Striking the Matilda pose, 2019 (left) and 2022 (right). It's sad.

It is sad. She might have had cringeworthy content before, and promoting 15-hour study days was never a good thing to do, but she seemed so much more energised and full of life.

I thought this breakfast looked more appealing, but then saw something greenish in top of the image and thought 'god I hope it's not broccoli'. Is it just me? Does anyone else see this? Pea paranoia has reached its peak.

Edit: Think I'm mistaken this time. Phew.

It does look green though, and there’s something that looks like a powder on the side of the bowl. My guess is it’s some stupid crap like spirulina that she’s mixed in with the oats to make them ”healthier”. Another obvious ED meal with spirulina a.k.a. another bs ”weight loss aid”, half a banana, possibly an entire strawberry, frozen berries, a small spoon (it’s one of those long-handle spoons) to make the portion look bigger, a teaspoon of peanut butter, and of course the very fact that she’s had to include all the things in one tiny portion because she was unable to choose and this is the only way she can pretend she’s not depriving herself.

From her new video at around 04:33. The face of PRODUCTIVITEEE, RELAXATION and *slurps tea* EATING WELL, everyone!

Seriously, she looks like such a wreck.

I'm hoping that her time away from uni is actually going to be good for her as she's doing all this intense studying for years and years and she's not done anything else. I'm just wondering if she's going to have a rebrand since her whole personality/presence online is about studying and productivity. I think she's going to rebrand into a writing channel but I fear she is going to do a lot more of those history videos again and get mother Granger to star in them with her as she'll have the time to 'research' for them now.

Ruby seems to be unaware of the fact that you should first learn the rules if you want to break them. She's flailing trying to present something so out of her depth when she hasn't even mastered the kind of work that *is* within her capabilities. I don't know who told this child that she's a genius all her life but they did her dirty, but this is on Ruby for still feeding off that wading pool of school age flattery.

Ruby: "I am quite perfectionistic when it comes to academics."
Also Ruby: (Refuses to learn basic things like spelling, grammar and punctuation.)

girly can't even say percent properly. Seriously though she is one of the worst for promoting toxic positivity and hustle culture just because she goes on a nature walk doesn't mean she doesn't promote doing needless busy work and running yourself into the ground

why does it lowkey look like John Lennon

Doesn’t her Dad look a little like John Lennon? If so, I really hope she wasn’t trying to draw a picture of her dad

Ruby doesn’t seem to have much of an eye for clothes and suffers from that thing of thinking that anything that is ‘old’ works for any period, which is odd given her supposed interest in history. You can see she’s trying to develop her personal style but just goes a bit overboard and puts way too much mismatching stuff together. She’s going for that eclectic vintage style but she just ends up looking like she’s been mugged by an Oxfam donations bag. It’s a shame as she does have some nice pieces but she ends up wearing them all at the same time and it’s too much.


It’s very 90s Home Counties wedding …

Yeah she really doesn't know what looks good on her. It seems she's striving to make the wrong choice at any turn when picking out her outfits

 

[cheesecakes]

I'm shocked that the universe didn't collapse in on itself with that much smug, entitled narcissism in such a confined space.

Too soon?

pls jack would be so much more bearable if he stopped hanging around the toxic twosome

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

my family sometimes does this when we had a really big lunch and everyone is still full. it does look like very small portions tho soo yeah not sure if it’sa good idea to post it like that (especially with all her other ed baiting incidents)

Yes that's what I'm thinking of! I assume she must not be totally against caffeine because she does drink breakfast tea and Earl Grey etc rather than purely herbal teas.

i bet she simply doesn’t know they have caffeine. that or it’s not the caffeine itself but the „don’t have caffeine after whatever p.m.“ she was once told at school and religiously followed. after all she needs some content so always up for some drama

 

[figgypud]

Here’s a sample of the type of work she submits. I feel like a graduating English student ought to be able to distinguish between ”cite” and ”quote” and use a simple expression like ”in spite of”/”despite” correctly.

Is this the critical essay she was talking about? Are they usually organised with headings (unless this is just for her use as she writes and she's going to get rid of it)?

She seems to be doing a lot of retelling and summarising, something the tutors on my English Lit course routinely remind us isn't needed in our essays and it wastes valuable space for analysis.

The breakfast looked rather good and I was amazed that she was eating a rather normal-sized portion but she added the peas to it. I find the forcing herself to smile in the morning to be rather deranged, any idea if it actually works? I didn't like how ASMR-ish that video was with the loud sounds.

You didn't like the "ASMR" of her practically ripping her hair out of her head with a brush? Stop being a bully

That's how we normally make garlic bread or bruschette in Italy, you rub a clove of garlic cut in half over the bread with a little bit of olive oil.
But why would you serve it with the raw garlic still on it if it's not intended to be eaten?
It's not in Ruby's nature to look up actual recipes, I still think she just took "garlic bread" literally. I mean she's shown herself eating whole cloves of garlic in her food before.
Maybe it's a health thing. I've heard extremely old people mention eating raw garlic everyday when asked about their "secrets" for health and longevity

This is giving me flashbacks to an old Holly Gabrielle video where she ate a whole raw garlic clove to cure a teeth infection lol

 

[xoxoxo13]

I say good on her for having it done I didn't expect she'd be able to with how she looked in her vlogs... it looked like she was headed for a nervous breakdown.

that was probably kept off camera
but it's coming, as soon as she gets her grade.

This! The obstinate refusal to do the bare minimum. (Then again, that's our Roobee in a nutshell.) I don't know why she thinks it's acceptable to not even try to find out how the name is pronounced, and it definitely speaks to an almost imperialist mindset. Similar to the handful of times she's referenced a book not originally written in English - she'll say the name of the translator rather than the name of the author, because obviously foreigners don't matter. If anything, they should be grateful that someone has bothered to translate their feeble efforts into English.

(I'm not at all familiar with Einaudi's music, and sadly, thanks to Ruby, it's entirely possible I never will be. She's got the reverse Midas touch.)

Yes, I remember her doing it to authors as well. She really is unaware that there is a world outside the english-speaking one it seems.

Off topic: Einaudi (lol)
I think he became really famous for doing the soundtrack to 'The Intouchables' which is an amazing french movie and the OST fits it so beautifully. It's also the movie Omar Sy became internationally renowned with, I would highly recommend it. (And it has absolutely nothing to do with productivity or studying or twirling in fields)

 

[Griftwood]

Was just rewatching some old nonsense and had to take a screenshot of a particularly unsuccessful freckle rendition You can see these from the moon (Am I alone in this? To me, there’s just something particularly cringey about drawing on freckles, especially when you’re pretending to not wear makeup.)

 

[xoxoxo13]

Ok I know this is just a stupid little thing, but it irks me how she put the yogurt right next to the muffins STILL in the paper cups! Look at the one at the top, half of the cup is submerged in yogurt . That is the right way to get the cup all soggy and have it tear and stick to the muffin. Have fun picking soggy sticky paper pieces from your food

It's because she won't eat it, it's for show.

 

[Mediamusings]

Spoiler: TW ED talk

when she comes home she throws half a sandwich in the trash

I noticed that too. Oh and she also "completely forgot to film" when she had her dinner.

 

[Auga]

Maybe I'm the exception here, and I'm not a fan of strapless dresses myself, but I think she looks lovely.

 

[mooncat]

okay i got a one week holiday rn does anyone else feel like going on a trip to the rich and filthy and cooking a real meal for ruby rather than fucking oats in tea? and why is this stressing me out so much
