The only readers who deserve to feel like Gods are those who got through 'Erimentha Parker's To Do List'.
"Read Oscar Wilde they say? But wasn't he-? Oh I shan't say the word..."
I got the job six months after graduation. Honestly, I was strongly considering changing career paths because I didn't think I would get an English Lit-related job. I applied to about 40 publishing-specific positions before I got this one... And this doesn't even include all the other writing-related positions that I was rejected from Every. Single. Day. I applied to about 400 jobs before I got this one. (Yes, it was horrible.)
Thanks for the response! I suppose it has the same problems as most graduate industries then. Props to you for being so diligent in the face of so many rejections - that's honestly really inspiring. ^^
She made a big show last year about how
#grateful she was for being able to study The Picture of Dorian Gray in her Victorian module, so she’s at least read the Sparknotes.
people) who obsess over everything British. The accents, “poshness”, tea (definitely Rubes), all (in my humble American opinion) of which seem like narrow stereotypes of Londoners or something of the sort. Don’t ask me why, but over the past few days I’ve watched the two Livestream Q and A’s Ruby has on her channel from five years ago. One particular comment struck me as very odd (mind you, the livestreams are extremely odd to begin with ). She was talking about the clothing brand Boden and said “I love their stuff; it’s so British”. I mean, maybe I’m the crazy one, but I could never imagine myself saying “I love this brand of clothing, their stuff is so American”. Maybe I’m digging too deep on this. Just a funny comment that made me think twice 
Erimentha Parker's notion pages, to-do list, timetable, academic planner, yearly planner, notebook, kindness journal, master to-do list, mini master to-do list, study planner, productivity planner, stress tracker, and meal plan.Erimentha Parker's To-Do List 2: A Most Productive Dickensian Adventure.
Years after Erimentha Parker narrowly survived her savage school bullying trauma at the hands of Joanna (even Ruby's forgotten the name of the bully whose name she couldn't keep straight in the first book), Erimentha Parker is enrolled at Axatar University, which is identical to Exeter University in all but name.
Her brother died between books from a degenerative brain disease; the doctors said his brain was just too small to power his lumbering, uncoordinated body any more.
Ruby writes an entire chapter about how Erimentha was affected by his death, but this is mostly about how inconvenienced Erimentha was by having to attend the funeral when she had so much critical reading to complete.
However, every member of the family personally thanked and praised Erimentha for putting up for her brother as long as she did, and also for her eulogy, which was the most beautiful speech any of them had ever heard, and even made the local news. The eulogy was mostly about Erimentha's many accomplishments.
Ruby does not mention Erimentha's brother by name at any point in this chapter, since she forgot what she called him in the first book and can't be bothered to look it up, and he's not important anyway. He is never mentioned again.
After completing college with a record-breaking 24 A Levels - 23 A*s and 1 A which she got a lower grade for intentionally to stay humble and grounded - Erimentha was offered a place at Oxford. But as much as they begged her and pleaded with her to accept a place, Erimentha rejected Oxford so that she could bestow her wisdom upon students at a lesser school who needed the fruit of her vast knowledge and boundless intelligence that much more.
She's now in her final year at Axatar Uni, living off-campus with her best friend Binkly, who is constantly asking Erimentha for fashion advice and help with her studies, which Erimentha happily does.
Even though Erimentha in her fourth year, she has somehow already graduated three times with five different undergrad degrees, but has chosen to stay on for an extra year to study science, and her final project is a homemade particle collider which she whipped up in a couple of weeks with sustainable, recycled materials she found around campus.
When she turns on the particle collider, Erimentha is hurled back in time! Ruby wastes an entire three page's worth of synonyms describing what the sound of time travel is like before establishing that Erimentha is in the Victorian era.
Here Ruby accidentally copies and pastes an entire chapter from the first book into the sequel. Ruby will later claim that this was intentional - "It's a flashback scene!haha!" - although the pasted chapter is completely unrelated to anything in the sequel. Ruby then changes her story for this erroneous chapter and claims that it's literary experiment to represent the result of time travel in the story. She then blocks anyone who asks further questions.
The next chapter of Erimentha Parker 2 is actually the first chapter again, but with a different chapter number and title.
The chapter that follows is just the month of June from Pumpkin Productivity's 2021 Academic Planner.
After four more chapters of blank pages, the book abruptly ends with a "To be continued..."
When people who paid £17.99 for an incomplete book complain to Ruby, she ignores them for several days before announcing that because the rest of Erimentha Parker 2 was so highly requested, it will now be released as monthly chapters on the Pumpkin Productivity website as a cost of £24.99 per chapter, increasing by £5 incrementally with each new chapter.
The price for the previous chapter will also increase by £10 each month, too, so if you don't buy them right away, you'll pay substantially more for every chapter the longer you leave it.
People who are stupid enough to buy this next chapter wait several months after the release date before receiving a blank lined notebook with a letter from Ruby inviting them to "create their own chapter!" as Erimentha Parker 2 is now an interactive storytelling experience!
I can't find the report button on mobile
Honestly this is what Ruby doesn’t realise. She thinks she’s just gonna waltz into whatever job she wants after she graduates and it’s like no honey, you have no skills and your status as a studytuber is really not as attractive to an employer than you probably think it is.
Tbh, as an American, I can totally imagine some southern-belle type of girl saying “I love this brand, it’s so all-American“Hello! Long time lurker here. This is sort of wildly off-topic, but I can’t help but voice my opinion about something Ruby does/used to do, especially during her Hermione obsession. Ruby strikes me as one of those odd (especially American
On the subject of the "God-complex" - I was listening to the podcast "shelf life" the other night, and the discussion was the life of Stephen Tennant. For this of you unfamiliar with him, he was a famous British aristocrat who was one of the "Bright Young Things" and the inspiration for both Lord Merlin and Lord Sebastian Flyte.
Same here. I got my job (editor at a university) because I've been teaching tutorials at uni for years. In addition, I worked my butt off as a research assistant during my undergrad and graduate degree. There's no way I could have waltzed in as a studytuber.
I was totally born in the wrong era and class.
Stop posting pictures of Ruby’s house, it’s bullying.
Thanks for the tip, that was a fun podcast!
Yes omg I remember seeing it on youtube, they were honestly appalling hahah.
OMG I thought that was Jimmy Savile!
Haha yes! I remember them! Top TV.
