Ruby Granger #36 Pumpkin Bread Activity

[Griftwood]

That was her excuse for it, but she lies about everything and that especially never rang true. If she needed more room, there's a shitload of unused rooms in that house that would provide more space (or better yet, she could move out into the house she owns).

Combined with everything else - her starving herself to look younger, the non-stop school uniform cosplays, her regularly trotting out childhood clothes to mention that they still fit her, children's books being the only thing she actually reads, along with her decorating her room with a child's school desk, boarding school trunk and pictures of children - and it seems clear that her switching to a child's bed is just part of her fixation on childhood and her crusade to become TWALVE again.

There was a news story in Finland last week about a 40-year-old woman who had been posing as a 13-year-old at a parish afternoon club. She wasn't prosecuted as apparently it was determined she had no sinister intentions, but Roobee definitely sprang to mind.

in regards to @LostGhosts recaps ,


- The girls are in science class learning about refraction and got put into pairs. Ruby gets paired with Beth, one of the bullies
- Beth doesn't help Ruby get the equipment which makes Ruby furious, and then Beth says she doesn't want to work with Ruby
- A girl called Ally says that Ruby thinks she is better than everyone and that is why another girl called June doesn't hang around with her anymore Ruby neither confirms or denies this
- Ruby witters on a bit about the experiment and clearly bores Beth who then walks off
- Beth comes back and politely asks to copy Ruby's nots. Ruby says no. Beth then puts Ruby's "three page, handwritten extension essay on the exisistance of photons" (forgive me if I am just an idiot but I am 24 and I don't know what photons are, how is a 11 year old writing a 3 page essay on them) in the water
- Ruby goes to the library to read her one of her favourite books, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
- She meets Ella there who read Malory towers like Ruby instructed her to do. Ruby asks how things are with Ella and finds out Ella's bully snapped her ruler and told her she is as quiet as a small dead mouse.
- Ruby tells Ella about her bullies and Ella begs Ruby to tell a teacher. Ruby says she wont, so Ella replies saying she won't report her own bullying unless Ruby does as well and Ruby just accepts this. This makes Ella cry
- Ruby does the first responsible thing of the book and takes Ella to the staff room to tell Ella's teacher about her bullies


I love how everyone on this thread has collectively ditched “ Erimentha” and have just straight up accepted its just Ruby in her purest form making self fanfics

it was so she had more floor space for side tables, desk set up and yoga on a grotty blanket

That was her excuse for it, but she lies about everything and that especially never rang true. If she needed more room, there's a shitload of unused rooms in that house that would provide more space (or better yet, she could move out into the house she owns).

I honestly hope I'm not sounding rude or anything lmao, but why did she stop midway through the video to tell us she had a meeting to go to and that she'd be back later, only to like... transition immediately to her continuing with the next book? I'd assume a video like this would have cuts and stuff in it, why not just cut from one book to another? Idk it just struck me as an odd addition to the video lol

It's one of her half-assed tricks to appears busier than she actually is.

In reality she didn't read most of these books and her most demanding meetings are the uneventful 15 minute Zoom calls she has with her management that aren't worth mentioning.

But her saying "Oiy radd SAVANTEEN bohks while WAHRRKING AT MOIY JOB and awlsyo ACKSCYOOSE ME whoile oiyy ATTAND A VARRY IMPWORETANT MEETING" fools her fans into thinking that she's always juggling more than everyone else when really she's just festering in her bedroom doing fuck all.

Ruby: "I'm syo, syo poor. Januinely nyot sure how oiy'll survoive the winter."
Also Ruby: (Goes on 6 luxury holidays in a year.)

She mentioned in her tiktok she liked the CHEAPER pair of ski goggles compared to the luxury and more expensive ones...I can't stand her

 

[gossip_guy]

Thanks for the Jack recap @gossip_guy!

Also Ruby has been posting so much on Instagram and tiktok in the last few days – it’s making me think some recent news has put her in a particularly good mood….

I’m really really holding out hope that she hasn’t got an offer but signs are pointing to her having got it

I mean, she's done this song and dance before. Last year, she visited Oxford, was posting cryptic photos and showing Oxford Uni merch, but it all amounted to nothing (that or she applied, got prematurely excited and then got rejected). I'll believe her acceptance when it happens, until then I'm extremely doubtful.

I guess it depends on how much she wants to fulfil her dream of studying at Oxford. If she wants it that badly that she has reapplied, then maybe she should get over herself and live on campus. Surely living in the college itself might be an option?

I think it's purely for the vindication of finally getting in, like it'll prove her right and prove that the previous rejections were all cruel mistakes. But I don't think she has any interest in actually studying, so I'm not sure how long the superficial thrill of actually going to Oxford will last, especially once she realises that she won't get an easy ride.

It'd probably do her a lot of good to actually stay on campus, meet new people and actually make the most of the experience. But this is the Ruby who spent her entire time at Exeter avoiding the library and running away from campus even though it would've been closer to her dark macademia daydreams than rotting in her bedroom. I think she's far too entrenched in her second childhood and far too used to having mummy in arm's reach to cope with being away from home the way she was in first year.

Plus she actively avoided studying on campus at Exeter, likely because it was an instant reminder of how ordinary she is to look in all directions and see nothing but people smarter than her studying more intently and efficiently. If she couldn't handle that there, Oxford will destroy her.

I guess we'll see if she gets in and what happens, but I can't see her sticking it out and passing if she does.

Also, don't you have to put a coat of varnish in top of the paint? If she only used paint the cleaning supplies would end ruining the paint, isn't? Not like Ruby will clean it within the next decade, anyway .

I think she conveniently left out a bunch of footage (because her dad likely did 98% of the work off-screen and Ruby just put a bit of paint on for the camera while being coached by Daddy Bones). She's putting on basic primer in the garage, then the desk worktop is magically painted with a coat or two of gloss paint when it's in her room.

I think gloss paint should hold up fine without varnish/sealer unless she's going at it with industrial cleaner and a scourer. Considering she never cleans her desk anyway, it should be okay with her usual 'lazily dab at a small section with a damp cloth every six months for a video' cleaning technique.

She'll 100% have that white desk covered in wax, ink and dead flies within a month or two though.

I'm more confused why she's rushed to shove her desk in while leaving holes in the wall everywhere where the old desk came out.

And she says she (or daddy) won't be painting the inside of the drawers because you won't see them, which is fine, but then the rest of the main body of the desk has been given just the most patchy, half-assed layer of primer and that's it. It looks like crap.

It isn't really much bigger than her old desktop either, and she has so much less leg room now that even her baby-sized school chair only just fits. The whole setup looks so uncomfortable.

Given how she’s claimed every part of that house as her own, I don't know why she didn't just tidy up their landfill of a library and put an adult-sized desk and comfortable grownup office chair in there so she's not 3 inches away from her screen and wrecking her spine. She could use the library as a filming space and office. She's often rambling about little space she has in her room and her fake need to separate her WAAAHRK space to help with SLYEEP HOYGENE, so why not just put an office in there?

I'm glad this video wasn't yet another routine or staged reading vlog, but it still seems incredibly fake in so many ways.

The way she keeps dropping the mask and losing her fake accent when talking directly to her mum just shines a light on how performative everything she does is.

And she can't help but cram in another forced, undeclared ad for Punky Fraternity products which she never uses and an endless ramble to mummy about how she NAVVER wants to encourage HOSSTLE COLCHA even though that's all she does.

 

[Satisfying Click]

I'm not sure if this was a recent follow, but she's certainly dropping those hints

 

[rubysdeadfly]

Oh god, the House of Pankhurst speech she has shared on her story. How has she been invited to speak at this? SHE SAYS NOTHING.

It's all buzzwords and the most shallow, basic observations - Emily Pankhurst's words are "still relevant today", there are people whose voices are kept quiet today TOO but she doesn't elaborate or give any specific examples, because she doesn't know any because she lives in a privileged bubble. The campaign is "so important", a phrase so overused by Ruby that it means nothing and signals her having nothing specific to say.

I absolutely loathe seeing her get opportunities like this. How do people not see through her?

the irony of her saying "its all about giving voices to voices that had been quietened" lmao when has rubys voice ever not been heard (in recent history I mean) idk who was at the event but come on girly have some self awareness. Many women's voices are still not being heard, but not a rich white land lord from the south

Mansfield tops survey of colleges' vegetarian food provision – The Oxford Student

Mansfield College, Oxford, has come top of a poll rating vegetarian and vegan food provision across the University. Over 200 students voted in the poll, launched at the beginning of Michaelmas term by the Oxford University Animal Ethics Society. Allan Dodd, Bursar at Mansfield College, said...

www.oxfordstudent.com

The plot thickens... Mansfield College scored highest out of the Oxford colleges for vegetarian and vegan food provision.
I don't know whether she took that into consideration when choosing a college (although she may have been allocated Mansfield), but it's not unlikely.

What if she does get accepted... the snootiness over Jade and Jack is going to be unbearable.

Now I want her to get accepted just to see a glimpse of Jade's manic reels of self affirmation

 

[gossip_guy]

She's shown that she'll happily drop veganism like a flaming bag of shit when she wants a Five Guys burger or honey or a leather bag or wool socks and god knows what else. She likely rarely stays vegan off-camera, so I doubt having it cheese free with nothing on it was a veganism thing for her.

The cynic in me says it's probably an ED thing for her, like "If I have to get pizza with family, I'll get the pizza with the absolute least amount of food possible on it."

Let’s boost engagement! What’s something everyone has an opinion about? Her content is as unspeakably lazy and insipid as her personality.

View attachment 1981290

I hate questions like this because it’s so context specific and just shows how immature and isolate Ruby is. I like snow, but only because I can work from home, I can heat my house (for now …) and I’m not relying on a bus, a carer or a medication delivery. I like rain but less so when I’m waiting for a bus in it, or when I need to dry laundry or deal with a leaky roof. I like sun but I can afford a fan, I’m not walking to work in it or working in a kitchen or cafe, and so on and so on. Any weather is lovely when you can just sit in a bedroom and look out of a window at it, but living and working in different types of weather makes it hard to talk about ‘favourites’.

 

[Deeznutslol]

That's so weird, people pay to send their children to schools where the staff can be unqualified??

It’s amazing what people will do just to keep their little darlings away from the riff raff

 

[donny345]

Ruby's "routines" are always so painful because NOT EVERYTHING HAS TO BE A ROUTINE.

the fact that she markets these as night routines which implies they are done…routinely… except every week she apparently does different things why doesn’t she just call them nighttime vlogs or something idek, she’s just so obsessed with “routine” videos despite evidently not knowing what that word means

 

[anakinskywalkers]

I've got to admit, Ella does look a bit like a mouse. She has the same long front teeth and pointed nose. Her eyes, however, make all o the difference for they are so large that they could never be compared to the small, beady optics of a rodent"

Erimentha: why does no one like me?
Also Erimentha:

 

[Sad Suitcase]

She doesn’t like Cathy from Wuthering Heights because she’s overly defensive and doesn’t admit her faults… the lack of self awareness is honestly kind of hilarious

She also doesn't like Oliver from Five Survive because he thinks he's better than everyone and his opinion is important... I'm noticing a pattern here

 

[gossip_guy]

"Win taggatts uhbad rep. Aspashially awftah Christmas. That's the hyole jyoke from the Narnia book--[awkward cut]"

"Oiy...yeeest to wake op in the mwoarning, seether collarsuth sonroyse watchthum paint the treetops pawhssthryoothom hwauntthumbriefly, watch the collars spill and spoyrul -- RAD AWHRINGE PINK. BOHT THAN OIY WUD STOHP. Retahrn to waahrk. FORGATT. Oiy wahrked and stoddied moiy way thryoo wintah without lyocking opp."

Yeah, I can't sit through this shit.

Ruby, you have to have worked a day in your life to be able to "retahrn" to it.

And you really need to drop the fake accent, it gets worse by the day - you sound like you're reading bad stories written by children while you're having several strokes at once. Underwater. Just utter gibberish.

Three minutes in and this is yet another of her nonsensical fake whimsy and wonder videos in which she prattles about nature with her simplistic, predictable 'list three things and add purple prose' descriptors while saying nothing at all. "On moiy dailee whalks oiy swaw catkins bodding, frwosted leeaves, snyowflakes with individual spoyres." And of course, she has to shoehorn mentions of all the fictional "warrhk" she's been pretending to do since birth, because she's SYO BUSY AND SYO PRODOCKTIVE. And it's still full of shoddy editing, overlapping audio and all manner of incompetence.

If you're going to make a video that has nothing to offer but "casual magic" nature-loving whimsy in which you pretend to be the first person to have discovered a sunrise, then it should at least look and sound good. It shouldn't be full of garbled, indecipherable language that makes you feel like you've wandered into some alien world in a fever dream. It shouldn't offer a hellish soundscape of abrupt and abrasive audio to assault the ears. It shouldn't immediately follow up someone talking about how beautiful the world is by showing someone rubbing their fingers on their eyeballs to get their contact lenses out.

It shouldn't be surprising how bad her content is, but it's still amazing that literally her only talent is getting progressively worst at absolutely everything she does.
---
And speaking of getting worse at everything...

Ruby sends birthday "latters" to people, adorned with trash she found in her yard and written in what appears to be smeared fecal matter, then wonders why she has no friends.

She also claims that the armchair that she uses as a desk chair has worn away and the upholstery ripped because she's always sitting in it (syo hard at "wahhrk"!).

Last year, when people were asking how she'd managed to destroy the chair in only a few months when she claimed most of her time was spent at uni and not running home every week, she made some shit up about Lola attacking it, despite Lola never setting foot in Ruby's room. Lying is not something she's improving at, either.

"Grandmama bundles herself up in a warm ski coat, the same one she wears on our annual trip to the alps"

Wow, what a relatable protagonist

 

[missmina]

I’m hoping the staff at oxford will be at least a little bit more critical and demanding of her

 

[Unknownspecies]

- "She looks at me intently for a few seconds and then draws a thick, bulbous line of magenta wax across my cheek, pressing so hard that the skin distorts upwards and stings" (Ruby's skin must be made of tissue paper because I don't think anyone's skin has ever been distorted by a fucking lipstick)

Are we sure it is magenta and not green?
