Ruby Granger #47 Self Learning at the University of Roobs, Manor campus

I still can't get over her sewn collar 😅 the raw edges with frays! Haphazardly placed and sewn ribbon! As a sewist it hurts my soul. Even children in their first ten minutes of sewing can do a better job.
As a painter I feel the same pain each time she tries to use watercolor. She's just lazy and doesn't really try.

I was going to say wtf, but I suddenly remembered a very unhinged and very NSFW playdough nativity scene we made at a party when I was at uni. It’s the fact she’s making this tit while sober that I’m side-eyeing.

edit: the more I look at it, the worse I feel for the bunny. Why are his ears stuck to the wall and partially separated from his head? Why are the bench backrest supports made from bunny limbs? 🙀

Everyone's so creative...

Is this an ode to Donnie Darko?
 
I saw this and immediately thought of Ruby, although it applies to most influencers. She never gives the feeling that she actually enjoys all these activities that only seem to fit into a certain still image. Isn't it exhausting to live this way?

Also the original meaning of the word "romanticise", and still its real meaning outside of tiktok, is to describe something in an unrealistic and more appealing, nostalgic way than what it actually is or was. AKA to lie to yourself and others and make something dodgy or downright dangerous seem nice. Like how people romanticise serial killers, the past, pirates, sustenance farming etc. It is NOT A GOOD THING to romanticise something in real life lol. I understand the concept of semantic shifts just fine, just in the case of Ruby it seems particularly funny that she keeps using this word.
 
Mental health struggles? How is possible? Childhood bedroom and twirling in fields somehow not good enough?

imagine getting a second-hand iPad from your grown ass adult daughter, complete with a pre-set background picture of you drawn by said daughter, only it looks like the work of a not particularly talented middle schooler

I have recently bought that exact copy of Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell! It is on my bookshelf ready to read... now I think I might wait because I don't want to read it at the same time as Ruby in case she ruins it for me :ROFLMAO:
 
"MOIY MANTLE HALLTH WAS BAD AND OIY FALT RILLY ANXIOUS WHILE WAHHRKING ON MOIY PHD APPLICATION FWORE TWANTEE TWANTEEE FOIVE."

Here's a thought: Maybe don't apply for a demanding, time-consuming PhD that you have zero interest in and will get zero use out of if you know all it'll do is make you feel stressed and miserable, especially when you have the money and privilege to do literally anything else you want to instead. The cherry on the top: Ruby has no idea what she actually wants to study on the PhD she's insisting on applying for.

Ruby's lazily skim-reading bits of Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, then immediately starts jumps into writing some of her own DARK MACADAMIA Philip Pullman knock-off fantasy book. She's also got the trailer for A Discovery of Witches on her screen at one point. She's JANUINELY not just lazily stealing from existing works to slap together a crappy draft of her "own" novel, HOW DAEEHRR YEEEUUU. Coincidentally, Ruby's out on TikTok claiming that plagiarism is fine because she read it in a book, which she then copied and pasted into her CWOMMONPLYACE BOCK.

She does yet another thoroughly unconvincing job of trying to convince people that she actually has any real involvement in PONKYPOD TIVTEA, because today's sponsor is Shopify and the vanity stationery brand that her management made and manage for her is the only way she can tenuously tie it to the video.

She forgets which lies she's supposed to be telling again, and despite her constant claims that SHE RONS THE COMPANY AND DESOIGNS AVVERYTHING HARRSALF, she accidentally admits that someone else designs everything, someone else runs everything, and she can't even be bothered with what little she's asked to do - she gets AI to write her product descriptions for her. Her only contribution appears to be more cack-handed doodles so she can pretend she's TWALVE AGANN.
 
Latest vlog takeaways....

1. She is struggling with her mental health. No explanation as to why a simple part-time job and living at home with no expenses, no responsibilities, no concerns, is stressing her out. Oh, maybe it is because you have acted like a child for too long and it is finally getting bizarre, even for you?
2. Hasn't got anything done in a day. Let's be honest, Rubbish. You haven't got anything worthwhile done in a decade.
3. Wandering aimlessly in the messy yard. Pretty much sums up her life to this point.
4. Giving her old iPad to her mother with a pathetic childish drawing as the background screen? She is forever gifting her mother presents at random times, like she is begging for her approval. So weird.
5. She no longer looks comfortable in her own home. She looks lonely, lost and depressed. That is what happens when everyone else grows up and you remain a child, as you approach the quarter of a century mark.
6. Talks about palm reading. Sorry, but palm reading isn't even in Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell. They would never lower themselves to parlour tricks. They were Practical Magicians. She obviously isn't reading it and has totally missed the point.
7. Doesn't like to read big books. Big books. Oxford Master student, going for her doctorate in God knows what. This idiot just doesn't read. Everything is a performance for her.
8. A lot of talk about magic. No idea why. Hardly what her audience associates with her. She was a study-tuber. Is this the influence of Jade and her magic approach, her desire to actually live in a J.K. Rowling book or her desperate desire to find another identity? Don't worry...she never finishes anything, so she will outgrow it, like sewing, painting, Latin, gymnastics, writing, etc..
9. Ad and admin. Of course.
10. Walks in the mud. Feels better now. Loves this time of year, in spite of the fact that she looks glum, depressed, lonely, anxious and needs weekly therapy. LOVES this time of year. Sure you do.
11. Let's normalize therapy. Just saying, every single time you say that the world needs to normalize therapy, you actually remind people that you, yourself, don't think therapy is normal. Every week, for years, and I have not seen a single change in her.
12. Last, but not least, her doctorate. She hasn't the slightest idea what she wants to get her PhD in and yet insists on keep heading in that empty direction. Finally dawns on her that she should do it in something that interests her. Duh, Sherlock! What is her deal? Her head is just empty nonsense and she has zero direction on her future. Just skip the doctorate and try a full time job, learn to drive, be independent and freaking grow up!
 
I, too, like to count out exactly six pieces of pasta and THARTEE beans to go with my slice of untoasted white bread and three tablespoonfuls of tomato SYEEP for lonch.
I think she’s picked them out of the soup?? Which is such a bizarre ED thing to do that I can’t fathom why she kept it in the video. Also, why eat soup when half of the ingredients are things you dislike? Just make something else?? And why is the soup in a container most people use for office supplies?! (ok, I’m reading too much into this. But even ruby looks disgusted, according to this picture)

Omg take a day off. She has all the privilege of no job to take a break. She’s going to have this PhD researched before the app is even in. The idea can shift, sources can change, research questions should not remain completely the same from proposal to end product. It’s a 1.5k proposal, not a research paper. I don’t know why her over-prep is annoying me so much 🥴 even more than the strange eye contact when she’s slopping out the soup into the pan.
