I see in the video comments somebody received the planner but it arrived in a damaged state and I have also noticed that when the planners have been shown on videos a number of them look damaged and don't look new at all. Here is the comment that was posted on Ruby's latest video.
Hi Ruby ! I have received the planner (i had to pay more money than i thought to get it to France but that is another story and obviously no fault of yours or the company you work with) and unfortunately it arrived really damaged because the last page was built in as the first but folded to sit as the end page anyway - so of course it is now in a really bad state. It also led to damage to the spine of the planner (which now looks very fragile to me, I do not think I will be able to carry it around). I went to all the shops that help with these kinds of things in my area and none of them have the equipment to fix it. I hope this review can be seen so that hopefully this does not happen to someone else ! I hope they can check for that sort of mistakes.

Her followers should really grow some balls. I cant believe that someone after paying so much money for a shitty damaged planner would waste their time to go around and try to “repair” it instead of demanding an immediate refund. How are people this lame nowadays.

Ruby's leapt onto another bandwagon and went to see Barbie, but it's JANUINELY not just because it's popular on the internet, it's because she loves "GRATTAG ARRWIG".

Spoilers: The only thing Ruby appears to have seen of Greta Gerwig's is YouTube clips of AMMA WATSYON'S scenes from Little Women.

It's been 2.5 months and counting since that striped bedsheet was put on her bed. It has literally never been washed, since she slapped it on her bed straight from the packaging.

So I most unwisely watched Rubert’s new video. Two things… Firstly, if she’s been practising academic writing for ten minutes daily since 2016, why on earth isn’t she a better writer? She just… isn’t very good. I’m genuinely surprised that she claims to have such a consistent writing practice; is this a Rubert porky-pie? Am baffled.

It's possible she's honest about doing "TAN MINATS" of academic writing a day, but she's never been interested in growing or improving at absolutely anything she does, so she'll never get better no matter how often she does it. Considering she's incapable of critical thought or ideas of her own, she's likely just copying an existing essay into Notion and considering it "academic writing waaahhrrrkkk" or she just puts random words on a page to fill time to try to impress other people with another VARRY PRODOCKTIVE TAAHHHHSK done.

She's said in the past that she hates editing/proofreading and considers it "mindless and "pointless". Proofreading, editing and rewriting are where people learn their mistakes and learn to improve, but Ruby just says, "Nah, I'll have none of that, I got it right first time." It's why her videos are all the same, with all the same glaring technical errors. It's why her poems and letters are all the same repetitive, garbled shit about the weather.

Her response to having her book rejected by publishers wasn't to work on it and improve based on feedback, but to throw a tantrum and pull the book. It says a lot that she's still making the same consistent, basic mistakes with grammar, punctuation and language that she did 6 years ago, even after an English degree, writing retreats and working with a literary agent. She thinks she's an infallible genius who doesn't need to improve, but it probably doesn't help that all her interests are fake so there's never any real desire to engage with them and get better.

A bit off topic, but not exactly. Does anyone ever watch Diary of Andrea? She is the Norwegian "friend" that Ruby mentions and has met once irl. Andrea just celebrated her 20th birthday and these were my takeaways from it, in comparison to Ruby.

Andrea is 3 years younger than Ruby, and sometimes that age shows, but overall, she is a lot more mature. She often lives away from home for long periods of time due to schooling and never whines about it. She drives, she paints nicely, has a clean kitchen and home, very neat and tidy, she had a party with about 8 other girls who all looked their age and no one was playing dress up or twirling in fields. She has real friends with a real life. They were dancing to music and acting like normal late teens/early adults, not playing out a scene from Matilda! I also could not help but notice the few sweet gifts she received. Some water paints, which she was thrilled with, being an artist, 2 matching mugs, a pretty plate, and then....a book of A Little Princess. I am pretty sure we know who sent that one. She looked less than thrilled about receiving it, to say the least, and while she showed it, she didn't say anything about it. Especially after her speech about no longer hiding behind being a teenager and time to act like an adult. Sorry, Rubes....not everyone wants to cling to their 8 year old self! I think Andrea wants to embrace her future, not linger in the past, something Ruby could certainly learn a wise lesson from.

Is anything this girl puts out not about pretending 'the aesthetic'? Ruby, we all believe you're nothing like you say you are. Clean (nah - see bedroom), organised (nah - see bedroom), into dark or light academia (nah- see bedroom), a writer ( nah - see published effort), intelligent (nah - see content, poetry, writing, novel, lack of understanding in relation to pronunciation, use & understanding of English), interesting (nah- see content), good at arts and crafts (nah - see painting, book binding & embroidery), good at cooking (nah- see burnt offerings, lives a health lifestyle (nah - see a pale & spindly Ruby), a good candidate for Oxford (nah - see ALL of content). Just my opinion Rubes so don't come for me.

 

[JustVibing]

Ugh it has been pointed out before but I also really hate her using "the best evaaar" or "my absoluuutle favourite" in front of everything she likes. Literally like a 5yo who doesnt have the scope wide enough to realize that not everything in life is tier-ranked.

The part about "perfected over many years" is so hillarious to me though. Like she pretends she is this master baker perfecting recipes, but whenever she bakes sth. in her videos its
a) burned
b) looks terrible
c) lazily slapped together from a few convenience products (tbh no shame in that but dont act like youre a master baker making croissants when you actually just roll up some premade dough and let it burn)
d) never shown because even she realizes it looks too terrible.

I cant remember even seeing a bake of hers that turned out looking half decent, and we dont even know how the stuff tastes. Its typically fake-interest-Ruby, but what I dont get is: If I had a year of unlimited time and was interested in baking I would try out so many things and actually inform myself on how to bake. (Plus maybe dont always leave the house with the oven on dafuq)

 

[gossip_guy]

Ruby's released her 'NAYCHA JARRRNAL' facsimile (or "FASCimile", as Ruby spells it - and "FAKE-SMILE", as Ruby pronounces it).

For just £8+P&P, you can experience the magic of Ruby discovering what a sparrow is, or the wonder of her 398th poem of the year about seagulls.

And it wouldn't be Ruby merch if she just didn't bother sending stuff out. Right on cue, someone complains that they haven't received the poetry collection they paid for and right on cue, Ruby replies that it's "so strange" that the thing that always happens with her happened again.

BOT I HEARD IT BOTH WAYS
or something like that.

She is so pathetic that she can't even wrap her mind around practical thinking.

A candle is a candle.
A taper is a type of candle shape. Taper, votive, pillar, etc..
A candlestick is where you stick the candle in.
A candlestick holder would be where you keep your candlestick when you aren't using it, like the box it came in.

Is she really this brain dead? I can't even. I have no idea how she ever graduated in anything. She is as dense as it comes.

 

[Alecia89]

Let's not forget her remarkable tablet she uses for all her notes and things!

 

[Mr.Mistoffelees]

Imagine being a self-proclaimed avid reader who's about to start their Master's degree at Oxford and still not knowing what POV is and how it works. Will she ever learn?

 

[Jelly Bean]

She tries sooo hard to be 6 years old.
It's very sad.

Grown women pretending to be little girls is so wierd and creepy.

 

[emerald]

I was rattled by the fact she was keeping her Apple pencil in the pencil case instead of with the iPad?? It’s magnetic so it can stay with the iPad at
all times and get charged… that’s the point….

 

[coldestofspirits]

Some people know her address but I think most of us just know her general area. I’m pretty sure no one would post her details openly - it’s just information that can be found if you look. It’s the same for anyone who becomes a public figure and doesn’t aggressively shield their information.

If I were Ruby I wouldn’t be worried about Tattle but about the obsessive fans from YouTube.

 

[pepperm1nt]

So, according to her latest TikTok she finished reading Genuine Fraud (she read about half of it), looked out the window and contemplated the ending, watched an episode of The Summer I Turned Pretty, did some writing and (or ?) wrote some poetry, started another book, Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan and almost finished it (she had 20 pages left to read). But she did all of that during a 2 HOUR FLIGHT.

Huh?!??

The first episode of the show alone is 45 minutes. Also, I have read Small Things Like These by Keegan (which I absolutely recommend!) and although it's a short book (you could call it a novella), it's one that I enjoyed reading slowly. Not because it's dense or complicated, but because the story itself is in some way "quiet" or subtle and the pace isn't really fast. I'm sorry if my english isn't the best (and I'm really trying to not sound too rubyesque with this comparison) but the book felt comforting and quiet, a bit like the calm that exists during a snowfall at night, even though the story itself is dark at times, you know ?

So, Ruby almost finishing it in less than 2 hours (given the fact she did all those other things) tells me that 1) she either speed-reads or 2) she lies about having almost finished it. But why??? Why must you always lie?

Sigh... Maybe I'm just a really slow reader. And honestly, I prefer to be a slow reader and to actually engage with the story than do whatever the hell she's doing just to appear like a bOoKwORm and have 800 books marked as "read" on Goodreads.

Re: cleanliness. I am not a stickler for it, my home is nearly always a little overdue for a clean in one place or another. But that screen shot someone posted a while back of the enormous amounts of dust under Ruby’s bed was absolutely sickening. It’s literally a health hazard, it would cause respiratory problems at least. Someone also posted an excerpt her mother had written about how she never vacuums under the couch cushions nor the beds, how there’s cob webs everywhere etc and she just asks guests to “ignore it”…

Their bodies may be used to it in that they’re not having constant allergic reactions but anyone else would surely at least sneeze a lot while there, if not have full on allergies and leave feeling run down and sick. Ruby never looks healthy which I’m sure she doesn’t eat enough or well but it wouldn’t help breathing in 10 years of dust and ingesting the bacteria that is clearly thriving all over their surfaces.

On the bed sheets, at first I was giving benefit of the doubt as I personally really only have 1 sheet set that I wash and dry then put back on the bed. I do have a spare but they are old and I don’t like them haha. But seeing the state of the house and their normalised levels of hygiene I don’t think this is the case here. Plus she literally took them outside then put them back on LOL.

POV: it’s raining outside and you’re browsing one of the largest bookshops in London. You see Ruby. You drop the book you’re holding and run out the door. You forget to pull out your umbrella. It doesn’t matter. Survival does.

The trend continues:
