Ruby Granger #26 Ruby Granger is a bad writer

I think people are underestimating how underweight you have to be to be hospitalised (for anorexia at least and with no other immediate risk to life factors) to be hospitalised…

twbmi sub 15 if not lower…

Yes she’s lost weight but she’s also posting clear thinspo and if you’ve got any sense at all you just don’t do that shit. ED or not.

I don't think she's underweight enough to be hospitalised yet, but I do think she's underweight. And with the way she's going, she may well be hospitalised at some point. It may not be now, it may not even be in the next year. But if she keeps going like that, it'll probably happen.

I agree that its very much of a body check one and I just felt rather uncomfortable with it, it's the first one that has actually really bothered me, I think it's the combination of the too big t-shirt and the leggings that's done it for me.

It's the way the t-shirt is oversized but you can still tell she's tiny and bony underneath. And her legs look like sticks. There's nothing to her at all. If she keeps going on like this she'll probably have to go inpatient in the not so distant future

The new reel on her IG about going to see Waitress - she is literally wearing a primary school summer uniform dress - something designed for actual children!!

It looks awful with those black tights, and with white tights she'd literally look like a five-year-old. But I guess nude tights are too adult for her.

God Ruby, you mean DISCOURAGE. Don't use words you don't know!

I was going to comment something about ”one syllable or less” but then I remembered she managed to butcher ”scourge” as well. We need to set the bar really low.

so I just spotted Contrapoints in Rhubarb's study notes and I want to gatekeep so much right now I am shaking.
(then again there is a lot Roobli could learn from Natalie, especially when it comes to content quality)

I think that it actually is a published piece called 'The Shape Shifting Storyteller' (you can find it here) https://lup.lub.lu.se/student-papers/search/publication/1776537 . No idea why it has 'Final Version before PDF' in the title.
I'm still curious to see if Ruby will share anymore of her essay/dissertation though.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see she’s copying other people’s work...

 

[rubysdeadfly]

Thinking about her festival playlist that she put supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (yes I had to copy and paste that) on and now I can't find her spotify to relive the campiness of it all

 

[yayadumpling]

wouldn't it be cold leaving like more than half the doona cover on the floor when sleeping??

anyway i had yet another dream about ruby last night, i was over at her house having some kind of brunch or afternoon tea. and i said something and she responded with "well i just wish my courtyard was bigger". after she said this, i got really angry and went on about the size of her house etc hahahahah

 

[roundmidnight]

in what world does she live in that she had the thought process that led her to believe that a cut paragraph is content worth sharing on youtube

 

[Griftwood]

Does anyone know when this assignment and her dissertation is due in

Her diss is due this coming Thursday and the work for her module the day before.

 

[gossip_guy]

Have anyone else noticed that whenever she does this weird grimace selfie she’s not looking into the camera, she’s looking at herself? And does anyone else find it creepy? Cuz I do

She's either never figured out how cameras work or she’s just that self-absorbed. Whenever she takes mirror photos, she smiles at the phone in her hand rather than looking in the mirror at the lens:

She does this every time.

Is it Ruby Granger fanfiction or did they just create a OC sister for Hermione and call her Ruby?
From what little I've read here this character is characterized as a bit dumb and boy-crazy. If this Ruby Granger is meant to be our Ruby Granger, this must be a troll because I can't see a Ruby fangirl writing her like this

Yeah I think it’s just an unfortunate coincidence, but I’m still going to pour bleach into my brain just to be sure.

 

[blmrqslm]

Her newest video feels exactly the same as her las one?? Like a huge déjà vu

 

[morganmichelle]

Ah yes, discourse, the thing about which final year English students know everything

View attachment 1220738

I'm not an English nerd like Ruby but, isn't discourse being used wrongly here? I'm pretty sure she meant to say 'discourage' instead?

 

[hart301]

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.

Spoiler: Eating Disorder Talk

Sadly I think this has a lot to do with her ED. I know that when I did suffer from mine I thought I was a lot bigger than what I was. Instead of buying clothes that actually fit me (I believe it's called dysmorphia), I would buy clothes in an L or XL (the size I was previously) rather than my actual size.

 

[xoxoxo13]

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

And the lying, ed baiting and charity stealing

 

[rubella]

in her drop out video she said she was supposed to go to france to work but COVID happened so she changed plans and went to Uni instead to study a degree she thought she might "tolerate", (until she dropped out a few months ago realising she didn't like it)
idk what she's been up to recently but if she was moving to france to work after her a-levels...does that mean she wanted to become like an au pair or something like that? because i'm unaware (correct me if i'm wrong) that martha speaks any french

That's so weird. It just got me thinking as I haven't seen Martha pop up for a while in Ruby's videos. She never seems to be around or involved when Ruby is at home, and there's no mention of her I don't think. It makes me wonder if Martha is even there?

 

[StatusWoe]

To be fair Jamie Oliver does this too I've seen a number of his videos where he suggests rubbing garlic on the bread to give it a garlic taste. Never done it myself but it must work if Jamie Oliver does it!

Nooo this can't be a thing, it looks so bad.

 

[123abcxopt]

I guess that must have been it, that she was unhappy with them being up. Wonder why, because she came across as very nice and likable, in my opinion. But obviously I respect that and hope she is happy. Just a bit upset about losing the book reviews haha.

She talked quite openly about her MH issues and also showed quite a few lows. I can completely understand why she wouldn't want that to be her first impression on new friends/employers. Massive shame tho, she was great!

 

[StatusWoe]

Not fully caught up yet, so just replying to gossip guy's recap.

Her process only gets more ludicrous. Rather than just finally edit her fucking dissertation once and for all, Ruby decides that she's going to procrastinate and overcomplicate things even more by annotating her entire disseration for the 372,946th time and colour-coding the whole thing by category of what needs changing.

Help, my desk has been cluttered from afar by Ruby's disasteration.

The images were so amusing I had to copy and paste them into a grumpy grid.

Spoiler: ED

Those teeny tiny meals look so unappetising. Watery carrot bowl...mmm. I think the saddest one is the thimble-sized cornflake pea mixture. It's actually making me depressed.
