Ruby Granger #46 Actively making time for boredom

[thomp92]

Seeing someone like the history gossip on tik tok get offers to study at Oxford and Cambridge makes me giggle. It’s not all serious and bleak as Ruby makes it out to be.
Ruby may be loaded, own her own cottage but what a boring waste of time her year at her dream uni was.

New thread idea: Ruby Granger and the
Miserable year at Oxford

Jumpscare scrolling through Lucy Moon’s stories and Ruby pops up. Not sure what event they’re at but she’s holding a notebook not a clutch bag, she’s so pretentious it’s unreal

slightly off topic but Tortoise has just released a podcast documentary series about Neil Gaiman exposing his really horrendous sexual abuse of a former 20 year old employee and a female teenage fan. Ruby loves him and talks about him a lot, wonder if she’ll say anything?

I can't find anything online, is it verified?
If true, it's a shame. I love his books.

Well it’s all “alleged” so far but the two women have spoken out with similar experiences happening 20 years apart. Gaiman is claiming it was consensual. He sounds like a dirty old perv anyway.

Exclusive: Neil Gaiman accused of sexual assault

Author denies allegations by two women who had been in consensual relationships with him.

Okay, I knew a room tour was coming but I did not expect this room tour lol

Room tour video is up! For someone claiming to be so dedicated to an aesthetic, Roobee is either half-assing it or genuinely has no idea. Remember how she mentioned how people were plotting their writing projects on post-its on their walls on Pinterest and she wanted to recreate that?

Another undeserved grifting opportunity

She's a little late on the game, considering she is already home. She said she always wanted to do one, but realized she never did. Yes, you knew you hadn't. You are just terrified someone will know what room is yours and steal something from you. Don't worry, no one will. Your stuff is crap and filthy.

Considering she went home so many times, why does she have so many books that have nothing to do with her dissertation in that room? Why not bring them home as she purchased them? Maybe because she didn't get them until the last few days so she felt she had something tangible from her time at Oxford, other than a degree? Weird assortment of things, and of no interest since it is a place from the past.

It isn't usual to move out for university here so I've stayed home whilst commuting on campus for my degrees, is it typical to have so much stuff in your dorm room? Maybe it would be for someone who stays there full time but she's home a lot There just seems a lot of clutter on the shelves if it were me but again, my experience was a lot different

 

[Griftwood]

The ball she went to was in Cambridge, I guess for once Blakeney got to invite her to something? Looks like a good time in any case.

Just wondering: if she was indeed moving out right after filming this video, why has practically nothing been packed up in her room? Why does she still have tons of library books she would have to return before leaving?

A lot of people tend to bring more stuff than they need, but by the second year most learn that they don't need as much as they thought they did. In the US a lot of the things are often split between roommates, so someone brings a minifridge, another brings a microwave, etc. However, Ruby had a communal kitchen and (I think?) her own bathroom, so I think it probably isn't as bad as it is in other places. I didn't even know Oxford did Graduate dorms because often I hear about people just getting a student apartment or something once they hit that stage in their life since dorm life is not...appealing. If you never had a dorm / accommodation / whatever you call it in your country, don't worry, you didn't miss out.
---
Adding onto this: she also brought a lot less stuff during her Undergrad. It wasn't until she rented out the house with Blakeney / COVID-19 hit that she started collecting junk.

how is she this consistent with dirty, disgusting nails

Hello all!

Not been on here since November (thought it was longer), but I'm just watching last week's Sewing Bee and one of the contestants is wearing that stupid Miss Patina shirt with the cat collar and all of a sudden RUBEEE comes flooding back into my mind. Thanks for that...

Anyway, I thought I'd pop back on here to see what was occurring. She's got a whole load of Blakeney pics on her lockscreen, eh?

He looks so uninterested/ wants to get away while she's trying so desperately to impress him or something lol

And I thought the chipped nail polish was bad

Poor Ruby. Blakeney didn't even refer to her, her name nor her being her best friend. Where's the love? The obsession? The stalker vibe? Only from Ruby's side. Blakeney uses her for free items and opportunities, but Rubbish is so stricken she is blind to the fact that Blakeney will be moving forward without her soon.

Well we can cross off the disgusting nails on the bingo card. It was actually really fun getting to cross things off while watching this video LMAO. I also took the opportunity here to cross things off she has done quite recently.

There are so many other annoying things she does that can be included into Bingo Card #2 like:

• Undeclared Ads

• Dirty table

• Table full of glasses and cups

• Dirty dishes left to rot in bedroom

• Wilting flowers

• Dark Macadamia Mood Board

• Filming oneself while running

• Filming herself walking to a destination and then having to grab her camera right afterwards.

• Buying books she definitely will never read.

• Rereading Harry Potter for the 1000000th time

• weird ass artwork she did herself (water painting and drawing on iPad included)

• Mispronunciation of common words

• Mispronunciation of names (usually authors)

• "Its the best thing I ever bought for my education"

• "I don't regret buying this"

• "This was gifted to me and I ABSOLUTELY use it everyday"

• "My AcAdEMiC pLaAnNeR"

• "My cOmMoN pLAcE bOoK"

• Her carrot fetish

• Candles galore

• Objects bought simply because they are Harry Potter themed

• Objects covered in filth

• Fake/forced smiling at the camera to try and convince everyone that she IS in fact "happy" (this needs to be tallied every video)

I also think we should start keeping a tally of how many times she mentions Blakeney in every upcoming video. I *think* she mentioned Blakeney in this video about 4-5 times but I might be wrong.

What gets me is not just how utterly lazy her attempt is, but how wildly impractical it is for it's intended purpose. The place she's chosen for it is hilariously dumb when there were other options...

It's not on the wall above her monitor or at eye height next to her workspace where she can easily refer to it while writing. Instead she has to wheel her chair away from her computer and cross the room, then hunch over to look at it, or get up and go awkwardly kneel on the floor next to the wall to read it.

She even leafs through a bunch of hoarded postcards, blank library cards, note cards and assorted stationery which she could've used instead of post-its to embrace the CYOZEEEE MACADAMIAAAA ASSTATTICK that she claims to be OBSASSED WITH and make it a more visually appealing layout. But nah, standard Post-Its slapped on a grimy wall she won't look at.

No practical value or genuine interest involved and purely done with copycat aesthetics in mind, yet looks joylessly slapdash and weird. Pretty much sums up all of Ruby's PROJACKTS, including this video, which is mostly just a tour of undeclared gifted/sponsored products that Ruby doesn't like or use.
