Ruby Granger #36 Pumpkin Bread Activity

[anastasia1989]

Chapter 3 of Erimentha Parkers to do list:

Plot -
- The girls go to Geography and Ruby sits at the same table and Kimberleigh and then they all get told off because Kimberleigh was talking. Ruby nearly dies from shame
- They had to say words to do with geography to go on a mind map. Ruby basically thinks everyone else is an idiot for saying simple things like mountain and river. Ruby originally was going to comment on “the sustainable city of Curitiba” but instead decided to say Globalisation, and spends a full page of the book spouting facts no one cares about
- After class she holds her teacher hostage to give her a 16 page booklet on hurricanes she made over the summer for shits and giggles. Teacher then suggests (while probably fearing for her life) that Ruby does a presentation on this to the class
- At lunch Ruby invites an American girl round her house at the weekend so they can build a science experiment volcano together
- Ruby goes to fill up a water jug and Izzy spills water on her, causing Ruby to have to change into the spare set of clothes she brought to school
- Back in class Izzy and Kimberleigh are saying that Ruby pushed her and that's why she got water spilt on her

Quotes:

• “I haven’t got told of since I was about five and am distraught that I have made a bad first impression”
• “But instead of saying cheese as I had been asked to, I had been thinking very hard about how such a tremendous depression ever came to be”
• “She takes a fountain pen from her shirt’s pocket protector which is just like the ones businessmen wear in the movies!
• “The only one which is unsalvageable is ‘Erimentha Parker’s list of the best pencil brands”
• “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"

I greatly appreciate your service but can you please clarify for me if those quotes are genuine direct quotes or your own on-brand inventions… I don’t know what to believe anymore… she didn’t really write “Erimentha Parker’s List of the Best Pencil Brands”… did she?

Maybe Ruby feels there would be an advantage for her Masters if she has knowledge of one if the classics. I'm always a bit dubious when she says she just learns for learning's sake. She always gives me the vibe that for her learning is about secondary gain. Not going to lie I did my A levels so I could get into Uni. I went to Uni so I could go into the career of my choice. Did I like learning and do it for learning's sake? Well, no but then I'm not going to pretend otherwise. Did I find everything I learned dull and uninspiring? Well, no not that either but I have to he honest it was and continues to be for an end goal. I don't think there's anything very noble in my attitude to learning and I can take no high ground but at least I'm honest.

oh my god she’s been accepted hasn’t she

More content for us I guess, if true

she probably got them from her dad/parents

Notice how 'Taste' and 'Eating' come right after College as suggested categories based on what she watches. Out of the first 6, the first 4 are food related. With Reading being the last one. Not sure if she left this in on purpose for ED-baiting

 

[Griftwood]

Were there comments calling out the length of the workday? I missed it

The comments I saw were mostly from her adoring fans, I imagine she’s been on it nonstop to delete any and all even vaguely negative comments. It gained traction for some reason so there must have been all kinds of comments.

 

[theMoth]

context- I have physics, biology and maths as my A level subjects

wow you have my respect! My subjects for Abitur were English, German and maths for the written part (I took English and German advanced courses so the exams took 4 hours? 5? I can't remember). My fourth subject (oral) was history and it was so bad. But I passed all exams. lol

Everyone learns different. Not everyone has to study 7 or more hours a day. Studytuber are a bad example on how to study.

I don't usually write in here, I am more of the lurker type (also sorry for any mistakes, I am not an english native speaker). I was watching Ruby's latest video (the one with the new desk) and I actually enjoyed the very begginging.

Even though she is not passionate about "academia" per se, but more for the performative aspect of it, it was actually pretty nice seeing her happy about the desk and the organisation part of it. What got me to write here was the striking difference in her voice from 09:22, it suddenly goes high pitch. Is it just me or is it actually weird in that particular part?

 

[Larancia]

Sorry but that pizza looks so dead…

Omg came here to say this (with my own ss too!)
Anyways sorry @Ilaariaa And rest of Italians if this is offensive but it looks like you order pizza online and uncheck every ingridient so you end up with a blank base of a pizza.

 

[allthemyths]

Didn't Erimentha Parker have a single bed so she could sleep as straight as a pencil and told off her brother for sleeping in a starfish position... Ruby is larping as her own character

Please tell me she didn't actually write that in her "book". Please.

Honestly from productivity based videos to embracing boredom - well that's not a contradiction is it? I don't think of her as Ruby Bones but instead Ruby Lazy Bones since she appears to do nothing more exhausting than lighting (dusty) candles, reading (children's) books, making (lumpy) porridge and (endless) cups of tea; making sure, of course, to try and break the cup or glass by clonking in heavily on the counter top or attacking it with a spoon whilst she mashes the teabag to an inch of its life and leaving a trail of tea across the counter for someone else to wipe up (eventually). For someone who sold her whole existence on being productive she hasn't exactly been that in her gap year. She could have done any amount of things in her gap year which would have contributed to society but no, not her, she has wasted this opportunity. It is because she has wasted an opportunity that is a privilege I, for one, will be so peeved if she gets into Oxford. I don't see someone who wastes opportunities as being deserving of a place at Oxford (or indeed anywhere else). I had a gap year. I did three different things. I worked as a children's courier for a holiday company in France, I worked in a Dutch flower bulb factory and I worked as an au pair in Belgium. None of these jobs were high ranking but each gave me a new set of skills, enabled me to live and work in another country and supported me to improve by ability to speak French or Dutch. Ruby has done none of these things. Instead she thinks that she has achieved a great deal by spending three weeks in the USA and 'working' at her old school. I'd have thought more of her had she worked in a fast food restaurant or even had a paper round. I, btw, have done both of the aforementioned and again they gave me a skill set I wouldn't otherwise have had. I did not consider any of these jobs beneath me but I don't think she would work in a job she considers beneath her. Being an 'educator' in her old school seems anything but a challenge. The other thing is all this introvert nonense. Does anyone else feel she is gilding this particular lily to excuse her wasted gap year and offer an explanation as to why she has achieved so very little?,I have to say it and let it out. I can't bear her snug entitled and false persona.

We all know she won't be returning either pair

If she were doing this shit because she got enjoyment out of it, it'd still be embarrassing as hell, but I guess at least she'd be doing something she finds fun for a change in a life of miserable emptiness, fakery and forced grimaces for the camera.

Instead, she included this cringeworthy clip of her playing childish games of make-believe for no other reason than to include undeclared ads for her gifted Grind coffee machine, her gifted Grind coffee and her gifted food substitute powder. She thought people were too stupid to see through this and she was stupid enough to think her baby barista nonsense would wow her fans.

And the funny thing is, she could've tweaked this slightly to fit her brand. She could've made an "ass-tattic" chalkboard shopping list for the kitchen or something - something that served a purpose for an adult and would be vaguely useful for staying organised. Instead it's some ad-filled childish bullshit that's a step away from her playing with one of these:

she could put that play kitchen in her room where her school desk was/is, depending on how much space the play kitchen needs. The IKEA play kitchen should fit.

- "My friendship problems with Kimberley shouldn't stop [mum] from having a jolly good time today"

If you're using phrases like 'a jolly good time' you really need to set your story in the 1940s.

She seems to have no clue how basic anatomy works and characters can apparently contort their limbs like pretzels, extend them at will or just detach them entirely. They can see in all directions at once like they've mastered astral projection. They all seem to be compulsively tapping their "finger pads" on everything in every scene. Their skin is usually a bubbling nightmare of ticks, twitches and wildly fluctuating temperature extremes. Whole book full of fucking aliens.

I forgot how much weird anatomical detail there was in the Lottie Parton book. Honestly it makes me wonder about Ruby's mental state. Why does she keep including these hyper-detailed physical descriptions? It gives me the creeps!

This made me laugh too much. Trying to hard not to offend her over the fact she’s extremely irritating

Laughing at ''it's quite loud and constant''.

 

[Deeznutslol]

Do we know when she’ll find out about the masters? I defo think she’s going to get into Oxford this time, I can’t see them rejecting her tbh.

 

[figgypud]

I absolutely hated Tuesdays with Morrie, the writer constantly makes everything about himself vs a dying man. But it definitely strikes me as the kind of thing Ruby would lap up.

 

[pinkmug]

I just can't imagine Roobs at the petrol station filling up a car

Me neither. She strikes me as the kind of person who throws a lit match to a puddle near a petrol station to see it's water or not. Perhaps it's best she doesn't drive.

she pitches/speeds up for voice for some reason. I guess to sound more childlike.

Spoiler: OT

I agree about influencers being privileged but I also wanna say, dont worry because where I live we are jealous of all US. Almost everyone is paid below hunger/poorment limit. Eggs are the least of our problem. And most of the people in the world has lower living standards than an average US citizen. (Yes US have some systematic issues about healthcare and food ingridients but where i live, everything including these are already being corrupted)

Spoiler: OT

I understand this, but I my parents and I arrived in this country undocumented so my parent's wages have always been lower, they don't receive health care and are going through health issues that makes working harder , and we've always lived below the poverty line. I haven't been able to find a job and because I will be my parents' retirement plan, I feel a lot of pressure. Although I can now work legally, I can't even leave the country because there is no path to citizenship yet and I am always at risk of being deported to a country I don't even know and losing everything I worked for. Your problems are valid, but mine are also.

I first thought she wanted to light it like a match to light a candle
