For reference “squash” here means a beverage made with fruit flavored syrup

This is because I got a bunch of people hollering about how the lemonade we have in America (and Canada) isn’t “American” lemonade. Despite Europeans (and Australians) having lost their minds at the idea that sprite isn’t lemonade

@itstartedwithalex​ This is a fantastic idea! ^_^ Took me a bit though <3

Note:

This so far has been the most difficult chart to make for two reasons, for one finding the tags to make it is quite difficult, I am absolutely sure there are more tags/untagged fics that would lean into these categories and I did go through like ninty-eight pages of tags so, eh, I tried my best and that’s what counts. The second reason is that the chart just wouldn’t look right to me no matter how many times I adjusted it, but I figured it’s good enough <3

Also, I actually thought AMTDI would be higher.

*The AO3 date function starts from the day you search. This means year 2022 is actually July 2021 - July 2022 and so on. (I originally had 21/22 on the graphic but it made it look cluttered.) I could account for this if I had more time but sadly I do not. I may do a chart in January to get an accurate account. But, since SGA came out in July 2004 this is technically an accurate year count by release date.

Please do not remove my username from the graphic.

The only surprise is how Bad Omens, Conquer Divide, and The Warning snuck into the top 3. I think I listened to those three songs on repeat while writing this spring, and now they won't go away.

This is the first year my artists have been this accurate to, like, what my favorites actually are. Maybe next year, songs from those bands will actually show up in my top 5?

for anyone too young to know this: watching The Truman Show is a vastly different experience now, compared to how it was before youtube and social media influencers became normal

before it was like, "what a horrifying thing to do to a human being! to take away their autonomy and privacy, all for the sake of profits! to create fake scenarios for them to react to, just to retain viewership! to ruin their happiness just so some corporate entity could harvest money from their very humanity! how could anyone do something so evil?"

and now it's like, "ah, yeah. this is still deeply fucked up, but it's pretty much what every influencer has been doing to their kids for a decade now. probably bad that we've normalized this experience"

[go-learn-esperanto]

I see so many people starting to use Threads as a way to escape Twitter and yes, it's owned by Facebook's CEO and giving Facebook the monopoly of social media is bad but I think we should also talk about the fact that, you know, Threads isn't avalibe in the EU for privacy reasons????? That should be concerning to EVERYONE

Elementary, dear Data

After about 7 years the Star Trek TNG hyperfixation is back full force. It's so strong that I am feeling Distressed and the only way to quiet the bees in my brain is to draw Data constantly. So here's something I drew from a behind the scenes photo (I excluded Picard because this is Sherlock Holmes, not Dixon Hill </3)

Very fucking important data set 😂

[kyurochurro]

caught a cold yesterday so I rewatched a good old childhood fav of mine, which also included another robot buddy I love! here’s data with wall-e cus why not :D

[andyoullhearitagain]

Upon reflection Data is so obviously a robot made by someone who's already accidently made an evil robot and is way over compensating this time. Just the gentlest, least evil dude you can imagine.

Pyrrha didn't figure out who Nona was sooner because she didn't want to know. She never did.

At first out of plausible deniability—so long as she doesn't question it too hard, she can pretend to herself that Nona is the kid she wants her to be. A second chance. Like when she's walking Nona to school and talking about Nona's birthday, she wonders aloud if "she" ever got presents. She means Gideon. She looks at Nona and thinks of Gideon and hopes she's somehow making up for eighteen years of missed birthdays.

Then, later, because it doesn't matter. Nona is her Nono, her Hairy Mcleary, her sweet Nons, daddy's little treasure.

She didn't figure it out because she was trying not to. Figuring it out would change things; it couldn't help but change things. So she doesn't know, not for sure, so she can keep playing pretend just a little bit longer.

DP x DC AU: Danny desperately wants to find the explosion guy. Tim is really good at covering his tracks... he didn't account for ghosts.

The explosions make it onto TV as purported terror activity and most people haven't heard of that part of the world much less ever given a second thought to care about it. The only real reason it gets reported on has something to do with the Justice League and... Danny knows too much.

He's been in training for Clockwork's court (which he's suspicious of- feels like kingly duty bullshit- but Danny is playing along out of curiosity for now) and he's learned a lot about how the living and non-living worlds collide. That means learning about CW's usual suspects- one of which just happened to have a ton of bases around the area Danny was seeing on the news.

It didn't take long for Danny to try to piece together that whoever blew up Nanda Parbat was trying to fuck with the League of Shadows, and was doing it successfully. Less green portals in the world the better, same goes for assassins. But it gets Danny thinking... Maybe he can employ similar tactics on the GIW Bases that keep spawning on the edges of Amity Park. It would at least set them back while he and his friends navigated the help line desk to request Justice League intervention. None of them can leave Amity Park, so outreach is going to have to be creative.

So Danny figures he'll just find the guy. Call up some ghosts who were there, or er, came from there and get a profile and track him down. But the ghosts keep saying it was The Detective. Annoying!

Danny goes full conspiracy theory, gets Tucker and Sam involved, and begrudgingly asks Wes Weston his thoughts.

He hadn't expected Wes to garble out a thirty minute presentation (that had 100 more slides left to go before he cut it off) about how Batman totally trained with a cult and so did his kids. Danny kind of rolled his eyes but... hey, new avenue of searching in the Infinite Realms at least.

The ghosts confirm that Bombs is for sure not Batman's MO- But maybe his second kid would know? The second kid was already brought back to life though, so no way to easily reach him... Danny starts to realize that this might be the work of a Robin now. Wasn't the red one known for solving cold cases? (Sam provides this information- its a social faux pas to not know hero gossip at Gotham Galas- everything she's learned is against her will).

It all comes to a head when Danny goes about the hard task of opening a portal for the guy to come through at just the right time, explain the infinite realms so he doesn't panic and then describe what the fuck was going on with the GIW. It takes months, just over a full year, of random (educated guesses) portal generating- Finally, Red Robin drops into the land of the dead.

"So, you're the guy I've got to talk to about explosions right?" Danny enthusiastically asks.

Tim thinks he's died and landed in the after life following 56 hours of being awake and plummeting off the side of a building into a Lazarus pool. Nothing makes sense about the kid in front of him.

"Yeah, I got a guy for munitions." Tim answers cooly.

"How do you feel about secretly sanctioned government operations that violate protected rights?"

"Gotta get rid of 'em some how. Need me to point you in the right direction?" This might as well be happening.
