Not sure why she is saying she is embarrassed to post it when she already posted the same cringe dance to good morning Baltimore this time last year on tiktok…

"I'm embarrassed" = "I'm VARRY proud of myself but also VARRY humble" in Rubyspeak.

She's incapable of shame or embarrassment, and the grimacing, bodychecking performance here is on the same over-the-top level as her "dramatic readings". She's expecting compliments, and waiting for the people to tell her she should be on the West End for the ego boost.

"All my stress has melted away! I feel so relaxed and carefree!"

Sure, Jan.

Like @Mr.Mistoffelees says, she's clearly trying to convince herself and everyone else that she's not panicking and that the disappointing grade that's on the way won't affect her.

And still no acknowledgment that she's the one who's been pushing toxic productivity on her viewers and constantly harping on about "deadline season" all the time.

Has Ruby twirled out of the field of macademia and become lost in the deep dark woods of TV series and movies being her ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE THING?

Rubes, you have said multiple times before that you only consume cinematic content in strictly timed aliquots, although seems like that's only true if it's not GiFtEd, apparently...

And Ruby has said on several occasions that she has an overwhelming dislike of books with teen relationships, teen romance and genuine teen drama, or pretty much any YA fiction that isn't just gifted wealthy children getting bullied for being too smart, to the point where she'll just skim over it all (not that she actually reads much else, either).

Now she's claiming she'll rush to read a book featuring all of the above, after supposedly watching and loving the TV show, despite never usually watching TV shows unless paid to pretend to?

Edit: I mean, it's a short read. It has pictures and everything. Ruby knew she was going to the premiere and this self-proclaimed bookworm couldn't even bother reading any of it prior to the screening, especially since the author was there to speak? She couldn't look more like a transparent fake if she tried.

I'd wager a kidney that those weren't quick revisions to clean up errors and structure, either. She's likely fully rewritten it from scratch or near to it seven times over because she has no clue what she's doing.

I'm sure she thought people would be VARRY IMPRASSED with that seven draft reveal. It's definitely an extension of her "I ALWAYS write thousands of words over the word count" nonsense; she thinks it's a sign that she's working harder than everyone else, but it's just highlighting that she's incapable of following the assignment structure and easily goes off the rails and wastes all her time on irrelevant stuff. It's especially hilarious coming from someone who presents themselves as a master of planning and organisation.

How VARRY dare you! You should know by now that IF she’s taking her time over seven drafts, it’s only because six drafts weren’t quite enough enjoyment! You should always enjoy what you do, and if you’re not enjoying it, do it for longer.

And if she’s gone over the word limit ever so slightly, or gone off on minor tangents such as gift-giving theory, it’s only because she’s IMMARSING herself in the academic experience. Which she JANUINELY enjoys, as you know from the lists she’s written of ”things to tell myself to convince myself that I like studying.”

Why is Ruby dressed like an ill person? It's late April. Why does she need a long red shawl over her clothes, under her duvet? I know #cosy autumnal aesthetic is her thing and England can be cold, but unless her bedroom has been magically transported to the Arctic Circle, those layers don't make sense! Ruby just chilling (literally) in her igloo of a house...

Meanwhile, the only relatable thing in that house is the dimmer switch thing on the wall, the expression of which sums up almost everyone's thoughts on Ruby's content and life decisions:

brace yourselves, Downton Abbey premiere incoming

The woman on the right looks like she was photoshopped in

It looks like a starving kid's first visit to Madame Tussauds wax museum, awkwardly posing with the statues.

Either that or a Z-list influencer that you've never heard of, accompanied by the religious consultant she hired to make sure she doesn't stray off the rails in her pursuit of fame.

"One's slaying the role, the other's praying for your soul. The Devil & Ruby Granger - coming soon to BBC3."

That doodle is the most basic shit I've seen for a while. That's how I was drawing a dude at 8 years old when I was in hurry or sth. Cmon.

I feel like I'm watching a horror movie and the parent says to the kid, "what are you drawing?" And the kid says "my friend Timmy who lives in the closet and plays with me every night at 3am!"

 

[missmina]

isn't that because the terms are so short and intense so they don't want you to become overwhelmed trying to fit a job in too? I don't go there but I have a lot of friends that do and the workload they have is insane, they wouldn't have time for a job.

Still it’s not university’s place to tell adult people what to do in their free time imo

 

[Griftwood]

Her parents are totally enabling her ED. In one of her "daily study with mes" Ruby mentioned that she went swimming with her dad which I found kind of sad given that all Ruby cares about at this point is exercise and consuming as little food as possible.

Again, we have no way of knowing how her parents may or may not have attempted to interfere, but I can say from my experience that parents who haven’t experienced a problematic relationship to food AND who are themselves possibly trying to battle middle-age spread… are just not going to be the most discerning or sensitive.

 

[Griftwood]

None of the items she’s wearing are something Jane Eyre might have worn. Not the stretchy polyester top (£45), not the polyester/rayon/spandex pinafore dress (£85), certainly not the plastic headband from Accessorize. Why is she so basic and low-effort?

 

[Griftwood]

"one of the greatest hardships for schoolchildren: bullying" hmm yes maybe at a fancy private school but a lot of kids have far bigger issues than a bit of teasing in class, like oh I don't know, poverty? broken families? social services? of course bullying is awful for kids that go through it, but it just shows how incredibly out of touch Rupert is.

I get what you’re saying, but individual life experience is alway individual and it’s seldom helpful or even appropriate to compare. (Or generalize, as Roobee does!) I know having a teacher tell me to snap out of my anorexia because there are people in the world who are actually starving wasn’t useful to anyone, idk maybe I’m just overly sensitive

 

[threeSMEGfridges]

The amount of free time she has to wind up her assignments is baffling. Oh to be privileged and not have to work a real part time job at Uni. I wrote my dissertation whilst waitressing and bartending to try and keep afloat.

I can’t believe that Ruby and Jack Edwards got invited to a screening that Alice Oseman said was for LGBTQ+ Influencers. So proud of them! (Jk)

 

[influencersmakemewannadie]

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!!

 

[gossip_guy]

And that's different from every single other day you show how exactly?

That was Ruby’s laziest video in a really long time. A mixture of footage from weeks, months and years ago, with no real content beyond Ruby staring at her laptop looking dead inside (and out).

She's reusing this footage for the 8 millionth time, despite having more recent footage of her browsing the stacks at "AXATARR LOIBURRY".

Ruby’s decided to show footage of her writing her dissertation and children's literature essay from before this week's other videos because who the fuck knows. And it still doesn't actually show anything, it's just more of Ruby saying she did a lot of vague things with no visual indication that they happened. "AND THAN I DID THIS, AND THAN I DID THAT."

Ruby parrots information her lecturer provided during her module as though Ruby herself just thought it up. She clearly thought this would make her seem VARRY smart, but god, she sounds so dumb. Ruby only just discovered the concept of postmodernism after three years of studying English at uni and claiming to read hundreds of books a year. Despite apparently reading the Lemony Snickett books before, she only noticed the very basic postmodern aspects of it when they were pointed out to her during her module. Her brain is completely devoid of any critical ability of her own.

Oh, and the video is sponsored by a familiar service which Ruby hasn't used since the last time she was sponsored by them. "I've shown Perlego in a LYOT of moiy 'study with me's because...it IS one of my favourite study platforms," Ruby lies.

Reminder: Ruby never shows Perlego outside of sponsored ads. She has paid money to buy digital copies of books elsewhere that were included free with her Perlego subscription. She actively pays money not to have to use Perlego herself outside of sponsored videos. That should tell you exactly what Ruby really thinks of this platform.

"I use it pretty regularly if you watch moiy 'study with me's," she says again, just lying her ass off. What utter pondscum.

You can also get "50 pruh-cent off by using the code Grayn-JAH!" which still isn’t her surname.

If I have to hear Ruby say "WAAHRK" again I may have to stop watching her content forever. It feels like every third word in this video is "WhAaARK", even though she's never done a real day's work in her entire life.

"I'm trying to stop waarhk at one forteee-foive because I don't WAAHRK VARRY WAL in the afternyoons? Syo it doesn't seem wahrth it tyoo spend toiyme...WAARHKing from tyoo to four?" It feels like my brain is eroding just listening to her mangle the English language. See a speech therapist, Ruby, please. Hopefully they can beat the fake accent out of you with an Oxford dictionary.

Ruby, you really need to quit YouTube. You've somehow gotten worse than having zero talent and ability. I think watching your videos might actively be making people lose brain cells. I worry that one day soon, I'll watch one of these bafflingly incompetent, devoid-of-purpose shitshows and the barrage of sheer stupidity assaulting my brain will cause some kind of dumbness by osmosis and make me forget how vowels work, what a kettle does or what my family look like. Please, for the love of god, just stop.

Watching Ruby's new stories and I'm just wondering what weather isn't Ruby's most favourite? Same with the month? I don't know if it is me being a grumpy cow but I just find it annoying when she acts all whimsical and full of wonder when she speaks about the weather or nature. I just find it so fake and put on. My personal cringe is when she was on her writing vlog and she is nearly crying at an empty blackberry bush as how amazing it wass.

I act like that when I’m high… maybe Ruby’s putting something a little extra in her tea

 

[gossip_guy]

With her dissertation, why is she trying to find the structure of it now to see if it makes sense?

Simple answer: She's an indescribable moron and she's screwed herself royally by never learning to write an essay by herself or think critically and independently.

She devised a dodgy essay-writing system based on skipping reading the main text and reverse-engineering an essay stitched together from a wealth of stolen and heavily-rewritten ideas cribbed from critical essays, Blakeney, seminar groups and lecturers.

But like most things she's taken endless shortcuts with and never improved at, she's robbed herself of the learning experience and never grew to think independently or critically. Her dodgy essay factory setup might work for an essay where she's given a clear, pre-defined question and where everyone around her is studying the same texts. But, predictably, she has no clue what to do when given a blank slate and nobody to steal from, and can't even form a basic, clear critical argument to start from.

She's her own worst enemy, and I think with her dissertation, all her worst instincts are colliding in a perfect storm of stupidity.

She was instantly out of her depth, but her delusions of grandeur and innate stupidity had her aiming to write a PhD-level essay at undergrad level rather than focusing on a safe, sensible, realistic goal suited to her limited ability.

She put aesthetics first, chasing Dark Academia fantasies of trawling dusty archives, finding undiscovered manuscripts and becoming an academic sensation, resulting in over a year of wasted time and pointless research.

She craves the praise of teachers and lecturers, but refuses to listen to instruction. She thinks she's always right and believes she can impress by ignoring academic guidance, colour outside the lines and push the boundaries of what work is expected. This has screwed her over before, and it's probably why she's being asked to do massive revisions after every supervisor meeting and there's still no improvement.

She tried applying her usual shortcuts to her dissertation, shoehorning in things she already had (questionable) knowledge and (superficial) interest in to save time, so shoehorned Victorian nonsense, letter-writing etiquette, gift culture and a whole cavalcade of bafflingly unrelated crap in. Without a clear argument or structure, that's all just incoherent, disconnected drivel that she's now struggling to make sense of.

She never came up with a clear essay topic, and put so much time into cramming in meandering, irrelevant nonsense that her dissertation contains practically nothing else, and there's no way to fix that without starting from scratch. At this point, she's way too late to salvage it. She's rearranging deckchairs on the Titanic.

New video!

She blubbers on and on about writing down her motivations on why she wants to study literature. "It's like affirmations...it convinces us these things are true." Um, I don't have to keep reminding myself I love reading and books and studying books. I just...do it. I lose myself while doing it. I don't have to constantly look at a sticky note to try to convince myself I love it. She's so weird. Who is this video helping?

 

[gossip_guy]

The assignment is 2,000 words, so basically she wrote the essay and then wrote another essay’s worth of drivel which she then ended up having to cut. Smart planning there, Roodawakening.

"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.

The new outfit post on her instagram really helps illustrate just how much more confident she looks in anything resembling a school uniform... She's positively glowing!

"Outfit of the day" - Posts an outfit from days ago. Sure, Ruby, that's how time works.

 

[teflonpanda]

I'll have you know that Ruby is watching them all in ten minute sections whilst also reading and trampolining at the same time

And brushing her teeth! #productive
