"No point dwelling," she said, as she posted an Instagram story dwelling on it.

Once again Ruby thinks people will be VARRY IMPRASSED that she wrote SYO MOCH more than required, when this just shows yet again what a disorganised, time-wasting dunce she is.



"Outfit of the day" - Posts an outfit from days ago. Sure, Ruby, that's how time works.
There's no way to accidentally end up writing 2000 words more than you were supposed to if you actually planned out your essay. 500 words, sure, but 2000 words is absurd.
And idk about you but whenever I have to write something and I end up writing over the limit, it's not like I can just cut an entire paragraph and call it a day, because that paragraph is needed for the overall structure of the essay. The fact that she could just cut an entire section of her essay without affecting the result tells me it had nothing to do with the rest of her essay and was actually just unnecessary waffle that she included because she can't select what's important for her argument and what's not

I'm not even convinced Ruby would be happy at Oxford if she got a place. Of course, she'd be thrilled initially, but she would still encounter all the problems she's had at Exeter - stress, disordered eating, socialising out of her comfort zone, homesickness, harmful perfectionism. It might be even worse at Oxford because of the tutorial system where you're grilled by academics who can see through waffle. Then there's the 'small fish in big tank' problem. I think Ruby would find it harder to be the best in her subject and the workload would probably be more intense. We've seen how Ruby responds more to praise and good grades than the actual course content, so there'd be less motivation to keep up if she stopped getting the positive feedback.

Sixteenth "talent" chosen to be embassadors for United World Schools' gala for girls' education. Ruby, whose entire brand has been focused on studying and academia, and who exclusively associates with girl students, is conspicuously absent.

Did she refuse to get involved because this is a charity drive in which she'd have no opportunity to keep the money (like the Ukraine charity fundraiser that she had to be dragged kicking and screaming to do anything for, and even then it was the bare minimum and she looked miserable throughout)? Or have Sixteenth gotten smart enough to keep her far away from any future charity arrangements?

(Also hilarious: She still can't figure out how or when to use emojis, so just duplicated Jade's.)
They're all going to Cambodia so Ruby probably refused to go because she'd be too far away from her parents. I also feel like Cambodia might not fulfil her colonial dream of being a Victorian woman.

Wow I was looking at that wondering which thing looked least appetizing out of the diet crisps, the sad bowl of cress, the basket of uncooked asparagus or the single bottle of wine between 4 people… then I clicked to the next story and I think the winner has to be the plate of toast garnished with whole unchopped cloves of garlic! Who tf eats like this pls 😭

Did Ruby read the words 'garlic bread' somewhere and assumed this is what it meant?

Am I stupid or does the sentence "I'm currently on my first morning walk since submitting my dissertation yesterday" make 0 sense...well yeah? You've only had one morning since submitting your dissertation nobody thought she'd have gone on several morning walks in less than 24 hours

I'm so surprised by her outfit choice as it's not very Ruby! But good on her for not looking like a Victorian child.

Ruby starts her day with a small prayer to the Gods of Productivity.

"Dearest Productivity Gods, please grant me nothing but First grades and the opportunity to steal more charity money. Notion bless me. Amen."

But Ruby remembers that it's kinder to be grateful for the charity money you already stole than to wish for more to steal.

View attachment 1221963

And then she smiles, because she has a lot of stolen charity money.

View attachment 1221964

Ruby continues to not know how emoticons and emojis work and accidentally gives the mention of waking up with a smile a weird, suggestive tone.

View attachment 1221965

Ruby was evidently just grinning at nothing for the better part of an hour, since she claims she woke up at 6:30am, but it's a while after 7am when she gets out of bed to turn off her alarm.

Ruby starts every morning with a breath of fresh air, because breathing in the dust, mold and dirt that permeates every inch of her room overnight must be hell on the lungs.

Her mind must still be on all the charity money she swindled, because she starts grinning like a psychopath again.

View attachment 1221969

After bodychecking with some morning stretches, where Ruby mentions that she's "fallen out of the habit of doing yoga", she brushes her hair so violently that you'd think it owed her charity money. She's audibly snapping strands of hair with her brush and it sounds painful. Ruby's already losing her hair through malnutrition, but she's helping her eroding hairline along by straight-up yanking it out at the root.

View attachment 1221970

The end result is a hairline as patchy, full of glaring holes and painful to look at as her videos.

Not satisfied, she angrily twists her fucked-up hair into a bun and is apparently ready to start her day.

View attachment 1221971

Ruby grabs a stagnant glass of water that's been gathering dust overnight and chugs it down.

View attachment 1221973

She's once again pretending to read while brushing her teeth, but all she's accomplishing is ruining a perfectly good book. The cover looks new, but the pages are speckled with stains/mold. Ruby spitting all over it for her morning "Oiy'm syoo spashul!" affectation probably isn't helping. This is one of two separate montages of Ruby brushing her teeth while pretending to read in this video.

Remember, Ruby is an avid bookwork who ALWAYS takes care of her books.

After that, it's just ten more minutes of the exact same rehashed shit we've seen in every other video.

View attachment 1221879

Ruby stares at laptops and claims to be REALLY enjoying "STODDYING" while looking so miserable you'd think she were reading a court order forcing her to return the charity money she took.

Ruby waves her eating disorder in everyone's face, lovingly preparing tiny servings of the same 4 ingredients for every "meal" (with peas in Shreddies, naturally). No more than a couple of bites is eaten, and no full, substantial meal is prepared.

The whole video is just the same thing she's shown 5,000 times before, only she looks on the brink of collapse.

It also feels like she's been on Tattle again, because she's fully doubled down on the denial and contradictions while attempting to address and debunk the criticisms from here in the most laughably lazy and unbelievable ways.

Ruby pretends she doesn't actually hate her pets, even though she instantly forgets that one of her dogs died last year (that or she just reused months-old narration). When she's playing with her dog with her mum, she obviously never does this usually and just parrots all the things her mum says and does with the dog.

Ruby: "Breaks are VARRY important!"
Also Ruby: "Breaks should be productive. Here's 95 hours of tasks crammed into one fabricated day, good luck keeping up with me while also taking breaks!"

Ruby: "I ALWAYS loiyke tyoo disinFACT moiy laptop AVVERY noight as part of moiy daily rootineee." (Lazily swabs a couple of patches of her laptop outer shell.)
Meanwhile:
View attachment 1221975

Ruby: "My room is VARRY cold ALL THE TOIYME!"
Also Ruby: (Leaves the curtains on her single-glazed, no insulation windows open overnight to let all the cold air in, so that she can "wake up with the sun"...only to wake up hours after sunrise and immediately open all the windows.)

Ruby: "I need things to be clean. I can't concentrate if it's messy."
Meanwhile:

:sick:

View attachment 1221982

Ruby spends a tonne of time telling us she's always hyper-productive and accomplishes many things all day, and ALWAYS HONESTLY gets engrossed in her work and distracted from the world around her because she's enjoying it SYO MOCH, and she's getting ALL THE WAHHRK done on her dissertation. But she shows no evidence of any of that. Then later complains that she has trouble staying focused on things.

Ruby: "YASS, this video was filmed across tyoo days becoss my grandparents were hyarr and it wouldn't be reFLACKtive of moiy actual day otherwise."
View attachment 1222006

What about every single other daily routine or "day in my life" video that was filmed across multiple days/months? Do your grandparents visit you every single day, no matter where you are?

If she'd been saying from the beginning of these vlogs, "I have a lot of shit to do that I can't film, or things that filming would distract me from, so this is more of a recreation of a day in my life than an uninterrupted record of an actual day" then nobody would've mentioned it.

Instead, she fabricates a timeline where she has 76 hours of productivity crammed into a single day to make all her young, naïve fans jealous that they can't accomplish as much, and will inevitably work themselves sick trying. And Ruby once again addresses criticism with 3% truth, 97% lies. This video is like 4+ days of footage. In the first time she's ever acknowledged filming on multiple days, Ruby admits to only two.

And she's lying to herself, as well.

She complains throughout this video that she finds it hard to concentrate in the afternoon, or can't be productive at bedtime. It's lunacy, and Ruby handwaves her inability to concentrate or stay focused for the majority of the day away as just a sign to switch to different "tahhsks". She doesn't consider the glaring ED-lephant in the room as the root cause of her brain's inability to function or focus.

She doesn't mention her bizarre compulsion to always be at least pretending to be busy (while accomplishing nothing) as a stupidly misguided and toxic thing.

She shows yet again that, alongside the 689 planners, trackers and to-do lists she claims to use, she's going to make another one for overall tasks.

View attachment 1222009

But she makes sure to include things she's already completed so that she can instantly cross them off and reward herself undeservedly to fool herself into thinking she's not floundering, and trick the audience into thinking she's accomplishing big things very quickly.

She's fully committed to childhood regression again, and casually mentions that she goes to say good morning multiple times to her parents in the same two hour morning, as though she's terrified they'll run away the second she leaves the room. Then her mummy indulges her with tea parties in the garden while she dresses like a child.

View attachment 1221987

Ruby confused her "Writing for Children" module with the "Writing to Traumatise Children" module, judging by the nightmare illustrations she shows.

View attachment 1221988

Her book is a Christmas story for kids, but Ruby clearly just drew an alien in a wig:

View attachment 1221993

She aims to hand this in as her final assignment for university and not only pass, but get a first.

View attachment 1222007

And her dissertation isn't looking any better, either, since she's still trying to build it around stolen ideas she's cribbed from Liz Stanley and that AI "let the algorithm do your research for you" app Genei (which she advertises, yet makes no mention of her relationship with the brand or that they're a paid sponsor of her).

View attachment 1222004

It's no wonder she keeps having to rewrite this shit after every meeting with her dissertation supervisor, but Ruby still hasn't solved the core problem that this barely-tangential nonsense has almost nothing to do with English Literature.

And this is why we'll never get another Dissertation Diary. She's still no further ahead than she was months ago.
I know it's a lot of work for you but please never stop posting these! Not only are they hilariously written, but they also keep people like me who refuse to watch her videos up to date!

The irony is pretty poetic. Gazing up at a university building with hair that’s too long looking like a deluded child who thought she could get into oxford, stood beyond the limits of the gate because she was never able to get there…quick get security in! Shut those gates and keep her out!!
My absolute favourite thing about this photo is that Ruby is staring up in wonder at the Oxford University motto: “Fortis est Veritas", meaning "the truth is strong". A compulsive liar, academic cheat and charity thief expecting to get into a university whose motto holds honesty above all else is priceless.

The second-hand embarrassment from her new Instagram reel...

She's trying so hard to preemptively cope with the possibility of getting a low mark on her dissertation.

In what world is this enough for four people? They're just side salads. Did they put rhubarb in charge of organizing this?

I don't disagree but more often than not these sorts of books arent gay mens stories at all. They're usually written by females for females (or for teens), as a female fantasy of a 'cute' innocent gay relationship is like. Heartstopper is an example, as are the Love, Simon books or those Rainbow Rowell books. They all centre on mlm relationships, but have barely any gay or male readers but they do heaps of teen girl superfans. The entire genre of book is sort of fetishising and positions mlm relationships as cute and non threatening for girls to consume.
This is actually really interesting! Someone from my uni actually wrote a paper about straight women consuming mlm fiction and they argued that a lot of women consume this type of media because no woman can get hurt. There is no place for the submission of a woman and thus it’s weirdly freeing. (Obv it is problematic, but I found that really interesting)

Hey y'all I've lurking for a while and couldn't help finally making an account and joining this trainwreck. First, does anyone know how to add Tattle threads to their Goodreads? I read every Ruby thread so I think that equals about two or three classics?

Second, did anyone notice when she tried to insert a clip of her drinking water when she was talking about being sick but it's actually just her tilting a bottle towards her face? She does it twice and then abruptly cuts away

As usual, in her newest video, she talks about privilege like there's a gun being held to her head. And as usual, it pisses me off. How wonderful would it be to just study because you enjoy it? Sure, I love my major, but a big factor in why I chose it and why I push myself to study is because I need a job. I can't just love my subject. Ruby pretends to be recognizing her privilege but doesn't even realize how privileged she is that all she has to do is enjoy studying literature (even though we all know she doesn't). She's well off because of her youtube money and because of her family and will never have to know what it's like to study solely because you need a job to keep your family out of poverty.

Education is a privilege and I agree with that, but she just always seems to say it out of obligation rather than actually meaning it.
