omg I am laughing so hard over her "candlestick box"! Candle box, you freaking idiot! And why are you acting like a lightbulb just went off? For someone who is so into antiques and old fashioned living, she doesn't even know what a candle box is? Come to my area...we all have them in our homes. The majority of them are mounted on the wall so mice won't get inside and eat the candles, because candles were so precious back then. Lots of companies make replicas, but if you want an original in good condition, get ready to dish out a couple of hundred bucks. So, suddenly she is an expert at Victorian information and antiques? All she could say was incorrect information from the start. lol

And why the heck is she wearing long sleeves and heavy clothes all the time this summer? Another ED thing? I have lots of friends in the UK and it has been terribly hot for them. They are all walking around in shorts and tank tops. She tosses on layers of clothes and wears her boring hair straight down.

There's a third option. Ruby made it.

Plot twist - 50% of the boolies are Ruby’s accounts. It’s how she still has followers - anonymously bullies herself so she can maintain the sympathy of her minions.

She looks so unhappy in all of her latest instagram pictures - even while smiling. And why is she lighting a candle and getting so weirdly happy over that? Did I miss something?

Smelling candles replaces food.

completely irrelevant but that video reminded me how grateful I am she got rid of the full fringe

 

[Scapier88]

I was genuinely shocked by this video - it was laughable how she legit justified this as a 'detention' (when it so obviously wasn't) and that she actually (supposedly) remembered that many details from nursery. Being such a goody two shoes all her life I think she really had to really, really reach for a time in which she was "bad" and it ended up being nothing more than normal childhood behaviour. I will say she was very cute as a tiny blonde child though.

Don't most nurseries and schools have child locks on the windows and have done for some time or was she at a victorian nursery

That whole video was just so wrong in so many ways but who puts labels in their fridge and why would you do that in your parents fridge?

According to gg it was May 15th 2019 that she uploaded the announcement video, I’m not sure if wayback machine will allow you to see deleted yt videos though. If anyone watched it and remembers it, I’d be very curious to know how she did the announcement / what she said!

She said something about how she wouldn't live there yet but would after uni? She gave a little tour and that was it. Which is like...why would you purchase a house yet then lol. Why not wait until you graduate instead of having a house sit around waiting for you?

Ruby: "Make sure you get a backpack that will fit everything you need, not just an aesthetic one."
Also Ruby: (Visibly struggles to fit her water bottle into her bag because the trendy, aesthetically-pleasing bag she owns several of is far too small for her purposes.)

what gets me about this is, i have one of these rucksacks myself and they come in a lot bigger sizes than the one she has ! you can fit loads in them. she wastes so much money on these things when she could have just bought a bigger bag?????

Feminist Housewife

Having lunch with old friends recently, I was told that I am not very feminist because of being super excited about my new 'Hoover' coming today. It is actually a Sebo but I was raised in the seventies and we called all vacuum cleaners 'Hoovers' back then. My friends did point out that it is a...

Mother Granger's back to blogging, and she's still just as blatant a bullshitter as her daughter.

"After two years of slogging it out doing all the chores at home while my brood work on 'proper jobs' and uni work around me, I have decided that I might as well enjoy my new role and upgrade my tools accordingly."

"Proper jobs"? Plural? Ruby's mum neglects to mention that only one person in the household has a "proper job", and even then, playing Gordon Gekko and dodging the taxman stretches the definition quite a bit.

"I am quite slapdash and happy for the house to look overall clean and tidy."

Spoilers: It doesn't.

"There are spider webs up high in the nooks and crannies, plus plain old free-range ones but housework is time consuming and back-breaking enough when having to do the daily grind of washing up, washing clothes, cooking, cleaning the bathroom, 'Hoovering', mopping, gardening and tidying up without the added job of Spring cleaning too."

There's no evidence that any of those things happen in that house.

But at least we have a reason for why Ruby's house always looks like a squalid, festering swamp: Ruby's mum is so busy thinking about all the things that could potentially be keeping her from cleaning that she doesn't do anything at all.

Her blog is called "What a palaver" ... explains everything perfectly, if you ask me.

I'm kind of flabbergasted over the fact that she mentioned candles as an essential for studying. This just shows how incredibly out of touch with reality she truly is. Most universities, including her own, do not allow candles in rooms because of the fire hazard. Why on earth would she suggest such an object when it was one of the major things she complained about in the past when she was not able to burn candles? I feel like her quarantine time playing at home has turned her into a dunce and the realities of going to university while Covid is back on the rise is going to slap her in the face. Does anyone think she will actually last the semester at Uni, because I don't!

But don't you know, candles are just so aesthetic !! Can't very well live out your fantasies of being a Victorian bookworm without them. Leafing through a book isn't the same without squinting through the flickering yellow light of a candle. Normal lights are so blasé.

 

[MGB01]

when you have to lead a Victorian funeral procession to lead at 6 but a meeting at your private school at 7

pls ignore the fact I just said lead twice i've not been awake long

Absolutely. If you're going to buy multiple bags, buy different sizes for different purposes. Instead she buys all the same size in different colours, then wonders why things don't fit.

 

[emmer_moans]

Why has she brought a filthy, mouldy school trunk and put it on her bedroom floor? What is actually wrong with her!

I can just imagine her dragging that trunk to university and sitting there taking notes on a type writer in the middle of a lecture.

I like the look of the trunk on the outside...but I can almost smell the mouldy lining from here

Also, hoooowwwwww much was that screen protector? £35?!

Sorry to be a bit off topic again, but I've been reading through all the threads and found this video as people were talking about a puppy called Lola, and I just want to say...wtf is this breathing in the audio? I actually had to pause the video and rewind it to make sure it was from this video. Edit- and yes this video is old from 2018 but it's just really strange to me.

 

[as1994]

With regards to the weird porridge, It might be her way of combining breakfast and lunch together so she doesn't have to eat two different meals

Or she's just lost the plot. Have it with more milk and a bit of sugar and call it a day.

 

[CatCafe234]

Honestly I have no idea. My instinct would be to say that she likes the worried/ supportive comments from fans, but she deletes most comments asking if she's OK.

I would guess she gets a bit of a thrill from it being brought up, validation from those who say she’s ok, and reinforcement of her victimhood when her fans gang up take down the ‘bullies’ who try to suggest that what she’s doing (to both herself and to her young and/or vulnerable fans) is not ok.

First time poster, long time lurker found a (possibly dodgy) link to the video where Ruby says she has bought a house:

https://m.bilibili.com/video/BV1J4411L7XA?from=seopage

Omg did she actually go with the angle that the house is like, a way for her to overcome her anxiety of being alone? It's ridiculous

 

[lushstudent]

Personally I don't think she was ever very attached to either of their dogs. I remember the first time she showed herself interacting with the dogs on one of her videos and they seemed to keep their distance from her and didn't even wag their tails. It is pretty obvious she mostly ignored them and only got into walking/playing with them to copy Holly. Spending time with pets probably wasn't productive enough for her. I am sad for the dog, but really not going to get ridiculous about it. I didn't know it, I don't know the family, I have no association with their dogs, and her sad stance is performative, like everything else about her. At this point I distrust her on every level. I don't see why her viewers are so blind to all of this.

She never talks about truly important world events. No mentions of Haiti, Afghanistan, no mention of the gymnastics during the Olympics, regardless of those famous twins. She didn't mention the teams once during it and it ended over a week ago. For someone who reads the news headlines daily, I am surprised she never brings any awareness to her platform. This just is another example of her living in her bubble and disinterest in others, situations in the world, and only occasionally pick and chooses ones that may fit her "aesthetic" mood of the day. She never looks beyond her own stuck up nose. She is so self-centered and self-absorbed. She really has no feelings for others, but cries bully at every negative comment or scribbles down notes for any person who is remotely kind to her, and judges everyone! Her perspective on life is so twisted.

She really does remind me of the characters of The Secret History in this sense. The way that they don't know about key world events - such as the moon landing (if you've read the book, you know the scene). Its very funny when they are fictional, but it is just off-putting from Ruby.

 

[Ilaariaa]

this is so funny to me like all she had to do is turn the bottle around so the word HONEY wouldn’t be so incriminatingly on display

Is she even vegan or is she just pretending for the camera? Maybe it's just another element of the personality she's faking for the Internet.

Many of the things Ruby does are things I do (i'm 21 and a few months older than her) I read childrens books and I love to dress up and cosplay. But I'm still a normal uni student. I don't drink or party and I'm not ashamed by that. Another thing that annoys me with her is that she's 21 and she's not bothered by a job (ye her parents are well off) But she's not getting a job or at least looking for experience. She's spoiled as hell. If she was taken into the real world I'm sure she wouldn't survive and run back to mummy and daddy, like she's done before. I'm still trying to look for a job and honestly I'm not successful but at least I'm trying. Yes I think I'm childish but there is a time and a place for being childish and that's not when I need to be an adult.

Ruby may not have an actual job, but she makes money from YouTube, so it is like a job. In fact, she made enough money to be able to invest in a house when she was, I think, 18, though I've heard that vlog is no longer on her channel. It is currently being rented out, but she bought it thinking she might live in it in the future. However . . . even if she doesn't need to earn money, why not do volunteer work, especially during the summer when she is not taking classes. That would be a wonderful way for her to gain different kinds of experience and meet new people.

OT but that is the biggest fridge I have ever seen in my life !!? (aside from restaurant fridges etc.) Who needs such a big fridge for a family of 4 lol
