🐟To Catch a Fish🐟 (AO3 link)

Prince Sidon x fem!witch!reader Ac·ci·dent: an event that happens by chance or that is without apparent or deliberate cause. Example of usage: It was an accident that you speared the Zora Prince with your fishing hook. What happens next, though, is anything but. A story of drabletts, chapters, and whatever else it takes to build up your relationship with the sushi prince in a dignified and fluffy manner. Take a load off and stick around.

Sméagol living the dream

I love how happy he is at the forbidden pool before all goes sour. He's adorable. And there's something funny about the fact that he's singing his heart away, completely oblivious, while his life is at stake. How Faramir could even consider having his men shoot this poor, adorable, singing and dancing little guy is beyond me.

here is a concept: time travel cop, fish & wildlife division

most of their job is dealing with the kinds of assholes who think black market tiger cubs are a great idea right up until someone gets mauled, except these are even bigger assholes with black market Smilodon cubs that they are even less equipped to care for

this is the most straightforward and therefore relatively headache-free part of their job, because it’s the same “put that thing back where it came from or so help me” song and dance every time

it’s also significantly less depressing than the trophy hunters who don’t even want an alive extinct animal. those are extra annoying because you have to undo the time travel that let them kill that poor Megatherium or thylacine or anklyosaur or whatever, and it’s always so much extra paperwork.

and those people suck, definitely, and have fully earned a stint in Time Jail. no question. but they still do not create anywhere near as much work as the obsessive hobbyists with their exhaustively careful best practices and worryingly good track-covering. also, weirdly, it’s almost always birds with them?

like. the guys who will flagrantly abuse Time Law to bird-nap breeding pairs just long enough to raise one clutch of eggs apiece, and return them seamlessly to their spots on the timeline. who are so determined to keep their pet (ha) projects going that no one even realizes what they’re doing until they have an entire stable breeding population of passenger pigeons up and running. who are now the reason that reps from six different zoos are about to start throwing hands right in front of you over who gets dibs.

those guys cause the most paperwork. and half the time they’re snapped up by the same zoo or wildlife preserve that gets their colony of ivory-billed woodpeckers or Carolina parakeets or — once, very memorably — giant fucking South Island moa, and they never even spend a day in Time Jail.

#purely notional fiction #time travel #actually the tropical fish guys are probably even worse than the bird guys #but they keep a lower profile so they’re harder to catch #time cops: fish & wildlife

I was playing Animal Crossing and I went to catch a fish, my character caught a sea bass and said, "What the fuck," and I got so scared that I woke up.

Doing the maths: Grian's failure at getting a mending book

lots of talk about maths and probabilities below the cut! but there's a graph and simple explanation at the end if you want to get the gist of it and are bad at maths.

(I am still young and learning maths, critique/advice always welcomed)

What are the odds of getting a mending book in Minecraft?

(I am assuming Grian has been doing all his fishing with Luck of the Sea 3)

The probability of a mending book is actually a bit annoying to estimate. The Minecraft Wiki lists fishing up an enchanted book as 1.9% chance. This is for ANY enchanted book. The Minecraft wiki talks about how the chance of an enchantment being selected is calculated. Mending has a weight of 2. Using the table, mending has a probability of 2/135.

However, Grian is looking for any book with mending, not just a pure mending book. Additional enchantments are calculated in a different way, involving RNG, which means it won't be as easy to model. Due to this reason, I'll just be using the odds for a pure mending book throughout.

TLDR: a mending book has a 0.028..% chance (2/135*0.019*100)

Grian's Data

According to this screenshot, Grian has used a fishing rod 5679 times. This number may not be fully accurate, as it includes the times he's fished other players, rather than just fished for items, but it is a good estimate.

To help visualise this data, with a median waiting time between catches of 17.5 seconds, Grian has spent over 20 hours fishing so far! He may have a problem.

Is this statistically significant?

Hypothesis testing (p-value approach):

H0: p = 19/67500 (the null hypothesis - he has no mending books because of chance)

H1: p < 19/67500 (the alternate hypothesis - he has no mending books due to different odds)

5679 trials, 0 mending books

X ~ B(5679, 19/67500) (binomial distribution, 5679 tries with a probability of a mending book being 19/67500, where X is the number of mending books)

p(X=0) (what is the probability the number of mending books being 0)

p = 0.2021473392

Now, the point at which data becomes significant is subjective. For instance, you *could* get a million heads in a row flipping a coin, it's not impossible, but at a certain point, you can begin to say "okay there's something not normal about this". For this approach, the closer the p-value is to 0, the more evidence there is against the null hypothesis . The p-value here is far above a significance level of 0.01, or 0.05, or 0.1. There isn't a clear line between significant/non-significant, but this is answer is quite a bit far from 0

With this, I cannot reject the null hypothesis.

Personal conclusion: this is not statistically significant, Grian is just unlucky.

Are other values statistically significant?

Gem's proposed 9000: results in a p-value of 0.079... more significant than Grian's number but I don't imagine Mojang would be too concerned. As said though, it's all subjective.

I am bad at maths, what does all this mean?

Here is a graph, showing what number of mending books you might have after 5679 tries. The height of the bar represents the probability of getting that amount. The numbers at the top are the (rounded) numbers I used in my calculation

The pink column is 0 mending books - like what Grian has! As you can see, it is less likely than getting 1 or 2 books, but not too uncommon to happen.

End conclusion: Grian has bad luck. Like, not as hilariously bad as he thinks, but still bad. If he keeps going, chances are he will get a mending book, but I think he should probably stop fishing because at this point he has a problem.

#if you saw my last post no you didnt #<- misread “5679 fishing rods used” as having fully used up 5679 fishing rods #this is so much better written than my last post though. and i think the graph helps a lot #long post #locus fandom time #locus maths time #grian #hermitcraft #hermitblr #hermitcraft 10 #“why the p value approach” i missed the lesson for it so this is my catch up work unironically

hi! i know you've stepped away from 'to catch a fish' but i do just want you to know, that fic is one of the best fic ive ever read. every sentence i could imagine so vividly in my mind and each word captured my attention fully and left me at the edge of my seat! whether you ever return to it or not, thank you for writing such an amazing story! It inspires me to write my own stories to this day and I aspire to be as good of a writer as you are. I hope you're having/have had a good day :]

Hi! Thank you so much for this message! I'm glad TCaF inspires you to write, that's one of the best compliments a writer can receive imo!

I don't know when I'll return to it. I want to, I really want to finish it, but I always get overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of story I've got for it still. Plus, I've changed as a writer and as a person over the years; I don't feel as creative as I once was. It's part of the reason why I started writing my 150 Bullets story, to try and get back into writing!

Whether I finish it now or in 10 years, thank you for reading! This message means a lot to me <33

Waiting for some stuff to charge so I shall slowly catch up with updating my tumblr art posts😌

Tell me you’ve played over 400 hours of hades without telling me played over 400 hours 😬😬😬

My compulsion to add more was only stopped my my tears as I tried to draw all these details in on a 9x12 sheet of paper

Think I descended in madness when I couldn’t fit it in the mini print version and then broke down the image into 5 separate prints and spent forever patching the weird break off points. But just like the game I may love this print forever 😂😂

Bracing myself to experience it all again with hades 2🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

#hades game #hades supergiant #hades 2 #fanart #print #im in pain #does anyone else do that fishing thing where you only blink between dips because I’m obsessed with catching fish and refuse to miss any #copics #sloppybrush
