I have googled:
- bipolar disorder
- modern torture methods (don't ask why)
- blue waffle disease
- translated rotten into Japanese (hint: it's 腐った)
- meatstick (thanks for making me curious @Neivn )
- genital anatomy
- how to draw vaginas
while writing/worldbuilding/drawing/whatever ?
like. you know when your writing and youre like 'hey would it make sense for this character to wear this outfit' but then somehow it ends up with you 6 feet deep in ancient greek fashion and customs . or sometimes its just 'how much and how effective would gasoline be to burn down a whole office building please im not an arsonist im just writing'
yall get what i mean right. righ
ANYWAYS i really like hearing about weird things people have researched for oc/writing stuff, just know that if it's something sensitive, black it out like this or put it under a spoiler tag
both the above are things ive done and lemme tell you. the gasoline thing wouldnt work irl but who cares it looks COOL in the story, or at least thats what i like to think. also i cant draw ancient greek outfits so im still here with one of my characters wearing period-inaccurate clothing
edit: aaaaaand of course i get the ic posting glitch . cant believe ramiel is google searching about arson
Probably not as uncanny as most of the posts here, but I had to searched for a lot of stuff about alcohol when developing Olivier. Which felt pretty weird, given that I don't drink at all. (Fun fact: I just hate the taste. No moral/health/legal reasons behind this lmao)
So yeah, it ranged from medical stuff like the consequences of alcoholism on your overall health to more legal stuff such as the history of legal drinking age i my country... During my research I also came across details about the legal drinking age in the US and I was actually pretty shocked because I didn't imagined that it was that strict? :")
So yeah, my conclusion here, if I have done my research properly, is that Olivier isn't really doing anything illegal given his time period. If his story took place nowadays, though, he would be breaking the law only for buying alcohol while being under 18, not for consuming it. If he was living in the US tho, his actions would be super illegal and he could go to jail?
More generally speaking, the "weirdest" stuff I research for my OCs are usually theology or history-related... Sorry, no cool murder tips today :(
In this order this is off the top of my head o3o I know I've googled weirder though
1.) seductive names that start with z
2.) Japanese kanji for "master"
3.) Crystal candy gore and plant gore
4.) Male funny swimsuit
5.) How to color and shade blood on firealpacca
6.) Are yandere serial killers a thing
HONESTLY I wish I kept a track of all the things I google because even out of research they're super funny and/or ominous like how I used the hospital computer with "vladimir putin height" "donal trump height" and lastly "serial pooper finland 2018" (that was a real thing) and I couldn't help but think what would the next user think if they saw my search history lmao
- which ear is the gay ear
- list of hazing deaths
- student cult
- how much blood until you die
- Livestock branding (it's called "burning marking" in Finnish which makes it sound more morbid)
- branding iron how hot
- men's underwear history
some of these are pretty mundane compared to others' search histories but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- what happens if you eat straight yeast
- where is hitler from?
- why does one potato sound like too little food (i was pretending to be one of my OCs who eats too much food)
- tiger parenting
- fermi paradox
Hmmm... well, I’ve searched quite a few things recently...
-How much does a 80mg pill of Oxycodone sell for?
-How much does a kidney/brain/heart/liver cost?
-How to successfully waterboard someone. Is it legal?
-Drugs that deteriorate the human body from inside out— Aka, the flesh eating drug called Krokodil.
