#ao3 chatter

TAG GAME

Rules: Go to your (current/main) AO3 account and find the following:

thank you @merceyca for the tag!! time to see the vibes 😎

What ratings do you write most of your fics under?

t! i'm not super surprised. i reckon most of my bktd stuff is t-rated lmao and they make up like a quarter of my entire ao3. m is my least used rating lmao (also not a surprise)

What are your top three fandoms?

haikyuu (56), bnha (30) & aftg has now overtaken fe3h to come third with 13

What is the top character you write about?

sakusa kiyoomi (haikyuu, 33) which catches me off guard literally every time lmfao. bakugou katsuki & todoroki shouto (bnha) are tied second with 30 & then it's haikyuu and bnha the whole way down the rest of the list until #10, which is kevin day (aftg) with 12.

What are your top three pairings?

this one is really making me laugh bc they're all different fandoms LMAO and really speaks to my tendency to like... even when i write a bunch of different ships (see: haikyuu) to still have one ship per fandom that breaks away from the pack in terms of me writing it

bakugou katsuki/todoroki shouto (bnha, 30)

miya osamu/sakusa kiyoomi (haikyuu, 27)

kevin day/aaron minyard (aftg, 10)

What are the top three additional tags?

introspection (22)

canon compliant (14)

developing relationship (13)

this makes me laugh bc i can't decide whether or not i'm surprised by this HKJFDHKJSGAJKH 22 fics tagged introspection seems like a lot, especially when i do often write ensemble antics for haikyuu and bnha, but it's less than a fifth of this particular ao3 acc, so like... square the diff? idk! it's just interesting for me. this is fun ty for the tag clarence

Does any of this surprise you?

i knew the haikyuu and bnha stats generally speaking, like the characters and ships, and i'd had a sense kevaaron had taken the third spot in the ships (tbt may when i was staying with lex and wasn't sure kevaaron even SHOWED UP on my relationships sidebar until mari checked and confirmed for me... and now look at 'em), but i didn't know the ratings or the additional tags, and the additional tags surprised me! so did kevin's appearance in the character list, mostly because it meant i had to hunt through my aftg fics to figure out which fics certain characters appeared in. i'd have had to do that for haikyuu too normally, but i'd looked into that myself recently anyway lmao. it does always make me laugh to see the relationships tag stats on my ao3 bc it doesn't make it easy to guess all the things i like (e.g. my favourite hq ship is not represented anywhere on my ao3) but it does at the least indicate some things i really like lol

Tagging: not sure who's been tagged yet, so @seasy33 @decaflondonfog @mostlymaudlin @naturecalls111 @zukkacore @emdashingly @cubistemoji @jadehqknb & anyone who wants to take a little dive into their filters for some lil stats analysis lmao. and ofc no pressure to play <3

i don't believe that edgeworth would read steel samurai fanfic of his own accord but i do think if maya sent him the link to one he would print it out to read it. and make corrections on it in red ink.

[a-scary-lack-of-common-sense]

HEY FOLKS, I finally figured out how to make a masterpost for the AU on ao3!! I put all the most important lore 'n stuff in chronological order, so it should be a bit easier to follow now :)

Have fun!

[curiositykilledtheradiostar]

when will my beautiful wife (ao3) return from the war (server maintenance)

[gjdraws]

You know how people say comment on fic you might make someone's day? Well shoutout to ao3 user [redacted] who left like 11 comments on 3 whole fics and comics and let me say it made my migraine filled, fever wrought, insomniac ass day BETTER

so all this to say, comments on fics really are all that actually

[clodyghost]

should i start writing jegumas fics or should i study for my exams…..

[igbylicious]

me: hm fandom is always so exhausting for me even tho it's fun :( i gotta figure out a way to be in this space so it costs less energy & it won't constantly exacerbate my chronic bullshit :(

me later: okay so reviving my old ateez blog @wooyoungslipmole to reblog gifsets, art, memes etc etc works really well! (/blatant plug-in) i can easily mute the blog's notifs to manage the overstim better and i'm not flooded w/ small, flashing images in my writing blog's activity anymore so it's less of a strain to look at! yay, progress!

me, who should have stopped there: huh, maybe then a separate blog for fic recs is also smart 🤔

me: and it's also a nice excuse to finally create an actual tagging system so ppl can search recs by members! and by genre! and whether it's reader insert or not! and oneshots or series! maybe i should tag different types of au's too? 🤔🤔

me: AND OH WHAT IF, WHAT IF, what if i go through all my old recs and queue them up for the new blog so they're neatly gathered in one place, AND i rotate them by member so there's a nice even spread in content!!! and i should also spread out the writers too so they don't get spammed too much. yes yes let's do this 👍 hmm wait i've got like 80 fics in my queue now and i'm not sure if i have any recs left for certain members... i knew i'd have more for some than for others but this... hm... maybe i should tally which members are in the remaining 90 fic so i know what the exact disparity is 🤔 oh dang i read a LOT more San fic than i realised lol oop okay so all i gotta do is dig through my tumblr tbr for the other members and read massive amounts of fic for them so i can keep my queue nice and balanced! yeah lately i've felt too blocked to read anything on tumblr, that's true, but having a deadline will make all the difference to kick my brain back into gear, i'm sure 👍 brute-forcing it will have no negative consequences 👍 let's start wi— wait what do you mean it's 2am already? why is my brain all frazzled and foggy???

me: ...okay maybe, just maybe, it's not fandom that's exhausting.........

Do you think when Soundwave is stressed out Cosmos leads him outside to to teach him out to dance in space?

ABSOLUTELYYYY YOURE TOTALLY COMPLETELY ANF ENTIRELY CORRECT

Soundwave’s outlier ability makes him incredibly sensitive to noise. Even though he’s mastered his ability, it’s still easy to get overwhelmed and overstimulated with the noises and thoughts of everyone around him when he’s stressed.

It took a while for Cosmos to kinda realize what’s going on (Sky-Byte just says he does this sometimes and Laserbeak and Buzzsaw say it’s none of his business), but after a while he was able to find out that Soundwave’s shutdowns and long disappearances was because of stress and sensory overload (he managed to bribe Frenzy into telling him. Apparently it happens sometimes and usually Ravage could calm him down quick, but now she’s gone and Soundwave has to manage a whole space station by himself. The avians can calm him down, it just takes longer and leaves Soundwave a lot more tired).

So, After a particularly stressful day, Cosmos finds soundwave by himself trying to manage his stress (poorly), and Cosmos has an idea. He leads Soundwave to the airlock and asks him to trust him, and take them outside of the station.

It’s better out here, soundwave could still feel the noise from the station as they stand on the edge but he can feel himself calming down now that he’s away from the noise. Cosmos quietly hums to himself and squeezes Soundwave’s hand in a calming, rhythmic squeeze-and-release.

After a minute or so, Cosmos takes both of Soundwave’s hands and again asks him to trust him, before lightly launching them off of the station. In an instinctive spike of panic, Soundwave activates his trusters and clings tighter (closer) to cosmos but cosmos just laughs and leads them into a short spin before angling his own thrusters to a stop. Confused, but willing to trust Cosmos (and he is willing. He’ll trust cosmos with his spark if cosmos asked) soundwave cuts his own thrusters off. With just cosmos’ weight and the occasional quick jet of thrusters to steady themselves, they’re floating aimlessly.

No longer touching the station, everything is totally quiet. The noise is gone completely—only the gentle sound of the mechanisms in Cosmos’ frame and the bouncy loop of music in Cosmos’ processor remains.

Soundwave is not used to the total silence of space the way cosmos is (no fighting, no shooting, no chattering) so he’s nearly in awe of the peace of it all.

Cosmos laughs again. Soundwave can feel it reverberating through his frame from where they’re connected. The music Cosmos is repeating in his mind switches to a more subtle tune. He adjusts his grip on Soundwave’s arms and leads them into another light spin, moving and dipping with the music in his processor.

Soundwave follows along as best he can but ultimately lets Cosmos lead. Cosmos is happy to do so, Soundwave seems to have calmed down and his EM field is light with warm amusement and poorly hidden adoration.

They stay out there for as long as they can before the cassettes get sick of watching the gooey gross lovey dovey stuff and make them come back inside.

AIFJF THIS TOOK SO LONG TO ANSWER IM SORRY IM SORRY 💔💔 I was so busy and tired I just. Didn’t get around to it until now thank you for your patience :33 also sorry this became an almost-fic bc I am sick and ill THANK YOU FOR THE ASKK HEEHEHE❤️❤️❤️🛸🛸🛸🎵🎵🎵

[lotus-ignis]

Okay. Okay. Ao3 is down. Now, don't panic. You're fine, you're fine, you're fine...

[19burstraat]

For your consideration:

1. (what it sounds like)

2. (sequel to the regency au when existence...)

3. (also what it sounds like; remember the stuff in crooked kingdom about how merchers sometimes try to 'clean up' the barrel? sort of a sequel to a world alone but will be possible to read separately. also likely to end up being connected to guild me, build me)

4. sequel to jordie lives au I never told you...

[mylittleredgirl]

will you be on bluesky?

nope i’m here until they turn the lights out and then my backup plan is to get a life

Comm Chatter, #1

A/N: This story came about similar to how "Anomaly" was created--totally out of the blue; in my spare time; and with occasional deference to the canon episodes.

The difference is, now it's being done with imaginary text messages to feed my autistic nerd brain, so I hope you'll give it the same amount of attention. Thanks!

Fandom: Star Wars Universe/Skeleton Crew

Chapter Title: I Heard A Rumor...

Timeline: 9 ABY

Characters Involved: Lando Calrissian; Han Solo; Hera Syndulla; Hondo Ohnaka; Din Djarin; and Boba Fett in that precise order.

AO3: Click Here!

Tie-Ins: Anomaly (Jod Na Nawood X Reader)

Special Notes: This won't be as updated as the other story is, but rest assured, when it is I will be sure to let you all know. :D
