I Became a Dark Lord to be Less Socially Awkward 

Wouldn’t that be an adorable twist!

Ok, ok now I want a movie that a dark lord has a son/daughter but they are terrible at the whole scary thing so they instead become the light lord 🤩

It's basically Professor Chaos

The next anime. Preferably better than that Morbius experiment kagurabachi.

The next step is a tsundere Dark Lord.

Emotional damage!

Relatable.

Every runescape player.

Not to mention it was a pretty cool fact

*she

I was honestly watching it and just like "This probably isn't the weirdest thing that guard has seen this week." XDD

@@nicedragon815 unless you know them i think it's impossible to tell. they looked pretty androgynous.

she should've hit the griddy at some point when walking by random people.

The Norwegian royal guard is actually allowed to smile and laugh, even to answer questions from tourists. They're a lot less stern than british ones

It feels like it’s out of a sense of irony or humor instead of creepiness.

hugs dark lord. dark lord consumes soul.

it's the fact that you ain't directly touching the other person

Its because villans need hugs too

Hug from a normal person: Hell no. Hugs from a dark lord: Hell yes!

Technically the second thing is just a version of the first thing.

​@@computergamescritical6917 well not really, socially awkward is awkward in social situations, like socially anxious but awkwardly social is someone who is SO social it turns awkward for everyone else

Vader wears the mask because he’s an introvert

In all seriousness, I think most people who are cool and mysterious IRL just have suppressed social anxiety.

​@@LagMasterSamI can confirm this is true

id like to join your army!!! dar lords: o..oki if you want

@@LagMasterSam That's a nice thought if nothing else, god I hope this is the case :D

and the image of a Dark Lord reading "Klassekampen" (originally a communist newspaper, now largely regarded as just good uality news from what I've heard. The name means: Class Struggle), is art in itself

Just imagine. In a world of magic and adventures, the Dark Lord appears, bringing his army of demons and dark sorcerers. All creatures were afraid, silently hoping that one day a hero would come to this land and fearlessly stand against the Lord. And the day has finally come, when a young man who couldn't stay silent any longer has decided to approach the humanity's greatest enemy. He desperately fought all sorts of minions and Demon Generals and kept getting stronger and stronger as he was slowly coming closer to the Lord's castle. And when the Right hand, the strongest General of all was defeated, he could finally meet the Dark Lord. They were standing in front of each other, silently waiting for the other one to make their move. The man started getting closer, he wasn't just a young and naive boy like years ago, when he had just started his adventure. That is the real hero now, with his beautiful armour, his enchanted sword shining with all the magical energy it contains. Yet, the Dark Lord didn't flinch at all. Their mask kept their emotions hidden, but the straight back and squared shoulders said enough. And as the Hero was in the range of a sword's attack, he stopped. He took something out from his bag and and hand it out in his enemy's direction. Confused, the Lord took it and gazed at it. It was a newspaper. "Would you consider subscribing?" - the man asked, and the Dark Lord with their surprisingly feminine voice answered: "Well, I'll concider it after I read it, I guess..."

@@madkir8206 and this is why we "waste" money on the various arts classes: I enjoyed that read

@@madkir8206 That was beautiful lol thanks

Who

We need brave pioneers that can withstand the social pressure. If you like it, wear it. I love seeing people that wear something interesting :)

And also, it's very practical for rain and mud weather, I want to wear high shoes and leather belt around my cloths, but I can't because they would put me into psychiatric hospital 😀 Women have it easier, they can wear whatever they want and nobody says it's weird. 😀

Mhm, made my own cloak because i wanted one but nowhere to get it, been a fun project with trial and error and experience!

Cloaks are so cool, why did we stop wearing them?

@@Volnas97 she says in her original video. The industrial Revolution and availability of tailored clothing ended up phasing out the need for multipurpose and loose fit clothing.

you never know what happens off camera, buddy. You and I both know norwegians have quite cruel representatives existing among us

Can't be cruel near everyone else it's not really easy to do that...also not many degen teens just go for a walk at a park unless they are assigned something at school or RU-vid

"if everyone's super, no one is"

​@@meh6513the power of grass compells them

They were terrified of the Free Hugs Dark Lord themself

And aren't we all here already introverts ?

Yes we are….Sadly😭

Facts, evil n misunderstood & socially awkward

Sooo Voldemort

thats how their villain arc begins

YUP! I loved the whole theme of the vid she really is all of us on the inside people just need to loosen up and stop being so scared of each other.

​@nervousbabbs2769 society has made us this way by design. Imagine how much stuff they wouldn't sell if we all believed we were fine as we are,

It has built-in consent: People only participate if they want to. And that it’s an established gag makes it more approachable.

Bro is literally analyzing every detail of giving free hugs strategically

Yeah

you gotta chose, it's normal or it's cooler than everyone else

@@korok2619 you got all right

I just think it would be cool to get a group like this and walk around in a mall or something (everything is easier with friends yk)

@@hazinebibogolu7668 ye same. I want to dress like that with some friends and go get snaks or something

​preach

so basically Dr Doofenshmirtz😂

@@TheDrawfeeBraincell I mean like whole I’m barely talking to anyone besides to protagonist and when their forced to they stutter pretty much immediately not knowing what to say

this is some tumblr kinda shit

most of dark lords flying on a dragon and kill people just to stay safe.. coz they had bad experience

Overlord is just a nerd who just happens to make the right decision, so its nearly the same.

pretty awesome moment indeed

my grandma was a hardcore everquest player (mmorpg game) and some other mmorpgs. And she was really open to a lot of newer things, very openminded and she loved things such as this, I'm sure she would love to see this outfit and many more, I wish she could

Awe. That's nice though to hear she was. That's cool. I bet she really is super cool. @@TheDevilishSmile

​@@TheDevilishSmiletrade me 😭😭😭😭😭

I like to think they get flashbacks to their goth days when they were younger, makes the whole thing more wholesome.

"fitting in is the only socially acceptable mode of existence" > Has each half of her hair dyed a different biologically impossible color

Actually, it works… And it's also not a new idea - it was already well explained in "The Introvert Advantage" (Maarti Olsen Laney)

She is genuine modern hero! Not only to herself, but to everyone who is scared to go out and be themselves.

The things she endures for the viewers.

​@@Michael_MW Endures? She obviously likes the attention.

Gets slapped on the shoulder like a bro and falls to the ground 😂

The guy prolly thought she was a dude initially 😭💀

That’s the kind of guy I want to marry.

same@@SleepyHollowKnight

you blind watching a YT vid?

@@Zeesiss I’m not fully blind, blindness is a spectrum so in my case i can see, but some of my friends with visual impairments can’t

buckets 🪣 ❤

I can relate. I feel like if I try I could make an interesting conversation, but the second you put a person around me my charisma drops to negative numbers

actually quite the interesting character dilemma. When the character is born with high charisma stats but finds it draining just interacting with people...man that is good storytelling material honestly

As a homestuck fan I’m scared of buckets

The best part was just the newspaper she read was called what i would translate as "class struggle", fitting into the dark lord mantra

Agreed

@@AllenorLP Thank you for this extra bit. :D It's hilarious!

Yes. I feel like my depression would be healed if I could ever wear something like this. I guess I need to go learn stuff or something, lol, wish me luck😂😅

If I had armour like that I’m pretty sure it would meld to my skin before I COULD take it off

@@Da-choppa godzilla ARG-ass thing to happen

@@bennetthobbitt9847 I ain’t the man in the suit, I’m the lil bitch in the armour 😎

I would love to havr an armor or this level of cosplay yo use

yes, surely those were the only suggestions and she did every single one.

@@DimePwnz Well of course she can't get to every last one, but you can tell that some of what she did do was way out of her comfort zone which is commendable.

To be fair, she probably didn't want to do any of them and we wouldn't have a video otherwise, lol.

Makes me feel so much better about my first sewing projects, thanks! :D

@@CreepyLair there is also a sort of tread they use for testfits, i forgot what it's called but it's a bit easyer to remove. Even with proper preparation things might not always fit as perfect so it's 100% normal to redo things. My mom is a hobby seemstress and my granddad was a professional for a long time. A seemripper is also usefull if you want to copy something you like.

theres always a “if you didnt do (this) at least once, theres smthin up” haha. imo in art its If you havent had art block in a while good luck 😅

@@tresenie How kind, thanks for the info

It hits different when you understand norwegain, bc her accent made it even better

i legit thought you said "butthurt world cup" uhh lol theyre wearing the cup on the wrong side if their anus pains ;)

I need to invest in some 1300’s armor now lol

@@DogFogNog Totally recommend. It's a nice weight training. If armour jogging becomes a common thing, I call dibs for starting the trend.

​@@Tasselhoff88how mich does one normally cost?

Now I need to try that. But where does one acquire that lol

Imagine what went through his mind when he heard the voice lmao

He might still think that it was a young teen to this day. XD

Or the lady that avoided her until she heard her voice and suddenly offered a hug.

@@RaethFennec right? “Oh it’s not a sad edgelord, it’s a girl! Those are not scary!”

Usually one would assume that only dudes would have the lack of self preservation to publicly embarrass themselves in such a way, but Martina here is a pioneer for women everywhere, and we love her for it

That's an amazing idea! It's so brave and also so sweet

And this is why we can't have nice things. As someone who for 50+ years been told by myself and the world I'm a loser and then finding out I'm just bad at being normal and great at being autistic, this bullshit hurts, because you still think I should just get over it. Your training people in MASKING the symptoms, someone like me can 100% be trained in social interactions, but it does not make my LIFE better, it ruins it, as I can either be socially awkward and do other stuff or I can ONLY be not socially awkward and lose the energy to do other stuff. Your presenting a SOLUTION for YOUR benefit, not the person with social anxiety.

One year my new year's resolution was to compliment a stranger every week and it made me a nicer person. I started to always be on the lookout for things that I liked about people. Basically got terminator vision but for cute accessories and cool shirts.

I got a service/assistance dog for social anxiety and she becomes the topic that people approach me with. It creates a bond between me and my dog but also i find other people who are dog lovers like myself. So its easy to talk to random people about special interests

@@miravlix I'm not autistic (or I don't think I am) so it's probably not comparable... I only have social anxiety but I burn a lot of energy trying to talk or even be around other people. However I think this idea is pretty cool because it gives opportunities to get joy out of these interactions in which I have to spend energy anyway. In the end I'm still tired but sometimes I got the chance to connect with someone even just a little. BUT thank you for reminding that something that works for one person usually don't work for everyone and even though this person had the best intentions I'm fully aware of how harmful a person with the best intentions can be

My english teacher very much has a goblin more, shes pretty chill and awesome plus shes a DM so i think that adds to why shes a bit like a goblin sometimes, but she does make sure work gets done lol.

@@lonelyboy9852what does DM mean?

@@cassiesayshi8174 Dungeon Master

😂 Why goblin mode? I feel like I'm missing a lot of information!

@@Crowelephant she's just a bit silly/chill. like you ever just make random sounds when doing a small task like "doo doo doo" or something. it's like that, just silly little things. but during dnd goblin mode is best described as: evil cackling, goofing around more than usual and just vibing in a silly way.

adorable? hell nah, shes dark lord, no one comes close to her sheer power n intimidation

Intriverts, unite! (Eh, uhm, welll...)

But she is not shy or awkward.

Facts

I love everything about this upload including the beautiful ring on your left hand.

As an American living in South Korea I decided the same thing haha. I already get stares for being a foreigner, and being large, might as well dye my hair fun colors and get tattoos!

I dressed goth as a teen. Can confirm that it really helped my social anxiety because then it was obvious why people were looking at me. Now I'm in my mid 30s and I want more tattoos, but I've reached the age of idgaf how/if people look at me.

bro this has changed my life (literally read it like five minutes ago)

I do the same thing😂

Dude, I admired her efforts outta comfort zone, but that history fact was so interesting and so short that it made me rotfl like she told a very good pun!

Fun additional fact - when Zanzibar surrendered the captain of the battleship that shot at the presidential palace presented the Zanzibar government with a bill for the ammunition they had used...

I want a free hug from a dark lord! 🥲

And missing one of her fingers!!

Honestly same bro

In other words, you’re normal. Relating to other people in their situation is an entirely healthy human behavior

​@@Devin7Eleventhey didn't say they weren't normal, just what was the norm for them

Fun fact! Autistic people tend to be considered incapable of empathy by the general public, but we feel second hand embarrassment way more strongly than allistic people, because we actually have an overactive sense of emotional empathy and an underactive sense of cognitive empathy (in general, autistic people are very different from one another)

@@SpiritOfHugs well autism have multiple ways of affecting someone, some indeed are very empathetic but others could indeed be apathetic as the "general public" thinks, its not really a set rule

in some cases, like in this case, a dark lord and a hero can be the same person 😁

@@soapstone420 😁

Honestly, walking around in cosplay on occasion (as long as it’s not the sort to attract the wrong sort of attention) is a great way to get over social anxiety. People tend to be a whole lot nicer. One of my friends did that, while decreasing the extent of her cosplay whenever she felt comfortable, eg swapping a helmet for a wig, wearing a less accurate cosplay etc. it really helped her get used to big groups of people after lockdown ended.

She's an inspiration for all introverts

@@RosinaEmilyW It must feel really empowering. I’m not brave enough lol

The force has strong influence the the weak minded.

Yeah, I would have told absolutely everyone who said anything even mildly positive about it.

I guess she’s not the braggy type I’d brag for hours straight tho

Yeah, I mostly just skipped ahead through those parts.

@@donsample1002 So relatable. I hid my face in my hands and made strange squeaky noises X,) We got some exposure therapy too!

🫣 same same! 😅😂

I had to pause the video a few times and was actually sweating just from watching it.

Wandered, how she removed them after sewing. Do they just come off from below the stitches? Wouldn't this make the sewing very loose?

@@seregruin from how it looked, she sewed between the strips of tape, so it wasn't caught under the stitches and could be removed easily

THIS! i have been trying to sew recently and didn't want to use markers on white fabric

You can use a ruler and chalk especially made for sewing and fabrics. It's just very easy to dust off after sewing. Can be in different colours. I had a white for dark fabric and a pale blue for white fabric. I think "taylors chalk" may be the correct name for it.

@@annwahlstrom149 i used to have some of those but i haven't been able to find them in any store in my country. I have used normal white chalk on darker fabrics but i'm a bit scared to put colored chalk on white fabric

I have watched many of her videos, but I'm impressed by her skills every time 😂

Same!!!!! Honestly it gave me more confidence to make nice costume things in the future. :>

☹️☹️☹️I can't seem to control it even if I know it's in my head

@@katsuki420 tbh the way I changed was me comparing myself to the past me. As a kid I wasn't socially anxious. What changed was my perception. And the fact that I started hating myself for the things my mom would say.

Yes!

I find it easy to be awckward when the situation doesn't require me to perform. It's about accepting that you're weird. It's hard for me when I begin to set expectations on my social skills, which happens during interviews, or just talking with someone who has expectations for me (colleagues, parents, etc.)

No such thing as an ambivert. It's a term coined by extroverts that thought being introverts at times is cool. 😅

I also just saw this video randomly in my feed. This is amazing content

I completely agree. It's like she doesn't try to put on a show but ends up making an incredibly enjoyable performance despite that. Really makes me relate to her and I love how calm it makes me feel.

🙎‍♂🙎‍♂🙎‍♀🙍‍♀🙎‍♂🙎‍♂🙍‍♀🙍‍♀🙎‍♀🙎‍♀🙍‍♀🙍‍♂🙍‍♂🙎‍♂🙍‍♀

Haha I was thinking this too!😂

might be entertaining on camera, but social anxiety is not really all that funny, i've had extreme social anxiety my whole life and I can't even bring myself to answer the door if somebody knocks, I always wait for the mailman to leave after they drop the mail off, etc

@@Xylaax Yea, I didn't mean it in a mocking way or to make light of a potentially serious social impediment. From what I understand, Nordic countries are different socially than other "Western" cultures and not bothering others seems to be a big part of it. Anyway, this video was made for entertainment purposes, so I enjoyed it as intended.

@@BluishGnome yea I figured you didn't mean it in that way, it is quite entertaining on camera though I agree, but I also understand it all too well, I myself can try and put on an act for others but its physically and mentally draining

I guess the trick would be not to turn around the chestpiece. Just turn everything inside out once you're done :)

I mean, there's 5 Million Danes, 10 Million Swedes and 4 Million Norwegians... Now let's deduct all the foreigners with their social cultural behaviors... at 20% That leaves us with 15.2 Million Socially Awkward losers. And as such... I think we should all just join together to bully to conquer the world again, all we need is 15 Million suits of armor, and we could technically start by taking out Europe, it wouldn't be too hard... We can start in the south of Sweden, and dig a massive tunnel, beneath the Baltic Sea, over to Europe, and create a series of interconnected tunnels, crisscrossing throughout Europe, and then we just need that Swedish invention known as Dynamite, to take away all of the support at once, leveling the entirety of Europe in one fell swoop, this also prevents the Germans from starting yet another War... and it also prevents them from trying to turn the world into Germany again by economical means... cough cough EU cough cough... We don't have to worry about Finland, or Russia in this case, they're also socially awkward.

As an American, I loved this comment. Made me laugh.

seconded by a swede. I mean, when the social distancing "six feet apart" rule was lifted about my reaction was to go back to my ordinary ten feet 😉

Hahaha don't worry Dane I will be arriving with all the akward American nerdiness this fall for a very limited time however

and when Norwegians hear Danish, they recoil in disgust
