Hi, welcome to the thread!New here, hello!, but I was just wondering why she doesn't try to get back to her schooldays in the sense that she could maybe work at some school (preferably her own old school, because that appears to be the stuff of magic to her) as a teacher or matron or whatever, or at some other boarding school? Trying to think like Ruby does, difficult but still, this would actually make sense... She could pretend to be a schoolgirl for ever...
Or, would this require too much real life planning and adulting?
No way she’s taking a lower paid job like a teaching assistant at her old school, she earns far more via YouTube/InstagramNew here, hello!, but I was just wondering why she doesn't try to get back to her schooldays in the sense that she could maybe work at some school (preferably her own old school, because that appears to be the stuff of magic to her) as a teacher or matron or whatever, or at some other boarding school?

But this is why she started YouTube, she has made £££ off it, why would she slump it with the riff raff?! Plus she owns her own home which a tenant has been in so she hasn’t had to pay anything for thatTrue, I mean I'm not saying this would be a good idea because she'd run into all kinds of problems that her childlike brain can't comprehend right now (like money, actual responsibilities, taking care of kids, earning a teaching degree, horrible protocols...) but I meant from her point of view something like this might make sense
Also, I just came to this idea because I can't really imagine her in any job, you know? What do you see her doing, if she'd work at all and not just live off mummy and daddy's money for ever?
Again, true. Guess it's just hard for me to imagine people actually live like this and don't have to workBut this is why she started YouTube, she has made £££ off it, why would she slump it with the riff raff?! Plus she owns her own home which a tenant has been in so she hasn’t had to pay anything for that
Even if you take money and the need to work out of the equation, why wouldn’t you want to contribute to society or at least have others to talk to outside of mummy and daddy? Can you really be that self absorbed???Again, true. Guess it's just hard for me to imagine people actually live like this and don't have to work
She was already reading books about eating disorders/explaining small portions to her viewers before, but it wasn’t until she came home that it got worse.Was it the pandemic that made her regress or had she started with childlike/ED behaviors before it?
She took it off her grid but it’s still in her reels, together with the previous one where she co-opts innocent chickens into her melodramatic posing.Looks like she deleted her grimacing Insta post of her trying to convince people to buy online theatre tickets.
100%. I've taught in both state and private schools and the posh kids can be just as much a handful as the poor ones, but in different ways. With private school kids you've got a sense of entitlement and 'you are beneath me' and 'but Mummy says I can do whatever I like' that isn't normally present in state school kids. PLUS the parents in private schools can be a nightmare too, in a "we are literally paying your salary so you have to do what we want" sort of way. Rubicon would crumple instantly.Ruby could only cope with a job in teaching if her class was the one out of Anne of Green Gables. Both state and private school systems would eat her alive in different ways.
Yes, months before the pandemic she was putting the anorexia books on her Goodreads, calling attention to the books in her videos, filming herself eating only half a bagel, and memorably filmed herself going out to dinner with her family and, when they ordered dessert, she made a point of asking for a side of vegetables instead. It was like how a non-anorexic might (wrongly) imagine someone with anorexia would act. And very reminiscent of how Ruby/Erimentha (again wrongly) thought people would recognize her as a child prodigy if she memorized lots of stuff, always put her hand up in class like first year Hermione, reminded the teacher to set homework, and sneered at those who were interested in tv and make-up.She was already reading books about eating disorders/explaining small portions to her viewers before, but it wasn’t until she came home that it got worse.
