f1 rpf survey - results (part two)

During the survey, I asked people for fic recs and after looking for them on ao3, I ended up compiling this list of 307 F1 fics (covering 66 pairings). And because sometimes people were reccing an entire author, you will also find a list of 47 authors.

The google sheet is available : here. My advice is for you to download the sheet on your own computer, that way you will be able to filter through the pairings/browse it however you want.

Edit : Thanks to a very nice fellow F1 rpf reader, the list now has links.

A couple of notes :

if a fic you recced is not here, it's probably that you did not include the title or the link, I tried my best with the descriptions but when it was a concept I didn't remember reading and the author wasn't specified, there wasn't much I could do

when several pairings where listed in the fics, either the main pairing seemed evident and that's the one I used in the table or several pairings seemed to have the same importance and then I used the "-" symbol in the table

obviously a ton of fics not present on that list are amazing and worth reading on ao3, this is merely a fragment of the available universe out there

#rpf #f1 rpf survey #f1rpfsr #if all went well I deleted all the doubles but you never know #did this over a bunch of gilmore girls episodes #I only read 5 fics in that top 19 (all fics with 4 votes or more) #had heard about 3 others including one I tried but couldn't vibe with #but anyway maybe this will be useful for some people #100 #200 #300

In this book I read about a guy who spends a year in the arctic, there are a few points where he worries he's going to die there on the ship. So what does he do, he spreads honey on his tummy and lets the cat lick it off over and over.

He explains that he's trying to get the cat to associate his stomach with food, so if he dies, she should eat him starting with starting with the soft belly. Training the cat to eat him when he's not there to feed her anymore.

genuinely i think if i have to see taylor swift’s name one more time i’m going to start breaking things.

#i liked her casually as a kid #and i still like a lot of her music now #but i can barely even fucking listen to it anymore bc she is EVERYWHERE #like literally i don’t care about her and i don’t care about travis whoever #and i don’t even care about her in a negative way like i don’t care if she’s selfish and narcissistic and a performative activist #and her jet emissions or whatever #bc literally 90% of celebrities are like that she’s not special #i am just so tired. of people ALWAYS talking about her #and being expected to have an opinion and be up to date with whatever meaningless drama is going on #genuinely no hate to my friends that like taylor bc i don’t mind that #it is more just like. Everywhere #i cant even go on tiktok without seeing her name 300 times i cant DO THISSS #ok. rant over. 😭

another Fun Number Fact™ - just including the 43.4 million USAmericans who have student loan debts & not everyone else, the $600 checks that trump put his name to (not even including the additional $2000 checks) total up to $26 Billion dollars that went to people with student loan debt that could be used to pay off any debt they wanted.

#and the US population is roughly 300 million #5 billion dollars / 40 million people = slightly over $100 per person

The way the Magnolia sun gleamed in through the crack in curtain, and splayed itself over the pink satin sheets of Lucy’s apartment, signalled the beginning of a new day. Vague memories of having made brunch plans with Levy the day prior hazed through her mind, but right now, her bed was just too comfy, her sheets, too plush, and the arm wrapped tightly around her waist was too warm to think about being anywhere but here.

Natsu stirred a little as Lucy shifted in his arms, turning herself over to face him before burying her face under his chin. In his half-sleep state, he accommodated her request, resting his chin atop her head as she hooked her leg around him, pulling him even closer into her grasp. Her fingers found a home in his hair, dragging them through his locks in a way that had him practically purring at her touch, which made it all the worse when she decided to pull away, to which he responded in turn with an involuntary whine at the loss of her touch.

His eyes fluttered open to meet hers, soft and radiant among the morning glow. Her lips were pursed slightly, practically begging to be encased by his own, and who was he to deny her that? He moved his arm to rest a hand on her cheek, gently caressing it with his calloused thumb before leaning in closer to her.

Lucy let out a hum of anticipation, letting her eyes fall shut as she waited for his lips to touch hers, only to feel a wave of shock pulse through her body when she felt his tongue drag across her face. She bolted up into a sitting position, only to be met with her partner, who was absolutely laughing his ass off at her reaction.

"Did you just lick me?!"

Her face was filled with disgust as she watched Natsu try, and fail, to pull himself back together, wiping away the tears he had begun to shed in his hysteric state.

Between cackles and trying to regain his breath, Natsu managed to choke out, "Man! You shoulda seen you face, you wer-"

Before he could even begin to think of how to end his sentence, Lucy grabbed her pillow and hit him with a loud THWACK. Whatever punishment she was trying to administer clearly failed her, as any composure he had managed to regain was fully diminished, being replaced once more with absolute howling laughter, muffled slightly by the pillow over his head.

Whilst her partner was still cackling to himself over his little prank, Lucy pulled her legs over so she was straddling him, her arms crossed over her chest, with a pout on her lips, and her eyebrows furrowed in frustration. Her half-hearted attempt at intimidating him into an apology was futile, as Natsu shoved the pillow off of his face and met her with that stupid, charming grin of his that made her forget everything bad in the world, (including his childish antics, this case included).

His hands found their way to her waist, pushing up her shirt slightly before rubbing small circles against her soft skin with his thumb. The action pulled Lucy out of her anger; instead, she was filled with a feeling of content, her arms dropping to her sides to rest her hands atop his, only to be pulled back in when Natsu spoke up, a mischievous look crossing his face.

"Ya want another one?"

"No, I do NOT want another one, thank you very much!" She all but screeched as she pulled herself off of him and the bed, taking the comforter with her, leaving him exposed to the air as he once again fell into a fit of laughter.

"You are the worst!" she cried, throwing the duvet to the ground and making her escape to the door before he could try anything else.

"I love you, Lucyyyy," he called out to her from across the room, "c’mon, come back to bed; I promise I won’t lick ya this time!"

"No, you can't I love you your way out of this one, Natsu!" she retorted as she tried to make her way into the kitchen, her back to him.

Unaffected by her reprimands, Natsu jumped out of her bed and rushed over to her, wrapping his arms around her waist and lifting her up, burying his face in her neck, peppering it with kisses, amused as she squealed in surprise, and carrying her back to bed, where they both flopped down onto the mattress. With a sigh, Lucy gave in to his affections, snuggling closer to him and thanking every star there was that at least he hadn’t tried tickling her.

"I love you," he repeated, his lips grazing against her forehead.

"Yeah, yeah, I love you too, stupid."

#mya writes things #fairy tail #nalu #natsu dragneel #lucy heartfilia #instead of finishing the fic im writing #that i have been agonising over for a week #which would only take like maybe 300 words #i wrote this whole thing in an hour #anyway trying out just posting it straight to see if more people read it that way #we are just raw dogging it tonight

Dev's (C)Leo Biases,

Or,

A Comprehensive History of How Leonidas Became Nearly Everyone's Object of Thirst

So, among the Dragalia Lost team, it was rather well known that they admitted to a strong Cleo bias.

It's pretty easy to see, in anything from Cleo's early spate of alts, like Dragonyule and Summer in quick succession, to the utterly random unique outfits they flaunted in ch.9 that you can just tell they drew for funsies but really liked them and wanted to put them in the game despite it serving no real purpose...

The dev team just really, really loved Cleo and drawing her. But after they apparently used up their Cleo allowance to make Gala Cleo probably the single strongest character in the game at the time, they cooled it down a bit.

However, as much as they were apparently thirsting over Cleo, I would joke that somewhere along the way, some part of the dev team, feeling desperate now that the yearly Cleo Allowance was running dry as they prepared to release Gala Cleo, decided to find a new fixation to quench their addiction.

And since Cleo was off-limits, they turned to the next best thing: crossing out the C in Cleo to find their newest substitute Dev Thirst character.

That's right, we're talking about the one and only Leonidas.

Leonidas had kinda just melded into the background with the rest of the siblings at this point to my observations. Sure, he was a campaign antagonist. People weren't particularly clamoring for him in particular over the other siblings, though. Honestly, I'd wager Emile was more popular at this stage, even in a 'love to hate' sense, just because we'd already seen him so much.

But then, it started. Whether it was art like this being posted on their twitter just a few scant months before G!Cleo's debut...

...They just seemed to have a certain edge in artworks featuring Mr. Curry in a way to make one squint and tilt your head sideways.

For instance:

It's one of those cases where you just kinda get a feeling the artist(s) found x attractive in a way that simultaneously still can give you a moment of self-doubt if that's not just you projecting because there's no blatantly obvious signs, you know? Whether it's something about the posing, or angles, whatever it is, I got this air increasingly whenever they put out any Leonidas art.

Thankfully, they decided to put me out of my misery and just flat out make what's likely the single most suggestive wyrmprint (or honestly art piece in general since Dragalia was thankfully very very very tame) starring none other than, you guessed it, Leonidas.

(Secret Cygames/Nintendo conversation, probably: "As you can see, it's vitally important that we draw this character in a speedo with sparkles around him." Nintendo: "...I'll allow it. This time.")

Even if he puts on some more clothes in the refined version, we're still back to that air I mentioned, as the shot focuses almost entirely on him instead of the wildly popular Chelle or his pet panther (which, yes, seemed to be an actual pet of his):

Even the Ilia-damned funny chibi comics got in on this thirst train as it went on and made quite possibly the raunchiest joke in the entire 400+ comic run featuring Leonidas, even if the exact same joke didn't make the translation overseas, however they tried. You can see a brief breakdown of that in THIS post.

Not content to restrict it to art and comics, Leonidas also dropped this line that is permanently engraved into my mind with just how shocking it was to see anything of this caliber in Dragalia, in his baby brother's story to boot!

At this point, I could no longer deny it: the devs and artists had collectively acquired a new fixation to satiate their once insatiable Cleo appetite in the form of Mr. Currymeister. (Don't worry about Emile there, he's just drowning, he does that all the time in waist-high water)

And this attitude even extends to in-universe, too! People increasingly fawned over the first prince, who very much was filling in the role of 'this prince you know vs. his hotter and more competent elder brother', as virtually represented by my expert skills in Microsoft Paint artistry as such:

Naturally, there was only so much time before the people IRL could succumb to Leonidas Fever (and no, this time we're not talking about all the people who were so devoted to this dude to effectively set themselves into a fatal, firey, steroid-filled death!) at this unrelenting onslaught.

It was hard not to see comments such as these that started pouring in (and yes, all of these were just about Leonidas exclusively):

(I'll attribute the misspelling to being overcome with Leonidas Fever, a grave illness indeed!)

(Another serious symptom: the decline of any self-preservation instinct around Leonidas, who is indeed Very Dangerous and Will Kill You!)

Ahem. You get the picture. Thus concludes the slow, insidious buildup from just another sibling for Euden to probably commit a whoopsie-daisy fratricide in the future to one of the fandom's favorite menaces, all carefully plotted-out by the collective efforts of devs who were the first to succumb to the sickness...Right?

This concludes my professional historical report on this very serious issue that I suspect lingers to this day. The Fever has but been put into remission; it has not faded yet.

Extra:

So a long time ago I commented that some of the royal family seemed to have pointier teeth than normal, which I speculated because they deliberated giving a bit more 'draconic' traits to define dragonblood, and I didn't realize how pervasive this was until I saw Emile's model there. Look at his fang!

...

...How did I forget the weapon skin of Leo's gun is additionally named "Royal Dominator"?

#The royal family truly robbed the bank with their genetics. Magic powers. Sharp-looking as a whole...and they have been for 300 years+! #dragalia lost #dragalia #leonidas #He's strong. He's handsome. He's a fantastic chef. He's had cat ears put on him in a comic. #the People were to put it bluntly Screwed or so I would reckon in my comprehensive study of #'why the heck are you guys thirsting over xyz character NOW?' #...Also a very formal scientific field. #I'm additionally glad in the end that Leo bore the brunt of this #Since at least he's likely 25+. A disappointingly high amount of media can't even manage that!

jesus christ tumblr REALLY not fun to just stumble on fucking s/lf h/rm posts on the recommendation tab. the issue with this is actually astounding.

#it's because I tag silent hill as sh I guess! which is shorthand for mentioned above #I've already fucking reported this dozens of times #etc etc they keep a tight leash on everything except for this. it's incredible. #I'm so over it it's fucking terrible to see a post and worse that it has 300 notes #take a break from banning trans people and falsely flagging things maybe

Not sure if anybody ask, but do you take commissions/requests?

If a request interests me enough I'll do it but as a general rule the answer is no ;^^

I wonder how old Willy‚ and by extension, the rest of the first-gen crest bearers were cause Jerry is (iirc) over 300 years old according to Nopes (and his Barney support showed he had physical problems). Iirc Willy stepped back after WoH but there's no mention of when he died‚ like do fake their deaths cause they would be outliving multiple generations. Do they travel out of the continent? Do their children also have long lifespans? (Assuming that they survived the WoH.)

Willy ask?

Yep, we don't know when he died, but in Nopes, Seteth says he's long dead, and Rhea, uh, misses him and wishes he was around when fighting against Supreme Leader.

Jerry growing old and feeble is really one of the things Nopes annoyed me with, because come on, Rhea could just have waited for Nemesis to become unable to fight to rekt him... but no, Nemesis was still a force to be reckoned with.

We don't have any timeline, but Nemesis should have been well over 100 just like the Elites at the time of their death, and I guess Willy was, at the end of the WoH, something like around 120 or 150 (Rhea most likely didn't made him emperor when he was a kid!).

TFW Jerry's not feeling old age catch up to him, but the consequences of his excessive drinking

IIRC the Book of Seiros says only the Elites (thus by extension the first gen crested people) live long, not their children - we know the Elites sans Maurice were terminated, but we don't know about the other major crested randoms (Bergliez/Aegir ancestor, Varley 1, etc etc).

I don't see them faking their deaths even if they outlive several generations because, hey, Willy's the living example of someone who lived over 100, just like the Elites, and I guess the "reasoning" behind the Elites' extended lifespan also applied to them? (something like first gen crest bearers were "blessed specially" by the Goddess so they have an extended lifespan ?) contrary to Nabateans who do not seem to age as fast as crested humans, and live up to 1k years.

Maybe they travel around the continent or just remained in Fodlan being either cryptids or travelling around to help randoms (like the Apostles who ultimately founded their own villages?) and died somewhere.

I'm rather fond of the HC that First Gen crest bearers, just like Nabateans, don't decay or decay more "slowly" than other humans, they still can't be harvested for Relics or whatnot, but it serves to make them stand apart from the other crestless humans - which of course would have been used by Adrestian Nobles, especially the ones who descend from them, to brag about how "special" they were (and conveniently, the bodies of the Elites were never recovered*, so they are the only ones who can prove their descent from someone "special"!).

*tfw Thales had already recovered them first then put them in his freezer before Rhea or the Elite's descendants could even wonder why their tombs/graves/resting places were empty

#anon #replies #is it the wilhelm hour? #FE16 #war of heroes stuff #i mean it's mostly about them #then about Jerry #Willy's body is specially conserved in some sort of magical see through coffin #Seeing Willy became a tourist attraction in Enbarr #Emperors were so mad bcs Willy's attraction was sold as 'see the eternal great emperor wilhelm for 10 coins!' #and uh he's already dad damn it what's this nonsense about eternal emperors?? They're the ones in charge! #Given how the zombies of VW aren't described as a gang of old people wrecking people #I really wonder about the 'decaying after death' thing #Jerry growing old and feeble because of his age is also nonsensical to me #again Nemesis and his pals were doing bandit things until Seiros rekted them #they were well over 100 or even 150 if we want because Rhea came out of the mountains in -46 or something #Nemesis looks like an old crusty bastard and yet he's a force of nature #unless Sothis' blood has special properties regarding the humans who ingest it #I can't see Jerry feeling old and weak at 300 when at most likely 200 Nemesis is alive and kicking enough to be a serious foe to Seiros
