2024 Chiss Survey Results!

You probably thought I forgot (maybe I did...) but remember how I had Chiss fans do a survey back in November? Here's the results!

Starting with demographics, we had 262 people take the survey this year. Weirdly, we did not have a single person who took the survey who was born in 1991. Only about 1/3 of participants came from Twitter this year (Twitter has previously been the biggest source) and about half came from here on Tumblr! As always, we had a very high percentage of both Bi/Pan people as well as Asexual people take the survey. More single people took the survey this year. Participants tend to be from The United States or Europe but we're scattered all over!

We had two people take the survey who have been with Thrawn since day 1, but most of you got into thrawn in the last 5-10 years. Readership for both canon and Legends was up.

Thrawn 2017 was the top ranked book again but Thrawn: Treason surpassed Lesser Evil this year. A Eli Vanto in the Ascendancy book is still the top choice for a new Thrawn-related book. People were almost evenly split on the pupiless/pupiled Chiss debate.

Thranto is the most popular ship, followed by no ships, Samakro, Ar'alani, and Pellaeon. 59% of people ranked Thranto as their #1 ship. Eli Vanto is also the most popular non-Thrawn character, followed by Ar'alani and Thrass.

Chiss fans are still pretty active both in the Chiss fandom itself as well as outside of it. 14% of fans have met Timothy Zahn, which is double what we saw last year. We also had a bigger percentage of people report doing art and writing than in previous years.

Please let me know if you have any questions or want me to do more of a deep dive on something, and here's a link to the slide deck if you find it easier to look at it on there! Thank you again to everyone who participated, although I dragged it out I do really love looking at these results and what everyone says!

[echoreadsbsdfics]

I have decided that I am going to play a game with the characters from my latest fic which is in progress instead of continuing to write chapter two. This includes canon characters and Ocs. If you wanna know the actual hero/vilian outfits you'll have to wait. Jack is an oc made by @softmeetscreatureplz The game is below the cut bc of how long it is.

Dazai: What game are we playing? Me: Guess the identity of certain people, I give you all a hero or villain and you have to guess their identity, however if you get it wrong you get locked up until I make you play something again! Flame: And why should we play? Me: Because I can kill you off with a click of my fingers. Flame: … Me: Okay so, Nakaharas you gettttttt Void!! Chuuya: Why does it have to be that prick? Miyo: Vod? Ryuunosuke: Mama, let's just play, it doesn't matter if it's Void, it's a game. Gin: Nodding silently Q: Do we get a photo or…? Me: Of course. *Photo of a man who is 5'11 with fluffy brown hair and bandages all over him) Miyo: Dazie! Chuuya: Are you sure you wanna pick Dazai? Ryuunosuke, Q and Gin: *Silently watching* Miyo: Yes! Chuuya: We're going with Dazai Me: Are you sure you wanna go with what a five year old says? Chuuya, Gin, Q and Ryuunosuke: Nodding in time with each other Yes Me: Alright, congratulations one point for the nakaharas Miyo: Yay!! Me: Okay, Dazai and Ty, who is Sorrow? Dazai: Sorrow as in the most wanted villain in the country Sorrow? Me: Yes. Dazai: How are we meant to know? That veil he has has gems in it so it blocks our view of his face and reflects light so no camera can catch even a glimpse of his face. Ty: It's Chuuya. Dazai: No it's not! Ty: It is, his voice and his height and build is the same and Sorrow always smells like the coffee from Chuuyas cafe which is why you complain about fighting him since you can never get over to the stray dogs cafe before it closes due to our shift times. Dazai: … Dazai: Is he right? Me: Yep. Dazai: Screeching like a new born baby Me: Jackkkkkk? Jack: looks up and then looks back at his book Me: If you play I'll set up for you and Ty to have your own slow burn romance novel. Jack: Closes the book What's the game? Me: You guess the identity of the person I give you. Jack: Alright. Me: Your person is Torch. Jack: Ty. Me: … Me: How did you? Jack: You don't need to know. Me: I don't want to know. Me: Kunikida!!! Kunikida: What is it, Echo? Me: It's simple, you're playing this game. Kunikida: Who's my person? Me: Hellhound. Kunikida: Do I get a hint? Me: He already participated in one of the first two rounds. kunikida: Nakahara Ryuunosuke. He is the only teen that fits the physical definition of Hellhound. Me: I thought this was gonna be harder for all of you. Me: Wait if you knew why haven't you arrested them yet!? Heroes: Shrugs Me: Fucking dumbasses.

Flame: What about me? Me: Oh, right you exist. Flame: Hurry up. Me: Beast Flame: is it that kid with white hair that's hugging that kid with black hair? Points at Atsushi who is hugging Akutagawa Me: Yes...

Atsushi: Looks up, confused Huh? Me: Use protection Atsushi: HUH!? Ryuunosuke: Extremely flustered Yosano: Whos my one? Me: Ah, Golden. Yosano: As in my wife? Me: Yep. Me: Kouyou, your turn. Kouyou: If it's my wife I will win. Me: No, it's Mara. Kouyou: There's no villain or hero by that name? Me: Its something one of Sorrows know associates are called however they have never been on scene Chuuya: Coughing and trying not to panic Kouyou: Do I get a hint? Me: Yes. She's adorable and you know her. Kouyou: Adorable and I know her? Kouyou: Miyo...? Chuuya: Nodding silently while trying to hide his panic Dazai: Staring at them in shock Me: Okay everyone! Now that we're done, your memories are gonna be wiped so we don't mess up the plot. Dazai: You never said anything about that! Me: I didn't think I'd have to. Flame: Evil woman Me: Thank you <3 Flame: That wasn't a compliment. Me: I know. ^^

LOTUSPEAR 5K DTIYS RESULT‼️‼️

ok i'm an entire month late but here are the results of this competition at last!! i would like to preface this by saying a big thank you to everyone who participated as this was my first time doing smt like this! i'm so glad it was met w so much participation and unique entries, and i genuinely cannot express enough gratitude for the ppl who submitted their version. seeing everyone's individual posts w the diverse amount of art styles and mediums was so cool and i loved each post sm!! so thank you for participating and for your support!! it really does mean the world to me!!

with that, without further ado, let me announce our winners...

FIRST PLACE: @latapadraws

I WAS ABSOLUTEY BLOWN AWAY BY NOT ONLY THE COMPOSITION BUT THE LIGHTING OF THIS PIECE. REALLY. MY JAW IS STILL ON THE FLOOR LOOKING AT IT. the warm golden and red glow like evening rays of sun is so gorgeous not to mention dazai's musing expression. hes soo beautiful in your style op he looks like he was carved from marble. so elegant and sharp.

SECOND PLACE: @thornedarrow, specifically @velaversal

bea oh my god i still get heart eyes whenever i see this. the fuchsia is so gorgeous it looks like whorls of fire and the marble effect of the background is so ethereal. the color palette and rendering in general just astounds me, i feel like i'm on another plane of existence looking at this.

THIRD PLACE: @kokoasci

koko!!!!! i'm always enamored by translucent feel of your pieces and it always looks like rose-tinted glass, i always want to break off a piece and let it melt on my tongue bc it looks so sweet and sugary. said this in the tags but the background also was incredible and dazai kind of reminded me of the mad hatter!! the coy expression, the dramatic pose, the whimsical pastel color palette, the tea spilling from the porcelain cups...100/10 for mood and storytelling

FOURTH PLACE: @sableeira

SABLEEEE OH MY GOD......LIKE WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN.......THIS WAS SUCH AN OUT OF BOX WAY TO LOOK AT THE OG PIECE.....AN ENTHRALLING INTERPRETATION. dazai being haunted by his former self, conveyed through the earthy color palette and dramatic lighting that ties the entire piece together. literally was blown away by how unique this entry was, absolutey incredible

FIFTH PLACE: @shrimpkini

shrimp i'm being so honest rn i want this as a poster and i want it hung on my wall bc my heart still stops every time i look at it. the hard light that casts dazai's entire face into shadow which highlights the red of his eye makes me rattle the bars of my cage every single time, not to mention the rimlight on his entire frame basking the piece is an eerie glow. phenomenal play of lighting. i'm swept off my feet.

WINNERS FOR THE @ultimate-submas-tournament ROUND 2!

again, this will contain some silly commentary to poke fun! just like last time, a link to the polls will be put on the first word of the commentary!

so, because it is still rather long, drawings under the cut!

INGO BRACKET

oh... perhaps it would have been prudent to fuse that with something to increase its durability...

LOUD SOUND EFFECT WARNING

o7 you do not want to know how long this took

dad Ingo and the woodsman agreed to forfeit, but when dad Ingo did manage to, injury share Ingo collapsed, marking the woodsman as the winner. Whoop!

because of all this art being done with them i just... can see them as anything but kind to one another. a spar between them though...

Warden Ingo fainted! ltot Ingo is having a Moment but at least Emmet finds it funny!

TRAINS ARE FASTER THAN HORSES YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS INGO

EMMET BRACKET

Ok, so cst (chad stasis twin) effect does have some drawbacks...

WHO GAVE HIM A SUPER SOAKER

Are you not entertained?

Braking news: otherworldly parasite beats up cartoon character. more at 11

HEL-

Not even manga Emmet's autism power could compare...

AND THAT'S THE END OF IT!

super bravo to all the aus who made it this far! and to those moving on to the third round, good luck!

[ranchthoughts]

Hi again everyone. Thank you for participating in my lengthy series of polls.

I have another follow-up poll, this one for the poll "What was the first show you wrote meta for?" . People don't always write meta for currently airing shows and I wanted to see whether the chronological spikes in meta writing coincided with the shows of the last poll.

Please feel free to indicate which show you first wrote meta for in the tags or comments! I'm curious

[giggly-squiggily]

Thank you again to everyone who participated! Here's Zora for your viewing pleasure

hehehe- TWO Zoras! :D

Y'all they look the same help-

[septembersghost]

some of you have leaned so hard into your utterly empty, intellectually devoid, frivolous language that masquerades as progressive radicalism and sociological purity testing that you have fallen all the way into dehumanization and condemnation of the "other" to prove from behind your screens that you have joined the "correct side" of what is tantamount to hardline dogmatic thinking. if you suppress individual thought, compassion, open discussion, and malign the free press, you are not a progressive, you are a functional conservative in a different outfit. if you have decided that your abstract language and frothy ideals should be elevated above actual human life, and are using said language to divorce it from humanistic approaches to others and concern for their welfare, or worse, are using it to actively harass and frighten them, you are, in fact, the very enemy you claim to be fighting, and you should not be trusted, because your philosophies are built upon sand and will shift with the tides to make sure you are not affected by the damage that you do.
