Have you noticed how much Goncharov fic is femslash? it's a lot. the whole phenomenon is wonderful, but this is probably the most fascinating thing about it (to me, at least)

I have noticed, and it is fascinating! To update some of my Goncharov stats from 3 days ago, now that the AO3 fandom presence has grown from 40 to over 500 fanworks (!!!):

With those smaller numbers a few days ago, I was really just goofing around (you can't conclude much about which ships are "winning" with only 40 fanworks, but I wanted to contribute some fun graphs to the Goncharov phenomenon anyway). Now that there are so many works, femslash is clearly leading the fic world, even though a lot of the meta and articles I see people sharing primarily mention the Andrey/Goncharov homoeroticism.

This is really interesting, and I wonder what all is driving it. Do the actors who play Andrey & Goncharov not speak as much to slash fans as the actors who play Katya & Sofia? is it the particular scenes that the women characters are in that speak to the fans the most? Was there some particularly inspirational early F/F fic or fanart that spurred more? Are "imaginary canons" (such a goofy genre name!) more likely to generate more femslash than other canons? And/or are there other reasons? Would love to hear theories.

Tatort Saarbrücken/Ace Attorney parallels

To celebrate less than two weeks until FdG airs, I finally took the time to proofread this text about parallels between Ace Attorney and Tatort Saarbrücken that I wrote almost a year ago and then somehow forgot to post. Enjoy!

I have recently noticed that there are a lot of parallels between the relationship between Miles Edgeworth and Phoenix Wright, and the story of Adam Schürk and Leo Hölzer, so I decided to write them down. I have no idea if there is any overlap between these fandoms at all, so probably no one else will care about this but whatever. This should go without saying, but this has spoilers for the first Ace Attorney game, and the first three episodes of Tatort Saarbrücken. I’m also aware that all of these overlaps are most likely a coincidence, but I wanted to compile them anyway, because I thought that it was really interesting, and maybe someone else will think so, too.

You may ask: Who are these people? I will try to summarise their stories first, and I will go into more detail later:

Let’s start with Phoenix and Miles: They were in the same class when they were nine years old and became friends after Phoenix was accused of stealing someone’s lunch money, when Miles was the first one (and together with Larry the only one) to stand up for him and defended him in the subsequent class trial. A few months after that, Miles’ father Gregory, a defense attorney, is murdered and Miles vanishes (he is adopted by Manfred von Karma and presumably moved to Germany, but Phoenix doesn’t know that). Years later, Phoenix reads a newspaper article about Miles becoming a prosecutor, and he decides to become a defense attorney to meet him and find out what happened to him.

They meet again when Miles prosecutes Phoenix’s second case as a defense attorney after not having seen each other for 15 years. After working two cases together, Miles is arrested as a murder suspect, and Phoenix defends him in court, even though no one else wants to defend him and he is almost the only one who is on his side. In this trial, he finds out that Manfred von Karma, the prosecutor in the current case, murdered Miles’ father 15 years ago after he got a penalty because of him. Then, he decided to adopt and mentor Miles, only to frame him for murder 15 years later as an elaborate revenge on Miles’ father. By uncovering this, Phoenix saves Miles from being convicted for murder.

Now to Adam and Leo: They became friends after Adam defended Leo from bullies at school. Adam’s father was physically abusive towards him and beat him regularly. One day, he catches Adam and Leo hanging out together and beats Adam up so badly that Leo thinks that he’s going to kill him, and decides to step in by hitting him on the head with a spade. Adam’s father falls into a coma, and Leo and Adam burn the garage to hide the crime. A few months after that, Adam vanishes, apparently leaving Leo to think that he has died.

Later, they both become police officers, Adam in Berlin and Leo in Saarbrücken. Adam returns to Saarbrücken, and they reunite after 15 years. After they worked on two cases together, Adam is arrested because he is suspected of murdering his father. Leo works hard to investigate his case, even though he technically isn’t allowed to, with their colleagues refusing to help him at one point and maybe even believe that Adam really is guilty. In the end, Leo manages to prove that Adam’s father killed himself and disguised his suicide as a murder to take revenge on Adam and Leo for putting him into a coma 15 years ago.

Sounds familiar? Here are all of the parallels and overlaps between those two stories that I can think of, maybe there are even more that I didn’t catch:

They met and became friends in school. Both pairs only became friends after one defended the other from bullies.

Shortly after something happens to his father, one of them disappears suddenly. Incidentally, in both cases, the one who disappears is the one who saved the other one from bullies.

Adam and Miles disappear after something happens to their father; Adams father falls in a coma, and Miles’ father is murdered

They both reappear after 15 years, during which the other one didn’t know anything about their whereabouts (Phoenix knew that Miles had become a prosecutor, but only a few years before they meet again).

Phoenix and Adam both altered their careers to see the other again; Phoenix starts studying to be a defense attorney after he learnt that Miles became a prosecutor s that they could meet again in the courtroom, and Adam accepted a transfer request back to Saarbrücken.

Both pairs meet again in their workplace, though Adam and Leo work together now, whereas Phoenix and Miles stand on opposite sides of the courtroom.

Not long after they reappear, both Adam and Miles are framed for murder by their abusive father.

The other one fights for them, even though they are (almost) the only person on their side, and everyone else is against them.

Both Adam’s father and Manfred von Karma have committed crimes in the past and framed someone else for it: Manfred killed Miles’ father and both framed the bailiff for it and manipulated Miles to blame himself; Adam’s father robbed banks with a friend, and one of them shot someone in one of these robberies. Said friend took the blame for both the robbing and the shooting, and never revealed the identity of his accomplice to the police.

Tatort Saarbrücken episode 3 is literally Turnabout Goodbyes, the fourth case in the first Ace Attorney game. Miles and Adam are both framed for murder by their father figure as revenge for something that happened in the past. Their respective partner takes their side and fights for them, ultimately revealing their innocence.

They are also both happen after they worked together for two cases.

Again, do I think any of this matters? No, but I realised that these parallels exist and had to get this out of my system. And I had fun writing this. If you notice even more parallels, please share them!

The highlight of my weekend was going to an Internet Kids show with my friend on Saturday night. The club was full of trans people, goths, Miku’s, and furries — my people. The urge to cruise was strong lmao

So, I haven't written a word in at least 5 months bc my brain has just been empty.

Yesterday i watched Bodies on Netflix. This morning I opened my laptop and blacked out. It is now 1am and pretty much 7,700 words of this exist.

If you would like some post-episode 8 Hillinghead/Ashe, here you go.

I'm going to bed now.

i, a lesbian who has never listened to my chemical romance besides maybe like two singles, have decided i am going to rank the members of mcr based on attractiveness. this is very much based off of google searches of their names so if you want to try to change my mind, my ask box accepts pictures. i have been bedridden for a week and this is how i am finding entertainment. let’s go.

LAST PLACE: mikey way

literally please don’t ask questions. i don’t think he could move up if he tried. i can maybe see the appeal of his younger self a little bit because i’m kinda getting gender envy but him NOW? …

THIRD PLACE: gerard way

again, i can see his younger self’s appeal. i think i would’ve called him hot if i got into them as a teen. i do not think they have anything going rn

SECOND PLACE (RUNNER UP): frank iero

I GET IT. OKAY. THERE I SAID IT.

FIRST PLACE (WINNER): ray toro

i literally do not see y’all talking about this man enough ohhhh myyy godddd helloooooo sexyyyyy *twirls hair* he could make me a fan 🥵

truly just SUCH a typical tumblr experience but like.

Familiar Tumblr Name makes a post that's like: 'you know how fast fashion perpetuates itself by selling us clothing that gets dingy and grody really fast, so we have to replace it yearly?'

me: uh, no, actually—historically i've found that the few fast fashion pieces i acquired long outstayed their welcome, and were perfectly wearable long after i was heartily sick of them! but go on, i guess

FTN: 'let me tell you about this traditional domestic wisdom (implied: that's been lost because of, uh, capitalism) that will fix this problem (that you, too, definitely have) for you!'

me, googling: okay so this residue that FTN said was somehow a Fast Fashion thing is apparently generally caused by like. fabric softener and/or hard water. using discount detergents that skimp on active ingredients. using too much detergent so it doesn't wash out. letting your bedding go too long between washes. letting your washer go too long between cleans. etc. anyway. lots of specific factors here, many of which may in fact not apply to you in particular!

but like. why get specific when instead we could assert You Know This Problem, Right? This Lost Traditional Wisdom Will Definitely Help You Personally!!

So so sooooo funny to see one (1) person tagging that post I just reblogged (“big fan of characters not getting to die but having to face consequences they never thought they’d have to”) with Killykins Jones of all people.

Because that worthless sumbitch never had to actually change or face ANY consequences for his lifetime(s) of evil. He simply declared himself a hero and chose not to murder in order to get some tail, and was instantly forgiven all by characters including (but not limited to) his future wife, his stepson, ALL his in-laws, his stepson’s mother, the stepson he abandoned, the brother he got killed, the brother he abandoned, his girl bestie, his therapist, and TWO mermaids.

I’m kind of curious how big this bird is compared to a normal human. From Buggy’s perspective it’s enormous, but if he had the rest of his body parts maybe we’d see it’s just a regular sized - if large - bird.

[keineahnung-ichhalt]

they are the same picture

crazy talk engage

bepo being perceived as a silly pet by some fans is bad and wrong so i never thought of it from that perspective but i just had a moment of bizarre clarity how being around bepo actually feels for law (disregarding long history for this hypothetical) like imagine if your cat/dog was bipedal wore clothes had an office job and u knew her/him since middle school

HOW WEIRD AND INTIMATE WOULD IT BE TO PET IT like ah yes miss of course come here give me your neck ill scratch it and listen to you purr anyway could you pick up the utility bill and go pay it when you go to buy groceries?

hello?

(idk what my point is but perceiving bepo a pet only pushes the idea that they gotta be fucking even stronger. why they acting like that if they arent? why is law so tolerant? and dont fucking say hes bepos dad youll just make it incestuous) im arguing w noone in particular nor im saying everyone have to be into 🐯❄️🐻. i just thought abt how garchu traditions or not (i still think bepo doesnt have them as ingrained in him) law is human and human boundaries also apply and law's got none tbwn himself and bepo 🥰🥰🥰
