Yeah I feel like if Americans saw nationality/ethnicity like we do in Europe their communities wouldn't be as diverse either lol. Like in my Italian class we had people with Belgian and Czech great-grandparents, it never came up except when we were actually discussing like surname origins or ancestry. My own great-grandmother was Flemish and I had no idea for most of my life because it has zero impact on who I am as a person or what my family is like.
The only time you would actually feel the need to specify someone's nationality is if someone was an actual first generation immigrant. But even then, making a big deal out of it would feel a bit rude, like you're trying to emphasize that they're different and "othering" them.

You're from a "New World" country where people emigrated to, you can't really compare it to Europe.

Also, how do you know the ethic backgrounds of Ruby's friends? Ruby herself has an Irish Grandma so she's at least as diverse as your husband.

I also second all the calls for another video, see what paths we wander down without one!

Could it be the Ruby and Blakeney are just hanging out to enjoy each othercompany for once?



looking good so far….



… and there it is. Of course not. I think it’s undeniable now that they *only* hang out when there’s a sponsor involved.

Also it’s so sneaky how Ruby snuck in the gifted meal right after the unsponsored meals that she GANUINELY HONASTLEE paid for. Also what is her obsession with putting the tag and ‘ad disclosure’ (if you can even call it that) in the tiniest white font? And why did truffle hound get a massive tag and sacred grounds got a tiny one??

Why’s she going to Exeter? 🫤 bit of a trek during a intensive masters degree

This is such a good point! Americans and Canadians tend to identify with their grandparents’ plus identities. We just don’t do that in the UK. In fact it has literally never occurred to me to do that until I read your post! I guess I’m Irish-Finnish lol.

I had the same thought process! I wonder if Blakeney still lives in Exeter or has made the journey for this free trip…

Maybe because she thinks, hopes and prays Blakeney can save her disaster-master for her? Spoonfeed her thoughts, critiques, and words in exchange for free food?

I thought the paintings she wanted to see (over Easter break, isn’t that what she was planning?) were in Paris. France better pony up with a sponsorship if they want Roobevelt to grace them with her presence.

The paintings that she wanted to see are indeed in Paris and she was definitely planning to go over Easter as she spoke about it a couple of months ago, but it doesn't look like she's going now especially when Trinity term starts next Sunday. In fact has she done anything this half term apart from going to Exeter for a gifted trip and spending one night in Oxford it doesn't seem like it.

Ruby would throw her nan down the stairs for a free can of kombucha, so there's no way she'd turn down a free trip somewhere, regardless of how impractical or poorly timed it is. But it's equally likely she wanted a trip to Exeter to drag Blakeney back to the past, so sponsor-begged some hotels for a gifted holiday to sweeten the deal and avoid paying for anything.

She's had her ego stomped on by Oxford and is completely miserable, so a weekend trip so she can REMAMBER THEEE GYUD OWLD DYAYS AT AXATAR UNIVARRSITY WITH HAHHR BASST FRAND BLAKENEEEEEEY probably sounded irresistible. Now she can spend yet another week regressing to a time when she got rewarded and praised for doing no work instead of having to think for herself, getting handed appropriately bad grades and being reminded daily of how she's just an unremarkable student of questionable intelligence.

Wildcard tinfoil hat theory based on nothing at all: She's planning on going back to Exeter to start her theology undergrad degree again to delay the real world for another few years and lower the academic stakes after the ego-crushing experience that Oxford's been for her. She had a meeting/interview, begged a free trip out of a hotel and dragged Blakeney along because her BASST FRAND can't suffer a day of her company without a free holiday/event/gifts to sweeten the deal.

That doesn't seem so far fetched now I think about it.

I think she was at least considering it as an option during her GAP YAHH. She had a spontaneous renewed superficial interest in religion/philosophy (which mainly involved re-reading all her old theology lecture notes) while waiting for an Oxford decision.

A PhD is likely off the table now considering how badly post-grad has gone for her but she'll be desperate to keep a foot in academia because her fake brand/persona is so tied to it. So I think if she goes back to uni, it'll be at a lower level and she knows Exeter will treat her with kid gloves.

She'd no doubt then spin any Oxford failures as the academic system mistreating her along with her heart not being in it because she JANUINELY wanted to study theology all along. "OIY SHUD HAFF TROSSTED MOIY GOT!" Then it'll be 3 years of comparitively low-stakes essays she can cannibalise from online sources while churning out more vlogs of her staring at her screen pretending to be exceedingly busy, with no pressure to get a job or grow up.

It honestly wouldn't surprise me if she does goes back to Exeter to do her theology undergraduate degree.

finally she blesses us


edit: ”I should make a pouch.” NO YOU SHOULDN’T. What is her obsession with pouches?
edit 2: oh god she’s trying to do ”quirky” and I’m so embarrassed for her 🫣

She’s sprinkling birdseed on tables, that’ll be fun when the birds shit all over everything. God she’s such an idiot She also shared another poem with something about “noses puckering” at the smell of apples, that sounds like some next-level toxic waste gardening but then what else is new

She appears to have lost her mind slightly.
Realistically, she had a sponsor video due and she’s not feeling like talking about her degree, which pretty much tells you all you need to know. She’s escaping.
