Ruby Granger #35 Hello, it's Flu-bee!

[DrinaM]

Nick Cave? Sure sweetie.

 

[pinkmug]

Its just hit me:
1. What an actual waste of time, designing a layout on her tablet for the tea cupboard. Just tidy that shit up?
2. How fucking rude. Keeping all that tea in her parent's cupboard, in such a messy state.
3. She acts like its HER kitchen. Her onscreen text says 'I own a LOT of tea'. Get your own kitchen then, brat.

Right? This is wild to me. Her room is full of utter junk, she could just declutter it for good, stop hoarding an entire warehouse full of clothes she had when she was TWALVE just to show they still fit, get rid of dust collecting books she never reads and buy a damn cabinet to store all her personal stuff instead of piling it all in the cupboards downstairs.

If she made an honest (lol) video of parting with stuff she neither needs nor loves and donated them to someone who actually will use them, I'd love to watch that. Instead she'll move the place of the bed for the 6th time, buy another bib looking collar and pretend she's at Mallory Towers.

She has no love or care for anything she owns, it's truly jarring to see how she keeps and uses her belongings.

 

[Auga]

Part of the problem is that she doesn't see why they are cringey. As an adult she did a rewatch of one of her earliest toecurling Hermione impersonation videos and she was embarrassed because of the bad lighting!

 

[bookworm39]

thats why I specifically didn't buy glass straws but metal straws.

I haven't watched her video yet. maybe I do that tomorrow. I was busy the last day with looking for jobs and I'm a bit frustrated right now. I really should become a Youtuber and post my morning routine ... Getting out of bed at around nine, brushing my teeth, making my bed, open different windows wide to let fresh air in, breakfast, newspaper. maybe doing something for work. feeling down because I search for jobs and they all want 100 years of experience. feeling bad because I'm in my late 30s and I feel like I don't have enough to show for. and than those youtubers throw it in my face with how easy it all is.

Don't be too hard on yourself, things are really difficult right now, what with the pandemic, inflation, energy crisis, war, the climate crisis and everything else that's going on! Hardly anyone seems to be hiring right now, in fact the place I work for is not renewing people's fixed-term contracts, choosing to kick people out instead. I know it doesn't help you, I've been in that situation of desperately looking for work and getting rejection after rejection, but for what it's worth: I'm sure it's not you, it's the general shittiness of the situation right now *gestures at everything* I'm probably a year or two older than you, so I know what it's like to go back to uni as a mature student. Massive virtual hug to you!

Just thought I'd share that every time I see Ruby has replied to a comment my brain immediately says, "oh shut the fuck up Ruby", often before I've even fully read the comment- and after I read the comment I am vindicated, because my initial reaction is always appropriate. SHUT UP RUBY!

 

[DrinaM]

I think it's a speech-to-text add-in thing she's using. She uses it fairly often for reels and it's always wrong in some way and she never checks or takes a second shot at it. If human beings can't tell what the fuck she's saying half the time, it's no shock that a computer AI has no clue.

This happened the other day but it said 'support a bunker productivity dot org'

 

[Larancia]

Oh god, the audio for the stream glitched out when they recorded it, so now there's delayed audio of Ruby playing over the current audio of her talking and it sounds like there's duelling Rubies

Overlapping Ruby voices is not a new concept for us. Its a common practice in her videos anyway.

 

[Ilaariaa]

I personally think it must drive her parents crazy, having her around all the time. If they want her to go to work, they have to drive her because she can't drive. Then her anxiety condition (which I of course have empathy for) where they can't leave her in the house alone. All her tea cluttering up the cupboards, taking her mother's stamp box (Roob claims that they 'share it'). Then her content creating, they have to be out of her way while she does her videos. Having THEIR home constantly on the internet.

As parents, Im sure they are worried about her. But yeah. It must also be irritating. They are at the age when its nice to just have your own space, kids out of the home. Especially given that both their kids seem to be able to afford to move out.

Not to mention the fact that you can't trust her with anything more complicated than loading the dishwasher because she'll fuck it up.
Everyone I know who lives at home as an adult has taken on a more responsible role - not only do they usually work or study but they do chores, cook meals, take care of younger siblings/cousins or elderly relatives, run errands, etc. Some of them moved back home to help their families face a difficult time just by supporting them and taking things off their hands, by being an additional adult in the house that their family can turn to for help. None of them are just sitting at home allowing their parents to take care of them like a 10 year old.

 

[Eileen.G999]

Perhaps she'll be the professional curator of the family's landfill of a home library, teaching mummy her ABCs in her downtime, arranging home lectures for family "frands" and sending Martha a £2,700 late fee for a copy of an Ian McEwan book that she forgot she had in her possession.

i had a sudden flash back to ruby and blaney and their "library Cards|" for borrowing each others books and scanning the card with a hairbrush ?! am i remembering this right......?

 

[laynelo_]

She says percent as pruhcent and essay as aessey so she should never in a million years become a narrator of any fucking sort.

 

[MissTomato]

when she made her iced coffee..... it was like the opposite of those satisfying asmr short videos where people make beverages. the angle was all wrong, she spilled everything, and why t f did she pour milk first...

 

[londongirl92]

Was just about to say the same about Nick Cave. Definitely the Harry Potter song

Also she's dropped the D&G trousers from £83 to £68 lol (on Depop)

[Griftwood]

Ruby's so careless when it comes to her belongings. I don't know why it irks me so much. Suppose it just seems disrespectful somehow? Like she's ungrateful for things that other people would treasure.

This is what bothers me too. She keeps harping on about she’s SYO, SYO GRYATEFUL for everything, and makes a big show of paying lip service to her privilege (”mummy and daddy love me syo much and are syo supportive”), but NONE of this is reflected in her actions. She doesn’t take care of the things she has, and she sure as hell never shares her wealth unless she can gain something in the process. I’m guessing the reason she doesn’t declare a lot of her ads is because she’s just that used to receiving free crap, it’s lost all meaning. (But if there’s an affiliate code or something else that’ll profit her, she makes sure to share, of course.) She’s a money-grubbing, greedy little girl who’s used to just taking and taking and taking.

 

[bookworm39]

Ok, so which one of you commented on her Instagram?

 

[vwxyz]

She could've made an actual vlog in which they spent 8 hours in a van having fun and reacting to the book, which would've been a change from her usual repetitive routines. It might've even made Ruby seem (gasp) genuine to have her on-screen with another human being who was allowed to talk. But nope, same old shit in a faked video where they clearly spent half an hour in the van and she didn't read the book.

What a nice idea for her to use. But she/her management either don't read tattle or they just don't care which would be a shame. I've been on here for like half a year now and despite all the trolling, there has been such a great amount of ideas and inspiration for improvement. I've also compared Ruby's threads to other threads about other influencers which are beyond boring.

 

[pineapplesandcheese]

I've noticed that Ruby never talks up the Brontës, even though the sisters and their writing would seem to be perfectly aligned with her online image and purported interests. How does a supposed lover of literature, Victoriana, and moody atmospherics routinely ignore the Brontës? Too violent? Too sexy? Whatever the reason, I get the feeling she's not a fan, so it'll be interesting if she has to do some kind of academic instruction on Wuthering Heights.

Didn't she mention Villette once and just said that it's a 'school story from a teacher's perspective'?

 

[Redrose97]

I'm feeling like her recent tiktok mostly the one with her speaking about Shakespeare's is her trying to come off as more intellectual as she is and if she is trying to act like a master student and come off as intelligent.

Just as I've just started my course and in the introductions I've got a few people who are trying to do the same thing , they boast about the languages they apparently speak ect and it's almost as if they are trying to act the part of a master student and be and intellectual. Like they might actually be as they make me feel like I only got put on a course to meet a quota as I feel so unintelligent to them as I work in a shop. projections aside, I'm wondering if this is Ruby trying to adopt a master's student/Oxford persona.

 

[babygoats]

They all have their problems, but I think the main thing that sets Ruby apart from the rest of the studytubers is still the fact that her video making skills are so far behind.
Jade spews so much nonsense, but at least it looks nice. Their whole job is the aesthetic: planning and performing a nice video in their chosen style and topic, and Ruby really fails to deliver. As much as she keeps talking about aesthetics, her videos are always weirdly lacking. You can see what she is going for, but it never quite reaches the mark.
There are weird jumps, changes in volume and colors, inconsistent pacing, really bad framing of shots... And you can always see the awkwardness behind whatever she is doing. Not really in a quirky, endearing way but in the way how you sometimes look back at your own actions and realize that they were actually cringy and you did not come across how you intended. It is relatable in this sense, but also really weird and anxiety-inducing, at least to me.

On my CV I only listed the exams that are useful to clarify what my degree was in and what I learnt l. You could also write, for example, "Law degree with a focus on xx". It's not necessary to put every single thing you did in uni, no one cares.
A CV should be one or two pages max. If it's longer than that you're doing something wrong

A CV should only even hit the 2 page mark if your older and have years worth of relevant experience, I bet Ruby’s is 2 pages full of the same shite on her linkedin.
