A Refreshing Morning and Ruthless Bans
Today's morning was incredibly refreshing. Even though I'd drunk a ton last night, my stomach felt fine—not bloated at all—and on top of that, Noona had gone to work early, so she didn't pinch my cheeks.
Plus, the mala tang noodles I had for breakfast-slash-lunch were delicious, and the moment I logged into Pajijik to start streaming, I got a notification for hitting 500 followers. My mood was through the roof. The problem was that while checking that alert, I ended up looking at the other messages from yesterday too.
"This asshole..."
Unbelievable. Senior? What a load of crap. This guy's the one forming a trash streamer cartel to simp out, and he's giving me advice?
I know ignoring these types with the block-and-delete is usually best, but I couldn't stomach him causing chaos in my stream, getting banned, and then mental-gymnasting his way out.
Sending that felt like hacking up ten-year-old phlegm. I wanted to say, "You shitty bastard, stop clinging and just stream properly," but that would've given him ammo to play victim.
"He won't flip out over that, right? I said it as nicely as possible."
He's a grown adult, been streaming about a year—surely he won't spout nonsense?
"Ugh, whatever. Screw it."
I lightly slapped my cheeks, pulled my chair in close, and hit the stream start button.
Stream Title | 【Day 4】 Woke up to 500 Followers!
- lmaoooo the greatest hit ever
- Taste in music is spot on
Talk | 38 viewers | Stream time 01:09
They love it that much, so everyone must be an Yiru fan for sure! There were some harsh words here and there, but Gallery folks express affection that way—it's intense, but whatever.
Now that the stream was live, I was in the middle of one of the biggest injustices of my life.
"No joke, guys—I seriously saw a seagull the size of an LPG gas canister."
- I looked up and met Thor, said hi
- Whoa I went to the sea and met Poseidon
- Is this ancient Greek mythology club?
I was seriously wronged. I saw it while on guard duty in the army, damn it...
"Argh, I really saw it! I swear!"
- Yeah yeah, sure. Gas-canister seagulls exist, got it.
"It's not 'yeah yeah'—it really... ugh, whatever."
Honestly, mentioning army guard duty might make them believe me a bit, but bringing up the military as a girl now? Nothing good would come of it.
"It was real, but what do you guys know..."
- lololol voice is sooo cute
- Riee don't be upset, I saw a pterodactyl pigeon once
- I saw a centaur
I wanted to smack them. Why were their words so infuriating? But there was nothing I could do, so I endured the mockery and kept reading chat. But what if I pull out this game here?
- Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry
- What's everyone saying? Gas-canister seagulls exist tho?
Stop please, I'm sorry, I surrender unconditionally!
"Okay, okay. Everyone admits gas-canister seagulls exist now, right?"
You gotta smack 'em around like this sometimes to make them listen. Admit it quick, and no one gets hurt.
- Yeah yeah fuck it, gas-canister seagulls and dragons exist
- Heart was pounding like crazy the second Yiru popped up
"You guys liking it makes me happy."
- Happy? You sure about that?
I grinned at the chat, feeling great. Back in my mod days, I'd delete trolls and they'd swarm with alts—but now, one word from me and they tremble. Kinda thrilling.
Anyway, stream's been on for an hour already... Time for games? Continue the visual novel from yesterday?
"Thinking of playing a game now—continue Sina route from yesterday? Looks like about 3 hours to the ending."
- Two plums again
- Off to see Prof. Sina's massive udders~
- Milk cow girl (real cow)
A few chats that'd get banned if Noona were here, but I gotta let some slide—ban everything like rats and the stream gets too harsh. I clicked the game icon.
"Alright, starting the game... "
Doesn't the same game for 2 days get boring?
What the...? Even low-tier trolls wouldn't say that. I blankly checked the donor name.
Anonymous Donor (Sparking Mage 3917)
Who? Default nickname, so probably just a random troll kid?
- Ignore and go go go
- Just do it?
"Not boring at all, don't worry! Let's start!"
Screen switched, and there were the furry girls I still couldn't get used to. Fox ears or cow horns, fine—but skin color? Come on...
- Fr the queen cow girl (talking size)
- dev made prof a cow for a reason
Viewers love it, so whatever.
"Picking up from yesterday: army unit storming the lab."
No idea why an army unit raids a university lab. It just happened mid-game. Everything going smooth until...
Just doing protagonist voiceover and freeloading, right?
That same guy. First time, maybe new viewer, so no ban—but this is deliberate trolling.
"Haa..."
- Flow's totally fucked
- Argh just ban the fucker, talks too much
- Fr
"Same donor as before—if you think I'm freeloading, just don't watch!"
I said it casually and lightly clicked the mouse.
Admin Message: Sparking Mage 3917 has been blinded.
"Thanks for the 1,000 KRW and watching—bye!"
I thought Gallery trolls got wiped out day one by Noona—why show up today?
Deep down, I suspected one of Yaru's crew on an alt. Suspicious timing right after the DM, obvious intent. Too coincidental.
"Alright, quick bug squashed—back to it. Hype up!"
- Lmaooo the way she says it
- Hype uuuup~
- Totally insane bitch vibes
Gallery vets have immunity to this level of trolling, so vibe bounced back soft and squishy quick. A normie would've bailed at the first stiff moment.
Sian seemed reluctant but agreed. A trash streamer just 4 days in pulling 300+ avg viewers? Bullshit—she must've spammed ads on Broadcast Gallery behind the scenes.
"Alright. See you at collab later. Nail it, and hyung'll send chicken for your high school grad gift."
Kept him for Gallery pics, but can't even fill sound now—time to ditch?
Too many annoying things lately. Trash bitch ignoring me outright, and when I tried cozying up to Danbi on that big collab server, the quick bitch told me to stop contacting.
"Fuck, so goddamn annoying..."
She probably deleted all my DMs—should I just drop a sniper post? All her viewers are Gallery randos anyway—they'd bail quick.
