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

[Whisper2Me]

The thing about this entire video that really grinds me is that she feels so sorry for the Brontes and what kind of literature they had to read. The Pilgrim's Progress is a classic for a reason. Centuries of people grew up on it and even in Little Women they played "Pilgrims" and their entire life referred back to it. The Brontes, the Alcotts, and everyone else loved this book and its influence on how to live a good life. Okay, Rubes, you are not Christian and it means nothing to you. But for those who were, which includes basically all the famous American and British authors of the 19th century, this book was treasured and even families who had very few books in their possession usually owned the famous five. A Bible, Book of Common Prayer, The Pilgrim's Progress, a book on gardening or sermons, and an almanac. If a book doesn't have a rich white girl living a dreamy life in a boarding school or with a new family (this says something about how she feels about her own family) , she doesn't like it. Her opinions just show how narrow minded she is and how restricted her reading has been over the past 22 years.

Why is she so amazed over a book on birds being highly descriptive and informative? That is what non fiction usually is. Especially a guide book. I mean, wtf is going on in her mind, or should I say that very small space between her eyes?

And omg the arm and the claw. Just stop gesticulating all the time. I want to tie her freaking arms to the chair. It gets worse and worse. Just another stupid video from a very stupid woman.

The real mystery is why she burned the poem and not the collar at the same time.

I don't know why she would be qualified to teach English, I could understand her being a teaching assistant but I can't imagine her doing well with a class of teenagers, and teenagers who have social media, I can imagine them just taking the piss out of her. I might be projecting but I know for certain that if any of my teachers were on youtube, it would have been found out and it would be the source of mockery in my school Can you even imagine Ruby being the slightest bit authoritative enough to discipline a class/ pupil when it's being disruptive?

I think that she is going to be in for a shock when the job actually starts as teaching English is a lot different than writing a few essays. I couldn't imagine just being a history teacher just because I've got a history degree, you need some work experience at least. She can barely describe a book that she has apparently read and not use the word 'cool.' She just seems so poorly qualified to be a proper teacher, especially when she is so childlike herself. I just can't imagine anyone taking her seriously and someone is bound to find the Hermione videos or her running around the garden like an escaped victorian asylum patient.

I don't know if she is hoping to be a Miss Honey figure or some other teacher from a book that she has read in her teaching style. Hope it goes well for her but I see it being a distaster.

I think that's what felt so weird about the RV video. If it was two best friends in their twenties and they drove the van somewhere and stayed in it for a night away it would feel a lot more...age appropriate?

Like that sounds really fun, but doing it in your parents van in your parents driveway is giving Year 8 vibes - where you would have your friends over and "camp" in the living room or the garden and feel really cool but ur mum is in the next room watching eastenders

As someone who disliked school because teachers claimed I wasn't paying attention or didn't care enough when I was struggling with mental health issues I would rather eat sand than have a teacher like Ruby especially after she said she doesn't understand why people don't try in school. She seems like the kind of person to be like it's so easy when you say you don't understand something. I ended up mentoring and running study sessions during my BSc and MSc degrees because I don't learn in a traditional sense and turns out people just like me don't benefit from learning the way schools teach it yet Ruby who benefitted from the typical school format will not be able to help students in that way. I can imagine a kid struggling to learn and her being like use my productivity planner x

 

[slamvs27]

Every time she comes out with one of her grandstanding "WE tend to think that..." declarations, it just shows how utterly detached from reality she is - all these things she thinks "we" do or think are almost always just Ruby things. This is what happens refuse to age past 12 or step even a little outside your own backyard. A little more time outside her bedroom bubble and insular social circle growing up might've given her the perspective and experience she desperately needs.

All this nonsense about her being an INTROVARRT in a WARRLD OF AXTROVARRTS never rings true either. She's not an introvert who's happiest and most at peace in her own company, she's a scared, self-important moron desperately trying to be anyone but herself.

Introvert here, we don't claim her. She gives the word a bad rep.

Hello I'm miss Granger I mean bones ummmmmm today we are going to have a productive day
To start with I'm going to give everyone there planners I've put my bank details in it for your parents to pay me for them.

There was lots of "JANUINELY moiy parents did NWOT give me money fwore the deposit, JANUINELY! OIY PROMISE YOO" denials, so it's a given that daddy put up the deposit.

Mortgage lenders are notoriously reluctant to lend to influencers because there's rarely a consistent, sustainable income, so I don't believe for a second that she got a mortgage at 18 when her channel was relatively new without her parents being heavily involved and putting up cash.

There was also lots of "Oiy'm JANUINIELY nwot making this video johst tyoo brag and byoast!" disclaimers, she "JANUINELY" saw it as a big step in her "parrsonal devalopmant" to be able to overcome her fear of living alone and was "johst syo acksoyted" to...buy a house that she had no intention of living in for several years at least. So it's a given that she uploaded the video just to brag and boast.

Watch the video in the Wiki and take a shot any time she says "JANUINELY". Your liver will be pickled before the video's finished.

Ruby Granger #36 [Lying] JANUINELY

 

[Griftwood]

oh goody, I’ve been dying to know what she does in the mornings

 

[SharyBobbins]

Why the random beret too? 🫣

Oh they were all the rage on the York Moors in the late 1700s.

 

[Satisfying Click]

Is she... is she sitting outside, in the dark, in candlelight?

 

[berkeleymoon87]

I'm confused as to why her LinkedIn states that she graduated in 2023. Did she do this to make it seem like she hasn't been out of school for that long? Or is it just a mistake?

Also, adding Trampolining Society and Harry Potter society (VP) is definitely not the kind of thing you add to a professional LinkedIn profile as an adult. I wouldn't even have added this to my academic resume as a teen. Lol.

 

[Satisfying Click]

GHOST RUBY!

(I think the comments about her poor video editing got to her)

 

[opal73]

Sorry but when she has this vacant expression this is where my mind goes...lol

Ruby will probably commend Heathcliff on his productivity, "Heathcliff kept a list where he made a mark depending on whether Cathy was with him or the Lintons."

"A morning routine of Hareton Earnshaw and his ethanolic father."

 

[anakinskywalkers]

Ruby on Goodreads: “An Astronomical book, one of the greatest classics. I read it while pondering the inclement moors. Brontë’s writing is abstract in the most carnal way. The wuthering heights were my most very favourite part.”

 

[gossip_guy]

If she'd stepped out of her bubble even a little at uni instead of running home every 5 seconds to cocoon herself in her dusty bedroom tomb, she'd have realised that most people, especially Gen Z, don't give a shit and are very supportive and encouraging when people are natural extroverts.

But Ruby's view of the world is so sheltered and out-of-touch. She's spent a lifetime with mummy and daddy telling her she's a very special genius and everyone's jealous of her because she's so smart. Her tiny social circle is a curated group of family, family friends and people exactly like her. Even her fellow influencer connections are all just like her: Narcissistic, privileged studytube grifters with an inflated idea of how smart and talented they are.

Most of her ideas about how society works seem to come from that echo chamber and the middle-grade bullying books she stole her fabricated life experiences from. She thinks the world will stuff her in her locker or shove her head in a toilet for studying and not going out partying every weekend. Her parents have told her she's special and never wrong, and simplistic kids books told her that there are smart people who read and dumb people who party and nothing inbetween.

Every time she comes out with one of her grandstanding "WE tend to think that..." declarations, it just shows how utterly detached from reality she is - all these things she thinks "we" do or think are almost always just Ruby things. This is what happens refuse to age past 12 or step even a little outside your own backyard. A little more time outside her bedroom bubble and insular social circle growing up might've given her the perspective and experience she desperately needs.

All this nonsense about her being an INTROVARRT in a WARRLD OF AXTROVARRTS never rings true either. She's not an introvert who's happiest and most at peace in her own company, she's a scared, self-important moron desperately trying to be anyone but herself.

I usually feel like having a good understanding of Ruby's personality traits and ways of thinking, but this is something I don't get about her. She comes across as highly concerned about other people's opinion of her (to the point where she invents an entire online persona), but she does seem to be able to cope with the fact that Tattle exists.

I think Ruby is so assured of her superiority (Erimentha's character was arrogant to the point of obnoxious), she has probably self-soothed with the idea that we're all neanderthals who party and drink too much ethanol.

 

[gossip_guy]

i’m remembering so much about that book now (including the stomachache/toilet scene) and there is no way on any level that she read that. twice! it’s just not a book i can see her vibing with or truly taking in, it speaks about sex in such a visceral way!

she probably just went “the themes are really important” or whatever soundbite she tends to use and moved on

I'm still convinced that the sum total of her knowledge of CMBYN is:

1. People on the internet liked it a lot.
2. It takes place in Italy.
3. Someone eats a peach at some point.

She's definitely never read it and not only is she too stupid/lazy to convincingly lie about it, her insistence on waving around books and things she thinks she knows about them will always digs a hole for her.

During her Italy vlog/s she waved the book at the camera like a prop at every opportunity because she wanted people to think she'd read it and it was a TROOLY MAJIKOL ACKSPERIENCE for her to be in Italy, JOHST LOIYKE IN THE BOCK.

And because she hadn't read it, she thought she'd continue this trend by showing that she was also in Italy eating peaches, JOHST LOIKE IN THE BOCK, HOW IMMARRSIVE!

Only she hadn't read it, so she didn't realise the context, then showed herself violently smashing a peach into her face:

Whoops.

Sure, Jan.

There's no way you'd just forget about that part of the book, especially if you'd read it twice, once immediately before making this video. She had no clue what happened in the book until she got questioned about it and then lied yet again.

She's also reviewed it twice and they're both hilariously dumb, suspiciously vague and completely incoherent. Maybe she'll pretend to read it again in 2024 to make a tradition of it.

"Making space for boredom."
"Prioritising boredom."
"Allow yourself to be bored and create."

Umm...what?

Leisure time shouldn't be boring. Creative outlets shouldn't be boring. You should have things in your life that you enjoy doing that aren't "PRODOCKTIVE". Life isn't supposed to be just work and boredom and boredom isn't something to aspire to. You shouldn't be trying to punish yourself with boredom to try to force yourself to be productive; leisure time is supposed to be fun and relaxing, not an after-school detention.

This might be the stupidest thing she's ever said. How is every single video she makes even dumber and more toxic than the last? She tries so hard to sound profound and scholarly, yet every indescribably stupid thing she says sound like a Derek Zoolander quote.

"Oiy was surpoyzed that the stars weren't paler."

"Sommtoimes it can seem impossabul tyo...trigger creativity. THIS IS THE BIG QUASSCHUN: How dyoo wee myake oursalves cre--[loud sounds of boiling water tap drowning out everything] How dyoo wee GAT OUTSALVES tyoo...DO sommthing creeyaytive and what does that does that even mean? This...is sommthing oiy've been thinking about recently...and...oiy dyon't have an awwhnser for it? ...Boht...oiy dyoo have thoughts...and oiy...think it has sommthing tyoo dyoo with...toiyme."

Because Ruby's videos are all just a predictable assembly line of cliches at this point, she naturally starts quoting WROYTAHS to try to prove whatever point she thinks she's trying to make about whatever she's babbling about. "Neil Gaiman wonce wryote..."

"Tyooday, howavver, was SLOIGHTLEE different...to whan...oiy...yeeshully sit down and wroyte sommething. BECOZZ...oiy was taking the advoyce of JAY DEE SALINGER. At least...oiy think it was him...[Triumphant music plays]"

Apparently J.D. Salinger may or may not have encouraged writing things just to burn them to focus on "the pro-sass" and not the "dass-tinayshun".

Ruby writes a poem just to burn it, which is something she should do with all her creative projects, but then she stores the ashes in her room. Ruby somehow believes that burning another of her bullshit poems about the weather and seagulls was such a profound loss to the literary world that she needs to put it in a little urn on a shelf to mourn this tragedy.

And then she uses these ashes to paint a picture, to channel this literary loss into a wonderful new creation - a creative reincarnation, "loiyke a phoenix".

Umm...well, that looks about on par with the quality of her poetry. It's like if a turd was reincarnated as a darker, more worrying turd.

"Oiy...want tyo laahrnn and oiy want to gat batter."

My favourite part is when - in this video that's supposed to be about "making room for boredom" - Ruby says she was getting distracted by her phone and this is simply unacceptable. People aren't allowed to enjoy their free time, apparently. She flips her phone over to hide the screen, but that's not enough to shield herself from the horrors of unproductiveness, so she picks her phone back up just to angrily smash it against the kitchen table, because that's totally normal.

But the footage she chose to show on her phone is unintentionally hilarious...

Not to worry, Ruby, I have the same reaction of horror and disgust when seeing Jack Edwards.

What a meandering mess of toxic productivity nonsense and undeclared ads this video was and what a pathetic and empty life she's living.
