Some notes:

No actual new tags this month, although someone told me that Aphmau stories were finally canonized seveal months ago and I have now added them to the list! If you spot anything I've left of the list, let me know, I only see the things that get added with "SMP" in the name.

Fics are still primarily in english, but we have three exceptions with significant spanish fics. Karmaland (731 of 823 are in Spanish, from 722 spanish last month), Tortillaland (110 of 115 are in spanish, down from 111 spanish fics last month), and QSMP (668 of 6,495 are in spanish, from 527 spanish fics last month). QSMP also shows 30 works in French, the same as last month, and 375 works in Brasilian Portugese, up from 322 last month. I went through all the languages and QSMP also has 1 fic in American Sign Language, 1 fic in Bahasa Malaysia, 1 fic in German, 1 fic in Esperanto, 1 fic in Filipino, 5 fics in European Portugese, 5 fics in Русский, 1 fic in Suomi, 1 fic in Tiếng Việt, 3 fics in 中文-普通话 國語.

In the small and micro fandoms, the standout was once again Pirates SMP, perhaps modivated partially by their finale. Their 23-fic increase beat last month's 22-fic increase— not by much, but it did beat it. The other stellar work was Kaboodle, which saw an increase of 16 fics, which given that they started at 71 fics, means the fandom increased by almost 23%! Of the 26 fandoms with 200 fics or under, 10 posted a 0-fic increase, and Idots posted a decrease for the second month in a row.

In the midsize fandoms, one of the new fandoms, MyStreet, posted an impressive 28-fic increase, though it remains to be seen if that's from people re-tagging with the new canonical tag or the actual amount of fics the fandom is turning out. Despite this showing however, they could not beat the always-on-top fandom, Fable SMP, which posted 34 fics. Fable SMP is increasing steadily towards that 1000-fic mark which means I consider it a large fandom. At this rate, maybe two months will see them cross that barrier.

In the large fandoms, we saw some significant differences depending on fandom. Empires was significantly less than last month's 240 with 117, Hermicraft's 574 was reduced from last month's 651, and DSMP declined catastrophically from last month's 1,269 to posting only 767 new fics, the first time they've posted less than a thousand fics a month since I've been tracking it. All these fandoms being post-canon or end of season, plus exams/social stress of end of year have potentially had an effect. However, the two mega fandoms that are currently posting lots of content had a very different month. 3rd life posted 628 fics, comfortably beating last month's 552 and actually being a number that I've only seen beaten once, in April 2023 (671 fics). QSMP saw 894 fics posted this month, which is less than last month's 913, but also the second highest month that I've seen posted in that fandom.

[a-plethora-of-peters]

I asked my youngest sibling, @galacticnbinspace , to name people in the Dream SMP as well as in Hermitcraft (not including Pearl and Gem)

Here are the results...

Feel free to reblog with your favorites!

(I have a personal fondness for Wilbur being called Plain Ass and Keralis being called Your Face When You See Your Friend MURDER)

So you guys don't have to struggle with my bad handwriting and get some bonus commentary, here's a list of everyone's new names in order, going down each column, left to right under the cut

DSMP

Dream - Dream (OFC) [The first of the DSMP people my sibling will recognize on this page]

George - Wilbur Soot 2.0 [Xey were very adamant that George looks more interesting than actual Wilbur does lol]

Sapnap - Dan [Fae had no further comments besides that he looks like a Dan]

Callahan - Pancake Cookie [.... Voi isn't wrong, he does look a little like Pancake Cookie from Cookie Run Ovenbreak]

Sam - King Gavin Free [They remembered that Gavin from Achievement Hunter uses a Creeper Skin so they associated Sam with Gavin during his King Gavin Let's Play]

Alyssa - Scene girl that I went to school with [Valid, have a nice day]

Ponk - Wrestler? [I can see where xey were getting those vibes, apparently Ponk's mask made xem think of a Luchadore mask]

Bad - BadBoyHalo [Another of the DSMP members that fae recognized!]

Tommy - Tommy [Two in a row!]

Fundy - JoJo Fox (Xey know he is Fundy but lol) [Voi knows that his name is Fundy and that he is trans fox lad, but they thought that calling him a JoJo Fox was too funny to pass up lol]

Punz & Purpled - Twins? [They know what's up! They know what's up!]

Wilbur - Plain Ass [Xey looked me dead in the eyes as xey said this btw. No emotion. Just deadpan seriousness. Nothing but Plain Ass Motherfucker.]

Schlatt - Schlatt [Fae has watched the How Bad Can I Be animatic a lot so fae can recognize him pretty easily]

Skeppy - Knock-Off Charlie [Voi was a bit miffed that Charlie's skin doesn't actually make him look like a slime person]

Eret - Knock-Off Techno [Ouch. Brutal. I'm sorry Queen. But they have a point...]

Jack and Niki - More Scene Kids [Valid, have a nice day!]

Mexican Dream - Mexican Dream (They thought Italian Dream at first until I pointed out that that was the wrong flag and corrected xemself once I informed xem that he's supposed to be the Mexican flag)

Karl - Art Student [... No comment...]

HBomb - Wannabe Pirate [It's the headband and the coat]

Techno - Techno [BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!]

Antfrost - Naked Furry [Fae died laughing when I told faem that this was the DSMP person that I asked if their name was a viable Warriors Cat name... For the record, fae told me yes, Antfrost is a viable Warriors Cat name.]

Phil - Philza [There were many jokes made about him being a weeb lol]

Connor - Sanic [Because he is not Sonic truly, he is knock-off Sonic]

Puffy - Another Art Student [Fair enough...]

Vik - Discount Steve [When your mom says that you have Steve at home /j]

Ranboo - Ranboo [We joke that voi is a Ranboo kinnie since voi is taller than most of the people in our family and voi loves Hawaiian shirts and the like]

Foolish - Foolish [I think they memorized his skin from all the times I shoved fanart in their face screaming about how people make amazing designs from that blob lol]

Hannah - Thot (Affectionate) [She has those thigh highs which means she's a thot but she's adorable so affectionately a thot]

Charlie - Charlie [After the Skeppy fake-out xey were disappointed in his plain design but said it was still better than Wilbur]

Lazar - Ginger Brave [okay at least he looks like an actual Cookie Run character right?]

Quackity - :) [Voi says that Quackity and Dream should change emoji smilies so that Dream is :] and Quackity is :) because of how their smiles on their skins look]

Tubbo - Tubbo [only guessed him by process of elimination RIP]

Hermitcraft

Bdubs - Terrifying Anime Steve [The big eyes scared them!]

Beef - A Man™ (Xey were annoyed that his skin is so plain and that there were a bunch of other fairly plain skins amongst the Hermits too)

Cleo - Modern Sally (Nightmare Before Christmas) [Cleo does look like Sally ngl!!]

Cub - Appropriating for Science [fae was all squinty at Cub wearing a Pharoh outfit but gave me that response so I guess that's a win???]

Doc - Another one of you fucks!? [the context for this is that out of three groups of YouTubers that do Minecraft videos, I always seem to get attached to the ones with Creeper skins first so this was voi calling me out on my Creeper obsession lol]

Etho - Kakashi (Weeb 2.0) [Philza is obviously Weeb 1.0 lol]

False - Steampunk Scene Kid [Yeah she's got the vibes...]

Grian - Another Plain Man™ [they threw up their arms and was all "OFC! He did!" when I told them that Wilbur got inspired by Grian's skin when making his own]

Hypno - Solid Snake [Can't really argue that my dudes]

Impulse - Why are there so many Plain Men™?? [Yeah Impulse is kinda plain compared to a bunch of the others ngl]

Iskall - Duke Nukem [Honestly I have no words. Xey are correct.]

Jevin - Slime Boy :) [What it says on the tin my dudes]

Joe - Scene Phase Steve [I wanna apologize for voi but voi isn't wrong at all lol]

Keralis - Your face when you see your friend MURDER [I mean... Again... Not wrong...]

Mumbo - Geoff Ramsey??? [I used to draw FAHC Geoff in a suit with a curly moustache so they thought that was what Mumbo's skin is lol]

Ren - Vampire Steve [Not far off the mark if you like to subscribe to Werewolf Ren headcanon]

Scar - Clown Steve [........ No comment......]

Stress - Pastel Girl :) [appropriately menacing imo]

Tango - Edgelord™ [GOD HE REALLY IS THO!! THE DARK CLOTHES AND THE RED EYES? EDGY AF!!!]

TFC - If I see one more Plain Man™, I swear to God-! [Yeah it's kinda plain but that's our Minecraft Grandpa! We go easy on him!]

Wels - A nice Lad! [Knights are always welcome in our household!]

xB - GODDAMMIT [Arguably the plainest of the Plain Men™ after Grian, xB kinda had this coming tbh]

Xisuma - Doom Bee [Initially Master Bee until I pointed out that this was a Doom Guy skin not a Master Chief Skin. We agreed that Doom Bee has a better ring to it lol]

Zedaph - Superhero? [Xey joked about him being Wonder Woman until I told xem that his name is Wormman and xey were all "Ahhhh that explains the pink and the W..."]

[barbiegirldream]

you always have some of the best takes tbh. people were misconstruing her original tweet when it was literally valid criticism that mycttwt was under fire for before (for example, harassing a 17 year old so badly that you trend his name with neg not one BUT two days in a row, with the second time being right after he opens up about his mental health and how detrimental twitter has been to it)

tone tags are completely valid to use but the idea that you can just be terrible and just slap an indicator on it and think it absolves you of any consequences? especially, again, when it's trended before. these aren't celebrities who have distance from their fans, they're actively on their social media and the internet because this is their job and they're going to see it. like people who are calling it white women terms, her blaming misogyny, or her own self-making? hannah gets a lot of hate for simply being unapologetically vocal about her own skills in her games.

idk if it's because this is the first fandom for a lot of them or what but i do hope they grow from this. there's such a toxic echo chamber on twt and it's unhealthy for everyone involved.

Aww thank you

I have been talking with some people lol (I don’t know if Seph would want to be tagged but if you see this hi 👋 ) about how this feels like there are a lot of kids who don’t understand how truly progressive the DSMP is in particular.

Five years ago you would have never seen something so welcoming, so massive, and so fun to be in. Like I have never felt more of an actual sense of community than I have in the DSMP.

And also people really need to have a moral reason to hate things nowadays even if it’s to go so far as to make something up.

Like this thing with Hannah is not a real critical thing. She asked people not to disguise their blatant hate behind tone indicators. If you are offended on being called out for sending death threats you aren’t among the group of people using /neg correctly. She isn’t trying to silence people who have actual criticisms or things to say that may be negative.

But it’s like with Tommy. Calling out that his joke made people uncomfortable and tagging it Tommy neg because people have hyper fixations? excellent.

S*icide baiting a teenager and his fans and then tagging it Tommy neg? Not okay. That’s what Hannah was calling out. And if you disagree with that well I’ve never seen a more terminally online toxic attitude than defending actual cyberbullying.

And yes very much on your point about these CCs being online. They’re going to see it when you tag them or get things about them trending. However I know lots of people who were told negative things about these CCs, go to watch them, and then actually become fans.

I have never really watched Hannah before but I’m about to become a stan on main and check out her twitch and stuff. She seems based.

Let’s hope for all the CCs to ditch Twitter. I know it’s hard for say Dream who has a bit of an addiction but he seems to be taking a step back. (If he wants to keep the Dream Fanart account that seems to make him happy and it’s very focused on fans and their art so yeah that’s probably the best we could hope for lol)
