For once that frantic classical music she shoved on top of everything (forgot the name, sorry guys) would actually be a good fitRuby's next morning routine: So I woke up and decided to have some green tea. And then I decided to snort a shit ton of coke off my desk
Followed by ”I decided”. No wonder she goes on and on about decision fatigue if she has to constantly make a big deal about deciding to open the window or what to have for a snack.
I mean, Ruby doesn't exactly lead a very stressful lifedude we're in a pandemic, nobody is looking fresh rn
She'd deffo get a morning to-do list tattood on her upper arm.
I don't think it's a gender identity issue as much as it is a general identity issue tbf. She seems like someone who's never really been able to figure out who she is, and she's at an age where most of us are finding that stuff out. Clearly her parents encourage her to be a little childish, and she has some unresolved food &/or body image issues that influence the way she presents herself. I really hope she gets the help she needs and starts to become more independent and confident!
My parents are the exact same to the point where now it is ingrained in my habits. I cannot even imagine letting strangers glance and my house in a messy/dirty space.
Sometimes I think she might be trying to go for that messy intelligent person type vibe, like Einstein or something. Didn’t she have a shirt on inside out or something like that? Idk, its like omg my genius brain is too busy being brilliant to worry about something so unimportant as a hole in my sock
She likes to stick to books 1 and 2 Hermione because she really doesn't like it when she grows up, matures, and eventually develops an attraction to Ron. Hermione in the first few books was an irritating little know it all teachers pet, it's too bad Ruby (having read the entire HP series) didn't see how she actually grows up and moves beyond correcting people and waving her hand in the air to bigger and better things. She's stuck the character in this idealised mold she's made in her own head where she never undergoes any character development, her old videos on Hermione were very strange like 'how to be like Hermione on a plane'. At least she has moved beyond Hermione and grown out of it, I still found it odd she would do 12 year old Hermione impressions as late as 17 or 18 years old.
I mean, you can sew up holes in clothing if you're trying to be sustainable and/or can't afford to buy new stuff all the time; clothing really isn't made to last these days, especially the stuff you get in cheaper stores. I agree that it would be a lot better for her to be at Exeter though. Seems like she feels a lot of pressure at home to be childish and doesn't have many outlets aside from social media and books
She does write a load of to-do lists through the chapters (I think someone else had asked me about this upthread, sorry poster! I've only just remembered your question) but I just skim over them as they have no bearing on the plot
This is so bizarre!
I rarely wish Konmari upon anyone, but I feel like they could seriously benefit from it.
I know quite a few people who went to private schools whose parents continued to pay their tuition at uni. £9k a year is significantly less than the fees at most independent schools - for reference the annual fees at Ruby’s day school are currently just under £20k and if you were a full boarder at the very famous school just down the road from her house, you’d be looking at an annual fee of just over £40k so uni seems like a bit of a bargain, even with accommodation etc.Has she talked about student finance before? Obviously she's rich enough to not need a maintenance loan but do her parents pay tuition as well? The concept of being rich enough to pay tuition upfront is so abstract to me
I can't see the story because I don't have an Instagram account but it's very weird that her Instagram name is "Mother Granger" considering that is not their real last name and it's just Ruby's Internet nickname modeled on a fictional character.
And like if I were about to post a picture that thousands of people are going to see where my nails are visible I'd make sure to at least wash my hands and scrub my nails beforehand lol she half-asses everything, it's incredibleNgl she seems like the kinda person to constantly use hand sanitiser because they're worried about covid but then rarely actually wash their hands with actual soap and water... Like using hand sanitiser when you're out and about is fine but if you have access to a sink just wash your fucking hands...dirty fingernails are the worst
Thank you for the screenshots and yes it is embarrassing for Ruby that she's turning a blind eye to this. At least the original comment got some 50 likes so I guess some of Ruby's followers can actually think with their own head and are not blinded by adoration for Ruby.
