I'm Back!

Wow, so Lent is over now, so my tumblr fast is also over and I'm still a little in shock, lol. I had hoped the past six weeks? I don't know, Time is weird, would be more productive but at least I got SOME stuff written/posted. Anyway, I have one more month of school and then fucking FINALS so expect sporadic updates at idiot-o-clock hours of the night, and maybe yell at me to sleep, eat, study, or drink water whenever i do post 😅

I am up to SO EFFING MANY wips rn on so many different fronts you guys have no freaking idea 😭 so here's a status report for EVERYTHING on or going on sardonic_sprite. (Its gonna be a monster post, y'all, bear with me)

in absolutely no particular order:

Wayne4Ham: We have a LONG way to go with this one, so just be patient and I'll slowly but steadily plug on through. Aaron Burr, Sir, should theoretically take me no longer than end of april

Wayne-Crazy: there's like 4 specific requests on it, plus a few 'series' i started, but after those, say 6-7, i'll probably mark as complete and only re-open if someone offers me an idea

Batman Beginners: i'll tell y'all up front, this one will take me forever. i don't even know what all I intend to cover, but know that i'm halfway done with the DITF arc, and it'll probably come out in the next two months

Just A Kid: this was my shits-and-giggles fic that got like 3000 notes in a weekend lmao. it's something i do intend to continue bc its so fun and i enjoy the concepts in it, but i don't have plans to actively write more of it in the immediate future.

Rev Wayne: just gave y'all Jason's fic, so the next probably won't come until late in summer, extrapolating from my few data points. if anyone has ideas for timmy's intro, let me know, i'd love some inspiration

Celeb Batwaynes: reported separate from wayne-crazy for reasons. i think theres like 12 specific requests plus 2 ideas of my own. i may put out a poll for the next one to write, but not until after school's out, because these fics are HUGE time-eaters for me. speaking of, are non-tumblr-users able to vote on polls?

Welcome to Gotham U: this was again, me doing shit bc why not. will probably add more in the style that i first posted, but i doubt i will write any prose for it. if you would like to give it a try, please reach out, i'd love to see what you write!

One Diamond: every time i touch this i make the cliffhanger worse lmao. i finally do have a direction, but execution is gonna have to wait a while.

The Young, Innocent, and Righteous: this is mostly just for me anyway, but i'm just gonna say that i'm waiting until i finish watching miraculous season 5 before i go any further

AS you wish: i have 5 more requests to do and i am so sorry to everyone waiting you do not deserve this lmao. i promise im trying, i love your ideas, it just takes me a really long time to fill in the rest and then actually write it. the next one on my list is particularly hard to pin down and so it's halting the ones behind it to. if not before, then after finals i will sit and bang my head on the keyboard until something good comes out

Light Isn't Fadin': soooooo many people have asked me about this one oof. SOMEDAY, i swear. right now its a huge, nebulous, hulking monster and im sorry it's just not happening yet.

A christmas carol: wait until december. please

Father's Day: june.

A Little Problem: over the summer, i will watch marvel movies until they once again hijack my brain and fuel this to completion. maybe.

easter eggs: how the fuck did i forget this lmao. i'm doing as much as i can in april, but when the month is done, i'm sorry, we'll all be waiting until next lenten season. hopefully it won't come to that.

aaaaand i THINK that's finally it. there's also a bunch of random paragraphs in word and google docs that may appear, not to mention ideas that kidnap me in dark alleys. but i also have like a good half dozen other wips for other places that im trying to attend to, so please be forgiving if it seems like its taking a while to post something as sprite.

as always, i love questions, comments, concerns, even some complaints, so feel free to interact.

See ya when I see ya!

Heya, I don't mean to bother you but, I think either I missed something or you never released those stats about the Kris survey? If you did, and I'm just stupid, can you link me to it or something? If not, that's also fine! Thanks<3

Don't worry, you didn't miss anything! I was initially planning to go through all the short answer responses at some point to note the trends in them, in addition to doing some stats analysis on the short answer questions, but I never quite got around it. Not yet, anyway.

But I figure I can share the results from those multiple-choice questions now! I did the analysis when the form hit 100 responses; it's now at 102 but I wasn't gonna redo all that to make up for it.

That being said, I'm leaving the form open in case anyone else still has some stuff they'd like to (pretend to) say to Kris (and in case I ever go through with making the fic). Here's the link! And now, below the cut, the stats:

Soul colors

27% Kindness souls

21% Perseverance souls

15% Justice souls

12% Integrity souls

8% Patience souls

3% Bravery souls

14% unsure

Weird Route

Out of the 100 participants,

39 have done the Weird Route (11 multiple times, 28 just once),

and 61 have not done it. 42 of those have watched a playthrough of it, whereas 19 only know about it indirectly.

19% of the participants would tell Kris about the Weird Route;

19% would not;

and 62% would do so only if prompted. Of these, about 1/3 have done the route themselves at least once and about 2/3 have not.

Sentiments

This is probably the one most people are interested in: from the 15-choice question, which options were picked the most? Well, here it is:

I’m sorry. - 48%

I didn’t want this; I was supposed to have my own vessel. I don’t know who did this - but if we can find them, maybe we can set things right. - 36%

I won’t try to convince you of anything. You can feel whatever you want about me. - 36%

You have done so well under these strange, often upsetting circumstances. You are already enough. - 25%

I just want to support you (and your friends) through this. I would let you take the lead if I could. - 24%

This shouldn’t have happened. No one deserves this. *You* don't deserve this. - 20%

I want to be friends with everyone, including you. - 19%

I’m doing my best to be true to you, what you would say, do, and want. I want to do right by you. - 16%

I don’t know what the future holds. But I’ll do whatever it takes to get the best possible ending for everyone. - 14%

I want to help you be happier. I hope you're getting some joy out of this - going on adventures, making more friends, and getting to be a hero. - 13%

I want to learn more about this world, to understand it. And I want to help you and the others learn more about it, too. - 12%

I’m invested. I need to know what happens. - 9%

I can’t just leave - your world can’t be saved, can’t have “a new future”, without me. So let’s try to work together. - 8%

I want to fix things, to help in a way only someone with my knowledge/perspective can. - 7%

I want to help you grow as a person. - 1%

We just need to trust that this will all work out; that fate will do right by you. I’m confident it will, eventually. - 0%

Now, if you remember, people were allowed to pick three options, and it turned out that there were some combinations of three that got picked multiple times.

Specifically, 5 people picked this combo:

Vessel explanation

"you can feel however you want about me"

I’m sorry

and 4 people picked this combo:

Vessel explanation

"I'd let you take the lead if I could"

I’m sorry

I used the results of the Soul Trait question to do some cross-analysis with this question, seeing which options were popular among which soul types, but I think that'd all be too much to paste into this tumblr post. If anyone really wants to know, I can privately send you the link to the Google Doc this all comes from. I'm not sure there are really any fruitful conclusions to be drawn from it, as a) kindness and perseverance, the two most common soul traits among respondents, were almost always in the top 3 of which soul traits picked any option, for intuitive reasons, which thereby meant that the most popular choices for those two soul traits were basically just the most popular choices overall, and b) there were so few examples for certain soul traits that you can't really say the data relating to them is significant. But, ya know, it's there, if you want it.

I could also, if people really want, give my thoughts on what I personally think of the options - as in, how I think Kris would respond to them and whether I think they'd be actually helpful/reassuring/etc. to say - but I dunno if anyone actually wants that. Let me know, I guess.

Anyway, thanks to everyone who took the survey! It was really fun and often heartwarming to read people's short answer responses, and I do think there are some interesting implications in which of the 15 choices the majority of people gravitated to. And reminder, if you haven't done it yet and would like to, it's still open!
