Honestly wtf is her life, it’s literally just so easy, all she does is dress like a baby, study, read books, go on walks and make videos lolThis outfit makes her look about 12
Altogether this looks like something my mom would have put me in when I was 5.Thing is those are some pieces that could look quite nice if they fit her properly and she styled them right, but together they do not work
And that weird, slightly hunched over pose she does to hide her chest area and make the little girl vibe seem more legit...This outfit makes her look about 12
Your regularly scheduled reminder that this is a 20 year old woman (who would be in her final year of university ready to step out into the adult world, if she hadnt changed courses)This outfit makes her look about 12
12 is too generous, more like 7This outfit makes her look about 12
She's literally my age and I often catch myself thinking I am watching a fourteen/fifteen year old who hasn't quite matured yet.Your regularly scheduled reminder that this is a 20 year old woman (who would be in her final year of university ready to step out into the adult world, if she hadnt changed courses)
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!Hi, new to the thread! Last year I noticed Ruby finally maturing, like going to therapy and dressing like an adult. However, since she has gone home all I see is childish outfits and she also carries herself more like a child than she did a year back. In a youtube comment thread me (an ex anorexic of nine years) and some others discussed Ruby's noticeable eating disorder/ eating problems. I think it has gotten worse, which is why her posture is childlike. Am I also the only one that thinks Ruby is possibly subconsciously stuggling with her gender? She seems to really be over compensating with femininity.
What is she promoting tho? Cause if the ad refers to the gifted clothes then no wonder she decided to changeLike in this post from August 2020. Definitely not my style, but at least it is something that I would see some of my friends (17-21) wear. Unlike the toddler outfits we've seen the last couple of months... View attachment 427211
Seems to be an Exeter add, so maybe they did ask her to atee least choose pictures that make her look like an adultWhat is she promoting tho? Cause if the ad refers to the gifted clothes then no wonder she decided to change
I just looked it up and the ad was for the University of Exeter!What is she promoting tho? Cause if the ad refers to the gifted clothes then no wonder she decided to change
This. I really don’t think we need to stretch to conspiracy theories or assign issues that aren’t there. I think it’s just a general identity and body image issue.I don't think it's a gender identity issue as much as it is a general identity issue tbf.

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 booksI also try not to judge people for what they wear, as long as they’re comfortable it shouldn’t matter. With Ruby though, it’s like she intentionally chooses mismatched clothes that make her look as young as possible. Also, if you have holes in clothes, they should be thrown away not kept because you’re obsessed with some ‘aesthetic’ or just too lazy to replace it. I wish she was at Exeter, I think when she’s around people her age she holds back a lot of her childish behaviours and ways of dressing than when she's at her family home. She is definitely struggling with her identity and I'm sure that's part of it.
So much for wishing him a painless recovery, the man had to spend his A&E time with this brat banging on about anatomy next to him. Willing to bet he was wishing for a swift death instead.Erimentha arrives for PE before her peers as she now wishes to demonstrate her physical superiority. She hears her classmates talk about 'meaningless' things such as TV shows and weekend plans.
They start playing tennis and her serve is perfect, because of course it is.
There's a bit of back and forth between her and the others.
Suddenly, everything goes white
-------
No, she's not dead, it would be God meeting her at the gate anyway, not some amateur like St. Peter.
She's concussed and the school nurse is there.
Kimberly hit her with the tennis ball. Her mum is on her way to take her to hospital.
--------
She's in A&E and having a wonderful time observing the sick people around her. She guesses a man has a broken arm by looking at his ulna bone and notes how much pain he is in. You stay away from him, Erimentha Shipman!
Her mum bought some things to the hospital - not packed by her, because in this novel, she is mentally regressing at an alarming rate, she wouldn't be able to pick the right stuff - Erimentha had already procured an Emergency Hospital Supplies Kit. This is not a joke.
The doctor marvels at Erminetha, telling her she's the most medically-informed child she has ever met, because that's what most NHS doctors have time to do. Ruby needs to read House of God and understand the meaning of the word GOMER
Erimentha passes the broken-arm man on the way out, offering her condolences and hoping he recovers quickly and painlessly. Never, ever, let this girl near you with a syringe.
