Healthcare can be expensive depending on the country you live in, but it is impossible to attain when you live in a country/place where no doctors can perform the procedures that you need. It may be due to lack of equipment, lack of specialized doctors, or no hospitals at all.

I am raising $ for my friend's mother Nabila @nabila60 This is urgent. Her life is at risk RIGHT NOW and we don't know how much longer she can hold on without treatment. If you answered this poll, please reblog it to reach more people. If you have ever had expensive hospital visits, please show sympathy to a mother who will die without treatment. You can save a life! Every donation counts.

Looking to add some small parts to the end of my queue!

I’ve sat down and catalogued my current fur and minky inventory into an easy to navigate spreadsheet that can be found in my linktree, if any of the colors I have would work for your design you would be eligible for a 15% discount!

My turnaround time is very quick for small parts, new projects would be added to the end of my queue (I’ve got two projects to finish up atm). If I have all the colors needed, your project would most likely be completed and shipped within a week of the start date. 📦💨

Thoughts on the patterns of who speaks the episode title phrases in Wolf 359

This analysis is based on the data I gathered in this spreadsheet and summarised with graphs in this post. Basically I've been looking at which character first says the episode title phrase (i.e. the exact words which form the name of that particular episode) in every episode of Wolf 359. Go and look at the spreadsheet if you want more context.

I think we can view the episode title phrases as often expressing the key problem or question of that episode. (I might talk about this in relation to individual examples another time.) Through this lens, the consideration of who speaks the title phrase is about which character gets to frame the key issue of the episode for the listener. This doesn't necessarily mean we are meant to share that character's view of the issue, but it's why I think there is some potentially significant analysis to be done on this topic. (See below the cut...)

The proportion of title phrases said by Eiffel reduces with each season. 69.2% of the Season 1 title phrases are (first) spoken by Eiffel, compared to 46.6% in Season 2, 22.2% in Season 3, and 20% in Season 4.

This is perhaps unsurprising. Eiffel is very much the main perspective character and the primary narrative voice at the start of the series. And, as someone with unusual speech patterns, he is excellent at coining a good memorable title phrase. However, while I'd argue that he never stops being the main protagonist, over the course of the series, the narrative focus broadens away from a singular emphasis on Eiffel's perspective. This perspective shift is reflected in episode titles being spoken by a greater range of characters.

I think the decreasing proportion of Eiffel title phrases also reflects the podcast's shift towards a generally more dramatic rather than comedic tone. While Eiffel is capable of being serious at times, I'd argue that his mode of speech is particularly well suited to generating amusing unusual turns of phrase that work well within a more comedic context (e.g. Succulent Rat-Killing Tar, What's Up Doc?, Bach to the Future). As the stakes become higher and the tone becomes less humorous, characters other than Eiffel, who are more often inclined to take things very seriously, are more likely to speak the title phrases.

There's also just the fact that as we get more characters involved in the action on the Hephaestus, the opportunity to speak the title phrase is spread between more characters.

Although Eiffel is by far and away the most common speaker of title phrases in Season 1, in the first three episodes of the whole show, we get all the characters of that season represented in the title phrases. Minkowski speaks the title phrase in the second episode and Hera does in the third episode - but probably quoting a phrase from Hilbert. This gives us a good early indication that, while Eiffel may be the focal point particularly in this season, this is going to be an ensemble show and all of these characters are going to be significant.

Hilbert's only title phrase is in Ep12 Deep Breaths, in the first stage of his mutiny, arguably the only point in the show where he appears to clearly have the upper hand while acting alone.

After the SI-5 are introduced at the beginning of Season 3, we get five Kepler or Jacobi title phrases in a row, which solidifies the SI-5's presence in the show. It also highlights the fact that the SI-5 have taken over the Hephaestus and are now (at least ostensibly) the ones determining the aims of the Hephaestus mission.

In addition, these patterns might be seen to reflect the shift in the show towards a more conflict-focused tone (related but not identical to the movement away from comedy). While Wolf 359 has always been a show full of conflict, the balance of this conflict shifts with the arrival of the SI-5. For the first team, our protagonists are facing a unified team of antagonists. The potential for violence feels higher, as do the stakes. This might explain why, while we only had one antagonist-spoken title phrase across Seasons 1 and 2 (Hilbert in Ep12 - Lovelace doesn't get a title phrase while she's serving as an antagonist), 44.4% of our Season 3 title phrases are first spoken by antagonists.

The only title phrase spoken by Maxwell is spoken by her in a recording that we hear after her death. This isn't even the only posthumous title phrase spoken from the past in Season 4 - we've got one from Commander Zhang of the Tiamat as well. It's an interesting kind of legacy, an interesting way to emphasize the questions characters leave behind after death, recalling similar themes to those explored in Ep46 Boléro.

A Year in Fanfiction 2024

Hello everyone! It’s the start of a new year, and with that comes new year’s resolutions!

I personally want to try to read more this year, both published books as well as fanfic. I finally made a goodreads account to keep track of my books and wanted a way to track my fanfiction reading too, so with the help of @kinglazrus, King of Spreadsheets, I present to you A Year in Fanfiction 2024: a combination google form and spreadsheet!

All you have to do is fill out the form…

And it automatically adds a new line to the spreadsheet and tallies how many fics and words you’ve read!

There’s a space for the title, author, fandoms, summary, characters, pairings, tags, as well as personal notes and a link to the fic, so you can easily find what you’re looking for, whether you read it on AO3, FFN, or tumblr!

If you’re trying to read more this year, still working your way through all the fics from the last fandom event *cough* @ecto-implosion *cough* shameless plug *cough*, want to make your own AO3 Wrapped at the end of the year, or just think it’s neat 🥔

Click here to make a copy of the spreadsheet

Click here to make a copy of the form  

The form is optional if you’d rather manually input the information into the spreadsheet. Just make sure that you put “Finished” in the Reading Status column, or the formula won’t add it to your word count tally.

If you want to use the spreadsheet and the form, read below the cut for instructions on how to link them.

There doesn’t seem to be a simple way to share them already linked, and there are a few quirks with setting this up, but it’s not difficult.

Step 1: go to the Responses tab of the form and click Link to Sheets.

Step 2: Click Select existing spreadsheet and find the copy you saved of the A Year in Fanfiction spreadsheet.

Woohoo! They’re linked! Now this is where things get a little tedious.

You’ll find that you now have two tabs on your spreadsheet, one that has the pretty AO3-inspired formatting, and one that’s plain. The plain sheet is where the form sends your answers.

Alternate Step 2: Click Create a new spreadsheet, this way the plain sheet and the pretty sheet are separate documents.

Step 3: In the plain sheet, hide column A and delete the blank columns to the right.

Step 4: In the pretty sheet, click cell B1, hit ctrl+a, right click, and copy. Go to the plain sheet, click cell B1, hit ctrl+a, right click, and paste.

Step 5: Submit a test response on the form. If you are in edit mode for the form, click the eye symbol at the top to go into preview mode. Your response will appear on row 2 of the sheet.

Step 6: Select row 3 and drag it back to row 2, bumping your test row down. 

Step 7: Click cell B1, make sure the formula in orange says $B$3:$B. Repeat with cell C1; the orange formula here should read $M$3:$M and the one in purple should read $H$3:$H. This tells the sheet to start counting at row 3, your first row of fics!

Step 8: PROFIT!

Feel free to play around with it! Change the theme, the alternating colors, add new categories to the form, make it your own!

Happy New Year and happy reading! ♥️

ok!!! for my fellow monster high collectors, i've made this spreadsheet of every doll release (a few might be missing here and there, especially from g2, sorry!! i tried my best)

all generations are there, as well as a section for mattel creations dolls released from 2020-2024 (any collectors from before then will be included with their respective year/generation)

to use the spreadsheet, all you have to do is click the link, go to file, and make a copy!! then you can rename and edit the sheet to your heart's desire! every red rectangle represents a doll released :)

Hi, I hope you're doing well. I'm writing to you with a heavy heart and an urgent request for help. My family is in a very danger situation due to the ongoing war, and I've launched a GoFundMe campaign to save them. Could you please reblog my campaign post from my profile? Each share could be a lifeline for my family. 🙏 Feel free to share it in any other social media platform if you would like. Our campaign has been verified ⭐️ by operation olive branch, and is entry number 26 on their spreadsheet. Also with ⭐️ Project watermelon,line 249/(212) on their spreadsheet. From the bottom of my heart I want to thank you in advance for all of your support and kindness.

[haveyouheardthisband]

if two people submit a song for the same band, will the second person's overwrite the first's in the spreadsheet? a lot of people don't check to see if something's been filled before they submit.

No, the first one stays --r

[madebycoffee]

fun fact about my deco sims. I often reuse sims I've made (mainly so I don't have to spend 5ever in CAS) But I reuse them across sets that I think make sense lmao.

so: one of the strippers from that set last year, is also the bassist in the rock band set. (her name is elektra)

Che, was a stripper I made for my legacy a while ago. Made sense to include him in the stripper set. But he's also appeared as a wasteland and snow day deco.

and there are many many more examples including ones that are being added in to my current sets i'm working on 🤸‍♀️it's a fun little easter egg to mE.
