UNCHAINED SANGUINEOUS HEARTMAKER {Guilty Gear}

Riding the high of a resounding Epiphany.

...Did I pull another "Desdinova" purely out of sheer A.B.A hopium? (I kept the lines sketchy, though, because I could not be arsed to try and mimic Strive's linework style again after the pain from last time ahjsdgajhsdgadk)

Yes. Yes I did.

So, those Season 3 character survey results, huh? The A.B.A hopium is real. I really do wonder what they'd do with her if she was brought to Strive, so I decided to try my hand at a "Strive-ified" A.B.A design.

Make sure to check under the cut for the "concept art" I made + their associated information.

So, design background info:

So, she's a... weirdo homunculus, right? An artificial human, created by a mad scientist she never met, so she was alone and never really learned how to... "people". That key in her head also keeps on reminding me of the bolts lodged in the sides of pop-culture-ified Adam's (Frankenstein's monster) head. She's also desperately trying to find a human(oid) body for the demon/magical foci Paracelsus/Flament Nagel, who she is deeply in love with. Artificially-created human, medical themes, artificial human form, deeply in love...

So what if she decided that, with her attempts at finding a body for him repeatedly failing (XX endings don't count, XX's canonicity is completely FUCKED lmao), why doesn't she just... create one herself instead?

In other words, the creation becomes the creator. Lil' bit of "Bride of Frankenstein" thrown in, if the guy making the bride (or in this case, groom) was the monster itself.

So, making her into a key-axe-wielding mad scientist homunculus.

I tried to make her pose reminiscent of a dance move, specifically a "dip".

I hope you like it!

GG ABA Strive fandesign sheet 01

The first drawing I got done of my design for A.B.A (featuring a base-shapes Paracelsus for scale). Featuring her color palette (F1 is base flesh, F2 is scarring, H is hair, B is bandages, C1 is primary coat color, C2 is secondary coat color, C3 is tertiary coat color, E is "edges", M1 is one of the metal colors, A is "accents", M2 is the second metal color, and the square below that is the eye colors), weird ragged patchwork "lab-coat", boot details, "branding", and some of the text on her design.

- The phrase printed along the front edge of her coat (and the heels of her boots) is "LOCK&SEE" (the "&" stylized to look like/replaced with a keyhole symbol), a spin on the phrase "Lock and Key", fitting with her obsession with keys and tendency towards twisting sayings/phrases into mondegreens. Also implies hiding something.

- The brand on the back of her coat is meant to look like the coffin shape on the back of Paracelsus's head during Moroha Mode, with the nose hole and right eye hole visible. Text above it reads "PARACELSUS" (with the P and R stylized to have curved horns in the back like MM Para), and the text underneath reads "FLAMENT NAGEL" (with similar "horn" stylization on the F).

- The scarring is damage from her not wearing proper protective gear during her experiments (because she doesn't seem like one to wear proper PPE lmao), much of it taking up most of the left side of her upper torso/arm (meant to mirror Strive Faust's stitching).

- She's both grimy and very... "DIY", so her stitching is very hodgepodge.

- The text along the stitching on the back of her coat reads "The More The Moodier.", a play on one of her mondegreen win-quotes in XX (against I-No: "People say "the more the gloomier", but she's just too much to take...") but with the same alliteration as "the more the merrier" which it was derived from.

- The brand on the right side of her shorts is the same as on her back, but without the "FLAMENT NAGEL" and with "PARACELSUS" underneath instead of above.

- The key markings (gloves, boots) all have the same key-blade shape as Paracelsus.

- I had some trouble figuring out some of her colors, as they differed between the sprites (blue metal, glove. and trim) and official artwork (dark brown metal + glove, blue trim), so I decided to have dark brown for the keys and dark blue for the studded trim and left glove.

- The laces of her boots and the buttons on her coat are meant to resemble Para's mouth stitches

- Made her head-key/neck keys have a little skull decoration similar to some of her XX art (it's very inconsistent).

GG ABA Strive fandesign sheet 02

The second "Strive-ified" A.B.A design sheet I made.

- Both of the large gloves look the same, with the red bands and Paracelsus-blade key markings.

- The dark blue left-hand glove is (mostly) the same. I like to think that it's her "woobie", what with her tendency to get attached to inanimate objects.

- The dark blue cropped tank-top is meant to only be visible in Moroha. The text reads "MOCK&KEY" (the "&" stylized to look like/replaced with a stylized keyhole symbol, the top part of the keyhole meant to look like a coffin), another spin on "Lock and Key" like the previously-mentioned "LOCK&SEE" compounded with her believing herself to be superior to humans. Moroha is what was locked-up.

GG ABA Strive fandesign sheet 03

Third sheet I made.

- Noting specific design changes during Moroha. Coat opens + key "eyes" gain red glow.

- Design for her head + neck keys.

- Design for her bloodpacks. Text reads "FRASCO". Symbol underneath meant to look like a "flask" shape made out of an upside-down keyhole.

GG ABA Strive fandesign sheet 04 (Para)

The fourth sheet I made, featuring Paracelsus and his colors.

I honestly didn't change much lmao. His design is already weird by GG standards, mostly just tweaked some things.

- Made his eyes asymmetrical. Right has small iris and no pupil, left has beady pupil. Wanted to make him look "cartoony (western) neurotic/nervous" while hinting at his "main" glowy eye in Moroha being his right eye.

- I blurred/smudged the blood along the bottom edge to imply that A.B.A dragging him around wore away some of it.

- I added some spikes to his collar for a "punk" look, which glow red in Moroha.

- I kept his mouth stitches in Moroha. The mouth-corner stitches remain, while the middle stitches are tied around his left horn.

GG ABA Strive fandesign sheet 05

The final sheet I made, featuring mechanic ideas, "meta" stuff, and a design for repurposing an older move into a reversal super.

- Non-replenishable resources don't really fly in Strive, so I decided to make them replenishable through an alternate version of Bonding (a.k.a Keygrab). One Keygrab variant for Moroha, one Keygrab variant for a bloodpack. Starts off with no bloodpacks. Max three bloodpacks at a time. Functionality basically the same as XX.

- Turned Altercation (i.e. Enter Goku Moroha) into a Moroha-exclusive reversal super. Goku Moroha is not something that flies by modern fighting game characters, let alone Strive, so GM would definitely get axed. Still keeping Altercation as an absolute weirdo of a move, taking different resources depending on how much she has of each.

- Not sure what to actually do with Moroha's function/moveset, but having an "Install" state is the big thing that defines A.B.A's playstyle, so she'd probably keep at least base Moroha.

- Evidence: Concealment becomes a full reversal that only hits one hit as opposed to three, because most people cancel it after the first hit anyway lmao

Americans are having less sex, whether they’re teenagers or in their 4Os. One of the most comprehensive sex studies to date — the National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior — found evidence of declines in all types of partnered sexual activity in the U.S. Over the course of the study from 2OO9 to 2O18, those surveyed reported declines in penile-vaginal intercourse, anal sex and partnered masturbation.

Average relative annual declines in the prevalence of each behavior— except for weapon carrying—ranged from 1–6%. The structure of the latent factor was mostly unchanged over time, with notable exceptions related to differential changes in prevalence for cigarette and cannabis use. Between 1999 and 2O17, the mean of the latent factor declined by between O.54 and O.73 standard deviations.

Results suggest that much of the decline in the prevalence of substance use, delinquent, and sexual behaviors among American youth from 1999–2O17 reflect an approximately two-thirds standard deviation decline in the mean of a latent risk behavior factor.

Much of America looks suburban, with neighborhoods of single-family homes connected by roads to retail centers and low-rise office buildings. For the first time, government data confirm this. According to the newly released 2O17 American Housing Survey (of nearly 76,OOO households nationwide), about 52 percent of people in the United States describe their neighborhood as suburban

Is gematria haram? - Quora Quora https://www.quora.com › Is-gematria-haram No human can intercede with God for the soul of another human being. God's scriptures contain the exact roadmap of how to live a happy, secure life, and it is … 2 answers · 1 vote: Salam, did you mean gematria? See fatwa:

Being something of an economic fundamentalist, I've been quite blind to the fact democratic politics - along with commerce and technoscience - involves a massive numerization of social processes. Quite apart from the usual arguments for democracy, there is a 'case for democratization' proceeding entirely from the promotion of qabbalistic cultural decoding.

In striking contrast to every other political arrangement evidenced in history, democracy numerizes power, subordinating authority to number, with would-be dominant ideas compelled to legitimate themselves in terms of quantitative 'ratings' of approval. The incomprehensible complexity of erotic 1O-K readings the social whole is subjectively appropriated through simple numerical indices - with percentages overwhelmingly predominant. The individual as democratic 'unit' thus functions the contemporary world disorder (what CNN was for Baurdrillard and pomo fuzz-death of the Oddubbian universe back in the 9O's)

THE LEGEND OF DIAPER HORSE

[h-f-k]

Friendly space ninja is specially funny when he’s not being friendly. Whenever I’m having a bad day, I just play his video for the first season of either bridgerton, Emily in Paris or the gg reboot and immediately start to feel better just by listening to his increasingly frustrated rants about the shows.

And please do! Shanspeare has interesting topics and makes really good points. And I love Hannah’s content! You can tell she really cares about sexual education and does her research before discussing any topic. She also knows when to give the spotlight to someone else: there’s a recent one on masculinity, completely carried out by three different men. Another personal favourite of mine was watching her react to the results from the p*rnhub survey, she was so scandalised about some of the slang

And I’m so mad about the whole Tutberidze situation. I say that figure skating is my fav sport because is the one I enjoy watching the most but I’m so bad at keeping up with it and just spent the last couple of weeks watching so many videos about it. I knew some things, specially with the scandals from the Sochi and Beijing Olympics, but know I know more and I’m fuming. Leave young girls alone!!!

But well, I’m glad you’re familiar with some of my recs and interested in the other ones, I hope you enjoy them 🩵

ooooh if you love or get in a good mood when someone gets frustrated with their commentary pls watch Sideway's videos, the Le Mis and CATS ones are extremely amusing lmao.

And yeah, the figure skating topic is so sad and concerning, especially knowing these girls have 14/15! Like it's insane people are just turn a blind eye on this issue.

[bluebeetle]

Since Slayer is basically anything but confirmed thanks to the data mined dialogue he has with Nagoriyuki... damn, guess we just have to pray for Venom

Like, as I have said, if there is something that I will always praise of Guilty Gear is that when it comes to the more character driven storylines the games tend to be more mature, which I still consider Millia's to be one of the best narratives with how... real it is her outgrowing Zato altogether.

I truly wish we get to see Venom doing the same, him finally outgrowing his feelings for Zato and fully denouncing and moving behind the life of an assassin... because we do know that it all went against his nature, it was about the devotion of the man he loved... I truly wish we get to see Venom stray away from the forever loyal gay in love with the straight man (as in the type of trope, never implying that someone in GG is cishet except for Zato) as I posted about how Testament and Bridget's stories in Strive are about redeeming the antiquated and offensive storylines they had previously.

YEAH based off of the results of the popularity poll they did for new characters for strive:

It's not a surprise lol. He is VERY popular. (Note Venom barely making it in to the NA list and no where else. Ouch.)

So yeah, I had Slayer already cemented in my mind for the next DLC character. (I feel like Asuka is also likely, as he's one of the few not to be playable yet in the mainline games on there--and last season had 2 new characters who werent playable before so I assume they'll have at least one new one to balance out the returning characters).

He's really fun though don't get me wrong! His animations and his nonchalance are always hilarious.. but yeah I don't think Venom is likely unless they go outside of the survey results (which is totally plausible!!)--or sneak him in to something with Slayer somehow, or an extra side story with Season 2 lol. I pray, I pray...

But yeah to the rest of that: I agree whole heartedly! I wish I had more to say but Ive said so much in the other post already lol...so theres not much for me to add, because you said it so well.

but yeah I want Venom moving out and slipping out of the gay man in love with a straight guy thing (i love zato and in my heart i wish he was bi/trans but hes sooooooooo Cishet sometimes it hurts. but hes my lil cishet misogynist who i want the entire female cast + venom to kick into the dirt)

so yeah I just hope we get that last little end to Venom; which I think the series really could do because it's shown such a mature growth and understanding in this stuff from the writers end of things! I think part of it helps is that Guilty Gear is clearly such a passion project for Daisuke Ishiwatari, and he's willing to grow and change things as he grows himself over nearly 25 years.

#ask #guilty gear

[gear-project]

There was what you put on the survey, but what characters do you think are most likely for the 2nd pass, and which do you want? (The way they mentioned it seemed guests may happen)

My impression is that they mentioned side characters a lot so as to cover all the bases, but I really don't think characters like Daryl or Erica might be playable compared to more popularly demanded characters who have appeared in past games.

Of course, even my predictions are wrong sometimes (Baiken showed up in Samurai Shodown and KOF Allstars among other things). I was actually thinking Nagoriyuki would've joined Samurai Shodown's roster instead (since he already existed in Feudal Japan beforehand).

On the possibility that guest characters would show up in Guilty Gear… GGStrive would be the absolute FIRST game in the series to actually go that far, so it's difficult to say what results they could come up with.

Though, if I had to list a few ideas that come to mind:

Bastard!! (Dark Schneider?)

Berserk (Guts in his Berserker Armor)

Nier (Still popular, especially 2B, even in the Soul Calibur Scene)

Samurai Shodown (Since SNK made Baiken a guest, it would only make sense for another SamSho character to make a reverse appearance… Asura from SamSho 64 would be a good pick.)

BlazBlue (Ragna=the=Bloodedge would be an easy pick).

Code Vein/God Eater (These two games share a lot of parallels with Guilty Gear's Universe, so they could easily make the leap).

Disgaea (Another possible crossover… there's a great deal of interesting characters in that series to match in GG's world of vampires, demons, and ghosts.)

Anyway, those are only possible choices... what they actually end up doing is still up in the air.

(And they still need to fix some aspects of the PC version, since the current patch seems to have rendered it virtually unplayable on my PC at least... don't worry, I sent in a report.)

At the end of the day, my top picks are Izuna, Paradigm, Bedman, and Justice, since they almost never get a showing.

[binniesthighs]

eehee here it is the long awaited results of my chaotic ass survey about our hornies it’s so long holy heck, but I have seperated it into a couple sections to make sense of it all (omg if you read all of it lemme give you a kith teehee) ahhhh lol its SO nerdy haha but i hope that ya enjoy nonetheless! ✨

In this essay, I will....(hahah jk jk this is just all for fun) 

1. Demographics Analysis 

2. Polls on Fic Content 

3. Member Specific Analysis 

4. Deep Dive into the Juicy Questions (Confessions) 

5. General Thoughts and Conclusion  

6.  Cute shit that ya’ll said that made me giggle

*Unpopular opinions will be made into their own post to give them ample space and analysis!

Other Notes: 

Out of 100 individuals surveyed, 44 were readers, 2 were only writers, and 54 were both readers and writers. 

Statistical significance can be effected by sampling, selection, and response bias (yeah i took a stats class teehee) and personal biases 

All the the opinions and other analysis presented by me (Ro/binniesthighs) are purely my own oponion and are not factual. you are entitled to interpret all of this information however you like! Anything that i analyze is not definitive! 

while this survey is mostly about stay smutblr, i hope that it can also maybe serve as a template for other fandoms as well with the more general questions! this is a survey for everyone! 

i’d love to hear about what you think about anything presented in this analysis! feel free to send me an ask or comment! reposting is permitted within tumblr or on other platforms if proper credit is given! ❤️ (uwu hehe if you could please help me spread this i would appreciate it so much! i worked really hard on her 🥺) 

1. Demographics Analysis:

Gender Identities of those Surveyed 

~My thoughts: this really came as no surprise to me considering how the majority of kpop fans (especially boy group fans) identify as female! Seeing as I am a Stray Kids/Seventeen blog (both of them boy groups) it makes sense to me that my readers would mostly identify as female! 

Another important thing to note (from a writer standpoint at least) is the wide array of identities that we still have present within the general audience of stay smut blur (SSB)! I’ll get into this later when i discuss favorite pairings to read, however i think that this gives us one more reason to write for a diverse audience of readers who can identify with different types of self-insert fics! 

Top Five: 

Female (81%) 

Non-binary/gender non-conforming (13%) 

Changes by the day (6%) 

Male (4%) 

Demiboy/Demigirl (3%) 

Sexual Orientation of those Surveyed 

Other identities mentioned: 

????, unlabeled, aromatic bisexual, bicurious, demisexual, “just liking who i like”, experimenting, heteroflexible, sapiosexual, depends day by day, “i just like anyone” 

~My thoughts: okkkkk i see us gays of SSB 😏 these demographics were really exciting for me to see! i think that it’s super cool that we have such representation across the board when it comes to sexual orientations present in our community! As someone who personally identifies as pan, this was super comforting to see that there are so many others like me in this little space of the internet! I think it’s safe to say at least from my lil survey that all the bi cuties out here own SSB 💗💜💙

From a literal standpoint, it also makes sense to me that heterosexuality is strongly present as well considering that often the pairs that we read are male idol x female reader so this is the perfect niche! 

Top Five: 

Bisexual (40.8%) 

Heterosexual (26.5) 

Pansexual (17.3%) 

Queer (7.1%) 

Asexual (4.1%) 

Stay Creators!! 

~My thoughts: this one i was THRILLED at seeing oml hahaha and i was so interested to see that this was nearly an even split! 

I think that there’s something to be said about how sometimes we can take our hobbies: (movies, videogames, books, kpop, anime etc)--all things which we really like in totally normal and healthy ways but also kinda like....get hornies about them too? if that makes sense? for example, i have a friend who really likes certain video games/characters from these games as a fan and he’s shared with me that he also doesn’t mind watching porn containing those same characters! (ahahah ya all know what i mean don’t even lie haha) 

what this question proved to me as that there are stays out there who practice “being a stay/being a stay creator” who also are interested in the more...horny side of this hobby/interest 😂

what is even more interesting to me is who i wonder if i’ve  have consumed any of ya’ll’s content while you have consumed mine??? this i am DYING to know aha but it think its best for all of us to stay anonymous teehee ;) 

either way, good on ya for doing what ya do!! you are so so treasured in this community too!! <3 

2. Polls on Fic Content (a long section lol) 

Favorite Pairing to Read 

*other options selected were rankings of favorite pairings so i just added each of them as an entry to the respective category mentioned. 

Top Five: 

Idol x female reader (69%) 

Idol x gender neutral reader (19%) 

Idol x reader x Idol (poly r/ship) (14%) 

Idol x reader, Idol x reader (threesome, not much interaction between the two idols) (8%) 

~My thoughts: once again, this category was pretty self explanatory to me considering that the majority of readers are female identifying, so it would make sense that they would prefer to read smut that aligns with their identity! This is also super present anyway of SSB as i do feel like the majority of writing pieces that I do come along are idol x female reader, and most authors too often disclaim that they are the most comfortable writing this type of pairing as well. 

What’s signficant as well is the interest in reading fics with gender neutral reader self inserts as well! this is my personal philosophy when it comes to writing (specifically with requests) but i think that writing gn!reader is always the safest bet to go as to not make assumptions about readers! for writers i think that seeing this 19% is something important to take into consideration! 

An outlier to me with this demographic was the “poly r-ship” poll garnering a notable 14% in comparison to the idol x idol option which got 10 less votes (4%). what is a little confusing to me about this is how poly r/ships often (but not always) contain idol x idol content, however there is discrepancy with the amount of readers outright saying that they enjoy reading it alone. I’ll get into poly fics later with the unpopular opinions section--however i wanted to plant the seed here hehe. One other caveat to this is the fact that on SSB i feel like idol x idol content is really in the minority and is much more present on a platform like AO3 so this could be another explaination! 

What is kinda cute to me is the fact that readers do really like poly r-ship dynamics more than a threesome (as i defined it, “with less interaction”) so this makes me feel like we are all saps for the fluff that comes with poly r-ship fics ;) 

Favorite Kind of Smut to Read 

male idol smut (67%) 

i read both! (female and male idol smut) (25%) 

depends on my mood (7%) 

female idol smut (1%) 

~My thoughts: Again, this is super expected to me as well considering the above statistics. Since i am a skz blog (a boy group) --as are my moots-- it really makes sense that those who filled out this survey would be into male idol smut! 

what was cool for me to see as well was the number of readers who also read female idol smut as well as male idol smut! personally, i more predominately a fan of boy groups compared to the amount of girl group content that I consume (note: i do also consume gg content). because of this, i think that its really up to personal preferences and the content that you consume that can be reflective of the smut content that you consume as well and ya know, whoever gets your hornies going ;) 

Favorite Genres...Ranked! 

*so this was my fault lol i totally formatted this question poorly in google forms so i’ll try to summarize the most popular rankings with my words haha 

*bc of the way that i miffed it (lol) i wasn’t able to get exact measurements, but rough ones! 

Top Five: 

Smut, fluff, angst 

smut n’ fluff (with specific emphasis angst is not desired)  

smut, angst, fluff, 

fluff, smut, angst, 

angst, fluff, smut 

~My thoughts: by far, the most popular ranking that i saw was as follows: smut, fluff, angst. i saw this sososos many times haha also...ya’ll got really creative with your rankings and it made me giggle hehe. So! seeing as this is stay smutblr haha makes total sense that the three most popular rankings that we have were lead by smut! since we’re here for the hornies, i totally get this. 

as for the “smut n’ fluff” or “fluffy smut” category, there was a decent amount of readers that expressed that this mixture is their fave! i’m kinda looping this with the “mixture” option that i also provided for this question since this was the most popular mixture that i was able to observe along with angst + smut. interestingly, i saw a couple mentions of “hurt/comfort” fics with this question too so this went well with this preference. as for number three on this list, we dip into that smut + angst category that I just mentioned as well. there were several individuals who said that they really really enjoy reading smut with angst! 

lastly we get to the four and five on the list: four being fluff, smut and angst. i think this category can also properly represent the folx who tend to like more fluffy fics over the smutty ones, but that can also have suggestive themes too! in five, we have angst, fluff and smut which also is representative of another theme that i saw: as far as plot goes, several people mentioned that they liked fics that start with angst, get fluffier, and then end up in smut, so i think that this could be easily compared! 

*there were also several readers who simply said “all of them” or opted not to rank, (lol me) so this really shows the variability in results! 

Cute stuff ya’ll said (kind of out of context too LOL) 

“... hehE I HOPE THIS MAKES SENSE.” 

“...I KNOW IT [my ranking] LOOKS TERRIBLY SPECIFIC AND IM SO SORRY and I guess the better way to describe that was one that has all 3 with a happy ending lol my b my b.” 

“ ...it just depends on the mood my dude.” 

“... (the smut doesn’t have to be soft i just want the relationship to be soft and i want aftercare and general affection).” 

“(but almost no angst oops)” 

“angst honestly makes me so sad.” 

“... but long fics with angst and slow burn smut/fluff is just WOW.” 

“ my favourite thing is when it's fluffy smut tbh with a little bit of angsty backstory. that is *chefs kiss*” 

“(I'm a sucker for good angsty fics but I cant seem to find them???)” 

“Smut, Fluff, Angst (I tend to be a bit of a purist so no mixture here).” 

“(i can't read pure angst lol) “ 

“(I love how much plot there is in angsty fics but I personally can't read anything without a happy ending, i just can't take it)” 

“ i literally couldn't rank them bc my mood is always changing lmaooo.” 

“ smut, fluff, angst. i know what i’m about.” 

Favorite Length of Fics 

Top Five: 

5k-8k words (27%) 

2k-4k words (25%) 

1k-2k words (20%) 

10k-20k words (15%) 

20k words (12%) 

~My thoughts: this one was super helpful for me to see!! and writers i hope that this is helpful for you too! as someone who tends to rambles (lol) it was very comforting for me to see that long-ish fics are actually preferred! what is really cool about this data too is that it is all super well balanced for the most part and nearly edqual in some parts! how i see this, i think that when it comes to preferences of length, its really reader specific so anyone could like anything! this goes into a little bit the slow burn question that i asked as well too, but it’s really cool to see that when readers do read, they kinda like something to sink their teeth into! 

i wanted to look into how long it takes you to read these words, and it appears that on average, a 5-8k fic can take someone 30 mins to read whereas a 2-4k fic takes about 15mins! idk if this says something about attention spans, but as a writer it warms my heart to know that you’re willing to spend 30 minutes of your time reading something that i wrote! 🥺

another thing i wanted to bring up is the “hard and fast” smut readers--those who like to get straight to the point, get right to business and to the juice! they are also a decently large group too! as for readers who like a nice long fic or a chaptered fic, they are super close in numbers! from this, it’s safe for me to assume that maybe those who like reading longer fics are more inclined to strap in for the long haul with chaptered fics too! 

Favorite AUs to Read 

*the top category that got cut off (thank you google forms lol) is friends to lovers! the one that says “...love” at 48% is enemies to lovers, and the one that has a blanked out title at 35% is strangers to lovers! 

Top Five: 

friends to lovers (65%) 

enemies to lovers (48%) 

high school/college au (40%) 

roommates/neighbors to lovers (38%) 

strangers to lovers (35%) 

Other AUs mentioned by you! 

office au, royal au, vampire au, fake date, idol au, slice of life, boarding school au, childhood friends, soulmate au 

~My thoughts: ok ok so this was RAD to see! i often wonder myself the kinds of aus that my readers would like to see so this was really helpful! circling back on how readers tend to favor fluff n’ smut (friends to lovers) and angst n’ smut (enemies to lovers) i think that we’re seeing some more themes here teehee. 

i like to think that since most of us are of the college age, the college au is super relatable therefore we really like to read it! not to mention that college and high school au’s are super duper cute as well! this is also relatable to the roommates/neighbors to lovers category which is also relatable to us who may or may not have experienced having a roommate or crush on the cutie next door ;) as a couple readers mentioned, they liked more “slice of life” au’s--which both of these categories fall into! i think we as readers like scenarios that feel the most real to us, bc they are the easiest to insert ourselves into :) 

fantasy and thriller, action, more “fiction” tropes are in the minority, however i think that this can be for the exact same reason as i mentioned above where readers like more relatable scenarios. 

Opinions on Slow Burn Fics 

~My thoughts: during polling of this category, this pie cart stayed basically the same the whole time!! that was pretty cute to see! the important take aways from this survey for me is the fact that slow burn fics are generally really loved! again, lol as someone who writes big ol’ long slow burn fics this made me feel a lot better hahaha basically, the general consensus is that slow burn fics are welcome most of the time, however some readers might need to invest a little more time into them! this is also very easily comparable to the above statistics on the length of fics preferred (longer ones being the ones more popular) so here’s a lil more supporting evidence! 

3. Member Specific Analysis 

Bias Survey 

Top Five: 

Chan (19%) 

Changbin (18%) 

Hyunjin (16%) 

Jisung (15%) 

Minho (14%) 

~My thoughts: ok ok ok so this is where it starts getting JUICY hehe (also i apologize once more for making you pick LOL) 

the reason why i asked this question was because i wanted to see if there was a correlation with biases and if there was a probability that members who had more people biasing them (or popularity I guess) were more likely to be read more in smut fics! AND I WAS RIGHT haha isn’t this so fkn cool??? (see more in the next section!) 

for comparison, i went to kprofiles to see their little survey on bias popularity and their top five. 

Kprofiles Top Five: 

Hyunjin (15%) 

Felix (14%) 

Chan (12%) 

Minho (11%) 

Jisung (11%) 

SO oh my god my nerd brain is loosing it over this REE so, what i should note that is those who took this survey on my blog are likely generally different based off of the fact that they are here to read smut specifically, rather than the general holistic popularity survey. It is for this reason that we see Felix much higher on this list and Changbin much lower too (as we know Felix is really well known generally and globally and there are *generally* fewer Bin biased fans). What was really interesting to see what that with Hyunjin, Chan, Jisung and Minho, they still all stayed within the top five! Soooo what i’m saying is.... all of you Hyunjin, Chan, Jisung and Minho fans really must like your smut 😏 and I think that it’s safe to assume that the majority of hard stans come from these four members too ooP (and of course our Binnie too! ;) i see all of ya’ll 👀) 

Members That Get Our Hornies Going 

~My thoughts: AHH DOESN’T THIS LOOK SO SATISFYING? I’M SO PROUD OF HER!!! 

First off, i would like to acknowledge the all mighty power of Bang Christopher Chan for pooling this most hornies god DAMN while i kind of expected this, it is also evidenced in the fics that i write! recently i’ve been tracking the number of notes that my Chan hard thoughts get in comparison to other members and the differences are usually ASTRONOMICAL. He is most def the most popular member for smut for several different reasons, lowkey bc i think that it’s kind of part of his brand?? hahaha if ya know what i mean? 

As for preference from Minho on, we can see a super obvious trend that as age order decreases, we get less and less interest for reading for the member. I’m fairly inclined to believe that this has to do with the fact that most often fans (especially fans older than skz) have a harder time seeing the younger members in a sexual way, so the lack of interest totally makes sense here! As referenced above too, we found that the oldest five members (Chan --> Jisung) are the favorites for smut reading which we can see here as well when the numbers really drop after Felix (Felix coming in at 6th place on my “popularity” survey). 

Bc of these statistics, i do really feel like as a reader, i tend to see much, much more fics involving our top five! As for Seungmin and Jeongin, I’ve also seen people state that they do not read or write content for these two members bc they do not feel as comfortable, so this can also explain the lack of content. Also as we have heard many times, Jeongin is a bit of a hot topic lol within the SSB community, so this makes sense that his readership would be low as well. 

4. Deep Dive into the Juicy Questions (aka confessions) 

Is the fact that you read smut a seggsy secret? 

~My thoughts: JUICE TIME JUICE TIME 

Before I say anything, i wanted to tell you all how all of the juicy questions were totally optional, but i got 100% participation for every single one of them which if find HILARIOUS i guess you all are just as curious as i am?? ;) 

So! for this question, we have an overwhelming amount of readers who said that only their closest friends know which is so cute to me! i love how we can trust our friends with this hehe. i also fall into this category bc like, it’s lowkey kinda fun to talk about? maybe also the fact that i run a smut acct makes me care a little less about it all hahah 

secondly, we have the rather large group of people who said that they wouldn’t dare to tell anyone which is also sooo cute haha idk how to explain it but this was the category that i started out in too until i found the right people! But i totally get ya, reading smut--especially-- kpop smut-- can be embarrassing or cringey to share (not to mention that it is somewhat morally grey LOL) so this is really understandable! 

also my fkn hats off to all of you who said that you didn’t care about who knows that you read smut. here, you dropped this: 👑 you’re much braver than i could ever be. 

When you read smut, do you really feel the hornies? 

~My thoughts: ok, so this one to me was also very interesting for me to see as well! (also if you get uncomfy reading about personal masturbation habits you can skip this one lol) 

the reason why i asked this question was because i wanted to see if people “get off” by reading smut (whether reading it turns you on, or if you choose to use it for “material” to get off on however this might look, might be more of a mental simulation without any real like, physical getting off) candidly, I use smut to get myself off every once and a while, so i wanted to see who else might be in the same group! since becoming a writer however, i read much less and reading it doesn’t hit the same when i was just a reader bc i have a different perspective of being the one writing the smut so i look at it more analytically--i digress. 

it was exciting (teehee get the pun?) for me to see that others also “get off” on smut too--and that they are the majority! teehee it is an honor for me to provide you with the hornies LOL. at the same time, we still have a large group in the “don’t take to seriously” category which was interesting to me too! i can’t speak for these readers, but i interpreted these kind of readers to be the kind who read smut to imagine the scenes and are like “hm, that’s hot, i like thinking about this.” but it doesn’t extend much outside of these thoughts. 

What is the most popular position pairing we like to read? 

*smaller slices of the pie represent multiple favorites which i also seperated back into the categories corresponding to get the best count into what was the most preferred. 

Actual Breakdown: 

dom!idol // sub!reader (51 votes) 

switch!idol // switch!reader (32 votes) 

subidol! // dom!reader (11 votes) 

all of the above (5 votes) 

depends on my mood (2 votes) 

~My thoughts: i feel as if there is a bit of a conflict between which position really is “the best” and while we really can’t know the answer to this question since everyone has different preferences, we can at least find out which one is the most popular to be consumed! 

again, going off of the content that I also see as a reader, i see TONS of dom!idol fics, like, left and right. also, if i may come for all of our necks, 👀 but...there’s really something to be said about the fact that the majority of readers are female and historically and socially, women are typically socialized to be submissive, so i can see why this would be why we would favor this among fics--this is even further evidenced by the fact that male idol smut is also preferred, thus further perpetuating the fact that women have been socialized to be submissive to men specifically. i’m not saying that this is the end all be all reason that this trend is present, but i merely offer it as a possible explaination. this is a much larger sociological conversation, but i think that this trend also showed itself in the types of smut that readers seek out as well--according to demographics. 

sub!idol fics are few and far in-between, and i think that this can also be for the exact same reason as i talked about above! 

When you read smut, do you pick faves to read for? 

~My thoughts: what’s cool about this question is the fact that the “half and half” nature of it also resembles what we saw in the section for favorite members to read! As we see in that chart, 41 out of 100 people said that they read everyone, similar to this question where 48 out of 100 people said that they read for everyone. What this proves to me once more is that when it comes for reading fics, there's a 50/50 chance that the reader will look at, and read it based off of who it is about alone. This is a really powerful statistic, meaning that the members who that a writer might write for really dictates their readership! At the same time, it’s super comforting to know that regardless of what you as a writer might write, there’s always someone out there who is willing to read it! (as evidenced by the 52% of people who read for anyone! this is still a large number) 

Readers: Do you only use Tumblr for smut? 

~My thoughts: when i first started out reading smut, i was in the “i just look up skz smut” group LOL so i wanted to see again if there was anyone like me--which there is! This was more of my interest in seeing if some people view tumblr as “their smut dealer” AHA so that my initial motivation. I was surprised to see that this is not the case! out of 100 readers, 39 of them have their own non-smut blogs and the second largest group of 26 people use tumblr for smut exclusively. 

idk why, but when thinking of this question, it really got me thinking back to the question where i asked if reading smut is a seggsy secret, and there was the group of people who said that it is for them--i’m assuming that these people might be part of the group have non-smut blogs and read on the side teehee. 

at the same time, there is a combined 40 people who said that they use tumblr for smut purposes only which makes sense to me, as those who filled out my survey are readers of my smut blog if you catch my drift haha  

Writers: Do you read smut, or just write it? 

*56 responses correlate with those polled who identified as writers/both as mentioned above 

~My thoughts: this survey is really really cute for me to see bc it means that there is a whole support network or writers out there reading, supporting and here to hype other writers work!! if anything, as a writer because it takes so much time to write, it can become hard to find time to read, hence the “when i have time option lollll (*cough cough* me LOL) thank you all for your honesty with this question! 

5. General Thoughts and Conclusion 

Survey on Exposure 

~My thoughts: i kinda wanna close off this survey by getting on my soapbox for a sec lol. At least for me, the most common ways that readers found my blog were: looking up a tag, and from a repost. i think that this really goes to show the power of exposure and certain tactics that you can use to increate readership of your account! new readers, if you’re reading this and you’re just starting out, tagging your stuff is so so important! 

also, as i have said and so so, many other content creators have said countless times before, reposting is so crucial and it takes little to no effort to repost a creators work so that it might reach others! as a writers, we spend hours, and i mean hours creating content, editing, drafting, creating headers all out own time to publish something that we are proud of and for you to enjoy! it means the world to authors when you reblog their work and even more when you give feedback too because this is our passion! we write for free in the middle of our busy lives so the validation makes it all worth it!! 

Conclusion 

~phew! so that’s it! once again, i wanted to thank you all from the bottom of my heart from participating in this lil study! i really hope that it is helpful to writers and readers alike! i wanna give ya all the biiiiiigest Ro huggies!! 💕💕

as i mentioned above, the answers for the unpopular opinions will be made into their own post bc there is a ton of them and i didn’t want to clutter up this doc lol 

don’t ya ever forget that you are important, loved, and special! happy hornies my cuties ;)

Good Girls S4 Spoiler Survey Results

Hello! I’ve finally gotten around to compiling the results for the S4 Good Girls Spoiler Survey. Breakdown is below the cut, but one of the things that became apparent is that there are a lot of varied opinions on it!

Interestingly though, we do seem to be a fandom that mostly doesn’t mind spoilers:

Far and away the biggest thing people considered spoilers were major plot points with 43 votes, followed by behind the scenes leaks (runsheets, location shots, etc) with 32 votes. All in their twenties were:

Episode synopses with 26 votes

Interviews with 25 votes

Sneak peeks with 24 votes

Episode promo pics with 21 votes

And then:

General plot arcs with 19 votes

Minor plot points (i.e. returning minor characters like Baby Tyler) with 15 votes

Promos and trailers with 14 votes

General set pictures with 11 votes

There was also a write-in vote here which said:

I'm generally fine with some spoilers and bts, but I really dislike knowing when minor characters return/ shows up! For me that's what "spoils" it!

These ones are pretty even, with reaction posts and episode discussion being the main thing considered post-episode spoilers.

And the major question of this survey is how long after an episode airs do you think content from that episode should be tagged as spoilers, and look, as you can see from the pie chart, there really isn’t a consistent answer for this. 56 people answered this question and the most anything got was 12.

How that breaks down is this:

3 days and 1 week tied with 12 votes each.

1 day was a very close second with 11 votes

2 days and Not at All tied again with 8 votes each

4 days got 2 votes

5 days got 1 votes

There were also two write-ins which were:

1 hour lol

Doesn't matter bc we get it extra late in france. The longer the better but yk. It's only fair to a certain point to ask to tag spoilers imo 

And then the write-in round:

I think the bulk of our GG fandom on tumblr would be considered hyper fans versus casual fans and it is more likely that casual fans would be more leery of spoilers and picky about what they consider spoilers whereas hyper fans are more likely to consume the episodes within a 48-72 hour period of it airing and generally devour any leaks or sneak peeks. I feel like tumblr functions as a more concentrated space where fans have a specific blog for a specific fandom and maybe because this platform is what it is, we don't generally need a longer grace period of spoiler etiquette. Not everyone feels this way though and it differs for everyone but that's my general feeling. I watch when it airs on my own timezone and when I saw people on tumblr begin liveblogging about the premiere I simply got off of tumblr and didn't come back until I watched the premiere.

if spoilers are that much of a deal breaker for you, it's your responsibility to protect yourself and you probably shouldn't be on the internet until you watch because inevitably something is going to get through. waiting 2-3 days to stop tagging is more than enough imo and how I've always seen it done in other fandoms (if people tag at all)

I love spoilers. Let me know if something is worth my time. Usually I won’t even watch a show until I know how it ends so I know going into it how mad I’m going to be. So weird to be following a fandom when it’s active. People sure do love to be pressed. 

I try and wait until the next episode airs to stop tagging spoilers for anything referencing the previous episode. I think it's a fair amount of time for people who plan to watch as the season airs. 

i think spoilers should be tagged the whole week after the episodes airs in general. that’s how all other shows are tagged on tumblr:) 

Yeah I’m not going to tag stuff. I get why people do but I’d rather people just unfollow me. 

I don't really care about spoilers, I'm immune 

In conclusion

There really doesn’t seem to be a consensus on this, so I think it’s up to individual people’s discretion as to what and for how long they tag things, but hopefully this might help people make those calls!

I personally will be tagging most things as spoilers still, but post-episode, I’m going to be tagging spoilers for 3 days. I will though still be, as always, using my episode tags, so people can blacklist for instance 4.02 or 4.03 or whichever episode they don’t want to see content for. I use these episode tags across asks and answers, gifsets, reaction posts and whatever, so hopefully nothing trickles through.

I hope people find this as interesting and useful as I did! :-)

Translation: Itaru Chigasaki SSR [Memories are in the Game] - My Personal Fairy Director Part 1

Itaru’s been holed up in his room. Just what is he doing?

Part 2 || Part 3

Izumi: (Huh. Has Itaru-san woken up yet? I didn’t see him at breakfast…)

Chikage: ….

Izumi: Ah, Chikage-san, is Itaru-san in your room right now?

Chikage: Well, he’s been there all day... Did you need something from him?

Izumi: There was something I wanted to discuss with him regarding KniRoun’s main performanceーー

Chikage: Hmm, I’m not sure if now is a good time.

Izumi: ?

(What a questionable expression he’s making. Maybe it’s Gamer’s High Time? [1])

(For now, I’ll just go and check.)

*knocks*

Izumi: Itaru-san, can I talk to you for a second?

Itaru: ーーI’m tied up at the moment so go ahead and let yourself in.

Izumi: Pardon the intrusion.

Itaru: ...Ugh, why am I getting shot at from that angle.

Izumi: (It really was Gamer’s High Time...But he’s sitting at the PC today instead of the television.)

Are you playing a PC game?

Itaru: Yep, I’m beta testing KniRoun ONLINE, which is slated to release next year.

Izumi: Beta testing?

Itaru: Before a game gets released, the developers recruit participants as public beta testers and have them play the game.

They get results from surveys, reflect on the responses, make improvements, then release the final product.

So, this time I applied as an advance beta tester when they sent out recruitments, and thanks to Hoshii-san’s influence, I got a spot as a priority tester.

Since it’s only available for a limited time as a small scale beta test this weekend, I thought I might as well take advantage of it while I still can and play it until I get sick of it.

Izumi: So you were in the middle of Gamer’s High Time…

Itaru: Ya, and I dragged Banri in too since I figured I could get ahead in the game faster than the other beta testers with him around.

I want to play it thoroughly and send a solid report of my impressions, enough to equal Hoshii-san’s generosity.

Izumi: (He really loves KniRoun, doesn’t he…)

Itaru: That’s how it’s gonna be, so I’ll be staying in my room all weekend, kthnx.

Izumi: (Well then, looks like I can’t discuss it with him right now. It’s not urgent though so I’ll ask him next week.)

Have you eaten breakfast yet?

Itaru: Mm, not yetーー

Izumi: It’s already noon. Since you’re preoccupied, shall I bring you lunch instead?

Itaru: ...Director-san.

Izumi: ?

Itaru: I’m really glad you’re our director.

Izumi: ...Even if you say that while posing seductively and giving me The Smolder [2], that won’t make me feel happy. Oh my god.

What would you like for lunch?

Itaru: Something I can eat with one hand would be great.

Izumi: I’ll bring some rice balls and side dishes that fit your requirement, then.

Itaru: ーーWoah, that was close!

Izumi: (He’s completely absorbed in gaming…)

(Huh...It’s totally different from the mobile game version we played before. The graphics are super pretty.)

(Still, I can take a guess and know exactly which character he’s playing.)

Ah, Gwen’s with you.

Itaru: It’s cuz I’m using Lancelot.

Gwen always follows me around, and she provides auto-recovery during combat. I’m seriously getting healed in more ways than one.

I would work so much harder if I had a Fairy Gwen following me around in my life as an office worker...

Izumi: Is work getting busy?

Itaru: It kinda is. Actually, I was supposed to be working during my time off, but I’ve been completely avoiding it so now I’m scared to go in on Monday.

Izumi: That sounds rough. Be strong…

(Prioritizing games even though he knew better, that’s Itaru-san for you...)

Itaru: Beta testing ends in two hours, huh…

Banri: [Let’s log off soon-]

Itaru: Hah?

[We’ve still got 4 more runs to go.]

Banri: [It’s already 3 A.M. I’ve got first period tomorrow so I can’t.]

Itaru: [*Itaru grumbling noises*...]

Banri: [GG.]

System Message: NEO has logged out.

Itaru: Can I get an F in chat… Guess I’ll run it solo. At the very least, I wanna rank up one more time…

….

………

ーーHell yeah, ranked up just barely before maint!

System Message: Beta testing will close in five more minutes. Please log out as soon as possible.

Itaru: Next, I’ll put together my impressions…

…Zzz.

TL Notes and Comments:

[1] 怒涛のゲームタイム which would translate literally to Frenzy Game Time but. I couldn’t resist throwing in a reference to his chara song LOL

[2]  キメ顔 which means posing seductively with a sexy or sultry look, but once again, I couldn’t resist throwing in that reference either LOLOL

A huge thank you to Nui (@/starrynuinui on Twitter) for providing me with Itaru’s backstage stories!! THIS ONE’S FOR YOU NUI!! 

1) Itaru breathing sounds are dangerous. 2) my itaizus...they thrive in this story... 3) now we know why his unbloomed SSR looks like that LOL 

Parts 2 and 3 will be up soon! I’ll slowly be adding my tls to the A3! wiki as soon as I can figure it out haha- so look forward to that too!

Part 2 || Part 3

Choices Academy

Title: Dodgeball Part 1

Disclaimer: This is a small series of incorrect quotes where characters in the entirety of Choices have interactions during a day in middle school. 

MC Names: Casey (ES M!MC, mine), Kite (Blades M!ElfMC, mine), Emily (ES F!MC by @princessstellaris), Julia (RoD MC by @princessstellaris), Sydney (BB MC by @mechaspirit)

Taglist: @princessstellaris, @mechaspirit, @tyrilsstarfury, @itsbrindleybinch, @silverlitskies, @bellaraines

It was PE period for Class 1-A, and everyone’s gathered in the gym. However, instead of any lectures or physical activities happening, there is a discourse occuring between 2 particular students.

Emily: Seriously?! Are you freaking insane?! 😠

Jax: You’re the one here who’s lost their sanity! 😠

Logan: Come on, guys! We’re in class right now. Please cool it! 😱

Emily glares at Logan and puffs up.

Emily: Don’t get in our way, outsider! This is between me and Samurai Jack here. 😤

Jax scoffs.

Jax: I thought that as classmates, all of us can get along. But I see now, that there are those who are worse than ferals. 😡

Emily: You stole the words right outta my mouth! You vampires, like your habits, suck! 😡

Kite gets in between the two.

Kite: Guys, seriously! Does it really matter what condiment you use on fried chicken?! 😤

---------- FLASHBACK ----------

It all started just a few minutes ago when Emily, Diego, Imtura and Julia were discussing about lunch plans.

Diego: So, yesterday, Imtura and I finished our martial arts training with the other apprentices, then she treated us with fried chicken meals at the Blight’s Furnace diner. It was delish! 😍

Imtura: Yep, it was fried to perfection. Like how you humans say it, “chef’s kiss”!

Emily chuckles and gets an idea before turning towards the Bloodbound clique.

Emily: Yo, BB crew! You guys wanna come with us at the Blight’s Furnace diner? My treat. 😁

Adrian: Sounds intriguing. I’m in. 😊

Sydney: Me too! 😍

Kamilah: Oh, I have heard of their fried chicken meals. They are simply divine. 😯

Jax: Fried chicken, eh? 👀

---------- END OF FLASHBACK ----------

Logan: Well, I’m sorry for even asking the question. 😑

Emily raises an eyebrow towards Logan.

Emily: Okay then, Logan. Lemme ask you this; what do you use in fried chicken? Salt & Pepper, or Ketchup? 🤨

Logan shrugs.

Logan: Mayonnaise. 😐

Emily and Jax roll their eyes after hearing a completely different answer.

Emily: Ugh... you’re uncultured too? 🙄

Logan: Eh?

Jax: Pitiful. 😒

Logan: EH??? 😱

Logan shakes his head and composes himself.

Logan: What’s wrong with Mayonnaise? It’s the right condiment! 

Everyone suddenly hears someone clearing their throat. The class turn to see their PE teacher, Ximena, crossing her arms.

Ximena: I’ve been listening this entire time and it seems like people are more eager to know what to eat later than what to learn now. 😤

The class quickly assembled themselves in front of Ximena as she sighs.

Ximena: You know what? Just to put an end to this debate, let’s all do a survey about the issue.

A while later, 21 students partook of the poll that Ximena initiated. The other 10 students stood aside, not interested in participating or not wanting to be part of a discourse. These 9 students are Diego, Raj, Michelle, Zahra, Grace, Aleister, Kade, Threep, Colt and Lily. Ximena observes the amount of people that prefer either Salt & Pepper, Ketchup or Mayonnaise.

Ximena: Okay, okay. The groups aren’t as even as I thought. 👀

The results of the survey are as follows:

Mayonnaise: Logan, Nia, Loola, Kite, Jake, Adrian, Kamilah, Mona

Ketchup: Jax, Casey, Furball, Tyril, Sydney, Quinn, Sean

Salt & Pepper: Emily, Imtura, Estela, Craig, Julia, Mal

The people of the different groups then start discussing about their shared tastes with each other and their differed tastes from the others.

Kite: Huh, odd. I’d assume that Julia would side on Logan on this one, given how much she loves him. 🤔

Logan: Sniffs. Julia, my dear... 🤧

Julia waves at Logan, acting adorable.

Julia: Sorry, sweetheart. I still love you, but I prefer salt & pepper on my fried chicken. 🥺

Logan chuckles.

Logan: I know. Just playin’. Love you too. 😆

Meanwhile, Emily glares at her husband, Jake, and her own twin brother, Casey.

Emily: TRAITORS!! 😤

Jake shrugs with a smirk.

Jake: Sowwy, Pwincess. I like my chicken mayo’d. 😗

Casey smiles shyly.

Casey: I like mine with ketchup, Em. Sorry. 😅

Emily turns away and puffs her cheeks. Meanwhile, in the Ketchup group...

Tyril: So, you prefer ketchup too?

Quinn: Yes, I’ve always liked it when I was younger. It’s so sweet. 😊

Tyril looks at Furball.

Tyril: Even your snow fox prefers ketchup? 🤨

Quinn nods, holding Furball close with seriousness in her eyes.

Quinn: Absolutely, no further questions. 👀

Furball smiles.

Furball: Mrrf! 💕

Imtura chuckles while being with Estela, Mal and Craig.

Imtura: Haha! I like this, the strongest students choosing the strongest flavor. 😁

Estela: My Tio used to cook fried chicken with salt & pepper for me and my mom. They were my favorite. 😊

Craig: They just taste good together. Ketchup and mayo can suck it! 😤

Mal: I’ve never even tried the two. I’m so, as you modern people say, “old school” compared to you. 😅

Kite looks around and notices that Mayonnaise has the most voters.

Kite: Well, I guess Mayo gets the win in this? 😯

Logan grins.

Logan: Right then! That means Mayo is the best condiment for chicken. I guess everyone should just accept tha--

Emily and Jax quickly raise their hands towards Logan with rage.

Emily: SHUT IT!! 😡

Jax: SHUT IT!! 😡

Logan: Wtf?! 😱

Ximena sighs at the still occurring discourse and just grabs a dodgeball from the storage room. 

Ximena: I guess we’ll just settle this in a game then.

Casey: A dodgeball game? 😯

Ximena: Yes. Each team has to prove everyone else that their preferred condiment is superior through their sheer efforts.

Jax scoffs.

Jax: I’m game... if Emily isn’t scared of losing. 👀

Emily: If anyone’s losing here, it’s y’all Ketchup and Mayonnaise heathens. 👀

Kite: ...So much for making this fun for all of us. 😑

Logan: GG (Good Game). 😅

Ximena then turns to the 9 uninterested students.

Ximena: Anyone wanna join to even out the teams?

The students shake their heads and Ximena groans. She then spots 3 other students passing by the gym; Aerin, Ava and Atlas.

Ten minutes later, the participating players are all gathered at the center of the gym with a drawn circle split into 3 areas for the 3 teams to occupy. Ximena stands outside the circle with a whistle and the other students spectate from the seats.

Ximena: You can all use your abilities, magic or otherwise, and those who are hit are out of the game.

Atlas: Hold the fork up!

The students turn to Atlas, puffing.

Atlas: Why are we being dragged into this? 😤

Ximena: To even the numbers.

Atlas: Even the numbers?!

Atlas points to the spectating students.

Atlas: Why can’t you ask them?! 😤

The spectating students shake their heads.

Colt: Trust me, buddy, as much as I want to participate, we’re surrounded by powerful people who can use magic and such. Not my forté. 😑

Aleister: I believe they’re just being immature. 😤

Grace: Me too. 😕

Michelle: Me three! There are better and less childish ways to settle this. 😠

Threep: I may be a nesper but I am not physically or magically capable to play. 😗

Zahra shrugs.

Zahra: I just don’t wanna join PE class. 😒

Lily: Right?!

The two punk girls share a high five.

Raj: I prefer all 3 condiments, and I’m not much into favorites. 😅

Atlas: Condiments? 🤨

Emily: Yes! And the Salt & Pepper team are counting on you, Lunar Lady. 😁

Atlas: What is going on....? 😑

Aerin pats Atlas’s back.

Aerin: I do not know either, but let us try to have fun, my friend. 😊

Atlas recoils from Aerin.

Atlas: Ey, back off, Dread Boy! 😤

Meanwhile, in the Ketchup team, Ava converses with her teammates.

Ava: So, magic and abilities are allowed, eh?

She cracks her knuckles with an devious grin.

Ava: This is gonna be fun. 😈

Sydney channels her vampiric powers as her eyes gleam bloodshot red.

Sydney: Oh, it will be. 👀

Sean: Let’s not end up killing people please. 😅

While the teams prepare, Kade and Diego are holding microphones, tasked to act as commentators of the game.

Diego: Alright, everybody! Welcome to the 2020 Choices Dodgeball games! I am your host, Diego Soto. 😁

Kade: And I’m your host, Kade. Today’s match shall decide which the best condiment to use in fried chicken. 😊

Ximena blows the whistle, starting the game!!

The upcoming patch for League of Legends will remove the ability to communicate with the enemy team

News The upcoming patch for League of Legends will remove the ability to communicate with the enemy team GO News Publication Andre

Cross-team conversation in League of Legends has been disabled, at least for the time being. On Tuesday, Riot revealed that the popular all-chat function (also known as /all talk) would be removed from League of Legends’ upcoming patch in order to curb toxicity. The function will be deactivated for a few patches as Riot evaluates how players react to it being removed from the game.

According to a blog post on the move, the League of Legends developer said that all chat is a vehicle for toxic behavior and that it expects that totally removing it would result in less negative behavior. Even while all communication in League of Legends is already turned off by default, the new adjustment shuts it off for all players — even those who initially opted in — as well.

Outside of games, the most common means to communicate with opposing teams in League of Legends is via all chat. Teams may still communicate with one another indirectly via the use of emotes, which are still accessible in-game.

The reaction to the elimination of all conversation has been overwhelmingly negative, with players recalling all of the bizarre, wonderful, and enjoyable bonding moments they’ve had with the other team while playing there. Additionally, players are memorializing terms such as “glhf” (good luck, have fun) and “gg” (good game), which will be rendered meaningless in League of Legends as a result of this change.

Riot has said that team talk is a poisonous feature of League of Legends – several players expressed their dissatisfaction with team communications in reaction to the removal of all chat by writing that they believe team communications are worse than all chat. Team chat, on the other hand, will continue to be available for team communication and coordination, according to Riot.

Just a few hours after making his statement, as well as receiving an overwhelming unfavorable reaction, League of Legends game director Andrei van Roon (the original article’s author) came to Twitter to explain a few of the things that were not addressed in the initial post.

A few more all chat test details: – Plan is to test for a couple of patches, then survey player opinion – Potential responses then include keeping the change, reverting it entirely, keeping it in regions positive on it and reverting elsewhere, changing which queues it applies to

— Andrei van Roon (@RiotMeddler) October 12, 2021

In his tweet, van Roon notes that the modification will be deployed for a few patches as a test, after which Riot will send out surveys to see how well it worked out for everyone. Depending on the results of the poll, the developer will choose its next step, which might include deactivating the function, bringing it back intact, or even creating a unique solution for each location – among other options.

This change will be implemented, at least initially, with the release of League of Legends patch 11.21, which is slated for release sometime next week.

The post The upcoming patch for League of Legends will remove the ability to communicate with the enemy team first appeared on GO News Publication.

[freedom-of-fanfic]

you seem to have some level of interest in voltron and the current fandom, while also having a seemingly good understanding of fandom history more broadly, so a question from someone with limited fandom exposure and only from tumblr, where it feels impossible to understand the grand scheme: what is the voltron fandom like, compared to other/past fandoms? are we large? more minor-dominated? is anti culture abnormally prominent? is there more or less meta? any thoughts on where we fit appreciated.

These questions are very interesting to me. Answers are from my personal experience only/reading I’ve done, though, and mostly anecdotal.

disclaimer/caveat that tumblr - web 2.0 in general - really changed how fandom looks in general to a degree that’s hard to explain. It raised its visibility to the rest of the world. it raised fandom’s internal visibility by giving lurkers the ability to run blogs without speaking up (just resharing the works of others) and by eliminating personal control over how far blog content spreads. I think it made fandom bigger than it used to be. and I think it was in just the right time and just the right place to sweep a lot of young people up into fandom just as internet access was becoming faster, more widespread, and more unsupervised/common for even young participants.

is voltron fandom large?

it’s hard to gauge the size of fandoms, particularly when there’s no central community with members to count or some such. It’s certainly active. klance is consistently among the most frequently used ship tags on tumblr and sheith frequently places as well (the two most popular ships in the fandom). In only 18 months, VLD fandom has produced 33,000 fics on AO3 alone - never mind other fanfic sites like wattpad and ff.net. Not counting multi-canon brands (Marvelverse, DCU, etc), VLD places 16th on a list of all fandoms by number of fanworks (on AO3). that’s … way active. ridiculously active.

compared with other fandoms, I’d say that its volume of activity to (likely) number of participants is high. For a cartoon that doesn’t air on network television, it also seems decently large (but this is merely speculation). However, it’s quite dwarfed by the megafandoms generated by live action movies (Star Wars, MCU, etc), which are usually spurred on by constant canon additions like cartoons and comics and books.

but for fun, and in a not remotely scientific way, let’s take a stab at the size of VLD tumblr fandom with some numbers-producing tumblr-based vld fan content.

the vld discourse survey, advertised on tumblr, has almost 1900 responses now. 554 of the responses are from people who count themselves as antis (about 30% of the fandom.) almost exactly double that number (~1100 people) signed the anti-run petition demanding character ages from March 2017, which was also advertised on tumblr.

let’s extrapolate, then, that if antis are representative of the response rate of all of vld tumblr fandom (I would guess pro shippers were less likely to respond, if there was a difference: in my experience antis are eager to get counted and shippers are not), half of the vld tumblr fandom took the discourse survey. that makes ~3,800 people who are actively participating in vld fandom via tumblr. (other active vld fan gathering sites are on 4chan, twitter, amino apps, and discord channels, with overlap between sites.)

is voltron fandom more minor-dominated? 

questions like these always get me wondering so I ran some actual numbers on this:

assuming this survey is accurate to fandom demographics - which it isn’t, because self-selecting surveys never are*, but it may have a rough correspondence - about 42% of the vld fandom is composed of people 17 and younger, whereas about 58% are 18 or older.

about half the fandom - 49.6% - are of an age to potentially be in US high school (14-18 years old), and about 40% of fandom is potentially the ‘normal’ ages for undergrad college (18-22 years old). 25% are of post-grad age or older (22+).

I’d guess this fandom has a high number of young members compared to fandoms for live action movies or comic books. But compared to other cartoons, I would speculate that VLD fandom has a higher percentage of older fans due to the show being a reboot of an older series, designed to appeal to anime fans (skews older than american animation fans), draws on the (LoK)Avatar audience due to being the same studio & part of the same creative team (older teens/young adult audience), and not airing on network television (smaller young audience). 

*if anyone is underrepresented it’s probably older fans, who are more wary of fandom survey results being misused and have less presence on tumblr compared to younger fans.

is anti culture abnormally prominent? 

yes. yes it is.

once again consulting the vld discourse survey (it has a pretty large response pool, okay?), 1 out of 3 vld fans consider themselves anti-shippers. (again: as a self-selecting survey these numbers may not be accurate, and I would guess antis are overrepresented, but still.)

I speculate this is because anti-shipping principles were peculiarly suited to ‘support’ klance and attack competing ship sheith. as 4/5ths of antis say klance is their primary ship, and sheith was the original target of anti-shipping (the rest came afterwards in response to claims of hypocrisy), this seems to be a likely motive for young klance fans who felt uncomfortable with sheith or jealous of perceived sheith support to slip headfirst into anti-shipping as a whole.*

(and vld anti-shipping is made up mostly of the youngest fandom members. the majority of 13-17 year old fandom participants are anti-shippers; the majority of 18+ fandom participants are pro-shipping. 64% of all anti-shippers are 13-17 years old and 32% are college-aged. the average age of neutrals falls between anti- and pro- shippers; pro-shippers are about 40% college-aged, 30% high schoolers, and 30% 23+.)

I also think the prominence of anti-shipping in vld fandom spurred the growth and popularity of anti culture in other young fandoms. it’s now somewhat normal for fandoms to have an anti-fandom ready to fight them from inception.

to be clear: vld fandom didn’t start anti-shipping, just made it more well-known as a phenomenon due to how widespread it is. and anti-shipping - which is mostly American, like English-speaking vld fandom - has its roots in more widespread cultural issues like the authoritarian movement in America/the West, Christian Dominionism, poor education,radical feminist ideology, mra/gg/4chan/alt-right argument techniques, and the extreme partisanship that web 2.0 promotes and exacerbates.

*anti-shippers will say this is reducing the important stuff they protest to a ship war. but no matter what antis believe they stand for now, it’s hard to deny that a lot of pro-klance antis got their start because of liking klance and hating sheith - you know. ship war material! - and looking for a way to justify their feelings. (you’re allowed to hate sheith and like klance without being an anti, by the way.)

does voltron fandom have more or less meta (comparatively)?

vld fandom is surprisingly alive with meta. this fandom loves to take canon apart down to its bones, making theories about future events, ship manifestos, character analyses, and more - and fandom spreads it around, too. meta can get hundreds - thousands - of notes. it’s quite beautiful.

this may be the silver lining of the prominence of anti-shipping. anti-shipping - shame culture, really - makes fandom hesitant to take creative risks because the chance of being harassed and shamed for doing something wrong feels high. people write less fic with risky premises, draw less fanart that isn’t fluff/neutral-toned, etc, because everything you do you also have to defend.

but man, it really makes the meta scene amazing. being forced to constantly prove that xyz has a canon basis, or isn’t problematic, or that a character did or didn’t do something, or explain why you like or don’t like x - or, if you haven’t had to actually argue, having to constantly think about it - has really whetted vld’s fandom’s appetite for meta - dissecting canon to find and share hints of weird story theories or future romantic interaction. 

and because meta directly references the text for its content, I think it’s the most accepted kind of fanwork in vld fandom. after all, you got it from canon. if you’re going to debate on anything, it’s as likely to be the canon itself as the meta.

hope you enjoyed this vld fandom snapshot. :)
