probably because it's not really a cake, probably just ground almonds and a stodgy porridge based sludge that got cooked with no raising agent in it. Everything she does is sloppy. Vegan cakes don't have to look this sad.
Yeah what's with her cakes looking so flat? I've done some vegan baking in the past (vegan parkin) and it doesn't look half this pancakey. If I were her I would go over to making swiss roll. At least there it's purposeful.

It makes me so angry that, at a time when ballet and opera are increasingly inaccessible financially to so many people, Ruby has been 'gifted' a ticket to see Swan Lake at the Royal Opera House. The performances are all sold out so it's not like they needed the publicity. She's such a shameless grifter.

She'll grab anything she can with her dirty, stumpy, tote bag wielding little mitts.

Totally agree about the Royal Opera House gifted experience. And once again, she films so many people in the building and doesn’t give them the respect of blurring their faces.

Random thought, a few years ago she was really into gymnastics, she had that expensive equipment in her garden and often included in her vlogs that she’d practise often (who knows if she actually did!) but I remember her filming walk overs, flexibility etc. and being good at it? She also attended trampolining and stuff at Exeter. Did she just give all of this up? Feel like Oxford would have lots of great facilities for this!

I so dislike places giving influencers who can well afford something the experience/meal/item for free!

If any Tattlers are between 16-25, the ROH has a decently priced programme as well as special young people performance nights https://www.roh.org.uk/ticket-deals/young-roh

That said, the other big Ballet companies in the UK are excellent too, and better priced! For example, the English National Ballet has tickets starting at 15 pounds for Giselle later this year: https://www.sadlerswells.com/whats-on/english-national-ballet-akram-khans-giselle/

To add to this, ROH, National Theatre and the Globe have “Friday Rush” tickets. Released at about midday each Friday, you can get tickets for the following week for £5-10.

She was pretty okay at it, but I think once she injured herself in 2020? 2021? she gave up.

She was flexible (and still is, witness her contortionist ”yoga” poses lol) but her trampolining consisted of her flopping around without much control. I think the whole gymnastics thing took place around the same time as when she was reading books about eating disorders and generally trying to make those (and later, ballet) into an identity. Most likely, she left all that expensive equipment outside to rot for the winter and if they haven’t been binned yet, they’ll be in the loft, waiting for middle-aged Roobee to dig them out in 20 years’ time.

She could do some basic skills, but she was anything but graceful. No straight legs, no pointed toes. She just kind of flopped around and I believe sprained her ankle in the process. Maybe even twice, if I remember correctly? At any rate, like everything else, she abandoned it and doing cartwheels and walkovers in your backyard at age 25 is not going to get you anywhere in life. Even professionals are washed up at this age and have moved on to marriage, kids and a career in commentating, judging, training or simply left it all behind. She's too late to the game, as usual.

Yup, she sprained one ankle doing excessive running. She then ignored all basic common sense and standard medical advice to rest and heal, insisted on continuing to do gymnastics instead and screwed up the other ankle. Naturally all of this was "VARRY INFYORIATING" and none of it was Ruby's fault.

She had a phone consultation with a doctor who told her it was sprained and to rest it. But what do doctors know? A simple sprain wouldn't garner sympathy and views! So Ruby went ahead and Erimenthassessed herself as having a Grade 2-3 sprain/ligament tear despite apparently having seen zero doctors or medical professionals in person.

(Ruby VARRY TRYOOTHFOLLY explaining her legitimate medical diagnosis. Spot the obvious tell.)

It was also yet another thing she never wanted to work to improve at, so she never bothered going to structured training sessions. She just went to the occasional 'pay for an hour' drop-in free play sessions where she could fling herself about on a trampoline and hope for applause from random bystanders (while framing it as a structured "gymnastics meeting" to make it seem more important).

Probably doesn't help that by the time last year at Exeter rolled around her energy and basic coordination were completely shot in general (malnutrition strikes again!) so she got actively worse at gymnastics (and everything else) with time. Whenever she showed herself trampolining or doing gymnastics she looked like she was ready to break her neck or backflip face-first into the floor at any moment. Since then, she seems to have ditched the acrobatics in favour of just starving herself and doing a 2 minute lap of her back yard while claiming she went on a 5 hour "RON".

I also think Ruby is someone who runs away whenever she meets up with competition of any kind and finds someone else does something better than her. Someone else on YouTube, someone prettier, someone more well read, someone who can do ballet better than her, someone in trampoline, in classes, in anything. They are the bully, they are the nasty person she avoids, while she is the poor little victim. In reality, she is very much a narcissist. She wants to be perfect in everything and isn't good at anything. She spent too much time trying to be a Jack of All Trades and a Mistress of None, that she hasn't anything to show for it. No one cares about a YT channel with a bunch of young kids watching her and praising her idiocy.

The lie squint is so hilarious to me. She looks at footage of herself all the time, she must know that she does this, right?

I just started paying attention to the lip-smacky mouth noises that people have pointed out and now I can’t unhear them, it’s like listening to a snail trying to communicate. Also when she’s speaking to the camera, she will look anywhere but the camera - which on the one hand I understand, it may be uncomfortable, but she goes overboard with the eye-rolling to the point of looking comical.

Oh, how could we ever forget about the trauma that was her sprained ankle? The way both Ruby and Clarice carried on for WEEKS, you'd be forgiven for thinking the bone had been shattered in a tragic accident and Rooble's was at risk of never walking again.

Not to mention, we got my favourite incident of Claire scolding Marfa for the mortal sin of being alive in Ruby's presence from it.

The eye roll thing is her trying to recite a pre-written script.
