Ruby Granger #45 "Um" -- Ruby Granger, 2023

[MavisBeacon]

I agree - i think she's having some hard contact with reality. Actual academic life is hard - you have to be original and creative to succeed rather than just learn and regurgitate stuff like school or even uni. Also I imagine she's coming into contact with genuinely smart and fiercely ambitious people at Oxford, which can't be good for her self confidence. I feel sorry for her, to be honest.

Hilarious of Ruby to criticise people for calling themselves 'bad' writers as it's "meritocratic" (?? surely this isn't correct vocab to use here). Ruby, they're just being modest for the most part, it's not a grand statement of their writing talents. The real issue is people thinking they're the next Dickens etc when their writing is at the level of a precocious primary school student...

Just looking at her birthday pictures on instagram and my God, that house is so dirty. Like actually encrusted in filth. All the walked through dust on the floor. The pot rimmed with old food. That couch that Clarice is sitting on looks like a dirty deballed scrotum. Why are the pillows so flat? Why are is the cabinet hanging open? Why are all the potted plants dead and infested with weeds? And, per usual, I see that Clarice has fixed herself up a little drinky drink.

How much do you want to bet those balloons will still be there the next time she shows us the PaLoUr?

Exactly!! Everyone thinks there's some secret story or meaning, when most the time it's cases like this! Like lets actually focus on the main discussion as now it just feels like speculation about a non existent relationship... a waste of time. Like who cares if she's in a relationship or not. It's not our business or care whatsoever!
Edit for spelling

I think you might be on the wrong forum. Are you aware of what the meaning of the word tattle is?

 

[Whisper2Me]

Spinning, Sponsored and Senseless <~~New video, new thread title...

That sums up my reaction to her latest, brainless vlog.

 

[irunforfun]

If only she had heard of the phrase “I’m sorry I got it wrong” or “I’m sorry I lied” or “many people know a lot more than me and I’m not above them all”

 

[Satisfying Click]

I know that Ruby is trying to push a Manic Pixie Cottagecore Girl trope, but this was really uncomfortable to watch.

She's back in her happy place, the childhood home, twirling in the garden, eating odd food concoctions and escaping the reality of being an adult in her twenties.

I think Ruby really underestimated the reality of Oxford, and I agree with others that I wouldn't be surprised if she reverted to Exeter, she needs to feel like a big fish in a small pond.

Damn. For such an “aesthetic girlie” she really does have neglected hands…

I’m quite surprised to see she even wears nail polish. It’s not very 19th century.

Looks like primroses and rosemary that have been sugared. Perfectly safe to eat, although probably not advisable in a garden that has dogs in it …

Flavoured with a sprinkle of eau de Lola

I love how her pretentiousness *almost* passes for something genuine, but then you’re hit with ”Nabakov” and realise it’s probably just another Goodreads quote she saw and decided to run with because it fits whatever flimsy narrative she’s trying to build.

Let’s all take a moment to reflackt on Roobee’s 8 months’ worth of lift selfies and running from coffee shop to loibry to coffee shop and how that apparently counts as stoddying for her, and shed a tear or two of premonitory loss.

My favorite part of this video was her saying she was sad to leave the garden/home because she was going to Oxford that day, and then showing the next day (if she's not lying about the time sequence, which is doubtful, but how many lies can you wrap yourself up in?) still at Bones Manor, and then also showing that evening, after dinner and her shower, obviously staying for yet another night. If it is true that she was meant to go home that first night, it's a clear indication that she is not happy at AXEFUD and wants to stay home longer. But if it's not true, it just goes to show that she's a giant liar and smudges her timelines (which is also not surprising and something WE know, but you'd think her avid watchers would have caught on by now). Either way, I don't know how she has an active audience to whom she constantly lies to. I will never trust her yapping and holier-than-thou lectures about anything she does, or anything she claims to know. Another insufferable watch. Thanks, Ruby, for nothing.

But she seems miserable in Oxford... Is she really signing up for more?

Anyone seen this TikTok where she claims she’s never liked talking about the weather () but discovered yesterday that people use it as small talk?

View attachment 2914090

Also, another comment points out that this week’s Oxford magazine has an article on this very thing. This girl has never had an original thought it her life.

Unbelievable… her post TODAY! her entire personality is the weather but apparently she only started talking about it yesterday…

 

[Griftwood]

I dont think she's having a mental breakdown, I honestly think she's just tried to make a quirky, eccentric video. She even said at the end that she knows the video is different to her usual style of content and that she was trying to be a bit nonsensical in it. Maybe she's trying to get out of a youtube slump or maybe she's trying something different to see if it motivates her to upload again. It's just my opinion but I think people are reading too far into it and this video is not a reflection of her mental state. Of course, I could be totally wrong and she's finally gone batshit crazy! Time will tell.

Side note, why does she keep blurring and unblurring the bird seed?

I agree, I mean she lies and pretends all the time so it's unlikely this video is the singular true representation of her innermost soul I agree that she's probably trying to post something, anything (to fulfill sponsorship obligations) and while this may be the result of poor mental health (I honestly think she must not be getting the grades she thinks she deserves at Oxford, otherwise she'd be crowing about her grades all over the place), to me it feels more like "I don't want to talk about my studies or writing because things aren't going well" and/or she's casting around for something new to substitute for a personality since "VARRY INTALLIGENT AWKSFUD SCHOLAR" isn't happening. She's trying for random and quirky, with a side of ED baiting.

 

[StatusWoe]

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:

Ruby Granger: The Musical

Highlights include
''Got to pick a pocket or TYOO'''
''Who will buy my wonderful planners?''

 

[Griftwood]

Well she's officially finished Oxford now as she submitted her dissertation this morning.

I wonder when we’re getting the customary twirling-around-in-the-fields set to ”Good Morning Baltimore”. No lesser level of cringe will do.

 

[Alix]

She can't be serious with just another almond cake, can't she.. poor Marta.


Anyway, YouTube recommended this video to me and I couldn't stop thinking about Ruby's videos while watching it- and if course about our resident detective Gossip guy who spots all her lies all the time

 

[Griftwood]

Hello, I'm back. Rumbster posted a new video to mark the day, and she immediately fucked up lol

She says she usually wakes up at 6, sometimes earlier if she has lots of things to do. So here she is, out of bed, ready to wash her face.

It's 07:53

hdu maybe it just takes her a really long time to poop!

 

[yeya]

what are your predictions she is gonna do in the future, after she graduates from Oxford?

I could actually picture her working in a bookshop, archive or library but I think you might need extra qualifications to be an archivist. I could also picture her working in a museum maybe. Not saying she’d be good at any of these or that she’d last long but I think those are the kind of jobs she probably pictures herself going into so if she pursued any kind of actual job I reckon it would be that. But yeah definitely not a traditional 9-5 office job.

Oxford: expectation vs reality

Spoiler: TW food/ED talk

Her “lunch” is even worse - her cucumber sandwich is a single slice of white bread cut in half, and then she has another slice with some whipped cream from a can, a sliced strawberry, and the world’s saddest cupcake, again with whipped “cream” because “I don’t like icing sugar.” She’s really veering back into the blatant ED baiting, and while she may just be looking for attention with this nonsense, I also have no trouble believing she has some sort of a problem with eating, because only a starved brain would choose three different carbohydrate-based elements and call it a meal after having had pure carbs for breakfast as well.

Spoiler

It's also a lot of sugar. Ruby doesn't show much savoury food. It's always donuts, vegan snack bars, cupcakes, croissants, sweet pastries, fruit porridge, cakes and whatever else I'm forgetting to list. I'm not judging - I like sweet foods too - but it's just noticeable.
