TOP 10 WEB VIDEO SERIES ON AO3 FOUND IN FANDOMS > OTHER MEDIA (2010-2023)

To make this ranking, all series titles in the Other Media category on November 29 (or the closest date to it) of every year were copy-pasted to Google Sheets, rearranged according to number of fanworks, and then manually filtered since not all web video series were marked as such.

Locked fanworks aren't included in the count because Wayback Machine can’t view those, only Ao3 users can.

Many authors started locking their works starting December 2022. It's most likely the reason the number of fanworks decreased or slowed down in 2023.

Bar chart starts at 2010 because there were no web series in Other Media in 2009.

The Dream SMP tag was only considered an Additional Tag in 2021-early 2022, which is why it's not listed in Other Media earlier than that.

Please refer to this post for more bar chart races.

Dedicating this post to @vsrobotjulie who requested this bar chart race.💕

Thanks for understanding and hopefully I didn’t mess up anywhere! 🙏

I crack up every time I see a watcher video in my recommendations now bc all I can think about is them saying ‘please give us your money we can’t afford to keep making these ridiculously overblown shows’ and everyone was like ‘well stop making those shows then. jesus.’

Forever thinking about the fact that Shane Madej gets to live out the dream of working with friends and making a show out of his story. Love that for him, literally living any creatives dream

Apparently BuzzFeed Polls never went away. I feel like it's 2012 again!

So BuzzFeed has a 25 question poll on Tim Walz vs. J.D. Vance.

If you make it all the way to #25, they save the best for last.

01/07/24, 3:43 PM EST: At this time of day, I saw "the dress" as a white and gold dress that appeared to be in the "shade," (which to me gave the "white" part of the dress a "light bluish" tinge).

UPDATE 01/07/24, 4:50 PM EST: I had originally reblogged this post in the late afternoon. It is interesting that when I revisited this post later to add to it, it was in the early evening, so my blinds were closed and no more sunlight was coming in my window behind me to shine on my computer screen. Consequently, at first glance, the dress looked darker, with it almost being a very light blue (especially the photo on the Wikipedia link above), and a dark gold or mustard color. ���

For more information on what the colors of "the dress" actually are and why some people see the dress as "blue and black" and others as "white and gold," (and a few as "blue and brown" or "other), see below the cut.

Yes, the actual dress is blue and black, which I can clearly see in the photos below.

Both photos above are from BuzzFeed. Above left is a photo of the dress worn to a wedding by the mother of the bride (who started the whole thing when she took the original photo and showed it to the bride and groom before the wedding). Above right is a photo of the dress from the company it came from: Roman Originals.

Roman Originals (now just Roman) also has an image on its #THE DRESS That Broke the Internet website that fades from the blue & black to the white & gold dress, represented below by this (edited) gif:

Fun facts from the Roman's #THE DRESS website:

"The dress" is a viral meme that launched to stardom on 26th February 2015, when the world disagreed over whether the item of clothing below was black and blue or white and gold. The phenomenon revealed differences in human colour perception which have been the subject of ongoing scientific investigation in neuroscience and vision science, with a number of papers published in peer-reviewed science journals. In popular discourse, the disagreement over the colours was sometimes referred to as "dressgate". But to us it will always be our Dress that broke the internet. After 7.6 Million tweets it's time to seperate the fact from fiction

* 3,622,960 visitors to our website in 48 hours * 2,214,343 uses of #thedress * covered on over 150 networks including BBC Worldwide, Sky, CNN, Fox, ABC, CBS, Globo TV, NTN24, Nippon TV and more... * 70% of people asked actually saw white and gold instead of blue and black * 73 million views of #thedress across all social media channels * 34 minutes was the amount of time it took for our website to sell out of #thedress We even made a #WhiteandGold version that was auctioned off for Charity

It appears that some of the illusion might have been caused by "the dress" having been photographed with yellow-tinged lighting. According to Wikipedia:

Daniel Hardiman-McCartney of the College of Optometrists stated that the picture was ambiguous, suggesting that the illusion was caused by a strong yellow light shining onto the dress, and human perception of the colours of the dress and light source by comparing them with other colours and objects in the picture.[40] [...] The first large-scale scientific study on the dress was published in Current Biology three months after the image went viral. The study, which involved 1,400 respondents, found that 57 per cent saw the dress as blue and black, 30 per cent saw it as white and gold, 11 per cent saw it as blue and brown, and two per cent reported it as "other".[44] Women and older people disproportionately saw the dress as white and gold. The researchers further found that, if the dress was shown in artificial yellow-coloured lighting, almost all respondents saw the dress as black and blue, while they saw it as white and gold if the simulated lighting had a blue bias.[33][44][45][46] Another study in the Journal of Vision, by Pascal Wallisch, found that people who were early risers were more likely to think the dress was lit by natural light, perceiving it as white and gold, and that "night owls" saw the dress as blue and black.[47][48] A study carried out by Schlaffke et al. reported that individuals who saw the dress as white and gold showed increased activity in the frontal and parietal regions of the brain. These areas are thought to be critical in higher cognition activities such as top-down modulation in visual perception.[49][50] [emphasis added]

The yellow-tinged light hypothesis might account for why the dress seemed to change colors for me slightly from the time I first saw it with sunlight hitting my computer screen through the window behind me, to when I revisited it in the evening, when my blinds were closed.

I'm also an older woman, so I fit in the demographics of those most likely to see the dress as white and gold. However, I'm not a particularly "early riser" (although I do have to get up early for work🤷🏻‍♀️).

Optical illusions are always fascinating.

In February 2015, the "The Dress" debate had everyone weighing in on what color it was.

Okay!

[svtskneecaps]

see the best unintended effect of the translator mod is that it made every moment on the server immediately reaction memeable because every word that was said was transcribed in real time above their heads. it's like how buzzfeed unsolved's blue and yellow text was so immediately memeable, bc the quips were already written out so all fans needed was a well timed screenshot. now we have screenshots like this, delivered right to our front door:

but the fact that they're translations ALSO gives the added fun of MIStranslations, so you get things like roier saying "young guy" in english with the translations set to spanish and producing "john gay".

like every oneliner ever delivered in a conversation is almost INSTANTLY memeable as long as someone is looking and that's honestly fucking hilarious
