You mean the OPRAH, right?

Ruby, girlypop, are you okay? You didn't even change outfits once in this video!
Ye gods what an uncomfortable watch. I know she probably meant it as a joke, but the funniest thing in there was Martha thinking the birdseed was for herself.

 

[Ilaariaa]

I suddenly remembered her Youtube career started with riveting videos like "How to act like Hermione on a plane"
Are those still available on her channel or has she scrubbed them in shame?

That's pretty normal. For class trips in school we would share a hotel room with 2 queens and it was 2 people to a bed. We got to pick roommates, but they had to be of the same gender. If you didn't have enough friends going on the trip you ended up sharing a queen with a random person of the same gender, but it wasn't a big deal because it was high school, so usually you knew the person, just not very well.

Why is everyone replying to me equating sharing a bed when the room is at reasonable sleeping capacity with sleeping in the same bed in a room with the capacity for at least 4 people? This is very odd indeed. Very peculiar. Very very absurd, almost.

Can everyone planning to quote me on this take 5 seconds to think "is the scenario I am describing from my life actually relevant, or am I again talking about an instance where the room is at capacity and bed sharing is necessitated?"

Sharing a bed in a room where you have the capacity to not do so is very intimate and close. Not necessarily sexually, but I think it is good evidence that Ruby and Blakeney are actually very close friends. People here accuse Blakeney of only showing up when it's a gifted thing, but unless you are accusing Ruby of being actually physically coercive, so Blakeney has been forced to share a bed with her, then its clear they are actually friends.

I always get the impression that they are squatters in that house. The way they are so messy, negligent, careless with both the interior and exterior part that they "rent" or "own" or whatever it is. You can tell they really don't belong there and haven't the slightest idea how to be fashionable or even take pride in how they represent themselves, their home and their belongings. They literally come across as tramps that snuck into the house, squatted and just hoard things or stash piles of stuff in corners and let them rot. I would be ashamed to have anyone come over to my home if it looked like this. I can't even imagine what it might smell like.

I always get the feeling that the house would smell of damp and dog for some reason, but I think that it is the fact that the house is usually cold according to Ruby and they have the aga for heating, which would make the smell worse. I also do wonder if they bother heating the house as it would be expensive.

I would be curious if they treated their last home the same as they do with this one. I do wonder if they are messy and just scruffy as they are lazy but it is almost an overcompensation for being posh and having a certain amount of money, in a champagne socialist way. I think that it could also be them not valuing things that much as they have the money and they can just replace what is damaged. It is such a nice house they do have if it had a good tidy! The garden especially as it looks like a right tip!

The outfit...I'm speechless
View attachment 2882701

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

 

[Griftwood]

Low-and-behold [sic lol], it ships only within the UK. I was fully prepared to throw money at her take one for the team, but I guess not.

 

[tartandog86]

All must rejoice. No tights with the outfit today. Ruby’s a new woman. View attachment 2858830

80% of the time her outfits are misses. I was trying to find some of her spring/summer outfits that I liked and it took me ages.

She has so many clothes - they must be taking up ridiculous amounts of space in Bones Manor. Who needs that many outfits?

 

[Officedoor123]

I feel like she's smiling so hard/grimacing so that we can all appreciate her dimple.

Im happy to start crowdfunding for a fucking hair cut for this woman.

 

[Whisper2Me]

I can't believe she's attended a black tie ball in that awful green dress...

View attachment 3011181

I honestly do not understand her at all. She has plenty of money. She obviously isn't nearly as classy as she would like to make herself out to be. Anyone easily knows how to dress properly for a formal black tie event. Yet she dressed up in some bizarre puke green dress that doesn't even look proper for a garden party, let alone an evening black tie ball. omg How dense can you get? I dress nicer than this for church! And still, the long, unstyled hair, just flapping around aimlessly. She looks like a slob.

Wait. Is she freaking wearing an antler headband? omg Time to resort back to our dress-up playdates. So much for maturity.

Hey gang I logged back into Tattle after I rage quit the forums finding out this moron got accepted into Oxford. Someone give me the lowdown on what's going on in the world of Rutabaga? Apart from pissy Easter cakes, of course.

Oh goody, another ”slightly absurd” vlog. The official sponsor is Wild, but I’m about 5 minutes in and so far there have been cameos by Crosstown and Ramadee Kombyoocha.

Not to mention an extended undeclared ad/gift-begging segment for POSHKIN PRASS, who've gifted her books before.

Just 20 minutes of undeclared ads, fake affectations and ED habits. The only genuinely funny bit of "OBSAAAHRD" nonsense was completely unintentional: Her freckles magically appearing again after she slaps some face cream on.

I also wasn’t sure why the ROH had decided to comp her seats (Row V of the stalls is £162 for the same opera next week) I suppose if they’re trying to get younger people interested she has a lot of followers. It’s a shame she just parroted a load of bollocks having googled ‘pretentious things to say about the opera’ rather than giving helpful information, such as how to get cheaper tickets for young people or cheap tickets available for everyone (standing, restricted view tickets start at £8), or even how welcoming they are there - there’s no dress code and staff are incredibly friendly and helpful etc - or the fact that for all non-English operas there are surtitles so you don’t have to be able to speak the language (something I was worried about on my first visit) which can be seen from almost all the seats - they‘ll tell you before you book if they can’t be seen. She could have given such a wealth of information that might have actually encouraged younger people to visit. Instead we get prancing up stairs and pretentious sh!te that you can barely hear because she filmed it in one of the noisiest parts of the opera house with no microphone.

So true. It is a gorgeous venue but she could have shared much more than constant motion sickness triggering shots and The Claw, reciting stuff from the booklet. It was probably the bare minimum of what she needed to tell and she just spiced with a bunch of word salad adjectives. As long as she loves TRAJJUDHEY over comic operas, it's okay.

It must be exhausting to be her, imagine constantly memorising lines just to exist in the role you wrote for yourself.

I’m usually not a me-railer but I do think these comparisons are valid to how Ruby sees herself- my Ruby sister seriously can’t cope that she’s not universally adored and seen as the best outside our family. I reckon that’s affected Ruby. As a Marfa I know there will be lots of hush hush discussions about look at your grades Ruby, you’re so much better than Marfa… being a perfect child and forgetting about her life experiences to the contrary comforts Ruby
---
The Marfas to the Rubys aren’t usually even bad kids anyway but the families tell them they’re sooo bad compared to the Ruby so they just can’t be bothered, which shows as a rebellion
---
If you’re the type to watch Ruby Granger Wallis I doubt you’re a bad kid beyond redemption, that’s what I mean

I'm just personally amazed at how many times Clarice has been caught on camera scolding Marfa. Because it's not like Ruby posts hours upon hours of footage from her day to day life, it's at most 30 second snippets sliced together to make a video. Which leads me to believe that Ruby used to actively select these sections of the video to post. So I don't actually know if Claire is actually horrible to Marfa or if Rooble's just gets some sick, sadistic pleasure from publically displaying her sister getting into trouble.

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.

I work in an archives and Ruby would love processing - most things come in dusty and haven’t been touched/cared for in ages (kind of like her windowsill, or her house in general!)

But I agree, I don’t think she’d stay long, we don’t get much validation (aside from my boss) as the people who’s files we handle are often no longer alive, and we never really see the people who make use of the materials, and it feels like Ruby only does things for the validation.

Bouncing around and grimacing etc can mimic neurodiverse stimming, but many neurodiverse people don’t think of themselves as disabled so that statement in itself is problematic.

If the poster meant it wasn’t okay to laugh at Ruby doing that as it mimics learning disabled people, well Ruby isn’t learning disabled so it’s okay to say it looks weird

I would also like to add that years and years ago, Ruby, herself, said many people have asked her if she is autistic and she outright said she is not. Also, I don't remember her bouncing off the walls when she was younger and filming videos for her channel. See her early ones. A show off, yes, boaster, brat, yes. But she didn't post herself stretching her smile until her lips look like they will split. She didn't film herself spinning in fields or lying down in her yard in a nightgown as a grown woman, or literally bouncing off the walls because she was with her "favourite person". So, either she lied to us, which I don't think she did, or, as I said, she is just weird!

I have numerous friends who are autistic, various degrees on the spectrum, each one quite different. But none of them feel shame nor deny it. Those who were diagnosed early are very used to it, those who were diagnosed later on were relieved as it explained some of their feelings and behaviour that they themselves were concerned about. In fact, I have found them eager to share it with me, so I understand their boundaries, abilities, and challenges. Many of us, here on this forum, have agreed that if Ruby was on the spectrum and told people, many would be more understanding and supportive of her. It would explain a lot. But she isn't. Her own words.

I firmly believe she picked up these bizarre behaviours from other YouTubers, as most of her actions are (the claw, for example), because she seems at a loss for who she really is, what her own personality is. She is constantly mimicking others, picking up other people's behaviour, copying other people's videos for ideas, etc.. It is childish and one that stems from lack of self-identity. She has spent a lifetime focused so much on pretending and aesthetics from social media, that she hasn't the slightest idea who she is or will be. At this rate she will still be trying on "identities" until she is in her grave. Anne of Green Gables, Coraline, Matilda, A Little Princess, Emily Dickinson, and so on. But never Ruby Bones. Ruby Bones doesn't even exist in her mind. I wonder what she would be like, if she didn't have access to social media? I would imagine she would do as she did as a child. Mimic people in movies. Hermoine Granger. Ruby Granger. There you go. Perfect proof. And now at 24 years she still clings to the Granger name. So does her mother. I see where she gets it from. A pity neither of them can just be content with themselves.

I know she's only got her dissertation left to do but she seems to be spending more time at home than at uni for Trinity Term.

I'm more surprised that she hasn't already packed up her accommodation and completely moved out.

 

[thegossboss92]

Every weekend? Surely you jest. She's said that she only has tutorials one day. She's 100% at home 5 days a week. Bare minimum.

But aren't you supposed to teach courses when you're doing a PhD? Although maybe not... from the U of Oxford website:

"DPhil students are not required to be resident in Oxford, but will normally be required to attend for at least 30 days per year and to meet their supervisors at least once per term."

Only 30 days per year! Just enough for Rubles to get her shots of the Radcliffe Camera in different seasons for her socials yet not have to live in Oxford. Ideal!

This came to my mind while listening to her nonsensical rambling about baahrds:
