There is something so special to me about how everyone else in this picture is striking a fancy pose n shit and then there’s Tal and Travis dead in the middle both just kinda. standing there. (Menacingly, one might say)

I AM NOW THE PROUD OWNER OF A 400-PAGE LONG BOOK OF ACADEMIC ANALYSIS ABOUT MDZS (both the novel and CQL, as well as the wider danmei sphere, internet authorship, fan reactions in both CN and non-CN spheres, and so many more interesting things – there are photos of the contents list below) >:DDDD

I only got it this afternoon so have only read the (quite long?) excerpt available online and pages I came across while flipping through, but everything I've read so far is really interesting and well-written. If you're interested, it's promoted on the blog of @pumpkinpaix, where there are also chapter spotlights with comments from authors of each paper/chapter about them and about MDZS in general (which is how I found out about it, one came up in tumblr's 'based on this tag you follow...' recommendation), as well as FAQs (including where to buy it, though I did link that at the start). Alternatively, all posts about it are in the tag #catching chen qing ling!

I really recommend it, especially if content about MDZS interests you! and I promise I haven't been told to advertise this it's just something so so cool... a collection of academic work about MY FAVOURITE BOOK... and I know people do follow me for meta/analysis so this might be the sort of thing people looking at this blog will be interested in..?

IMP-o-Graph: Color Perception and Imps

Receiving an Imp properly can make or break a party when it comes to long distance communications-make sure you don't miss a single letter or package by following this helpful advice.

Kitty inflation is through the roof! All these snoozers and kitties are way more expensive than they were a few mere weeks ago! Thoughts?

Mace Windu would've fucking loved graph theory. Legitimately. Math nerd in a modern AU. he's obsessed with finding graphs with higher toughness. he's gonna find a graph of toughness 3 if it kills him.

Alternatively he can be the Václav Chvátal of his world and introduce the concept itself

Say what you want about the downsides of having a lot of followers on Tumblr but one cool thing about it is that sometimes I can see a lots-of-notes-worthy post with only a few notes on it and just go "is anyone else gonna bring this to the masses" and not wait for an answer

A map of every single band on the Metal Archives as of March 1st of this year, using the same dataset I used for this site. Each individual dot represents a single band, and each line indicates that two bands have a member in common.

A closeup, showing the lines in a bit more detail.

There are around 177k bands on the Metal Archives, and, of them, about two-thirds can be connected to one another by common members.

Apologies to the several hundred people who filled out the survey expecting to hear something about the results of said survey. I really do want to start analyzing and posting about the results, and I fully intend for that to happen, it's just taking a lot longer than expected due to mental health and executive dysfunction reasons. Sorry for the wait but I promise the graphs are gonna look soooo cool when I finally post them it will be 100% worth it
