#buddie graph

[jackwhiteprophetic]

graph (tracking how often Buck and Eddie say each others' names) is NOW UPDATED TO INCLUDE 8a!!!!

(CLICK FOR QUALITY)

[littlespoonevan]

i still find it absolutely Hysterical that the episode where eddie says buck's name the most is the one where buck literally dies and eddie's trying to save his life but the episode where buck says eddie's name the most is the one where he realises he likes men askdjfhsh

[bibuckagenda]

Ravi “who’s Tommy?” Panikkar meeting Tommy for the first time and he asks him if it’s weird being eddie’s friend and dating Buck since they’re divorced.

there's a lot of things people blame for why fandoms feel like ghost towns these days, but no one's really talked about the way discord's contributing to it

[spacealiencafe]

one thing I like about my migraine tracker app is that when you record an attack, it asks you which out of a list of possible remedies you’ve tried. and often times ill go through the list like “oh no i haven’t tried that. but i should” and sometimes it actually helps. it’s a nice feature for a forgetful bitch

[lover-of-mine]

Team, darling, thank you for suggesting a graph because seeing this was CRAZY, the way it goes down and then suddenly shoots up dude. Buddie is going canon, math doesn't lie.

Okay, so, I was talking to @the-tomorrow-road about this and then I got curious, so now you get stats. So, made a buddie supercut to make it easier for me to make videos, for reference my criteria was if a scene is about them I keep the whole scene, if the scene is not about them, they are just standing next to each other and not really interacting, I cut around them to just keep the moments they are in frame together, firefam scenes ended up staying in full because they usually react to each other even if they are not standing together. Season 2 has 1h23m26s, season 3 has 1h24m38s, season 4 has 01h08m31s (this one includes the crossover), season 5 has 53m19s, season 6 has 57m09s, and season 7 has 56m14s. 2a has 58m44s while 2b has 24m41s, which is kinda crazy, but under pressure kinda messes with the balance, and all of their scenes during the earthquake pretty much involve each other, but 2a has 9 episodes with buddie scenes, so averaging at around 6 and half minutes per episode, 2b has 7 averaging out at around a little over 3 minutes per episode, 3a has 47m18s and 3b has 37m19s, 3a has 9 episodes, so around 5 minutes per episode, 3b has 7, also around 5 minutes per episode, 4a has 41m49s while 4b has 26m 42m which is kinda crazy considering the shooting, but 4a (and crossover) has 9 episodes and 4b has 6 and both average out at a little over 4 minutes per episode, 5a has 33m46s while 5b has 19m33 seconds, 5a has 9 episodes so an average of a little over 3 and a half minutes, while 5b has 6 episodes so it averages out at around 4 minutes, 6a has 21m29s and 6b has 35m40s, 6a has 8 episodes with a 2 and half minutes average where 6b has 9 with an almost 4 minutes average, 7a has 31m22s and 7b has 24m52s, 7a has 5 episodes and 7b has 4 episodes and both average out at a little over 6 minutes. All seasons give me 6h43m19s and an average of around 4 and a half minutes of screentime per episode. Another stat is that s4 is the only season where every episode has at least one scene where they are standing in frame together. But the crazy thing here is that their average per episode went up a whole minute during season 7. In a reduced season. Where both of them were in relationships with other people through most of it. Math doesn't lie, dude, season 7 is buddie's lol (Also, considering the drop during 2b and the way that's the season Shannon is around, and the way the average doesn't drop when they are in relationships after that, sure there are other stuff happening for both of them but they cut their time in half then suddenly during s3 it was back to 5 minutes, mathematically I can make an argument that Buck has been filling Shannon's space in Eddie's life the whole time, which, we know, but math)

Bonus statistics: the Really Funny Graph Awards

As I've pointed out before, it's often hard to notice voter fraud— even in large quantities— if you can't see, not just how many votes came in, but when and in what patterns. Accusations of fraud don't track fraud, they track controversy; the most fraud often happens in polls that nobody particularly objects to, because nobody was paying attention.

Unless you have a graph in front of you. Fortunately, we do! So here's a brief review of the graphs that made it very, very clear to the mod team group chat that someone was playing silly buggers.

Round 1:

Davekat vs Zolu would almost even look natural, if it weren't for that enormous spike at the day 4 mark. But what a spike! And Akeshu vs Supercorp has those spikes in the middle, but the beginning stages of the graph look maybe fine... if you weren't watching for the first two days, and didn't get to see the progression:

Round 2:

This, on the other hand, couldn't be mistaken for natural by anyone. Look at this nonsense. The stairstep lines! The sharpness of the peaks! The sharpness of the dropoffs, which is how you can tell that this isn't just the poll being reblogged by large accounts, it is one person putting in truly insane amounts of effort! The fraud continuing long after Hualian had a significant lead, apparently just to make sure Buddie couldn't possibly launch a counteroffensive! Isn't it beautiful!

Round 4-5:

And once again, Hualian voters— or, well, some particular Hualian voter— goes nuts. Usually in 1-day polls, the votes come in fast enough that even with a graph it's hard to see if anything's gone wonky. Not so here; that bend in both graphs at around the same time, where I can only assume our frauder stopped for the night and went to bed, is a work of art.

Round 6:

No visible irregularities in the graphs (I assume they were just happy with getting to the semifinals?) but I did see this ask pop up:

I didn't see responses from anyone who took them up on it.

Real talk: This sort of thing is the reason I run poll brackets. This is proof that one person with insane dedication and a lot of time really can be the backbone of a fandom. This is, and I know this is melodramatic but I am being entirely sincere here, a chart of human passion.

Davekat, Akeshu, and especially Hualian— someone loves you very, very much.

[jackwhiteprophetic]

GRAPH IS COMPLETE!!! (Showing the frequency that Buck and Eddie say each others' names)

This one has the rest of the season 7 data, some corrected stuff and some added statistics for everyone because we all love statistics (I did this instead of revising for my actual statistics exam but if the a level paper is 9-1-1 based I will be all set). I have another graph coming but it's talking longer to track and I have exams so it'll be a while. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns!!!

[doubleca5t]

Okay idk if I’m just imagining it but I remember at one point you made a graph of queerbaiting enjoyability where the x axis was how overt it was and the y axis is how enjoyable it was and it was like a bell curve where after a certain point the ship is so overt that it’s actually painful that it’s not canon. I need to find this again because my dumb ass keeps thinking abt it

Right here buddy

Hartnell fact time again? Hartnell fact time again!

We have a pretty spot-on timeline of the last few months of John Hartnell's life thanks to Hartnell's Time Machine—which is to say, his nails.

These three graphs show the amount of copper, zinc, and lead in John's system from the time the Expedition was in Greenland to his death on January 4th, 1846. It's how we know he had a critical zinc deficiency, and it shows how the concentration of led in his body was higher when he was in England, and lower as the Expedition progressed.

Incredibly, because of this study, we can nearly tell the exact date John started to get sick—November 17th, 1845. There are brief spikes in copper and zinc (and a wee bit of lead) in early December—possibly due to applications of medicine and food as someone tried to help him get well. The final, massive spike at the end is his body breaking itself down, trying to find any and all nourishment to prolong its life as long as it could. We know from Inglefield & Sutherland's examination that they were able to identify a "wasting illness" when they felt his body, and Beattie's team in 1986 found no content in his stomach or bowels, so he hadn't eaten anything for some time before his death.

Unless we had a literal time machine, we don't know what his last days were like. This study, though, manages to give us a better idea of what might have happened.

We know his zinc deficiency was pronounced, so he probably would have had symptoms like night blindness, loss of appetite, exhaustion, irritability, hair loss, slow wound healing, and GI issues like loose stool (sorry buddy). We also know from his x-rays that he had prior injuries to his neck, shoulders, and ankles. Some were older injuries, some were newer. It's entirely possible that his symptoms of zinc deficiency and TB lowered his lack of awareness, leading to workplace injuries.

I know I kind of tease about John "Glass Bones and Paper Skin" Hartnell, but I'm fully aware that the last months, weeks, and days of his life were truly miserable. He was most definitely in pain, batting a thousand against a body that was fighting itself and trying to win.

Maybe people around him—crewmates he'd known from his time on the Volage, his own family—noticed a change in his personality. Maybe they saw the exhaustion on his face, him wincing in pain when he moved the wrong way, pushing food around his plate with disinterest, maybe he snapped at them or said something uncharacteristic that set off alarm bells. Someone, somewhere, knew something was wrong. At some point around late November and early December, he started getting treatment. By then, though, it was far too late.

It's a creative exercise more than anything. Like I said, we can't know what the end of his life look like. We have to take scans of his nails, x-rays, and the appearance of a thrice-exhumed mummy to guess. But we also can see that someone loved him enough to give him the appearance in death of being comfortable. Knowing what we do know about how much discomfort he had to be in, this might have been completely intentional. He was given a pillow, blankets, extra clothes, a hat. Even at the end of the world, he was loved.

SLIMEWASHING! (mouthwashing X slime ranchers!)

au info below the cut!!

the tulpar ended up crashing on the far far range, where in the dead of night, the crew was found by beatrix. after some help from mostly thora, the crew was given new clothes and- after contacting 7Zee corp to figure out what to do, made offical members of 7Zee on the range! Curly was given proper bed rest and thanks to help from victor with skin graphs and technology- is too able to help out. that is a wig btw. mochi, ogden, victor, and even hobsin all came to the ranch with thora to help beatrix- given she was crying and panicking. (bea sewn the 7Z symbol into all of their shirts herself!) roles!! Beatrix - the range leader. despite being the youngest, she's also the scariest. she and anya have a close bond, and she gets along with everyone besides jimmy. Anya - beatrix's exploring buddy. she was given bea's old coat, and with some new stitching up- is as good as new! she acompanies beatrix when she ventures out, and the two for the most part are very close. shes also friends with thora, mochi, victor and ogden. Daisuke - errand boy! his shirt was an old shirt of hobsin's- and he found the flower for his hair. he's sent by beatrix to go collect stuff and do chores- but he's really treating this like one big vacation. he's actually caught a lucky slime before- he gets along well with bea and ogden! Swansea - feeder. his shirt was actually a very very oversized sleep shirt of beatrix's- only thing she had on hand. he's in charge of feeding the slimes. and keeping jimmy in check. ogden has forced him to be his best friend. curly - explorer! his shirt was actually hand sewn by thora for bea a while back- tangle slime themed! after he was helped mostly heal up, he was tasked to become familiar with the far far range. he has mixed feelings about jimmy after everything- cant bring himself to hate him, even if he wants to. beatrix is his current biggest supporter, and mochi exclusivly calls him "burnt fry". Jimmy - janitor. his shirt was just a old worn down shirt for employees. he's monitored by swansea and is the rancher's one man clean up crew. no one there likes him- ogden had to be held back from murdering him. the only reason beatrix is keeping him around is so 7Zee can arrest him the next time they drop off cargo. (which might be a while due to another fireplort + boomplort incident.. might as well make him useful!) relationship charts bea! anya - very friendly! swansea - friendly! curly - friendly! daisuke - friendly! jimmy - very unfriendly. mochi! anya - friendly! swansea - friendly! curly - ..confusing? (she calls him burnt fry) daisuke - friendly! jimmy - very unfriendly. viktor! anya - friendly! swansea - friendly! curly - very friendly! daisuke - friendly! jimmy - very unfriendly. ogden! anya - very friendly! swansea - very friendly! curly - friendly! daisuke - friendly! jimmy - pure hatred. thora! anya - very friendly! swansea - friendly! curly - neutral daisuke - friendly! jimmy - very unfriendly. hobsin! anya - friendly! swansea - friendly! curly - friendly! daisuke - friendly! jimmy - very unfriendly. anya! bea - very friendly!/trusted! mochi - friendly! ogden - friendly! viktor - neutral (shes scared of him) thora - friendly! hobsin - friendly! swansea! bea - friendly! mochi - friendly! ogden - very friendly! viktor - neutral thora - friendly! hobsin - friendly! curly! bea - very friendly!/trusted! mochi - neutral (doesnt like being called burnt fry) ogden - friendly? (hes lowk scared of him) viktor - neutral (VERY afraid) thora - neutral! hobsin - friendly! daisuke! bea - very friendly! mochi - very friendly! ogden - very friendly! viktor - very friendly! thora - very friendly! hobsin - very friendly! jimmy. bea - very unfriendly. mochi - very unfriendly. ogden - very unfriendly/fear. viktor - very unfriendly. thora - very unfriendly. hobsin - very unfriendly.

Just graduated, and I’ve been dragging myself by my hair through the last 4 years. here’s advice if you’re new to college:

Basic advice:

Make friends in your lectures. You will know some of those people all four years, and some of them are better at this than you. You’re still capable, but there’s always a bigger fish and you should make that fish into a study buddy

Get a job at a food court/ campus restaurant. You get a free meal, which might be your only one for the day if you don’t have a meal plan. Work can also be a mental break from academics.

Abuse office hours. Annoy your TA. make them scared to see you. TA’s are tired grad students and you won’t have a formal relationship with them: they are students too.

Study advice:

Flash cards are for review and rote learning only. 15-30 minute power review sessions for things you already know. If you’re going over familiar shit, do it in short, repetitive bursts.

Be the bitch with annoying decorative notes. Make it a game, it’ll force you to look at the material more. I will say though, make sure you decorate with purpose.

Those friends you made in lecture? That’s where you get the big studying done. If you’re going for a higher 4 hour long study sesh, bring other people. They know things you don’t and vice versa, so you can fill in the gaps for each other. This type of studying is for unfamiliar or confusing material.

Big study sessions usually only happen a couple weeks out from exams at most. Before exams, your homework is your main means of studying.

Just go to the lecture. I don’t care if it’s at 7:30 am, go. Participation points could be the difference between a B and a C.

TI-84 graphing calculator

Pub chem

If a professor, for some ungodly reason, says you aren’t allowed to work on the homework with other people, fuck that guy.

Your $168.99 textbook is likely a free PDF online.

Date someone who fills in your gaps. I dated an engineer I met in a physics class and it worked beautifully.

Mental health (my advice on this is very specific):

Basic advice: drink water regularly, eat vegetables, exercise. You know all this.

Stay far, far away from any substance called a “study buddy” or something like that

Get a hobby. Actually. Something to do in your free time to keep you from going insane. I personally like knitting and drawing, but it can be anything. I’d say avoid something involving technology because it’s easy to fall into that for hours at a time. Do something that engages your hands and your brain. You might not be creative, but creativity is good for you. Your painting looks like shit? The benefits you have reaped from its creation are the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Good job.

If you are having any kind of hallucination (visual, auditory, presence, etc.), seek professional help immediately. I have lived half my life with the feeling of eyes on me and the presence of people who aren’t actually there and never tried to fix it because I could “work around it.” Just go get help. Hallucinations can also be a symptom of neurological issues and physical illness.

OCD and disorders involving psychosis are aggravated by stress. Your classes will stress you out. Disorders like this are scary and debilitating, so you absolutely need to be in therapy, possibly on medication. They also tend to be episodic, so you may have periods of recovery where your life quality improves. Do NOT be fooled: you still need to be in therapy even if you feel good. Preventative measures are the best measures!!

Social:

Get a job. Work friends are funnier and way more entertaining than any other kind of friend

I recommend a group of 2-4 people you chill with regularly. Movie night with them once a week (barring exam weeks and extenuating circumstances)

Talk with your roommates at least occasionally. It’s no fun living with total strangers.

Do not start smoking cigarettes. A lot of people are repulsed by the smell and it clings to you.

Hygiene. Mainly you should smell good. You don’t have to go crazy with an expensive perfume/ cologne, but shower and always have a decent scent. Also try not to wear stained clothes.

Not sure how useful this is, but it’s the first thing I could think of. I’ll come back and edit if I think of more.

She and Ayda both have Tumblrs (lord knows how Ayda found it but she's pleased bein here with all the other ND folk) and turns out Adaine and Ayda have actually been talking to each other for years and had no idea because ✨online anonymity✨

I know in fhsy it was established that adaine has no social media presence, but I think it would be pretty likely that adaine would use tumblr. you think adaine abernant is normal about characters online? think again
