Ruby Granger #40 Ruby the linguistic terrorist

[Green Lion]

Also, why would you want to write a grocery shopping list 5-6 weeks before you move in? That would be sooo far down my priority list if I had to get ready to start uni again!

Looks like rich, privileged people glamorizing everyday chores to me and Remindes me of the video were Kris and Kyle Kardashian went shopping like normal people and made a whole event out of it.

God, this defensive, lie-filled planner-shilling video is beyond embarrassing.

Starting off a video acting huffy and with a chip on her shoulder is definitely a great look for someone trying to convince people to fork over £18.50+P&P for a pile of shit.

"OIY DYOO YEEESE THIS PLANNAHHH..." Ruby says, passive-aggressively.
(Ruby attempts to prove this by angrily flipping through a whopping two whole pages, then abruptly cuts away to a weird split-second image of some businesspeople standing in a field for some reason:

Then cuts to a different angle of her showing the same pages again.)

She claims she uses her planner daily for 4 years, yet still struggles to find any that have been used consistently outside of advertisements and the same planner pages always crop up again and again.

She's clearly aware that people know she doesn't use it and yet can't be bothered to either fess up or make the lies convincing and thought that committing to filling out a few fake pages in a row ahead of filming this video would sell her bullshit.

I don't know why anyone would buy what she's selling, figuratively or literally. Just endless lies to try to sell naïve children some overpriced trash that Ruby doesn't use herself.

The planner's literally only just launched and already she's telling customers that they'll be late.

And in a truly impressive feat of lazy incompetence, the listing page has the description for last year's planner by mistake, claiming the new one to have a woodland theme and illustrations from someone who's not Ruby.

"The forth annual Academic Planner is here." Perfectionist. Genius. Born for Oxford University.

They've had a whole year to plan for this and she couldn't be bothered to double-check the listing before it went live. Just staggering how she fucks up so much, so often.

She also got the name of the illustrator wrong. Her insta is @annagraytalks not @annatalks !

love proper credit to small artists xoxo

If I may correct your corrections:
"We are not sorry for any inconvenience this may cause."

oh and:
"However, our usual 3 working day delivery schedule may be affected, taking up to 6." 6 what? days, months, years, centuries? please specify. I know she means days, because earlier in the sentence it says "3 working day", but nonetheless.

Good point! It gets even worse!

Although I wouldn't be shocked if Ruby pointed to this accidental loophole when people start complaining that nothing has arrived after 5 weeks.

"ACKSCUSE ME, bot it VARRY CLEARLYS SAZ "OP TYOO 6" and as we awl know, six is a VARRY significant nomba in the Graggorian calendar, and as you may knyow, Profassor Hyoobart Abbenfoffle tals us that whan wee say "six", in ACADAYYMIA, we are jannerally refarrding tyoo the monnths of the yahhr. Bot thankyou fwore your parchase. x"

Every sane person would run a text that should be published somewhere at least through a basic built-in spell check just to make sure there are no obvious mistakes

And this is after she's already edited it once to remove a major mistake. BOT SHE STROGGLES WITH PARFACTIONISM!

 

[Griftwood]

Can she not manage to tuck sheets in? Why is it hanging like that?!

She’s trying to hide the mess of random crap she’s shoved under the bed to gather dust. I feel like she’d benefit from a little visit from c. 2017 Marie Kondo, the hoarding is out of control.

 

[georgiatheolivegirl]

I'm really curious if she manages to busywork and fake her way through Oxford. I suspect she will because the world isn't a fair place lmao

 

[Whisper2Me]

She seems more invested in spending time writing rather than studying for Oxford. Her timing is bad. She is going to need to give it her all and then some, but she kept giving up study time to writing her stupid book that will certainly get turned down again. She briefly mentioned her appointment with her therapist, but not sure why it would still be remote. There is no need for that. Most therapists would prefer to see you in person. Of course, Ruby can never do anything common, right? At least she is seeing someone, but I wonder how many issues she is dealing with. They will certainly become exasperated once she moves out of home again, has to deal with the public, going to classes/lectures/meeting with professors, eating with others and possibly living with someone else, and on top of that all the studying and seeing her peers know a lot more than she does. She is going to get slapped hard with reality in October.

Aaaand it’s time (tomorrow, that is). 10 best study habits. Note this comes two weeks after the ”preparing for summer” video, because god forbid we forget about skyool for more than ten days, even in the summer.

View attachment 2351975

it’s going to be 95% recycled footage, hastily slapped together with her high-pitched voiceover and plenty of coffee anti-ASMR.

I recently got laid off and decided today that I’m going to take a gap yahh (or a few months) from employment and just study for a little bit. Roobee’s video will be useful, I’ll just do the exact opposite of what she says.

I hereby wager that it will contain that clip of her with the pale blue shirt and hair in ponytail, where she is in a seminar class from her school days. I bet it will be part of a montage showing her studying in several locations.

If it is not included I may actually be disappointed.

 

[Lola123]

Just watched her latest video on preparing for back to school university.

I genuinely can't see any other outcome for Ruby other than training as a teacher after her Masters. She is so clearly bizarrely emotionally attached to the academic year. How on earth would she work a normal 9-5 where September is just another normal month????!

She wouldn’t pass the interview or the first term of placement for teaching, she doesn’t have the minerals. I think she’ll keep trying with writing and worst case try and get a PhD. She doesn’t need to worry about it being funded either

 

[Corneilya]

From the vomit yellow of the cover to the horrible illustrations, the ruined book and that... Watercolor mess it's just painful. For a perfectionnist she doesn't spend enough time to properly learn and train. She has the chance to have enough money to create her own products to sell, she should really work more on it, or make collaborations with real artists.
And what's "fun" and "exciting" about that food? It just sounds sad and not really appetizing to be honest.

 

[Griftwood]

I hope the archives provide pencil-sharpening services, because Roobee hasn’t bothered with a sharpener, let alone an eraser.

 

[curlysue123]

I feel like she keeps saying "over the summer" because she still associates summer with student holidays. Anyone working outside of education wouldn't necessarily always have leave during the summer for long periods (especially at the beginning of one's career). She obviously has too much time on her hands and doesn't know what to do with herself.

 

[robinhiggs]

Why was one of her aims to submit something to a publisher once a week? Just a surefire way to get a restraining order

She wore a fitted black strapless dress at the end and it looked decent, so of course she threw on a tatty granny shawl to ruin the look

 

[DrinaM]

Regarding the taxi and learning to drive, I think of city living as shown in Sex and the City, a particular episode where the girls borrow a car and realise that none of them knows how to drive, because they've lived the city life. Yes, thats a fictional example. But when I am in the city for work, i use only public transport, walking or if Im struggling ( I have a chronic pain injury) I'll take a taxi or uber even if its just a few blocks over.

However, I personally believe that knowing how to operate a car and holding a license to drive is such an important skill. I am currently a bit rural, I'd be screwed if I didn't know how to drive a car. Also, many employers prefer an employee that knows how to drive. Even if one doesn't have one's own car, it can be very important that an employee is able to drive a company car for a variety of reasons. Driving is a life skill. A rather necessary one.

Just wondering, is that a reflection on the computer screen? Or is it lots of nasty finger prints?

Whoops, Ruby wasn't paying attention when Googling "quotes about siblings" and accidentally reveals she didn't actually read the thing she claims she read, for the 42,948,567th time.

I'm also dying at Ruby's weirdly clinical and ambiguous birthday message to her sister; note that Ruby doesn't actually says anything positive about her sister or their relationship anywhere in this post.

That birthday wish would've been a lot more sincere without the half-arsed reference to Antigone. Also, does anyone else find it cringe that the family refer to her as Marfa?

 

[Rumblemumble]

Harry Potter? Again?

 

[pinkmug]

The absolute state of her nails Ruby, get a professional manicure I'm begging you, you have the money for it. Half chipped varnish, cracks, dirty nails, you'd think she's just stepped off a refugee boat after three weeks at open sea. You live in a manor, you do fuck all all day. Good grief.

 

[Griftwood]

someone please stop her at the border, i can’t handle being bombarded with tiktoks of her prancing around edinburgh acting like we’re stuck in the 1800s and mispronouncing everything again

Scotland is such a meaningful place for her though, after all it was after Blakeney visited Scotland that Roobee was first introduced to the novel concept of seasoning her porridge with *gasp* salt!

 

[Griftwood]

Sur-f*cking-prise We can’t deliver, but it’s a good thing, really!

 

[coldestofspirits]

The poor food hygiene is what bothers me more than anything else! I’m very sensitive to that and seeing their gross kitchen really gives me the ick.

 

[Peony14]

omg literally why does she have to mention that she has read antigone in 2018. no well-read person ever says things like ulysses, which I first read in 2008... she is fooling no one; it only shows how insecure she is about her intellectual and cultural caliber. and she fucks her insipid allusions up every damn time. remember the notorious 1984 incident lol

It’s so odd if her to always add dated or ages to things she has “read”. She could have just said “which I read a while ago and still dip into […]”

Ohh what’s the 1984 incident? I seem to have missed it
