Ruby Granger #44 To be or not to be pretentious, that is the subjective question.

[gossip_guy]

She seems to be getting even worse with the 'I'll just film in communal areas without the consent or knowledge of the uni staff or the people around me' tit.

She very lazily blurred one small shot of people in the background during her AWKSFWUD uni dinner (she just slapped a static blurred box over them, so you can still see their faces when the camera moves), after 20 minutes of unchecked, entitled filming of other people in libraries and cafés, so I can only assume someone at the table noticed the camera and said something.

 

[for_a_life_i_choose]

Sorry did she carry macbook AND ipad pro to the library at the same time?? Especially the ipad pro with a keyboard?? Sorry Why not carry the iMac to the library like she did when went back home???

 

[gossip_guy]

Ruby's taking her embarrassing obsession with only ever showing herself reaching for high shelves in a desperate effort to look like a precocious child to a dangerous new level: She's started to add more climbing apparatus to the equation.

She also claims she's "had a paper accepted to speak at a conference". The last "conference" she was part of was the 'Empowered By Vee' vanity event where her managers made sure half of Sixteenth's creators got to give their own fake TED Talk to an audience of mostly Sixteenth employees and creators to boost their egos.

So either she's making tit up/wildly embellishing things again or she learned absolutely nothing from every disastrous public speaking event she's ever taken part in.

I'd bet a VARRY VEEGAN CROISSANT that Patricia works at the restaurant and either reached out to Ruby to offer a gifted meal or, being the leeches that they are, Ruby and Jade looked at places to have lunch that week and reached out to the restaurant to beg for a gifted meal in exchange for advertising the place (hence the suspicious mention of emailing the management the day before).

If an actual member of the public/a viewer actually gifted these grifters an £80 lunch when Ruby has a few hundred grand sitting in the bank, they need help.

100%! It's an undisclosed PR gift, there's absolutely no doubt about it. The only people who'd believe Ruby would be kids.

Our girl likes to have options. A common place notebook, a common notebook, a plain notebook, an ipad pro, a macbook, and other knickknacks such as a typewriter in the Bodleian (she's peculiar).

I can't complain, I hope she continues. Her hot mess speeches give me an unpleasant joy. I am experiencing both awe for her self confidence and crushing second hand embarrassment from her lack of self awareness. Stimulating combination.

 

[Sibyl Vane]

so apparently one of the things Rumbster and Jade (I know her only through Rumbster and you guys) have been talking about a lot is "what it means to live a good life". Ummm, maybe don't be a pretentious and greedy bully who can't say the truth to say your life??? dunno, thought that could be a good place to start. Also, remember your sister's existence at least once in a while?

From her latest tiktok. This is Rumbster at a seminar. Genuinely.

I mean, I'm sorry but she totally reads here and loves all the collages of hers we've been creating (well, not me, but actually talented people on this thread) and she now posts photos just for us. This one is totally taking the p*ss after everything we've said.

I bet she scrolls down looking for pictures of herself and gawking with shiny eyes at all your "lovely" <--sarcasm username pics with her face.

My boyfriend had a paper accepted to a conference. He's heading off to Canada for it in a bit over a week. I say this because preparing that paper for that conference (despite it being an adaptation of his masters dissertation AND having already been presented at a workshop AND having a full time academic helping him prepare it) consumed almost all his free time for a period of a month or two.

I didn't even know Ruby was putting out papers to conferences. Has she mentioned it? She never mentioned adapting her bachelor's dissertation, right, so presumably it's "fresh" material. I highly doubt this is an actual academic conference. Unless standards in the humanities really are that dire.

I'm imagining the death stares from the doctoral candidates in the bod while she types away at her typewriter in there.

Spoiler: slightly irrelevant

Has anyone watched a discovery of witches? There's a few scenes of the main character talking to another in the Bod and it's really unrealistic because none of the dPhil students are glaring at her. Also the whole thing with her on Christchurch meadow after dark and the vampire guy coming across the Isis from Univ boathouse. Like, he crossed running water at least once, probably 3 times if he did the shortest dry land route from where he was to where she was, is he not a vampire? I reckon Ruby would like the programme though. VERY Dark Academia.

If she did, that would explain her constant moving from one place to another

WTF is sleaze academia? I'm definitely getting too old for all these different trends, I can't keep up! I think I might just stick to my own "60s-70s-hippie-core" aesthetic. Which I just made up. That's the beauty of getting older: you tend to care much less about what other people think!

Lmao when she nearly got spasms thanking for being hosted by that place. Pathetic it’s 100% clear she got invited by that place. Just say it ffs why would you make a total idiot out of yourself just to try to hide the obvious ad. It’s not worth it.

It might be just a postgrad conference she's speaking at, although those can be very competitive as well. If it's her first ever academic conference that would be a good place to start because she'd be with other postgrads in a supportive environment. It's also an amazing thing for her CV, so if she wants to work in academia or museums I'm not surprised she's trying to get papers accepted.

 

[whateverandanything]

OT: I read the "Schuld und Sühne" translation by Josef Hoffmann and liked it, but I have other Dostojewski books in translations by Svetlana Geier, as far as I am aware she translates the title as "Verbrechen und Strafe". It´s the same case with "Die Dämonen"/"Böse Geister"/"Die Bessessenen", same book, different translation of the title. I don´t speak Russian and I´m not an expert in any way, but apparently the original russian can´t be translated exactly into German in those cases. In the case of "Schuld und Sühne" the title is way too morally connotated, whilst the original russian title uses the legal terminology. "Verbrechen und Strafe" on the other hand, which is the german legal terminology, lacks a certain ethical weight which the russian terminology does contain. So I think there´s no right or wrong answer. I personally prefer the title "Schuld und Sühne". All in all a really fascinating topic imo

It totally is. I speak no Russian as well, but I find it so interesting that they changed the to some extent iconic German titel. Out of curiosity I just googled the translator and there’s a documentary featuring her. So I know what I’m going to watch tonight.

She's mentioned submitting essays and pieces of writing a few times but been purposefully vague about what she's submitting, where and why. Most of it's amounted to her tossing her bad seagull poems in every direction and hoping someone will publish one or it'll win a competition (naturally, nobody touched any of her poems or fiction with a bargepole).

She bragged that she got an "ACADAMMICK ASSAYYY POBBLISHED" a while back, but luck and low standards seemed to have been her friends there, too:

https://english.umd.edu/research-in...ing-2022/heaven-what-i-cannot-reach-how-emily

Every piece of academic writing she shares is the same brand of godawful mess, with a few borrowed, disconnected ideas and a bunch of Googled quotes lazily stitched together in one babbling essay with no regard for coherence or a clear through line. I can't see whatever this conference paper is being any different.

Ruby being Ruby, this'll no doubt be a wildly embellished minor vanity event of some kind, like Oxford's 3rd worst hotel agreed to let her use their karaoke mic to read out her essay to whatever guests might be milling around the bar area between the hours of 11am and noon.

Out of her last 10 videos, 9 have been sponsored (I’m not counting the undeclared ads lol). Theory: her channel has temporarily risen out of its stagnation with the Oxford content, so she’s been offered more sponsorships, which she can’t turn down because she’s a grabby greedy little girl, and her management is probably also eager to make some money on her after having to trash a lot of Punky Puddington planners. Hence getting up at 5 every morning, or at least once in a while, because yeecheeb is now a job.

Hello, l’ve just discovered your thread which I’ve read with interest. I’ve watched some of Ruby’s vlogs and don’t know what to make of her. I discovered her when she made a vlog on Venice. She seemed to be there alone. As an art historian with a specialist interest in 18-C Venice I dm’ed Ruby with information and photographs and she did not respond, not even a thank you. I’m not sure that she’s as sweet and charming as she makes out. She also appears to be a bit of a loner. Does she hang out with many friends in ‘the city of dreaming spires’?
