There was a very hyper reviewer on yesterday's entry which led me to finding this entry.

i can't deal with how often people in this story seem to screech "lindsey nichole starchy!!" also what an annoying sounding name

[jaydestarlight]

Lindsey Nichole doesn't bother me but her last name is so strange that it's a little jarring.

[indigoneutrino]

I feel like she should have cousins with the last names Carby and Glucosey. Or it's one of those adjective surnames and they're trying to say she's made out of pasta or something.

[jaydestarlight]

That's exactly what I thought!

That avatar is Vanellope from Wreck-it Ralph, not an anime character.

What is even going on in this story? All I'm getting out of it is "Yell yell yell. Whine whine whine. Lindsey Nichole Starchey! Oh look, brief mention of the canon characters. 'Everybody hates me for reasons that are never explained! Feel sorry for me!'"

[yemi_hikari]

The fact people hate her for no explained reason really bothers me. Actually... I've read the story and there is a reason why everyone doesn't like her. She's got some serious social problems going on. I doubt though that is the reason the writer wants everyone to hate her. I think she has them hate her just because she wants the readers to sympathize with her character. Funny how everyone loves her once she gets to school.

Starchy isn't an English last name though. If the author had done research into common English last names, she would have found plenty of them. This is like turning around and telling somebody that your actual last name is Guise- as in the old ducal titles- Henri de Lorraine, duc de Guise for example? A lot of people writing for one of the French literature fandoms I am in don't do their research into French nobility and seem to think that Guise or Condé are actual last names- which they are not

I did read to the end of the chapter. The Sue whines about how the people around her are so bad but the only reason she hung out with Grace was because she was rich and popular and then Grace decided to no longer be friends because our Sue decided to act like a spoiled brat and demand that she get her way. And yeah... her parents have problems but to me their situation is a bit different from the Dursley situation as they're having to deal with a girl who goes around beating up people when they make her mad. They're exasperated and take their frustration out on her and it goes over her head that the reason they keep reacting negativly is because of her poor behavior.

I personally think the Sue is the big bad bully at school. I've come across cases where the bully thinks they're the one being bullied because nobody wants to be their friends. Best case scenario someone decides to be their friend and intervenes. However, this works best with younger kids. The older they get the less likely it will work as bad habits are hard to break. In the long run they never come to understand that people don't want to be their friends because they are as cruel as they are.

I find it disturbing that she claims Ben has a crush on her and not Grace despite the fact she beat him up in the previous chapter and he tried to have his friends get her. Chances are if she's sitting by the bus monitor it isn't to protect her from being bullied, it is to protect the other kids.
