i really just can’t believe that she ever actually truly does these routines irl. like maybe she does parts of them, but i feel like for the most part they’re mostly an act?
If you’re referring to Tochter Zion etc., it’s derived from Handel’s Judas Maccabeus, and apparently Handel is Roobee’s newest ”dark academia” obsession.I noticed, that some of the music she plays during her most recent videos are german Christmas carols. Just why?
She did a dark academia take a while ago that was really well done (imo)!
Just saw this video- although Ruby doesn’t do the extreme study with mes anymore this girl has a good take on it!
Is that all? I legit thought it would be closer to 40/50Out of interest I decided to count all the routine videos she has posted throughout the years, its over 30...
I feel that the reason she no longer does them is that they didn't make her any better of a student and people started to see through the act. But I remember watching her videos and thinking that I wasn't doing enough. Ughhh. I can't believe that I ever allowed myself to feel that way. Lol. It's sad, but it makes me sad for people watching current study with mes and feeling the same way.

I remember thinking that too! When I first started university I spent so much time studying but was never retaining anything. It wasn't until my later years at uni that I figured out a study method that worked for me and didn't take 10-12 hours out of my day. Every university course is different so I can only speak for mine (I studied history). When I needed to read the textbook I skimmed it and focused on the more important key terms/parts for exams or papers. I read the introduction and conclusions of scholarly articles before spending 40 minutes reading the 25+ pages of them. I went to class, participated, asked questions, took good notes and then unplugged. Study smart, not hard kids.I feel that the reason she no longer does them is that they didn't make her any better of a student and people started to see through the act.

No I think you explained it perfectly and I agree!Hi, I'm new here but have been following these threads for a long time-
I highly preferred the "aesthetic" of her old videos and also the content, now it just seems that all her content now is just mass-produced routine videos or Victorian/aesthetic videos. It's very annoying really because she doesn't explore other content types. I know that's what gets her the most views and money, but just a thought.
As well, I think that the reason that she does all these aesthetics and follows them religiously is because I think that she doesn't know how to be herself. What I mean by this is that before, she was Hermione Granger and she only did things that Hermione would do in different situations/ how she would've lived her life. Now it's dark academia/cottagecore/Victorian, and she's doing the exact same thing. Only allowing herself to do what those aesthetics would do.
I'm so sorry that I didn't explain that too well but I hope you sort of understand, I also don't have anything against Ruby, but it's what I think.
My partner works in the music industry and this is a rant I’ve sat through many times! One of the issues is that a lot of music libraries, especially the kind of ‘royalty-free’ sites where Ruby seems to be getting some of the ... erm ... ‘lower-quality’ stuff she uses, insist on calling anything without lyrics ‘classical’, which is totally wrong.Maybe I'm being nitpicky, but as a musician, I find it so annoying that any instrumental music is "classical music" to her
I think that you have hit the nail on the head!Hi! New here. One of the many things that irk me about Ruby is how she isn't really anything specific. She is in her 20's and still so childish, trying on every aesthetic she can lay her mind on and coming up empty. She isn't Dark Academia by any means. Having a few pictures on your wall doesn't qualify. She isn't really Light Academia, because lately her videos have been pretty sparing on the intellectual ruler! She isn't CottageCore, because she filters in so much other junk, like jumping up and down like an idiot on her trampoline. She isn't really a Booktuber. Booktubers show book hauls, talk books, do in depth reviews, participate in marathons with other people. She just makes her own up. lol In fact, for someone who is an English major, she seems more interested in playing dress-up and prancing around her parent's backyard than reading. Holding a book and flipping pages doesn't make you a reader. She isn't a lifestyle vlogger....she really needs to be in a home of her own, and needs to get out of the house to other destinations, do some traveling (yeah, not much of that now, but even before and later on). Her routines are not routines, they are staged, often sponsored, plays. Just something to put up on the channel because she hasn't anything new or fresh to add. She used to be a bit interesting when she was younger and really concentrated on studying and sharing that, but when was the last time she did a real time study-with-me live stream? Ages! All in all, she is a childish adult, living in England, who lives a very humdrum life and has very little to show for it, other than a bunch of much younger followers who want to grow up and be like her, until they grow up and realize they are more mature and have fuller lives than she does!

This is spot on, she just comes off as someone who hasn't really found their "thing". She seemingly loves labels (study enthusiast, vintage, bookworm, dark academia, cottagecore, light academia, etc.) but actually she isn't any of those things.Hi! New here.
