So, I am not even surprised that the thought of studying with "100 of people" is scary, because she probably realized that she won't be the sharpest knife in the drawer. But wasn't she a self-proclaimed tea enthusiast? Wasn't drinking coffee the past year one of her biggest personality traits? Do I smell lies here, Roobs? Also, wasn't little miss claiming that she HONASTLY loves reading for pleasure and she reads hundreds of books per year? What are those - more lies?

Is it just me, or is it truly worrying that she answers the question with the word "someone ..." as if she is about to create a new fake persona?

Not to mention how "publishing a children's book" is now within 5-year range in her plans... Just sad to watch because for me it seems that even she herself doesn't know who she actually is and what she likes, or wants to do in life... Half of the planner is full of useless things that aren't academic-related and already pre-filled.

This is incredibly sad, to see a grown woman having to need to write out some bizarre kind of mind map that lists who she wishes she could be. No matter what good things have happened in her life, no matter what experiences and all the luxury she enjoys, the immense freedom and lack of responsibility, she still is extremely unhappy with herself and trying to figure out who she is by dreaming of taking on odd challenges. Just so pathetic. I know she has been in and out of therapy, but it doesn't seem to be helping. I am not seeing any improvements. Only more confusion as to her seeking her own self as she approaches her mid 20's.

”We’ve been fine so far this morning but the forecast doesn’t look promising.” Why is someone whose entire personality is largely built upon the firm foundation of loving rain (unlike other girls) devoting most of a letter to whining about rain?

”I already know how warm the coffee will be.” Most coffee makers are designed to have the end result be at a certain temperature, and there isn’t a lot of variation in that. So I believe Roobee on this one. Odd thing to say, though.

Only if we could see the same beauty as Roobes!

And, it didn't change because THEY liked it. All the customers' opinion doesn't matter I guess?

Buckle up for tomorrow's *very interesting* video.

Spoiler

It turns out I have the sense of humour of a small child.

You put way more work into this than Ruby into any of her videos and you aren't even getting paid for it lmao.

“Jumpers worn new with smoke”? What?

 

[zoeanned]

Ah yes, Anne of Green Gables, famous VEEEEGAN baker. No wonder her cakes often failed, there are zero instructions in this recipe as to how to actually make it.

The extent of Ruby’s ineptitude and general stupidity is just baffling to me.

Oh my, the next product to launch on her website is going to be a “cook book”

I honestly don’t know who looks at Ruby’s food and thinks it looks appetising

She knows if she admits that all the aesthetics are fake, her dream to be a writer is fake, her love of learning is fake, and basically, everything she claims to love and like was borrowed from someone else - fictional or real -, she would remain empty because during her teenage years and university years instead of finding out who she is and what does she want from life, she spent every waking day with lies and aesthetics, fabricated personalities and playing pretend.

That is a lot to unpack and unfortunately, I don't think she is ready for it. She is not even ready to address the issues in the first place. And I'm sure her mum - from what we know from her poems and blog entries - is not helping her at all. We can see how she is constantly corrected in the comment section and she can't deal with a single tiny correction, let alone admitting that she f*cked up her teenage and university years.

At least Martha seems to be more independent and has actual interests, friends and a life - far from them.

Some "food highlights from Italy". Yeah, Roobs, right. Looks tasty enough.

I wholeheartedly agree that Ruby is not in love with Blakeney, but rather infatuated with her. She has lived such a narrow life that it is not unusual for her to cling to anyone who might be patient with her, spend time with her, flatter her on occasion and be, in any way, a role model to her. Even if they don't want any part of it. I don't feel Blakeney reciprocates these feelings. She is very much her own person and has her own life. I mean, neither of them saw each other for a year, so it really isn't that much of a friendship either, when they live in the same country and attended the same uni/roomed with each other, but neither found time to be together. It is easier to get along when you are apart and don't have to deal with any reality. All the best friend crap is immature thinking. I did not refer to people as my best friend or my 2nd best friend by the time I was attending college. They all fell under the category of friends and it was fine. I didn't need to put special labels on them. They weren't perfect. I wasn't perfect. We had great times. Ruby is seeing her relationship through rose-coloured glasses and it is easy to "imagine" what a vacation or time with a friend will be like, as opposed to actually being with them, especially after a year goes by. During that time her infatuation can easily turn to an unhealthy obsession. I felt like labeling her as her "best" friend, all the time, is her way of trying to force the relationship and lock it in, rather than let it mature naturally, even if that means going separately their own way. I remember Ruby talking a lot about certain teachers of her old school and wonder if she was somewhat infatuated by some of them, too. Very much like she becomes obsessed with fictional characters or play-acting; Hermoine Granger, Anne of Green Gables, Sarah in A Little Princess, Matilda, etc.. The list is rather endless. I don't think anything physical is happening. Just watching them try to twirl each other and how awkward they both were with each other didn't scream relationship to me. It was more like Blakeney pacifying the child-woman who probably paid for her vacation to babysit her. So many of these online, fellow YouTuber friendships are tremendously fake and anything but sincere. They are out for content, money and viewership. Nothing more. So they all use each other or anyone else that falls into their path for their own egos. Ruby is no different.

I googled "candlestick," and lo and behold:

She looks even more stupid by not admitting to her mistakes.

Yup I googled it too lol just to make sure it wasn’t all in my head. And it’s not - it’s just that Roodassb1tch will pick gaslight over google every day of the week.

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.

Countdown to the "That's very unusual! Email me at [email protected] and I will JANUINELY look into this. x" reply that she sends every time the exact same issues happen every year starts now...

She's added photos to the listing for her NAYCHAA JAAARRRNAL and it's all just hilariously crappy, self-indulgent, childish scribblings.

Ruby makes everything sound deeply sinister - I read this as ‘collecting them in colanders before the storm clown came’. The storm clown *shudders*.

"There are multiple kinds of rain, and our language doesn't properly let un describe them, I don't think..."

Those pesky UN sanctions, keeping Ruby from being able to describe the weather.

"[There is] no word for that playful, waru rasu which green un, year on year. Come summer."

£8 plus postage for this.

"Woodpecker" - "I didn't see a woodpecker." I don't see one either, Ruby, since you've included a photo of your dog showing its butthole where a picture of a woodpecker should be. Ruby claims she didn't see a woodpecker, but heard one.

Since Ruby needed the internet's help to identify a sparrow - possibly the UK's most common bird - I don't trust her to be able to identify a woodpecker by sound. She likely just heard a random banging near the house again and thought, "Ahh, yass! 'Tis the HOMBLE WOODPACKER, cyome to visit me wonce mwoar!" Meanwhile her mother's lying in a crumpled heap at the bottom of the stairs again trying to bang out a call for help in Morse code.

You know this project is worth charging money for when the height of insight, whimsy and wonder that can be found in Ruby's nature journal is her noting the things she didn't see. I expect you'll turn to page 6 to find an entry labelled 'Sumatran Rhinoceros'. Ruby didn't see one of those, either, but she heard her neighbour sneeze, so please enjoy a photo of a Remedy Kombucha can.

Her nature journal was basically the type of school projects my primary school used to give us for spring holidays. We were like 8 or 9 yo. I mean that's a nice little project for yourself but to promote and sell it uh... I wouldn't dare.

To me this was way more about optics, how she wants to be seen by all her new classmates rather than actually something she wants to do. We all know she is all image no substance.

Yeah I kind of agree. I always wanted to be the kind of woman who had a glass of wine in the evening, it seems so sophisticated and cosmopolitan. I prefer cocktails, I don’t really like wine it’s just the aesthetic of the sleek lady I wanted to be

"cutest toast I've ever happened across"

isn't it, "happened to come across"? or is "happened across" also a saying?

also wtf is "charming rivers I'm yet to see"?? she's talking as if she saw the rivers, but the rivers are rivers that she's yet to see? If she didn't see them, then, well, why the fuck not, if you were already there, why mention it at all? obviously she did see the rivers, and they were the most charming rivers she has ever seen, but she wanted to sounds like the most brightest smartest kindest little girl ever lived, but also forgot her brain is dead and can't make sense of words anymore, not that it ever did. Honestly, it's not even a rare expression—yet to see. How how how so much fuck-up?

I think ‘happened upon’ is more correct (or ‘happened to come across’ if you must), but it’s old-fashioned either way.

 

[Daredevil]

Don’t look here, Roomba! Do your work!

Isn’t summer in UK? (I’ve no idea )

 

[Thehogonthelog]

Why does she put her clothes for the next day on the floor
There was an empty side table right there in the same shot

 

[gossip_guy]

Do we know the distance between her job and her house?
Because if it's literally 5 minutes down the road then there's no reason why she had to take a taxi. Like, Jesus. I get that it's August and it's really hot but she really couldn't walk or cycle for 5 minutes instead of blowing money on a taxi?

It's a 2 mile trip from her house to the school. Google Maps says it's a 6 minute drive, a 40 minute walk (by main roads, she could probably shortcut that considering it's all fields and country lanes there) or 10 minutes by bike, so a perfectly reasonable distance for her to get there on her own if it's a nice day and she JANUINELY LOVVS WALKING AND RONNING AND COICYLINGG.

And you just know there's no way she's tipping that driver for this pointless commute.

 

[emmer_moans]

You’d think with her professed love for busywork, she’d welcome the opportunity to just bring one type of note-taking apparatus and rewrite notes to her heart’s content when she gets back to her accommodation.

Exactly! All the ‘LAMMY PANS’ and washi tape and special highlighters and stamps and wax seals can come out when she does her work. There’s no way she will need all those pens in her lectures or supervisions. My shoulders are getting sympathy pain just thinking of toting all that stuff.

 

[londongirl92]

Her recent TikTok about the Barbie movie: For someone who “loves to be organised and tidy” her wardrobe is such a mess. The way that everything is just shoved in boxes… no wonder all of her clothes are always creased.

Also I feel like the whole video is so badly planned. She spends 80% of it showing outfits that she isn’t going to wear and then quickly films what she did wear and a quick sentence on her liking the film. Why didn’t she just shoot the end part and actually share something more in depth. So lazy as always!
