: Ruby's sleeping with all her teachers! You heard it here at Tattle first!

In reality, I hope the whole arrangement happened like this:

Professor Tweedington: "I had to grade an essay from Ruby "Granger" last night. Do you know if there's any red pens left in the storage cupboard? I went through eight of them just correcting one page."

Mr. Poshmeister: "She was in my seminar last week and we had to book the room out for an extra three hours as she wouldn't stop talking."

Professor Tweedington: "Why didn't you just leave?"

Mr. Poshmeister: "We did. She was so wrapped up in the sound of her own voice that she didn't realise she was talking to an empty chair for most of her morning. Nobody wanted to interrupt her. The last 3 people who did that got reported to the police for bullying."

Professor Tweedington: "I'm gonna have to fail her. This is drivel. She's written the phrase "super omulent crotasity" six times. She keeps talking about the "psyomagnic-vorco theory". This reads like a serial killer's manifesto. She has to go."

Miss Fabernathy: "No! Please don't fail her! My mental health has improved drastically since she started taking my class. I've never laughed so much in my life. She was dressed like a pirate chambermaid and twirling a parasol through a lecture. She prepared tea for herself on the little desk. It was fucking hilarious. One of the other students literally shat themselves laughing. I've started scheduling 6 extra seminars a week just to give her the chance to appear and fuck things up more. It's amazing."

Doctor Quizzingford: "Yes, you can't get rid of her. I'm partway through writing a book about the inner workings of her mind. It's quite fascinating how stupid she is. I've only seen this level of aggressive stupidity once before, and that was in a lobotomized squirrel."

Mr. Poshmeister: "What if we just give her firsts across the board? The added confidence will probably make her say even more dumb shit for us to laugh at. Once she's graduated, we'll work extra hard at being honest, attentive teachers again, but this opportunity comes only once in a lifetime."

Miss Fabernathy: "Agreed. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a seminar to teach. I encouraged costumes. I can't wait to she what the fuck she shows up in this time."

My parents make extra money from being landlords to one house
But that money is insignificantly small and unreliable

The people u should be angry at for being landlords are the landed gentry types like the Queen with her duchies and the Duke of Westminster, who inherited millions of properties from their conquering, bloodthirsty and greedy ancestors

don't slate hardworking immigrants like my parents who came from nothing
Came from nothing but now taking advantage of those less fortunate than them. The Tory dream.

Wait why is she making "flashcards on Carroll"? Is that for her dissertation? Will the flashcards be included with her dissertation as bonus content? xD
Her dissertation is just a block of flashcards written in crayon, held together by a lopsided ribbon with a dead fly stuck to a corner
