Toastystats: AO3 in 2020
I started doing some analysis of how AO3 has changed in 2020.Ā Then a chronic health issue flared up, and I canāt currently use a computer.Ā So Iāve posted my existing draft to AO3, and perhaps Iāll add more later when Iām feeling better.Ā The above are a few highlights.Ā Ā Click through for explanations of these data visualizations, plus more data!
If you have questions or criticisms, please click through to AO3 or to my original Tumblr post to make sure they havenāt already been addressed; I will update this post as well as AO3 to reflect any major clarifications or edits.Ā (But I may be slow to edit/respond to comments, because as I said, health stuff is making things hard right now.)

this was fun to make! Though I know approximately zero things about perspective and composition.
I just love how Jason is the biggest bookworm in the Batfamily. Also, I thought you hated bein called ādudeā, Bruce.
Batman: Arkham Knight Genesis #2 (2015)
Batman: Prelude To the Wedding: Robin vs. Raās Al Ghul
I have a lot a LOT of feelings about the idea of Jason having gaps in his memories because of the trauma of dying and his resurrection and dip in the Lazarus pitā¦.and some of those memories including key bonding/brother moments with Dick that could drastically change the relationship adult Jason and Dick haveā¦.but that only Dick actually remembers.Ā
(With perhaps Dick not even being aware that Jason has gaps in his memories, because of how much Jason prioritizes not letting any potential vulnerabilities show after his return, due to his trust issues).
Like. Just.
The POSSIBILITIES.
Like, Iām just thinking about that one specific photo of Dick and Jason going skiing one time, that Dickās looking at while drunk and grieving Jason after the Last Laugh story:
Imagine Jason coming across this picture at Dickās place when he happens to be there (reluctantly) because theyāre sharing information on a case.
And Jason starts freaking out, (but only internally, canāt show weakness, ever, not even with family, especially not with family) because HE DOESNāT REMEMBER THIS. Like. AT ALL.
But he genuinely doesnāt think Dick caught him snooping and even realizes Jasonās seen it, so even being paranoid, Jason canāt honestly convince himself that Dick like, faked the photo and planted it for him to find for some manipulative purposeā¦..no matter how much he tries to tell himself that its some kind of trick, in the days and weeks that follow.
Because the thing is, Jason KNOWS that he has gaps in his memories, heās aware, thatās not a revelation to himā¦.like, he died. There are repercussions to that. The brainās a tricky thing, even mysterious resurrections and mystical Lazarus waters canāt regrow lost memories from brain cells lost and magically restored in function, if not necessarily in perfect replica.
Its justā¦.its never before occurred to Jason that he might be missing memories with Dick, specifically. Its not like he forgot Dick. He still remembers interacting with him from before, the older brother who was as much reputation as he was a presence, distant because of his issues with Bruce but decent enough the times he was actually around Jasonā¦..enough for Jason to feel like he was actually his brother, his family, but not enough for Jason to feel like he was as much his family as Dick always seems to try to pretend.
Except now he canāt stop wondering if there might be more to that just than his older brother trying to willfully review the past through rose-colored glasses.
He remembers Dick giving him his Robin costume and his blessing, that night they first teamed up to take down that drug lab together. Dick giving him his phone number and advising him to call whenever he felt like griping about Bruce, not to keep it bottled up inside.
He just doesnāt remember ever using it.
But he also remembers the one or two times he teamed up with the Titans, and howā¦.familiar Dick feels in those memories, how familiar he acted with Jason, like it wasnāt strange or unexpected for him to reach out and ruffle Jasonās hair with a friendly grin. Like it just made sense, like of course he would do that.
He remembers how Dick used to call him Little Wing, still tries to whenever he thinks Jasonās in the right mood not to get pissed at him for either the name or the attempt, Jasonās never forgotten thatā¦.
But now that heās thinking, now that heās trying to pinpoint things, he canāt for the life of him remember when that name began. Where it began. How it began. Because it had to have begun somewhere, it was too natural, unforced, even in the earliest memories Jason has of actually hearing it come out of Dickās mouth.
And he remembers the way Dick offered to take the fall for him with Bruce, if Bruce caught Jason returning from his last unsanctioned adventure with the Titans. Again, the ease and familiarity with which Dick cheerfully told Jason to just throw him under the bus if Bruce gave him any grief, tell the old man how it took Jason and the entire Titans to bail Dickās ass out of the fire. Given how defensively independent Jason is himself, one of the traits he and Dick have always had in common, its strange to him now, to look back on that and notice the total lack of argument on his own part, how he justā¦accepted this offer from the older boy without protest. Like it was an argument theyād had many times before and Jason had reluctantly learned to just accept when offered, allowing himself to bask in that small, quiet glow of feeling protected, looked out forā¦treasured.
And it occurs to him nowā¦.that he doesnāt remember ever getting in trouble with Bruce for that. He remembers getting home just before Bruce, Alfred agreeing to cover for him with a knowing glint and an approving nodā¦.Bruce being too distracted by coordinating the JLAās response to the entire world waking up from Brother Bloodās mass hypnosis. Sure, the Batman was the worldās greatest detective and knew practically everythingā¦.but only the things he looked for, looked intoā¦.and it wasnāt like the two eldest sons of the Bat were lacking in the stealth and subterfuge department.
And suddenly, picturing that photo in his mindās eye, him and Dick standing on the slopes of some ski trail, smiling in a way he never remembers smiling but can match close enough when he tries it now, practicing in the mirrorā¦
ā¦.reflecting on the fact that he doesnāt remember ever skiing in his life but he just knows without knowing how, now that heās thinking on itā¦.he does know how to ski, he might not be OIympic medal-worthy any time soon, but heās got the basics down, if he strapped on a pair he wouldnāt be making a fool of himself likeā¦.likeā¦.
ā¦.the memory darts in and out of his reach like the silver-flashing scales of a fish that refuses to be caught by hand, no matter how long he fumbles downstream through this river of uncertainty and regretsā¦half-glimpsed flicker-shadows of a snapshot in time, a window to a past where he did make a fool of himself, was laughed at for clumsy attempts but in a way that didnāt feel sharp, carried no bite, no sting, justā¦.the joy of a boy, maybe two boys, two brothers, just playing and having fun.
And thinking back to that particular escapade with the Titans, his second team up with them but only the first having been endorsed by Bruce, unable to think of a time when Bruce has ever referenced even being aware of the latterā¦.
It suddenly occurs to Jason to wonder if two sons of the oh so knowing Batman could have snuck away from his often crowdingly perceptive eyes more than just once.
If they were so inclined.
Wanting to bond, to know each other, to share their time and brotherhood without needing the sanction of the father whose conflict with the elder kept such a shadow cast over so much of their time spent together.
Suddenly, Jason catches himself thinking back over all the times Bruce was away for a day or two, a weekend, a whole week, caught up in offworld missions or adventuring in other dimensions, or sometimes just stuck unable to get out of a corporate retreatā¦.and with Alfred most likely more than willing to cover for them, surely approving of any and all camaraderie between his two grandsonsā¦.it strikes Jason then, to wonder if they could have possibly hidden something as big as a ski trip from Bruce.
Almost without prompting, Jasonās mind starts fitting together pieces, outlining contingencies, orchestrating routes and schedules and stratagems for doing just thatā¦.
As if the challenge was reason enough to try.
And with the attempt carrying that now familiar tug toward a trail laid down long ago. One heād walked before. And just forgotten about until now.
He starts feeling around for the other missing pieces, the gaps, the places where things donāt connect, where things he knows and things he remembers fail to line up, to fall into place. No matter how much investigation heād done into his own past, into Bruceās schedules and itineraries when retracing steps and trying to fill in the puzzle pieces of his mind when heād first prepared his return to Gotham years before, with all it entailed. Know thy enemy, after all. Know thyself.
Funny how often in his case, those two felt like one and the same.
Because now, picturing those missing pieces, those gaps, and slotting in the third variable, the one heād never before thought to factor in as likely all that significantā¦.
Dick, his brother, who after all, had been there all along, even ifĀ āthereā didnāt necessarily mean under the same roofā¦
All too easily a much clearer, much more coherent picture starts to form.
One that casts so much light on things he couldnāt see and so much shadow on things heās long believed.Ā
One that means that maybe, perhaps, more than likelyā¦.there was more to his older brotherās claims of brotherhood than heād given credit to previously.
Maybe there had been all along.
And with a pang in his chest that hurts far more than it should, if based just off of things Jason remembers rather than things that he feels, that he believes, that he knowsā¦
Suddenly Jason canāt help but wonder what all his denials of said brotherhood, all his dismissals of past times spent together and past bonds spoken ofā¦
How might they look, to an older brother who clearly remembered all those very things Jason was only now struggling to glimpse?
One who had no reason to suspect they were any less clear for his younger brother, given the lengths Jason had gone toā¦ensuring that even the slightest hint of anything that might be construed as a weakness was scrubbed from all evidenceā¦before each and every time he interacted with his older brother, so often his enemy maybe never his enemy.
How could they look, Jason wonders now, still stuck on that single frame of a ski tripās snapshot - on a Polaroid of all things, an anachronistic choice of record keepingā¦.unless one was desiring to leave no digital trace - what could all those denials and dismissals look like without that critical insight, that knowledge of memories missingā¦.
Besides justā¦.rejection?
