Ruby Granger #29 Is it soon yet?

[Griftwood]

lol she premiered her Vesuvius video but didn’t bother putting out an advance notification so she had like 100 viewers

she’s reading Ammily Dickinson pretentiously, someone’s boots crunching on the gravel mercifully destroy the audio, and the ”education” she blesses us with is half about Ammily’s use of punctuation, half about the fact that there are apparently two main types of volcanoes. (Google tells me there are three, but hey, what does Google know)

I was all set to cringe at yet another mispronunciation of Sufjan’s holy name, seeing as ”Vesuvius” is actually a masterpiece and he says his name in it, but either Roobee has never ventured beyond Carrie and Lowell, or the ”murdering ghost that you cannot ignore” was too much for her delicate sensibilities. I shall count my blessings.

Is she wearing huge mommy's heels? And why is she touching everything like a lunatic? This awkward video is so painful to watch, I get second-hand embarrassment.

I read Adolf Hitler in Vienna while seated, waiting for a performance of Der Ring to start

my god what a performative delusional kid

Why does she walk like some lizard person in the new video?

NOOOO I was not ready to hear her butcher the opening lines of my favourite book oh Daphne Du MAURICE must be rolling in her grave!!
Why is she dramatically touching a weird looking bottle of industrial whip cream/ a mini fire extinguisher?? Is it a nod to the burning house or is she just stupid?

Scary. Unexplained tapping noises, then a whisper ''hello it's roobee and I am in your walls.''

When the sun falls, you hear the whisper in your walls … the Rubadook wants to come out and play …

Noo. Quick, what will repel the Rubadook? With vampires it's garlic and sunlight. I'm thinking high-caffeine coffee and the threat of losing exam marks. Or maybe just hide her tea and she'll wither away?

Long time lurker here! English isn’t my first language

So apparently Rubella is a geologist/geographer now? I’m having flashbacks to the time she said she LOOOVED astrophysics. I can’t believe she actually included a whole segment about how volcanoes work?? I’m starting geography at uni this fall and I cringed so bad. Roobee, there are actually way more volcano types and they can be divided by so many different criteria, the two types mentioned in the video are pretty much the tip of the iceberg, I can’t even remember them all lol.

I have to say, one of the most annoying things about her for me is how she’s always trying so hard too seem like she just knows absolutely everything. I just wonder if she does this out of insecurity or does she genuinely think that reading about volcanoes as a kid makes her an expert on the topic.

It's progress since at least neither of two Mrs de Winters were little children!

 

[cathyt22]

ugh stop trying to "study tube" pompeii, rooby toosday! the world isn't your classroom. stop driveling on about nothing and just enjoy your vacation.

her "thoughtful" voice at the beginning of this vlog killed me

She looks like a hybrid between a Victorian chimney sweeper and a 12 year old trying on her mother's dresses in 1937

See if she wore that dress minus the ill-fitting heels and hat it would be fine. Why's she always trying to beret every outfit? Stop trying to make berets happen, Ruby! Sometimes they don't match.

Hi, welcome to the thread.

I'm thinking someone else owned this childhood classic. As an adult, any volcano facts I still remember come from this book.

The voiceover on her latest tiktok is so creepy. No music and just her pretend ‘whimsical, pensive’ voice. I feel like she’s in my walls

I really have discovered something at last.

Through watching so much at night, when it changes so, I have finally found out.

The front pattern does move—and no wonder! The woman behind shakes it!

Sometimes I think there are a great many women behind, and sometimes only one, and she crawls around fast, and her crawling shakes it all over.

Then in the very bright spots she keeps still, and in the very shady spots she just takes hold of the bars and shakes them hard.

And she is all the time trying to climb through. But nobody could climb through that pattern—it strangles so; I think that is why it has so many heads.

They get through...

HALLOOO IT'S RYOOBY

This is just… unfortunate.

Green chiffon billowy blouse, tucked into a low rise ill fitting velvet or corduroy shorts and then grey socks….why, Ruby, why?!!

Just seen the Pompei and Vesuvius vlog… what’s with the LOUD ASMR paper crunching?! Again, why, Ruby, why?!

 

[gossip_guy]

From her latest blatant undeclared ad for gifted tea on Tiktok:

There's another children's book you should read, Ruby:

Even if this is the rare occasion where you're telling the truth, you've lied so much about every little thing and shoved so many undeclared ads into every piece of content that nobody will ever believe you again.

Ironically, that book cover picture looks worryingly close to Ruby's recent outfits as well.

Off topic but I love Rebecca too. Probably my second favourite book of all time after 100 Years of Solitude

Didn't Erimentha also do a school project about volcanoes or something? Was that autobiographical? Or am I just misremembering that as I slowly but surely lose my remaining sanity due to daily exposure to Ruby's content?

ETA: And by the way, what happened to Ruby's other big educational project? The one where she's going to erect Holocaust monuments all over the country to educate the underfunded state school kids about the importance of using Notion? Or what was that again

I couldn’t sleep so I started scrolling through the thread and now I can’t stop laughing into my pillow. “Victorian chimney sweeper”, I’m in tears!

 

[dapacleoo]

Dear Roobee, please do ur next booklook on gollum from LOTR ~ I have never seen someone with such stark similarities from crazy eyes to balding hair, so no need to go all out with the aCtiNg xx

 

[VonSharkington]

Did she really describe planes as 'flying like a red kite' LMFAO please.
She's an English graduate, why can't she think of a better metaphor? Especially as she's clearly reading from a pre-written script.

I love flying, but no way would I get on a plane that flies like a kite!!!

Random thought about her new video: am I the only one who finds goggles in the sea another childish and quite juvenile thing, or am I being hypercritical?

If you’re swimming competitively, very fair, but goggles on holiday in the sea just makes me think of little children. Again, unsurprising with Ruby.

She might have been wearing contact lenses, in which case wearing goggles is recommended (at least by my optician! )

Ruby when she realises that people haven't forgotten about the Holocaust Memorial scam.
