not exactly rpf but I have a theory that murph’s characters are always the fandom’s favourite to write smut about (barring neverafter)
Somebody crunch the numbers ☕️
On a very basic level, filtering the Dimension 20 AO3 tag to Explicit only and looking at the top 10 characters who are tagged in these fics gives the following:
Maxwell Gotch (Murph)
Torse (NPC - Brennan)
Figueroth Faeth (Emily)
Fabian Aramais Seacaster (Lou)
Gorgug Thistlespring (Zac)
Adaine Abernant (Siobhan)
Marya Junková (Emily)
Riz Gukgak (Murph)
Evan Kelmp (Brennan)
Sundry Sidney (Emily)
For Murph: Maxwell (120) and Riz (68) = 188 fics. For Brennan: Torse (89) and Evan (54) = 63 fics. For Emily: Fig (88) and Marya (80) and Sid (54) = 222 fics. For Lou: Fabian has 86 fics. For Zac: Gorgug has 82 fics. For Siobhan: Adaine has 91 fics.
While Murph's characters' numbers are certainly respectable, and Maxwell is the most paired-off individual character, Emily's characters have him beat on this preliminary analysis.
This is making the assumption that fics rated E are rated as such for sexual content rather than high-level violence, and that a character being tagged in one means they are involved in the smut. These assumptions are both extremely broad and potentially incorrect, but I've had a really long day and I'm tired. If anyone wants me to go deeper (I have thoughts about examining the top pairings, which tell a very different story), let me know and I'll try to come up with a more robust test soon!
A final note to Murph fans: if these results are disappointing, one of the most recent fics at the above link is Big Barry Syx/Maxwell Gotch/Theobald Gumbar. Do with that information what you will.

Paizo's 13 Omens is meant to be the opposite of Pathfinder, providing an easy to pick-up experience perfect for one-shots.
Paizo? Making a horror game????
The mechanics of this look amazing from what's in the article. Vibe-wise, it feels like the equivalent of a haunt going off in Betrayal at House on the Hill, which I love.
I find it hard to reconcile 'Each character has a total of 10 aspects' with 'rules-light' (it's no Lasers and Feelings), but I'm excited to see how it's done.
Yooo, i just looked up Kulin nation, that's metal, hope y'all get official recognition soon cause 42k years of history gotta count for something, even if some ass-people usurped the land and all that.
To be clear, I am white, but recognise that I am living on the traditional lands of the Kulin nation. I choose to make reparations to the traditional custodians via Pay The Rent.
it’s officially pride month. someone fetch me the bisexual John Kramer edit from the official lionsgate tiktok account
i have to do everything myself around here smh
literally i cannot decide which is funnier, either 1) whoever made the edit doesn’t know what the bisexual ribbon means and thought it just looked cool, or 2) the person behind the lionsgate tiktok account made a fucking command decision and canonically bisexualized one of the most iconic horror villains. either way He’s Ours Now
In the early 80s, as the AIDS crisis swept through New York City, Howard Ashman asked his favorite musical collaborator Alan Menken to help him put a tribute to music for the lives and community that were being lost.
This song was played at Ashman’s memorial service when he eventually died of AIDS in 1991.

It was something just left to the Mardi Gras When my friends and their friends were there But it’s getting much too quiet Tonight on Sheridan Square
I’m sure that it must mean something But it’s really too soon to tell When somebody’s gettin’ famous While nobody’s gettin’ well
And you can send my regrets to the party I’d like to make it, but just don’t dare And why is it still so quiet Tonight on Sheridan Square?
Johnny and Steve and Martin And a list that goes on too long Dennis and Bill and Barry You’re the reason I wrote this song
Some of the boys have panic But none of the boys leave town They say, “We’re on the good ship Titanic We’re gonna sing ‘til the boat goes down.“
And if it ended before it started Well no one told us that life is fair And why is it still so quiet Tonight on Sheridan Square?
Somebody make a note of this You people who know the trends The wild ones are turning lovers The lovers are turning friends
And if some good rises out of everything Then the phoenix is rising there In the eyes that are scared, but softer Tonight on Sheridan Square
Johnny and Steve and Martin And a list that goes on too long Dennis and Bill and Barry You’re the reason I wrote this song
When you carry a load like we do What’s another few pounds to share? We can make it until the sun comes up And it will O'er Sheridan Square
Moomin enjoyers could get so much more out of the stories if everyone stopped cutesy-fying them so much. This is something I have a strong opinion on. Everyone seems to focus on "aw fluffy little nice creatures" and "Moomin and Snufkin are in love" which YES they are. Obviously. All of that is true.
But the original Moomin stories are undeniably dark. They're often about being sad and depressed and so, so lonely, about looking for a home, about never feeling fully understood, about growing up and having flawed parents. About never being fully able to understand some people. Moominpappa at Sea, the whole Groke situation, Moominland Midwinter, the last few Moomin books in general. The Hattifattener's whole deal. Their world is full of sad and strange things. It's just also about seeing the fun and feeling love in a world like that.
I think the average Tumblr user would love the Moomins even more if everyone stopped pretending that they're Disney-type creatures, and instead embrace the incredible Finland-Swedish weirdness. Tumblr I know you love weird stuff! Get into the strange side of the Moomins!
Also Tove Jansson would be on my side here. She was so annoyed by the Moomins getting commercialised and twisted by everyone. I enjoy a pretty Arabia Moomin mug as much as the next person. I love the wholesomeness of these stories, too, and I don't want to tell you how to enjoy these books. Keep a place in your heart for the darkness in these stories, is what I'm saying. You might love them even more if you do that.
I remember one of the books, Comet in Moominland, was about a giant meteor coming to kill everyone and trying to prepare for certain doom. I was like "Damn, this is heavy, I wonder what inspired this??" It was published in 1946, shortly after the invention of the nuclear bomb, so I do wonder if that's the connection. I actually thought it was published later during the Cold War because the book would be very relatable to anyone who did bomb drills hiding under their school desks.
From the official Moomin site:
I took some of the Moomin books into hospital to read them to my grandma when she was in rehab after a fall, and I had to be very careful which stories I read because I didn't want to make her sad. I cry over the squirrel in Moominvalley Midwinter every time. Tove Jansson's writing is beautiful and witty and evocative, but it's often melancholy.
star trek voyager characters on Open Mic Night in the mess hall.
Tom Paris: organized it. roped people into it. claims the first slot. spends his five minutes telling jokes like “I just flew in from the New Zealand penal colony and boy are my arms tired!!”. polite chuckles all around because he leans into telling awful jokes.
Harry Kim: technically perfect jokes delivered with too much nervous laughter until tom starts heckling and suddenly his five minutes is all crowd work
Tuvok: Tom did not expect him to agree, but Tuvok delivers a series of deadpan riddles and knock knock jokes to devastating effect. runaway success of the evening.
Chakotay: was NOT going to participate until the captain teased him about stage fright. observational humor, the type of person to pick someone out of the crowd and deliver his material directly to them.
Neelix: a TIGHT five entirely on leola root. stuns the crew with his self-awareness, makes them all wonder if he’s been inflicting Leola root on them for the Laughs this whole time
B’elanna Torres: does alright until tom also decides to heckle her. she throws the mic at him, chaos ensues, she does not complete her five minutes.
Seven: her jokes themselves are not funny. What gets people is when she informs them they may proceed to laughter. Similar to Harry in that they are technically perfect jokes. Some nervous chuckles, most people are relieved when she leaves the stage.
Kathryn Janeway: has been having a Good Time watching her staff do this, very alarmed when Chakotay says turnabout is fair play and she ought to get up on stage. no structured jokes, tells anecdotes from childhood/the academy that get laughs because for some reason people on her ship think she is straight laced and she’s always been That Reckless. Probably leaned up against a lectern or piano or something with a glass in her hand like Frank Sinatra the whole time.
The Doctor: demanded to “save the best for last”, absolutely distraught when people start yawning and getting up to head out. his fault for turning his five minutes into fifteen on the history of the commedia dell’arte style of improvisational theater
This time from the extended version of the Red Dwarf theme song <3
Sending love to everyone who is just... tired. Life is a lot, and sometimes the answer to it all is to just be still and silent for a while. Give yourself space and grace.
Whether it’s decision fatigue, anxiety fatigue, information fatigue, routine fatigue, getting life back together fatigue, career fatigue, social fatigue, financial fatigue, or physical fatigue: take a moment to breathe and recharge. You deserve it.

Hey hi very disconcerted Aussie here: what the fuck does Liam O'Brien slash Americans in general think 'nonce' means because I am incredibly stunned as someone who is pretty sure that Hal wasn't just calling Wick a paedophile!!
'i need eight thousand pounds to make a zine' no you don't
None of the anthology projects I've made "need" to exist.
Every anthology I've published has cost thousands before we even get into the printing costs because every writer gets paid. The only way I could create them for less would be to do so less ethically and at a lower quality, by expecting writers to contribute for free. I won't do that - it would defeat the entire point. I already don't get paid to edit them.
Sometimes the high cost of making an anthology means the book can't get made. That sucks, but I don't have funds to pay people upfront and make that money back from sales. It is what it is.
As always, you're not obligated to order any of my work!
Also: a zine? A fucking zine? These are full books we're talking about, not something you're running off on a photocopier and stapling together.
We have 4 days left to raise the remaining funds needed to produce Warped (a trans horror and sci-fi anthology), otherwise we cannot create it. There is no compromising on paying writers, so if we can't get pre-orders to cover the £8041 we have left to hit our funding target then this project will be stopped before it starts. Gore, smut, and sex worker lunar colonists.
A trans+ horror and sci-fi fiction anthology.
Whether you can afford to pledge for a physical copy, and e-book, or don't have the money but help with a share, your support is appreciated!
I hate it when people ask me to name every character from Red Dwarf. I'm not writing a Lister them all!

Why are the numbers written in fahrenheit but the question says Celsius ????
I reread the question three times just to check I wasn't missing something before I realised they must've just made a mistake 😅
What are you guys talking about? These numbers aren't in F, the question clearly says degrees Celsius. 😊
Anyway RIP to everyone who picked anything other than the first option.
