very unserious topic but also i am asking very seriously. why do we think omegaverse is so popular in hotd fanfiction but virtually nonexistent in asoiaf fanfiction. for reference, out of the 24,508 house of the dragon fanfictions currently on ao3, 1,728 of them are omegaverse, amounting to approximately 7%. that might not seem like a lot, percentage wise, but compare that to asoiaf/got fanfics, which total 76,094, of which only 504 are omegaverse, just over 0.6%. what gives? btw i do have a job im just on annual leave just FYI

now that I’ve got your attention, do you want to click some more buttons? I’m trying to collect data on TOH fandom/shipping culture, and it would really help me out if you completed my survey!
If you’ve ever wanted to share your experiences of what it’s like being in the TOH fandom, now’s your chance! It’s a bit long, but you’re helping me document important parts of fandom culture!

brb, hooking an ai system trained to write scripts to an ai system trained to produce video from textual input and an ai system that generates descriptions of video content as a research exercise in identifying the most prevalent tropes and plot beats in modern cinema by (manually) cross-comparing discrete productions once content has stabilized at statistically significant similarity.

it's weird encountering irl people who use AI to write their resumes, cv's, cover letters, personal statements, etc. and them being so unashamed and even proud about it. i know that not everyone is a skilled writer, but these professional documents are literally supposed to be a reflection of the kind of PROFESSIONAL prestige and capability you have and can do. it's not even inherently the argument that AI is always going to write better than an actual person, because that's just not true, but that the AI is probably a better writer than the person who used the AI and that's how they're advertising themselves. it's just annoying and aggravating, especially when the competition for graduate school and jobs and interviews is so damn hard. i don't want to be competing against people who SHOULDN'T be here and only are because of AI. it's unfair and truly diminishes the hard work that actually needs to go into professional development

I've been reading various conversations over whether or not Data has had emotions in some form or another the whole time or not because it's the exact kind of historical fandom conversation I love to study and it's WILD to me how little people are bringing up Lal in what I've seen so far. I've seen people mention things like Tasha's death, Spot in general, the Most Toys and In Theory episodes but so far I've only seen Offspring mentioned on here and in 1 youtube comment.
Now I haven't even seen any of these episodes yet, I'm still in season 1 and only just now coming up to Tasha's death but I know enough about things to know that Lal should REALLY be the center of this debate along with the fact that he ???? wants these emotions to begin with? because why would an emotionless android want that to begin with?
But regardless of that part just -- Lal and Data's desire for a child, how he interacts with her, his reactions to her death are all logically really good fodder for this conversation????
And on top of that even if you take the stance that the show SAYS he has no emotions and that any we see are either his in-universe mimicry or a product of human (and thus emotional) writers and actors -- he DOES UPLOAD LAL'S BRAIN INTO HIS. SO LOGICALLY HE NOW HAS AT LEAST SOME CONCEPT OF/CAPACITY FOR EMOTION. While he didn't really get that from the uploading of the colonists minds when he was made, given the different context and how much more compatible her brain is to his and how IMPORTANT things like her feelings were to her existence it's INSANE to think they didn't get copied over into him and INSANE to think it doesn't impact him in some way.
Like via having her memories/experiences/programming in his own head now and the fact that she CANONICALLY experienced things like love and fear he AT MINIMUM now has experience with feeling those things even if second hand and now also has INPUT which would be processed by his subconscious functions and likely Do Something to him in the long run.
Just like --- even if you're a hardliner that he didn't feel emotions until the chip i just feel like you gotta explain Lal just like IN GENERAL and also how the FUCK having her mind downloaded into his wouldn't SOMEHOW effect his capacity for emotions.
