Fastest Growing Fandoms on AO3 This Week (05/23/2023)

Every week I pull data on how many fics are in each fandom and compare to the previous week, then calculate the percentage increase to determine fastest growing fandoms.  Since this naturally skews towards smaller fandoms, I have included the same data filtered to Over 1k, 5k, & 10k fics.

『 MB-26 BENBEN (ベンベン) 』

sorry this is a bit of a weird ask, but i've always wondered - does your twitter bio (the brightmyth one) have any particular meaning? you don't have to answer if you don't want to, i'm genuinely just curious haha (i like its... vibe? even though i dont know what it's about) but it's totally fine if you don't want to share for any reason of course

oh of course :) it's from the chinese sci-fi movie The Wandering Earth (2019) loosely adapted from the liu cixin short story... the premise is the sun is half a century away from going supernova as it reaches the end of its life stage. humanity constructed giant engines all over the planet to push us of our orbit in hopes of finding eventually finding a habitable star system thousands of years in the future... hence "the wandering earth". everything on the planet has frozen over bc we're out in deep space away from the sun, and the world's oceans and lakes have all become solid blocks of ice.

the line in my bio "I believe you. there will be a day where ice turns into water" is from this scene where a russian cosmonaut gets impacted by debris and dies helping his coworker reach the command module onboard the mission satellite... the hope and wistful humanity of it all

ive said it before but the entire concept behind wandering earth is so fucking bonkers but also the most chinese shit ive ever heard. oh the sun is gonna collapse? lets move the fucking earth because its our home. get that weak ass “send a hundred humans and embryos into space on a ship as our last hope uwu” bullshit out of here!!!!

In the year 2058, an anomalously expanding red giant Sun threatens to engulf the Earth within 100 years. The world's nations are forced to consolidate into a world government and construct 12,000 enormous fusion-powered "Earth Engines" to thrust Earth out of the Solar System. —————— I suspect avallac'h went to the set of The Wandering Earth. haha

It may take generations of effort but it is possible, and honorable, to move the Earth

  Stories of humans leaving Earth behind due to catastrophe are not rare, but the mass exodus usually happens on a spaceship. I'm going to make a bold generalization here but I think a lot of you would agree these movies draw their philosophy from Noah's ark. In the west, when nature is destroyed it's usually unstoppable, like the wrath of god. Humans live in god's creation, so when god's creation comes to an end, humanity is at god's mercy. In Chinese mythology however, there is no such supreme being, humans and gods alike obey the natural order, the "Tao", if you will. So, in Chinese flood myths the hole in the sky is patched up by a goddess, the flood from the Yellow River was contained and drained by human constructions over the course of 13 long years. The Chinese equivalent of the Icarus myth talks about a man chasing the sun and dying of thirst, but he leaves behind a peach forest as a water supply so that future generations may continue the chase. In Chinese mythology, and thus, philosophy, nature is malleable: It can be shaped, it can be conquered. It may take generations of effort but it is possible, and honorable, to move the Earth.

We are bugs. 😂

But seriously, The Three Body Problem is one of the best sci-fi series I've ever seen (although nothing beats Dark for me).

No wonder why I enjoyed The Wandering Earth (2019).

Both productions are based on the work of author Liu Cixin.
