LOOK AT THIS SWEET BOY

[mari-reads]

if youre bugging out that RedNote is a propaganda app because its wholesome when Zuckerberg is going on Joe Rogaine to announce that meta won’t be doing anymore “woke” fact checking, Musk did what he did to twitter, and every American algorithm is an right wing fascist pipeline…. you’re priorities are so fucked

Mind you every politician that voted for the TikTok ban has insane stock investments in Meta… but yeah do you on the dangers of “ccp propaganda”

I am no stranger to manifesting! I have manifested amazing things.

But for 2025, I decided that I want it to be fun, fulfilling and easy. Not worrying about time cause time isn’t even real anyway.

I have just been listening to random subliminal videos I like and affirming simple stuff like, “I have a million dollars right now. Everything in my life is always perfect.”

And I already manifested a huge Taco Bell order and this high tech ahh weed vape I have never seen before, all paid for by my ex gf who still loves me dearly (benefits of high self concept lol).

That all came like ten minutes after I made a firm decision to manifest in this fun and easy way only. Locked in, and started robotic affirming through typing those two exact affirmations while listening to my fine tuned subliminal playlist. 🪄

Specially now that I learned to not care about “3D,” or even hate it, it’s my bestie now. All my desires chase me now, no matter what I do or don’t do.

I always do tings for MY OWN SOUL now.

Going to hit this crazy vape, get zoomed, & lock in. Affirming while listening to my playlist all night since I slept during the day.

Oh! And all my socials have been ramping up, so much interactions and follows!! 🫶🏾

Here is some proof;

[incorrectbatfam]

RedNote would go wild in the DCU. Americans learning Chinese and Chinese folks learning English just to have conversations like

"Yeah our Superman is fine but he's kinda got an ego :/"

"But you have a robot Robin. Ours just die"

As TikTok anxiously awaits a Supreme Court decision that could determine whether it will be banned in the United States, users are preemptively fleeing the app and migrating to another Chinese social media platform called Xiaohongshu, which literally means “little red book” in Mandarin. As of Monday, Xiaohongshu was the number one most-downloaded app in Apple’s US App Store, despite the fact that it doesn’t even have an official English name. The second app on the list is Lemon8, another social media app owned by TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, that is also experiencing a traffic surge from exiled TikTok users.

Over the weekend, thousands of people began swarming to Xiaohongshu, which is known in China as a platform for travel and lifestyle content and has over 300 million users. The newcomers, who refer to the app as “Red Note” or “the Chinese version of Instagram” and call themselves “TikTok refugees,” are relying on translation tools to navigate Xiaohongshu’s mostly Chinese ecosystem. Some say they are hoping to rebuild communities they had on TikTok, while others say they joined the app out of spite and to undermine the US government’s decision to ban TikTok over concerns that the Chinese government could use the app to surveil Americans.

“I would rather stare at a language I can't understand than to ever use a social media [platform] that Mark Zuckerberg owns,” said one user in a video posted to Xiaohongshu on Sunday. There are a countless number of similar clips in which TikTok refugees introduce themselves and explain why they decided to come to Xiaohongshu, many raking up thousands of likes and comments each. A spokesperson for Xiaohongshu could not immediately be reached for comment.

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on Friday from TikTok and the US government, which respectively made their cases for and against a law passed last year that would force TikTok to sell its US operations or be banned by January 19. Experts said the justices appeared to think the law was constitutional and would likely allow it to stay, leaving many users feeling that the app’s days are numbered. While TikTok is unlikely to immediately disappear from the phones of people who have already downloaded it, it could be deleted from US app stores, causing many to panic and look for the next place to go.

Some users are predictably going to Instagram or YouTube, but others say they would like to stick to a platform developed by a Chinese company to protest the decisions by US lawmakers that led to this situation. “Telling me to download Rednote out of spite over the TikTok ban was the only push I needed actually,” one person wrote on Bluesky. Internet culture journalist Taylor Lorenz also shared a link to her Xiaohongshu account on Bluesky, calling the platform “the hottest new social app in America.”

At least so far, pettiness and revenge appear to be enough to motivate people to learn how to navigate Xiaohongshu, an app that is overwhelmingly used by Chinese-speaking people and was not designed with English-speaking users in mind. “I have no idea what I’m doing here. I can’t even read the rules,” one TikTok refugee who goes by “Elle belle” said in a post on the app.

"Hello everyone, my name is Ryan. I'm a TikTok refugee. The American government is banning TikTok so we are looking for an alternative … We are very sorry to interrupt you here. Hope we don't have to stay here for too long," a Xiaohongshu user using the name Ryan Martin said in a video posted yesterday seemingly addressing the app’s Chinese user base. He translated the statement into Chinese and used a robot voice generator to read it in the video, which has since been liked more than 24,000 times. “It’s fine, you are not interrupting. When you guys are active, we are sleeping,” reads one of the top comments in Chinese.

There are also dozens of live audio chatrooms on the platform where American and Chinese users explained to each other, probably for the first time in many cases, how their respective societies work and clarified common misunderstandings. One of the most popular chatrooms has been listened to by nearly 30,000 users.

While Xiaohongshu is not specifically named in the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act that the Supreme Court is currently considering and could result in a US ban on TikTok, the law does stipulate that any “foreign adversary controlled application” may face a similar fate in the future. In other words, there’s no guarantee that Xiaohongshu won’t follow in TikTok’s footsteps in being blocked by the US government.

The TikTok ban might have catapulted Xiaohongshu to the center of attention in the US, but the app has been successful for a long time in China. Founded in 2013, the Shanghai-based company has operated one of the most, if not the most, trendy platforms in China over the past few years and reportedly generated over $1 billion in annual profits in 2024. To put it simply, it’s the hottest app in China that non-Chinese people have never heard of before.

It also has a sizable following among Chinese-speakers outside of the country, ranging from Chinese students overseas to Taiwanese people to diaspora communities in Malaysia. Restaurants, tourist hot spots, and travel companies around the world have started noticing the app because of how many Chinese tourists heavily rely on it for local information and recommendations shared by fellow Chinese people.

The app is starkly different from TikTok in a few major ways. While Xiaohongshu does allow users to post short vertical videos just like TikTok, the majority of the content on the platform is photo slideshows coupled with text, which is why people often view it more as a competitor to Instagram than TikTok. The app’s AI-powered grid-shaped feed (referred to as a “masonry grid” in professional tech circles) has been so successful in driving engagement that larger social media companies like Tencent and ByteDance have copied the design in their own products. Lemon8, the other popular social media app developed by ByteDance aside from TikTok, is widely seen as an attempt to emulate Xiaohongshu and its success.

In fact, the app doesn’t even have a good English translation of its own name: Xiaohongshu is the just the phonetic translation of its Chinese name. 小红书. While the literal translation “little red book” may remind English-speaking users of former Chinese leader Mao Zedong’s collection of speeches and propaganda slogans by the same name, it has a different connotation in China, where users interpret it as a source of reliable user-generated recommendations for mundane things, like which restaurant to go to or which cosmetic product to buy.

The recent influx of American users has certainly caught the attention of Xiaohongshu's existing user base. David Yang, a recent master’s program graduate from China currently living in Paris, suddenly found his Xiaohongshu feed full of American users on Sunday. He had previously seen some non-Chinese creators intentionally coming to the platform to attract Chinese followers, but nothing at this scale.

Now, when he scrolls his Xiaohongshu home page, about one quarter of the content is from so-called TikTok refugees, according to a screen recording he shared. “Some of them are asking what Chinese people think of certain issues, like the USA, LGBT, or other social issues. And some are inviting Chinese users to ask them questions. And some are just using the app like they use TikTok and post anything they find interesting,” Yang tells WIRED. The concentration of genuine personal content shared by normal people rather than polished influencers was refreshing, he added.

Chinese Xiaohongshu users are fascinated by the influx of new voices. Most of them, especially those who speak English, are extending a welcoming hand, liking the videos posted by TikTok refugees and following their accounts. Some are taking the time to try to explain how the app works to people who find it hard to navigate due to the language barrier.

Sarah Fotheringham, a TikTok user since 2021 from Utah, tells WIRED she's having a surprisingly nice time at Xiaohongshu despite relying on Google Translate to use the platform. For her first two days on the app, she has spent a few hours each day and posted four videos, the last one explaining the US school lunch to Chinese users. "People have reached out to offer help in every way, from navigating the app, adding subtitles to videos, and translations," Fotheringham says. "One comment on my video was from a Chinese user. She said, 'wow it's like looking over the Chinese wall.' And for me, it's been my first time seeing in."

“Most of the [new Xiaohongshu users] are probably in the curiosity phase. I think moments of cultural shock or controversies could emerge as time goes on, but that would be part of the process for them to know each other on a deeper level,” Yang says.

Hello hello hello

I figured with the ban, I would return to my roots yet again to be more active as my only current space here on tumblr for the time being. And now that you’re all aware, I do have concerns listed out will be specified with my art.

Q/A: What concern I will have over the newcoming community and the proship community.

-I will put first thing. I am not a lowly doxxer. I am not you as a content creator and we are not the same. Even if I do see your ship and it’s choice of implied rape/inbreeding, I will merely ignore for my own mental health’s sake. I only report what is outwardly obscene (like imagery of something illegal/bigoted) But I will never disclose names of accts as a newletter to my followers. And I will not bring harm to people when i have no real responsibility for their choices. Even if those choices and morals may not coincide with mine.

Q/A: what WILL your blogs have as far as warnings?

Warnings of some gore, suggestive themes, sensitive topics that I would best pin to squeamish minors under 18. Again, I do not have responsibility of what you can and cannot click. I can only warn that there will be langauge, artistic nudity, and at times sensitive subject matter. Its okay, not everyone likes guts ‘nweenies. The block button exists.

Also these guidelines are meant for this site ONLY. My rules change with the platform. My morals remain, but I will try to be as consistent as i can with potential language barriers. I have a feeling they may be more butchered as i learn.

Q/A: Can your work be shared?

Please do not repost my art on another platform without consent. Especially my original projects. The fanart ones I don’t own really anyway. AI has most likely cannibalized my style already for it to not matter by this point so… Whatever.

Which by the way no, I don’t use AI in anything but janitor. I am only a user to see my robotic competition, which, for all it’s worth, to be a whore and not for my actual writing. I suggest users to do the same to destroy its algorithm further.

Q/A: How have platform bans affected you?

If you must repost my art to a platform i cannot access due to my country (ie, TikTok and eventually Rednote/Xionshu) I would only ask that you leave my watermarks and source to avoid any orphaned content. I would like people to find ways to find me with a little digging.

I will be updating more links to new content that will be free to the public as I try to maneuver this strange new type of social media i have been given. And I would like to keep as many like minded people in my feeds as possible.

Thank you for reading thus far. I hope I have not deterred you from appreciating what goes about in my silly head. You are a star I tell ya.

I downloaded and have been using the App “Xiaohongshu”, also known as “RedNote”, on my Android Smartphone for several Days now, and I highly recommend it to everyone else because it shows a Side of China which we don’t get to see in the West and its Allies much, especially now here in the Philippines under the Pro-United States (US) and Anti-China Administration of Bong Bong Marcos (BBM).

The App has become famous recently because many Americans have been flocking there instead to spite their own Government for banning TikTok in the US. They said that rather than have China steal their Data, they will just go over to Xiaohongshu and give it to China themselves, LOL.

Anyway, some of my favorite Content in the App are the Chinese Robot Dogs, it seems more People got to own them there since it is more affordable than the comparable ones in the West. Chinese Citizens also have fallen in love with the new Fighter Aircraft, the J-36 and the J-50 Stealth Fighter Aircraft as there are a lot of Pictures, Videos, Computer Generated Images (CGI) and Scale Models of them there.

I particularly envy the Chinese printing Scale Models of the J-36 and J-50 on their Three-Dimension (3D) Printing Machines, it is quite awesome. I may Post some of the Videos I find most interesting every now and then in the near Future.

I noticed that Engagement in the App is a bit low though compared to TikTok, the usual Video I see only has several hundred Likes, and Videos that reach tens or hundreds of thousands are not that common. Just search “Xiaohongshu” or “RedNote” on your App Store and download it if you want to join in.

The US and Chinese governments better get in the ball and stop Americans from jumping onto REDnote. Otherwise both our young peoples will realize the other country's young people are not in fact evil alien monsters filled with weird sins, but are in fact pretty much just people, and both governments will need to find a new stupid reason to take everyone's money to spend on anti-other robot guns.

Yeah idk what else to say lol

Overdue Updated post as of Nov 19th: YRWYS AU has been deleted from my AO3 a while ago. The reason being that the original story I had planned got changed so many times and is in a constant state of discussion and modifications and I didn't feel like rewriting. (Plus it took me like 7 chapters of writing to get literally no where 😭) the only information I have is on a fieends discord server and the occasional crumbs I drop here

So You’re New to H.P. Lovecraft

Where to start? How will I know what stories grab me?? Well, come along, my friends as I give you some of his most well-known and beloved stories, REDNOTES EDITION 

Dagon: The ocean is scary as fuck, fish are even scarier, and the idea of giant fish people makes me just about shit my pants. The Temple: You know that story about some sailors kidnapping Dionysus and he makes them all go crazy and jump overboard and then turn into dolphins? Yeah that but with cartoonishly evil Germans on a submarine. Fucking Huns! The Lurking Fear: The....(checks notes)...ooh I’m running out of minorities....uhh...the...Dutch are subhuman inbred cannibals? The Dutch? Is that right? That can’t be right. No, yeah, wait, says right here. Dutch...subhuman, inbred cannibals. Huh. The Call of Cthulhu: What if all people of color were insane and in a global cult to evil gooey Gods who live at the bottom of the ocean and also probably drove my mom crazy Cool Air: WebMD, my upstairs roommate lives in a literal fridge, bathes in embalming fluid, and never eats, drinks, or breathes. Should I be concerned? The Colour Out of Space: Eerily prescient (if exaggerated) description of the effects of radiation poisoning offset by HILARIOUSLY stupid-ass ideas about how color works Pickman’s Model: Your buddy turns out to be really good at painting hyper-realistic monsters cause they come into his studio and model for him. You should have guessed, honestly. Nyarlathotep: Okay, hear me out: I’m pretty sure Nikola Tesla is literally Satan. The Shadow Over Innsmouth: Okay, you know what, fish people are SO scary that the scariest thing i could EVER think of is the idea of one fucking my mom, and rather than talk to my therapist about why that’s a recurring anxiety of mine, I’m gonna use it to write a parable about miscegenation. This story will age incredibly well. The Rats in the Walls: Racist-as-fuck Southern slave-owner returns to his old family Priory in England to get in touch with his lordly Anglo-Saxon roots, discovers his family were horrible cannibalistic monsters who farmed people like cattle, and takes an immediate, screaming nosedive into primitive, frothing, raving, flesh-eating insanity. Wait, am I approaching something resembling self-awareness about my horrible racial views? Yuck, better call the cat N*****-Man to even it out The Music of Erich Zann: Crazy old guy in a creepy old room in a creepy old house plays creepy music at a window to appease ?????? (remember to figure this out later!) The Dunwich Horror: Hillbillies are creepy and gross and fuck their sisters and also probably the monsters that drove my mother crazy At the Mountains of Madness: These are my OCs The Elder Things they’re super badass and can bio-engineer new species and fly through space and punch out Cthulhu and do all this crazy shit and they accidentally shit out humans because we’re a stupid cosmic mistake, man and also they made blob monsters to help them build shit who became sentient and unhappy with being slaves so they revolted and killed them all. Will this come across as a weird, gooier precursor to the whole robot ethical dilemma, or just racist again? I’ll worry about it later. Side note: Antarctica scary and bad The Whisperer in Darkness: If someone invites you to experience a new culture, they’re probably going to rip your brain out and stick it in a jar and also they’re fungus aliens from Pluto The Haunter of the Dark: Shockingly, fucking with cult shit in abandoned creepy rooms in abandoned creepy churches after remaining staggeringly oblivious to the obviously terrified locals who are clearly trying to steer you away is NOT a good idea. Who knew?

Now remember, if it don’t use the words gibbous, squamous, rugose, eldritch, gibbering, gelatinous, batrachian, noxious, or polypous, it ain’t Lovecraft. Have fun! And keep a dictionary from at least a hundred years ago handy, as well as a puke bucket for when you get to the extremely racist passages
