sure it was a perfect storm of a pressure cooker but i promise destiel was about destiel

#like 2020 was all building towards something. the isolation the pandemic the general uncertainty of day to day life #toss in the heated election and counting process. sure it *couldve* been anything else. but it *wasnt*. #it was destiel. that night there were even other rumours circulating about other shows. another show even had a huge reveal! #but the most widespread and known was destiel because of course it was! because thats what everyone was losing their mind over! #look at the statistics chart of a history of destiel interest over time! i promise the destiel interest is about destiel! #were people all equally invested? no! were some people memeing? yes! but by and large nov 5th became a juggernaut bc of destiel #as someone who literally was refreshing for election news and developed mania from seeing destiel go canon. it was about destiel #sure the intersection of destiel and election results was fun. but i posted way more destiel than election stuff. cause it was about destie #anyway. idk why im on a soapbox #char speaks #destielputinelection #destiel

Question for fic writers!

#fic writers #poll #ao3 #no idea what to tag this with and yes i want this to get big as much as i'll hate it bc i'm so curious #according to my statistics i have over 2k comment threads (not comments - comment threads aka comments people have left individually) #so i do not reply to all the comments on my fics unless i am currently writing it/it's a recent fic/the comment is really good

im a fraternal twin which means i hate identical twins on principle because everyone cares more about them. "its cool cuz they look the same" that's not even that cool im faceblind everyone looks the same to me. and like anyone can be an ovum and then split in half. but me and my twin managed to get fertilized at the exact same time despite the odds being against it . what are the chances of that huh. an identical twin could never. and then one day ur like 8 and someone goes "oh you're a twin that's so cool!" but when u say ur not identical they don't gaf anymore. well i still think its cool. my brother shoved me up behind our mom's ribs and i was born at like four pounds and now u disrespect my struggle? fuck yiu

#text #also yes i know fraternal twins are statistically more common. HOWEVER. . fuck you #this is all /silly btw i literally do not care about this that much

hockey isn’t the most written about sport in fanfiction because the players are hot it’s because at the end of every single game they do this with their goalie

#like yes people find hockey players hot but the reason for the rpf is the homoeroticism of the sport and chemistry amongst players #i’m so confident about this too idc #sorry i saw a tiktok about students doing a study about what makes a player popular to write ff about and they looked at like statistics #and team popularity and stuff but it was mostly inconsistent #and then they said one of the other ppl in the class said they should have tried to look at objective hotness #which one that’s like impossible to measure and two i truly don’t think that has that much to do with it #like it’s a factor yes but it’s definitely not THE factor

very carefully explaining to the princes of asgard how recessive genes work and skirting around details because eye colour is the textbook example and one of them has green eyes when neither parent does. hair colour is the other example in the textbook but well one of them has black hair when neither parent did.

#teacher sweating like haha yes it IS possible! #(statistical prevalence is not in the syllabus unfortunately haha) #forget that they're aliens and could have reversed recessive/dominant patterns #teacher sweating even more as the only other example that comes to mind is the textbook example of hair #which is even WORSE because Odin and Frigga both have blonde hair. and Loki's is not blonde. #0% #but surely both parents are mages and that is some un-researched field and you shouldn't confuse two young boys with such nonsense talk #HAHAHA #HA.

At the end of season 1 of Blue Eye Samurai, Mizu and Taigen and Akemi have all essentially turned away from one another to individually find themselves.

I wonder if at some point they will all return to one another, and be able to fulfil their respective wants and/or needs together instead of apart.

#this is how my triad can still win #bes spoilers #blue eye samurai spoilers #mizu blue eye samurai #akemi blue eye samurai #taigen blue eye samurai #mizu x taigen x akemi #mizu x taigen #mizu x akemi #takayoshi x akemi #blue eye samurai #blue eye samurai season 2 #blue eye samurai headcanons #bes netflix #mizu #taigen #akemi #polygamy to the rescue once again: solving 70% of all shipping debates (yes that is a true statistic ofc why do you ask?)

It would mean a lot to me if y’all could take and share this survey for my research project!

I found out over 80% of women wear the wrong bra size and it made me so mad I decided to do a whole research project about it, in a few months I’ll have a zine made on the subject!

I’m interested especially in any feedback from trans folks, and especially trans women who wear bras. Most of the research on bras focuses specifically on cisgender women and I want to make sure this survey is inclusive towards anyone with breasts and anyone who wears bras other than cisgender women, who are already well accounted for in the field- trans women, trans men, non-binary folks, people with gynecomastia, etc. If you’re trans and you have any suggestions for inclusivity please let me know in the survey or in the replies here!

People who are eligible:

- literally anyone 18 or older who owns and wears a bra

Share with your friends, family, partners, social media, etc anyone!

Thanks so much y’all!!!

#feminist #feminism #terfs die #‘we know why it’s misogyny’ yes I know but there’s no research on the subject #additionally the reason for the lack of trans inclusive language in the statistic is bc #there’s no research on the amount of men who wear the wrong size #cisgender or trans #depending on my financial status I may offer a gift card raffle style later on

okay due to experiencing my less than proudest moment i have to ask

#yes i did manage to recognise gale from just his ass cheeks #it was someones icon in my notes sjdfhks #and i went ''is that gale?? let me check'' #it was in fact gale :( #i should have a tag for my polls #statistical nonesense #there we go

grabbing fistfuls of my own hair rocking back and forth repeating to myself like some kind of fucked up wizardly enchantment you should care about womens sports because its literally the same fucking sport why do i have to bend over backwards to convince you to care about womens sports like at an abstract level it is the exact same fucking thing and yet you cannot bear to possibly watch it unless you think the women are hot or there is some sort of social gain why is it so hard for you to care about womens sports when they are literally doing all of it better than the men

#i stand by my belief that womens sports are more entertaining anyways but i know that is somewhat personal preferences so ok! fine! #but they are the same then! #obviously yes there are legit differences in ~style~ and such based on the way different sports have evolved #ex: female basketballers are statistically better shooters than male basketballers #but like the sport itself is practically identical so why is it so fucking impossible for some people #to get interested in a sport they claim they love #just because women are doing it #i'm not sitting here like 'mmm how do i convince people to watch women's sport' like a legit plot #i'm just baffled i really don't understand #i mean i do understand of course but i'm just tired of it being this way lol #i want to talk to more people who have the level of brainrot i have about women's sports and it feels like everyone i know well #is just not that interested in the women even though they're interested in the men #of course there are people online but i get self-conscious and i don't know anyone well enough to truly go to the depths of my own brainrot #this is just a combination of genuine frustration but also my own loneliness lol #< wayyy more dramatic than it actually is for the record i'm not like lonely lonely #i just want someone who actually understands why i go nuts over this and who i feel comfortable spamming about it 😭 #blah blah blah words

I was busy fawning over some fictional men and this question suddenly hit me…Has Dipper ever really got into a celebrity or a character or something similar like that? And how would Bill react if he did, would he tease him about it or be jealous?

I think it would be amusing if there was, say, a demon hunter type, a colleague of Ford's, who gained some celebrity! Dipper, when he was younger, would easily be swayed by the 'charismatic heroism' of some Cool Young Guy in the profession he admires.

Bill is obviously jealous, as is his nature.

I can't decide, however, if it's funnier if Ford regrets not introducing Dipper to that guy when he had the chance, or if he's appalled. That man? His scientific rigor is terrible! His results are shoddy! Dipper should find a partner who respects science, damn it.

#answers #I just find it amusing for people to continually shake their heads at Dipper's terrible taste in men #Also if Ford's main objection to his younger colleague is that he's an idiot who couldn't science his way out of a paper bag #And yes he's a douchebag but MAINLY it's that he's terrible at doing anything but looking flashy. Dipper please. Look at these statistics. #The formatting is off and his math doesn't track #This graph doesn't even have the AXES labeled for crying out loud #He has to spend a long moment debating with himself whether or not that guy would have been worse than Bill #I mean Cipher's a horrific nightmare demon and Ford's nemesis but at least *he* knows what P>.05 is for god's sake #It also presents: One of the very #*very* rare occasions when Ford and Bill could be united against a common target #And that's always fun!

Saw this post and got inspired to find some numbers

On AO3 there are 315 fics tagged Ashton/Orym

Of those 315, 186 are tagged 'other' (59%). Of those 186, 62 are also tagged as m/m (33% of fics tagged other, 19% total). And from what I can tell, of those 62 only 19 of those fics have another m/m relationship (30% of fics tagged other and f/m, 10% of fics only tagged other, 6% total fics)

On the Callowmoore side, there are 108 fics tagged Ashton/Fearne

Of those 108, 67 are tagged as 'other' (62%). Of those 67, 8 are also tagged as f/m (11% of fics tagged other, 7% total). And from what I can tell, of those 8 only 3 have another f/m relationship tagged (37.5% fics tagged other and f/m, 4% of fics tagged other, and 2% total fics)

So in conclusion, callowmoore writers are more likely to tag their work as other, and less likely to tag both other and f/m than ashrym writers are likely to tag as both other and m/m

Feel free to check my math/numbers, I just thought it was interesting to point out

#critical role #callowmoore #ashrym #this is nothing against either side btw i just find numbers and statistics interesting #also feel free to extrapolate on why this happens if you want i have my own theories but i didnt wanna put them in the numbers post #ashton greymoore #< only tagging him bc hes the shared character here LMAO #yes i used the phrase 'of those' a lot i couldnt think of anything else #if any of this isnt comprehensible lmk i'll try to make it better

a french SMM player finally beat the illegitimately-uploaded "final" level (but disqualified once it was revealed by the creator to have been uploaded via TAS) of super mario maker yesterday (twitter clip and twitch), meaning there's no doubt now that team 0% reached their goal of clearing every single non-hacked level upload in the entire SMM1 game

#words and things #super mario maker #just an update for people who were casually following this like me lol #also if you arent familiar. yes hacked is different from TAS #TAS's are theoretically possible but often statistically impossible for a human to do. because they are done by a human #but essentially in slow mo with infinite retakes (vastly oversimplifying). hence their disqualification since they ARE cheated #hacked can just be total bullshit #not that there aren't hacked levels which are way easier than some theoretical TAS levels (not these lmao) #my understanding is also that when they found a hacked level they tried to either get it taken down or hacked a clear on it. fairs fair

it rly is like this w me

#my gdocs is where dreams go to die and my onedrive is the cemetery of ages #its not all bad. my sherlock output for 2012 was i assume curtailed by god #but just know if u see me posting about smth and go ‘did niko ever write for that?’ statistically yes #my output is insane my finish rate is miserable #dot txt #my writing

I’ve had a post go moderately viral, oh God

but I will say I’ve been scrolling through the replies/reblogs to this and it is F A S C I N A T I N G to see how many people use it to complain about the way others have behaved toward them without once examining how they in turn have behaved.

Thinking of yourself as primarily the victim of other people’s unkindness is treating yourself as a character (albeit a main character) and that might be the most fucked up thing of all.

#that post is not for people to think ‘yeah! right!’ #it’s a post for people to think ‘oh no’ #and yes of course OF COURSE many people have been treated badly by others #but statistically speaking — just STATISTICALLY — half of you are uhhh more sinning than sinned against #let's put it that way #and let me also be clear: I include myself in the 'more sinning than sinned against' half #I have treated so many people in my life like they were just supporting characters #and very few people have treated me that way (at least that I've noticed) #and although I hope sincerely that I've never put a character's nonexistent feelings above a person's I can't guarantee it #so this is not a wagging finger sort of thing #this is a 'damn shit's messed up' sort of observation #but there are a LOT of responses mad at me for not being clearer #which indicates that at least a few of them are hit dogs hollering #so here you go: clarity motherfuckers
