Call me Toast or Toasty • multifandom, but lots of royjamiekeeley & Ted Lasso • my fic on AO3 • my fandom stats on AO3@toastystats is my fandom stats-only side blog • A note to coworkers/family: If I did not tell you about this blog, let's just pretend you never found it, and let's never, ever, ever have awkward conversations about my fanfic, or slash, or god forbid omegaverse or something. All right? Great! :) • Icon modified from Jeph Jacques’s Questionable Content • Header by @lumikat

Fandom stats (sideblog: @toastystats ) -- I gather and share fandom data for fun! My fandom stats on AO3 include:

If you want to do similar analyses, you may want to use the spreadsheets I generated from the AO3 Selective Data Dump. You can also reuse any of my data and cite any of my posts. I also have code on Github for scraping archives (warning: very old at this point, not well maintained). Also see my tutorials.

Fic and other writing -- I write fanfic, often polyamorous (I accidentally wrote a long Ted Lasso OT3 fic, and am writing another; I also wrote a Sherlock OT3 longfic). I blog about my cats, who were once feral kittens. I have greatest hits.

Fandom tags to block/browse: #ted lasso (I'm mostly all about this show right now!), #sherlock, #iwtv, #the sandman, #got/#hotd, #wot, #star trek

Anyway here’s a poem I wrote about my cat

After “Do not stand at my grave and weep”, author disputed:

Do not stand at your bowl and meow. I gave you food. It’s in there now. I feed you at the dawning light, I feed you at the fall of night. I feed you kibbles mixed with meat And wet food for a special treat. I feed you even though you scoff At all the food within your trough. I feed you and still yet you yell Like as a beast from deepest hell. Do not stand at your bowl and cry. I gave you food. You will not die.

I wrote one for my roommate’s cat as well;

Do not stand at my feet and cry It’s VEGETABLES, you silly guy! Your begging will not change the food Into a thing you think is good I’ll give you things not cheese or meat You sniff at them and then retreat And yet, as soon as chopping starts You run back in and beg for parts You squint your eyes at plant-based food And yet you won’t stop BEGGING, dude! Do not stand by the stove and bleat You don’t like this. You will not eat.

I haven't had the best day, but this...this made me laugh so hard I had to get a tissue and wipe my eyes 🤣🤣🤣
