Turnabout Titles

Got curious about how often people applied the “Turnabout” naming scheme to their AA fics, so I crunched a bunch of numbers on AA fics across Ao3 and FFN to find out (and also maybe got a bit carried away looking for patterns…)

What I found:

Overall, about 4% of AA fics on Ao3 and 13% of AA fics on FFN include “Turnabout” in the title

Longer fics were more likely to have “Turnabout” in the title than were shorter ones, with about 14% of 30k+ AA fics on Ao3 featuring it in the title, compared to only about 2% of sub-1k AA fics

“Turnabout” fics were disproportionately likely to be crossovers—about 19% of AA fics with “Turnabout” in the title were crossovers, compared to 5% of AA fics overall

And here’s a graph for good measure:

Method details and raw numbers below the cut

Method: For the Ao3 numbers, I searched for fics in the “逆転裁判 | Gyakuten Saiban | Ace Attorney” fandom, limiting the results to English-language fics only and excluding restricted works (although at a glance, the same patterns appear to hold among restricted works). For the FFN numbers, I searched for fics in the “Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney” fandom, filtered to English language only. Data collected 5/25/2024.

I was wondering what you have to say on the Dislyte espers. I imagine you wouldn't be so hot on them, but at least they have the excuse of only being random individuals empowered by mythical figures as opposed to actually being said figures. I honestly still prefer their Odin design to Doi's version for its sheer absurdity.

The Lord has hardened my heart against all Gacha and GaaS bullshit, and the intersection of myth with those forms is just a huge no-sell for me.

But yeah, it's not doing anything for me. I don't expect a lot of rough edges from something this calculating, but this style has always struck me as pretty sterile, for all its surface vibrancy. Something like Hades worked the intervention of art-deco Instagram thirst-trap bullshit into a frame of original cultural iconography to much better effect, I think.

Like, the idea is that you’re supposed to want to fuck these characters enough that you’ll keep pouring money into the video poker apparatus, so everyone is blandly fuckable but not in a way that might express an idiosyncrasy incompatible with the App Store TOS. I don't know, I guess I like this 'Isis' design. These are basically inoffensive. Looks like they constrained themselves to the 'dead' religions, so it's all Greek/Norse/Egyptian etc. Probably for the best if the idea is to avoid a Smite-style fiasco. Lakshmi has her ass all the way out... and you can make her floss!!! Things of that nature.

last post abt this but; it's also interesting to observe how tumblr users will just recycle and chew out a trope-y ass boring "Googoo ga ga Cannibalism crazy gay romance toxic segs Blood perv murder 🥰😍😍😍😍" 5th grader shtick in all of their fandom works + cheer when sex and violence is the topic of songs that AREN'T hip hop, but the moment those 2 topics are present in hip hop songs they're like..... no...Wwah 😪😥😥😭😭bwahh GAA GA TOO SCARY😥😥

best part of Genshin Impact revealing their new character Gaming (Gaa-ming) is how the Boboiboy fandom, and the BOBOIBOY OFFICIAL ACCOUNT, saw him, and just went "that's just Boboiboy Blaze"

i didn't really see it until someone put the hat on him but they're right they're SO right and it's driving me nuts

[autumnfangirler]

ill be the first to admit that i dont interact with the gaa fandom as much as i should, so id be very glad to be wrong about this, but from my (admittedly very limited) observations in the fandom susatos talked about mostly in the context of a) other male characters(naruhodo, kazuma, mikotoba, holmes) or b) shipping. which is fine, it makes sense! shes not very attention grabbing in the game, and while she does have her goofy moments, shes not nearly as silly as the rest of the cast. shes more of a straightman than anything else. but shes such a good character and i really want to see more people talk about her so fuck it, were making the overdue susato rant ourselves gdi

major spoilers for great ace attorney under the cut and in the tags!

i think a lot of people see susato as a #girlboss, which is true and undisputed, but ive never seen people dig into why. personally what sticks out to me is how determined she is. its overshadowed by kazuma, but she Clearly learned a few things. she was willing to travel halfway across the world to work as a judicial assistant, and in kazumas death she helped naruhodo become a lawyer in his stead. she broke the law to help naruhodo win ginas case, a decision that tore her up so much she nearly resolved to quit. and of course she won a fucking courtcase at the age of 16 while succesfully pretending to be a man. when she has a goal in mind, shes seeing it through. shes consistently pulled naruhodo out of (rightful) uncertainty and hesitation with this mindset. she followed kazuma, and then naruhodo, to the ends of the earth because she truly believed it was the right thing to do. shes competent in her work, and shes firm without being unkind.

thats another thing about susato. shes one of the most emotionally mature characters in the games (games filled with adults– iris is probably one of the few characters who rival her in that respect). shes emotional about the things shes passionate about, but shes never overwhelmed by it. the only scene i can think of where emotions really did overtake her was at the end of the first game, where she nearly threw her judicial book into the sea. which is,,, still relatively reasonable? she broke the law and had to leave britain to go back to japan. she couldnt practice as a judicial assistant anymore, and nobody back home had a need for her skills as a judicial assistant. why would she need it anymore? in every other instance, shes polite, calm, and most importantly, the heart of the whole cast.

because while shes a great character on her own, her main role in the story is always in servitude to others– whether that be as holmes number one fan, iris' big sister, or naruhodos ever-reliable judicial assistant. we never get the sense as to why until the 4th chapter of the last game, where her backstory is finally revealed. with it, a lot of who she is is recontextualized. she never had a mother and her father left her before she could have any real memories of him. shes headstrong and driven because there was no direction for her. shes compassionate and polite because her only role model for her formative years was her grandmother. shes emotionally mature because she learned what loss was at a young age and how to live with it alone. and all of that translates to a young girl with a fire to help others in whatever way she can.

shes just,,,, shes such a good character man. i love her.

[matsunoso]

because you’re also Irish and an Osomatsu fan and idk if anyone else in the fandom would get this I want to share my Osomatsu-san if it was set in Ireland headcanons -

- Karamatsu: talks with a fake D4 accent, idolises Ross O’Carroll Kelly, wears chinos and brown brogues, drinks Bulmers

- Osomatsu: big Guinness fan naturally propping up the pub maybe like half doing a crossword and eating a pack of peanuts

- Choromatsu: wanted to get into TCD to live his Normal People lifestyle but ummm didn’t, claims he’s a fluent gaeilgeoir but only knows how to ask to the toilet in Irish

- Ichimatsu: hung out at central bank in the day

- Jyushimatsu: massively into hurling, wears a Kilkenny jersey a lot but isn’t from there

- Todomatsu: also wanted to get into TCD but didn’t basically lives at Brown Thomas

- Chibita: has a strong cork accent, works in a deli in centra/spar/mace

- Todoko: did Irish dancing as a kid but now is an aspiring influencer

hope you enjoy and sorry

OH THIS IS INCREDIBLE literally never in a million years expected to get an ask like this but i loveeeee it. you're so enlightened like this is genuinely magical i wouldn't change a thing.. love cork chibita love ichimatsu at the central bank GAA JYUSHIMATSU SPEAKS TO ME DEEEEEEEPLYYYY

not a concept i ever pondered myself but thinking about it so much now... influencer wannabe todoko doing hauls from dealz and home savers and mr price (cus she usually can't afford hauls from anywhere else) maybe getting to do one of those ads for swappie just once

in the same vein as choromatsu claiming to be a gaeilgeoir but not actually being able to speak it i imagine like. how karamatsu says random words in english to seem #worldly. he does that with irish instead or like deep cut irish slang/phrases that he would not have grown up with at all and gets them wrong half the time.

choromatsu is definitely in forbidden planet like weekly if not daily. goes in there and then brings whatever manga he bought to that clockwork door place up the road and hopes someone asks him what he's reading

struggling to decide who would be a bigger fiend for elfbars out of osomatsu and karamatsu so i'll just leave that thought there

i want one of them to be obsessed with mooju. i don't know which. all of them probably. especially osomatsu and jyushimatsu i think. they could get the strawberry and banana flavours to match their colours.. imagine.. i think ichimatsu likes the cookies and cream flavour but secretly

thinking about jyushimatsu so hard man like the rest probably stick to dublin/whatever suburb of it they live in just cus they seem the sort to not afford to live in the city centre LMAOOO not in a house with 6 adult kids..... but i know jyushimatsu does be getting on the bus/train every week and just disappearing off all over the country for funsies (he's the only one with an autism diagnosis so he's got that sweet sweet free travel card.) like you know how you get those dubliners that are fucking terrified to leave the county or even just the city because "scary culchies ewww boggers" or whatever. todomatsu is definitely one of those maybe choromatsu too (he pretends not to be scared but he is). osomatsu jokes but doesn't actually care. karamatsu pretends to be #cultured and not scared as well but the furthest he's been is like... skerries. nowhere further than the dart or dublin bus goes. ichimatsu is scared even just in dublin and thinks he's gonna get stabbed like all the time so it's all the same to him

BUT YEAH jyushimatsu goes literally everywhere cities towns parishes villages you name it. maybe brings ichimatsu along with him sometimes cus ichi does wanna go & i bet loves the countryside but is too scared by himself and needs someone to hide behind. jyushi goes to sooooo many GAA matches gaelic footballs ok but as you said MASSIVELY INTO HURLING!!!! one of those lads you see walking around with a hurl in hand nearly everywhere he goes.. got that o'neills mála scoile... i know you said he wears a kilkenny jersey a lot which is another INSPIRED idea but i feel in my heart that he has a galway one too just because he loves supermacs. they all love supermacs. i'm projecting now. also jyushi definitely tears up those greenways he'll do the royal canal one and then detour from mullingar to athlone and at the end still be like when are they gonna finish connecting this up to galway :/

sorry i didn't expect to write this long of a reply you've ignited something evil within me i'm going to be thinking about this forever. thank you SO much you have such a wonderful wonderful brain

Woah sorry for being gone in a while 😭 I had my GAA exams but now that they’re done I feel the brainrot coming back AND I WANT TO INTERACT WITH THE MK FANDOM SO BAD BUT ALL THE DISC SERVERS I SEE ARE ALL THOSE META GAMEPLAY FOCUSED ONES OR RP💔

(I wanna int with my moots so bad too but I’m too scared cuz u look like u like me and then when we talk I’m scared u won’t ughhhhhhhh)

[soaked-ghost]

a lot of people have told me that comyet saying ink is a 7 year old is a joke and yea

brother I know that it was a joke. the problem is that the fandom has the media literacy of a baby goo goo gaa gaa and people genuinely thought it was canon

also no it's not about his birthday that I was referring to, the original post was a reblog of an ink fanart being a silly goober and comyet said something like 'i love that ink is constantly portrayed as having the mental capability of a 7 year old' or something

[just-antithings]

Genshin fandom is the worst one ever yet again: the official account on twitter introduced two new characters, one of which has a name that is written in Cantonese for once, but because the English localization team effed up again, they spelled the character name as “Gaming” (pronounced Gaa-meeng, alternatively the name can be written with 2 a’s and is actually a pretty common name as well)

this led to a bunch of people making fun of the name and using it for memes (we had this kind of racism before where another character’s opera singing was compared to a bleating goat) and of course there’s “that” side of the fandom who treat this new character as a minor (because he’s short) and are running around calling people “porn addicts” or using slurs against people for no reason

[phightingconfessions]

I hate the way fandom sees bio as a fucking toddler. No, just bc it's 3 years old doesn't mean it goes goo goo gaa gaa. It's a fighting machine and will tear you apart if it was told by it's creator to do so.

What do you think about these posts and the comments on both of them?

I was very disappointed as this came from someone who presented themself as exclusively sns and against multiships. And there's the expectation that sns just have to be open to other ships as well even though they're completely one-sided at best and downright delusional at worst. Every fandom wants sns to be cool with their ship while simultaneously hating on sns, the shippers and/or whichever half of the ship they openly or secretly dislike.

I don't understand what's wrong with the first one, I mean she is pretty much agreeing that Naruto always considered Shikamaru and Gaara as just friends...

But generally, no I don't ship Naruto and Sasuke with other people, I just can't warm up to other options lol. Their dynamic also just hits all the right notes with me. That being said op isn't like other sns and she doesn't really ship narugaa, it's more complicated than that. She's also agreeing that Sasuke is #1 for Naruto regardless. And in the end it's her choice whether she ships it or not.

I also don't mind as long as people don't bash Sasuke or Naruto, or sns. My experience with naru/gaa is usually either the ones who ship it as their main ship who hate sns and Sasuke, or the ones who ship sns as their main and have Gaara as some kind of second guy to fuck Naruto, just so self inserters can feel they are desired by multiple guys through Naruto. Sigh. But I know it isn't the case here.

Also I wouldn't get this upset over something like those posts, this just seems like creating needless drama (you send this to at least one other person too). I understand you probably have bad experience with naru/gaa shippers, lord knows I do, but it's better to not get so agitated over op's post.
