can I ask what ur summer research was about?!!! :0 (u absolutely don't have to answer if ur not comfortable, I'm just a giant nerd and loves to hear about research dhdnfjdmdjfng)

Of course!!! I’d be glad to talk about it!!

In short, my research over the summer was putting mice in mazes and looking at how well they remember mazes, how quickly they learn the maze, and how learning one maze can help them learn other mazes faster. More detailed under the read more!

Previous maze studies with mice have shown that mice can actually learn very quickly when they’re learning behaviors that are in line with their own evolutionary advantages rather than arbitrary associations. It’s the difference between telling a mouse “go around these tunnels and try to find water to survive” vs telling it “do these very specific and completely useless 5 things and then you’ll get water”. Maze navigation for mice is already a natural complex behavior: mice are burrowing rodents and already have the predisposition for running around tunnels. We set up a maze and cameras and infrared lights around it to record it doing its thing, so that we can look at its natural behaviors with no human interference.

The unique thing about this project is less the behavior and rapid learning of the mouse and more the maze that we use for the study, called the Manhattan Maze. I think my mentor created it but I’m not too certain? But the basic concept of it, as shown in the figure above, is that there are two boxes of parallel tunnels and one layer of acrylic in the middle. Through holes in the acrylic, the mouse can climb between the two layers and make a “turn”. Essentially, this maze is the most reconfigurable setup for studying mouse behavior in mazes possible, because the middle layer of acrylic, which we call a mask, can be changed 2^(n^2) ways (n being the number of channels in a layer) to make completely different mazes. For the figure above, a 4x4 Manhattan maze, we have 2^16 possible different configurations, but we were actually running it on an 11x11 maze, so there were 2^121 different possible configurations! This way, we can look at the mouse in tons of different mazes without actually having to make a new maze altogether and transfer the mouse every time.

And they learn extremely fast! The mazes we used were pretty much linear paths with small dead ends that weren’t far off from the main path, and required 9 turning decisions to get from starting point to end point. There were 3 of these different masks, and after training for one day on one of them, the next day, almost all mice that completed the training managed to learn completely new 9-decision masks in 3 hours or less!

#I was kind of a menial work goblin over the summer lmao which was to be expected #I am an undergrad after all #but yeah most of my work entailed cleaning up after the mice and putting the mice in the mazes and taking them out at the end of the day #and then bits of data processing to make the data usable for analysis later #but yeah very interesting stuf!! #it’s a bit of a departure from what I did last year which was eye tracking to study implicit visual processing #but I think working with animals in a psychology lab setting was a very good experience #also the mice were very cute. #I enjoyed them a lot #you hold them by the base of the tail to not harm them and they’re kind of disgruntled about it

the kung pow penis is like long dead by now and really like. it was kind of funny when it was done against trilllizard. sensible chuckle. it stopped being funny and became boring when it was done against other bigots. it was incredibly tiresome and cringe when it was done against random people for no reason. this is peak reddit behaviour, dredging up an old ass meme and stripping it of its context. if you join in and kpp me I will assume you are comparing me to trilllizard and will block you accordingly.

ik this isn’t the topic at hand but. just wanted to say… i always felt the division of your art blog from your personal blog was so original content was easier to look through instead of wading through other misc posts (like the fashion and aesthetic posts you like to rb every now and then). not to, like, divide the art from the artist… i think you being silly and answering occasional random asks adds to your art. like knowing you see clothes as a love language??? now i understand your labelling deku’s shirt as ‘hamster’

i don't really get your point (my fault) but

yeah that's why i made this side blog kjdfnf, a bit ironic that I've been clogging it with asks sorryyyy

thank you for seeing it that way! <3 that's why i didn't want to separate my fan art from my main at first, i always felt like my sketches were just another part of my animanga blogging, like it's just another medium to communicate my thoughts and interpretations :D

the hamster label was added with loveeee

#i tihnk i got your point while trying to answer this #i understand people who just want to see the art but when i say this is just another dimension of my shonen live blogging! #like my art isnt particularly artistic or anyhting i just like to visualize my thoughts on whatever i read :D #like horikoshi put some thought into the kids' styles and i like to take it a bit further and i LOVE to see others do it as well #deku dressing like his sentimental clingy mom is still buying clothes for him is so important to meeeeeeeee #bakugo letting his friends wear his shirt is soooooooooooooooo #i think fashion is very fun implicit characterization #irl and in fiction #so many signals #beybunaski

@fishyio replied to your post “so, what's up with korvin's parents? they're just...”:

COMPLETELY relate with the whole asian culture+background thing. had to stop a few times when reading this post bc i felt so Understood. i think that's what makes your SIs so compelling and engaging for me– because i can relate deeply to them and their behaviours etc. that and that your writing is fantastic :) other than that it's really interesting to see the thought you put into your SIs. thanks for the post!

​writing for all the "underrepresented" nd diaspora asians in fandom lol ✌✌

in seriousness: thank you for your compliments, i'm happy that what i write feels resonant to readers. "relatability" isn't the end all be all, as many writing quips and advice will state, but a lot of those statements are made in this vacuum of an assumed default. and that assumed default is usually (in western fandom) an acultural whiteness influenced by christian norms.

thus, to people not of that default and grew up needing to blend in with it (east asians being model minorities and having an "easier time," sort of), "relatability" is an oasis, a grounding point, reorientation. it's something others will take for granted until they don't have it; it's something i couldn't find so i made my own, and i'm happy it lead you to my writing.

#redglyphs #fishyio #growing up on SIOC writing and now that i literally don't care enough to be circumspect #so many time i read a thing and just point ''ah. white.'' #which is especially jarring bc many of the canon cultures are Not White #so the buy-in has an extra bit of tax imposed for me that didn't seem to exist for other readers #which left me feeling even more alienated in a hobby that should be an escape w/ equality imposed via anonymity #and because culture is something that's very implicit and baked into oneself #it's difficult to articulate or question what's causing dissonance #opinionated verm

I feel like I'm not especially good at or interested in prose tbh but I've always found it fairly easy to write natural-sounding dialogue. I could happily write pages and pages of nothing but dialogue like it feels like I can Hear These People speaking in my head and I know exactly what they'd say

#its why i love screenplays #and also gravitate towards iceberg theory style of writing #like i like bare bones 'this happened. she went there. And then she fell asleep' #like obviously that's a bit of an exaggeration and its not like it doesn't take skill to do it well #i love raymond carver or hemingway where words are chosen carefully and you have to read between the lines #things are implicit #i honestly should probably challenge myself to focus more on prose lol #oops this is on the wrong blog but i'll just keep it here

It's a small thing, but I think it's important that when Lovelace describes what she thinks they should do in Securité, she explicitly says they should transfer Hera's personality over to the Urania before they "blast the hell out of dodge".

She doesn't have to say it directly. It's not like she's outlining a full detailed plan at that moment. Eiffel and Minkowski probably would have assumed that any "we" leaving the Hephaestus would include Hera (if at all possible). But if Lovelace had just said 'We should get on their shuttle and blast the hell out of dodge', I think Hera would have wondered whether that included her. Instead, Lovelace leaves no room for doubt.

I don't think Lovelace and Hera are really friends at that point, not after what went down in Mayday. But Lovelace still shows a kind of simple consideration there, in not just thinking that Hera would come with them if they left but saying it out loud. It's a contrast with Lovelace's behaviour in Season 2, when she lets Hera (and the rest of the crew) believe that she would be willing to blow the Hephaestus up with Hera still on it. Perhaps the talking to that Hera gave her in Do No Harm had an impact. Perhaps Lovelace has simply come closer to understanding Hera's perspective or to properly considering her a part of the crew.

#I know the situation is a bit different between Season 2 and Securité #because the Urania is much more likely to be able to contain Hera's personality than Lovelace's shuttle #so bringing Hera with them is much more possible in Lovelace's Securité plan than in S2 #But Lovelace still could have left it implicit that they wouldn't just leave Hera behind on the Hephaestus #if they left on the Urania #Instead she chooses direct communication #I think Hera needs that given all her past experiences #She needs it to be stated that she is included when people say 'we' #She needs it to be stated that she won't be left behind #I don't think it's necessarily a conscious decision Lovelace makes to say it like that #but I do think it's significant #w359 #wolf 359 #w359 spoilers #isabel lovelace #hera w359 #wolf 359 spoilers #the empty man posteth

Gender roles are so weird & made up that humans typically believe cats are for girls & dogs are for boys.

I adore WinTeam but P’Pruek is the true delight.

His face when Win told him and Dean that he had already slept with Team.

Truely the expression of a man who is well-meaning but about to smile very widely at the kind of psychological damage that has been suddenly unleashed on him

#between us the series #between us #happy we got at long last more manow - i love her #this episode was kind of filler but hopefully they got most of the sponsorships out of the way like this #the teamwin scenes in the beginning felt a bit disconnected because of it but i adored the last bit where they each spoke to their friends #abotu their feelings #much to dean's honest concern and breaking p'preuk's mind #i was ready for standard drama and probably would have liked it but i also like the implicit angst of both of them thinking they're one-side #ly in love (my kind of idiots) #and how jarring it must be to hear your crush talk about having had sex with you to his friends while you yourself haven't even mentioned be #ing interested in the guy before your own friends #just tastiness all around #happy we got win and his brothers but i couldn't care less about bumblebee and prince #again: cannot wait until next week #maybe it is the red herring for this week with last week's preview but why do i feel like team's night time practice will be far more dramat #ic than the preview suggests? #to be fair to p'pruek: i didn't expect win to tell them that he had slept with team already #also respect dean being a friend but still watching out for no juniors getting hurt

i have something very personal and ugly and probably incoherent that i need to get off my chest about israel. to preface im not a zionist, i am jewish and disgusted by israel on a daily basis, and this is me mostly speaking from that. i am sorry and if anyone who follows me doesn't want to read this from me/hates it i ask that you just scroll on by and forget it. and if you do read it and respond im happy to talk but just please take it in good faith. in reponse to this post

#it's not black and white. maybe in purely theoretical moral dilemma terms it seems that way. but not in reality. #what do you do with an israel that should not exist on principle but does? it does and the people in it have been there for generations now #and it's jewish. this DOES complicate things and i wish people would stop pretending it doesn't. #it makes everything literally everything so. fucking. complicated. #cause you end up with this implicit ultimatum: side with hamas or be a zionist. what other options are there under this world view #if you only think israel should stop mass murdering palestinians but speak in favour of 2 state solution or talk about 'right to exist' #are you saying you're fine with everything else; the occupation was justified just not outright genocide? #it always has to go back to the ideological origin of zionism which means a call to abolish the state of israel entirely. #and in parallel if you talk of atrocities on 7 october or terrorists this takes away from the palestinian struggle right #because hamas are the armed resistance to israel and to call for their condemnation to withdraw support from the unrwa #is to renounce solidarity with the palestinian cause in any way that matters. do you really care if you deny them the right to resist? #but here's the other side. you just cannot ask this of jews. maybe some jews but the vast majority? telling them they need #to essentially throw their support behind an organisation that hates their existence? #hamas ARE antisemitic. the houthis are antisemitic #it's a different kind of antisemitism to the white/aryan supremacist kind. it's complex and it comes with an actual weight of grievances #but it's still antisemitism. the future desired by the resistance is not kind to jews certainly not in palestine and realistically #not anywhere else either. islamophobia and antisemitism have both seen huge upticks since 7 october. do you think it's just #nazis and far right bigots enjoying free reign? no. there is a real inter ethnic inter religious hatred here. you can't just wish it away #there's a real sense i get from the circles i follow here that you have to be 'all in' with your activism or else your views are worth shit #but then i guess it's okay if your wholehearted antizionist rhetoric is just a bit antisemtic as well or supports those who are #so yeah actually for jews this is not an easy solution. at least for this jew it is not. the only uncomplicated thing for me #s seeing what israel does and calling it a crime against humanity and demanding an immediate ceasefire #talking unreservedly about the evil that israel has committed against palestinians for decades #i wish it was as uncomplicated as going from that to saying israel needs to disappear completely. but im jewish and i have a jewish family. #i cant boycott my father like a problematic celebrity for getting upset when i said israel should never have been established at all #i cant sit in judgment of every jew who feels some personal connection to israel when i'm 2 degrees removed from victims of 7 october #anyway. me personally i fucking loathe israel. not Just Its Government i hate the mocking cruelty of its army and many people in it #and also for how it is tied up with jewish identity despite me wanting no part of it. whether i like it or not.

Can you be awesome and give me some well thought out prongsfoot headcanons? (If you have the time), I want to write a story with then and I need more on their dynamic, than just the basics.

(Friendship and Romantic! 😁)

omg hi yes!! i’ve never gotten an ask like this, i don’t think, and my hcs usually develop during stories so let’s see if i can do it :p

x

- soulmates in every universe, if not romantic then definitely platonic. they’ll find their way to each other, always.

- james has a crooked nose that sirius loves kissing. he’s very possessive about it, actually

- j might be generally a bit thick bc of the whole spoiled-only-child thing but he’s particularly attuned to sirius’ moods and emotions. i can imagine him writing long ass letters to his parents in the first few years whenever something tripped him up (which was, ykno, everything considering how sheltered he was) to so for help and sirius featured a lot in this (mum, how do i help with nightmares? mum, he doesn’t like treacle tart what do i doooooo, mum he wasn’t allowed to fly as a kid this is a travesty, mum he’s sad a lot and chai doesn’t always help, mum i don’t know how to make him smile etc etc)

- this one’s controversial, i think, but i love thinking of sirius as modelling james’ behaviour. we know he grew up being fed violent hatred + a superiority complex the size of Everest yeah? fully believe his process of unlearning started with james (the first time he used the word mudblood, our boy probably clutched his pearls, scandalised, ‘what are you doing u can’t say that!!’ so sirius started turning to j as a barometer for how to act, sometimes, bc he realised he couldn’t trust his family (and by extension, his own) behaviour. this isn’t instant, mind, but a gradual, time & labor intensive process and even after he grew out of it, i think sirius had this subconscious tendency to look for james’ approval.

- i hate the whole ‘james matured for a girl’ arc so my take on it is that his ‘growth’ came from a combination of ailing, elderly parents + rising war tensions + most importantly, sirius. end of 5th year he got a first hand view into the treatment his best mate received by his family and that horror made him want to be the best he could for sirius. i’ve always seen james as a protector and a caregiver, someone who takes people under his wing & looks after them, and i don’t think it was ever more obvious than around sirius. post 5th year, he gained a focus that he lacked before and would spend a lot of time just picking up on skills that could help him be better. duelling, defence, first aid, knitting, cooking etc etc. anything to feel useful.

- the shift from friendship to romantic would be tricky & probably require outside intervention or a lot of time, i think. they were already so close as friends that it just never occurs to them to take it any further ykno? their hearts & souls are intertwined, they’re super physically affectionate, and they’re already each other’s no. 1. so someone either has to bring it to their attention, they take yeaaaaars to realise ‘huh. this isn’t how i feel towards others’ or they live a wonderfully fulfilling qpp life together.

- i’ve talked about this before but physical!!! affection!!! and not just in terms of like, kisses or hugs but touch. they’re always in contact in some way. it’s comforting, safe. arms around waists, shoulders, hips/chin resting on the other, leg slung across, hand on a back or leg. you get it right? it’s subconscious, it’s natural, and they don’t even realise they’re doing it unless someone points it out

- sunshine and sunshine protector!!!! james was loud and brash and took all the space in a room. he was also sensitive bc he’s not told no often so when it has to be done, u need to do it in a certain way so he doesn’t internalise it as a personal failing and shut down. sirius is the best one to do it bc he can stand up to james w/o being intimidated + realise that the carrot works better than the stick w him. there’s a very real risk of his light fading out. at the same time, this makes sirius very protective of him. it’s why i wrote shovel talk. even in a universe where lily & sirius were friends, i think he’ll have a Talk with her to confirm her intentions. sirius is not willing to take chances with his james.

- pet names! james called sirius darling and my love and honey and sweetheart because he’s an old soul in a young body. sirius called james love (and sometime babe/baby). their go to for each other was ‘si’ and ‘jamie’ respectively, which was a term of affection on its own bc only they used it, no one else.

- james has *always* been attracted to sirius; he just didn’t realise it bc he thought this was how everyone felt towards sirius. ‘oh yeah he’s so ethereally beautiful, it’s just like, a fact of life and everyone knows it’ and thinks the random boners are normal until one day he realised that, no, that’s not actually the norm & he’s just a simp who thinks everything sirius does is perfect (think chin in hand, heart eyes, sighing)

ok i’m gonna cut myself off here bc this is already criminally long but i think it’s pretty clear i can go on for days lol. i tried to include both but i’m not great w romantic so i hope that came thru 🙈🙈

pls tag me in ur story when u write it (even if the hcs don’t help lol u can still use them in a process of elimination to find ur niche)!! i’d love, love , love to read it + always here if u wanna brainstorm 💜
