Ruby Granger #40 Ruby the linguistic terrorist

[coldestofspirits]

My inner city state school never taught us Latin

Better get on with reading Harry Potter so you can learn some, then. That’s all the Latin you need!

Didn't we watch this video last year

Yes, see you all again for the same video next year

 

[inyo]

I watched one of her old Study With Mes the other day and now they keep coming up in my recommended videos. One of them is a 12 hour study day (this was during school when she really was studying a ridiculous number of hours per day and not stitching together four days' worth of footage) in August. There is no need to do even two hours of studying during the summer holidays as a 17 year old, let alone 12 hours.

Even though it was her own choice, I ended up feeling a bit sad for her. She didn't really create the memories that everyone else did on school holidays, and she would've easily made it to Exeter to study English by doing only half the work she did in sixth form.

Ruby’s gift hauls are my favourite. Blatant consumerism! Unbridled embrace of her privilege! Shameless attempts to fabricate one flimsy, fake identity after another!

such a shame she didn’t grace us with a birthday one this year.

They are some of the only videos in which she looks genuinely happy..

I think we all see the queerness in this video but I struggle to think that Ruby intended it or is actually harbouring secret feelings for Blakney. I think she’s trying to give more of a “girlhood” vibe. I also think the love-bombing is a desperate attempt to convince her viewers that she does indeed have a “best friend”… when actually she’s probably quite lonely as her circle of friends is very small. I feel like she uses the “I’ve got a best friend so why would I need lots of friends” attitude. We never really saw her branch out at Exeter (in her defence, covid didn’t help) but I think this is an extension of that.

Just to add, nothing wrong with having a small circle particularly if you’re happy/secure in your life but I think that Ruby’s situation is due to the way she isolates herself..

I think it’s important not to presume someone’s sexuality. Part of me feels like her sheltered life will probably end up with her meeting someone, getting married, having a nuclear family and living in a manor like mummy and daddy. Imagine if she did a Grace Booth and does it all in the space of a few months

She seemed to quickly fly over anything that actually had to do with academics. She is on this high of back-to-school things, not the actual studying and learning aspects. She could have annotated and finished The Faerie Queene during this time. How many ads were crammed into this video? She gets worse every day!

The fact that she hasn't done any reading for this course suggests to me that did not want to do this period of study and instead wanted to do a Masters in either the 1830-1914 course or the 1900-present course.

 

[Griftwood]

I thought she packed an extra bag for her holiday because she said that she was going to be away for quite a while yet it appears that she was only in Florence for a week.

yeah I was convinced she was going to go to Geneva after Florence and pretend to be the next Mary Shelley

 

[Whisper2Me]

Her latest video was so awkward when she went on and on about the iPad. Is this literally the first one she has ever owned? Sorry, but they are so common now that I fail to see the big deal about it. They have been around for ages. I can't believe she is planning to do a video to show what she has on hers. That is so passe. Does anyone even bother to do that now, especially someone her age? I don't even see young kids doing that anymore. iPads are just not a big deal, in spite of their price, and she didn't even get hers new. I can just see it failing her in the middle of her Masters, losing all her info. Refurbished ones can play some nasty tricks on you. The rest of the video was just ridiculous. A grown woman showing her "back to school" haul is just twisted.

 

[threeSMEGfridges]

omg A new video about resetting herself. Didn't she just reset after resetting during her vacation? Is she an android that needs to get recharged and defragged every few weeks? This is pure nonsense. She doesn't even go back until October. So this must be the pre-fall reset, aka the "I'm so jealous of everyone starting year 7 because I want to be a child again, so let's pretend we are going back to school and not Uni!" reset. Seriously? Reality check, please? I would love to throw her into retail and see how she performs in a basic undergrad job. Then I would like to stuff her in an office and see how she fares with life in a cubicle. No time for twirling. Often no window! Just noise, chaos, and phones ringing off the hook.

i reset every night. When I come home from work, chill, do chores, make dinner and prep lunches.

 

[qwikti]

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.

I just did a precursory search and didn't find it though? I found that Willowtree thing that was posted earlier, which I can safely assume isn't it, but it's most definitely not just there and easy to find.

I think there's cause for concern about both, the amount of people who say they have dreams about her and know her address in these threads I'd be more worried about that, if I were Ruby, than the comments on her account

(I'm fully braced for the 'oKaY, RuBy' comments that always get rolled out like clockwork)

 

[gossip_guy]

what do you think tattlers? @gossip_guy need your discerning eye, can you make a conclusion out of these?

I think the reflection is just these old wall sections which are positioned behind the camera.

There's also multiple cups/teapots on both sides of the table, so I think they just ordered couple of different teas/drinks at once to try.

Looks like Mummy had a coffee, a tea and a glass of water, Ruby's likely juggling a MOG OF TEAAAA ANDD AYYYY MOG OF WOORWTUHHHH to suppress her appetite again.

 

[Rumblemumble]

Ruby Ruby. Can't even write her name without fucking it up. Why would u go out of your way to show this one lol even though u signed 150 of them??

 

[ChocolateCakeYum]

Maybe that's why she hasn't done much of her course readings. She might not plan on actually taking those courses

Quite possibly.

The 1550-1700 course doesn’t really sound like her jam when all she talks about is Victorian aesthetic and romanticism.

I mean she might find it fascinating and carry it on. On the other hand (and what I suspect will happen) it might take her too far out of her comfort zone and she’ll want to change.

I know when I studied that time period I enjoyed it immensely though it damn near broke me as that stuff is hard, especially at MA level. I ended up switching to English Language and Linguistics lol.

 

[inyo]

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?

She should strap a GoPro to her head like Francis Bourgeois, if only for our amusement.

 

[missmina]

Holocaust lectures, prep and extra reading... No wonder the key event that day was to call Blakeney, probably to help her sum up.

All her to do lists have this fake vibe of her just scribbling up some made up vague tasks to make an impression (failed) that she’s busy

 

[gossip_guy]

One thing I have always noticed is that when people do these kind of videos; showing their back to school hauls, decorating hauls, or stationary hauls, they list everything below and include links their viewers can also order them if interested. Not only does she bother to do this out of consideration for interested parties, but she also doesn't answer anyone in the comments who are asking. Pretty rude and selfish of her. So much for her motto of being kind! She is such a hypocrite!

I don’t know, I think this is one of the cases where I'm glad she didn't do that.

It's already a profoundly dumb and lazy video that's completely at odds with the slow-living, old-fashioned, "varry sosstayynabol" vibe she keeps trying to claim she has. It'd be even worse if she shoved a bunch of Amazon affiliate links to £500-2,000 technology everywhere to milk money from gullible young fans rushing to buy expensive things they don't need. She does enough of that already.

She's not recommending things because they're the smartest, most useful or affordable purchase for school, and they’re all brands/products that people are already aware of. Nobody's really going to benefit from these recommendations, and I'm glad there's no links included for her to profit from.

I'm sure she only omitted affiliate links out of laziness and incompetence though rather than a conscious attempt to be less greedy, since she can just never be bothered to update the video decription.

 

[Griftwood]

She will be expected to attend a few formal meals in Hall; other than that, it’s basically optional. I’m surprised she doesn’t want to use it for content, though. One of the illustrations in the planner looks like it’s based on a college Hall.

She seems to think she's going to have endless time to cook her vegan "recreations" in addition to the workload. I feel like she's in for a surprise there. But I can also see her trying to avoid eating in Hall for control reasons - I'm sure they offer vegan options, but she won't have control over what goes in the food and is probably afraid of it for that reason.

 

[roobee]

Her back-to-school suggestions sound like that of a humanoid machine. Sleep: must do: memory. Water: drink good: concentration. Food: does not compute.

Also, her post-it note shows that she has been reading Thomas Middleton. She is such a conniving little person, secretly reading Early Modern Lit. I think she doesn't really share her "real" studying because: 1) would imply she is not well-read, particularly not for this specific course. 2) wants to seem like she can breeze through an Oxford degree without much preparation because it is no big deal for her as she just naturally belongs there.

 

[Green Lion]

I meant the way she wrote "haul" ^^

Remindes me of the titles we drew on our cardboard posters for presentations in primary school/ early middle school haha

Ugh, that floor I'm assuming someone in her family, most likely her mother, is filming this and saw no problem with showing their house in this state. So up to some point, you can say that Rumbster is just used to living in filth and it's normal for her because she was brought up like that. But then... she grows up? she goes to other people's home? She sees other people's home in videos, movies, series etc?? Did she really never notice that nobody has wet, disgusting floor, and grimy countertops, moldy sinks, and smelly sheets????

Shock horror, I don't think this one is that bad. Strictly because you can see it is actively raining outside. A bit of water on the floor from coming in and out when it's raining isn't the end of the world. It happens to everyone, especially when you have dogs. In saying that, it's also why I personally invested in doormats.

But I will conceed that the grout is absoloute filth.
