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

[slamvs27]

Her debate at the Oxford Union was also like this, full of "um-word-um-word-um-um-word"...how eloquent!

 

[StatusWoe]

God, I hope she doesn’t use Ruby’s videos as examples of her editing work

No joke, I think she does.

I wonder what made her move back home after living in Brighton? You'd think there'd be a lot more going on in Brighton, but maybe it was cheaper and more comfortable to live with the parents again.

the editing of the new video is so bad. The blue tint is so yuck, the sound quality with that loudass music and keyboard typing, the constant frowning, like girl if you don't wanna do this anymore than we get it oml.

 

[StatusWoe]

It's a shame she says she doesn't like comic opera, because I know for a fact the Oxford Gilbert and Sullivan society puts on some smashing productions. Their Pirates of Penzance was great this year.

Just wanted to second this. 100% as good as professional productions imo!

My alarm is set for 7:29 on weekdays and 7:30 on the weekends I live to snooze though, I set both of these semi-randomly at different times and haven’t bothered to disable or really think about them since waking up at some point in the morning is the main objective. So I may be slightly more minimalist but definitely not any more organised than you

OMG I feel that! My superpower is to set the alarmclock an hour before I have to leave the house, then not get up until I really need to, to rush through a quick shower and leave the house running I order to get my train to work/uni

Oh, goodie, another routine video full of performative fakery, with Ruby lie-squinting her way through pretentious lies and pretending to do shit she never does because she needed to shoehorn in the sponsor (which she also never uses).

Another bad AMMILEEE DICKINSON rip-off poem about random backyard foliage.

Another video of Ruby rambling yet again about the EPHAMMERAL NATURE OF THINGS because she desperately wants to be TWALVE AGANN.

Another video of Ruby dressing like a child and twirling AVVER-SYO-WHIMSICALLEEEEEEEEY in her desolate garden wasteland.

Another "routine" video full of wonky timescales.

Another video featuring undeclared ads and ED habits.

Another video of the wind mercilessly assaulting the mic and making her yammering inaudible.

Another video of Ruby trying to dislocate her spine with uncoordinated gymnastics to get out of going back to uni.

Another video of Ruby moaning about how, as a society, "WE" keep doing things that only happen in Ruby's withered mind.

"'RYEETEEN' syeems loike the wrong waahrd to yeeze for this videeeyow."

Newsflash, Ruby: Most of those words sound pretty wrong with that fake accent.

"Flowers don't have a yeese."

Someone get science on the phone: The numerous medicinal properties of flowers and plants no longer apply; Ruby has decided that flowers don't have any use other than decorative.

"With something like potatoes...even if you only harvest them once...they're available all year round because we can get them from supermarkets. But with flowers, you can only GAT THAM and only access them and only smell them ONCE A YEAR."

Well well, after week going MIA, now posting vlogs disgused AD every week!
A Clockwork Deranged, or in Ruby's lingo, A Clackwahhk Yallow and Rad Madnass

She was using 'we' because, despite her claims, she wasn't there alone. You know this because the camera was moving moves on its own while she was busy eating pizza with a knife and fork like a psychopath.

You mean her phone/camera slipping on whatever she's placed it on?

I don't know. It seems completely bizarre that someone would go to these lengths to hide they were on holiday with someone else. It just seems like such an odd and inexplicable thing to do, I don't see why anyone would. Thinking about the lengths she would have to be going to in order to hide it makes me think you're the one with the screw loose here.

 

[Sibyl Vane]

I love how she starts the vlog with 'a solo trip to Paris', mentions that she wanted to be alone, but then she constantly says "we" and ofc, Mother Granger can be spotted in a museum.

Mother Granger aka Mrs B the Chaperone.

"In the book, Lady Grace meets and caerfs for..."

I thought you were kidding, then I watched the intro and she really did says 'caerfs'.

I've just started watching it and she sounds like her age in the first part, then two minutes in, her voice jumps a good octave in her voiceover

Ruby sounds a lot more normal when she doesn't change her speaking voice.

 

[miagossips]

I doubt she’s actually well connected. Her dad has made some money and hid it away in the Virgin Islands, but it’s new money and they’re a family of wannabes at best. She may be able to fake her way into an entry-level publishing job but she’ll bail out at the first chance she gets because she’s neither interested in actually working, nor is she particularly intelligent.

Forgive me if this is common tattle knowledge, but how exactly did he make a large amount of money and hide it away? or is this just a joke i'm not picking up on.

lol you weren’t kidding

to me this looks a bit like she's depressed and all the alice in wonderland reality stuff is worrying. however, knowing who ruby is, it may not be that deep and she probably just thinks it makes her look quirky and interesting or she just is back to playing child again. either way, yikes.

What's happening with the dissertation, doesn't that have to be in soon?

I would have thought it would be due in the next few weeks yet in her live stream this morning she said that she's only just submitting her first draft of her dissertation to her supervisor tomorrow which seems very late to me, yet I swear it isn't her first draft at all as I'm sure she's mentioned in a previous video that she has sent a draft to her supervisor before. I think her dissertation will be due in June considering Trinity Term finishes on the 15th of June and speaking from experience when I did my postgraduate degree my dissertation was due in June.

 

[Afterthought]

The new video makes me tired...

None of you guys organized your group work sessions in your own flats? Like it was common for us to do that, that way everyone bring something to snack and during the weekend it was also an occasion to share a homemade lunch together, even cooking it together.

We all lived pretty far from each other with some of us commuting from neighboring towns. I didn't study in a university city where everything is close by, I studied in Milan. It would not have been fair to meet at one house and force everyone else to cross the city on a weekend or in the evenings to get there, not to mention most uni students from out of town don't even have their own vehicle. So we just met at coffee shops in the city center or near the uni so it was easier for everyone to get there.
Also most of the people I did group projects with were only course mates I didn't know that well or at all if the groups were randomly assigned. It would have been weird to invite strangers to your house.

What’s happening in November? Looks like the graduation emoji

 

[StatusWoe]

In my language, we call that colour goose turd. It looks horrible.

Right when I was eating soup. I have such bad timing.

 

[StatusWoe]

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.

I've really got to start dropping the word 'chronolibidinal' into my daily conversations.

Sorry, I’ve just looked up the quote and seen that it’s about sleep but I really thought it was about TW

Spoiler

su*cide

…. What a bleak quote. Very unusual choice.

Totally agree. It doesn't help that the other quote 'what did it all lead to?' sounds like the words of someone questioning their life choices. I know the meaning is probably less bleak in context, but here on Ruby's insta post it's giving 'depressed person'.

OMG I feel that! My superpower is to set the alarmclock an hour before I have to leave the house, then not get up until I really need to, to rush through a quick shower and leave the house running I order to get my train to work/uni

My issue is that I know I can leave the house in 30 minutes. So my brain just refuses to wake up before I actually need to. I have to leave the house at 7, if I put my alarm any earlier than 6:30, my half-asleep morning brain will just automatically snooze. Sometimes it would actually be nice to have a nice breakfast, do my makeup and do my hair before work...but my brain just refuses lol.

 

[emmer_moans]

I got back ache watching her do those trampoline flips...

I also got chills watching her read outside with a coat on.

 

[Larancia]

Dress makes her look much more chubbier than she actually is, really unflattering, she is a very thin girl but looks so different in that dress

but also the word "debut" is making me nervous. i think it means she has a book deal that she isn't allowed to announce yet.

READ HER TO FILTH lol

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 🫣

Her dog does not like her and I find this deeply amusing.
