Ruby Granger #46 Actively making time for boredom

[Griftwood]

Making a new thread because new vid just dropped! Credit to @StatusWoe for the title - it was a propitious early suggestion (the very recent ones at the end of the last thread get honorary mentions, because I was wheezing at them as well ) and I feel it‘ll serve as a warning to us all: Roobee’s Oxford “adventures” (and I use the term loosely) have come to an end, prepare yourselves for a summer of ennui in her childhood bedroom, neighbouring fields, and probably another trip to Italy to pose next to some art.

Edit: Here’s the video!


edit #2 god help us all, she’s planning to make a Skillshare course fingers crossed she gets it up before my subscription expires in October, rest assured I will bless you all with commentary if at all possible.

Thank you for the new thread! I've just started watching the new video and had to run across to Tattle as soon as she mentioned her Blakeney screensaver. I understand having photos of your friends as a screensaver, but multiple pics of the same person (unless it's your family or partner) seems a bit... stalker-y and obsessive?

Did they legit ask her to do the endorsement portion specifically in a chipmunk Hermione voice? Thinking it would trick her fans into being brainwashed and go directly to LARN on skillshare or something?

Or was that her idea?

Girl... giiirl . I need the straight people to come in here and try to explain this. I am waiting

Questions: Why does her voice change so much? She goes from having a deep, rather soothing voice, to sounding like an obnoxious child. Also, if with Skillshare you "learn from people who excel", what will Ruby teach? She doesn't have the credentials to teach anything related to her field of study yet. She doesn't have any artistic talent. She doesn't have practical skills.

I feel like we need the GARL equivalent of the Red Flag Man on tt for this

A new photo of Blakeney everytime she opens her phone set as her lockscreen...I don't even know what to comment on that. There's so much to say.

I just hope that regardless of the nature of their relationship or Ruby's feelings that it's mutual and Blakeney also has a similar set up on her phone for Ruby too, cause otherwise I can't imagine anybody being comfortable with that.

 

[Hannahebee]

I honestly don't think for one minute that Blakeney will have pictures of Ruby as her screensaver.

 

[PenroseJ]

Is understandable for someone to have a picture of a family, a celeb, a crush,... But a friend? Even if they are the only super best friend? And multiple? I hope Blakeney does not care because is borderline creepy to me and us I believe... unless Ruby has a crush on her in a Platonic or Aesthetic way

 

[Natash]

The video was so boring, however, that was expected. I bet the skillshare ad deadline was approaching, so she farted this no-effort video into existence.

 

[Axl4]

I wonder if she told Blakeney she was going to announce that to the world before recording the video...

It definitely gives off stalker/baby reindeer vibes. Poor Blakeney!!!

A solo bagel for dinner. That’s such a responsible thing to show to your young viewers

Maybe if she had a picture of her with Ruby, it would be fine. But alone, it is weird. If whatever Ruby feels isn't reciprocated, I am sure her friend feels awkward. I have a picture of my fiancé as my screenshot. I've had many super close friends but have never done this.

 

[nordiclou]

Such a boring video, surely she must be lonely creeping round libraries by herself or wasting away in her room. What a waste of a brilliant opportunity to study at a prestigious university. It could have been the making of her but instead she has skulked around trying to avoid any socialisation and cosplay that she’s 12yrs old.

 

[honestuntruth]

Does she have some sort of Twilight filter on this video? The clips of her in the library looked so dark and depressing, definitely not the aesthetic academic vibe she was going for here.

 

[Whisper2Me]

Having pictures of Blakeney as her phone screensaver is beyond bizarre. I would freak out if anyone was staring at photos of me on a regular basis and putting it right out front, and announcing it. That isn't love. That is obsession and yes, reeks of stalker-like infatuation. I keep very general pics as my screensaver. Flowers, trees, something seasonal. My photo roll is private and I am not going to put any of it on display for others to see, not to mention advertise it on Social Media. That is just downright scary. Every time I think Ruby can't act stranger, she does. Even if they both are somehow romantically involved with each other, it just shows the level of immaturity Ruby is at with relationships, that she has lean to this kind of behaviour, something a young teen would do over someone like Taylor Swift or a favourite actor. So freaking creepy.

In less than 2 minutes, Rumbster managed to make me choke lololol

Rumbster: Yes, I have Blakeney as my screensaver.

Rumbster: I have these pictures on a shuffle...

Rumbster: ... so every time I open my phone, there's a new picture of her
