I have a doctor's appointment in an hour. Ask me about my Hunter/Tech/Echo/Fives agenda so I can make everyone else love these four dorks together.

@ffdemon

*adjusts clown nose*

The biggest takeaway here is that Fives survived and had been in hiding for years, hoarding important intelligence for the resistance. The Bad Batch happened mostly the same, but Tech never fell, and they rescued Crosshair the first time, null and void 90% of season 3.

Obviously, Fives was stunned when he was found not only by Rex but by Echo of all people. Things picked up where they left off between them like no time had passed...except a lot of time has passed, and Echo was head over heels in a three-way relationship with Hunter and Tech.

Cue Hunter and Tech meeting Fives, and they immediately understand the attraction. He's handsome, funny, and brilliant. They all suddenly have a lot to discuss, but it's not without some complications.

It eventually leads to a happily ever after, but there's lots of sex and feelings big and small in between.

@gun-roswell here is the little glimpse I've written of these four so far:

Thank you👍😎❤️

props for possibly my fav comment on AO3 ever

Tech’s a thinking 

Never a dull moment in my own head. As thinking is what I do instead of jumping into things without, yes you guessed it, thinking it thoroughly through!

That, was a lot of th-sounds for sure!

Alas, I digress, as yes, I do plan too.

Using the holonet on my trusted data-pad doing all the research possible to not to have to guess, rather having the almost hundred percent success. A full-proof plan laid out and only then, do I charge.

Smart eh?

My brilliant mind, carrying me through this thing called life. Sometimes turning left, more often times right!

*This poll was submitted to us and we simply posted it so people could vote and discuss their opinions on the matter. If you’d like for us to ask the internet a question for you, feel free to drop the poll of your choice in our inbox and we’ll post them anonymously (for more info, please check our pinned post).

For anyone who needs a refresher on why this is an obnoxious question:

This is from a few years ago because FFN and Wattpad stats require you to take a random sample and hand-count. (In these charts, the multi & other category includes everything with multiple ship types listed in addition to things labeled as 'multi' and 'other'. That's because this is basically not a thing outside of AO3.)

The difficulty of grabbing other stats is why wankers always get to pretend AO3 is everything and m/m is the big category that must somehow be responsible for the lack of f/f.

People who ask this question are either too stupid or too malicious to be able to research fandom.

--

AO3 was founded by m/m shippers. The early adopters were m/m shippers.

It's like asking why the clubhouse has club members in it. I don't know, Susan. Truly, it is a mystery.

As time passes, AO3 gets less m/m-centric, but it's still a rare archive where you can filter out het, so it will always have more m/m (and, indeed, f/f) than many spaces.

--

And before someone bawwwws that it's ~the most popular site~

Go make another site popular...

Or post more of what you want and invite more writers of what you want to AO3.

FFN was more popular than AO3 for years. Even after its traffic began to decline, it had more works.

Wattpad was definitely just as popular (and big!) if not vastly moreso until recently. Whining that you personally don't like the site won't change that it's wildly, wildly popular.

You want to complain that the world is too straight but the queer cultural spaces tend not to be for f/f? Fair enough.

You want to complain that the BL section at the bookstore has BL in it while standing with your back to the TOWERING WALL that is the het romance section?

Fuck you, you homophobic, TERFy little shitstain.

Being a queer person myself, I write and read both F/F and M/M fic. In the past (a long time ago) fanfic was the best and perhaps only source for queer relations for someone like myself.

I don’t really care about the gender of the character as long as they’re interesting and complex ones to write about. I don’t necessarily have to relate to them to understand them. But that’s just me.

Lately in my fandoms I have found enough characters to write about, making up more of them as I go along on journeys with them. After all, this is Fanon and in my little world, everyone is queer, even just a little bit😎🖖

Reblog if you think fanfiction is a legitimate form of creative writing.

Absolutely 👍
