Looking back on each universe objectively, it kinda comes down to those three universes having a stand-out character who fans attach to. Jasper and to an extent Pam are pretty sexually liberal and have plenty of personality to go with it. Secondary characters like Phillis Patenicia, Selina Kyle and Ms. Quinn have a better chance to develop because plenty of people inquire about them. Palmer Isley himself even changed from his inception which creates investment.
Pearl, Clara, Amethyst, Stevonnie, etc were also allowed to develop faster simply from output; the SU AU takes the least amount of time to answer so it naturally has the most drawings. Aensland Estate I think is more popular because all of the characters orbit around Rin Aensland, who changes over time, affecting every other character in her wake. In addition to being able to create new characters, she has LARGE influence on the universe itself, thus she’s given the most detailed character arc of all.
Pocket Mums is probably higher on the food chain because it has the same ensemble type harem cast but has characters with motivation. Dawn is a nervous wreck because she’s a single mother who’s incredibly sexually frustrated and uses cam shows and hookups to fill the gap. Sabrina is cold and silent because she doesn’t understand how relationships work but tries too hard to please her girlfriend, Phoebe. May is trashy because she hates her marriage and her husband. It’s simple but it’s much deeper than her just being a drunk because she’s a drunk.
But hey, I encourage everyone to still look through the Regiment 803 tag if ya can, I think you’ll all find something to latch on to like Leona’s body positivity, Blair’s trickery, Sheva’s puppy love for Leona and Jade’s dudebro antics. Lol
