"Bookish Things To Do When You're Bored."
If you're having the weirdest feeling of deja vu, it's probably because Ruby's reached new lows of laziness and has just remade a video she released mere months ago, complete with recycled footage and near-identical shots:
This video:
"Awl of theseee thingsss are with INTROVARRTS in moind. Beecoz...whan we think of...relaxation--whan we think offff free-toiyme activiteeeeas, they dyo tand tyoo beee social things? And it's josst not as acksaptable tyoooo....desoide tyo dyoo sommthing boiy yoresalf. For lazzsha."
The other video:
"Oiy feel loike society - we think of syocial activities as being a koind of ACKSAPTABULL fworm of lashzhah activity whaahr it dossn't matter if yore being prodocktive? Whaahrass as syoon as yore spanding toiyme boiy yoresalf it tarns intyo you being "lyazy"--"misshoozing yore toiyme". Oiy think that's quoyte an intrassting distinctshon. Hosstle colchah koind of convinces oss that it'syokay to spand toiyme doing SYOSHAL things for lashzhah BOHT NOT YOHKYAY tyo dyo things boiy yoresalf."
Ruby gets on her soapbox about things that aren't real and opines yet again that "WE" tend to do things that only Ruby blathers about from her naïve, narrow-minded viewpoint. When Ruby suggests once again that THYOSE BOLLYING SOCIAL PEOPLE GAT AWLL THE BREAKS IN SOCIETEEEA, she again neglects to point out that she - a self-proclaimed introvert - got rich just rotting in her room and has been handed endless money and privilege despite never properly interacting with society or leaving her sheltered bubble.
Like that other video, this is just a pointless, performative list of bizarre nonsense from someone desperately wanting to convince everyone that she's VARRY ENLOIGHTENED, VARRY INTELLACKTUAL, VARRY BOCKISH AND SOCH AN INTROVARRRT. All this video does, though, is give the impression once again that Ruby is incredibly fake and anything but an introvert who thrives in her own company and is comfortable in her own skin.
These aren't introvert activities, these are activities Ruby
thinks introverts would do, having no understanding of people or introverts herself. Almost the entire list is comprised of bizarre activities for her to try to impress
other people, not entertain herself. I don't believe for a second that Ruby's doing any of this shit for real in her free time. But every time she tosses together a bafflingly stupid list of weird crap to do, she comes across so desperate to not be alone with her own thoughts and with so few things she genuinely enjoys rattling around in her fake personality of cobbled-together interests that she'll do absolutely anything to fill her time with
something, no matter how fake and pointless.
Introverts generally know exactly how they want to spend their limited free time already, they're not waiting around for Ruby's latest list of performative rich Tory NEET bullshit.
1. Look up all of your "favourite quotes" (if you're Ruby, this means quotes you just randomly found on Goodreads from books you've never read) from books and print them out to stick on your wall.
2. Dress up like Keira Knightly in "PROIDE AND PRADJUDICE" and walk around your garden
pretending you're reading.
3."LAAARNH A NEW POEM." You can't just read and enjoy a poem for yourself, you have to turn it into a VARRY PRODOCKTIVE STODDY SASSHON and memorise it to recite later to convince people you're literate.
4. Contract tetanus. Having lockjaw will help you become more of an INTROVARRT, because it'll remove to ability to talk to other human beings, so you can focus on pretending to know how to read.
5. Reorganise your collection of gifted
RAMADEE KYOMBYOOOCHA cans BOCKSHALVES
and don't declare the advertised product under any circumstances.
6. Compensate for your own lack of writing talent by destroying someone else's book.
7. Watch your YouTube stats steadily decline as all your viewers die of boredom.
Your trains and train journeys are pleasant indeed, but only when you're in command of your free time, can travel whenever/wherever and have the money set aside for that. The tube, even when you're a tourist, is miserable during rush hour. It blows my mind that Ruby is more of a tourist in the country she was born and raised in than an actual tourist. Reality has never touched her, even with a ten-foot pole.
So it’s got both an accumulation of dead skin cells and any shit (literal and otherwise) that she and the dog carry in.
