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.

Secondly, did my eyes and ears deceive me or did she cite Gatsby as a good example to follow of how to conduct one’s day-to-day life? 😂
The thing is, you can "practise" something as much as you like but if you get no feedback on it, the skill isn't going to develop and you're going to get into the habit of bad execution. It's like when she says she's learning Latin or Spanish, there are probably mistakes she's making that are getting further embedded into her practice because nobody with actual knowledge is correcting her. It's a vital part of learning, to be checked and corrected by someone who knows the subject better than you do.

”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?
What do you bleeping know, we’re doubling down on the rain-loving. There’s zero way this isn’t another undeclared ad - when has she ever tagged anyone who wasn’t paying her?

We need to normalize going out for a walk in the rain, eh? Is it... is villainized? Exactly who is so against of people going out in the rain, that she feels the need to use the word "normalize"? imagine having nothing in your life, that this is an issue for you lmao

"Anatomy of a Pluviophile". Ugh must she need to put a label on everything. autumn enthusiast, tea lover, bookworm, introvert... No personality whatsoever 🤷‍♀️

Also, that's really really not the face of "extreme joy" bleeping hell.

I truly wonder if she’ll even make it through her Masters degree (? Is it called the same in the UK?) because if she’s gonna treat this the same as high school she won’t have a good time

That New Yorker article is from a 2018 edition of the magazine. She's just keeping a few around as props.

She is the only person who does a new academic year prep video and talks about fountain ink, typewriters, and then an iPad unboxing all in the same video. It's like she can't figure out what aesthetic she is. A used iPad just weirds me out, I'm not sure why though.

It weirds me out too, but only because she went out of her way in a previous video to say that the iPad Pro was vastly overrated, and that a regular one was all you needed. Also I call bs on her actually using the typewriter. She’s hauled it out of its cobwebby cave for videos maybe twice.

I meant the way she wrote "haul" ^^
Oh yes I wasn't referring directly to your comment, sorry I should have made that clear! Was instead commenting on how silly it is she keeps old magazines around for props.

Her handlettering is very bad haha.

She can't even be bothered with a lip service advertisement of PONKINPODDERTIFTEA notebook to even try to make it vaguely convincing that she's ever used their products outside of ads, she just advertises the planner and some crappy stickers because they're releasing soon and that's it.

She's totally given up on any pretence that she ever "yeezes" PONKEPODTIFTI's crappy, overpriced notebook and has gone all in on Moleskine. She AWWHWHEYS has them with her and AWWLWHEEYSSSSS YEEZES THAM and they're her FAVOURITE brand and she buys them ACKSKLYOOOSIVELY. She'll have about as much luck with Moleskine sponsor-begging as she has with Waterstones.

It should be a dead giveaway that she never used a single one of those crappy, crappy PONKUPODTFTI products unless it was to advertise them. As soon as it becomes financially pointless to lie about a product, she instantly stops. But since she convinced her management to eke out one last planner release, she's still having to unconvincingly advertise those. "It's the planner that oiy desoigned, OFFCWOARSE OIY'M GYOWING TYOO YEEZE THAT PLANNER." Spoilers: She didn't design it and she won't use it outside of ads.

Also hilarious: Ruby is acting like the new academic year has arrived and you must plan for it yesterday, yet even after what she claims is a year of planning, the last PONKERPLODDITREE planner (which looks identical to all the others) still hasn't been printed and assembled. I hope even her gullible fans have sense enough to see through this lazy, money-grabbing bull and buy elsewhere.

(Sheet still unchanged after over 2.5 months. Constantly making contact with the dusty floor for maximum filthiness. Even the bedding she did change has now gone unwashed for nearly a month and a half.)

Ruby's back on her nonsensical performative poverty bull. She wasted £750+ on an iPad Pro and keyboard combo that she didn't need since she owns an iMac, a MacBook and an iPad, but tries desperately to convince everyone that she's VARRY PWOOR and this was a VARRY SOSSTAINABLE PARRCHASE because it was (GASP) SACKOND-HAAHHND.

Then she mentions that she can't believe that she got this, like she never thought she'd be able to afford it, even though she's had over a dozen holidays in the past year, lives rent-free in a manor, gets paid thousands for lazy ads, is a landlord, etc.

Almost half this video is devoted to her showing off her new iPad for some reason.

She might want to skip the Master's course and take a basic ESL course. Her English is getting worse and worse. "Recyckable." "Hamwritten." Plus all her mangled syllables and interchangeable vowels.

Really annoyed me that she was so in love with the new iPad and it became her favourite thing when she already has an iPad 9th gen which does exactly the same thing except doesn’t have the home button. And she also has a MacBook and an iMac.
