AO3 Stats Meme

Tagged by @thevikingwoman ! Thanks friend! This was such an interesting exercise.

Going by kudos, my "top" fics of all time are my Mass Effect: Andromeda one-shots, which I still consistently get notifications for - which is always both baffling and flattering to me because it was a game that got panned to the point of never ever getting DLC, and yet people are still out here reading about it! (GIVE US MORE, BIOWARE!) They are followed by "Spreadsheets, Sculptures, and Other Perfect Things," my one and only Stardew Valley one-shot, which I also get alerts for all the time still.

So, ironically, for being a Dragon Age writer - my most "successful" fics are not DA fics at all when you go by the conventional method of looking at kudos.

The two fics I am most proud of - "Reckoning" and "Awakened" - have relatively few kudos compared to those smutty one-shots, but they have a my highest number of comment threads by a long shot, which just brings me such joy. In that sense, I would call them my most successful!

Fic with the most hits: "Body of Knowledge" / Dragon Age: Inquisition / Solas x Ellana Lavellan / Longfic / written 2016-2017

Second most kudos: "Charge" / Mass Effect: Andromeda / Jaal Ama Darav x Sara Ryder / one-shot / written 2017

Third most comments: "Body of Knowledge" (again!) / Solas x Ellana Lavellan / Longfic / written 2016-2017

Fourth most bookmarks: "Spreadsheets, Sculptures, and Other Perfect Things" / Leah x Female Farmer (Penelope) / one-shot / written 2018

Fifth most words: "The World Turned Upside Down" / Solas x Ellana Lavellan / longfic / written 2016

Fic with the fewest words: "Hair" / Jaal Ama Darav x Sara Ryder / one-shot / written 2018

Being a “Fun Fact !” kind of autistic is all fun and games until you get halfway through sharing an interesting tidbit and realize that it probably wasn’t appropriate to share in polite company and now you have to deal with the consequences :(

Just a few people who were under Clinton that mysteriously died... Were they victims of the so-called Clinton body count that the internet calls a conspiracy theory? Around 50 people with ties to the Clinton's who died under questionable circumstances. 🤔

(Don't Call Me Super-) Boy Meets (Martian) Girl part 2! Here's the first part where kids sneak out for a night in National City.

This is me trying to bring together some things in canon about them-M'gann struggling with social cues and Conner struggling with school life- into something they could potentially connect on!

Hedcanon. creatures after death have a very poor memory of what happened in the last cycle and it is perceived as a hazy dream. But if they find themselves in a similar situation they feel deja vu and it's basically another indicator of danger yknow. I.e in a new cycle some slugcat encounters, let's say, another slugcat, feels deja vu and realises something fishy is going on and instead of coming closer to them they decide to trust the deja vu and go a separate way *

The more often a creature dies from the same conditions, the stronger the deja vu

Also i like to think creatures experience phantom pains . Wouldn't it be cool. You go past some place and you suddenly feel sharp, strange pain in your paw because you stumbled here and broke a bone several cycles ago and then rain washed you away

Idk it just makes sense to me that in a world like rain world your body tries its best to keep you alive by reminding of the pain that it have experienced . Even if you don't remember it clearly, your body remembers the pain, and your mind remembers the fear and stress. So you can sense that something happened, and that it was painful. So you don't make the same mistake again.

* – and you know.. sometimes deja vu can be just misleading.. or you can understand it in a wrong way :)

The four gay horsemen

[gingermintpepper]

Tbh, I'm kind of obsessed with the almost tragedy of Eiland and Caldarus in Fields of Mistria. Eiland's dedicated his life to uncovering the secrets and stories hidden in Mistria's archeology - he's single-mindedly devoted to it, so much so that even his side hobbies are influenced by his love of history and desire to know more about Mistria's but it's that devotion that makes him so blind to the magic right in front of him.

It's Eiland's sharp eye that sees Caldarus' statue behind that tree on the farm. It's Eiland who whacks away at the bark with the axe fruitlessly until he's assisted. It's Eiland who coaxes the player to help repair Caldarus' statue and subtly ropes them into joining his History Society. It's Eiland who is devoted to the steles, who gets so excited at the prospect at uncovering a new piece of old Mistria's puzzle that he cuts his outing short to rush to the museum. It's Eiland who realises that all of the different eras of artefacts dug up in Mistria's soil must mean that Mistria itself was once the cradle of civilisation for Aldaria.

And yet, with all of that knowledge, he's still so, so blind to what's right in front of him. He doesn't realise that Juniper is a witch, he merely knows that she is familiar with all manner of the arcane and assumes it's a scholarly pursuit like his instead of what it actually is - Juniper's lifestyle, Juniper's culture. And ultimately, I think that's why he's blind to Caldarus and the magic right in front of him.

Eiland isn't taking the time to stop and really think about what all these artefacts and armaments mean. He isn't considering that remnants of old Mistria still live, he isn't even able to grapple with the question of whether or not it's right for him to dig up the armour at the stele when it's clearly hidden there for a reason. Eiland is completely detached from the history he's searching for and that's why, even with magic and the truth about Mistria right in front of him, he'll remain blind to it.

“You are a battery composed of ELECTRONS. Just as a battery needs to be RE-CHARGED, so do YOU. Hence = the lack of CONNECTION with MOTHER EARTH has in reality decreased you of electrons. This is not fake science, but real science.” 🤔

Going to be really honest, if you're disabled, you truly don't owe people - or the world - access to your diagnoses, symptoms, accessibility needs (and why you need them), mental health history, trauma, or anything like that.

The urge to force people to lay themselves out so they can be picked apart, consumed, and feasted upon by people who demand that their comfort outweigh that of a disabled person's is an ableist pipe dream. It is the urge to control that which you feel you have no control over, and it's your right to refuse to play that game, that role.

thinking about her (''you know what I like about him is that he's sarcastic but thoughtful and appreciative too" "now what is that supposed to mean" "okay okay the roAD ROAD dude watch the road")

realizing that neither xie lian nor hua cheng possess a fully developed frontal lobe has radically changed my perception of them
