Ruby Granger #26 Ruby Granger is a bad writer

[figgypud]

Ruby's not really that loud in public, especially on her own, only really with Blakeney or when when she's trying really hard to act normal by saying "YEAHHH" loudly but that's hardly her norm. She's not exactly an attention seeker in the traditional sense.

Ruby looks so frail in that picture. The jacket is way too big for her - I get the impression she likes wearing stuff like that because it makes her look smaller?

I'd say she looks like a kid borrowing her mum's clothes, but she has said she does share a lot of clothes with her mum, which probably explains why she looks like a middle-aged Tory councillor any time she tries to dress in something approaching formalwear.

She can fuck right off with that triggering BS. Sorry but I have zero tolerance for Ruby's ED baiting.

 

[gossip_guy]

Has the malnutrition fried her writing skills? I'd hate to know how many words she misused and how many sentences she mangled in her dissertation. She's an English student ffs

The funniest thing is that Ruby keeps trying to claim that her brain functions at its best in the morning.

Nope, I'm in South America. Mental health isn't a priority here.

But I'm assuming since if she's going to therapy she's going private, she could have the means for that. I don't think she's in therapy right now though. Because Roomba knows best and obviously chewing tea is enough to survive.

Ah right. Speaking from personal experience, mental health doesn't seem to be a priority here either. 'Raising awareness' is certainly a big thing, but investing in actual services...not so much.

You're right about Ruby's private therapy, though. She could definitely afford to pay for better/more intensive help. I don't know anything about the quality of mental health services at Exeter, but all universities need to provide some form of MH support to students, whether it's counselling sessions or referral to somewhere else. Obviously Roomba (that's a great nickname lol) is graduating so probably won't be able to take advantage of student MH services. I wonder why she stopped going to therapy. Maybe she didn't feel it was helping? Don't remember if she's ever talked about it.

Haven’t watched the new vid yet but maybe she wouldn’t have to get caught up in ”hustle culture” and the likes if she had decent time management skills, I understand if she had jobs on the side or something but I don’t need to hear abt something that’s quite preventable for the situation/position she’s in as a student if u get what I mean, I probably haven’t articulated it the best tho

 

[Griftwood]

Are we not getting any more ”Mini daily study with my videos”?

edit: lol we’ve seen you using Perlego exactly when you were sponsored by them, you smug, greedy idiot.

There was a big discussion in Eve's thread before she came out as gay accusing her of queerbaiting, which was incredibly frustrating. I think there's an issue of assuming that traditionally good-looking, effeminate women or female-presenting people are straight because that's the way the male gaze is coded. I don't think it does any good to say that Ruby is or is not LGBTQ+, unless she comes out specifically saying she is one way or the other. It's an incredibly personal issue and I wouldn't want to be the contributing factor to forcing someone to come out just so they don't come across as queerbaiting or pretending to be gay when they're not. I do agree that Ruby never before expressing interest in the LGBTQ+ community in any way is telling, though. Also annoying because I would have loved to be at the Heartstopper premiere

Apologies to anyone who brought this up — I had meant to clarify in my post that I wasn't saying that Ruby was definitely straight, but I lost myself in the rambling... What I meant was that I think an event like that should centre LGBT+ influencers. Of course, an influencer can identify as LGBT+ without ever coming out and no one is entitled to know anything about a person's sexuality or gender identity, even if they're a public figure! But in the eyes of the event organisers, Ruby isn't known to be LGBT+, and so they wouldn't knowingly be centering an LGBT+ influencer. I hope that makes sense. I really dislike the idea that someone has to come out if they do identify in a certain way. No influencer owes anyone representation, and to me the idea that coming out is the Be All And End All of the entire experience is heteronormative to me, and more focused on other's reactions to your identity than your own feelings surrounding it. So sorry again if I made it seem like I was assuming Ruby's sexuality — totally not my intention

Ruby continues her unrelenting campaign of stupidity by once again climbing all over her desk to close her curtains even though they're in arm's reach while sat at the desk.

Did anyone else noticed the bouquet of flowers resting on the floor?

 

[StatusWoe]

does Ruby realise having a cup of tea mid afternoon and afternoon tea are different things

Ikr. It's a totally literal interpretation of afternoon tea.

''Can you spit us'' umm...Ruby, unless your followers are llamas, they don't want to spit you.

I wonder what's wrong with her hands to make them so red and swollen.

Could it be psoriasis or some other kind of skin condition?

I know it sounds picky but it rubs me the wrong way when people have typos in ads.

No I agree with this. It's something they're being paid to do (i.e. a form of work) and it's so easy to check spellings. In Ruby's case it's annoying because she comes across as very money grabbing, but puts so little effort into her content.

 

[Deeznutslol]

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?

Hahahahaha that’s class

I thought that when I saw that video of her, think I stopped wearing those when I was around eight. Shame Ruby hasn't outgrown it yet, all she was needing to compete the look was a pair of gym shoes and some plaits and she'd look ten. Shouldn't be giving her ideas especially with her recent regression

I do wonder how she goes about picking her clothes out or what she looks for when she buys clothes. She just puts bits and pieces together and they don't look good and they never fit that well on her ( I do like a few of her outfits from her older videos) Does she deliberately try and find clothes that make her look childlike? Someone must have said something to her about how she dresses or that she looks rediculous with that massive hat or a boater on. Or tell her to get a new pair of tights on if there is a ladder in them Surely Blakeney or Martha would say something to her.

I liked Ruby's older style, especially from her first year of university. Now her style is just a bunch of mismatch items that don't go together. Her Depop like list also doesn't have a direction. She surely has a huge identity crisis. And unpopular opinion, but I don't think dark colours suit her. She looks way too hollow already, and black just makes it worse. I don't even understand why she tries so hard to fit dark academia aesthetic, when she obviously doesn't enjoy studying and reading. And she really should cut her hair to shoulder length, she doesn't take care of her hygiene and long hair is hard to manage, I can't imagine how dirty it is.

 

[StatusWoe]

That GIF of her chewing the tea...wut? Hair on the matcha latte made me wince. It seems as though she's molting.

Oh look, more green. At least it's not vegetable porridge. Has anyone ever tried a 'matcha rose latte' before? Is it a nice drink?

I have never felt this confused by anyone's dissertation process. What on earth is she doing? Floundering, probably, but she seems pretty relaxed so who knows.

 

[Scapier88]

Not usually undergrad, no. PhDs generally are and sometimes masters depending on the uni

Ah ok I blame pregnancy brain
What a stupid idea it was to be pregnant during spring summer I'm hot miserable and humidity has given me a afro

I think that, (I could be projecting), but I think that the extent that Ruby was bullied at school might have been a bit more teasing from her classmates and I think that she might have been just left out/excluded from things her own age. I think that Ruby might have brought it on herself (sounds cruel as no one deserves to be bullied), but I can see her acting quite childishly and a bit snobby around her classmates and I feel like she would remind the teacher that there was homework to be handed in. I think I read something either from here or from Gurugossip or I made it up, that she would spend time with younger pupils- probably to turn them into mini Ruby's.

I do think that if she was badly bullied I think that she'd would have got a teacher to deal with it and Mother Granger would be right on it judging with how doting she is of Ruby now. I could be wrong though.

I did use to have a bit of a soft spot for Ruby as I could see myself as a teenager in her a bit when I first started watching her videos. I always kind of her saw her as someone who just wasn't sure how to fit in with other students and was probably a bit lonely at school.

I bet she was (and still is) extremely annoying and thought too highly of herself. A perfect proof of that is erimenthol who she based after herself, as well as her admiration for the 1st year hermione, i.e. when she was the most annoying and insufferable.

OCD-like symptoms can be varied depending on who it is, she might have symptoms you'd expect (eg. hand-washing) but not fulfil the stereotype you're thinking of. It's got far more to it than just being clean, and you could very easily need to compulsively hand-wash but not worry about mess around you. She's got other symptoms that possibly suggest OCD or a similar anxiety disorder, such as her need to plan her essays five million times before actually writing, which could imply that she does compulsively hand wash. I understand why you wouldn't understand it, but mental illness is incredibly personal and differs from person to person, and OCD in particularly is very misrepresented in media.
(I'm not saying Ruby definitely has OCD, but @bunnys post got me thinking, in conjunction with my best friend having OCD, so I know a lot about it and just want to try and clarify)

Oh I do get this. Absolutely OCD is not just “washing your hands” or contamination etc. (I worked a couple of years in a specialist OCD clinic). Clinically, her presentation as we see it online (which is of course not a reflection on her whole life but is what she chooses to share) still does not to me seem to equate with OCD as I understand it as a MH professional. So it’s not based on just assuming OCD=compulsive hand washing but a general sense from all we see (which is selective I know). I don’t doubt she is a person who struggles with anxiety and for that I have empathy for her. But I also can’t ignore the charity ballsups, the constant feedback she asks for but then wilfully chooses to ignore and often do more of and, in particular, the bullying and holocaust disasters.

Since I can only "enjoy" glimpses of the Rooby-Booby experience via Tattle and other idiots' ehm influencers' Instagram I just saw her in attending the event via Jade's story. I am shocked to admit that I genuinely enjoy her outfit. (I mean, do you see the shoes?)

wtf is up with that deranged posing

 

[Scapier88]

Hey we've travelled back in time or Ruby is rewriting her dissertation for the 9997 time

 

[nhlf1nwhl]

Another Master’s interview?

ik she went to go see waitress at the theatre in oxford so maybe that?? could have combined with something else but she was def with family that trip

 

[Ilaariaa]

I don't want to try and diagnose her with anything, but as an autistic woman around her age it seems pretty likely to me that she has it. Obviously every autistic person is different but like her, it took me a lot longer than my peers to grow up and become more independent. I also have extremely poor organisational skills and easily lose track of household tasks. It's quite sad really because I can't even imagine how much harder it would have been for me growing up if I'd been broadcasting my entire life to the internet. I wish that she'd quit being an influencer and just spend time privately figuring out who she is as a person. She surely doesn't need the extra money, she can afford to take time out.

I don't see why it's surprising that she went to see it? Just because she has a very sheltered life herself doesn't mean she wouldn't be interested in a show about different experiences I've never fought in a revolution myself yet Les Mis is my all time favourite show

Yeah but Ruby is not interested in different experiences, if something doesn't focus on white 12 year old girls who love books and are different from their peers she's not interested in it
