All I can think of when I hear that song
Getting a publishing deal also doesn't necessarily mean your work is good. Plenty of garbage gets published because it taps into a lucrative trend or demographic or because the author is an influencer and already comes with a somewhat substantial fanbase of potential buyers.
Am I going mad, or has she deleted a load of posts with Blakeney in from her instagram?
She'll reupload them when she's finished pasting her new bff Natasha's face over Blakeney's in all of them
Surely a gap year is something you take between school and uni? I can understand the reasoning there for schools giving the advice that you shouldn’t do ‘nothing’ but Ruby’s not really taking a traditional gap year, she’s just delaying making any choices about her future. Not going into employment after uni isn’t really a gap year, it’s just … not working. Which is fine if you can afford to do that but it’s not a ‘gap year’. Ruby is technically now a NEET - someone between 16-24 who is not in education, employment or training (ok she has sort-of employment though YouTube the effort there is minimal).
Not my googling what NEET stands for to find out its literally Not (in) Education Employment Training
If she has any common sense, she'd have seen the red flags in her agent. She rushed to sign Ruby based on a complete mess of a first draft with no interesting concept, terrible writing and paper-thin characters. Almost no agent would touch a rough first draft, especially with the quality of writing and ideas that Ruby has to offer. Then her agent markets the book using her fake influencer name more prominently than the plot. Ruby's agent clearly only signed her for her name, not her writing.
Her agent also doesn't appear very successful, and the few sales she's had are to tiny independent publishers or one owned by/with direct ties to the literary agency, so that doesn't bode well for Ruby.
If Ruby genuinely wanted to succeed based on the quality of her writing, she'd have ditched the fake influencer name or used another wildly different pseudonym, never mentioned her writing on social media and slogged it out like any other writer would. But Ruby doesn't want to work at anything and her egotistical brain will twist any easy reward based on her privilege as a reflection of how special and gifted she is.
And she also clearly doesn't actually want to write or enjoy it. She's just chasing fame and fortune by choosing the closest profession she can think of to fit her fake bookworm persona and chose to write in the most marketable genre she could think of despite disliking YA fiction.
I don't think she's remotely prepared for the onslought of rejection she's going to get from publishers though. Her best case scenario is a tiny book deal from a publisher nobody's ever heard of, which she only got for her name and for which she'll receive almost nothing. That reality isn't going to sit well with Ruby and her dreams of massive literary success, £1million advances and movie adaptations.
^ All I can picture now is Ruby "acting"/ starring in/ producing her own movie (like Tommy Wiseau or Neil Breen) on Mummy's budget. Heck. she's already pretending to read and clean in her vlogs, so it's not that far of a leap..
"You're tearing me APART,
Neil Breen is the perfect comparison for Ruby though; both seem like aliens trying desperately to figure out how to act humans, both have zero talent or charisma but unquantifiable ego, and they both think every bit of hilarious nonsense they produce is some profound work of art.
That and considering how much she wants to hide the fact that this book is just Erimentha Parker and the Lost Child, you'd think she'd choose a surname a little more different than Parton.
High-society poseur Ruby with her flask of pre-made tea. Pssh. Everyone knows that a proper proper picnic features your butler/servant making a campfire to boil water and prepare fresh tea there at the table!
They must also make sure to carefully position the campfire so that the smoke blows downwind, away from your table and onto those of others, ruining the picnics of the lesser proles and stifling their aspirations of climbing the societal ladder.
Then it's off into the woodlands of the English Heritage national park with tweed jackets on and shotguns at the ready; it's time to hunt wildlife and any remaining working class picnickers for sport!
Since when did she become the picnic police?
I'm going to look on Instagram to see if she really has been deleting Blakeney photos. #conspiracy
Update: I found Blakeney photos. Don't think she's been on a deleting spree.
Who brings fragile teacups on a picnic? Not saying you have to use disposable cups but this looks so extra lmao
My family has a bunch of reusable plastic cups that fold down to a disk. We use three of them + the top of the tea flask lol. I mean we usually have picnics when we go hiking in the mountains so it's not like we can carry a full porcelain teaset, a million tupperwares, a picnic basket and flowers in glass vases.
When you drive down for a posh park picnic with mummy’s Tory friends in your best dress, you can carry any amount of porcelain in your Fortnum&Mason picnic basket.
There are still Blakeney photos on there, but the most recent one is from March. I'm sure I remember at least four more recent ones- and didn't she do that Blakeney appreciation post a couple of months back? That one's goneSince when did she become the picnic police?

That "Allow me to tell you how much I love my BASStest FrAND ForeAVVER Blakeney by showing you how little I know about her!" post is still there along with some more recent ones. That was from February even though it seems like just last month that Ruby was going on an insane Blakeney-posting rampage for her birthday and likely creeping the living tit out of her.
Probably not a coincidence that Blakeney seemed to spend a lot less time around Ruby and featured in substantially less posts and videos after that, though.
I don't think Ruby ever got the memo that not everything has to go online. There is no obligation to update the internet every time you go on a day trip, try a new food, read a new book, or spend time with a friend. If you looked at my instagram you'd probably know the 3-4 people I spend the most time with but you wouldn't get paragraphs explaining every detail of our interactions.
But WHY am I looking at dirty spoons? They look so gross.
because it's Ruby!
