Ruby Granger #24 You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

someone get me a drink or three and I may in fact order these. also, my “tentative plans for 2022” list used to include “maybe write a poem this year why don’t you, it‘s been a while” but my mind is now doing the mental equivalent of a cat accidentally jumping into a full bathtub 😬

That 'About the Author' section is so self-aggrandising. "If prizes were given, it is said that her trophy cabinet would be full" = "I'd be the best at everything I attempted, if I could be bothered".

Some of the marriage poems actually make me sad. If this were my mum, I'd give her a gigantic hug.

Wow and they're not even published under a pseudonym.

OT but is that Death in Her Hands in the background of your picture? I've been waiting for that one to get in at the library!

So this is the magical day where I become Ruby by reading 4 books in one day (finished a relatively short one, a short story published as a book and now apparently two poetry collections)!

Decided to add them to my list for now, I might remove them for aesthetics later, though. 😂

I‘ve had oat milks split in hot drinks before, but that does not seem to be the issue here. I think it might be a combination of the tiniest splash of milk maybe giving it a strange colour, the old tea stains on the mug and bad photography…

Also, why does she never remove the tea bag? I‘m not British, but I thought it was standard practice to brew tea correctly, especially the ones who get bitter otherwise?

Like... Is daddy bones unaware of these words? These poems surely weren't published with the expectation of being read by many, so, I can only assume that, you know, close people would get to read these personal things. They're not even artistically distant from reality, it's just venting at this point, on ruby's mother's part

And Ruby read and compiled this. Idk how I would've felt if I'd found something like this about my parents' marriage (and they're divorced and re-married). Maybe they were happier when they were kids and that also fuels Ruby's childhood obsession?

Recap:

Ruby continues to do all the same deja-vu tit she always does. Her videos are the exact same sloppy mess of timelapse footage, slapdash editing and continuity errors soundtracked by the same four songs.

Her family and uni homes are still in a state of absolute squalor.

She's allegedly hard at work on her dissertation, but the first entry in her 'Dissertation Diary' video series(?) shows zero progress has been made. The first entry was filmed a month ago. We have yet to see a second part.

She wasted a day travelling to Surrey History Centre to look at their Lewis Carroll archives, which she claimed was vital for her thesis. She has yet to shed any light on what the point of this was for an undergrad dissertation or show any footage of her visit, since all that material is readily available online or in collected books.

She's continues lying about everything. Most recent/notable lies:
  • She claims she NEVER wears jeans, but got a pair for Christmas that changed her entire outlook on jeans, but she only wore them because she went to the beach [STERN FINGER POINT]. This despite her owning and wearing a whole colour spectrum of different jeans in different styles for years.
  • She claims she planned, outlined and put together all her references and supporting material for her dissertation from scratch in one hour.
  • She still claims her videos take place in a single day, despite continuity errors and on-screen dates showing they're assembled from multiple days filmed weeks apart.
She's going in hard with making sure there's a clock on-screen at all times in her videos now, as though that will prove the make-believe timescales of her videos.

It continues to prove nothing and only draws attention to Ruby's fabricated portrayal of how she fills her time.

Her videos are filled with more blatant undeclared ads than ever, and every video features at least one shoehorned ad for snack bars in every video, with no mention of them being gifted.

The vanity book club that she started and abandoned almost immediately because it was full of much smarter people who actually read the book have finally given up hope that she'll return. After months of her unexplained absence, they're finally starting to discuss organising Zoom meetings without her.

Waterstones still won't sponsor her, no matter how much she crams embarrassingly desperate free ads in all of her content.

She still hasn't shown any proof that a single penny of the money she took from or pledged to various charities has been paid to them.

What I gather as speculation is that perhaps Ruby was always her mother's favourite and main outlet source for giving love, which results in Ruby having a mostly sheltered life. But I think that they all just need a bit of therapy tbh

Are those TV shows where families swap lives for a month still a thing?

Force these workshy parasites to live a working class life for a while, hopefully they'll learn basic life skills. And perhaps a family with some respect for their surroundings who know the value of money and hard work might keep the Bones' swampy manor of filth clean for a while.

That might have meant Ruby was also her go-to therapist child.

Ruby might also suffer from the 'eldest daughter' fate, where you are expected to be the one who has her tit together and somehow act as the family therapist and the emotional support child, despite being quite fucked up yourself.
