Ruby "Sustainable Susan" Granger starts her video with a big "fuck you" to the planet by ditching her usual dark academia candles for a refillable gas lighter. Psst! Ruby! Rechargeable electric lighters are inexpensive and readily available. Oh, right, I forgot - no open flames with electric ones so they don't satiate your lust for arson.
She's also granted her lecturer the courtesy of blurring out their face. You might wonder why she does this for her teacher, but not for the dozens of people she films in libraries and cafes like some stalkery Victorian Jack the Ripper cosplay voyeur.
The simple answer is that all those common peons should be grateful for the exposure in Ruby's videos, while the teacher-student relationship should apparently be kept enigmatic and mysterious for that dark academia aesthetic, like priests in confessional, or Batman wearing a mask to hide his identity from Lex Luthor. Also it's probably wise from a legal standpoint, as this lecturer doesn't want to be associated with Ruby's continued attempts to burn down her house.
Next we're shown Ruby's lecture notes, and a glimpse into her twisted psyche, as she immediately links children to being:
A. A financial burden.
B. A possible food source.
As we begin to wonder how long it'll be before Ruby starts seasoning her porridge with the flesh of missing children in the Exeter area, Ruby distracts us by mentioning that she's annotating all her lecture notes on the Kindle app.
Perlego has Perlegone, apparently, and continues to never be used outside of paid ads, despite Ruby's excited claims that it's the best thing ever and she uses it constantly. "But 'A Chaste Maid in Cheapside' probably just wasn't available on Perlego," you might be saying. It is. Ruby paid £0.75 to buy it on Kindle rather than access it for free on her Perlego account:
After three hours of reading and annotating, Ruby decides to run. But she's not just running from responsibility and adulthood this time. No, apparently she's running for exercise.
She mentions that it's very cold, like Autumn has just appeared from nowhere. This despite Ruby mentioning how Autumn has been right around the corner since last December.
Ruby quickly gives up on her run and films some random strangers on the street without their consent and without blurring their faces, so I took the liberty of doing it for her:
After invading people's privacy, Ruby heads home to facetime her family for her mother's birthday.
Since Ruby was so consumed with all the reading, there was no time for more filming, so we cut to day two.
Ruby glares at the screen with vacant, bug-eyed intensity, while the flickering flame in the foreground foreshadows Ruby's impending burnout (and also her obsession with starting fires).
"And, again, I'm just taking notes using Kindle," Ruby says, as her Perlego account sits unused, gathering digital dust.
Ruby vlogs to apologise for not vlogging, she's just been so, so focused on reading. But not too focused to keep filming herself for this half-assed vlog.
She mentions that Oliver Twist is, at 400 pages, a comparatively long book. Because everything's comparatively long when you exclusively read 25 page children's books.
Ruby rewards herself for her stress and strife by drinking the blood of infants to gain their youthful vitality:
"The only character who comes in that inbetween state is young Master Bates."
Charley Bates. Just call him Charley.
"OF COURSE"
There's some major defensiveness going on, even in her lecture notes. There's massive "OF COURSE I want to give money to charity, but how will the poor learn to pull themselves up by their bootstraps if I keep bailing them out?" Tory energy here.
Ruby's stressing that she has to rush to get everything done in time, despite previously claiming to have done all the reading over the summer and telling everyone she was weeks ahead with everything. Now she's watching optional lectures and critical reading before the actual lecture has taken place? Also rushing to finish Oliver Twist, despite claiming to have read it at least once before.
Ruby's terrible grasp of the English language makes it seem like she was trying to edit a video she hadn't yet filmed. Cue me picturing her assembling non-existent footage from a blank SD card like the video editing equivalent of a child's tea party.
Ruby yet again does her 'sternly pointing at the camera' like she's rehearsing to be in a play about a malnourished Harrison Ford.
She's also wearing her first of many outfits for this "day".
Outfit #2:
Outfit #3:
After a "short run" and 20 minutes of awkward "ballafit" classes, which I assume are like ballet fitness classes but for the mentally enfeebled, Ruby's ready to strain her brain with reading again.
Ruby: "I'm not going to do as much unnecessary reading this year."
Also Ruby: "I'm reading six critical essays, some of them linked by my lecturer, but a lot of them won't be."
Outfit #4:
Ruby just isn't sure what to make of the critical reading regarding the Poor Law and Oliver Twist. Struggles to interpret the text for herself and can't come up with her own thoughts and opinions for any of it, probably because she's not properly read the book yet again, but also because it would out her hard Tory stance on it all, and suggesting that children be used as a cheap source of food and labour might negatively affect her grades.
It's the next day, and Ruby goes to uni, where she continues filming people without their consent and without blurring their faces, while she eats a small shaving of carrot.
Because Ruby's a total moron who puts the barest of bare minimum effort into everything, she managed to include her personal email on-screen for some of the footage. I've done her the courtesy of blurring it, but she's doing herself no favours by doxxing herself.
Note to Ruby: This is why editing doesn't just mean 'Slap some random footage together'. You're supposed to view the footage, check for errors and - god forbid - reshoot if you mess up.
Ruby's Desktop: "Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck."
Ruby:
Ruby continues studying hard for her Life & Death module, researching such relevant information as what the current time in Brisbane, Australia is:
After that, she's pretty tired, so gives up on studying and films some more people without their consent or knowledge:
And then the neglected step-child of Ruby's apps Perlego makes a surprise appearance!
Does this awkwardly shoehorned footage have anything to do with Ruby reading the Tattle discussions about Ruby's blatant non-use of Perlego in all her non-paid videos? Who can say? But absolutely yes. Now give back the charity money, Ruby!
After pretending to read for a while, Ruby meets Blakeney for lunch and a chat, but since someone else talking in Ruby's video would take focus away from Ruby and might actually be interesting content, none of that footage is included.
On the way home, she awkwardly zooms in on a storm drain for some reason...
And because Ruby's gonna Ruby:
"Signs of an Eating Disorder."
At this point, there's absolutely zero way Ruby's unaware of her ED habits, so this is clearly her just blatantly baiting people.
Join Ruby tomorrow for her final university vlog, where perhaps she'll shed some like on what she believes the word "daily" means.

she probably relies on you to find all the editing mistakes lmao
" comment that's just completely transparent and obvious bullshit. But she still does it, and lies endlessly.
|| Final Year Vlog #04
studying & reading outside
Trying to get more attention for sure
