Ruby Granger #46 Actively making time for boredom

sorry for double commenting but her comment section is absolute bonkers.
I will riot if the next thread isn't called "pedantic book sniffer"

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

 

[violetapples]

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.

Someone commented on the vlog asking if she and Blakeney are together and Ruby replied that they are just best friends but not romantically involved.

That's not normal best friend behaviour, especially for an adult. If Ruby does have feelings for Blakeney I doubt she would be mature enough to accept and process them in a normal way.

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?

[pomegranate_seeds]

”sniffing the rim”

Can they just kick her ass out of the dorms yet I'm waiting for the downward spiral

Downward spiral coming soon. Probably when her final grades get handed over.

Expect another "GRADES AREN'T AVVERYTHING" video soon where she grumbles that Oxford destroyed her MANTLE HALTH by not giving her the grades she felt entitled to.

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.

The Blakeney screensaver thing is... so strange to me? Like sure, maybe a nice photo with your bestie, but a revolving door of photos of her? So very odd, and if I were Blakeney and they aren't together, it would absolutely freak me out.

 

[Corneilya]

Could be a bingo card lol

I changed it a bit but you're welcome!

 

[Axl4]

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

It’s so sad that she’s spending her last day library hopping. By all means make use of the libraries while you’re studying, but wouldn’t you want to be exploring the city/ socialising with friends on your last day. It made me think of the latest vlog where she’s just eating her dinner on a bench alone while there was a group of students playing croquet in front of her. Obviously you don’t have to be socialising 24/7, but it’s such a wasted opportunity that she hasn’t really made any real friends this year.

I came straight from insta to here when I saw this… wtf is this?? I’m a huge Alice in Wonderland fan but… this is not my Alice.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. She has long since outgrown her nursery styled bedroom and it is only going to get worse. I remember being in my late teens, running out of wall space for housing my books. Graduating, working a full time job, saving money, moving out, eventually getting married and owning our own home allowed me to expand my horizons. She was an absolute idiot to advertise that cottage she was planning to move into after school. Now everyone knows where it is. She could have had interesting content on DYI's, home decorating, gardening, the whole cottagecore vibe going on, and walls full of bookshelves filled to the brim. A perfect writer's paradise. No. She blew it and continues to cling to mummy and daddy for everything, living in her filthy hovel and remaining the adult child for eternity. If she couldn't embrace doing interesting content from Oxford I can't imagine anything decent coming from her now.

“Skulked” is the perfect word for what she has done this year!

POV when you've spent your entire life roleplaying Hermione while in fact you're Dudley: entitled for no reason, rude and skulky. Also, not understanding anything of importance that's happening around you or to you.

They’ve got a massive library/ drawing room downstairs. I’m sure they could fit some there!
I’m the opposite though. Once I’ve read a book I usually move them on. I don’t reread books because I’ve run the numbers and don’t have enough time for all the books I want to read.

This is nothing more than a status symbol for Ruby. She just wants to look like she knows about books and has access to everything she’s ever read

That room is like where books go to die though. I remain unconvinced that anyone in that family enjoys reading, they just like hoarding stuff.

Why is Blakeney dressed for a casual summer outing while Ruby looks like she fell into a bargain bin in a charity shop
