visuals i made for a real actual paper i wrote for my sociology class that my professor will be reading

[image ids: the first image is a black and white drawing of Ingo and Emmet, from some time after Ingo disappeared. They both look neutrally forwards. Ingo is bedraggled per usual in Hisui, and Emmet looks tired. To either side of them are triangles emphasizing what shape their goatee is.

The second image is a photo of a salt and pepper shaker. The Submas Sideburns are drawn on top of them.

The third image is an edit of Shrek. He gestures at Donkey, saying, "submas fandom is like onions. submas fandom has layers, onions have layers... you get it? we both have layers."

The final image is an edit of the Marge potato meme. She holds Ingo and Emmet up, saying "I just think they're neat!" End id]

#lemon yemon #subway boss ingo #subway boss emmet #submas #fucking thrilled at how this paper came out #its about subcultures :) and how could i do anything but choose the submas fandom #im so sad i couldnt include more fanart in my visuals #(all credited ofc i cite my sources)#if i had more time to do it id have *such* a long section for symbols #just bc id give a bunch of examples for every symbol i mentioned #id also 100% do an analysis on ao3 fics so i could make a super fancy graphs that charts generally how popular the fandom was #at any specific point in time #so i can know with certainty if the fandom is growing or shrinking (which is a question i had to answer in the paper)#ofc it wouldnt be perfect bc sometimes people just have more or less time to write but yk still interesting !!#also i thought of saltmas like. a week ago. whodathunk itd come in handy for my sociology class

Murderbot mentions wanting to listen to music in the field but I’m not sure it ever mentions it again? What kind of music does murderbot listen to? (ASR, Pg 9)

#murderbot diaries #the murderbot diaries #tmbd #all systems red #i want to know your Opinions #I wonder if that person who does all the graphs and stuff for Murderbot has done an analysis on music

A while back, when there was concurrent ship discourse on Twitter and Tumblr, I started looking at the AO3 statistics for OFMD to get a sense of what the actual proportions are of different ships. The basic stats are pretty clear from the sorting sidebar:

Blackbeard | Edward Teach/Stede Bonnet (12321)

Blackbeard | Edward Teach/Israel Hands (2269)

Black Pete/Lucius Spriggs (1561)

Blackbeard | Edward Teach/Stede Bonnet/Israel Hands (1411)

Oluwande Boodhari/Jim Jimenez (1394)

Stede Bonnet/Israel Hands (976)

Israel Hands/Lucius Spriggs (839)

Blackbeard | Edward Teach & Israel Hands (677)

Israel Hands/"Calico" Jack Rackham (474)

Minor or Background Relationships (283) (label not appearing in pie chart)

However! There's a significant amount of overlap with some of these. Pete/Lucius and Jim/Olu are common side ships to Ed/Stede, for instance - 327 fics are tagged with only Ed/Stede and Pete/Lucius (23% of the Pete/Lucius tag), 195 fics are tagged with only Ed/Stede and Olu/Jim (14% of the Olu/Jim tag), and 749 fics are tagged with Ed/Stede, Pete/Lucius, and Olu/Jim (48% of the Pete/Lucius tag and 54% of the Olu/Jim tag).

It's also common for fics with Ed/Stede/Izzy to tag one or more of the two-person ships that make up the triad - 378 (27% of the Steddyhands total) include all four ships, and each of the side ships have 600-700 fics that overlap with Steddyhands in some way. As best as I can tell from careful inclusions and exclusions in the filters, there are 11,106 fics that are just Ed/Stede and not the other three, 1,113 that are just Ed/Izzy, 456 that are just Ed/Stede/Izzy, and 248 that are just Stede/Izzy.

So then I went in and tried to find the data for fics with each of the ships as the only pairing out of the group (italics indicate that the label wouldn't generate because the slice was so small, but this is the order they appear in in the chart):

Blackbeard | Edward Teach/Stede Bonnet (9294)

Blackbeard | Edward Teach/Israel Hands (898)

Black Pete/Lucius Spriggs (214)

Blackbeard | Edward Teach/Stede Bonnet/Israel Hands (426)

Oluwande Boodhari/Jim Jimenez (320)

Stede Bonnet/Israel Hands (236)

Israel Hands/Lucius Spriggs (411)

Blackbeard | Edward Teach & Israel Hands (160)

Israel Hands/"Calico" Jack Rackham (279)

Minor or Background Relationships (31)

This isn't perfect - there's no way to filter main vs. background ships, so there's no way for me to differentiate between an Ed/Stede fic with Lucius/Pete and Olu/Jim tagged for background mentions and an Olu/Jim fic with Lucius Pete and Ed/Stede tagged for background mentions; there are also even smaller ships that come into play once I cropped out the heavy hitters. However, I think this data gives a clearer picture of authorial priorities on AO3.

#ofmd #our flag means death #ao3 #data analysis #I don't really have a point to make #I just think it's neat #okay maybe there's a little bit of a point #I used to get concerned about Izzy ships being in the upper tiers of popularity #but then I realized what a huge leap there is between Ed/Stede and everything else #when you refine the data for the last graph the Izzy ships do gain ground compared to Pucius and Tealoranges #but Ed/Stede gets even more overwhelming #the gentlebeard juggernaut cannot be stopped

I'm tagging this as jumblr bc i trust the jews to help me with my jewish polls! im currently stuck on analyzing the data on these polls because i need to compare the two and they have wildly different sample sizes. I am not explaining what i was doing here until i have all my data analysis done bc i would like to know if the results are significant or not first.

anyway if anyone has a good method of comparing 2 surveys with different sample sizes and determining if results are statistically significant please let me know! i have a few ideas but i definitely need second opinions bc i have not done stats in a hot fucking minute. the main problems I have are 1) different sample sizes and 2) most methods i find are for experimental data, not nonexperimental.

in short i want to compare the data from each individual poll button (which all correlate with each other) while also factoring in the differing sample sizes. it would also be helpful if the method was good with percentages. i really really fucking hate stats however i refuse to just treat 2 different sample sizes the same bc that would probably kill me.

i also have limited tools at my disposal. i have a shitty old laptop and an even shittier older ti-84. they can do a lot bc i bully them into submission regularly but these things are not fancy whatsoever and they have limits and they express those limits frequently

#jewish #jumblr #please help #i know what im doing but not enough #every analysis method ive seen i think is ok has some glaring issue #ill ofc just graph some shit too and some more simple analysis #but. i need it. the data analysis. where would my poor soul be without that

Sigma theory through a mathematical lens

Bc yk their name's Sigma

(not scary I promise. I hope)

In mathematics the Greek letter sigma (σ) is often used as a variable. Uppercase sigma (Σ) is used as an operator for summation.

Now let's get into bsd real quick (beast spoilers ahead). If what Fyodor said was true, then Sigma was written into the main universe. Thanks to beastzai, we also know that there's an infinite number of possible worlds.

So, combining maths and the information about the Book, we can treat the possible versions of Sigma as variables and call them σ. In a function, each variable has its value, so in that case it'd be Sigma's traits, things they did, what happened to them, etc, in the given universe. The function would look like that:

σ - Sigma variant

f(σ) - what happens to the relevant Sigma σ

I'll take Akutagawa as an example bc it's easier to explain:

Akutagawa from the main universe is in the PM, but Beast!Akutagawa is in the ADA.

x -the variable, Akutagawa's variant (for Sigma it's σ)

f(x) - he's in the PM / ADA

f(x₁)=PM, f(x₂)=ADA

Sigma is either a function just like above or the sum of all the sequence elements (that can also be called σ) in a sequence.

My interpretations:

Sigma - as a variable or a sequence element - can choose what value they want to have, that is what they'll do in the main bsd world (for example the action from σ₁, σ₂ or σ₄₀₀₀₀'s world). For someone who's being manipulated this is crucial, especially in the current chapters.

I don't mean that Sigma is doing all those things consciously, but rather that it's their nature or some sort of "power" given to them by the Book's words. That way they may contradict what was written in the Book regarding them.

That would even deepen the inconsistency and lack of stability they feel, since their identity is constantly changing.

I don't actually believe Sigma was put in the main bsd world from another universe / written in, I prefer the theory that they have amnesia / memory loss. But what I wrote would still makes sense in such case.

Now I know this probably isn't what Asagiri has planned for Sigma but even so it's cool. You can treat it as an alternative interpretation of their character 💪🏻

#i hope i didnt mess the maths terms up since I had to Google how are they called in English #and i hope logically everything makes sense too #it's been sitting in my drafts for months now #I even wanted to draw a graph #sigma bsd #bsd sigma #bsd theory #I have to thank my father for giving me inspiration for this #bsd #bungou stray dogs #bsd analysis #sigma bungou stray dogs #maths ppl and non maths ppl tell me if u get me

A lot of Batfamily fans like fan content which dives into the trauma of some of them being siblings with people that have tried to kill them. While they aren't wrong, I would posit that they need more fan content which addresses the real issue here: the Batkids should absolutely make fun of those of them that failed at murdering one (or more) of the others.

I'm just saying, if my sibling failed at killing me or another relative, I would mock them about that until one of us died for real. I would give them birthday cards talking about how they truly put the 'attempted' in 'attempted fratricide'. I would ask them if they remembered their cringefail murder skills. I would bring that up at the slightest provocation. Anytime they got annoyed at me for something, I would be like, "What are you going to do, kill me? It's not like you're any good at it!"

#not my usual content #but it needs to be said #I have determined this after an in-depth survey of batfam fandom trends which is definitely for the love of genre and not for data analysis #[Scrambles to close suspiciously graph-looking windows on my computer.]#batfam #batman #dc universe #comics #superhero genre #siblings

Still waiting for Spotify and YouTube to update their charts later today but Google has already come through with some beautiful data for a certain eclipse themed song we all know and love during the total solar eclipse we had in the USA on Monday, April 8, 2024...

https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=now%201-d&geo=US&q=%2Fg%2F1q5jzj36p,%2Fg%2F1q5j2__98,%2Fg%2F11bzvv1522,%2Fm%2F01qdc_p&hl=en

Look at the time of peak searches. And also note the path of searches on the map...

Map - http://www.nationaleclipse.com

So then I decided to compare with a few top eclipse anthem contenders to see who won the battle. Bonnie blew them all away.

Dark Side of the Moon came in #2 in comparison, followed by #3 Black Hole Sun and #4 Here Comes the Sun. None of them really dominated any city on the map over Bonnie.

Other potential eclipse anthems I checked that rated lower than the Beatles to the 4 listed above: Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel, Steal My Sunshine by Len, Total Eclipse by Iron Maiden, Dark of the Sun by Tom Petty, Promises in the Dark by Pat Benetar, Dancing in the Dark by Bruce Springsteen, Blinded by the Light cover by Bruce Springsteen (would be #5, this version was also more popular than the Manfred Mann's Earth Band version), Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone by Bill Withers and the individual song Eclipse by Pink Floyd specifically (the album ranked higher). I'm sure I'm missing some but these were at the top of multiple eclipse themed playlists I consulted.

I'm also not sure exactly how many searches this graph corresponds to yet, but I'm sure we'll get recap articles that might have numbers. From a different Google data product, it looks like over 200k searches were done for Total Eclipse of the Heart on Sunday, April 7th alone, the day before (still less than "how to make eclipse glasses" LOL).

Looking forward to Spotify's data. 🌞

Also fun to look at: comparing searches for this song over time with total US eclipses. Possible spikes due to eclipse interest would be 2012 (annular) and 2017 (total) but the 2023 (annular) barely registered. The other spikes may be due to Bonnie performing it on TV (2005) and the TV show Glee covering it (2010).

I'll look at this more later.

But just for fun too, if you've never seen it, check out the Literal lyrics version for the original music video (it was insane, even for the 80's) https://youtu.be/fsgWUq0fdKk?si=CRXE_Zd86GpZa1yG

Every day I thank Beast for making what was an already complex and multilayered relationship an even more complex and multilayered relationship

The layers it adds to the sskk dynamics... How much they have in common... Helping to distinguish what of their behavior was shaped by their upbringing and what wasn't and instead is part of their nature... And most importantly how they would have literally loved each other if it hadn't been for the circumstances. They would have clicked at the first encounter. They would have affably chatted like they were longtime friends. They would have sympathized with the other and genuinely enjoyed the other's presence. AND ALL OF THIS IS CANON

Tbh I think Beast's main theme is that Atsushi and Akutagawa love each other and that any grudge they hold against the other is the consequence of the society they live in no I don't take criticism. What hits hardest - really, hardest - is the fact that even while fighting in Beast, they knew the other had no fault. They knew the other was just doing what they had to do, and it couldn't be any other way. They would have done the same thing in their place, and in a way they were doing exactly that, because their positions - fighting for their little sisters' lives - were nearly identical. As paradoxical as it may sound, even while fighting, they were sympathizing one with the other. The most beautiful yet cruel difference between Beast and canon is that while in canon they fight against each other because there's a difference in their ideals / goals, and can't understand the other's motivations, in Beast they do have such knowledge, they do understand and even go as far as to relate to the other's motivations, yet because of cruel fate they can't evade fighting - despite they would rather not to!!!! Despite actually saying they're sorry for what they're doing!!!! - because the circumstances compelled them to kill each other, a destiny they can't escape. And it's so tragic, and it's so beautiful, and it shows how deeply connected they are, and how much they're made for each other.

#Sskk brainrot at only 1:27 am cause I'm trying (and failing apparently) to go to sleep early tonight #atsushi nakajima #ryūnosuke akutagawa #sskk #bsd #bungou stray dogs #bsd beast #bsd analysis #paradoxical... Is that a word #It's commonly used in my language but it sounds quite gross in English 😔😔#mine #q.#While t/p/n was all about fighting / defeating destiny bsd is a lot about having a fixed fate and being unable to win one's destiny #and I think about that a lot #T/p/n and bsd are narrative opposites in ways I can never begin to tell.#I made a graph about it some time ago and it's a 1428×3750 long image lmao (it's a lot)#Edit: I feel like I'm mentioning t/p/n a lot these days.

After vaccines became available, a partisan gap in deaths emerged

Analysis by Philip Bump

There are times when correlation really seems as though it is obviously representative of causation. Some set of data lines up so neatly that it’s hard to escape reaching an obvious conclusion. This can be dangerous, certainly, but usually it’s simply because the data are causally related. A plus B seems to equal C because it does.

An example of this is the overlap of COVID-19 deaths since 2020 and partisanship. Last month, I reviewed the evolution of the pandemic, assessing where fatality from the virus was sharpest. Even in the era of omicron — a moment when we’re dealing with a less-deadly virus and have better vaccines and treatment to address it — there is a noticeable gap between Democratic- and Republican-voting places, just as there has been for months.

The word “places” is important there. What we could produce was analyses like the one below, showing how Florida and Ohio counties that voted for President Donald Trump in 2020 had higher rates of death, month after month, than ones that voted for Joe Biden. That didn’t necessarily mean that more Trump voters were dying, just that places where more of them lived saw higher fatality rates.

(In mid-2021, Florida briefly stopped reporting county-level death tolls.)

Why might it be the case that places with more Trump voters saw more deaths?

Well, we know that many of those who died of the virus last year were unvaccinated. The Kaiser Family Foundation estimates that about 234,000 deaths from June 2021 through March 2022 could have been prevented had the decedents been vaccinated against the virus. That protection, too, held into the omicron era.

We also know that Republicans were less likely to get vaccinated than Democrats. Republican officials often downplayed the utility of vaccination, responding to framing of the shots as an unnecessary intrusion from the government. Trump-voting counties were also more likely to seek alternative treatments for COVID, such as the drug ivermectin — treatments that were shown repeatedly not to be effective.

All of this, though, was correlation. We couldn’t say that more Republicans were dying, specifically, so the link to partisanship was indirect, however clearly rational an assumption it might have been.

Last month, though, the National Bureau of Economic Research published an important study from researchers affiliated with Yale University. They took 577,659 death records from Ohio and Florida between January 2018 and December 2021 and matched the decedents to a 2017 voter file. In other words, they were able to identify the partisanship not only of the places those people lived but of the people themselves.

What they found is that the rate of excess death — that is, deaths above the expected toll relative to the pre-pandemic baseline — was higher for Republicans, particularly after vaccines were rolled out.

“Registered Republicans in Florida and Ohio had higher excess death rates than registered Democrats, driven by a large mortality gap in the period after all adults were eligible for vaccines,” the researchers write. “These results adjust for county-by-age differences in excess deaths during the pandemic, suggesting that there were within-age-by-county differences in excess death associated with political party affiliation.”

You can see that on charts included in the report. Democrats and Republicans in Ohio and Florida died at higher rates than would have been expected based on 2018 patterns. But Republicans were much more likely to do so, particularly after the second dark, vertical line on the graph — the point at which all adults became eligible for vaccines.

In another chart, the point is made explicitly. Before the vaccines, the pattern of deaths during the pandemic looked the same for Democrats and Republicans, even in counties that would later have lower vaccination rates. Then, after vaccinations became available, the divergence emerged — and was much wider in counties with lower vaccination rates.

This is something else we knew, too: Counties that backed Trump more heavily in 2020 had lower vaccination rates. In other words, there was a separate correlation between vaccination rates and Trump support. If we separate out the counties in Ohio and Florida that backed Trump by a margin of at least 40 points and those that backed him by a narrower margin, we see another separation.

More-Trump-supportive places had higher death rates than less-Trump-supportive ones during peaks in the pandemic, and both had higher death rates than Biden-supportive ones.

“The results suggest that the well-documented differences in vaccination attitudes and reported uptake between Republicans and Democrats have already had serious consequences for the severity and trajectory of the pandemic in the United States,” the researchers conclude. “If these differences in vaccination by political party affiliation persist, then the higher excess death rate among Republicans is likely to continue through the subsequent stages of the COVID-19 pandemic” — exactly as we’ve seen in county voting data.

Sometimes correlation is causation.

i am here screaming crying throwing up because once again someone has told me that i have great potential and i feel like fraud because i am

a-not interested in putting in the work

and/or

b-simply lacking comprehension of some aspect(s) of the area

which means i somehow convinced these people im a natural when i have done nothing but stayed lazy and stupid

#physics and math teachers are always like #you have such great potential its a shame you dont want to pursue this #and i am immediately holding back tears #wasted potential is my biggest fear please stop saying shit like that to me it does not come off as ‘i believe in you’#gifted child #burnout #i promise im our here trying to understand wtf this graph analysis is i just #fuck man

Instances of Martha Wells differentiating between "humans" and "augmented humans" and the statistics of why it's done, in books 1-6, and both short stories.

[Plain text: "Instances of Martha Wells differentiating between "humans" and "augmented" humans and the percentages of why it's done in books 1-6, and both short stories.". End plain text.]

There's two pie charts now, one excluding only the instance where the word "Augmented" was used in the phrase "alien-augmented", which is not relevant, and one that excludes instances of Murderbot talking about impersonating an augmented human, which is also not relevant to the issue.

Here's the post that lists out all the instances.

If you're mad about me analyzing these books I like even when it's of Martha Wells doing bigoted shit instead of me just pretending everything is fine, go watch a Marvel movie instead. Or go watch Dora the Explora if you don't want to think about the media you consume in any way.

Chart 1, excluding only the instance of "alien-augmented", including all other instances of the word "augmented" from books 1-6, including both short stories, which did not mention the word at all.

Yes, this did take several hours of my life and I did it for free. You're welcome!

No I'm not going to type out yet another essay about why this is ableist as fuck on this post. go find my other ones. or practice your critical thinking skills.

[ID: An orange, blue, and red pie graph, titled, "Instances of Martha Wells differentiating between Humans and cyborgs (augmented humans) in books 1-6, because..."

The smallest section at 19.4% is orange, and reads, "Murderbot is impersonating a cyborg". This happens 31 times.

The second smallest section, at 24.4%, is blue, and reads, "The information is actually relevant to the situation". This happens 39 times.

The largest section, at 56.3%, is red, and reads, "She's literally just automatically excluding cyborgs, who are disabled people, from the category of human as a matter of course. This is never questioned or commented upon. You are not allowed to forget that cyborgs are not considered humans.". This happens 90 times.

End ID.]

[ID: A red and blue pie chart, titled, "Martha Wells differentiating between humans and cyborgs (augmented humans), excluding instances of Murderbot mentioning impersonating a cyborg, because..."

The smaller section, at 30.2% is blue, and reads, "The information is actually relevant to the situation.". This happens 39 times.

The larger section, at 69.8%, is red, and reads, "She's literally just decided to exclude cyborgs, AKA disabled people, from the category of human. This is not done to question the dehumanization of disabled people. It is not part of the plot at all. You are not supposed to question it. She just saw that it was a popular trope in scifi and decided to adopt it without actually using it the way it's intended -- to show that it's wrong. We're just supposed to accept that cyborgs (disabled people!) aren't human, without question or comment". This happens 90 times.

End ID.]

anyways. It is in fact your responsibility to criticize bigotry, even in series you enjoy.

Martha Wells saw scifi authors having it be part of the plot that cyborgs are seen as subhuman, and decided that was a cool idea, without actually understanding why the trope exists and what it's used for. She is not trying to question the idea that disabled people are less than human, she just thinks it's pretty set dressing that doesn't need to be questioned or confronted or explored.

This is ableism, and shitty, lazy writing, plain and simple.

If you do not want to confront bigotry through your stories, then don't fucking put bigotry in your stories! It's not fucking difficult! Do not just pick fucking tropes from dystopian novels like they're fucking decorations and then not actually put in the effort to confront their existence.

-----

Obligatory signature to ward off bigoted cowards and jackasses who are terrified and infuriated by the idea of admitting a thing they like isn't absolute perfection incarnate:

[ID: A blue banner with a black outline, and white text that reads, "Error-06210311-150606: I'm not interested in in-universe explanations you just pulled out of your ass to defend bigotry on the part of the real life author that you didn't even notice until I pointed it out to you." End ID.]

and don't even get me started on the way she demonized drug addicts and people who can't feel pain.
