You bet! I’ve missed you’re incredible gifs :). Let us know if you’re taking requests again!

I am of course taking requests again! They might not get done quite as speedy as they used to, but I’ll try and get them done pretty quickly!

The person you just replied to re: anti-Reylo specifically asked not to have their post shared publicly, and they did so in quite a respectful and polite way. It might be a good idea to delete it and reply privately.

Thank you for catching that. I set both those post to private.

Chicanery keeps a handwritten diary as an outlet - it’s his main coping mechanism for dealing with Balem and his fits of hysteria. Aware of the danger inherent in such an activity, Chicanery has perfected a code known only to himself - frequently used terms include GL (Glitter Lord), EBO (ear bursting outburst) and CA (consume alcohol). A typical entry looks something like this:

“Long day. Called to audience chamber to discover GL sprawled across floor. Attempted to touch shoulder only to receive EBO. Left to CA.”

The Orousian public education system is extremely cost effective. On their fifteenth birthday, each freeborn citizen is sent an implant containing all of the legally approved learning and knowledge they require to become efficient and productive members of society - any education received earlier than this has to be arranged and paid for by parents. Higher education is available in the form of more advanced implants, but these - quite naturally - are prohibitively expensive. This automated means of ‘education’ is scorned by the entitled, however, who prefer old-fashioned manual systems for their children. The wealthiest families employ tutors, drawn from the intelligentsia and societies of learning that flourish in the outer rings, paying their wages in a combination of credit and RegeneX. Tutors are well paid out of necessity, for to become the educator of an entitled child is to subject yourself to a decades-long endurance trial consisting of a daily round of humiliation, impertinence and cruelty. A common saying is that the Deadland is preferable to the entitled schoolroom.

Hi, your stats are really interesting! Thanks for putting them together. Just to check, was Jupiter Ascending left out by mistake? It had 15 Yuletide entries in 2015, and I was surprised to see it omitted since Crimson Peak (with 14 entries) and various other less active fandoms were included. Thanks!

Thank you!  It was fun putting them together and sharing!

Aww – yay, Jupiter Ascending!  :)  Let’s see… Okay, that’s odd – seems to be a bit of a glitch on AO3′s side. I used their top 10 fandom list for the Yuletide Collection (over in the Sort & Filter sidebar):

But when I search for results that include “jupiter,” sure enough – there are 15 Jupiter Ascending works!

Which means there might be a bunch of other rarer fandoms missing from the Yuletide list, too.   I’ll add a note in the original post!   

(Also CCing @zz9pzza @samjohnssonvt in case this is not a known AO3 issue)

You're awesome for fighting the spam scourge in the JA tag! Thank you for your efforts :).

Aw, thanks! :)

The most important annual holiday in the Orousian calendar is the (fixed) day tax rebates are entered into accounts. The sudden inflow of funds means people spend the whole day wallowing in consumerism and making extravagant purchases, be they for themselves or those they want to impress. Tax Rebate-Mas is essentially what Christmas would be if all presents were bought and handed out on the same day, which is to say it’s absolute consumerist carnage.

The bar owners of Orous are wary when it comes to the wastrel children of wealthy Entitled. Burned too many times by experiences of colossal damage and tabs surpassing the cumulative value of the harvest of a small planet, most sensible business owners have surgery-circumventing facial recognition technology installed at their doors so they can politely deny the custom of the most notorious offenders. Let it suffice to say that Titus Abrasax struggles to find anywhere willing to admit him, so has to make his own entertainments aboard his Clipper.
