Ruby Granger #15 Dustcore

[threeSMEGfridges]

Or buying the strap attachments!

fjallraven do say the classic isn’t suitable to carry a laptop in all the time. The laptop one has a zippered padded laptop section and can support the weight better.

I’ve put my laptop in mine briefly to carry in the car; but I wouldn’t use it as a laptop rucksack at Uni with books etc aswell

So going back to the yearly planner - how stupid is it to release a yearly planner a week AFTER Christmas, where everyone who regularly uses a yearly planner will most likely have been given one as a gift?
Obviously Ruby makes stupid decisions all over the place, but her production company just sit back and let it happen? Have they just given up on her totally?

It's a toss-up who's more to blame. Sixteenth have taken the reins on organising and manufacturing, and have clearly opted for the cheapest, sloppiest design, product lines and marketing possible to maximise quick profits for themselves.

But equally, Ruby signed off on all that, and happily put her name to a personalised brand she doesn't care about the quality of. She has no excuses.

damn that means she didn't read our grammar comments from the other day

Genuine question, because English isn’t my first language -isn’t “very favourite” like an idiom? I’m pretty sure I’ve heard it elsewhere and if you google it, it does come up in language pages as something that exists/is used. I thought it was a way to emphasise further that you really like something?

She just lies about what she reads, drops random ratings on books because she knows she can't give everything 5 stars without even her fans raising an eyebrow (although I'm sure some would comment "You can tell Ruby's a true bookworm because she loves every book!) and now avoids leaving reviews because it would highlight that she didn't read the book in question (like her infamous Call Me My Your Name review).
[/QUOTE]

I missed discussion about her review of Call Me By Your Name so just went to read it and…mind blown. How can she be an English student and book lover when her sentences are just random words (questionable in being actual words) put next to one another?

Wow what fresh studytuber hell is this on my tiktok fyp today?
A 9am-9pm study with me session during summer? Pure Ruby vibes
So many comments are calling her out like ‘IT’S SUMMER WHAT ARE YOU DOING, GO TO THE BEACH!!!!’

Is she based in the UK? I'm studying all day these days because I have an exam in September. It's fairly normal in my country to spend August studying because universities hold an exam session in September

 

[NorthernValkyrie]

I'm on mobile so I hope the link is good enough but just thought I'd share a video that comes up if you search Ruby Granger on tiktok. With the username I like to think that Ruby made this POV of Snape being her dad

Snape being the father of R Granger would fit in well with her current love of dark academia I wonder if she's read some of the Snape fanfiction that's out there

 

[LarmeKeiLover]

loads of people have been reading this book recently or putting it on their tbr. the "public shamings" it is about are also much, much bigger scale than anything ruby came ever close to experiencing, so i'm not sure what you are wanting to say?

Ahh I see, I misunderstood the actual book and thought she was relating due to her having to currently keep deleting comments because of recent behaviour (and maybe this read if she reads it) I didn't realise it was a popular book. My bad!

 

[CleverLittleThoughts]

I lasted 6 minutes in and then said "F" this. "Look at how beautiful this book is!" "Look at this cover!!"

Wow...so very, in depth. Seriously, Ruby. You are screwed up. Please learn to read correctly and pronounce basic words. It is positively exasperating how rudimentary your gibberish is!

 

[Arya2231]

As annoying as she came across in that video, she did actually sound more intelligent and mature than she does now.

Yes...she is developing backwards

Can we talk about the sheer waste of time, energy and soul you lose constantly wanting to be productive? Why is it so deeply important to always be doing something? Why can't the mind and body rest and not see it as a waste of time? Why is the waste of time a problem when time itself is a construct? Why is the need for structure so strict, so absolute that not having structure creates panic so acute that something must be found to do to breach the gap?

It must be exhausting to be a person like Ruby. I just got done watching a reading vlog she did in July 2020 where she read five books in a day and she is berating herself because she slept for two hours longer than she intended to. She clearly needed the sleep and she couldn't even allow herself that necessity without it being a thing to be commented on. I can't really see how you can read and properly digest so many books in a day either but that's a discussion for another day.

One video I'd love her to make is to throw away the lists and notes and just be. Do nothing.

Force herself to relax. Get her nails done. Do a face pack. Let a deadline pass without submitting anything. Be late. Catch a train and get off at a random station and see what's there. Paint. Read a trashy romance. Try something she's never even tried before and laugh if she can't do it. Watch a movie that deals with some really grown up stuff and see it through. Go and find some clothes more suitable and fashionable and see how that feels. Start a conversation with a total stranger. Challenge herself in ways she never has before.

I'm just thinking out loud but I'd love for Ruby to throw off those shackles and dance in the rain occasionally, you know?

I know Holly Gabrielle made a video like this a while ago, where she just watched Netflix in bed all day (I didn't watch it, so can't comment on if she actually ended up following through or not), but I really want to see what Ruby's take on such a video would be. I would genuinely be fascinated to see what she does, and what her take on an "unproductive" day would be

Nah this outfit has sent me

Isn't it called Picnic AT Hanging Rock?
Not 'on'
I read it, saw the movie and have also been to the actual place (Hanging Rock)

More clips... in this case, some forced smiles from last video.
View attachment 721130 View attachment 721131
Dec 2019 and Aug 2020 ( in my opinion genuine smiles and relaxed expressions)

That forced smile looks so sad. It’s almost as though she feels sick, which she probably does if she’s drinking a lot of water on a near-empty stomach.

Supposedly July 28th. She said winners would be contacted directly, which is always a dead giveaway that nobody will win anything and it's a marketing scam.

yeah 🥱 this could defs be more her marketing team but if that was me i’d be yelling at them to get the winners out. even if they are contacted directly she needs to at least post a story with the two winners tagged so everyone knows lol

 

[neina]

i realise Amazon is problematic however you can get noise cancelling headphones or earbuds for about £50 from brands like tao tronics. Don’t need blooming BEATS

Haha, luckily Amazon barely works in my country. I'll look up the brand though, thanks for the recommendation!

I used to be one of those people who were all precious about their books and thought writing in them was akin to sacrilege, but... it's just paper. It's the contents that are important, and if any kind of physical interaction with a book helps the owner have a better and more profound reading experience, then the book is serving its purpose no matter what it looks like. And unless you are intending from the start to pass the book on to someone else, it should be yours to do with as you please.

We all know Ruby would never donate that book anyway, it will sit on her bookshelf gathering dust until the next time she rearranges her room, so she might as well exercise some critical thinking and make some notes on it.

Thanks for the insight! I guess its just the shops&libraries that I've stumbled upon are very picky like this. I guess you are right though, it is only paper afterall. I do buy used books a lot too and I don't mind the traces of previous owners because I understand that this is what I'm going to get from a used book. I make notes in my books too, but I either do them in pencil or stick them in with sticky notes if its a longer annotation. Although I still can't bear using permanent pen and markers maybe I'll be a bit more understanding :') . And you are definitely right about Ruby, she's going to keep them all to stay faithful to her dustcore aesthetics.

 

[Rosetintedarchitect]

label things' - school jumpers, pencil cases, etc

your parents do this in year 6 and then you stop after that

mug of peas

fruit would’ve be a nice study snack but peas?? come on love, it’s only nice with a roast dinner.

 

[snom4444]

Sorry just catching up been on night shifts and small human has been poorly luckily not covid just a bug from nursery

We use to rent in what was classed as a one of the poshest parts of Birmingham and paid 650 a month for a two double bedroom flat with a private garden
Now I live in a glitter hell

fam your contributions to this thread genuinely always make my day You'll be finding glitter in odd places for the next few years! And I hope your little one feels better soon!

Yup, it's not even fun cringe content anymore since it's just the same thing over and over with even less effort than the time before.

This sums up her content so well. She's got such a huge audience, full of people who look up to her as an authority figure, and this is the best content that she can bring herself to produce.

 

[macaroon]

How can she still have all of those followers? Some other youtubers who put up much better content (Lydia Violeta for example) have less than half of her followers, which doesn't make sense

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.)

I have to say the Kanken is remarkably comfortable. However she tries to carry too many heavy things like a laptop in it. She’s have been better off getting the laptop version which also has padded straps.

 

[cukiesandcreme]

76 for second year overall, which is a solid mark for a UK humanities degree, but she seemed disappointed. Mostly mid-80s for seminar participation marks, and mid-low-70s for exams.

Huh I’m so confused, she got a first for second year? But from the info I glean from these threads, she’s really not high-70s standard??

Does Exeter grade differently or something

 

[Griftwood]

She would have at school though, the school she went too doesn’t just let them do nothing when the other kids are at sport

Doing PE with the other kids doesn’t really translate to any skill though, does it? What I’m saying is that the only thing she seems to have pursued is studying.
