pio im sorry but the six balls name joke bothers me. the fact that its that demons are considered to have stupid names if they're lower class or han style names (sha hualing) or titles if they are upper class/ want to appear that way, while being coded as not han chinese feels racist. i just thought you would want to know about this sort of thing.

I can see how you feel that way! It's an understandable thing to be uncomfortable with at first blush. Though honestly I don't really agree-- everyone has stupid names in sv, it's just that six balls is directly translated in English translations while the others remain in pinyin. So you don't immediately clock that shang qinghua's name is a pun that just means Went to Tsinghua University when you say it outloud or that binghe's name is (dropped in an) Icy River or that sha hualing literally translated is just gauze and bells (basically describing her outfit). It's pretty consistent throughout the whole book that every character is named lazily and over literally, less as an indication of their character traits and more as a commentary on how many artists (sqh) tend to suck at naming their OCs imo.

Take the romanized names: Luo Binghe, Shang Qinghua, Sha Hualing, Liu Geqiu

vs some overly literal translated names: dropped in an icy river, went to harvard, ribbons & bells, six balls

The reason why six balls is the only character that gets this treatment is I assume because the singular scene he's in is entirely dependent on the reader understanding what his name means for the joke to work, but pretty much every character could be swapped in to make a fun literal translated name if the situation needed it

Happy Sunday and thank you @aroace-genderfluid-sheep for the tag.

I finished writing Ljubim te (🥳) and I am taking a little break to figure out what to write next. Good ole Matt Christopher Davis has been begging for attention, but who knows? I am also going on holiday for 3 weeks or so, starting Friday, and I plan to leave my laptop at home, so there won’t be a lot of writing.

But I did mention a while ago that I am thinking about the fic that explores Asian representation on Glee. To no one’s surprise, I am stuck on a title. Anyhow, a lot of this fic is Very Serious and Semi-Trauma Dumping, but there’s also funny shit in here. Yes, Mike, Tina and Wes met each other on an Ohio Asian Forum and now they meet offline:

“Wes Montgomery, but not the famous one,” he says, “My parents changed their names when they moved to America in order to have a bigger chance at getting a job, and they named me Wes without knowing there was a famous Wes Montgomery.”

Blaine rolls his eyes. “He loves telling this story to everyone he meets.”

But Tina has the feeling she’s heard this story before, only with less details.

“Wes, as in GavelMan92?” she says and Wes’s eyes widen when he seems to recognise her as well.

“XxGothGirlTayTayxX?” he asks in disbelief.

I don’t know what’s funnier, GavelMan92, since Wes + Gavel is OTP, or XxGothGirlTayTayxX, since that is soooo 2000s. (Mike’s username is AsianDancer, which admittedly isn’t as funny.)

I absolutely hate the MSG slander that goes on in online spaces. If you've ever used Accent (the little bottle of salt that says it "punches up" flavor and is in a shit ton of white people recipes) you've ingested MSG.

All it is, is salt. That's it. It's fucking salt. Monosodium glutamate. MSG.

Shut the fuck up about MSG in Asian food because you're dumb as fuck and people are tired of your fucking ignorance.
