Her ideas of bullying are so bizarre like firstly no, I just can’t imagine a bunch of private school girls going round dashing rocks and slapping people up. Secondly, if you’re gonna write a realistic book about bullying in 2022 then 90% of it needs to be happening over snapchat, insta, tiktok or roblox lmao

What even is the state of her chair?
The actual duck is a ‘would be smile’
Also why does she look like she’s going to burst into tears whenever she’s writing / editing her book
Lol is she writing another book about all girls private school bullying case?
I've read it, I quite liked it. It's sort of magical realism I guess you could call it?
R.I.P. chair
?-2022my personal headcanon is that she just plain farted it to death, and you can’t convince me otherwise
Am i the only one who saw her new iMac and thought 'daddy's money'?
i don't fully believe she was able to afford it on her own. those things are like 2 thousand in the uk. I think
ETA:
My mistake, the base model is 1200 at least. depends on which specs you go for

Nah, she can afford it.
(that’s not her address btw, it’s probably the accountant she uses, nobody go stalk an innocent accountant I’M LOOKING AT YOU PENULTIMATE)

It's the same as Erimentha when Ruby wrote that. She clearly has no experience with or knowledge of bullying despite her obsession with it. The "bullies" in that book went around doing hilariously unbelievable tit to the protagonist, like hacking her hair off (which somehow goes unnoticed by parents and teachers), stabbing her with needles, knocking her unconscious and putting her in the hospital with a shot from a stray tennis ball somehow, and shoving her hands in flour (Gasp! How dare they!).
Oh, my sweet summer child.
Let’s make it clear though - if it weren’t for Daddy Bones’ money, she never could have gotten started on youtube, never could have coasted through her uni years without a job nor any thought of getting one, etc. Privilege ALLLLL the way.
Razor-farts Ruby isn't a twist I expected from this thread but I have no notes. Flawless.R.I.P. chair

OMG, yes it did! A sequel to The Evidence Folder of Precociousness! And you are right, it seems like it is being kept for later in the same weird way. Not that I'm saying there is anything wrong with keeping such a dossier. In fact, it's the single only decent piece of anti-bullying advice in the entirety of the book, which generally gives out pretty bad messages about dealing with bullies.
But it came across really disingenuous for Erimonster to be "meticulously" compiling her Evidence Log while asserting that she would never ever ever ever tell on Kimberl(e)y. It made it appear that it was another clumsy device to shoe-horn in an opportunity for even more praise for Erimonster. And the outcome gives more weight to this suspicion, since when the big hand-over finally occurs, her headmistress's reaction is not utter horror at the abuse Erimentha suffered in her school but to praise her for being so clever!
For those that didn't read Erimonster, it is basically a vehicle for i) the character to receive as much praise as possible and ii) the character to call the reader's attention to this fact as much as possible. We see teachers praise her. We see her parents praise her. We see random strangers praise her. In case that wasn't enough, Erimentha recounts time she's been praised to the reader as well and shoehorns in odd anecdotes to show how special and precocious she was, while calling attention to how silly/stupid/immature her "peers" and younger brother are. At no point does Ruby seem to realize how obnoxiously her main character behaves.
I'd have sympathy and wouldn't judge her if Ruby had written this privately when she was much younger as a coping mechanism. I wrote cringe-worthy "novels" when I was about 10-14. But to be (self-)publishing when 17/18, and charging more than some Jacqueline Wilson books for a copy is...quite another thing. It is also littered with typos and other errors, even after she revised it when she was at uni. Please don't waste your money buying it. I can only hope her new book is more different than it seems.

I remember the last video of Eve Cornwell's that I watched she said something about how she doesn't believe in the word "busy" as being busy is just a personal prioritisation of time... I was done after that, as a carer for family members (as well as working and studying) the personal prioritisation of my time involves regularly putting other people's needs and wellbeing above my own. Yes, I could decide not to, but I'd have to be quite thick skinned and selfish to do so and not feel guilty about it. Sometimes I feel very old, especially when Studytubers start pontificating about the world, I hope their young followers don't take too much of what they say to heart.During my bachelor's I always lived home between two semesters (2-3 months) and I enjoyed having so much free time. It was so nice doing all the creative stuff and enjoy nature and having a good time with little responsibilities. I finished my master's recently but I had a part time job during my studies and I will convert to a full timer in july. Now I have to maintain our apartment, cook, etc. And sometimes I get home tired and I don't really have the motivation to do something outside the basic things that keep me alive
So please Ruby, shut the f up with your privileged lifeI always found this so frustrating, seeing these people get free stuff and a lot of free opportunities with no effort. And here we are working 9-5 because life is not for free and people are aspiring these influencers...
I feel it's important to make the point that the flour was undulating.
I know nothing about the publishing industry- what are the chances her book does get published? What reputable publishing house will want this steaming pile of trash under their name? Penguin won't touch this with a ten-foot pole.
That extract is objectively so bad- it's what I expect from a 10 year old. Heck, I've seen better creative writing from Grade 7's. If she's getting a First in her degree and her punctuation, grammar, transitions, etc. are like THAT, I'll be blown away.

That feels so wrong to me. Like bullying fanfiction or bully porn (similar to the whole trauma porn debacle ). Is she literally rewriting her private school days just to feel something?

Could you imagine her usual hyperspeed narration plus c though? I find it hard to follow her on her normal speeded up talking!
I heard lots of people say getting an agent is easy, but finding a company to publish your work is hard. And judging by the writing about Erimentha's lesser known twin, there probably is a small chance that she will get a publishing deal. I think it would be a freaking miracle if she does get published.
Most definitely, couldn't agree more.
