What a pointless video, even by Ruby standards. It's just a tiresome series of nonsensical lies and fake bullshit from the get-go.

Ruby claims she wanted to go to Oxford because she preferred the course at Oxford to the one at Cambridge. This after years of shouting "OXFORD, OXFORD, OXFORD!" and admitting here that she didn't even apply or consider applying anywhere else as a backup. And in the next breath shouts that she JANUINELY loves laaaahrning and academia and just JANUINELY wanted to do a Masters...but says that if she hadn't got into Oxford, she wouldn't be doing a Masters at all. She clearly just wanted an Oxford acceptance to "prove everyone wrong" and wave around as a trophy, beyond that, she couldn't care less about Oxford or academia.

Ruby's biggest regret from her GAP YAHHHH is that she didn't take a month out to just read, because this had been her dream since she was THARTEEEN (because THARTEEN is the new TWALVE, ever since she realised Tattle had clocked her habit of claiming every since major fake life accomplishment happened to her when she was TWALVE). This after claiming in vlog after vlog that she spends all day reading, alongside a litany of VARRY PRODOCKTIVE busywork tasks that couldn't been easily substituted with more reading. She says she couldn't just read for a month because she had to waaahrk at her school job. She had no problem simply not showing up to her "job" when she wanted to take several term-time holidays overseas, nor did this "waaahrk" seem to interfere with her doing nothing in particular for months on end.

Ruby addresses the question of whether "internat asstatticks" are harmful...by yammering incoherently for 5 minutes about the importance of not assigning labels to yourself, even though we needs asstatticks as shorthand for visual language, or some such nonsense. At no point does she address all the dumb-as-fuck, incredibly fake and superficial labels that darkly academical tea enthusiast pluviophile Ruby keeps assigning to herself for all to see in lieu of any actual interests or personality.

Ruby updates us on the writing process for the "bock" she's "corrantly wroyting" - the one she said earlier in the year that she'd be taking us through every step of - by telling us she can't talk about it at all. She says that Lottie Parton is dead forever and she's come to the conclusion that she ackshualleeee does not want to publish anything like that ever, but provides no further details.

This couldn't be more telling, since Ruby clearly latched onto a very commercially-friendly genre she hadn't shown even a superficial interest in before (YA mystery), grabbed a bunch of books in said genre, and tried to reverse-engineer a book from other people's ideas the same way she does essays, only with herself inserted as the main character (of course). Publishers wisely rejected it as fast as they could, and Ruby lost interest in writing in this genre the second she realised she couldn't use it as a magic ticket to an instant book deal. Naturally, Ruby paints her pulling the book as an act of artistic integrity, but quickly pivoted to ripping off Lemony Snicket for her next attempt, then whatever genre she's stealing from now, so it seems clear she's just robotically churning out a first draft in every genre she can until some niche publisher bites.

Ruby claims that studying English has drastically improved her creative writing and made her writing "more coherent". And then every poem, journal entry and story extract she posts is the same utterly incompetent, completely nonsensical shit about seagulls, the weather and people with mangled hands.

She also has a few huge zits growing on her cheek, which isn't anything noteworthy (although it might help her skin if she weren't sleeping in bedding that goes unchanged for 6-8 months at a time), but combined with her going overboard on the fake freckles again, I really thought she'd painted on three gigantic moles.

slightly OT but this girl is constantly commenting on roob’s tiktoks and she never gets a reply or even acknowledgement 🤣 i know her fans are weird but this is beyond sad
I always eye roll at her comments because her difficult decision was between APPLYING or not applying. Any normal person would apply, see if they’re even accepted and then make their ‘difficult decision’. She simply didn’t apply so of course she wasn’t going to be attending Oxford.. she didn’t get in 🤣

I think I’m going to watch her Oxford vlogs because I think this thread will be great, and I’m curious to see how she copes/presents her time at Oxford. However, after that, I’m out, because she’ll just be in her bedroom doing watercolours.

I genuinely was shocked that Ruby wouldn’t guard with her life the information that she’s summarizing the texts before even reading them, AND using AI to do so.

How does this not make her realize the facade has gone too far? She’s approaching the readings in a way completely antithetical to the purpose of literature. No one who is interested in the material would rob themself of the experience of reading something like The Faerie Queene (or whatever else) for the first time by looking up summaries and essays beforehand.

Reading early modern literature isn’t about simplifying a master work out into a series of plot points, it’s about the language! If she views literature as a series of plot points and accepted interpretations to learn through rote memory, no wonder why she doesn’t find it interesting.

And it’s not like she’s using AI to complete coursework for a gen ed requirement or something. Or it’s mid-semester and she is forced to cram because she fell behind. She’s using it as her FIRST look at very important texts for a subject SHE CHOSE to pursue a masters in because she’s supposedly passionate about it!

Ruby a few months ago: "I'm NOT a fan of HANRY JYAMES."
Ruby today: "Josst got this HANRY JAYMESSS bock from the loiybree fwore RACKREATIONAL READING."

It's JANUINELY not just because she grabbed shit at random to decorate her room, HOW DAEEEHR YEUUU.

She's also apparently learned nothing from that time Jack Edwards was performatively waving a huge stack of hoarded library books on social media rather than actually reading them and someone just recalled them all so he had to take them back.

Ruby is going to be debating at the oxford union in around a month about whether the rise of influencers is regrettable. Bear in mind that this is not the student union and is not affiliated with the university. Other guests this term include Ben Shapiro and Katie Hopkins so she’s in good company 🤢.

Reuben Sandwich, in her latest video:


Also as of half an hour ago she's addressing her mention of PALEONTOLOGY not PALEOGRAPHY throughout the video because she was just SYO SYO TIRED
Where did she address it?

Edit: found it! Can’t tell if the reply is passive aggressive or not 🤣

Her Dad in the quad (is that what it was called?) was soooo cute. I can't believe she's already making excuses about social stuff though - totally get being introverted, I am too, but the first week of a new course would be a time I'd personally push myself to socialise and make friends, being a bit overwhelmed/tired isn't going to kill her

I am honestly confused as to why she is reading and taking notes on this because Paleontology is the study of ancient life from dinosaurs to prehistoric plants, mammals, fish, insects, fungi and microbes. So, unless I am missing something what has this got to do with her Masters?
It’s ”paleantology” though, so she’s not studying ancient creatures OR old handwriting. Paleantology is actually a portmanteau of pale + anthology, referring to poetry pamphlets self-published by pale Victorian twalve-year-olds.

I definitely think something is up because she's missing out on the opportunity to milk her Oxford "journey" (for lack of a better word) for content that could actually be interesting to some. She could film videos like "What I bought for Oxford", "Pack with me for Oxford", "Moving vlog: Oxford edition" and so on and so forth. Instead, she's filming videos she's already done multiple times and regurgitating old footage like crazy. It makes absolutely no sense at all.

Literally just “go to Oxford”. It’s all she cares about. She doesn’t even like the subject she’s studying.

Love how she makes an iced coffee and takes it upstairs, then cut to the time lapse and she's sipping on a cup of tea. Then goes downstraits to make another cup of tea. In a different mug. And sips water from a different tumbler. So she went downstairs to get a new mug and a new tumbler for...reasons. Then the first mug is back again for a split second angle change. Then a new third mug enters the scene. Then the OG tumbler is back for a little bit before the new one returns for a brief moment as she shows off her 'daily outfit'.

Roobles, girly, you ain't even trying anymore to keep the story straight.

Also, why the F did she include a thirst trap of Daddy Bone's strutting through the field in slow motion?

Why does Ruby always have to tell us that they're about to read? She announces she's going to be reading at every stop. I'm the kind of person who carries a book everywhere I go, but when I see new places/ travel with someone, the last thing I'm going to think when I look at a random bench with a view is 'What a nice bench to read on!'.

People who JANUINELY love reading don't have to remind those around them about it every two minutes.
My favourite part of her vlog was her announcing they were leaving for dinner in 15 minute, so she was going to work on her book before they left.

She will do anything relating to books other than actually reading the bloody things.

(Unless they're aimed at five year olds - but at this point I'm not unconvinced that she doesn't just look at the pictures for outfit ideas.)

Who's her agent? Maybe a connection from Exeter?
No, she's a real agent with a decent, mid-tier agency in London, she's just not an experienced agent. A baby agent, if you will. At this stage in her career she seems to only have solid connections with that one indie publishing house and I'm gonna take a wild guess that they have already passed up on all of Ruby's offering because I'm sure her agent would have offered it to them first.

I don't know if we're allowed to actually say her name. She's not a public figure or influencer, she's just trying to do her job. It's not her fault Ruby is lazy and hopeless. You can find her pretty easily by googling 'ruby granger literary agent' though. Just saying....
---
Actually, I take it back.

Having just checked, it appears that Ruby is no longer being represented by Lucy or any other agent at PDF. Her client profile has been removed from both Lucy's personal page and the agency's overall client list.
