The most stupid thing is that no one would even super judge her for what she’s wearing (still acknowledging she dresses worse than my 80 yo grandma) if she wasn’t insisting specifically on ootd posts over and over. Like Ruby I promise you no one cares about your ootd, no one wants to dress like you. Similarly with showing us your disgusting meals - it’s not appetizing, it’s not inspirational, fuck off.

That grimace tells you everything you need to know she is not happy to be back at Oxford.

I wonder if her parents are ok with her living at home so that they can keep an eye on her in regards to her mh?

This outfit is giving me the impression of a precocious younger sister of the glamourous elder sister protagonist, in a period drama/murder mystery. The one noone thinks would hurt a fly because she's bookish and eccentric, but ends up being a serial axe-wielding murderer and tries to run away with the hot beau

So what I was going to comment was that I fully doubt a red kite was trying to nick her sandwiches (what does a bird of prey want with white bread and fruit?) but that has sent me down a fascinating rabbit hole that they do, in fact, sometimes do that. Love red kites, me. Great birds. Almost as good as Marsh Harriers, but far easier to identify.

The bird watcher in me is laughing a bit at Ruby's crusade to attract bird life. Do you know how long it took me to get a little Robin Redbreast to sit with me and pull on my coat at lunch in the Inner Temple gardens? Months. Months of wearing the same coat and sitting on the same bench (they can't do faces, not what like pigeons and corvids can, but they can identify coats and such), dropping seeds from my lunch and trying to avoid wheat crumbs because they aren't good for them.

And that's with British robins being very acclimatised to humans. Sparrows? You're joking, right? They're not Starlings, luv.

My biggest piece of advice is Mealworms or Calciworms (if you get hedgehogs in your area, Mealworms are bad for them). Birds go nuts for them. Not VEEEGAN, but sure now neither are robins.

Anyway, I think she's probably just trying to inject some life back into her content, and probably try and find some joy in it again. If she ever had a motive besides external validation, she's definitely lost that thread, and now the external validation is drying up (due to her getting knocked for six academically) she has to find some way to make content creation less of a chore.

But if she doesn't wear chunky black shoes, how else will she look like a child wearing their school shoes?

Has she ever said in the last year that’s she actually been happy at Oxford? Seems strange it’s just feels like a tick box for her

I don't think she has. She hasn't said anything about how she's getting on. It's always the same inane and childish nonsense with no substance and fook knows what that last vlog was. She looked like she was dancing towards a mental health crisis. I finally watched and was actually wondering if she's ok at the moment.

Considering she cried so much over not getting in for undergraduate, it's a shame she's not enjoying it now she is in.

She insisted early on that she was "JANUINELY" having the best time and "HONNASTLEE" loving it, all while looking hopelessly miserable every second there. Any time she adds the word "JANUINELY" or "HONNASTLEEE", it's a given that she's lying.

Yeah but if I remember well, it was like in the first video of her moving.

I see we’re trying to make ourselves feel better by buying unnecessarily expensive editions of books we’ll never read



the cheapest I could find it was over 60 € but sure, boo hoo about how £15 is sOoOoOo expensive for a book

edit: I’m by no means judging anyone for splurging on books, I’ve done my fair share, but Roobee 1) will grift anything and everything to avoid spending any of her own money and 2) never fails to mention how expensive something is when it suits her just to seem relatable, and this just shows how she can easily spend money whenever she feels like it.

If it's been on her wish list for the last 9 months then why has she only just got it now and what does this book have to do with her degree now as I swear the only thing she will be working on this term is her dissertation and therefore it would have been more appropriate to buy it during 1st or 2nd term when she was working on her other modules. By the way I have just been looking at the Amazon reviews for this book and it sounds like from the comments she has been ripped off as a number of people weren't happy with it. Here are some of the comments:
Very poor edition, as you can see Christopher Marlowe's name isn't even spelt correctly on the cover. It's extremely thin, no accompanying footnotes or introduction/background to the text. If, for example you're a student and all you're looking for is the text to highlight and scribble on then this is will be a good buy, other than that it's not going to make a great addition to your bookshelf.

Do not buy this. It is poorly type set, and appears to be a copy and paste from Gutenberg. Very expensive for what it is. Better to spend an extra pound and get a proper copy. It's a rip off.

Print quality is not good at all

won’t matter to her, she’s not going to actually read and use it, it’s just a prop for insta pics realistically

I don't believe for one minute she's going to read it or use it, I mean I would be very interested to know how many books she has actually read off her bookshelf at home.

I own this book lol and think it's a lovely version.

I'm not sure what people are complaining about in those reviews. Marlowe's Faustus isn't a long play. Gothes version is but Marlowe's really isn't. Also re the spelling of his name. That's his signature lol. Besides that though he couldn't spell for shit and neither could Shakespeare, they made it up as they went along (that's why you have so many new words from them and why old Shaky spelt his own name 17 different ways and others spelled it 80 different ways!) and understandable considering modern English wasn't properly standardised until after they were both long dead so yeah his signature on the front might look a bit weird and like it's spelled wrong but that's just him. Also it's a collectors edition, you don't need notes and you certainly don't buy these to scribble in! EEK!

Do I think she'll read it? Well that's a different matter entirely, but the book itself is fine.

The thing is Ruby is well known for writing in her books because last year she decided to write in a book that she was giving to Blakeney for Christmas for no reason whatsoever and she is also well known for ruining books. An example of this was that she had this book and then decided to paint over the front cover because she didn't like it and this is how it ended up.

Well yeah she's an idiot but my point is that the people in those reviews aren't far off.

And she might very well ruin her Folio Society version by scribbling in it but that doesn't make the edition a bad one.
