I just tried to find an old video of Ruby's and I think she may have taken it down. It was one of her "reset days", and I distinctly remember the thumbnail but it doesn't come up on her page anymore. I remember her cleaning her coconut bowl with some oil on a piece of kitchen roll and doing some kind of yoga or stretching. I think it was first year uni, though it could've been second. Does anyone else remember that?

Wait okay I wasn't making it up, I found it on bilibili. https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1bt411t7oX/?spm_id_from=333.337.search-card.all.click. Idk why she took it down. Weird!

The problem ist that Ruby was never interested in education or better to say: Find a job after college. When she would be really intersted in that she would have done research and had known that their are way better option. But it is all about the looks. Here live is a like a Potemkin Village.
From the outside it seems she is interested in education, how to learn, how to make the best out of school, college, to really give tipps students. To be a mentor, coach, guide. But there is no substance. And I get it were she come from. Again. I think she had a rough childhood, not so happy family live. So you look after something what you can controll and more importantly give you all the attention and praise you did not get from your parents. And she found a way better then getting A Grades: Youtube and Instagram where hunderts of viewers can not only praise her but she can the control the narrativ: With what she shows and with what comments she allowes.
The way she learned worked really well in school: All the notes and tons of papers and folders and all the hunderts pages of bullet points. But this is not the way learning works in college or better to say: you impress a tutor. in College you are not only to show what you have learned by your heart but also what it means to you, what you have learned from it and where you can use this knowledge. Reflection is the key.
Ruby complete failed in it.
When Ruby would have been ever interested in education, in learning, in English Literature - she had done the research. But she didn't.
It is all the image and during the time of her parents: Oxford or Yale: This was the way to go. Where Parents could be proud of you. Where you can make a career. But these times are over. Their are so many colleges out there with a very good departments and a very good career guide. And Ruby had known it when she would have substance. But she never had. It is all Fake.
View attachment 1602974Yep or St Andrews! Looks like a mini Oxford and she wouldn't have been able to go home so often
Please nobody think I'm dissing Exeter, it's a great uni with a great English department, but there's other unis where she really could have fulfilled her dark academia fantasies and come away inspired

My sister went to St Andrews and loved her time there. It's a quiet town, but right next to the sea and full of old buildings. The uni has a sheltered feel that would have suited Ruby. I also wonder if she applied to Durham and got rejected. I suspect the English department gets lots of applications - possibly even more than Oxford? I think Ruby chose Exeter partly because it's so close to home. Durham and St Andrews are too far north for her, unfortunately.
She should have gone for the university, not the course. It's a hard choice to make, I had to do it I don't mean studying a subject you hate, I'd never advise that, but I wanted a really oversubscribed subject and went for one I liked a little less so I could get the uni I wanted Ruby seems to be interested in a broad range of subjects so going for English which must be THE most popular was risky
Is there a thread on here for uni students and aspiring students at any level from undergrad to masters btw? It might be fun to start one, Tattle users are so smart and chatty rather than that Student Room place which is like a playground

I really like this idea. I wonder if there's a specific thread for language learners? I'd been doing a Spanish night class, but it stopped when lockdown happened, then went online. I want to restart and it's always more fun to learn languages with other people. Totally agree about The Student Room btw. There's so much snobbery! They're like an army of mini Jack Edwards.
Anyway, sorry for taking this thread off topic.Done! https://tattle.life/threads/the-student-thread.33782/. You can do a language learners one too, was thinking about doing an evening class myselfI really like this idea. I wonder if there's a specific thread for language learners?

Do we reckon Ruby posts on the Student Room? Not to be exclusionary to people who haven’t heard of it but it’s the UK’s most popular student forum and full of snobs who judge people by their uni
Hello fellow German! I haven't watched the video yet. But it's going to be really cringey, I used to work in Edinburgh and I know the place quite well. Seeing her stumbling about in one of my favourite cities is probably going to make me irrationally angryIm German and I watched that video and didnt even realize she mentioned Goethe before reading in here. I thought it was just some random poet I hadnt heard of... Ouch
her commenters are so thick it astounds me. do they really think that she came up with the phrase “stone’s throw” by herself?
if i didn’t know any better i would assume this comment was sarcastic
They're probably not a native speaker and have never heard this phrase before
I don't know if I have the patience to recap the whole thing, it's all just so boring. It's just one endless montage of Ruby staring in fake childlike wonder at things, smiling lovingly at mummy, robotically reading poetry by others and atrocious poetry of her own, and parroting half-remembered factoids about things she doesn't care about.Damn, she's graced us with an hour's worth of content over two days! I don't think I can get through all that without an aneurysm but @gossip_guy I'm looking forward to your hilarious reviews
It never ceases to amaze me just how dull Ruby manages to make these amazing places look. She's trekked to Paris, Italy and Edinburgh over the past few months and yet her life still looks hopelessly boring and bleak.
I really hope for her and her mum's sake she actually did something normal and natural off-screen on this trip that they actually enjoyed outside all the fake bullshit, because otherwise it's just a sad waste of time.
Ruby has zero genuine interest in reading or literature. She spend the entirety of her English Lit degree doing everything possible to avoid having to read anything, whether getting Blakeney to summarise things or reading Sparknotes instead of the text. She reads almost nothing for personal enjoyment and just lies about it. So what enjoyment is she getting out of making this whole trip all about her fake literary persona?
She stuffed the suitcase trunk full of books she won't read, saw landmarks dedicated to authors whose work she'll never read, journaled the same old inane drivel about the weather. She goes to a few book shops just to rub her dirty fingers across everything in sight, only to buy nothing. She makes her mum stop the car so she can twirl by the roadside. She stiltedly and overdramatically reads poetry aloud for what she claims is 90 minutes of the car journey and makes mummy listen to the Pride & Prejudice soundtrack.
One of the few occasions where she leaves her dusty cave of a room to experience somewhere new and she just wastes the trip putting on the same old performance of lies and fakery. What a dreary, hollow, pathetic existence.
She doesn't look particularly happy at any point, and is just doing her usual "gorp wistfully at things like a child seeing civilization for the first time" thing, and it doesn't look any more natural. The major exception is that Ruby looks absolutely bleeping delighted every time she turns back to see that her mum is still there and she hasn't run off to join a better family.
That's half the video: Ruby performatively walks sheepishly towards something, gazes in fake wonder at random things, turns to her mummy to look for approval and then looks overjoyed that she's still there to tell Ruby how special she is for dressing herself and writing her own name.
If you think that's an exaggeration, then behold:
That's not even every example, I just got bored of making gifs after a while.
What's even more ridiculous is her yo-yoing between trying desperately to be a small child and trying desperately to prove she's a HOIYLY ADDJUCAYTED authority in literature and history.
She wants to be a child again so much that she's starved herself half to death to try to achieve that goal, but the end result is her looking older than her mother.
One minute she's addressing the camera with a claw-handed, bobble-headed, half-baked educational factoid about Hamlet as though she's an expert in the field, the next she's awkwardly and childishly trying to climb a tree in Doc Martins and MISSPAH TEENA DRASS.
When she's not climbing trees and clinging to mummy for dear life, she's engaging in her favourite pastime of reaching for books she has no interest in from the high shelves to make herself look VARRY small and young:
Neither her childlike fake persona nor her academic tour guide one are anything but cringeworthy and hilarious.
(Ruby decides that being a whole two feet away from mummy is simply far too much distance and takes a step closer.)
Ruby is so compulsively attached to her mother that you can't pry her away with a crowbar at this point, but it's hilarious that for all her overattachment, Ruby just does not seem to give a single duck about her mother at all.
Mummy Bones mentions that she's been absolutely raving about wanting to go on the Caledonian Sleeper to Scotland for years. Despite her husband swimming in cash from all the earnings he hid away in an off-shore tax haven and Ruby getting rich from pilfered charity cash and endless sponsor money for products she never uses, neither one of them cared to take mummy on her relatively inexpensive dream holiday until Ruby got it for free. And she's forced to spend the whole trip catering to Ruby's whims, holding her camera, following her hourly schedule of dull tasks, praising her stupidity and enabling her madness. Syo koind and kahhring.
Even when they're not touring the city, Ruby makes mummy do all the same things as her. When Ruby reads, mummy must read. When Ruby "JARRNALS", mummy must "JAHRRNALL".
"The sky was blue yesterday, as it always was, but clouds hurried inwards as we passed Perth, farting together, merging with mist and tree and sky...THE ORDINARY/NORMAL IS ANYTHINK BUT."
It bears repeating: This illiterate, braindead fuckwit was given a First in English Literature by Exeter University. Here she is writing bad poems about what the weather was like while her and her mummy practiced synchronised flatulence.
Ruby is incapable of writing about anything but the weather, or nature, trying desperately to imitate all the poetry clichés she can. But what's the point in that for journaling? Where's the self-exploration in just running the weather report through a thesaurus? Who needs to look back on their old diaries to see nothing but a record of how blue the sky was?
She writes a poem about seagulls, because she was looking at a seagull at the time. Such imagination! This isn't even the first poem about seagulls that she's written recently! Everything she does in life is a rehashed slice of lazy ineptitude.
Ruby and her mummy fail at using the satnav, shoving in "Lochness" (not "Loch Ness"), not checking their recommended route and ending up on a street with "Lochness" in it, giving the distinct impression that Mummy Bones just keyed in some random bullshit, didn't take a second glance and just followed the directions anyway.
They find it absolutely hilarious that a street near Loch Ness is named Lochness View. These sheltered Tory assclowns have apparently never being out in the world at all, since the fairly common occurrence of streets and buildings being named after the places that they're in or near is just so funny and completely absurd to them. I bet Ruby's mind will be blown when she realises that most towns have a main street called Main Street and her mother will die laughing at how "funny" this information is. Daddy Bones won't notice she's died for several weeks.
"DISASTER STROIKES! Oiy cannot foind my rain hat!" - A sentence said sincerely by Ruby with no trace of self-awareness.
Ruby opines that more people who read TV might read books if they had more pictures in them, as though all people who watch TV are illiterate dimwits who require visual aids. The irony is that Ruby never watches TV, can barely read or use words and almost exclusively reads picture books aimed at small children.
Ruby mispronounces almost every name she uses in this video. She also mentions that she and mummy "OFFCWOARSE" went into a book shop because they "couldn't resist walking past". Umm, you did resist walking past, that's why you went inside. Again, she was given a First for English, despite no understanding of it. Good job, Exeter, your credibility is unmatched.
This is a sponsored video paid for by VisitScotland for tourist promotion, but Ruby manages to make the sights and beauty of the area look incredibly dull - camerawork is inept and constantly shaking and tilting at Dutch angles, and whatever she's saying for half the video is completely drowned out by the wind smacking the camera mic.
Scotland is full of wide, green vistas, but Ruby captures half of it in cramped portrait view footage. She has a huge disposable income - no filmmaking equipment is out of her reach - yet even after 7 bleeping years of this, she's never improved in any way, and things like lavalier microphones, microphone windscreens, camera gimbals and tripods have just never occurred to her, meanwhile she'll spend £2,000 on an iMac she doesn't need.
They took a drone with them but only used it for one shot...of the motorway car park. Such majestic scenery. Book your trip now!
Ruby keeps trying to show some scenic literary landmarks, but clearly has no interest in literature and can't be bothered with making a competent video despite being paid a substantial amount of cash to do so. So we get fake, robotic narration parroting information she read from nearby plaques passed off as her own knowledge, and half-assed shots like the above, where mummy steps into frame to kick away a piece of gum/trash, but Ruby was just too bleeping lazy to get a second, clear take, so this is all you see of this pavement monument.
The editing is the usual incoherence, but Ruby has gone one step further. You might remember from previous videos that Ruby recorded a bunch of random birdsong one time, but refused to say what it was for, then it quickly became clear that she was just slapping the ambient birdsong on her videos without a moment's thought as to whether it would fit. The sounds of birdsong loudly drowned out her voice in her own bedroom.
Here it's even more hilariously stupid: From 5:01 onwards, Ruby has added clear birdsong audio over shots of her wandering around the inside of an Edinburgh city hotel...
VisitScotland should ask for their money back.
to be fair: you have to have talent when you are able not to show how beautiful scotland, his nature and edinburgh is and the only thing you want to do after watching this video leaving this country asp. Well. I mean. Maybe its a new trend in Tourism: Don't show how pretty your town is, show us reasons not to visit you and maybe we will book a trip.
Is it me or does Ruby's fashion scream 'I WOULD LOVE TO RETURN TO THE EDWARDIAN ERA'!!!
Excuse the silly question but aren't all tea supposed to be vegan anyway? I never saw a beef tea or a chicken one, so unless you put milk in it, it'll always be vegan, won't it? She really makes the simplest things super complicated.Mini rant, but why, when narrating that she drank tea or coffee or ate a meal does she have to specify that it is VEGAN. We get it, the word doesn't need repeating everytine you consume something. Just say you had dinner, and that it was 'BAH-TAH-nut Squash' or whatever. Just say you drank tea without saying it was of course VEGAN tea.
IMO, it makes vloggers look smug or pious when ALWAYS specifying the food like this all the time. Like a fixation. Just say you had tea, and it was nice. We can assume by default that it will be vegan.
(Pretty much every video is like that)
"trally"
Ruby humble-brags about her imaginary perfectionism again. It'd be slightly more believable if she could make it two words without a typo.
Since she's not doing anything with her life, she can't write about anything else, really. All she does all day, everyday, is hide in her dusty bedroom, starve herself to death and have walks in her garden. With no experience of live whatsoever, it's no wonder that girl can't write anything publishable.
i was looking at roobee’s hair and i would loooove to see her try the curly girl method, if done properly i think it could really work for her since her hair seems very frizzy and prone to waving
and of course, she absolutely NEEDS to get her hair cut by a professional, it’s painful how neglected it looks

Now I watched the whole video. And man, Edinburgh is the top place I really wanna visit in the near future. Me and a friend had a trip half-planned for early 2020 which.. Didnt happen ofc..
So I thought the video would make me super jealous, but tbh Ruby's trip looks sooo boring. I'm sure Edinburgh is an amazing place, but Ruby sure doesnt show it. Its also hilarious to me how surprised she is by the Scott monument. Didnt she do like 5min of google research about the place she was going to?
The whole trip just seems like shes walking around with Mummy. She's rattling off facts about the few places they go to like a second-class travel guide, instead of giving any of the atmosphere or how things on the trip made her feel, what she thought about them etc.
Its just like "This is the castle of the king who inspired Macbeth. Also we wanted to see cows. So we saw cows. It was weird bc they didnt run away."
Like every video everything just seems so drab and dull. I think its really not healthy for her to film everything she does bc it seems like she is just cosplaying Hermione for her followers instead of thinking of things that actually excite her. Or well, she could do an authentic video for once, but we all know that's not gonna happen...

I know and how did she not know about the Scott’s Monument before she went to Edinburghgood god, she can’t pronounce anything right, can she? it’s caledoniaN sleeper, not caledonia
View attachment 1602363
i’m being so nitpicky but she acts like she’s the first to discover anything in edinburgh?? “we spotted this huge monument!!” it’s right in the middle of the most tourist filled street in the city, i’d be more concerned if you missed it
