Fastest Growing Fandoms on AO3 This Week (10/14/2024)

Every week I pull data on how many fics are in each fandom and compare to the previous week, then calculate the percentage increase to determine fastest growing fandoms. Since this naturally skews towards smaller fandoms, I have included the same data filtered to Over 1k, 5k, & 10k fics.

Overall:

Over 1,000 Fics:

Over 5,000 Fics:

Over 10,000 Fics:

I wanted to get a head start on palasaki week and now I’m building out a reverse AU. why do I keep doing this to myself I can’t keep starting new stuff without finishing the old stuff 😭

#anyway they meet at wellesley #ik st hilarions is fictional and I could’ve gone that route but hwc’s are right there #and honestly I needed to explain how Crystal is attending a school in the 1910s period #like she’s coming from money but she’s still a black woman in America yk #so I needed a school that admitted black women of upper classes #and is also religious and has an international students program in the 80s #and has a body of water on/near campus #and wellesley fit the bill !#haven’t decided if they base the agency out of Boston bc of proximity or nyc #since I’m saying Crystal’s from nyc #can’t decide if her parents are rich in black society or are passing in upper middle class white society #bc unfortunately this is an era where these details are vvv important in terms of if/where Crystal could go to school #plus a lot of her parents hippy-esque traits in canon just don’t translate historically #like there were all of 27 babies named Crystal in the US in 1900 #idk race is just such a big part of American history that you can’t not address it when switching the characters around #including Niko!!!#they’re both still dead for hate crimes but now we’ve got race tensions in the mix #for reference I’m trying to write little one shots from each of the prompts so all this is completely overkill #but this is just how my brain works ig #palasaki #palasaki week #dead boy detectives #dbda #dead boy detective agency #crystal palace #crystal palace surname von hoverkraft #niko sasaki

Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1964)

"Miriam? He really... isn't here, is he? Just now, I thought I heard... sometimes at night, when I wake up, it seems as if he really is here. Don't turn on the light. It's not real when it's light. It's only real when it's dark - dark and still."

#hush...hush sweet charlotte #hush...hush‚ sweet charlotte #robert aldrich #1964 #american cinema #lukas heller #henry farrell #bette davis #olivia de havilland #joseph cotten #agnes moorehead #cecil kellaway #victor buono #mary astor #wesley addy #william campbell #bruce dern #george kennedy #frank ferguson #frank de vol #Aldrich's follow up to Baby Jane reunited him with star Davis (and initially Crawford‚ until she left the project under a cloud; she can #just about be glimpsed in one of the long shots of cousin Miriam arriving at the house by taxi) and even provides a cameo for Baby Jane co #star Buono. the rest of his cast is also notably starry: de Havilland‚ Cotten‚ Moorehead‚ even a genuine cinematic legend like Astor not to #mention a pre fame Dern and Kennedy. sadly all that increased star power doesn't translate to a film even better than its predecessor #this is solid‚ a strong and sweaty gothic grotesquerie‚ but it's a little flabby and nowhere near as sharp or as honed as Baby Jane was #Davis often goes very large and brushes caricature more than once with her faded Southern belle but to give her her dues there are other #moments of true heartbreaking beauty in her performance. de Havilland is also very strong altho maybe tips her hat a little soon in #revealing the true personality lingering beneath the surface of her mysterious outsider. Aldrich is as strong as ever helming a killer #fantasy sequence... tbh the more i think about it the kinder my memory of this becomes. it has just one main flaw and that's that it isn't #Baby Jane. but then what is? Aldrich never quite hit those heights again (tho he did some p great work) and this is a commendable try

are you looking for something new to read? do you like negative character development? the most fridged woman of all time? inconsistent magic? a world where being straight is illegal? the funniest dialogue you will ever read? the most annoying b plots you will ever read? plot twists that take your breath away? pacific rim? pages and pages of car facts being forced down your throat? heinous amounts of mild gore? never getting the emotional fulfillment you crave as a reader? nineteen books and counting for no good reason? then why not try skulduggery plea-- [gunshots and when the smoke clears I'm lying dead on the ground]

#it was me i shot myself before i could fully recommend them 😔#i finished a mind full of murder and oh the thoughts i have. but it was good. most of them are good #says kenna #skulduggery pleasant #skulduggery pleasant spoilers #for what im about to say:#getting goddamn kittens to fill the void left by your goddamn daughter that you won't fucking talk to?? the words i have for you you bitch #(/affectionate)#one thing landy does right is how often americans say goddamn #i love his american characters so much #the dude who almost got his shit rocked by valkyrie for saying ireland is part of great britian... real #'im sorry but it's not like we have a giant clock over here like you people do' tears. in my eyes #also i like men and women the being straight is illegal is a joke about how everyone is bisexual for some reason #also also these are things are all things i love about the series im not a hater this is my 3rd favorite series of all time #i would like to finally stopped getting teased about skulduggery's past but it's honestly funny atp #how staunchly valkyrie's like 'well thats not my business so i wont ask'

I have nothing deeper to say about it, but I like seeing the echoes of Max Payne in Control’s Zachariah Trench (both voiced by the incredible James McCaffrey). The line in one of Trench’s hotline - “The roses I pruned in the garden back when I still had a family, all dead.” - always make me think back to the second Max Payne nightmare sequence of “I killed them. My wife. My baby. I shot them. I buried them under the rose bush in the backyard.” Whether that exact quote similarity was intentional, there’s something fun in Remedy’s repetition of this particular character/noir role in the story, how each are different characters but overlap in so many ways

#it’s also that classic ‘Perfect American suburban family life with something sinister below the surface’#that u see in a lot of media. bluevelvets opening shot with the roses is the one I immediately think of but it’s not uncommon lol #I’m a sucker for the drama of the over-the-top noir lines in all of these games. the more gloomy and dramatic the better!#McCaffrey’s acting is unforgettable. what a performance #I’m not tagging this bc idk if people read this but man. so many thoughts always on this game #mainly me emotionally going ‘holy shit this rules’

Well, I now know what original story I'll be writing for Freedom February ...

👀🤖⛓️‍💥

Can't wait for people who use l33tspeak or are greek mythology nerds to immediately realize what is happening with the lore and are excited to see how it plays out.

#Freedom February #very VERY long rambly tags to follow #“robot slave rebellions are boring and cliche” -- maybe if you're not interested in writing interesting thought-provoking stories of #solidarity and intersectionality and caring about people who are different from yourself and actually talking #about the actual reality of what a future with enslaved sentient disposable people would look like for the robots AND the oppressed people #who are all going to be laboring under the hell that is capitalism turned up to 100? That we're already seeing glimpses of now #with AI replacing creatives at every turn and forcing people out of jobs to starve on the streets? Of “algorithims” victimizing and #traumatizing people who are being paid cents on the hour by american companies to moderate the most horrific content known to man???#If robots and AIs became sentient beings who exactly do you think is going to be the ones standing side by side with them???#it called all the other oppressed people who are treated like theyre not even human because they're of a different social class or #have a different skin color or speak a different language or werent born in a certain country #“robot slave rebellion” writtren in 2024-onwards is all going to be about solidarity and intersectionality #between the enslaved robots and the oppressed people who are kept downtrodden by the billionaires and upperclasses #This long ramble + my original idea are inspired by both #my delight at the transformers *fandom* actually doing something with Megatron being “evil” because he led a slave revolt against slavers #and also my ire at a peticular book series which had so much potential and shot itself in the foot #by repeatedly demonizing enslaved people and repeating the racist rhetoric #that enslaved people- if freed- will immediately violently enact slavery on their previous owners -- aka reverse racism in a nutshell!!!!#thats now how it works and if youre insiting it is in 2024 sorry but youre part of the problem'

Slllliiiiiides over here. Hi hello. I don't think I'll do a bad karma run (IM SORRY. IM SORRY!!) cause a) I'm a wimp and b) I need to get off videogames as soon as I'm done cause I've spent too much time playing lately lmao BUT I will be watching playthrougs cause I gotta know how fucked up he gets.... I gotta know...

To clarify i have a pre existing oc from a story that could be very easily flung into a vat of "au juice" because she's already halfway there in her own cannon LMAO we shall see, for now I have a huge list of things I want to draw for this game so I gotta finish 2 before I explode then I can unleash myself on art again. Gotta feed the discord now. I'm cooking for a crowd.

hi i've been dead for 8 days and recuperating for two lol I understand life stuff (and saw some references to it on your timeline, like the warhammer stuff and the tarot card thing??? bro that shit looks so good!!) as someone that literally shared your stuff and then got ripped away for my own life happenings lmfao. But if you get the chance in the future? Seriously, try an evil karma inF2 run. There's something about how they balanced the story that puts its predecessor AND sequel to shame. They're the same story, but different tales. They have the same goal, but different goalposts. SPP gives you a well-thought-out storyline that both is cohesive, but feels like your choices actually matter. It has none of the "I can help this old lady...or kick her fucking dog lol" of inFAMOUS 1, or the "I will fight for the tribe but literally do everything wrong. everywhere. because I'm a Bad Boy™" of inFAMOUS: Second Son. The choices feel real. They feel sound. They feel like the choices a man wronged by the world would make, if he decided to turn to his harbored resentment instead of his morality. And let's be honest, Cole also feels more morally gray in inF2 than 1 anyways, so seeing the path he takes is great because it genuinely feels like he's done with the accumulation of every shitty situation that has happened to him. And I'm sure you know how the story ends now, so...don't you wanna see what happens if he chose the other option? (pls tell me you haven't watched the playthrough yet lmfao)

Anyways yeah no I totally get life shit, it loves to pull you away from stuff, and also as someone only just now trying to do the bad options in Detroit: Become Human despite getting the game at launch because I need 6 years of preparation to be the bad guy, I understand the wimp bit too. It's hard to be mean sometimes. But with Cole's inF2 story, it doesn't feel mean. It feels like a desperate man, trying to fight for a future he's not convinced cares about him.

And yes oh my god please keep creating lmfao we all love your art so goddamn much. Don't leave this fandom you're now a very important asset. And it's always a good thing, throwing old friends into new situations! I love an OC in a wardrobe change. That's usually the best translation. Think a bit harder about forcing that OC into a new role. Shove her ass onto the stage. We'd all love her.

#infamous #infamous 2 #Cole MacGrath #bro i will scream about this fucking game from the rooftops nonstop it's the best one outta them all.#genuinely the only game i've ever played the bad guy in and went 'yeah okay i'd do that irl too'#versus vomitting when picking the asshole options in other games lmfao. i cannot be mean.#momma ain't raise no bitch but she DID raise an overthinking goody two shoes #seriously tho i love your art and pleASE keep at it. and good luck with the warhammer thing!! 32 minifigs is a LOT i do not envy you #will say you're the ONLY person I know who likes Kuo!! Which is so funny watching you integrate into the fandom talking so well about her #when I have like 3 friends I know that have made up instances in fics/hc just to kill her ass. everyone hates her lmfao #anyways you're aussie and i am an american about to sleep so. todaloo kangaroo.#also i do NOT have the inFAMOUS comics illegally on a google drive. How could you ask that? I know you wanted to read them but my god #I can't believe you'd think I have pirated material that I'd willingly distribute if you shot me a message (👀)

bill hader wins the prize for being the first person to ever make me spontaneously yell 'oh you're fucking KIDDING me' at the penultimate frame of a tv finale

#barry #barry spoilers #(in the tags at least TAG RANT)#that final bit of text in the mask collector #barry being buried at ARLINGTON CEMETERY WITH FULL HONORS #are you fucking KIDDING me #the actual perfect cherry on top of the shit sundae #TO BE CLEAR #I mean this all extremely positively #the finale was a PERFECT encapsulation of the themes of the show #the fetishization of the US military leading to barry being absolved of all his sins while cousineau goes to prison #essentially for the crime of being self centered #barry - being a marine - appears on the outside to be selfless and self sacrificing #cousineau is seen as being the greedy selfish one #when barry is THEE most selfish of them all #he is ready to die for his son yes but he was only ever *maybe* going to turn himself in once he realized sally and john were truly gone #and even then I'm not convinced he wouldn't have shot cousineau and his friend to get out of there #but barry is draped in medals and honors because his narrative could be - and was - transformed into a paragon of american masculinity #and his son SMILES because he gets to believe his dad was a hero #BILL HADER I'M CHEWING THE POWER CABLES IN YOUR HOUSE #and the good side of 'traditional masculinity' still being present!!!!#it's not all bad!!!!#barry was ready to kill everyone to protect his family BUT fuches covered john with his body #barry and fuches let each other go #fatherhood is a unifying and soothing thing - or it CAN be #fuches covered in tattoos with a bevvy of terrifying manly criminals giving hank an out through vulnerability #and hank saying 'no I gave up my whole world to hold on to the role they want me to play'#'so just kill me and let me die in my man's arms'#THE THEMES ARE INTRICATE #anyway none of this is coherent but I needed to scream

#protests #france #just me rambling #i'm getting real tired of those posts being like ''in the US we cant protest like the french do cuz we get violently repressed''#it is undeniable!! i am not arguing with the fact your riots got stifled very violently. it fucking sucks #but we ALSO do!! The french government literally got denounced by the UN for its use of weapons and ultra-violence against protesters #just a couple days ago there was a huge protest against an installation that would ruin us ecologically #in a continuation to the pension protests #the cops fired 4000 grenades in two hours.#several of those aimed directly at protestors. which is illegal and very dangerous and can KILL #40 heavily wounded. two people are between life and death.#someone lost an eye. a journalist got hit by a grenade in the leg and is gonna be out of work for 2 months.#one is still in a coma. it's been five days. he might die.#it took two hours for the ambulance to get there for him cuz it got blocked by the cops. which is extremely illegal. but they're cops.#and this is one protest but it's like that all the time #last week a woman got her thumb torn off by a grenade shot directly at her #there literally is a recurring joke among cops about 'losing hands' cuz of the sheer amount of ppl who got theirs torn off like this #i sympathize with americans your cops are fucking nightmares.#but so are ours. we get beaten up and mangled and killed. but we're still out there #stop pretending we only riot the way we do cuz we have it easy. i'm legit going to kick your ass #i didn't distribute eye drops to my fellow teargassed protestors last week in my tiny ass city to be told we play on easy mode #anyway. grabbing my medic kit and going out to protest again in an hour. what will You do?

Messiah of Evil (Dead People, 1974)

"Hard to remember back on things... but I - I remember the red moonlight Daddy told me about, only once. Mama gave him a bad look when he talked about it. He was only a boy himself, then. He called it the blood moon. He said that was the night that he lost religion. He learned that men could do... could do horrible things... like animals."

#messiah of evil #blood tw #dead people #the second coming #and a dozen other titles on various reissues and rereleases #willard huyck #gloria katz #marianna hill #michael greer #joy bang #anitra ford #royal dano #elisha cook jr.#charles dierkop #bennie robinson #morgan fisher #walter hill #phillan bishop #american cinema #1974 #shot in 71 but not widely released until 74‚ this seems to have slipped into relative obscurity until a gradual reappraisal began in the #last couple of years; rarely was a film more deserving of a second chance bc this is something close to masterpiece. a beautifully original #highly enigmatic nightmare of a film‚ a slow build of dread to an unexpectedly apocalyptic conclusion as one woman's search for her missing #artist father brings her into contact with an insular and terribly twisted community. the details of the plot are left a little sketchy in #the final product but i think that actually suits the vibe better; there's enough hints and suggestions that a viewer can begin to draw #their own conclusions without having the precise nature of the evil spoonfed to them (in fact i even think they could have eased back on #the exposition in the final act a little). some amazing setpieces here too‚ including the grocery store attack which is quite genuinely a #Moment of all time horror cinema. amazing discordant electronic score too‚ it just all fits together wonderfully #the most european feeling American horror film ever made fr fr #feels almost like it's referencing Rollin and later Romero and a dozen others except this came first baby. it's just that smart

If you want to try something that'll make you laugh tonight, have you seen Cunk on Earth? I think youd like it. your day can't get worse!

Oh my God, how had I never seen this before, yall are constantly assaulting me with noted British shows 'Some Guy Wears A Coat Through Time series 26.5" and "We're Repressed but Georgian" and "Emotionally Distant Detective Embodies True English Heroism: Paperwork" and "We're Repressed but Edwardian" but never this???

I love it, reminds me actually of how Stephen Colbert, person, played Stephen Colbert, character in the hey day of the Daily Report. It goes stupid joke, stupid joke, and then SMACKS you with a clever one, like a constant cunttease. AMAZING.

I really want my wife to watch it: She loves pump up the jam and will DIE

#the work of a few straight white men blows beyonce out of the water. you're saying that on camera?#i died #philomena saying we broke with the uk because yall say pavement and we say sidewalk: she's right #the only episode that HURT was when she was talking about the American West #AIMED FOR AND HIT #THEY USED THE SAME COWBOY SHOT CLIP FROM TOMBSTONE #also the woman does SUCH A BRILLIANT SENDUP of a confidently incorrect English woman #i got mad. at her at one point! and then caught myself #THE TOP GEAR MUSIC WHEN LOOKING AT THE MODEL T #my God #i was a little annoyed that it focuses so much on America #like: okay and where were you during all this exactly? making friends?#but then i found out there's actually a whole series on britian so it makes total sense #though in the ignorant british woman category there are only two histories after 1850: british and American #so no fun spicy takes on a lot of stuff #i will probably also end up watching cunk on Britain

Valicer OT3 Week Masterpost

Did it for Polyship Week, so should do it for OT3 Week as well! This is just a straight-up list of the fics by day, with the relevant AU information and anything else you might need to know next to it in parentheses; "established" AUs (that is, AUs I already had tags for, instead of being a one-shot AU for the specific prompt) have their AU tag linked as well:

Day One: Meet Cute (Modern!AU)

Day Two: The Cool Kid, The Jock, And The Nerd (High School!AU)

Day Three: Childhood Friends (Vaguely Victorian!AU, Kidfic)

Day Four: The Knight, The Princess, And The Dragon Are Actually All Together (Medieval Fantasy!AU, hypnokinky and slightly NSFW at the end -- the post itself has the "Mature" community tag)

Day Five: Nontraditional Soulmates (Soulmates!AU)

Day Six: No One Wants To Leave The Cuddle Pile (Modern!AU, slightly hypnokinky near the end)

Day Seven: Free Day (Valicer In The Dark!AU)

Hope you enjoyed this week of Valicer prompts! As always, I am continuing to work on Valicer fic in the background -- making some good progress on the first official "Valicer In The Dark" fic, "Start At The Beginning...Sort Of." Really hoping I can release that for general consumption soon!

#ot3week #fan fic #valicer #victor van dort #alice liddell #smiler alton #human smiler AU #valicer soulmates AU #valicer in the dark au #plus all those one-shot AUs I did specifically for the week #at least one of which is trying to escape containment #*eyes the Vaguely Victorian!AU kidfic and its efforts to become a 'three player American McGee's Alice' AU*#I swear my brain just wants to write all the Valicer AUs at once #if I had infinite free time you'd see so many Valicer fanfics from me #but unfortunately I have limited free time #so we're focusing on the True Obsession that is Valicer In The Dark #be prepared for weirdass crime trio in a city of eternal night shenanigans upcoming #and also more Song Saturdays dedicated to them #because I have at least two more songs for that verse I found semi-recently #...once again stolen from the Leverage OT3 people XD #I should probably just watch the show at this point huh #queued
