Does that board really qualify as thinspo? Serious question, because there’s hardly any pictures of bodies on there. Just lots of green food, smoothies and women with face masks. Looks more like wellness/health/performative self-care to me.
yeah no it’s not like a thinspo board or anything. just from my experience it’s the kind of thing that relates to a negative relationship with food and just generally idk not good in my eyes to have such idealisation of “clean” eating and the bodies that are shown on there when you know you have a young audience?? idk if that makes sense

I'm surprised no one mentioned her taking money from the NHS during the c crisis. Her hands are not a good advert for hand washing!

I was going to rattle off a full list of her misdeeds, but after doing a mental checklist of all the questionable tit she's pulled I needed a lie down.

Ugh it looks so gross and ugly. Stuff is full on falling off. But what did I expect.

I really don’t understand why keep it public when she is fully aware of the criticism re. ed triggering stuff she was told about many times, not to mention other weird stuff she pins. Idk I’m not a public person and still keep my boards private lol

Is anyone else just desperate to read a few chapters of her book? She's now at uni and can't possibly still be writing her characters as if they've walked out of an Enid Blyton novel surely..... surely??? Will we be surprised with a same sex relationship in this book? Will people be drinking and stuff like that? Will there be boys? If there are, will they actually be regular dudes or will they be wearing top hats and repeating "I say, old bean!" Who knows?

Oh god, there are so many things it's hard to keep track. :ROFLMAO: I forgot about the undeclared ads too. How on earth does she create so many controversies on a channel that's mainly about tea and twirling in fields? Maybe that's her talent that we're all overlooking: creating drama where there should be none.

I think we should stop for a moment and reflect.

I don't know whether it's been discussed before on Ruby's threads as I'm new to her but do we think Ruby might be asexual? I've watched a few of her videos and there has not even been the tiniest hint that she has any sort of sexual feelings about anyone or anything, ever.

Her agent will definitely be coaching her to include commercially-friendly elements seen in other YA lit, but Ruby's never socialised with anyone who's not a privileged girl/young woman, most of whom she's related to. She definitely won't be able to write a diverse cast of well-rounded or even remotely realistic characters on her own.

We'll get a selection of familiar archetypes stolen from all the YA books she's suddenly interested in skim-reading.

The brief sample she showed does reveal that the characters of this Dark Macademia YA murder-mystery are just entering Year 10, so around 14-15 years old.

I know the tropiest YA tends to make all their teens super precocious and verbose for their age, and teen TV has conditioned everyone into thinking all teens in entertainment have to look and act like 25+ year olds, but yeesh. Ruby will be writing a YA story in which the stock characters are in situations far too mature for their age, from the perspective of someone who never progressed past the mental age of 13.

This is going to be a mess. I can't wait.

This has to be Stockholm Syndrome.
At least if she ever gets the book published it'll be failure on a much more public scale than she's ever been used to before, and something new for everyone to cringe through and roast mercilessly.

I'm not sure I can take two years of the same old daily routines, ticking clocks and staring at laptops from her before then though.

Idk if this is allowed to say but I almost definitely think that Ruby is gay. Not only because of the close female friendship but also because of the way she fantasises about other female friendships in her writing/reading, as well as her obsessive valourisation of femininity and very feminine fashion/media (yes this can be an early sign). Like there are clearly no men in her inner world. I feel like she likes fiction/aesthetics based around little girls because obviously girls don't have boyfriends at that age, so no danger of having your quasi romantic best friend snatched from you... I don't think she's even out to herself, but I can see her in five or so years with a low-key female partner and I honestly think she would be much happier if that were the case.

For all of Ruby’s planning and organization, I’m surprised her long-term thinking skills are quite poor.
