Hiya! You mentioned Flamebyrd's AO3 Statistics CSV Bookmarklet recently, but that only works for my own works / statistics. Is there any way that you know of to grab basic data from like, fandom-level? Other than writing them all down manually?

A few options:

Bookmarklet: If you want to grab all the stats/metadata for just a few pages of AO3 works, you can use Flamebyrd's Work List CSV Bookmarklet instead -- that will help you get the data for ANY works, not just your own.

AO3's built-in tools: For bigger fandoms, I often just use the good ol' Sort & Filter sidebar* to get basic top 10 stats for any given fandom/ship/other tag (or to find out how many works there are in that tag above a certain word count, or some other quick facts)! Some AO3 users may not know about it (especially people who mostly use AO3 on their phones and have to click the "Filters" button to get there). Or I use AO3 Work Search to look up things like how many works there are with over 1000 kudos.

Tutorials on my methods: I have tutorials on how to get some kinds of stats, and in my Fandom Stats series, I often try to explain something about how I got my numbers. I also link to a lot of my raw data there, and you are welcome to reuse any of it.

Other people's methods: I reblog a bunch of other people's stuff here in my #other people's analysis tag and on my @toastystats sideblog (@toastystats is a subset of this blog, but it's easier to browse just the stats over there!). Some of those people gather different kinds of fandom data than I do, and some of their methods may be more useful to you than mine, depending on what your goals are. You might want to look for people gathering the kind of data you want to gather and ask them if they have recommendations about how to do similar work.

Code: I have a bunch of scripts shared on GitHub that will let you more quickly gather data about public works on AO3, if you want to use those. (I also absolutely acknowledge this is difficult/intimidating for many. Heck, I don't like using GitHub or installing and running other people's code much, either, and I would have thought I'd be good at that by now.)

*Sort & Filter sidebar screenshot below the cut, in case anyone is unfamilar.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ORIGINAL MARCELINE OF THE WINTER KING'S UNIVERSE!? 😨

Is the implication that Ice King took her out with all of the other oozers or did the oozers end up killing her?? Either way, it seems that this Simon was not coping well with any of what was going on in his life. Living a life of hypocrisy & ruling a false kingdom.

#is the implication that Ice King took her out with all of the other mutated people?#or did the mutated people end up taking her out?#right as he was talking about making an ice Betty as being 'unethical;' but he had ice Marceline hidden away in his castle #there was nothing ethical about the Winter King's methods; though I'm curious about how he learned to cast a spell to project the madness #of the crown specifically onto this universe's PB?? I wanna know more about that & I wonder if a similar method will be how Fionna & Cake's #reality gets saved? Maybe! 👀#mine #op #marceline abadeer #winter king #marceline the vampire queen #adventure time fionna & cake #adventure time #adventure time fionna and cake #adventure time spoilers #atimers #ice king #ice simon #simon petrikov #fionna and cake

And now watch it all fall apart.

BEGINNING || PREVIOUS || NEXT MASTER POST

Thank you everyone for your patience as I recuperate from Covid. I tested negative and am now just recuperating from the lasting effects. Honestly, this update is one I probably could have skipped, but I love me a good heist plan. Plus I just wanted to have some fun with this holiday special and if that means extending it a bit longer, then so be it.

#spoiler: it wasn't pee #I don't think Donnie has ever been called a stupid man in his entire life #it's the people closest to us that hurt us the most #both disaster twins using questionable methods to coerce others #poor Drax #never poor Kendra #even in the bad future Drax is still a lunch lady #Agent Bitch-up #what happens in Shanghai stays in Shanghai #rottmnt replica #replica #save rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #kathaynesart #unpause rottmnt #rottmnt #pregnancy #cw language #labor pain

“this is killing me.” kuroo mumbled as he tossed his phone to his side. “just trust me bro,” his best friend-turned roommate bokuto grinned. “this works everytime for me i swear!”

kuroo sighed before grabbing phone again to refresh his instagram story views once more. several people had already viewed the post-gym mirror selfie he’d taken in attempts to garner attention from one particular follower of his; you. “maybe it’s too cringe…” he muttered while over analysing the photo that had already gained a couple of likes within the twenty minutes it had already been up for. “nah.” bokuto reassured him and pat his friend on the shoulder. “you look sexy.” kuroo stared back at the two-toned haired boy. “… thanks bro.”

this isn’t something kuroo would typically post but times were tough and he was desperate. he’d seen you around campus but luck was not on his side when it came to scheduling and the two of you barely had class time together. yet the little class time you did share, kuroo hung onto it tightly and would let scenes of these weekly one hour classes replay in his head more often than he’d like to admit.

“i feel like a modern jay gatsby,” the ex volleyball captain huffed. “my selfie is the equivalent of the wild parties he’d throw in hopes to get daisy’s attention except i don’t want to post every night, i’ve already made myself cringe with this one post.” bokuto stared back at his friend blankly. “yeah… whatever that means.” kuroo frowned back “it’s a classic, you should know what i mean!”

how much longer was he going to have to wait? bokuto had promised him quick results with this method and so far he’d felt deceived and lied to. if talking to you when he got the chance wasn’t enough to get a conversation going outside the classroom, then social media seemed like the next best attempt to start interacting more.

what were you doing? why weren’t you viewing his story? could you even see his story? did he accidentally block you?

these questions ran through his mind as he quickly rushed to check to make sure he hadn’t for some reason blocked you from seeing his story. he half wished he did because then at least he’d know what on earth was taking you so damn long to see the photo he was increasingly starting to hate more the longer it was posted.

“this is stupid.” he stated as he faced bokuto who had zero concerns in his method in gaining someone’s attention. “it works you just have to wait, trust me.”

kuroo frowned as the little red hearts of others who weren’t you fluttered from the bottom corner of the photo. “look!” his best friend grinned as he leaned over kuroo’s shoulder and pointed to the screen of his phone. “you’re getting likes on it!”

“what’s the point if they’re not likes from the person i posted this for in the first place.” kuroo grumbled back in response. he couldn’t believe he’d been subjected to such an attempt to gain some attention from you. it was ridiculous.

it had been about forty five minutes since he’d posted it and he was slowly losing his mind. sure, the post was going to be up for twenty four hours (if he didn’t give into the voices in his head telling him to delete it) so forty five minutes was nothing, but the minutes were beginning to feel like hours and he was dying inside. why weren’t you viewing it already and what could possibly be keeping you off your phone right now?

“this is stupid.” he decided as notifications from his old team mates started to flash up on his screen. the last thing he needed was lev replying with ‘looksmaxing’ to a post that was secretly dedicated to you. “no, it’s barely been up!” bokuto whined. “you look hot so you should get some replies anyway what’s the big deal?”

pinching the bridge of his nose, kuroo huffed. “the big deal is the person i posted this for hasn’t replied!” what was the point in making sure to go to the gym during a rest day just to take this photo if he wasn’t going to at least make his existence more known to you? he’d even worked his legs enough to the point of managing to achieve the sweaty but sexy look. the muscles in his legs were dying, but his dignity sure as hell wouldn’t.

the college student opened up his phone with the intention to end the mental war inside his head once and for all by deleting the post altogether. bokuto watched his friend in defeat but his eyes flashed. “yes they did!” he yelled and pointed to the screen as your name flashed at the top of his screen.

kuroo’s heart jumped at the sight of your profile picture he’d made a daily routine of staring at and the now blue dot indicating a message from your profile in his inbox. to think he was going to delete this post just a second too, what were the chances?

psyching himself up, kuroo took a few quiet deep breathes before letting the time next to your message pass for a few minutes. he wasn’t an instagram warrior by any means, but he knew enough about general rules in order to not look desperate online.

bokuto watched over his friends shoulders as the two stared in anticipation awaiting the message kuroo had been dying for. this was it. leg day two times in a row was gruelling and he’d regret it for the next few days but it would have been worth it. the countless messages from his old teammates mocking his attempts at a thirst trap could be looked past now that you had finally given into the bait he’d so carefully laid. this is what he’d been waiting for. days of preparing and deciding how to gain your attention had finally paid off and he was about to reap the rewards he’d sown.

clicking the message with baited breath, his heart raced as bokuto’s grip of his shoulder tightened. finally.

‘the label on your shirt is sticking out, make sure to cut it’

“a wins a win.” bokuto filled the silence between the pair as kuroo stared at his phone with a blank expression. “… a wins a win…”

#not proofread!!!!!!#i’m so rusty at writing what the hale….#but this other model i worked with back in the winter replied with ‘finally’ when i swiped up to his story the other day LOL #this is where i got inspo from #he posted post gym too 🤭🤭🤭🤭#he’s saurrrrrr hot and funny but we’d both been plotting on each other for months through silly ig stories #so embarrassing but the gatsby method works!!!!#kuroo x reader #kuroo tetsurou #kuroo tetsuro #kuroo tetsuro x reader #haikyuu #haikyuu x reader #haikyuu x you #hq #hq x reader #hq x you #kuroo x you #kuroo tetsuro x you

The game doesn't have a lot of opportunities for characters to be reassuring to Tav (understandable, as they're going through the least of anything, honestly), but luckily I have the power of Draw. Croissant's been going through it (by proxy)!

[[ All Croissant Adventures (chronological, desktop) ]]

[[ All Croissant Adventures (app) ]]

#Croissant's method of winning an argument is “sit on the other person until they concede”#the amount of times they've had to turn this car around to try to help someone is asinine #and they'll do it again!#bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 spoilers #technically #act II spoilers #croissant adventures #tav #gale #gale x tav #yeah sure we'll throw this one in the ship tag why not lmao #comics #gale dekarios #breadweave

Aegon II Targaryen, top 5 most pathetic moments. (Ranked by me in order of how close he is to crying, how much blood he has on him, how dirty and disheveled he looks, and how much he is NOT enjoying the situation at present)

#aegon ii targaryen #house of the dragon #hotdedit #tom glynn carney #NOT including the fight because he's enjoying himself a little too much there. something you want to tell us aegon?#the dinner alone deserves a whole gifset of aegon looking annoyed. literally Art #girls will literally relearn how to gif during two agonizing days before going to therapy #in other news - finally found a method i liked #mariana does things #photoset #quick someone tell me how this looks on mobile #*hotd

A moment for a petty complaint:

When people are explaining how to weave in ends, in a tutorial or any video, and they say to "just follow the path of the yarn" or "double the stitches" and then proceed to do THIS

That's a valid way to weave in your ends, assuming your yarn is wooly enough to not slip and it won't be super visible, but that's simply not what you've described.

THIS is following the path of the yarn. It is also the superior way to weave in ends securely and least-visibly from both sides.

#thx to techknitting for the diagram #they have nothing to do with this complaint I just knew I'd find the illustration i needed there #knitting #weaving in ends #petty complaint #fiber arts #needlework #many methods are good depending on context but DO the thing you DESCRIBE and not some OTHER thing #skimming in ends by splitting plies is also very secure but is more visible from the back #nothing but felting the ends together when you join is completely invisible in the middle of stockinette

20.12.23, wednesday

My main hobby is just procrastinating in any way I can. The plan was to make a cup of coffee and then start working. What actually happened is that I watched a 3 part video series (by james hoffmann ofc) on Aeropress coffee and made a few cups with different variables. Still not sure if I found The Recipe for me, but it’s getting better (tho I don’t love the coffee beans I have)
