Damnit Jim I'm a writer not an artist! That's right folks! As you may or may not be able to see, it was
ts_soliloquy's 1 year anniversary on August 1st! I was too busy writing Chapter 5 of Drink Up, Me Hearties to post then, but I'm not now!
Thank you so much for 1 year full of 28 watchers, 119 fics, 7 fanmixes, 2 picspams, 1 profile code dump, and 1 tutorial! xD ♥♥♥
So what does an anniversary mean for this little journal o'mine? 2 things mostly. 1: a tag round up in which we see the top tags of my [character], [friend-ship], and [ship] tags. 2: a list of what you can expect fo'shizzle (for sure) in the coming year! \o/ Let's get started!
Tag Round-Up
Top 5 Characters
WHOOO the character tags. AND SURPRISE SURPRISE THEY'RE ALL FROM KINGDOM HEARTS. SHOCK AND AWE. (for the record, the top 3 fandoms were KH, A:TLA and Twilight.)
5. At 13 uses, we have the fabulous bitch herself,
Larxene!
4. Beating her back by only 1 use at 14, we have the Knight in Black Leather,
Roxas!
3. Now for the muse that's been keeping me prisoner all summer, at 17 uses,
Xaldin!
2. For second place we have... *gasp* a tie! Sharing second place at 20 uses each is
Luxord and
Naminé!
1. And at first place with a staggering 28 uses, we have *oh God is he going to gloat or what*
Xigbar!
Top 3 Friend-Ships
Ahhh my friend-ships. Were would I be without you? Going insane from drowning in my hopelessly romantic side, probably.
3. At only 3 uses, the bittersweet
Ansem&Kairi!
2. At 5 uses, the subtler, slightly less insane bromance
Lexaeus&Zexion! (Luckily, they will be staring in their very own AU one day.)
3. And at a tie, the Fearsome Friendship Foursome themselves! Both at 9 uses, we have
Luxord&Naminé and
Xigbar&Xaldin!
...WAIT. HOW COME I DON'T HAVE MORE A:TLA BROMANCE. OR TOPH&KATARA. *FAILS*
Top 3 Ships
Dun dun dunnnn. We've already seen that I have 56 romantic fics up in here apparently. So who's at the top? Well, apparently we have two ties, whaddyaknow.
3. We have a tie at 7 uses each for
Larxene/Axel and
Toph/Aang!
2. At 8 uses, we have
Luxord/Tifa!
...Wait, Luxord/Tifa? But that's my OTP. Yes, taking me by surprise for first place we have
1. At 10 uses,
Roxas/Naminé!
Promises for Another Year
Birthday Presents, Oneshots, Fanmixes, Picspams and Other Requests~!
Somebody please tell me if there's anything I've missed! I take every single one of these to heart, and when I say I'm going to write something, I'm going to write it.
- Family!Jet/Mai for xlovelylightx! In which a vacation is embarked upon.
- Xigbar&Demyx for littlecatlost! In which a mission to Atlantica makes Xigbar remarkably grumpy.
- Kocoum/Pocahontas for fated_bliss! In which Pocahontas ventures into the forest at night (and Nakoma makes an inevitable cameo).
- Xigbar/Kairi for emo_precipiate! In which Kairi is not amused.
- Aeleus/Aeris + Lexaeus/Nakoma for trilies! In which things are not so different after all.
- Demyx/Yuffie (fluffy fic!), Oki/Ammy (not so fluffy fic), Roxas/Naminé (fanmix + picspam), Sora/Kairi (fanmix), Akira/Shiraishi (fanmix), Ansem the Wise (fanmix), Kairi (fanmix)
Drink Up, Me Hearties
The giant pirate!AU continues into dangerous waters this year, especially since CAPTAIN FUCKIN' XALDIN will be appearing before the end of August. I swear on it.
What can you look forward to?
- Heartless!
- Crazy villainous Zexion!
- Sirens!
- Pixar characters!
- The return of the Carrion crew!
- Did I mention CAPTAIN FUCKIN' XALDIN? HE WIELDS THE POWER OF THE ANGST HAMMER.
Gravity of the Situation
The epic!bromance fic concludes this year, but not after riding the angst train into the ground.
What can you look forward to?
- Xaldin vs Vexen: sarcasm-off!
- Reversed gravity!
- Luxord getting time-space headaches!
- Xemnas! Appearing! In a fic I wrote whaaaat
- And in the end, it all comes down to Xigbar vs Xaldin. D: D: D:
Porcelain Dragons
a.k.a. the OH GOD OH GOD WHY AM I WRITING THIS AGAIN BECAUSE I WANT TO fic. Seriously, my mind's going all-out on this one. Influenced by Mulan, Beauty and the Beast, and the story of Don Quixote, this year Xaldin's gonna be going on a journey he never expected to. And Xigbar's gonna tag along. Introducing Hua-Yong into my cast of muses.
What can you look forward to?
- A very very delirious Xaldin!
- Xigbar taking a hammer to the fourth wall!
- Hua-Yong being painfully formal and Xaldin thus facepalming!
- Keyholes!
- The Heartless Dragon boss pre-Heartless-ized!
- Disney antagonists!
Snail Mail
EARTHBOUND FIC EVEN THOUGH KAIYA'S THE ONLY ONE WHO WILL READ IT AND IT'LL JUST BE CUTE IDEAS WE DISCUSS IN FIC FORM. XD
What can you look forward to?
- Adventures with the pencil eraser!
- Lil' Vinny's soft spot for animals!
- Raising chickens!
- Items found in garbage cans!
- Fun with Sudden Guts Tablets!
- Tracy/Pickey!
Optical Phenomenon
Because I obviously need more cracky het ships. Because I'm crazy. *le sigh* A series of seven oneshots/ficlets/what have you of Xigbar/Mirage.
What can you look forward to?
- Xigbar being an utter dork!
- Mirage's backstory!
- EDNA MODE OWNING ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING
- Xaldin's meditations being interrupted all the time!
- Xigbar suggesting a threesome (but with who?) and utterly failing!
- ...smut!
Variations on a Theme
Ahhh yes. The violent/dark/messed-up/wait is there any way I can make this fluffy?
un_love_you claim of Larxene/Axel continues this year.
What can you look forward to?
- Appearances from Roxas!
- Appearances and... Larxene flirting with... Saïx.
...*cough*
The New World
Fluff fluff all around! We need that sometimes, and that's what my brain seems to be giving me in this fic to balance the angst hammer CAPTAIN FUCKIN' XALDIN carries around. An Alternate Universe sequel to
Beating Drum Heart and in the same universe as
Body Language, it stars not only Lexaeus and Nakoma, but Zexion, Vexen, and Pocahontas.
What can you look forward to?
- Reunion between Lexaeus and Nakoma!
- Zexion and Lexaeus arguing like a married couple!
- Nakoma vs Zexion: Rubik's cube battle!
- Vexen and SCIENCE in a world without advanced technology!
- Pocahontas kicking all kinds of ass!
And that's all folks! Join me next time when I pimp out my
affilia-mates!
