The zodiac is so funny to me cause it’s all these real animals and then just. Dragon. Like one here is obviously infinitely better than the others and shouldn’t be included because of that.

I've finally done what I inevitably do for nearly every fandom i get into: I've made a deranged spreadsheet tracking some linguistic element in a piece of media! this time it's tracking the usage of swears in Scum Villain. if you're curious, here's the full spreadsheet, but I'll write up my findings here

some notes on my methods!

I differentiated between internal and external use. external use is pretty straight forward, that's just dialogue said out loud. for internal use, that's when it's used in the narration. obviously, this is skewed towards Shen Qingqiu as our primary POV character, but occasionally the narration dips its toes into other characters' perspectives, so I kept that in mind and assigned the usage to whoever seemed most relevant in that snippet of narration. also, in the case of the transmigrators, I also counted speech directed at the System as internal because they're less likely to self-censor when talking to the System because no one else can hear them

this was done by searching for specific words and their variants in online copies of the official English translations of all four books. there are a bajillion different swears in the English language, but I tried to focus on the most common/most likely to be used. also, since I was searching for the words manually, there are going to be some that are missed because they're written out abnormally, like lengthening the word for emphasis (eg. fuuuuuuuuuck) or censoring it (eg. b- [BLEEP]). side note, i don't know why the hell SQQ ever censors anything since he seems pretty comfortable thinking some pretty foul things without censoring them, but whatever.

now for the results! data breakdown under the cut

in total, of the swears I searched for, there's 286 swears across all four books. book two is the most vulgar, with 82 swears, and book three is the least, with only 52. book two also has the most variety (14 different words) and book three has the least variety (only 10 different words)

perhaps unsurprisingly, out of these 286 swears, SQQ's internal narration is responsible for 200 of them. his most used swear is "fuck" which appears 106 times in total and 86 times from SQQ (internal) specifically

following SQQ (internal) in the rankings is Shang Qinghua (internal) at 30 in total. his most used swear is "fucking." after that is SQH's external dialogue (14 swears, most used is "fuck") and then SQQ's external dialogue (11 swears, tied between "fuck" and "fucking"). considering how much he swears in his head, I think SQQ is exhibiting a surprising amount of restraint when it comes to swearing out loud!

aside from the transmigrators, the most vulgar side character is, surprisingly, Shen Jiu! he gets two internal uses of "fuck" and two external swears ("shitty" and "damn"). these are all from when he was younger, so perhaps this is a habit he broke when he got older and had to present a particular image as peak lord

the only other side characters who swear are Sha Hualing (internal), Bingge (internal), Linguang-Jun (external), Qiu Jianluo (external), and Ming Fan. all of them only swear once except Ming Fan, who gets two (one internal and one external)

of the 18 swear words I tracked, SQQ used all of them except one. the only person to say "bitch" is Ming Fan, out loud. #MingFanMisogynyMoments

SQQ does, however, have a monopoly on motherfuck/motherfucker/motherfucking, goddammit, dumbass, dick, and pussy. damn dude, you kiss your disciple with that mouth?

pre-transmigration, Shen Yuan swore three times in one forum post, those being "fucking," "damn," and "ass."

most usages of "ass" are for emphatic purposes, like "Relax, my ass!" Both SQQ and SQH really enjoy this construction lol

despite volume two being the most vulgar, it has the least variety of speakers! SQQ is responsible for all but two of those swears, the other two belonging to Sha Hualing and Ming Fan. volume four has the most variety, likely because it just involves a wide variety of characters

and that's my data roundup! go forth and use this as a resource when choosing how to insert swearing into your SVSSS dialogue <3

So I just decided to render the speedpaint videos for this month's Patreon rewards and instead VLC corrupted all my files when I tried to convert them from mkv to mp4 and it overwrote the originals so now I have nothing, lost all the process of the two illustrations I had done and it's almost the end of the month and I have to paint and record the process of two new illustration in a couple of days before I have to leave on a trip 🙃

Stats Sunday

Happy March!! Thanks for the tag @nausikaaa! Unfortunately, my goal is to make this banner worse every month, so be prepared—we've only just begun.

Early post for me. I should be sleeping but I started making my graphs and then... well, here we are.

Here's my February Recap loll. Stats and graphs and musings incoming. (this post is so long but i promise there's a snippet in here)

Rest of post is under the cut. It is long. You've been warned.

I've posted two things last month! A valentine's day fic for Ebb/Fiona and Chapter 3 of the Way We Are. (Technically i posted 3 but this stranger things oneshot was posted on the 1st and written in January so it feels like January's accomplishment)

Total words written for February: 14405 (this beats Jan by 460 words!)

Days I met my writing goal (200 words): 20

Days I didn't write or edit anything: 4

Day I wrote the most: Feb 11th with 2249 (this beats last month's high score of 1717!)

Number of Fics worked on: 10 technically, but i have not been consistent with most of them. mainly worked on 3.

Daily Average: 514 words (but like last month i am highly inconsistent and my WC varies wildy depending on the day)

(I really like the little curve in the middle. also two the days that look like zero are actually 1 words, which is my placeholder if i spend all day editing)

And here's a pie chart to show my WC distribution across projects. Tbh a lot of these were fics that i've had in my fic ideas doc and all i did was make a google doc for them and word barf onto it my ideas, that's why there's so many small slices.

some slices are so small you don't even get to know my placeholder names. also i hope the title THTHIPWGI intrigues you, i'm always excited when i can title a fic right away and refer to it by a fun accyromn on my spreadsheet.

Other notable things from February:

I finished writing all of The Way We Are!! (kind of. i have one more scene to write. Monica's fault.)

I took over the @carry-on-sapphic-week event!! Check out the prompts if you haven't yet <3

I've received So Many beautiful valentines from the CO discord servers exchange. my mailbox and my heart has been full

The CO fandom was able to raise $500 for Fandom Trumps Hate!! (and I got to make a spreadsheet bc of this!!!) (also i won two auctions from this, one for each fandom i'm in)

My car battery died and I had to get a new one :/

I started a new journal!

I finally figured out how to spell February

my savage worlds campaign finally got our ship back and made it off this stupid planet that we've been on forever.

i've started watching Yellowjackets and I'm really enjoying it

I read so many CO AU fest fics and each one of them was so good. I think i've read all except one so far, and honestly this fest has been so fun i'm obsessed with you guys, you're are so talented.

SPEAKING of CO AU fest fics, @fiend-for-culture's fic, Everything In Between, is SO good, i've been thinking about it all week. you should read it (and leave a comment so i can read it bc i'm stalking the comments on this fic and there's not enough to sate me)

i have spring break in just one week!!

Okay, i promised you words, so here's a snip from my COBB.

“And I’m sorry,” Simon says. “For what?” “Driving you off yesterday.” “That wasn’t your fault. I was being terrible.” “Yeah,” Simon agrees. “But I shouldn’t have dismissed you like that.” I make a face. “I’m not having a heart-to-heart with you, Snow.” Simon groans. “Why do you have to do that?" "What" "Everytime I think we're making progress you say something nasty like that."

sorry this post is so long, thank you for reading if you made it this far

Mostly out of curiosity, what's your preferred theory on how reincarnation works in Rain World?

I personally lean towards the first two options I listed because they break the least other things (like evolution) but i've included revival as well since I've seen it a fair bit. I'm not aware of any other theories so I'm sorry if i've missed some obvious ones out! If a lot of people write 'other' I'll redo the poll.

1. Timeline Fracture: after a creature dies it wakes up at some point before it died in a new timeline. It remains the same individual as it was before. The creature stays dead in the original timeline. This is the most literal interpretation of the games mechanics combined with lore.

2. Classic Reincarnation: after a creature dies it is born in a new body of the same or a different species in the same timeline. This theory is more in line with the spiritual inspirations behind the game's lore.

3. Revival: After a creature dies, it wakes up again as the same individual in the same timeline at a different point in time and/or a different place.

[yeah-thats-probably-it]

thinking about what if data were aromantic. even after he gets the emotion chip put in, he still just doesn’t feel romantic love, and doesn’t understand what other people are feeling when they talk about it. and he’s really upset at first because he feels like after everything he’s been through to get here he still isn’t fully human. there’s still a piece missing. he’s tapped into every work of art humans have ever created and romance seems so ubiquitous that he thinks you can’t be human without it

i’m imagining this as like a b or c plot of an episode. maybe he’s been working with a crew member who turns out to be aromantic and they commiserate about how alienating it can be to hear everyone talk about romance all the time. everyone comes together at the end to help him realize that he feels so many different kinds of love, and no human’s experience with emotions is exactly the same and your humanity doesn’t depend on what emotions you do or don’t feel anyway

i think this would be a good episode. i would enjoy it

noone asked for epileptic ramírez family art but you‘re getting it anyways

(more details on my headcanon below)

so the basis of this headcanon is that epilepsy runs in the ramírez side of the family, most likely starting with bisabuela pati (despite not being blood related to her cousin bud also has epilepsy, a pretty insane coincidence if you think about it). this seems to have hit the primos’ generation the most, with only gordita, lucita and baby bud having not been hit with it yet

i wrote about each character (besides the three i mentioned previously) in more detail in one of my notebooks but that shit did NOT make sense so i’m going to summarise.

tater -

went through the first half of her life perfectly fine until her fifth birthday where she watched a rather overstimulating movie which triggered her first seizure (she’s photosensitive). she had a few more that year but she got everything under control relatively quickly, meaning she’s unmedicated, she just has to be careful when choosing things to watch.

nellie -

was barely a week old when she had her first seizure. as a baby she was constantly in and out of the hospital — the family epilepsy curse hit her HARD. for the first years of her life nellie was under CONSTANT supervision (when she moved in to tater’s bedroom keeping track of her at night got harder so they installed a seizure sensor thing under her bunk (i have one too!)), and she got excused from a lot of chores and physical activities just to be safe (this enabled her to become her lazy self).

lita -

lita’s epilepsy wasn’t ever really serious — when she was little her parents noticed she was pretty spacey, and even as she aged and got more energetic, she would still wear out pretty quickly. she’d stare blankly for a couple seconds, her eyelids would flutter as she looked around, looking mildly confused, then she’d shrug it off and get back to what she was doing. these turned out to be absences. she would have these pretty regularly but she grew out of them pretty quickly.

scooter -

he went a long time without suffering from anything his family did — had the occasional spasm here and there but nothing too severe — until one day his brain decided to turn against him, and now all of a sudden he’s having seizures left and right. his anxiety is a pretty big trigger for his seizures. he tends to get auras/„warning seizures” in stressful situations which only add even more stress.

tabi -

had her first (tonic-clonic) seizure at a sleepover when she was around… ten-elevenish? she had stayed up WAY longer than she ever had before and apparently her body couldn’t handle that. tabi’s a lot better at handling staying up longer than usual now, though her body does sometimes throw an absence at her if she’s overstepping it.

tere -

tere was already a lot to deal with as a little kid — her family epilepsy kicking in did NOT make things any easier to deal with. getting too overwhelmed/excited/emotional could send her straight into a fit. thankfully, this is no longer a problem she has to deal with. she has a lot of myoclonics but those are really easily dealt with.

toñita -

like nellie, she’s been having seizures since she was a baby, though hers were bad length-wise rather than quantity-wise. she’s had practically every kind of seizure under the sun, though nowadays she usually only has to deal with myoclonics and a nasty tic she developed (the doctors still aren’t sure if it’s caused by the epilepsy itself or a side effect of her meds). she’s a bit self conscious about her tic (she has tried everything to hide it), but besides that, she doesn’t mind her epilepsy too much. it’s a pain in the ass, but at least she gets extra attention when it starts playing up!

lotlot -

she’s been dealing with her epilepsy her whole life but it’s never been all that bad. she’s had a few tonic-clonics over the years, though her seizures usually tended to be atonic or tonic. she doesn’t mind them at all — collapsing on the cold, hard floor at random intervals has helped her build a resistance to feeling pain when falling over, meaning pretending to drop dead is a lot easier. (that’s one way to cope, i guess….)

chacha -

though it was extremely unpredictable at first, chacha’s epilepsy is probably the least prevalent and best controlled of all the seizure-having primos. good for her!

cousin bud -

his diagnosis was definitely the biggest shocker, mostly because of what an insane coincidence it is, lol. he’s been dealing with epilepsy since he was around eight, though he still hasn’t gotten around to getting it fully under control. he’s doing a lot better than he used to, but tonic-clonics (and the occasional complex partial) are still regular occurrences in his life.

big nacho -

he’s gotten past the worst of his epilepsy — in the first grade he would always have seizures in the most inconvenient times and places leading to various unfortunate injuries, but he hasn’t had a tonic-clonic or any other more serious seizure in a long time. his biggest epilepsy related problem he deals with currently is self consciousness. he’s afraid that his medical history is going to stop him from acheiving some of his dreams (or having children)

nachito -

his epilepsy isn’t unpredictable per se, it’s just that nachito doesn’t know how to tell when he’s about to have a seizure, which can cause some unfortunate situations. lucky for him, his epilepsy is on the weaker side, so he tends not to deal with anything worse than a partial. slightly less lucky for him, his epilepsy has impaired his memory a bit

aaand that about covers everything! i’ve also got some teirlists i made in school for other miscellaneous details (ignore how i spelled absence, i suck at typing)

i'm sure i am not the only one who is very concerned about the ~4 hours between when the midjourney change was made, and I knew to go opt out of it, so; glaze does not need to be on all your works to be effective. in the same way that one artist glazing all their works will ruin a broad, multi-artist dataset, glazing your works moving forward will ruin any dataset trained on you. if out of 100 comics I've posted, 10 are glazed, a dataset trained on all of my comics will not be able to make anything similar to my style. anyways. go download glaze.

wanted to learn some r so i started doing the cs50 r course. i was on a godawful school chromebook, and they've made it so you can't install linux, so i can't use vs code. rstudio cloud to the rescue, i sign up to rstudio cloud with my school email, write my first little program and save it in rstudio cloud.

i go back today. i want to carry on with my thing. i try to sign in to rstudio cloud.
