That's what I was wondering it was really odd especially when there was nothing on it to censor. I have to say though I found the whole video very weird as a number of things felt off.

im assuming the price label may have had the name of the shop/garden centre on it so she’s probably just trying to hide where she lives (even though most people know anyway)

“As we all know birds love tea parties so I thought I’d go outside and have some tea” why’s she acting like a baby?!

I dont even know where to begin with the new video.. I think what makes me most aggressive is her obsession with statements like "The best of the world" "it is a rule" "always". It's literally stuff small children (and i mean kindergarden age) are saying.
Also this extreme forced quirkyness.. What can't she just comment her shitty stuff normally. Just say "I thought blue oatmeal would be fun", no, she says "everything is better when its blue, its a rule". Wtf???

This video is a new peak of weird from her, I'm starting to be genuinely concerned (more than usual) that she has completly lost it. Can't believe her mother is filming this stuff all the time without questioning anything. Also can't believe this video was sponsored.

edit: also the way she has pretended to use her typewriter for actualy writing for ages and doesn't even know how to use it. She could have just googled it, im sure there are even tutorials on youtube..

I don't think it was her mother filming this stuff it was her mums sister. Another reason why I think it was her mums sister is that the voice was different to her mothers.

I felt like she was trying to say nonsense things in an Alice in wonderland style…but she just came across as weird. And not weird in a quirky way, just weird as in a weird way.

It’s exactly how the most unlikable and annoying main character in a YA book would speak.

I started watching her vid thinking "oh this will be a nice thing to listen to as i tidy" (because that is how I usually listen to Ruby's dross). Things it reminded me of :
- a "don't hug me I'm scared" video
- something I would have made as a 12 year old to show how quirky I am
- some of the vivid nightmares I have
- the tupperware that I left in the fridge for too long = blue porridge with carrots

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 🫣

ah, she's back with a sponsored video.

Edit:

wow this is uncomfortable...

sorry but the carrots/porridge combination is insane. People don't make blue porridge, Ruby, because they don't want to feel queasy.

Why are teacups 'sensitive'? Beacause their handles fall off? wwhhhhhhhat is she on about?

She's eating her porridge out of a tea cup with a wooden stirring spoon.

A person without a to do list is like a person without a rainhat?! errrrrrrr okay?!

She's talking far too much about birdseed.... and now she'd putting some in a cloth pouch....what?!

And she's put her food on the ground and is eating it under the treehouse.

And then squashes flowers in the middle the book she is currently reading...

Something is not right here.

Could it be Martha? She's been doing more of Ruby's social media stuff.

I think it's what @noodlehead1 said about Alice in Wonderland. She's aiming for quirky but doesn't get the tone right, so it just comes across as weird. Someone else mentioned that the video was made on April Fools, which could also explain the strangeness.

Agree with your comment though. That treehouse picnic looked grim - so uncomfortable and muddy! Also couldn't bring myself to care about the BARDseed at any point during the video.

And whhyyy is she still having problems replying to a single email?

Ruby: ''Maybe I should make a pouch'' Maybe you should answer your email.

It seemed as if she was trying to do a bit of Wes Anderson in that video combined with Lewis Carroll's nonsense poetry. She seemed not like herself and almost rather manic in that video or as if something was no quite right. I am not sure if it was the blue porridge and carrot or having a bird tea party.

I, like Ruby, always dreamt of being a writer. However, then, unlike Ruby, I realised I’m not a writer, I just love the idea of writing a novel and accepted and did something else.

when (if?!) will she realise that having lovely, soft focus, sun hazed montage of images of writing, whilst sitting in old libraries, river side benches or skanky old, freezing cold bedrooms doesn't actually mean you’re a writer. You can’t just manifest creativity if you don’t have the natural skills.

Apologies if the above doesn’t make sense - I’m tanked up on gin and, most importantly, I’m not a good writer

"It wasn't syopposed tyo rain today," Ruby says ominously.

My dude, you're in England and it's April. Y'know, the month of "April showers"?



"Can you hear the baahrds?" Ruby asks, awkwardly pointing her claw at the sky.

She's added pre-recorded birdsong noises onto the video again and cranked the volume of the audio layer so high that it's louder than her narration. People will find it impossible not to hear the baaaaaahrds. They may struggle to hear anything else, though, like whatever faux-whimsical nonsense Ruby's muttering about next to her desolate back yard crack den.



"It's quoyte a strange remoinda that you've ackshually been away from hyome for quoyte a whoile whan yeu comm back and awl your candles are dossty."

This is the same room that's covered in dust and dirt when she lives there, so I'm not sure how this is any different to what she usually finds in there.

Speaking of dirt and grime...



Ruby shows off her filthtastic kitchen and the gifted coffee machine that they clean once every two years. Look closely and you can see that there's a long hair hanging off the spout/nozzle and draping underneath, so everyone's coffee can pick up some unwanted hair follicle additives. Something something JARMAPHYOBE something something PARFACKSHONIST.



She rambles about TYEU-DYEU LISTS while advertising the planner she never actually uses. As always, she shows one that's suspiciously pristine and has no other pages filled out. She just grabbed this from a leftover pile of unsold stock to advertise a defunct planner. Meanwhile she still has yet to even pretend she uses the new scam planner that's actually on sale.

Ruby moans about how responding to one email is a daunting task which is stressing her out and she's been avoiding it for days.

She then reveals that the email was to her agent, presumably about the book that is/was out on submission to publishers (her latest in a long line of "debut" novels never to actually debut). It suddenly makes sense why she's avoiding it; her latest literary mess is no doubt going about as well as her degree.

I'm sure her agent will be overjoyed to see that Ruby left her on 'read' for days to go twirl in her garden harassing birds and eating sugar sandwiches.

Unsurprisingly, Ruby offers zero actual details about her book or what's going on with it (since that might verge on interesting content and we simply can't have that). Instead, we're treated to yet another bad AMMILEEE DICKINSON rip-off poem about birds and the weather in her back yard:



"Efferescent," Ruby writes and reads aloud. Add "effervescent" to the endless list of words she can't spell or pronounce and doesn't know the meaning of. Ironically, "thesaurus" is listed as a daily task on her planner.



Ruby makes a big production of going on a walk, forcing her sister/employee Martha to act as camera operator. She's pretending this day's just getting started, yet shows that it's 16:49.

After rambling incoherently about all the time-wasting activities in this seemingly 85 hour day, Ruby returns home and has somehow been hurled back in time to 1pm:



Oh no!

She brags that she got a VEEEGAN QWASSAUNT from a local cafe, moments after showing herself trying to load her leather backpack with random crap and before returning home to kick off her leather shoes. SYO VEEGAN!

I don't think it's a coincidence that this VARRY QUARRKEEEE video was haphazardly slapped together shortly after she got the chance to meet Daniel Handler (one of her MYOST FAVORAT WROYTAHS who she eagerly tried to blatantly rip off in one of her many rejected 'debut' novels, yet couldn't seem to remember the name of). She was desperately trying to imitate LAMMONEE SNICKETT and nonsense poetry back when she was writing her "varry acksparamantal" book 'Penelope Peppermint and the Silver-Tipped Octopus' (which her agent rejected on the spot). Apparently she's back in that mindset.

Unfortunately, Ruby has no sense of humour, much less an effective one, so her attempts at QUARRRKEEEEE COMMEDEEEEEEEY just come off as weird and forced. And she's tacked that onto what was clearly intended to be a normal vlog full off all the usual pretend busywork, phony affectations and fake timescales, so she veers from her stilted performance as she desperately attempt humour, her usual fake "sincere" vlog voice and moments where the mask totally slips and her fake accent vanishes when she's talking to Martha. It's a total mess and a tonal disaster, and that's before the terrible audio levels.

I'm not sure offering up a mental breakdown with a side order of ED habits caught on video during a content drought is going to convince everyone that you're thriving at Oxford, Ruby.

Watching the new video, I have a suspicion that Ruby has dicovered Liziqi (or another Liziqi-inspired youtuber) and has decided to suck her style up into her frankenstein personality. But of course, Ruby's life is just a purgatory of middle-class boredom, and Ruby herself being as lazy and uncreative as a sow, so it just doesn't hit the same.

Also, her monologues are giving major chatbot vibes. I'm willing to bet that's because she used a chatbot to write them.

Most likely, considering the garden centre in question is literally the next property door to her house.

Also, around the 7:40 mark, the camera pans up from it's position on the grass as Ruby walks away. Does that mean Clarice is laying on the wet ground filming Ruby?

Back when things were really bad with my eating disorder I would put mortifying stuff online, thinking I was the deepest and quirkiest person alive. I was neither. I just had a starved brain. Maaajor second hand embarrassment watching this one and I do hope Ruby still has a therapist, as it’s clear she’s not doing well since being at Oxford. I can only imagine the miserable food she’s having off camera in that dorm room, if the ones she films are the presentable ones

It baffles me how Ruby obviously has major mental health issues, was in the position to take a year off from anything and apparently didnt do much to work on her mental health. Then the next thing she does is do a degree at Oxford which is sure to be stressful and totally break her mental health again. It's so weird, she could easily afford to take the time off she needs and make sure she is in a good mental position to continue.
A friend of mine also had major mental health issues, but she took a year to have therapy and absolutly work on them, then started a part-time job that was not too demanding. She surely was overqualified for that job but she was up to it mental health wise. Now after two years working that job she is in such a stable position and actually looking for demanding jobs. Ofc you have to be in the right financial position to take you time like that, but Ruby clearly is. Why is she doing fuck all / regressing even more in her year off and then hurling herself at the next project guaranteed to break her. I just don't get it... I guess it's just easier to do whatever bs she is doing at the moment instead of actually putting the energy in and taking care of your problems..

This video is completely exposing her illusion. She did not realize that she is completely unhappy and depressed. Go find some help,girl!!!you weirdo!!!

With all the birdseed mentions I did wonder if she would break out into song like the "Feeeeeed the birrrrrrrds, tuppence a bag" lady from Mary Poppins:
