there's just something about having a kid look up at you and talk about the seeds of your own dreams or ambitions like the tree has already grown and the fruit just needs to ripen and when it does, they'll be first in line for a bite.

i just think it'd be funny for Loki's magic to drained/blocked and 75% of the motor function in his arms/hands goes out with it. maybe he collapses because the magic is keeping him up and running. who knows.

Turnabout Titles

Got curious about how often people applied the “Turnabout” naming scheme to their AA fics, so I crunched a bunch of numbers on AA fics across Ao3 and FFN to find out (and also maybe got a bit carried away looking for patterns…)

What I found:

Overall, about 4% of AA fics on Ao3 and 13% of AA fics on FFN include “Turnabout” in the title

Longer fics were more likely to have “Turnabout” in the title than were shorter ones, with about 14% of 30k+ AA fics on Ao3 featuring it in the title, compared to only about 2% of sub-1k AA fics

“Turnabout” fics were disproportionately likely to be crossovers—about 19% of AA fics with “Turnabout” in the title were crossovers, compared to 5% of AA fics overall

And here’s a graph for good measure:

Method details and raw numbers below the cut

Method: For the Ao3 numbers, I searched for fics in the “逆転裁判 | Gyakuten Saiban | Ace Attorney” fandom, limiting the results to English-language fics only and excluding restricted works (although at a glance, the same patterns appear to hold among restricted works). For the FFN numbers, I searched for fics in the “Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney” fandom, filtered to English language only. Data collected 5/25/2024.

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 got a survey to fill out about my experience of antisemitism on my university campus and while i'm cool with sharing my opinion for data purposes (the results are all anonymized anyway) i wish there had been a field somewhere to clarify that my university has a vanishingly small jewish population (could probably be counted in the low teens, if even that high, in the entire university), absolutely zero jewish life on campus like hillel or chabad or even an interfaith club, and is, in terms of social/political climate, very out of the ordinary when it comes to the majority of american schools

Will you be leaving Tumblr?

Most likely.

From the looks of it, our data has already been compiled and will be handed over tomorrow (I don't have details, the article is locked behind an account creation pop-up) so there's little that can be done for what's already been posted.

I have very little faith that asking those giants to take out our data is going to lead anywhere. There is no obligation in the contract for them to do so.

And even if I were to opt-out, (if that's even going to work at all, remember how well "opting-out" of Tumblr Live worked?) do I really want to keep giving my engagement to a website that feels free to do that kind of scummy shit behind the backs of their userbase? No warning, no talks, no transparency at all? This sits really wrong with me.

So, unfortunately, I most likely will leave Tumblr.

Started reading Robert Cialdini's Influence: Science and Practice. And it's a book drawing on social science which was written before 2010, which has it on thin ice going in. And then in the first few pages it cites (1) a study by Dan Ariely and (2) that study about the copier.

Not off to a good start!

a cool fact about working in the pickup order department in the grocery store! sometimes, the program that you use to scan in items takes you through the raw meat department right before it takes you through produce. do you have time to wash your hands in between? nope!

are there gonna be any other sibling reunions in this verse or is it just gonna be nico siblings and asl?

the intention is to focus on nico siblings (any asl will be shoved to the background because they are not the focus of this, i'm just a sucker for ace&sabo)

i might just make a general sibling reunions fic for fun later though.

today in stats class, we took a survey on whether we preferred math or english classes more. there couldn't possibly be a sampling bias there.
