My brain immediately went to that French song that translates as "my blackbird has lost a feather" and went "yeah seems legit"Oh no that's even worse.My mind went to Pacific Palisades because a lot of recent, popular YA novels (e.g. We Were Liars) have been about rich kids. I never would have guessed the title was referencing Ye Olde Medieval Fences. Let's hope there's more to the plot than 'we've lost our fence' because that doesn't sound very engaging.
oh Ruby.The only other one I think we all got a glimpse of is 'Penelope Peppermint and the Silver Tipped Occtopus' which is believed to be some ripoff of 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' from what I remember.From what little she's shown, it's (big shock) about a self-insert Ruby clone in rural England who lives next to some fields. In a classic display of Ruby stupidity, I think the title refers to medieval fences (the book seems to be set during unspecified "olden times").

She likely heard about literary allusion at uni and thought it was a free pass to lazily steal stuff, so from what little she's shared, it appears to rip off His Dark Materials, she's straight-up copied a Robert Burns poem and tossed on a nonsensical book title that references Milton.
I noticed that despite being home for the last 2 weeks she hasn't uploaded a new video as the last video she uploaded was when she was massively struggling/stressing out over her essays. Even though she is at home for Easter she still doesn't seem that happy to me and the fact that she went back to Oxford to spend one night there tells me that she doesn't know what to do with herself as she is very bored at home.
Exactly. She is realizing that she can't run away from this situation. She chose to go for her masters degree and to apply to Oxford for it, thinking she could breeze through it. It isn't working out like she expected, by any means. And with no future planned, she has nothing going for her. I still don't think she knows how to drive, which will be necessary for a job and independence, unless she plans to have her mommy drive her around for the rest of her life, which is likely. All her childishness is catching up fast and she is probably realizing what a waste of time most of her YouTube and other social media content has been. You can't go back in time, no matter how much you want to, ever. So she better start growing up, big time. Her behaviour is beyond ridiculous now.
I think she is slowly fading away from YouTube and social media in general as she doesn't seem to be as motivated as she used to be as she doesn't post as much as she used to. I mean I thought we would get a video last week seeing as it is currently half term but we didn't get anything which is most unlike her as she always uploads a video when it is half term yet this time she didn't which was very odd IMO. Therefore I wouldn't be surprised if she hardly uploads any videos between now and when the course finishes as she is clearly lacking the motivation to upload videos.
What's going on is simple: it's what happen when you base your whole content on your childhood achievements and don't even try to make it evolve.
Whatever happened to that mate she had that was also called Ruby? And they were like "twins" Both obsessed with Hermione, etc.
Sure, if you're dressing vintage as in dressing for a specific period of history, yes you need to do your hair and makeup, otherwise it looks like you're wearing half a costume (especially if a formal "outdoors" outfit is worn. Equivalent informal wear like house dresses and aprons don't so much have the problem). But if you're dressing vintage as in "old fashioned" as Ruby used to love to call it you don't have to put in half as much effort.
I'd actually be glad for her if she does step away from Youtube, she needs therapy and to work on her future goals. Eve Bennet knew when it was time to 'call time' on vlogging, and I respect her for that and she's now invested in her career. Ruby needs to step away from being a social media persona and work on herself.
