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

[Griftwood]

She gets out of bed in her Snoopy pajamas, reads Prince Harry’s masterpiece while brushing her teeth, has green tea, eats breakfast, reads thirty pages, does some research, reads a middle grade book so she can recommend it to the other school children, goes outside, plans her day, checks her email, drinks iced coffee, and conveniently omits the fact that mummy/daddy/grandma drive her to school

Oh and on days she’s not working, she goes to ballet class with her grandmother.

That little "booklet" she read is more like a pamphlet. Is she seriously going to consider that as a book she has read? omg, talk about desperate measures.

I personally have no interest in reading Spare. Most people didn't know who Megan Markle was until they got engaged and those who did had a poor view of her. Harry would have been better off being a working Royal, imo. He says they left for privacy, then they write a book, make a show, go on talk shows. Where is this private life you so desired? Nothing but a messed up kid blaming everyone for his troubles. Yes, losing their mother was a horrible and traumatic thing. We all remember the tragedy. We never get a chance to forget it. But here in the US, we really wish all the news about both of them would just disappear. There are so many more important things in the world, right now, and as we don't have a monarch, we don't care all that much about what goes on behind closed doors. It sounds like basic family drama, to be honest, and any family can have it. He isn't special in that way. I don't want to hear about anyone's skeletons in the closet or their family drama, so a no read for me.

That being said, I am sure I can imagine some of the subjects that came up, as it has been in the tabloid headlines, and doubt she read every section. Like so many others, I feel like she is just wasting this year off and if she is going to try for Oxford, she sure is going down the wrong rabbit hole.

exactly. harry lived such a privileged so idk why he did this tbh. not to mention the fact he killed 25 people and said they were like chess pieces. he uses the excuse that they were taliban fighters but we all know they were normal civilians

I'm sorry but how does she have time to cram all these things in before she goes to work as the school hours are 8:30 to 5 because to me it doesn't seem that feasible. I have just noticed that she has titled the video 6am morning routine for work, yet halfway through the video she instead decides to film the next day when she isn't going to work which defeats the object of this video as her morning routine will be different on the days that she does go into work and on the days that she doesn't go to work.

Yeah exactly, and in the last clips she's back in the first outfit and says she leaves for work at 9am - to work in a school?? Like if that's true, this job she's got is cushier than I already imagined...

I have not watched the video yet, but that's nothing unusual if she does part time. Which I think she said at some point. If you don't teach the first hour of a day, you just leave at like 9, and other days you might be teaching from 8 to 5 or whatever.

I know why is she leaving the house at 9am to work at the school she should be in by 7:30 at the latest as the period 1 starts at 9:20, so she comes into the school depending on how long it takes her mum to drive her before break starts. Surely she doesn't leave the house everyday at 9am on the days that she does work.

the way she applies face products is so irritating - using only your pointer fingers must be the least practical way to apply makeup and skincare ever. she also doesn’t wear nearly enough spf to get adequate UV protection

 

[graceiona95]

I would like to note that I don't give a tit about anyone's opinion of the royals/harry/megan/Spare - it's a controversial subject and I feel like it's going to completely derail the conversation, when we really should be focusing on why the duck ruby still hasn't learn to brush her hair without ripping it all out.

Also on the list of things she never learnt: how to light a candle without tunneling it, how to pour liquids without spilling them, and how to be a functioning adult without relying on mummy, daddy, and stolen charity money to get by

 

[vwxyz]

The video is so similar to the stuff she made while still being a high school student. Like, the bed making. She emphasizes that she does that every day as if it was something that shows her extraordinary tidiness and discipline. Don't most adults do their beds every day? (No shame if you don't, I think it doesn't matter, but I think she only says it because she has read so many books about nasty kids who are constantly told by their parents that they need to make their bed themselves. While Ruby has always been so perfect that she has always done it herself.)

Yeah keep it to the harry and meghan threads please lads

Someone has just commented on Ruby's video by saying about Tattle and Ruby has said she would value constructive criticism if people said it to her directly.

Well I hope it’s not someone from here, coz that’s not on.

Yeah it is definitely not on it sounds like the person who told Ruby about Tattle knows about us as she mentioned about how the videos get critically discussed.

 

[fromthemachines]

Lmao conveniently ignoring the commuting question

 

[lalala2233]

Why does she keep posting morning routines? She has done the same thing for years which is fine but not worth sharing with the world more than once. She wakes up, reads, brushed her teeth WHILE READING (very important), washes her face, makes her bed, gets dressed, eats her depressing breakfast, and then does some form of study/research. It has been the same routine since she started making videos and yet we keep getting them. Her absolute lack of creativity is outstanding.

Also, regardless of your opinion on the monarchy, how is Prince Harry's book so "culturally important" that she just had to read it? It is not, it is celebrity gossip. You can love him, admire him and feel for him if you want but his memoirs aren't doing anything interesting.

 

[Redrose97]

I'm wondering if she's justifying her reading of children's books as ' recommendations for students.' I was also wondering who she's teaching as Pipers Corner is 4-18 year olds from I understand, so I'm wondering if she's with the really young children instead of the teenagers as we've been thinking. Though the young ones might only have one teacher who does everything like UK primary schools and Ruby is with the older students. Just had that thought.

people have and do say it to her directly - she can’t take it.

 

[lalala2233]

Also, has anyone noticed that Ruby, despite being a literature student, a self-proclaimed voracious reader and an endlessly curious person, almost never reads authors who aren't British or American? I cannot recall her reading translated works.

She claims to know Spanish. Latin America and Spain have incredibly rich literary traditions and they are contemporary authors doing amazing work. She seems to like fantastical stories, Latin America is the home of magical realism and yet she is never able to reach beyond her British classics and expose her supposed curious mind to something new.

Don't get me wrong. I love British classics. I particularly love American literature. But I also try to read Japanese, Nigerian, Colombian, Argentine authors; I make an effort to get to know the world through narratives. Ruby would benefit tremendously from reading about places and lives that are different from her very cloistered existence.

The weirdest part is that her audience seems completely unbothered by all this.

1) she wouldn’t lol, constructive criticism = bullying
2) please for the love of god people DO NOT MENTION TATTLE to creators, that’s precisely how they then get to claim we’re bullying them - let’s just PLEASE keep the conversation among ourselves
