Ruby's Instagram is a treasure trove today.
"I AM A PLUVIOPHILE. THAT IS MY IDENTITY."
Today's stories feature Ruby with a "TeuxDeux" tab open. How many random tracker apps and to-do list platforms does she need when she does so little? And how long until Ruby starts another new company with Shopify called "TyooDyoo"?
She's on that Nyotion grind again.
"not sponsored or affiliated. Notion is just an easy way of sharing information!"
No, Ruby. The internet is an easy way of sharing information. Notion is a company that paid you to make several ad videos for them. Even if they didn't pay you for this one, YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO DECLARE THAT PAST PARTNERSHIP. That's how brand deals work. You know this.
Unsurprisingly, most of this Notion page supposedly meant for "useful" study links is just ads and affiliate links. Why is any of that there? What do shitty teas, phone cases and faux-Victorian clothing have to do with productivity, planning and studying?
Ruby acting like she's being VARRY transparent when shilling products, neglects to mention all the free shit they all keep sending her as payment for advertising, or why she keeps shoving undeclared ads for all of them in all her videos.
Ruby has joined the modern internet and created a Linktree. 'My Favourite Tea Shop' leads to an affiliate link for Bard 'n' Bland. Nowhere is this declared. Nowhere are her brand ties to Bird and Blend declared.

(Pictured: Ruby's reaction to her favourite tea shop's products.)
"I'm a little stuck with my book. Can people send 350 pages of narrative fiction about a girl who is VARRY, VARRY smart and admired by all her teachers but is bullied by all teenagers because they're VARRY JALLOSS of how intelligent she is? It's just that little bit that I'm stuck on."
Ruby needs to do the right thing and call this literary-reference-spouting character Mya Instagram-Followers, since that's who's writing everything for her.

To recap the last part of the recap:
1 short story.
1 essay of a two essay collection.
1 poetry collection.
1 very short novel* (Incomplete).
6 outfit changes.
(*which apparently Ruby feels should've been full of flowery purple prose instead of the simple language which fittingly reflected its child protagonist, because all children must be precocious, verbose geniuses who use words she doesn't understand or Ruby's just not interested.)
And then there's a haul shoehorned into this already far-too-long video. Why is this here?!
Ruby got some gifted teas, including a Rooibos tea, which she still can't pronounce or learn the pronunciation of, despite claiming to be devoted to researching and learning all of the things.
She's also changed her outfit again, suspiciously. She says it's because she just got a top in the post from Vinted. Apparently washing used clothes doesn't occur to Ruby. Remember when she claimed to be a germaphobe? She certainly committed to that lie for all of 12 seconds.
Ruby claims she's finished 'Frost in May', so she peruses the rest of her TBR stack. This includes "'As Goodastat' boiy Holly Jackson. It's the thard book in The Agut Garl's Doht-guy fum-tah-Marder series?" Ruby sounds like she's having some kind of brain embolism.
Ruby's in her 8th (!) outfit of this "day" and she's not even trying to make this shit believable.
After rambling about how much she loves Jacqueline Wilson but won't allow herself to read a children's book, she reappears in her 9th (!!!) outfit of the fucking "day".
Since undeclared ads are like the icing on the multi-layer cake of lies that she serves up, she makes sure to slap another of those in there, too. She opens up some gifted "Bahhrd 'n' Bland" tea with no mention of her ties to the brand or that they sent her this for free.
And then we're onto book four, which by Ruby's math should be book 5, but is really book 1 on account of all the zero reading of non-books she did.
Look what's also available on Perlego, which Ruby JANUINELY uses AVVERY SINGULL DAIYY.
This was also a gifted book, which is the only reason Ruby is pretending to read a book from a non-English writer and not a book about rich, young English girls. Ruby's torn between twolovers sponsors: Does she at least try to keep up the Perlego lie? Obviously not. Does she show her gifted Pushkin Press and declare it as an ad at the risk of looking even more like a fake-ass liar? Also nope.
Instead, she opts for the worst of all scenarios, failing to use Perlego in the exact circumstances where she claims only in paid ads that she AWLHWAYSS uses it, and instead whipping out a gifted paperback with no mention that it was sent to her for free (until later, at least). She couldn't look more like a fake, greedy, lying shill if she tried.
Ruby says she will only read a few short stories from the "COLLACK-SHUN AND THAN" she'll switch to "WHITE BAHRD", which she claims to have already read "TWANTY" pages of off-screen. It's a graphic novel, so another incredibly short read.
"It's a copple of dayslater noaw," Ruby says. Later than when isn't confirmed, but there was at least 7 days of footage in that video, so who the fuck knows.
But, of course, before she can talk about the books she pretended to read, she interrupts the already way-too-long vlog with yet more bullshit that should've been its own video.
The RoOóÓoey-Bus tea tastes a lot like rÓoOöoEy-bus tea. That was definitely worth this pointless detour, wasn't it, Rooey-Buss? It also taste malty, apparently, though Ruby says that about every tea and I'm sure is just another word she heard once and doesn't know the meaning of.
She then goes on to talk about the books in slightly more depth, but even with days to compile thoughts (or steal them from other places online), she still has nothing to say beyond parroted plot blurbs and vague nonsensical yammering. She didn't read these. At most, she skimmed through.
Ruby's thoughts on 'At the Bay': You should read this if you like to read writing. You should also read this at the beach. Because there's a beach on the cover, and that's probably all that Ruby read.
Ruby's thoughts on 'Ariel' by Sylvia Plath: Ruby has JANUINELY read lots of Plath before, almost everything she's AVVER written, but Ruby simply forgot about it because it happened a long time (i.e. more than 30 seconds) ago. But it HONESTLY happened and she ABSOLYOOTELY DID read all the Plath. Ruby wouldn't recommend reading this all at once. Better to dip into it one poem at a time, like Ruby did when she read one poem and marked this comple--I mean, when she DAFFINITELY RADD AWLL OF IT. Most of her favourite Plath poems are in this collection, but she can't name one. Ruby spends more time talking about the cover than the contents.
Ruby's thoughts on 'A Room of One's Own': Ruby LOVES READING ASS-AYS! Because ASS-AYS give you a fully-formed and explored opinion that you can steal for yoursel--I mean, they encourage you to look at the world in new ways! Ruby loved the way this ASS-AY explored SYNTAX and the AFFACKT of writing. Because syntax, spelling, grammar and coherency in writing is clearly VARRY important to Ruby. Then Ruby just recites a plot summary she read online.
Ruby's thoughts on 'Frost in May': Isn't the covvah SYOOO BEAUTIFUL?! It's like Mallory Towers because it has simple language and features a school. (Ruby's read so little that her only frame of reference for a story featuring a school is Mallory Fucking Towers. Again, this is why Ruby is resorting to having her fans write her book for her: There's nothing swirling around in her brain but dust and lies.) Ruby loves that this book mentioned theology. DIDJOOKYOW THAT RUBY STODDIED THEOLOGY?! Because she did. (And dropped out, because it was the only thing she had less interest in than reading, but anyway.) Ruby's VARRY INSTRASSTED IN THEOLOGY. This book taught her all about Catholicism, which she knew nothing about before, despite a supposed interest in theology. She took the word of the cover blurb which said this Catholic convent-focused content was VARRY accurate and did no further research herself. But Ruby LOVES REE-SARRCHING AND LAHHRING NEW THINGS AND CHALLANGING AVVERYTHING SHE READS. JANUINELY.
Ruby's thoughts on 'Murder in the Age of Enlightenment': "POOSHK'N PRASS ARE SYOO WOHNDERFOL AND THEY SANT ME THESE BOCKS AND THE COVVERS ARE SYO STONNING AND BYOOTAFUL. LAT ME TAL YOO ALL ABOUT THE COVERS OF POSHKIN PRASS BOCKS." Ruby then reads out the cover blurb. Ruby was really STROCK by how different AWLL of the stories in this short story collection were, even though she only read two of them. Ruby realised her lies are showing and then has to edit in a protest clip to say that SINCE THE READATHON SHE HAS RADD AWL OF THE BOOK. JANUINELY. HONESTLY. IT HAPPENED. PROMISE! Ruby really liked the shortest story in the book (no shit) - this was like a "MOORE-AL FABLE" (add "moral" to the never-ending list of words Ruby can't pronounce).
This book really reminded her of "Norweigan Wood" because they both have Japanese authors.
Ruby's thoughts on "White BAHHRD boiy ARR JAYY PALASSY-YAY!": This was lent to Ruby by her "FRAND" (presumably a young child aged 12-16).
Ruby says this friend has a YouTube channel that everyone should go follow, but then she just points to a Jacqueline Wilson-y illustration that doesn't link to anywhere and there's no link in the description. This "FRAND" will apparently be doing the illustrations for Ruby's upcoming disaster of a planner, and the grift has many layers. Undoubtedly Ruby will not pay this "FRAND" for their services. The exposure will be their reward, even though Ruby refuses to link to their channel and they'll be getting in on the PONKIN' PRODOCKTIVTEE scam when everyone's stopped buying their products. And Ruby's still trying to keep the PLONKY PURDTRTEA grift going even after last year's "DEPACLE". What a moronic little cretin.
Speaking of grifts, this book is about the Holocaust, which is Ruby's favourite horrific historical event to milk for money. Ruby loves this book because it's about "coinedness". And then she veers off on a ramble about the importance of Holocaust education because Ruby hasn't learned a fucking thing and will not leave well enough alone. Ruby does not, however, make any mention of all the Holocaust memorials she was going to start building in schools as soon as she graduated.
As if this video wasn't long enough, Ruby then tacks on some footage of herself writing a "LATTER" to a viewer, which she says she's trying to do in every video now. Why? Just write the damn letter in your own time and send it. Nobody cares about this shit besides the person getting the letter, and that's what the letter itself is for. But naturally, Ruby has to put everything on display because she expects praise for this act of kindness by interacting with a fan. Naturally, if a fan pleads with her to stop posting toxic content, she'll ignore them. But she'll happily write to a 12 year old girl to tell them about her favourite tea and ask them for book ideas.
This is also very clearly a postcard, not a "latter".
To recap, Ruby claims she read 5 books and 2 short stories from the gifted 'Murder in the Age of Enlightenment' collection.
'At the Bay' by Katherine Mansfield - a 31 page short story.
'Ariel' by Plath - a poetry collection, 81 pages.
'A Room of One's Own' by Virginia Woolf - Ruby only read one essay in a two essay collection. Somewhere around 112 pages.
'Frost in May' - the only actual novel on the list, and a very short one at 208 pages.
'White Bird' - 220 pages, but a graphic novel, so a very short read.
This isn't an insurmountable task for a single day. As always, Ruby stacks the deck in her favour by only choosing simple, very short "books" or only reading parts of collections, if she even read them at all. But even then, Ruby clearly filmed this across several days. She has a wide open schedule with nothing at all to do, and claims to love reading more than almost anything. Yet she's incapable of reading a handful of very short books in 24 hours.
And there's nothing wrong with not wanting to read, or not wanting to force yourself to do something all day long. But Ruby opts instead to just lie her fucking ass off yet again and cobble together a smoke-and-mirrors video full of blatant bullshit. She doesn't even attempt her usual "AND YASS, I DYOOO CHANGE MY OUTFITS 4,042,053 TIMES A DAY, OKAY!" denial. Maybe she thinks it's been long enough that people forget she does that, even though she does that every video. Maybe she thinks people aren't going to quickly see through all her lies, or notice that despite all her claims that she AWLWYWAHYS changes her outfit a billion times a day, whenever she shows an 'outfit of the day' elsewhere, there's only ever one.
This could've just been a standard "I did some reading" vlog. Undoubtedly, it still wouldn't been filled to the brim with lies and undeclared ads, because this is still Ruby we're talking about. But there was no reason to pretend this all took place in a single day, other than Ruby loves to lie to get a hollow ego boost, praise from her fans and an undeserved sense of superiority. And it's confirmed by her choice of title: "I got out of my reading slump and read Five Books in a Day". Why didn't she just put, "I read five books"? She just has to emphasise that she accomplished multiple things. She beat her book slump, even though she's never had any genuine interest in reading. She also accomplished something unlikely in a very short space of time, take that, feeble one-book-a-day readers! It's her usual fake numbers game.
Ruby, if you have to cheat to win the race, you didn't beat anyone. You're a fraud. A liar. A sad, pathetic, dim-witted little toad. THAT IS YOUR IDENTITY.

Ruby, if you have to cheat to win the race, you didn't beat anyone. You're a fraud. A liar. A sad, pathetic, dim-witted little toad. THAT IS YOUR IDENTITY.
I am sorry but I cannot get over her recent story where she says "one of my characters makes literary references whenever she can" and then asks for references because she can't think of any... Ruby, I will give you the most cliched creative writing workshop advice: WRITE WHAT YOU KNOW. You cannot write about bookish characters because you are not one. You are incapable of reading and making sense of adult books. Write about characters who steal from charities? That's your forte.
The thing with Ruby is that she doesn't embrace her inner child, she literally wants to escape adulthood and refuses to engage with the aspects of adulthood that don't suit her, like acknowledging her privilege - which she also does in a juvenile way, like writing a thank you letter to you great-auntie for £5 on your birthday. she doesn't acknowledge it in a meaninful way. She likes the independence of money and the playacting of "running a business" but she refuses to take on any more responsibility than that. When people call her out she plays the innocent "Sorry I'm not sure what you mean? Xx". She isn't embracing her inner child when she writes to young teenagers, she literally thinks they're her peers. The distinction you made sums it up so well: it's not just a bit of childish indulgence, she's full on juvenile.To pull the thread back on topic a bit: what is Ruby going to do now? Full disclosure, I don't hate Ruby. I find her content cosy and nice, and it's been interesting to watch someone at a similar point in their life to mine. But I find myself wondering what next. I've noticed a lot of the things in her content that a lot of people here (who harbour a lot more vitriol towards her than I do) such as her regression after moving back in (and her weightloss)
Her childishness is something I more or less like. I think that embracing ones inner child in order to extract more enjoyment from the world is never a bad thing, and if you find it cringe we shall just have to agree to disagree. However, I do think it has already started to get in the way of her content. I came back to her recently, and looking over her last year or two of content that I missed, I was rather startled to find back to school content, morning "routines" and "whats in my bag" videos. For a student entering her fourth year of higher education that is not so much childish as juvenile. I grew out of a lot of this during first year.
It makes me wonder what her content is going to be, now. She's made a brand on being this "relatable cosy smart study girl" but like, it's clear from reading these threads and even just having watched her house announcement when it went out that this isn't who she is. I think she worries that, if she starts to drop this persona, she will start to drop her viewership. I don't think that would happen. I would definitely be a more consistent watcher of her content if she just relaxed into being her privileged self a bit more and stopped pretending. While she was at university, maintaining this persona was still feasible, as a lot of us (myself until recently included) didn't pick up on the inconsistencies and issues that showed she wasn't painting the full picture. However, now she has left, I can't see her "study-life" being at all realistic without considerable tweaks?
You guys say a lot of stuff I find thoroughly objectionable, and a bit mean, but you also have good points every now and again.

"So much of it is internal"....welcome to the genre called literary fiction, Rubes!!
"It’s not things happening, really, but the possibility of them happening which is much closer to real life"...welcome to something called THINKING, Rubes!! You should try it more sometimes.
How are those 2 reviews equally as bad as each other? Shows she hasn't learned or matured from 2020.
And if her writing/ reviews/ analysis are THIS bad, I'm dying to read one of her academic essays. Come on Rubes, just show us ONE! Your best one, if possible
. If you got a first, there's nothing to lose, right? If you proudly published the steaming pile of sh*t that is Erimenthol Parks, it can't be worse, can it? If you're worried someone is going to plagiarize your brilliant thoughts- well, that's the least of your concerns.
''He does interesting things with form and speech": so...writing?? What is this girl smoking?? Are you sure she's had less units of ethanol in her internal system than Mother Granger???

Wow, good catch there. In the video she even said "I think it kind of made ME aware..." which is just blatant plagiarism. In case she needs a reminder of what that means:
So, in simple terms, she ripped Aciman's idea and passed it off as her own. I know GossipGuy's been saying forever she Frankensteins other people's work, but here we have PROOF of it. This is actually crazy. No citations, nothing. How she's possibly able to graduate with a FIRST is bonkers. How is no one sounding the alarm at her uni?
"It’s not things happening, really, but the possibility of them happening which is much closer to real life"...welcome to something called THINKING, Rubes!! You should try it more sometimes.
How are those 2 reviews equally as bad as each other? Shows she hasn't learned or matured from 2020.
And if her writing/ reviews/ analysis are THIS bad, I'm dying to read one of her academic essays. Come on Rubes, just show us ONE! Your best one, if possible
. If you got a first, there's nothing to lose, right? If you proudly published the steaming pile of sh*t that is Erimenthol Parks, it can't be worse, can it? If you're worried someone is going to plagiarize your brilliant thoughts- well, that's the least of your concerns.''He does interesting things with form and speech": so...writing??

Ruby’s just regressing like crazy, isn’t she? Back at home, back at school - what’s next, climbing back into the womb? I get that she felt important at school but seriously, it’s time to move on because it’s eventually going to get embarrassing for everyone. I’m sure the school says alumni are welcome but what they usually mean by that is they can visit on the odd open day or make financial donations (it’s called charity, Rubes, look it up). They don’t mean that you can hang around forevermore like a bad smell, inviting yourself to play at teacher for an ego boost.

Hi, new commenter (long-time lurker). Just had to share this comment I saw on her recent YT short video "Italy daily vlog", and my thoughts on it.
I think Ruby's comment sums up her approach to basically everything and this outlook is a big part of her problems. She seems to think that if she acts as though she likes reading, writing, academia, specific fashions, travelling, being vegan, etc., for long enough, that one day actual joy should come from those for her.
She seems to be going about growing a personality all backwards. Instead of naturally discovering one likes something, developing and broadening that interest, and eventually it becoming part of your personality, Ruby seems to have imagined a personality she wants to have and is trying to force herself into it. Except she doesn't actually force herself to do things like read more or become a better writer, probably because it is just not a natural way of being. (Plus being malnourished cannot be aiding her willpower.)
I think if Ruby truly enjoyed writing, her writing would be significantly better, even if she was not producing masterpieces. Loads of people have hobbies and interests that they are not naturally gifted in, and still manage to improve them with the practice that comes naturally when often doing something you love.
I think she needs to take a step back and really consider what she enjoys doing, and then do it without the pressure of videoing it or immediately making it a core personality trait. For example, enjoying writing does not need to equal being a "writer". I do not have high hopes for this to happen though.

"Desirable vegan cooking creations" Is this an article from an alternate universe?

Just a quick question... Am I really the only one here who loved going on holidays with their parents? I only stopped going on holidays with my parents when I started University ("late" because of health issues I won't go into too much) at 24. I never felt ashamed nor was I ever shamed by anyone. People were actually envious or jelaous because I could go to places during every school holiday, while they were stuck at home 
this was me
my friend had recently sent me something on ruby granger so i wanted to confront her on it, i wasn’t ‘trolling’ as some may of put it i was just asking why she felt the need to profit off of the holocaust and her fans found it offensive of me to ask 
i had no idea about tattle life until my friend sent me a screenshot of my messages on here lol!rubysdeadfly

This. She cheated and shortcutted her way through her degree in plain view and at no point learned anything.
She didn't learn how to be independent as a person. She didn't learn how to think criticality. She didn't socialise with anyone different from her. She didn't gain a wider understanding of literature because she didn't do the reading. She didn't learn how to do her own work. She didn't learn how to think for herself. Her flimsy grasp of the English language never improved and she graduates still unable to form basic, coherent sentences and with no understanding of things as simple as punctuation.
She's the exact same person she was now as when she started, only she looks like she's aged 50 years and her brain has turned to complete mush.
She might have a First now, but that's no measure of her intelligence since the work wasn't her own. Her degree ultimately won't open any new doors for her in the grand scheme. And she robbed herself of all the growth and learning opportunities presented by university. It was all meaningless.
If she's proud that she pulled the wool over the eyes of her university, fooled her lecturers and got away with it all with the bare minimum of work, that's one thing. But she didn't earn her grades through intelligence and hard work. She scammed her way through, and wasn't even good at hiding it.
I really hope that somewhere deep down, under all the narcissism and the Peter Pan complex and all the "Mummy, mummy! Oiy got a FARST!" smug attention-seeking egotism, she knows that she didn't earn it. She didn't work for it. It all means nothing. And if she was fairly graded on the intelligence and aptitude for English she displays daily, she would've failed immediately.
"Don't want to fake productivity or anything haha!"
Might want to take a look at all the "6 weeks of stuff condensed into one fabricated "day" in my life" videos or the "I read 57 books in just 1 day (p.s. they were mostly takeaway flyers and short stories that I just skimmed a sentence of)" vlogs there, Ruby.
Fake productivity IS YOUR IDENTITY.

It's funnier because it says it's her outfit from last night i.e. this is her idea of eveningwear and her inspiration for it seems to be "private primary school girl being taken out for dinner by her parents without time to go home and change first". Like people should dress however they want but Ruby seems to be cosplaying children and it's weird.When even Mother Granger thinks you look stupid, it’s time to rethink yourENN SAMBLAY

The fun thing about "Call me by your name" and Ruby being so inspired by it that she travelled to Italy is....it's set in Northern Italy, like, a ten hour drive from where she is. I'm pretty sure the book and the movie are known for this. So she couldn't even travel to somewhat close to the book's setting, because to her Italy is just Italy, everywhere's the same. So cultured.
