Ruby Granger #15 Dustcore

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.

FEMINISM IS WHEN NO PINK HOOVER??

Wow, you can really see why Ruby is completely incapable of thinking any deeper than surface level into any important topic (tbt to holocaust = bullying).

I was rewatching Ruby's old Hermione videos and one that really struck me was How To Study Like Hermione Granger - it it, she says things like "study solidly without breaks", "don't ask your teacher for help [...] even if it means spending another hour on it", "never let anyone tell you you're doing too much". This is obviously very dangerous advice to be giving to a young, impressionable audience, and recommends damaging thought patterns and behaviours. I know this video was posted years ago and I think she's grown and realised a lot of this advice is harmful and misguided, but surely she should take the video down? it really doesn't sit right with me that it's still up...

She didn’t just give The Famous Five 2 out of 5 stars omg

I used to read my parents’ old Famous Five books when I was a kid and I LOVED them.

Christ this is ridiculous. Honestly though aside from how utterly clueless Ruby is about the real world, the thing that strikes me is how different she is. Obviously she looks healthier, but hearing how positive and excited she is about moving out and feeling comfortable living on her own is just kinda sad when you look at her behaviour now. She really has regressed quite seriously.

Gonna watch the new video and take a shot whenever Ruby mispronounces something, wish me luck

Thing is though, I don't see Ruby being a perfectionist. Like maybe she likes to present herself as one but when you look closely none of the things she does resemble perfectionism in any way. Everything is half assed and poor quality. Everything. I'd say her problem is more of thinking she's better than everyone else and special golden child when it's very visible she's not. As a result she does shit job at everything cause she believes she's amazing at everything and her clueless followers encourage her even more into thinking she's all that.

If Ruby is smart, which she rarely is, she will never move into that cottage. She was an adult when she shared it, talked about it, bragged about it, did a video that showed inside and outside. And it wasn't hard for people to find out the exact address. Without thinking, the woman who is afraid to walk beyond her parent's backyard showed the internet her future home. She has a huge following. Who knows what crazy people are out there watching her every move who, if she moved in there, would show up at her door, stalk her, etc.. Seriously, though, this is a good example of the over-sharing she and so many YouTubers do. They are so full of themselves and desperate for "content" they never think about what they are doing or what parts of their life they should really keep private for a myriad of reasons, safety being first. Hopefully she does read this forum, because she made herself a target and ruined that place for herself. Wise up, Ruby. You are not as smart as you thought, are you? Dimwit decision.

There's a third option. Ruby made it.

Fourth option - it’s Marfa.

Ruby's lessons in filmmaking and editing:

• Approach your videos like an essay you didn't prepare for or research. Insert many rambling asides and meaningless quotes. People will be so distracted by the impromptu history lesson that it'll take them a while to realise you wasted a lot of time saying nothing at all.
• Never shoot a second take of anything ever. Filmed yourself trying to put fountain nibs into small tin yet can't get them to fit? Keep the shot in anyway. That video is valuable padding to kill runtime!
• Shoot 20 minutes of B-roll. Use and reuse it for endless hours of videos.
• Video production? More like video producti-off. Proper editing will take up valuable time that could be spend thinking about or talking about yourself. Simply do a rough, blind edit while distracted by other things, like yourself and all the things you're entitled to.
• Awkward, horrendous audio of tradespeople shouting and banging in the background of your video? No problem! Don't bother with another take, or laying score in place of the bad audio. Keep all the aggressively distracting noise in, this will show people that you regularly mingle with the working classes your parents employ and don't even yell at them or have them fired (Not on camera, at least! ).
• The sun is nature's lighting. Use it always, even when it only lights you from behind and makes you look like a dead-eyed, crypt-dwelling zombie.
• Clear video titles? Pssh! Titles are merely a vague guideline - the actual video contents should be a mystery to all who click on the video, like watching a video about antique sustainable stationary and hearing someone talk at great length about the virtues of their favourite modern disposable highlighter pens and their new iPad and Apple Pencil covers.

Ruby's lessons in sustainability:

• Laptops burn electricity and could be redundant in 3-5 years. Instead, use a small forest's worth of paper blotting ink just to prepare to start thinking about writing.
• Waste card writing out twee quotes about stationery even though you're narrating said quotes for your video. So aesthetic!
• Waste paper typing needless things with typewriter. So vintage!
• Use an abundance of pointless paper planners and to-do lists while using digital planners to duplicate all the same information. So productive!
• Make sure to buy a tonne of disposable ballpoint pens alongside your fountain pens.
• Enjoy writing on paper? Be sure to waste as much paper as possible doodling and testing your ink pens and then just use your iPad, which you've dressed up like a notepad.
• Order numerous things you don't need online with the fastest delivery option possible, to ensure as much unnecessary labour, vehicle fuel and packaging is wasted.

Ruby's lessons in health and hygiene:

• Eat almost nothing. A single Love Heart will tide you over until your next small meal in three days.
• Buy things filled with mould. Don't buy a new trunk, or even a clean one. A mouldy, disgusting trunk has history, and a story to tell, like that time it was home to a decomposing corpse for several months.
• Never change your bedsheets.
• Never clean your home.

Ruby's lessons in socialising:

• When you show up to class dressed like you just stepped off the Oregon Trail and open your mouldy steamer trunk to take out your typewriter, ink pots, blotting paper, spare bonnet and abundance of other writing utensils, you'll be the talk of the class!
• You'll also take so long getting set up that the class will be extended by 2 hours, which will give you extra time to get to know your classmates.
• Asking your seat neighbours to use their desk to store all the things you don't have room for will be a great icebreaker!
• If anyone hasn't noticed you by the time the lesson starts, then each deafening CLACK of your poorly maintained typewriter will be sure to get their attention when they cower in fright at the sounds of what they assume is gunfire.
• Lie constantly. If your prospective friends aren't impressed by your fictional adventures, simply invent much grander ones.

One of the worst things Ruby ever did was share about her buying a cottage. For the average student, and even above average person that age, they are usually financially struggling, have loans and can't even afford a car, let alone a house. Nor do they want the responsibility of one. Even if I had had the funds back then, there is no way I would have bothered with the concern of home ownership and all that it entails. I just wanted to enjoy college life and my last years of being a student before being thrust out into the real world. I knew there would be plenty of time to worry about fully adulting. I was not ready nor interested in such responsibilities at the time. No normal young adult would be. For her younger audience it was much like a game....another "let's pretend" from Ruby. Let's pretend to be home owners and decorate and imagine being alone, etc.. Hence the backlash it received and would continue to receive if she ever brought it back up.

I find it all in poor taste considering since then we have seen her run out of her parent's home like a scared chicken because she heard a noise and keeping her phone with her when walking around the backyard so her father could keep tabs on her location. Over and over again we have seen her play, play dress up, play roles, pretend, act like an idiot. Still nothing about that driver's license. Not working. Ran home quickly before quarantine was even in place. Doesn't socialize with people, has a very small amount of "friends", most which seem to be just trying to promote themselves and their channels through each other. None of it feels valid to me. Her being alone in a home, even if it were on her parent's property, wouldn't go off well! She isn't ready for anything in the real world....she may never be. It is pathetic.

And yes, the money. I am sure her parents co-signed to ensure mortgage payments. It is now probably sold or being rented off all the time. But why bother to glue yourself to a specific area when she doesn't even know when she is moving out or what she plans to do for a job and where that job will be located! She will be living under her parent's roof forever. The plain and simple fact that financially she is in a very different situation than her viewers just disconnected her even more from them. I don't believe she is spending any time there. Nor do I believe she could handle it on a regular basis....probably not even overnight. She is too afraid of the monsters she had "pretended up" under her bed!

From the newest video: ”That doesn’t mean it’s not going to be a mindful, restful day though, because I think you can coincide productivity with that kind of happiness.” Here’s a twelve-point term for you, Roobee: intransitive verb. Look it up Hint: ”coincide” is one of them.

For the sake of the entire publishing industry, I hope she isn’t still considering pursuing a career as an editor. And again, sorry Exeter, but I’m really questioning her grades when her grasp on grammar seems tenuous at best. (Unless she’s going for Shakespeare-level innovation? Come to think of it, she HAS introduced us to a number of words we’ve never heard before, such as ”francious” and ”alamac”. Using ”coincide” with an object is not a huge leap from there.)

The porridge looks like someone chewed it up and spat it back out.

Ruby gives the camera a death stare while she sits in her massive living room (music room? whatever you want to call it) with all the curtains and shutters closed, (which can I add are massive.) Could be avoiding the tax man after receiving all the money from the holocaust memorial. Ruby if you see this, we haven't forgotten.

Ruby gets lost in her massive garden, while trying to find a courgette (wasn't paying attention might have been something else) which she planned to mash in with her oats *as seen in first picture*

She looks stressed and genuinely lifeless and unhappy researching for dissertation topic. I can't see it ending well if she ends up not being able to go ahead with what she chose.

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!

Out of curiosity, I did go on the Waybackmachine and there are only 7 saves of her channel. None of them are in may 2019 so you can't find the deleted video. If you search hard enough someone probably has a reupload somewhere. Found this gem though

Hi, thanks snom4444 and gossipguy for replying to me. I understand that you thank Ruby's busywork is inefficient. However, my problem is that gossipguy said it took her an "hour" to write the timetable she showed when we have no idea how long it took her. I don't think that's reasonable because you shouldn't accuse her of things you don't know to be true, even if you suspect them based on past behaviour. Otherwise there is misinformation about her on a publicly accessible forum.
She may have shown poor time management in previous videos, but she did not show "atrocious time management" at all in this video like gossipguy claimed - you can have your suspicions, she could have done so in the past, but like anyone she is "innocent until proven guilty" or it just becomes unfair or could be lying.

holy fucking shit it actually happened
also I love her saying that she hasn't been lent any money for it and that she paid for it with YouTube money
like the fact that her parents are well off didn't have anything to do with her having the time and resources to make dodgy videos on youtube

New masthead for the Pumpkin Productivity website. Spot the obvious missing apostrophe.

Also the phrase 'sell out' has pretty negative connotations. 'Best-selling' would have made more sense.

”My first property” really grated on me. Congrats, Roobee, you were born to privilege and you’re going to continue in your privilege, oblivious to the real world, like the little tory your parents have made in their image. Go ahead and buy a second one, why don’t you, as long as the youtube cash is still rolling in.

It's very possible that she already owns more properties, but after the reception of that video she decided to keep quiet about them.

I love that someone posted in the comments of her recent video that the trunk looks mouldy and gave her tips on how to clean it xD
