#weird shit on the internet

[starlightvld]

Sometimes you read a fic. And then you sit there for a minute just staring into space. And then you whisper to yourself, "What the hell did I just read?" And then you move on.

Pondering those orbs…

Yo just so you guys know, cause some people are getting too familiar in my inbox, I don’t enjoy being called pet names or bestie or anything like that. It feels very patronizing and crosses a boundary. I don’t know you guys, especially if you’re anonymous, and honestly you don’t really know me either.

If you ask me a question and you call me something like that, I just won’t answer. I’m fine joking around but I’m not a fan of the weird overly familiar or intimate nicknames.

i will not lie this whole platform is hilarious to me. I dont even have 1k followers here yet (not something i care about) but i am really close to. this blog initially wasnt even supposed to have one single follower. some of my art posts make it to several thousand notes but only if theyre fanart which is understandable. all of this is normal. but somehow SOMEHOW ive created some sort of mold cult which exists parallel to the bsd fanart in this blog. my average shitpost or mold preaching gets more notes than any of my non bsd art and more notes than the non-art posts of many of my mutuals that have several thousand followers. i did not mean for a single second for this to happen. Yet i will embrace it

lord if I see someone talking about how free and blissful being a kid is I'm gonna tear my hair out. "you're 13 what do you have to worry about besides school" climate crisis? economy falling over continuously? government who wants to exchange my future for momentary gain? my parents getting old?? my younger sister's well-being?? my friend's mental health and my own?? you didn't care about these things and left the younger generation to deal with the consequences of your actions

"go play with your dolls" I WISH!!! all my responsibilities and worries would've been school and toys!!! trust me when I say I'd love to be stupid and corny and fun with my friends at the mall but your negligence and poor planning will end up leaving me with no future unless I decide to do something about it myself

ok this is a very niche and meta peeve but. when you live in a country that's not the US or the UK and especially if your native language is not english. there's a lot of ways people from the aforementioned countries may disregard your existence or experiences, grading from Harmful to Annoying. like i think everyone outside of usa can attest to how grating it can be that people from the protagonist country will forget that a whole world exists outside of it for realsies and not just on the news sometimes, with different languages and cultures and currencies and systems and peoples and politics.

countries like sweden and norway are extremely privileged and well regarded globally and don't need to be like, protected. white people from here are not gonna experience real life ramifications of mean sweden jokes online. but there's still a weird dynamic present if like, if the Big Protagonist Country is like, treating a different culture as Weird or Lesser, especially if the people doing it have very little clue about the cultural nuances or politics in question, while everyone Outside of Big Protagonist Country have to learn about THEIR political ongoings every single day, all the time. like, it's a pet peeve. it's annoying. i don't enjoy it. it's not the end of the world! it just sucks that it's so skewed.

so here's the meta aspect. if you complain about anything about norway in norway, especially about how maybe things could be better for marginalized groups, or how maybe some systems could be changed, you'll essentially be told "you live in the world's best country so sit down and shut up." like i genuinely think this attitude is a rot that runs through norwegian culture and something we need to reevaluate.

but something that ALSO happens, if you complain about pet peeves like people mispronouncing norwegian words or how swedengate sucked or when people think the Ø is just a fancy O, is that some people will tell you that you cannot complain about this because other people are ACTUALLY oppressed and sweden is not. it's just "norway is the best country to live in so sit down and shut up" but from the outside.

obviously this is not a big material problem in my real life as i live it. but it's annoying! complaining is a human right!!!

Hey my fellow SVSSS enjoyers! I need a little help!

So I wanted to give Shang Qinghua a nickname/name of endearment in this fic, but I really don’t want it to be connected to his courtesy name (For some reason I feel like it cheapens the endearment if SQH gets “A-Hua” when SQQ gets to be “A-Yuan”).

However, I know that Shang Qinghua doesn’t have a canonical real name outside of his Peak Lord name, so I was wondering if anyone has any ideas for a pre-transmigration name I could give him? Triple the kudos if you can give me both a pre-transmigration name and a pre-peak lord name.
