I think Ravenclaw? I'm pretty sure I've seen her wearing a scarf in a vlog, but I'm not 100% sureReally pointless question I know but has Ruby ever said what Hogwarts house she is?

She'd probably say Ravenclaw for the cleverness. Don't know if she's confirmed it, though.Really pointless question I know but has Ruby ever said what Hogwarts house she is?
Yeah that's what I thought. I read a discussion once about the main characters being in the 'wrong' houses and someone pointed out that Hermione wouldn't be in Ravenclaw because she works hard rather than working smart, kind of applies to Ruby tooShe'd probably say Ravenclaw for the cleverness.

Slightly ot but why would that fact not make Hermione a ravenclaw? Thought the houses were just about your priorities in life but then again I don’t really know too much about HPYeah that's what I thought.

I think it's because ravenclaws are known for inherent smarts or something like that. But! i should mention that ravenclaws are not all about cleverness. Ravenclaws also prioritize originality and eccentricity that's why a whole lot of them are inventors.Slightly ot but why would that fact not make Hermione a ravenclaw?

Hi RubyRemember when we criticised her "books i read in 2020" video and suggested other video ideas? guess what she's doing
If she spreads black powder on her cheeks and pretends to grimly walk towards the coal mine for her first 8-hour shift of the day I'm going to lose my mindI think a move towards more booktube content could actually be interesting, I tend to watch those kinds of channels and if Ruby engages more critically with books it could really work well for her.
I'm very dubious about her working class Victorian morning routine - my research specialism is gender and class in the 19th century and I think I'll find it very difficult to hold my tongue. If Ruby does her normal romanticised take on the topic it will most likely come across as massively insensitive and problematic, especially coming from Ruby's extremely privileged position.

Agreed! I'd be genuinely up for a monthly round up of books she's read, with some proper analysis of them rather than just 'I liked this'. Obviously this is assuming it's not all kids books - I'm sure it won't be though given she'll presumably have some uni stuff on there. My main issue with Ruby content wise (so excluding her privilege etc), is that it's all very repetitive and very childish. I think some more grown up videos where she actually shows us some intelligence and adult thoughts would be genuinely interesting.I think a move towards more booktube content could actually be interesting, I tend to watch those kinds of channels and if Ruby engages more critically with books it could really work well for her.

I’m not a literature student and I am still working full time but I read 18 in January, it’s a lot of not loads of she’s including her course booksHow many takes did she take when explaining the Eichmann book!!! It’s so choppy.
Also 19 books in one month??? That seems ridiculous to me, even as a literature student, that seems insane.
Ok maybe it’s just meI’m not a literature student and I am still working full time but I read 18 in January, it’s a lot of not loads of she’s including her course books
Yes she did do a big disclaimer about the upper class routine stuff so I agree with what you’re saying.Agreed!

Yeah I'm really not sure about the working class routine. We were all critical of her for making an upper class one and passing that off as being 'normal', so I know now criticising her for a working class one might seem unfair (sorry Ruby if you're reading!!), but really I just think she shouldn't have done any in the first place. I just can't see a way it isn't going to be incredibly insensitive and poverty porn-y.
