Yesterday, there was a small but strange occurrence that unfolded over Twitter, rippling across the internet.
To begin, I want to give you some quick background:
There's a magazine company out of London called "Oh Comely".
They release issues about whatever theme they can drum up at the time and try to present it in an art book style.
Recently, they had their 41st issue of the magazine and this week's theme was the topic of "Imaginary Friends";
more specifically, as per the magazine:
"Our early spring issue celebrates the companions of our lives.
The sisters we played dress-up with as children,
the imaginary friends conjured up to accompany us on adventures and, of course, the pooch pals who never leave our sides."
Heading over to Twitter, the actress Natalie
Morales, known all over television as Lauren from White Collar or Lucy from Parks and Rec,
sent out a Tweet of a page from the magazine.
She claimed: "Ruby,
You have a ghost.
This is straight-up terrifying."
With this was a photo of the page in question.
"Ruby, 3.
This is my imaginary Mum, Grateful. Her yellow eyelashes mean that she can see in the dark --
she only comes to see me at nighttime. It scares me sometimes, but I always want her to come back.
She has two babies in her belly. She's 14, but can never have a birthday."
After this, people all over Twitter chimed in with their thoughts.
Some notable Tweets include one that asks:
"Is Ruby smiling or screaming?", which, given the facial expression, is a fair question.
A user named LuckyNumber861 chimed in saying that Grateful sounds like an early
Puritan name that was given to a little girl, since they had preferences for naming children terms that convey virtue.
Also, they claimed that the "She can never have a birthday" dialog could actually be child speak for the probability that she could never give
birth to her twins and
died while she was pregnant.
After this attention, "Oh Comely" chimed in with an interview of Ruby explaining things about Grateful. Let's take a look:
[Ruby's Mother]: What does Grateful look like?
[Ruby]: She just has:
Black hair,
Blue eyes and...
She didn't have
many questions. It comes to nighttime. I wanna make it (Unintelligible)
So she lights up in the dark, normally.
[Ruby's Mother]: Does she?
[Ruby]: Yes. She comes in nighttime... to say:" (In a hushed tone) "Ruby, Ruby."
And she... she wants to be um, actually a person like other people but she can't because
sometimes she want to be them but she can't(?).
[Ruby's Mother]: Why can't she be a person?
[Ruby]: Because, she, erm...
Is, like,
14, but she can't be a part of 'em because she was, like, invisible and she can be only 14." (Interview Ends)
The entire thing is pretty chilling, especially considering the unnerving image that Ruby had drawn.
Whether it's a repetitive intruder, a figment of her imagination,
or something else, it's pretty hard not to be at least slightly spooked out by the situation.
Anyway, I just wanted to chime in with this quick story because I found it interesting.
Also, quick thing,
I made my previous Waldeck Mine video from yesterday private due to many of you informing me that Frank gets copyright strike happy when people
debunk his videos.
I love to, at all costs, avoid a strike entirely.
So I've left a direct link in the description if you'd like to check it out on my Facebook page.
Disclaimer:
Yes, his content is 100% faked, and his antics regarding striking down videos just solidifies this.
Anyway, thanks again for watching, everyone. I'll see you in the next one. Don't forget to watch yesterday's upload on Facebook.
I love you all and good night.
