Ruby Granger #46 Actively making time for boredom

I like how in all the notebooks she brings with her (WHY so many) the only ones she didn't show the insides to were the Pumpkin Productivity ones, almost like she never uses them huh

I lost it when she put it in its dedicated pouch. Too fragile, huh?

The amount of stuff that she has in her bag is just ridiculous as she doesn't need to take all them things with her. In my bag I only have a few things with me.

She couldn't make it any more obvious that she doesn't carry any of this shit around in her bag. She's literally just put together a pile of stuff that she can either advertise or that she thinks will make her look VARRY KOIND, PRODOCKTIVE, ORGANOIZED AND INTALLIJANT.

I especially like her claiming that she apparently keeps track of any random strangers who do kind deeds around the city and hunts them down to give them the world's smallest thankyou card. When she's not doing that, she's got a pouch of birdseed and claims that robins just instantly fly over to sit next to her to have breakfast any time she sits on a bench anywhere.

This happens all the time, she claims. Naturally, there's zero video proof of any of this ever happening to her, because this is some imaginary shit that a 5-year-old would make up.



OFFCWOARSE her latest leather bag (syo veegan!) is mostly filled with PONKERPODTIFTI trash products, since she JANUINELY YEEZES THAM AVVERYDAY, HONNASTLEEEE! She JANUINELY YEEZES MOLTIPOL PLANNERS AT ONCE! This is VARRY believable.

"This is the Yeahhrly, loike, AVVERYDAY plannah from POMPKINPODDUTIVITY?" Ruby says, pointing at the hardback planner that is neither a "yearly" planner or a planner that can be used "every day".

This is her previous false advertising scam raising its ugly head again: This is a 6 month planner that Pumpkin Productivity falsely advertised as a "yearly"/"everyday" planner and neglected to mention that it had 6 months missing until after she'd taken her fans' money. And, naturally, she makes no effort to point out the missing 6 months of pages again here while fishing for more money.



"So...ummm...this is the acadammick plannah...from POMPOM-PODOCKTIFTEAA," she says, struggling yet again to pronounce the name of the company she keeps claiming she runs. "This is, loike, the OLTIMAT PLANNAH."

She does not clarify what's different about the two, since that would mean having to try to explain why a "yearly planner" does not have a year of content in or why she doesn't claim to use the "everyday planner" every day.

"This is the one that oiy yeeze...AVVERY SINGOL DAY," she says as she holds up the academic planner, flipping through it to show that every single page is blank. She holds up a hardback planner, an academic planner and a notebook from the company that she's the face of and all of them are empty. BOT SHE YEEZES THAM AVVERY DAY, JANUINELEEEEE!

I got halfway through the video and thought, "Well, at least she hasn't pretended that she carries around a can of RAMADEEE KYOMBYOOCHAAA as an excuse to whip one of those out for an undeclared ad, so that's something..."




But then she went back to the well and started dropping undeclared ads for gifted snack bars yet again.

"PARKIER BARS ARE MOIY PARSONAL FAVOURITE," she says, making zero effort to mention that Perkier have gifted her years' worth of free snack bars to advertise. If she mentions something's her favourite, it's because she was paid in cash or product.

Has it been cold in the UK? Why is she wearing these woolen jumpers in her last few videos/instagrams? It's been around 25C for the last few weeks just across the pond in mainland Europe.

Eta: so she isn't bringing her "daily planner" (that she uses everyday) with her in her "Everyday Bag" because she admits it's too bulky! Kinda defeats the purpose, Roobs. Thankfully she has another planner on offer that's also sturdier than her daily planner. Good to know her daily planner is bulky and flimsy
---
Eta 2: she brings a whole flipping letter writing kit with her because "you never know when you want to write someone a letter". Good lord, this is the biggest parody of all. You could just write the letter when you get back home where all your writing supplies are at the end of your day or ... you could send a text ... Blasphemy, I know.

I have literally caught Covid for a second time and was only half watching the video and I could see the dead fly shown at 8:42! How can she not see that while filming and editing?? Does it not even bother her??

I too used to loved The Raven, but now when I close my eyes and hear those words, I see a deadpan faced Ruby standing in a nightgown in the garden surrounded by candles... and it scares me.

This is the third time Ruby's uploaded a clip of herself reciting The Raven at high speed. Does the word NEVERMORE mean nothing to her?!

And central Europe has been in severe heatwave after heatwave. My friends in southern England and Wales mentioned having heatwaves too, and I wondered about Ruby's thick jumpers . . . but I guess (with the exception of content including the new planner) we often don't know when anything was filmed.

Her "Coraline" outfit looked stifling for August.

Idk about where Ruby is in England, but where I am in Scotland it's been definitely cool, I could see my breath walking to the train station yesterday morning. Seems like September hit and it was an immediate switch from "maybe its still trying to be summer" to "definitely autumn"

you sure you want to watch Ruby's videos while ill? you want to recover and not get worse.

(get well soon!)

What is the point of memorizing the raven if you're going to recite it with all the passion and finesse of a reluctant catholic school girl mindlessly reciting hail Mary?

I like how, right on the one minute mark, Rumbster shits on everything she has been trying to do with her videos when she says these 'what's in my bag' videos are her "absolute favorite videos to film."

Seriously, what the fuck was she thinking lololol what the crap happened to studying? the books? all the writing? the ACADEMIA helloooooo? Of course her absolute favorite to film is the one that would give her an excuse to do sit there and show off all the goodies mommy and daddy bought her.

Another stupid lie was when she claimed that she usually keeps a handkerchief on her person and that's why she had to try to find one before filming this video. She couldn't. They all must be in the wash, she lies again. She also gets cross at us for not using handkerchief anymore. Apparently it has lots of uses. She doesn't give a single example.

She ALWAYS keeps a washi tape. It always comes in handy, Rumbster claims. One wouldn't expect it to. "But it just does." You peasant.

Child genius Rumbster doesn't know why she keeps a glue stick on her. Nobody does. Not even the glue stick.

Rumbster shows off a hair clip that she "customized". She literally used a hot glue to stick a button on a clip. With her logic I basically made my mother a whole new skirt when I used a pair of scissors and cut her best skirt. Apparently I was very proud of myself for learning to use scissors. I was a toddler though, not 24.

I'm such a sucker for "what's in my bag" videos only because I'm really nosy and love seeing what people carry with them, but... she can't use all of this, surely? A letter-writing kit? You're not telling me she just whips that out regularly

Sorry, I absolutely cackled at her overdramatic rapping of 'The Raven' I couldn't watch that back if I had to edit that

A dead fly and a dirty rug to top it off, lovely

I still can't get over that Miss Productive carries a letter-writing kit with her in her bag to her Study Days but not her academic planner. How can she know what to study without her trusty planner and how does she have time to write letters whilst being a good little student?

There's a fair few comments on the latest video asking what the deal is with the leather bag and leather letter case since she's vegan. One of her die-hard fans has leapt to Ruby's defence to proclaim that it's clearly all vegan leather and how dare any bullying trolls assume that she'd buy real leather.

Why assume, when 30 seconds of research will confirm that Beara Beara don't sell vegan leather bags. And if that's not good enough, you can have Ruby herself can confirm that it's leather (and gifted, too):


And a quick bit of Googling reveals that the letter organiser case is also leather:



(Oh, look: 'REAL LEATHER.')

So there's her leather case and this leather bag that she dug out of her closet to pretend to use, her black Doc Martens bag (they don't make a black vegan leather one), and the multiple pairs of Doc Martens that she herself confirmed are also leather:



Not to mention the regular trips to Five Guys, the beeswax lip balms, the pearl jewellery, the wool clothing, the Chanel No. 5, etc., etc..

Nobody would give a shit if she didn't make a perpetual habit out of proclaiming that OFFCWOARSE she's VARRY MOCH THE MOSTEST VEEEGAAANNN HYOO AVVER DECLOINED TYOO EAT AYY DOLPHIN SAMWICH.

She says ‘um’ and ‘like’ constantly in the what’s in my bag video, it’s so grating.

She just knows that at this time of year people search for what's-in-my-bag videos and she wanted to hit that algorithm, plus, she still wants to cosplay as a child so of course she made the video.

I have to admit the bad reciting of the Raven (yet again) did almost end me
But thank you!

West of France here and the days are warm enough to be in tshirt / sleeveless tops, even going to swim at the beach. But I admit that the early mornings, evenings and nights are chillier now. But Ruby seems to film during the day so... It shouldn't be a surprise, she was already wearing jumpers in summer years before.

True, I took a break from her because I was getting too annoyed, so I forgot about her endless jumpers.

I mean, if we are lucky here, tomorrow perhaps it will be the first day in weeks under 30C. Let's see...

She's done this before, if I remember correctly she posted a questionnaire to find people among her fans to write physical letters to?
It was initially targeted to people aged 12+, then she quickly specified minors couldn't participate, probably when someone told her how creepy it was.

Back in the day she asked her viewers to submit their friends' addresses (without their consent) so they could get a "surprise letter". But she's done again since, even getting people's personal info from their PP orders once. There are details in the wiki.
