Oh my lovely Labor law notes! I miss studying in coffee shops /(âĽ_âĽ)/Â
These past few years was a messy whirlwind of existential crisis, failures, happiness, and moving on. Before the start of the pandemic, I chose to move back to my province after catching wind that the COVID-19 will hit the capital first. It was back in 2019 and I was in Metro Manila struggling to juggle this news, finals, and school requirements. It did not help that our professors were indifferent and the school admin was very uncooperative. I was sick all the time; my asthma attacks got worse, I had acid reflux for the first time, and I always had fever during and after every exam. I was reviewing for my classes (8 subjects with an average of 20-45 assigned case readings per meeting), finishing my apprenticeship (traveling from different cities braving the hell that is Manila traffic), helping my younger brother with his school work, and being involved in the family business. I was beyond exhausted. It finally hit the last straw when I went to go for a check up after a bad asthma attack and agonizing acid reflux. The doctor told me that I was so stressed that my body is trying to communicate through my illnesses that it could not keep up with me anymore. After completing my school requirements, I quickly packed my bags and moved back home. Terrified of the virus and the results of my finals, I was withdrawn for the first few weeks from my family. However, while eating lunch with my mom I suddenly cried in front of her and admitted that I was tired of law school. She cried with me and told me she understood and that she hated herself for letting it go on like this. We spent that day just mother-and-daughter bonding. I took my time to heal, take care of my health, and bond with my family. In the end I still decided to pursue law because I already committed myself in this career for so long that going back is not an option anymore. And at some point... I did enjoy my time learning about the law, the cases, and my law school buddies. Since moving back, I did not contract any illness. No asthma attack, no acid reflux, no fevers, no coughs, nothing. I was amazed that I can go through the week without coughing or wheezing. I even thanked God that I can finally go up and down the stairs without feeling lightheaded lololol It took a long and hard battle for me to understood the importance of healthily loving oneself. To be fair, it is difficult to realize that in law school đAnyway, this has become too long already!
To conclude! I am genuinely very happy now.

December 02-08, 2019
Hello studyblogers! Here I serve you my gold theme bullet journal spread for the whole month of December! Two more weeks before new year welcome us. I havenât done any notes as of the moment but I have my lists of to-study-topics. Right now I am so hooked to this american series called âGreyâs Anatomyâ and I canât stress enough how much I can relate to this series. How about you guys? What are you up to these days? Most of you are already on Christmas vacation and I wish you can make the most out of it. đ So thatâs it. Have a great day studynerds! Stay hydrated and keep that motivation. â¤ď¸
It just kills me when writers create franchises where like 95% of the speaking roles are male, then get morally offended that all of the popular ships are gay. Itâs like, what did they expect?
#friendly reminder that I once put my statistics degree to good use and did some calculations about ship ratios#and yes considering the gender ratios of characters#the prevalence of gay ships is completely predictable (via sarahtonin42)
I feel this is something that does often get overlooked in slash shipping, especially in articles that try to âexplainâ the phenomena. No matter the show, movie or book, people are going to ship. When everyone is a dude and the well written relationships are all dudes, of course weâre gonna go for romance among the dudes because we have no other options.
Totally.
A lot of analyses propose that the overwhelming predominance of male/male ships over female/female and female/male ships in fandom reflects an unhealthy fetishisation of male homosexuality and a deep-seated self-hatred on the part of women in fandom. While itâs true that many fandoms certainly have issues gender-wise, that sort of analysis willfully overlooks a rather more obvious culprit.
Suppose, for the sake of argument, that we have a hypothetical media franchise with twelve recurring speaking roles, nine of which are male and three of which are female.
(Note that this is actually a bit better than average representaton-wise - female representation in popular media franchises is typicaly well below the 25% contemplated here.)
Assuming that any character can be shipped with any other without regard for age, gender, social position or prior relationship - and for simplicity excluding cloning, time travel and other âselfcestâ-enabling scenarios - this yields the following (non-polyamorous) possibilities:
Possible F/F ships: 3 Possible F/M ships: 27 Possible M/M ships: 36
TOTAL POSSIBLE SHIPS: 66
Thus, assuming - again, for the sake of simplicity - that every possible ship is about equally likely to appeal to any given fan, weâd reasonably expect about (36/66) = 55% of all shipping-related media to feature M/M pairings. No particular prejudice in favour of male characters and/or against female characters is necessary for us to get there.
The point is this: before we can conclude that representation in shipping is being skewed by fan prejudice, we have to ask how skewed it would be even in the absence of any particular prejudice on the part of the fans. Or, to put it another way, we have to ask ourselves: are we criticising women in fandom - and letâs be honest here, this type of criticism is almost exclusively directed at women - for creating a representation problem, or are we merely criticising them for failing to correct an existing one?
YES YES YES HOLY SHIT YES FUCKING THANK YOU!
Also food for thought: the obvious correction to a lack of non-male representation in a story is to add more non-males. Female Original Characters are often decried as self-insertion or Mary Sues, particular if romance or sex is a primary focus.
I really appreciate when tumblr commentary is of the quality I might see at an academic conference. No joke.
This doesnât even account  for the disparity in the amount of screen time/dialogue male characters to get in comparison to female characters, and how much time other characters spend talking about male characters even when they arenât onscreen. This all leads to male characters ending up more fully developed, and more nuanced than female characters. The more an audience feels like they know a character, the more likely an audience is to care about a character. More network television writers are men. Male writers tend to understand men better than women, statistically speaking. Female characters are more likely to be written by men who donât understand women vary well.Â
But itâs easier to blame the collateral damage than solve the root problem.
Yay, mathy arguments. :)
This is certainly one large factor in the amount of M/M slash out there, and the first reason that occurred to me when I first got into fandom (I donât think itâs the sole reason, but I think itâs a bigger one than some people in the Why So Much Slash debate give our credit for). And nice point about adding female OCs.
In some of my shipping-related stats, I found that shows with more major female characters lead to more femslash (also more het). Â (e.g. femslash in female-heavy media; femslash deep dive) Iâve never actually tried to do an analysis to pin down how much of fandomâs M/M preference is explained by the predominance of male characters in the source media, but Iâm periodically tempted to try to do so.
All great points. Another thing I notice is that many shows are built around the idea that the team or the partner is the most important thing in the universe. Watch any buddy cop show, and half of the episodes have a character on a date that is inevitably interrupted because The Job comes first⌠except âThe Jobâ actually means âMy Partnerâ.
When itâs a male-female buddy show, all of the failed relationships are usually, canonically, because the leads belong together. (Look at early Bones: she dates that guy who is his old friend and clearly a stand-in for him. They break up because *coughcoughhandwave*. That stuff happens constantly.) Male-male buddy shows write the central relationship the exact same way except that they expect us to read it as platonic.
Long before it becomes canon, the potential ship of Mulder/Scully or Booth/Bones or whatever lead male/female couple consumes the fandom. Itâs not about the genders involved. Rizzoli/Isles was like this too.
If canon tells us that no other relationship has ever measured up to this one, why should we keep them apart? Donât like slash of your shows, prissy writers? Then stop writing all of your leads locked in epic One True Love romance novel relationships with their same-sex coworkers. Give them warm, funny, interesting love interests, not cardboard cutoutsâŚ
And then we will ship an OT3.
Iâm going to bring up (invent?) the concept of subjectification.
As in, people gravitate to the characters given the most depth, complexity, and satisfying interactions for their shipping needs, because those characters are most human, and we want the realest characters to play with.
In a lot of media, the most depth gets handed to male characters.
And, oftentimes, even when the screentime and depth and interactions are granted equally well to female characters, there can be a level of, for lack of a better word, dis-authenticity to those female characters: they are pared down, washed out, or otherwise made slightly less themselves than they could be, in the interest of making them decorative, or likeable, or âgood,â or keeping them from upstaging or emasculating their male companions, or just that the writer whose job it is to write them doesnât know how to write women the way they write men.
And you get the characterization equivalent of that comparison chart where so many animated female characters have the same facial features because the animators and designers are so worried about not letting them be ugly.
When you have a group thatâs allowed to be themselves, warts and all, and another group that has to be decorative at all costs, the impression given on some level is that the decorative quality is making up for a shortcoming. That they wouldnât be enough in their own right.
And sometimes that cost is authenticity. The interesting, striking, awe-inspiring, bold and glorious unapologetic selfhood that draws the viewer most particularly to those characters who are unapologetic in their particular existence, standing clear of the generic and bland and unchallenging âsafeâ appearances.
It is authenticity, not beauty, which powers subjectification. The love for a character, not because they are perfect, but because they are them.
They can be pretty, sure. They can be sweet. But being pretty and sweet is not a replacement, and too many female characters have been written by writers who think it is, while the interestâin appearance, in personality, in interactions, in plot developmentâgoes to the men.
And when that happens, well. Surprise, surprise, thatâs where the shipping goes.
Yeah I donât really ship but I do write a fair amount of fanfic, and in most franchises working with the female characters is a chore.
You have to do so much of the work yourself, because the canon left them unfinished, with huge gaps or unexplored contradictions that you have to somehow resolve. Every female character you decide to integrate into your fanwork in some major role constitutes an undertaking in her own right as you patch together an understanding of her sufficient to model a consistent set of reactions and priorities &c.
The dudes just get handed to you. Even the ones whose canon is a mess have properly developed character cores.
That you donât have to unearth and piece together like some sort of volunteer archeologist coming up with theories way more complex than the available artifacts truly support.
Guys read this this is an amazing breakdown of it
Not gonna lie, this past week has been pure hell. The stress of the future is really getting to me and every senior in my class, and to be completely honest weâre all feeling kind of borderline panic attack at the moment. But thereâs a lot more to do and its not over yet; so if youâre in a position like mine remember to hold on. All this suffering is for a reason!!! // Build yourself; you are constantly growing.Â
