Mean Girls AO3 Stats - fandom/ media breakdown

Ship Break Down // Table Version

A visualization of how the different medias of Mean Girls compare on ao3. Technically they're fandom tags, but they're all kind of the same fandom so instead I use the terms media and fandom somewhat interchangeably here.

All data collected from ao3 on March 10, 2024 (Notes 1 and 2).

Total Number of Fics in Each Media (Note 3)

Media Comparison (Note 4)

Can we all take a moment to appreciate the fact that even with tag wrangling, "Lesbian Regina George" is the top additional tag in the 2024 fandom tag at 83 fics (fluff being at 78 and angst at 66).

Notes and Disclaimers

Note 1: Tag wrangling was used to collect data. Data does include locked fics.

Note 2: I manually collect data, so there are some timing discrepancies. I collected everything within two hours however, I'm pretty sure at least one fic got deleted/ added in that time so.

Note 3: [total fics by media] The first graph does not exclude any other tags - simply the fandom tag applied. The second graph only includes the media(s) listed (excludes all others).

Note 4: [media comparison] Calculated as a percentage of total fics in that media. In the case of "total", percentages are of the sum of the total number of fics in each of the media (1996). See table version for more information.

Note 5: [categories] f/f separated for visibility. Please note the difference in scale.

Note 6: I am an amateur (I failed my first year stats exam lol), so take that as you will.

Fastest Growing Fandoms on AO3 This Week (02/12/2024)

Every week I pull data on how many fics are in each fandom and compare to the previous week, then calculate the percentage increase to determine fastest growing fandoms.  Since this naturally skews towards smaller fandoms, I have included the same data filtered to Over 1k, 5k, & 10k fics.

Overall:

Over 1,000 Fics:

jedi survivor said "in this game jar'kai isn't a force ability but a stance! it allows you to have an unrelenting offense + better parries but your defense becomes weaker in response" and like. fellas. i literally do not use any other stance. i've fully unequipped the dual-blade because i simply do not care for it. it's me and my off-hand saber until i inevitably die to hubris

#liveblogging #liveblogging jedi survivor #me thinking about the lightsaber stances like #''well of course jar'kai has a lower defensive capability since it favors agility and speed afforded to greater range of motion #than the single blade which lets you withstand more forceful blows since you're using both hands. it also means that their strikes while #more frequent don't hit quite as hard as someone using a two-handed grip. that's why jar'kai specialists favor unrelenting assaults #to keep their opponents on the back foot and unable to utilize their higher strength output while they're fending off blows from all sides. #the stats they gave cal in the game reflect these pros and cons perfectly. what a wonderful marriage of lore and gameplay.'' #LIKE. GIRL IT'S JUST BECAUSE THEY NEEDED 2 BALANCE THE STANCE IT'S NOT THAT DEEP <33

F1A is really fun, and I think can be beneficial to the future of women in racing, especially if it promotes racing as a viable career for women/if women follow in Marta’s footsteps by using it as a stepping stone to higher level competition/if it helps women gain sponsors & access to team infrastructure they would otherwise be denied.

(It also could potentially be a problem if women get shunted to F1A when they could be competing at a higher level, but I don’t want to borrow trouble.)

One thing I’m not sure I’ve seen anyone point out, though, is there are currently two F1 teams that have signed girls in karting to their junior teams: Mercedes (Luna Fluxa) and Williams (Sara Matsui). This seems to signal a real belief in a future where women have more prominence in motorsport generally and F1 in particular.

#reference #i am definitely not an expert in this lol i just think this stat is interesting/signals potential change!! #alpine also has a program specifically for girls in karting but i don’t think that’s the same kind of signal #like merc & williams are trying to kimi antonelli these girls which means they think they have a real shot #women in motorsport

genuinely wondering why some players play genshin if not for fun… like it’s literally a game it’s not that serious….

#for context #sometimes i coop the azdaha domain for fun #and like most times people play like … normally ? i guess you can say #but sometimes you run into those AR 60 long time players or those like east asian whales #u know what i mean #and like they’re obviously cooping this domain for fun like do u rlly think they need help ☠️ #so sometimes they bring low level characters ir even lvl 1 characters #bc why the fuck not u play every character in the game enough times they get boring so u play a character u never play #even if it’s like lvl 1 #which is besides the point #bc this persons level c6 diluc has better stats than like 70% of the genshin playerbase #like i went to check this person diluc #has 2k atk 60/160~% cr/cdmg #like also even if the diluc has ASS dmg #it doesn’t matter bc there’s literally 3 other people in a coop domain #you telling me you’re not confident enough in your builds to solo this giant lizard #me personally i know any of my dps’s solo this domain any day #unless i’m playing healer or support #idc if the whole fucking team dies bc i know i can do it myself #this girl rlly was like ‘level 1 diluc’ #and just holding us hostage in character select #like BRUH JUST STFU AND PLAY DUDE #so i reply why does it matter this is for fun #and she goes #do you think this is fun? #THIS IS A GAME ???????? #WHY ARE YOU PLAYING IF NOT FOR FUN 😭😭😭 #even if we fail the challenge we can just play again??? #i fucking swear genshin players (derogatory) #delete later

Saw Mean Girls (2024) and holy shit, someone please tell me the subtext of Janis being labeled "pyro" in the burn book and Regina's song "World burn" was intentional.

Like, HELLO?

#mean girls 2024 #I need a fic for this stat #there is no straight explanation for that #renee rap put her whole pussy into a role which did her wrong #OK lesbian regina george I see you. The comp-het is strong but you are stronger #I loved it #I hated it #Multiple things are true here #This movie had amazing ideas about musicals and totally fucked up the execution #Regina george controlling everyone at a party during a song break? Yes please #Doing it to emphasize her vulnerability right before her big asshole moment? No. #Give me Regina manipulating people during a “queen bee” song. #I'm regina george and I am a really big deal? No. I am regina george and I can send your relationship into the gorge by saying shit. #IDK renee rapp deserved better

A protest against Wattpad's new Content Guidelines

Recently, Wattpad has changed the Content Guidelines on sexual content, declaring that the age of consent is now 18. "Any sexual content between characters must abide by this age of consent and not be in violation of Canadian Law."

This is embarrassing for Wattpad. This is disrespectful to Wattpad users. This is a capitalist company conforming to conservative politics.

Wattpad is and has always been home to teenage writers. When I first learned of Wattpad at age 13, this orange app was everything to me. Wattpad is home to teenage writers and readers all around the world, with its many languages Wattpad is unique, and that is something to be proud of. Wattpad has given a creative voice to a generation and inspired young people to write and with multi media challenge our perceptions of the written word and literature. That is not nothing.

But the thing is, teenagers write stories about teenagers. Teenagers write sexual content that includes teenagers. Teenagers have sex in real life with other teenagers. To declare any of that illegal only has negative consequences.

Wattpad declares they want to create a safe space. They want to protect the community. If they really wanted to do that, then they wouldn't have these restrictions on WRITTEN, FICTIONAL sexual content.

Things that would make this a safer space and create and protect our community of global writers: - quality sex education - quality sex education in all languages used on Wattpad

NOW we are in a situation where WRITTEN FICTIONAL depiction of sex between fictional characters under 18 is not allowed. "Illegal sex acts" aren't allowed either. Should we thank Wattpad for clarifying that they mean "according to Canadian law"? Or should we wait with the thanking until they change it to local laws, or LGBT+ stories will be illegal as well?

#wattpad #censorship #i don't have the emotional capacity to go in depth right now but just to make clear and that we're all on the same page: #this is absolutely about how women's voices are silenced. this is about feminism #you know it's the way that wattpad got this big because girls liked it and now wattpad is saying 'we hate you actually' #in 2020 wattpad had 90 MILLION monthy users and the app is available in OVER 50 LANGUAGES #80% are female and 80% are millenials or gen z #85% of traffic is from mobile devices #those stats MEAN something. they mean that girls ALL AROUND THE WORLD can read and write #Wattpad is available in countries where being queer is illegal. In countries where sex before marriage is illegal!!!! do you see??? #lgbt issues are feminist issues #feminist issues are lgbt issues #WE ARE NOT FREE UNTIL ALL OF US ARE FREE #reading and writing are so important. we are only humans we need art for our souls #Wattpad is incredible for giving so many people the opportunity to start writing and get professionally published. BUT #Wattpad is a piece of shit for doing this. Teenagers have sex teenagers are curious about sex LET THEM WRITE.

Mean Girls AO3 Stats - ship breakdown

Fandom Tags Break Down // Table Version

A visualization of how the different ships of Mean Girls compare on ao3, with a focus on "The Big Three":

Regina/ Janis (406 fics total)

Cady/ Janis (334 fics total)

Regina/ Cady (183 fics total)

All data collected from ao3 on March 10, 2024 (Notes 1 and 2).

The Big Three (Note 3)

Top Ships in the Different Mean Girls Fandom Tags

I think the most interesting part of this is how much cadnis declined between the broadway and movie musical. They are very close to top ship in the broadway fandom tag (and was the top ship in that tag until the movie musical came out, from what I know). In the 2024 tag, they don't even make the top 10.

Notes and Disclosures

Note 1: Tag wrangling was used to collect data. Data does include locked fics.

Note 2: I manually collect data, so there are some timing discrepancies. I collected everything within two hours however, I'm pretty sure at least one fic got deleted/ added in that time so.

Note 3: [The Big Three] Calculated as a percentage of total fics in that ship. In the case of "total", percentages are of the sum of the total number of fics in each of the media (1996). See table version for more information.

Note 4: I am an amateur (I failed my first year stats exam lol), so take that as you will.

Baseball season is going to fix me. I’m sure of it.

#yesterday irl bestie told me about the standings #which is like the table in soccer #and there’s HELLA STATS #idk what some of it is #or what it means #but ya girl loves quantitative data #so #that makes it extra fun #I MIGHT be planning an impromptu trip to Atlanta this weekend to watch in the battery 👀 #bc. it seems right #I’ve still got a little bit of The Blah that I just can’t seem to shake and I don’t think it’s anything to Worry about #but I would like it to be gone #and I think baseball is the key #at least that’s what I’m going to tell myself #until proven otherwise #just my ramblings

[concoulor]

oh also. if they are going to do the whole angels have no gender blah blah they need to actually do that

#good omens #they seem to be pretty male to me.... #i've just seen people on here praising good omens for nonbinary rep with aziraphale and crowley specifically and that feels like another #this is such good queerplatonic ace etc representation when it isn't that's just a way to have plausible deniability and if you the viewer #read that in and pat neil on the back for something he didn't actually put in there it doesnt mean it;s actually in there #there was a part where crowley denies being a lad and i saw people excited about that line for gender reasons #but that doesnt work he's not a lad he's older than the planet! and his physical body is older than a lad too #so basically we need girl crowley in s3 stat

can’t believe the gone girl movie got made as nick’s version 😭😭😭

#I just reread the book and hadn’t seen the movie since it was in theatres #and i forgot how much a lot of the changes disappointed me #but especially AMY NOT GETTING THE LAST WORD!!!!!! 😡 when she SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED IT!!!! #and the ‘because you have to wake up every morning and be you’ line means so much to me #cannot fathom how you could cut that #trying to remind myself that the book still exists so the movie can’t hurt me #but also i really want to scream ‘you don’t even GET IT!’ at the movie a lot #(yes i know that gillian flynn wrote the screenplay) #dollsome's deep thoughts #i need gone girl directed by a woman STAT

*bangs head against wall* Why is it that so many times the only time I can find f/f ship content is when it’s put with a popular m/m ship and not actually something that just exists by itself.

#I do not!! ship this!!!! ('this' being the popular m/m ship) #like literally so many times this just feels like a tacked on way to get a character 'out of the way' without looking like a jerk about it #which I mean. I'd rather have this then 'let's kill her violently' but it is still. frustrating. #like maybe I want to talk about f/f content because I'm a girl and I like girls! #maybe I think this dynamic is interesting completely on its own and want to explore that! #if it was just this one instance I'd be like 'well that's annoying' and move on but it happens every time!!! #it should NOT be this hard for me to find individual content about f/f pairings. IT REALLY SHOULD NOT #(thinking back to that one ao3 stats post that took the top 100 ships of its entire history and only 4 of them were f/f) #alas. #In the Vents
