Ruby Granger #36 Pumpkin Bread Activity

[gossip_guy]

gossip guy pointed out that Ruby couldn't possibly have got changed and done all that running before hand unless she either cut class or was wearing her PE kit under her clothes "like some kind of spoilt, narcissistic Clark Kent". My vote is for the second. Or else she's overstating her running accomplishments...

There was yet another dig in this chapter at "her peers" when Ruby sneeringly described hearing their "meaningless talk of weekend plans and television shows." The same Ruby who said it was bullying to make fun of someone's love of books.

I also need to know just how big Erimentha's bag is if Ruby expected readers to believe she can somehow cart around an entire spare uniform, a full PE kit, all her planners, books, stationary supplies, etc. in a regular school bag.

And the funniest thing is that Ruby lies about doing this herself; there's been many videos where she claims to AWHLWHEYS take stacks of books, attack alarms, water bottles, giant stationery kits, gifted snack bars, the entire range of PUNKY PLODDINGTREE products, post-it notes, backup planners, spare jumpers, etc., then claims she also puts huge binders of old schoolwork in there, all in one standard-sized Kånken.

Whoever hit the ball at Ruby's head must've had a stronger forehand than Nadal. I've seen him accidentally hit a ball kid a couple of times and the ball kid just got back on with the job.

Footage of Erimentha getting "knocked unconscious" in PE.

Erimentha totally took a dive to play the victim.

Idk why so many people seem to think everyone who goes to Oxford is super intelligent and deserving of a place there. Of course there are many students with brilliant academics there who get there through hard work and merit. But for every one of those people there’s a Ruby (and tbh, a lot of them are even posher, more privileged, and less academic than Ruby) I’ve encountered enough unintelligent uninspiring oxbridge students to realise that.
I thought it was common knowledge that oxbridge is full of posh gits of slightly above average intellect.

As an Oxbridge graduate I completely agree with this. I wish there wasn’t this mystique around Oxbridge. Yes it’s prestigious but securing a place there doesn’t make you a super genius, it only means that there is potential for you to do well. Admissions is the easiest part. It’s the actual work that’s difficult and only time will tell if Ruby will sink or swim

Wondering if she's going to be going to be putting out more cooking videos online again, she's been showing off the baking again and she's just uploaded an apple cake cooking on tiktok. Interestingly she goes on a run while waiting for the cake, would anyone else do this? I'd be worrying about something happening when I was gone, but that's just me maybe, I have a temperamental oven and I'm a floor sitter while baking

“I’m not a psychopath” I say nearly in tears, “Even if I had deliberately spilt the water, which I didn’t, I don’t have the other symptoms that the DSM say are essential for a diagnosis"

No fucking way is this book real, actually convinced she’s trolling even writing that thinking that’s acceptable

Her even attempting to write children’s book is so weird to me her only frame of reference is her weird fantasy about her own childhood which as a pretentious little middle class child was far from the average childhood… if she wants to actually write a successful children’s book she’s going to need to actually interact with kids.

I just wonder why Jack Edwards has almost double the subscribers, much higher views, better Like/Dislike ratio than Ruby. Do viewers find his persona more appealing? Is it the content? (Im aware of his latest 'scandal')

Jack changed his content to keep up with his audience as they grew up. He dropped Studytube the second he graduated and pivotted to making Booktube content, shamelessly stealing content ideas and hopping on trend bandwagons to try to stay relevant. He managed to retain much of his core audience who grew up with him and attract a wider audience through the switch to Booktube. A significant portion of his audience also seem to be young women who just thirst-watch his content and don't care how creatively bankrupt, completely dishonest and devoid of charisma he is.

Meanwhile, Ruby's fans grew up and she never did. After they all graduated high school, they wanted content that reflected their new place in life. Ruby has been making the same shit for 7 years with no real change in content or quality. There's not much of an audience for privileged 22 year olds decomposing in their room pretending to be 12 and telling the exact same lies every week in the same video they made 200 times before.

They're both terrible in most of the same ways. They're both perpetually dishonest grifters, they both lie about what they read and embellish all their accomplishments, they both have huge egos and are allergic to criticism, they both churn out nothing but recycled shit devoid of intelligence or talent and crammed full of ads that skirt ASA rules or dodge them entirely. Jack's just slightly better at staying relevent with his copycat content, but even then, his actual engagement is terrible for the amount of subscribers he has.

I like that after like 4 pages of nothing but Wattpad-level smut, there's just Polar: The Titanic Bear and The Famous Five: Five on a Treasure Island in there randomly.

And even more hilariously, the covers all line up. The Famous Five kids apparently just discovered something about themselves gazing upon these majestic buff men, while The Titanic Bear's eyeing up shirtless dude with a "Well, hello there..." look of curious interest.

This basically shows that Roobee's fan base has moved on (to smut) while she has not.

Do viewers find his persona more appealing? Is it the content?

I dont think its about appeal so much but I would like to add 2 more points to gossip_guy's

1. Ruby is much less relatable than Jack. Jack is dumb and annoying but at least he acts like a 20 something unlike Ruby acts like the quirky obsessed nerd middle school child.

2. Jack actually has more interesting content. He has different scenery like paris, ny, dublin. He buys a lot of new books and waves them to camera. Compared to Ruby, who rarely leaves her room. Repeats her days through morning and evening routines.

I dont think any of them are likeable but Jacks content sometimes provide new things to me where as I watch Ruby bcz she is so weird I cant take my eyes of

The head bobbing, the gurning facial expressions and waggling her eyebrows during her 'speech'
Room looked pretty empty. She was getting herself more and more excited as she spoke.. Her dramatic readings are the worst. I was worried we were going to have a Night Before Christmas moment all over again. 'Snyow Blyow'. If you know, you know.

I know we say this several times a day, but her hair is just tragic. It’s way too long, starts way too high on her head, and it’s just so dull and frayed and like a louse would think it prime real estate. Shouldn’t pick on someone’s appearance, I know, but when social media is how you make your money and appearance-related posts are a regular part of your content, it would be well worth the investment to have it cut and styled. Even 12-year-olds are getting haircuts these days, Roobs. I promise you it won’t ruin your carefully crafted image

Her hair is something that she seems very cautious about changing. Its like she is using it to hold on to childhood. She's probably had some of that hair since she was twalve

imone doesn't look convinced and I see cogs turn underneath the marrow of her skull, beating against the blood flow and electrical impulses of the cerebrum"

Did Patrick Bateman write this? Good god

 

[Whisper2Me]

Her IG story. omg You haven't got Wes Anderson down, woman. You are just perpetually freaky and seeing someone approaching their mid 20's and still play-acting while wanting to go for their Masters at Oxford is just cringe. Did she just discover Moonrise Kingdom or something? Because I am not picking up those vibes. She is so stiff and lacks talent in everything. It is hilarious the way she tries to put her foot in every category (study, books, fashion, education, acting, ballet, gymnastics, etc.) and comes up empty. Everything about her is so tragic.

 

[gossip_guy]

The honour needs to go to @gossip_guy for sharing that gem with us

Tattle Rule #407: Whoever nominates it, celebrates it!

I'm just grateful that there's a never-ending flow of stupidity from Ruby so we'll never be short of options for thread titles.

 

[gossip_guy]

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

 

[StatusWoe]

Ruby likes the boarding school setting. Why am I not surprised?

A B12 deficiency can also cause fatigue. Every vegan needs to supplement for B12, also the symptoms of B12 deficiency can take years to appear which may be why it’s suddenly hit her now.

Also basically everyone in the UK is on some level vitamin D deficient especially at this time of year so she should look into supplementing that also. Vitamin D deficiency can cause fatigue and hair loss like we see with her.

Wouldn’t be surprised if she’s iron deficient as others have mentioned which can cause similar symptoms.

Obviously all this can be remedied by a proper diet and a multi but that’s too obvious for Ruby. She’ll double down and live in denial thinking she just has a ‘bad night routine’ instead of taking proactive steps to make herself healthier.

Sometimes, life is magical, and the title of your video states exactly how you feel about the ad that comes before it...View attachment 1954616

oml please tell me there’s a link to go tell the BBC exactly what I think

PLEASE

Kimberley leans over and taps me on the forearm. Her fingers are cold and so her circulation is probably not very good. Maybe she doesn't get enough exercise

Is this how Ruby's thought process works? Is she just walking around constantly judging everyone she meets and jumping to conclusions about them based on the tiniest interaction?

True to my word, I take a long drink from the water fountain, feeling the cold water against and down the back of my throat. My stomach feels full after a few seconds and I wonder just how much water it takes to kill a person.

The detailed descriptions of everything (the water, the saliva, etc) are making my skin crawl. Also this feels like an ED thing.

 

[JustVibing]

I love how she made sure to include a lot of content with Lola in her new video (the dog actually running towards her instead away from her!). Also how much she does for her family, like making them hot drinks and baking cookies for Marfa.
It just seems like she desperatly wants to show what a good daughter she is and how is really is doing ackshully jenuinleeeey a lot at waaahrk around the house and for her parents, totally justifying just hanging around there for a year without getting a job or doing anything remotely useful.

Also ffs, if your chair looks broken and disgusting just DONT SHOW IT instead of covering it with your hand and commenting weirdly on it. This is your own YT-vid, you can choose what you wanna show.

She's claw-handing her way through another VARRY ADDJOOKAYSHONAL history lesson on TikTok and it's wall-to-wall stupidity.

"I didn't realise why history was significant." - Ruby Bones, 2022.

Ruby: "Since pink is syo havvillee assyociated with Fowntine's Day, oiy thought oiy would waahr a pink cardigan tyoday."
Also Ruby: (Wears a beige cardigan.)

Flashback to the time Ruby kept insisting that this very dark red pot was pink, even as Blakeney told her it was red:

And because she'd rather just look incredibly lazy and incompetent than take a few minutes to film a second take and reupload...

 

[Auga]

I'll believe her acceptance when it happens, until then I'm extremely doubtful.

Since bizarrely her Oxford course does not require an interview or a written test for admission, I really do think her chances are decent, especially since I'm sure it's not her first attempt. Fancy a bet? Loser has to write "Erimentha In Oxford".

Erientha Parker Chapters 22 and 23:

Plot -
- Once back home Ruby finds she has received a letter from grandmama. She tells Ruby about her time at school and how she found a friend so Ruby can find one two if she takes the time to look.
- Ruby writes a list of people at school who are similar to her. It contains Ella (the girl two years younger than her with the mouse face), Simone (who likes geography) and her teacher Miss Solomon. After thinking harder she can think of more things such as she is similar to Ally because they both have hand sanitiser, her and June both use Stabilo swing cool highlighters and both her and Izzy don't like ice cream. The only one she can't find similarities with is Kimberly
- After lunch mum drives Ruby to the beach and she takes some photos. Then they go to get scones and tea from the cafe. Ruby buys a badger shaped tea light holder
- Turns out Ruby's father does exist as he is mentioned in this chapter! Only because Ruby reminds him he needs to put up a wind turbine in the garden.
- In the evening Ruby wants to watch a documentary on Calvinism and forces her parents to watch it with her. To be ultra productive Ruby knits at the same time. Ruby's dad comments on how lucky they are to have Ruby because she wanted to watch a documentary. Nathan is not mentioned so either they forgot to pick him up from school or just decided to leave him in the shed as he didn't fit into their family aesthetic.
- When Ruby wakes up she makes some notes from a weather book and spends some time wishing Kimberly won't do anything nasty today.
- On the bus to school Ruby listens to a podcast on farming in the seventeenth century. Ally is sat behind her and asks Ruby if she is feeling better and says Kimberly shouldn't have hit the ball at her

Quotes -
- "The corners of the paper protrude slightly, like bubblegum, so I use my forefingers to smooth down the imperfections".
- "I sit down at my desk and take out a piece of faux-parchment paper to compose a list. In John Agard's 'Book', I read that real parament was actually the product of dried animal skin and since then I have always made sure to specify that my parchment is fake!"
- "I gaze out of the window at the thinning hedgerows, so barren of leaves now that there are large holes poking through the thicket. it is like a collection of sticks gathered for a campfire, arranged carefully into extensive, climbing rows".
- [The leaves] "have formed the most magnificent array of colour - crimson, canary and dijon holding each other tightly in an effort to keep warm."
- "I spot a particulalry charming alder tree, its translucent canary foliage almost completely intact"
- "They intertwine as tough fingertips, the spindly twigs crossing over each other in what appears to be a child's pinky promise"
