Ruby Granger #36 Pumpkin Bread Activity

[pinkmug]

Judging by her latest Instagram story, she's learning Latin prepositions and verbs. I'm guessing this is another ephemeral dark macademia interest. She only cares about shoehorning random Latin phrases in casual conversations to show how smart she is.

"learning Latin prepositions and verbs" i.e. she's googling a bunch of Latin phrases to use them out of context in every other meaningless sentence lmao.

I long for the day she'll pull these cheap teacher's pet tricks to actually well educated, well read and smart people in person and be read to filth in return. Life is less forgiving when you can't delete a comment that's said to your face Roobers.

"I AWHLWHEYS keep something I can turn into an undeclared ad on me, even on holiday! "

 

[gossip_guy]

"Step One on Finding Happiness" makes no sense either. This is someone who feels she's qualified to teach English.

 

[gossip_guy]

Still can’t believe she was 17 whilst writing this and thought to herself ‘Yep, this so great the public needs to be able to read this’. This reads like a villain origin story, purely psychotic

And according to Ruby, Erimentha's only fault was her "incessant optimism"...

What an appropriate choice of music lol

Wtf is her new reel? I mean she at least managed to copy 1(one) element off Wes Anderson compared the her first "Wes Anderson Inspired" video but wtf. She really thinks she's onto something.. Girl its not artistic its just weird, especially the "plan anaesthetic" part.

It's a microcosm of almost everything wrong with Ruby.

Fragile grasp of English ("Staps on how tyo raspond tyo wilting flowwahs.").

Mangled, fake AMMA WHATSYUN accent. ("STAP WAN: CHACK thaar GATTING enoff sonloyt.")

Desperately trying to imitate things she's seen online but doesn't understand and has no knowledge of. She's never seen a Wes Anderson film in her life and never will.

Latching onto comments about something random (someone mentioned that one of her outfits had Wes Anderson vibes, which Ruby hadn't intended in any way) and then going wildly overboard trying to make them part of her fake identity.

Shoddy, half-assed videos that are indescribably cringeworthy.

I hate everything about it. I think I finally appreciate the anguish that Emily Dickinson aficionados felt when she appropriated Emily as part of her OIDANTITEE.

And now she's deleted the TikTok video where she revealed her 3 hour WAHRRK day.

It had upwards of 300 comments, too many to effectively censor

I really wish her old classmates came here and shared if she actually behaved like that At the same time she did write and publish that book so it is very likely given her lack of self awareness.

 

[StatusWoe]

its no surprise that her latest video is about 'embracing boredom'.

Not only embracing boredom, but 'prioritising' boredom! This makes it sound as though boredom is a scheduled activity that she ticks off in her planner. Next thing we know it'll be part of her morning routine.

P.s. Oops sorry I got the wrong title in the last thread. I love 'Pumpkin Bread Activity'.

Where is this?

Also whilst fetching this screenshot, I noticed this in her bio for the first time . Thought that said something else for a minute!

The pretentious little "Flowers, according to my secondary school biology lessons..." part reminded me so much of her Hermione cosplay

Of course Ruby can't relate to people not liking Sundays the doofus doesn't understand the dread upon hearing the Antique's Roadshow opening when you are stuck in a job you loathe.

"I don't know whether to tuck it in or keep it out?" How about running a goddamn iron over it first?

She looks like a nun on her day off

Thing is too her peers probably had much more insightful things to say about their favourite tv shows or weekend plans than the way she waffles emptily about books she’s pretended to read. That attitude would still be insufferable if she actually had read those books and had something worthwhile to say about them, but the fact that her reviews amount to a paragraph of words she doesn’t know the meaning of awkwardly cobbled together while still thinking herself superior is, uh, a lot.

 

[VallegGirl]

gossip_guy you have an unerring way of totally expressing what I feel most eloquently. Love your no nonsense insightful posts

 

[gossip_guy]

If I had to read this thesis worthy review on Erimentha then you lot do too!
I’ve numbered the THIRTEEN screenshots in case they upload out of offer… may the odds be ever in your favour.

At first, I totally believing that Ruby wrote that, but then it became clear that this person had actually read at least two books, so there's no way it could be Ruby.

Yeah, the same exact thing has been happening every year - planners never show up or planners fall apart, then customer service ignore all emails and Ruby will comment that it's "VARRY unusual" even though it happens every time.

Her management company use the cheapest suppliers possible and cut as many corners as they can to keep more profits, so the planners are complete trash. Even one of the young kid fans that Ruby befriended did a video saying she had to tape her planners back together after they fell apart.

Nothing new, but it's hilarious that it's being commented on a post where Ruby's acting like these planners will enrich the lives of students.

I find it really strange that the planners do fall apart though. I've had loads of wee cheapy planners over the years from Tesco and TK Maxx, ring binder and non ring binder, and none of them have fallen apart on me. Why are Ruby's planners so faulty?

 

[gossip_guy]

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?

Factor in the garbled fake posh AMMA WOTTSYUN accent and yet another head-wagging dramatic reading and I don't know how she and/or the audience aren't dying of cringe.

Wow, what a relatable protagonist

A true working class scholarship queen.

Ruby, tell us a month you DON'T like.

"It's abovv freezing...bot that dozzn't mean that it's warm" - well done, Einstein. That's why you're wearing shorts and thin tights as you go outside then???

The primary school crafts are killlllling me and the cafe menu is absolutely too much. And her family have to humour her by letting her take their orders??? Sorry but indulging her is why she's so regressed and odd in the first place. As a former barista, her cappuccino is not "okay" and it's actually very insulting of her to play-pretend she's a cafe owner or something because catering is actually an incredibly stressful and honestly unglamorous job. I don't think I could hack it now being a few years out of that industry. She also has way too much time on her hands, I'm not saying people don't deserve joy and fun and whimsy but Ruby gets more ridiculous with it every time and it's always some poorly disguised exercise in disordered or ritualised eating.

And finally, yet another planner offer!

And according to Ruby, Erimentha's only fault was her "incessant optimism"...

Of course because none of these are faults:

1) Being judgemental of others academic ability
2) Being judgemental of others appearance and if they exercise
3) Disliking someone who is NINE because they like lego and not studying
4) Telling off other students in class
5) Ghosting a friend because they suggested she report bullying

The list could go on ...
