rules: give us the links to your fic with the most hits, second most kudos, third most comments, fourth most bookmarks, fifth most words, and fic with the least words (feel free to interpret however you would like; if not on AO3, can be on Tumblr or FFNET!).

Tagged by @rivalhughs !!!

Most hits: The Town of Anywhere, with 3493 hits!!! I’m surprised it has that many, honestly. I always thought of it as kind of a niche thing but ig people read it? (Also, I swear I haven’t abandoned it!!! The next chapter is in the works and I’ll get around to it eventually)

Second most kudos: A Burning Question, with 184 kudos! My Encanto/Disney Hercules crack crossover one-shot that I wrote in one sitting while heavily caffeinated one night.

Third most comments: Ties of Blood and Water, with 57 comments! My offering to the Hetalia fandom that I’m also surprised got as much attention as it did (also my personal favorite to reread……ngl I kinda cooked with this one)

Fourth most bookmarks: Falling, with 27 bookmarks! Another one of my one-shots, this time a ship one with AE-3803/U-1146 from Cells At Work! I’ve noticed that this fic got a resurgence in popularity recently, possibly because of the Cells At Work fandom becoming active again? (Speaking of, I really hope the live action movie comes to the U.S. eventually bc I wanna watch it so bad)

Fifth most words: Tales from the Labyrinth, with 19,336 words! A one-shot collection based in the world of my other fic Unto the Labyrinth — and a world thats canon status has been absolutely decimated by the release of Sunrise On The Reaping! Yay for me! /s

Least words: Midnight Snack, with only 228 words! A little Legend of Korra one-shot fic I wrote for a challenge.

I tag @toxic-luck, @elephant-in-the-pride-parade, @chibidashie, and @yumiribbon, as well as whoever else wants to do this!

Rewatching Star Trek TOS after 20 years and I'm once again in my Spirk brainrot era. So good to be back, I missed these silly space guys.

Considering how every time a Beast cookie gets released they get more and more obsessed with the Ancient they are associated with I'm tempted to think by the time we get to Silent Salt they'll be like

Would you say Vil beats Leona in the scandalous chest territory or is Vil's chest too small

ARE YOU FR AsKING ME tO COMPARE VIL AnD L*onA BOObS 😭 What has my life come to… OTL

If you take a look at both Vil’s Luxe Couture and Relax in Room models, you’ll see that both are lower cut than Leona’s School Uniform and Playful Dress.

Leona’s Halloween Dress is lower cut than Vil’s Luxe Couture and Relax in Room outfits. However, the opening for his Halloween shirt is slimmer than both of Vil’s looks. Vil seems to be showing more skin overall despite his cut being higher than Leona’s.

This was actually mathematically confirmed by Discord user Murtha:

If we take a look at the Episode of Octavinelle manga, Leona seems to sleep completely shirtless, sooo... I guess if you count the manga, Leona has Vil beat in the "who is more exposed" competition 🤡

In terms of their actual physiques, I tried to find the most skintight outfits for both Vil and Leona to compare. That would be Vil’s Beans Camp and Leona’s Magift/Spelldrive Uniform! Aaah, but it’s difficult to see any real dimension… We also don’t see enough of Leona’s to compare him to Vil’s from the earlier models.

We should keep in mind that the live 2D models don’t always accurately reflect the actual characters! (Think about how different the P.E. Uniforms for Silver and Sebek are much beefier in their card artwork than in their models, or how Malleus should reasonably tower over all other characters on the game screen.) So it may not be fair to even use Vil and Leona’s models as reference.

Based on in-universe lore and not personal bias whatsoever/j, I do believe that Vil would be less… defined… since he does indicate that he doesn’t want to become too muscular. From his P.E. Uniform voice lines: “Harmony between one's body and attire is paramount. I have to be careful to avoid getting...’swole,’ as it were.” Epel also notes that Vil's physique is that of a "beanpole", stating: "This beanpole (Vil) ain't nothin' compared ta the Savanaclaw housewarden." This is in contrast to Leona, who does appear to engage in physical activity or training, at least for his club activities even if he’s often depicted as napping or slacking off.

So!! My conclusion is: Vil is showing more skin, but Leona strikes me as… larger in size 💀 if that makes sense! Both scandalous, but in different ways.

Outside of Vil and Leona though, Beachwear/Tropical Wear Floyd has the most open shirt (while still technically being closed); it exposes his belly button too. If we're counting open shirts too, Beachwear/Tropical Wear Jack is showing the most boobage.

... And here's some more math (also done by Murtha!) to prove it:

The SSR and SR Beachwear/Tropical Wear cards all feature the characters completely shirtless as well. That count includes Floyd, Lilia, Riddle, and Ace!

It is my god given right to contribute to the Jason Todd being a fanfic writer, although I don't think I've heard anybody talk about the obvious discourse that would be him being taken hostage by the AO3 author's curse.

Just imagine Young!Jason Todd being in the middle of a very nice and followed fanfiction, being loyal to his readers and just disappearing out of nowhere.

Of course after being murdered, a fanfic he was writing was not gonna be on his mind given the whole 'Crawling out of your own grave and being thrown into the Lazarus Pit' schtick, so he just... forgets about it.

His readers left on a very nice cliffhanger and his work left in the dust like countless others just for a few years to pass, him leaving the league to go back to Gotham and become a crime lord, make peace with Bruce and then he just- uploads a new chapter out of the bloom.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Sorry about being gone for a few years, I got murdered and came back to life, turns out the curse is very real lol, but don't worry I am back and I'm gonna keep the regular schedule of uploading on Fridays, thank you so much for waiting <333

Can someone get this guy out of my head bro 💔💔💔

Close ups…

Oooh you guys wanna draw him so bad oooooooh

[eepy-cookies]

okay but how is no one thinking of this for a burning spice x y/n fanfic or any burning spice ship!

so you know if you heat sand you get glass right, so what if burning spice can heat certain materials and make gem shards with his bear hands!

It is a good idea but Burning Spice Cookie DOES have limits when it comes to work. I can imagine Y/N assisting or cheering Burning Spice to keep going till he finally got it!

(ngl Burning Spice Cookie is fun to draw)
