[ NOT POSTED TO NETWORK - DATASET ]
SURVEY ONE
OBSERVATIONS:
Every Sanguis in the S/I pairing type reports possessive behavior; most Irises report some form of clingy/needy behavior
Four of six Cordises report increased hunger, four of six Cordises report pheromones
Three of four cats report becoming ASSHOLES
One Iris in the C/I pairing type mentions essentially no symptoms of moonblessing
Three of six Irises in the C/I pairing type report going into heat, five of six report heightened affection
Five of eleven respondents have been here the same amount of time
Seven of eleven respondents have been here the same or within one month of each other
- ☆ ☆ ☆ -
SURVEY TWO
OBSERVATIONS:
Of the seven actual responses, five thought they were going to be Iris.
Both respondents who guessed wrong about being Iris are actually Cordis.
No one guessed Iris and wound up Sanguis.
No one guessed they would be Cordis.
Two people guessed they would be Sanguis; one was correct and one was wrong.
The Sanguis who was wrong is actually an Iris.
>> People who are Iris seem to be slightly better at identifying that they will probably be Iris.

Hey, it's me again, the guy from last month who was doing that survey about the moonblessings.
I think I've got some pretty good data now so people who were interested in seeing a copy of that, you can message me here if you want and I'll share it.
Not sure what I'm going to do next but there's some good stuff to think about in here I think. So thanks if you participated.
And if you participated and were just stupid with your answers, well, guess what, science marched on anyway despite you.

This is excellent. Would you mind if I made a few comments?
[Best to ask, and let Jotaro lead their interaction; no need to risk blowing his cover!]
no subject
Sure, I know it's pretty incomplete, but I definitely want your thoughts.
no subject
[Now, give him a second to flick through to where he's marked points of interest....]
The first thing that stood out to me was the fact that none of the couples who responded were made up of a pair of the same blessing. If we think about the traits of each one, that does make sense. It's something I would have assumed to be true, but it's interesting to see that your data reflects it. What makes me curious, however, is if a Cordis/Cordis couple could exist. It's the blessing I know the least about, and it doesn't seem to have the possessive/needy traits of Sanguis and Iris respectively. That would be interesting to find out. As would the discovery of any Sanguis/Sanguis or Iris/Iris pairings!
My next point...actually, before I get into my next point, why don't you tell me your thoughts on what I said above? No need to rush!
no subject
[Now look, he's gone and gotten Actually Embarrassed.]
Yeah, that data isn't there because...I didn't ask about it. In the, uh. In the survey, I only asked for people from different moonblessings. I figured I'd do a separate survey for same-type ones, I guess, just to keep it more narrow.
no subject
Ah, well, that makes sense! See? Every theory eventually has an answer, even if it's not the one you expect!
[All's well that ends well!]
Now that would be an interesting survey. Let me ask you though, Jotaro! What do you think the results of that survey would be, based on what you've seen in this one and your general knowledge of the moonblessings? Would we see a lot of same-blessing couples, or would they be rarer? Tell me your thoughts.
no subject
[It shouldn't make him feel so...thrilled — in the literal sense of the word, an actual thrill that chases down his spine — to be taken so seriously like this, but it does. Talking to the professor isn't anything like those damn teachers at school that he was always throwing out in disgust. This one, he's encouraging and thoughtful, and he doesn't leave you feeling stupid even when you probably ought to.]
I think...it would probably be pretty rare to find two Sanguises together. Not impossible, but it seems like Sanguis does better with one of the other ones to offset it. Iris and Iris would probably work out fine, since if they both need affection they could just get it from each other. And Cordis seems pretty versatile, so maybe two Cordises would sort of...adapt to each other?
no subject
[Sycamore may not be privy to Jotaro's internal monologue, but he is most welcome regardless ♥ learning is meant to be fun!]
You would know more about the nature of Sanguis than me, obviously, but from what I've observed, and am therefore assuming, having two territorial and aggressive people paired off would definitely make for some friction. What a fiery pair of lovers, though, if it did work! It would be fascinating to study, if we were to encounter such a couple. I think your thoery sounds correct, however; it naturally makes more sense for a Sanguis to pair off with one of the two other, calmer blessings.
As for Iris pairs and Cordis pairs, I definitely think the latter would be possible! Cordis - again, I am making an assumption based on your data, which is important to note! - seems to give personality traits that don't seem overly focused on other person, if that makes sense. Iris, on the other hand....well! That one I can definitely speak of with some accuracy. It certainly wouldn't be the healthiest relationship - codependency would become a problem very quickly, I can imagine - but it would not surprise me if one formed.
[Now, back to the cross-blessing pairings...]
But if we look at the information you have collected, it seems that Sanguis definitely leans towards Iris, in terms of partners. Your boyfriend is Iris, no? You've spoken fondly of your relationship before, so you two could be a real life example of the trend in action!
no subject
Sanguis: Independent | Other-Focused
Cordis: Independent | Self-Focused
Iris: Dependent | Other-Focused
Does that make sense? Sanguises focus on other people (possessiveness, aggressiveness) and the way it manifests is outward, independent. Cordis focuses on themselves (hunger) but the way it manifests is independent. Iris focuses on others but they're dependent in the way they need affection.
So if there were one more, a fourth moonblessing, it seems like it would be Dependent | Self-Focused. ...Whatever that would mean.
no subject
Ah, what an intriguing point! You're right! It's almost as if they are unbalanced, without a fourth blessing!
[he has no idea what this could mean, but just try and stop him hurtling down this trail!]
Which lines up exactly with the results of the survey, almost...Sanguis/Iris and Cordis/Iris make up the bulk of the pairings, while there is only one lonely Sanguis/Cordis pairing! It would make sense, if we use your definitions...two 'independent' blessings that might struggle to work together as a couple!
This is fascinating, Jotaro!
no subject
Maybe that's why Cordises would work best as a same-couple pairing, too. Because they're both self-focused, so their satisfaction isn't dependent on someone else...or something.
Maybe that's the next step? Run the same-pairing survey and see if the results pan out?
no subject
[...
ah]
Although I suppose we can't really ask the network to tell us their intimate relationship troubles, can we? Even if it is in the name of science, that would be a little bit rude!
no subject
no subject
So perhaps we can aim to obtain data that talks about negative same-blessing relationship experiences, but frame it in such a way that we do not accidentally offend someone who could provide us with a particularly excellent response! What do you think?
no subject
[OH THAT'S RIGHT the people responding to his surveys have feelings. Right. Yes. Right.]
Sure, I...guess that would make more sense. How would you frame it, though?
no subject
Let's break it down. We want to focus on potential relationship problems, but don't want people to feel like we're asking them to spill their interpersonal drama to the network. Anonymity for respondents is obvious, but for the questions...
...how about something like 'Does your relationship undergo any changes when your moon is active? Positive changes or negative changes? Could you elaborate on your answer to the above?' etc. What do you think?
no subject
...But.
I guess I can see how your way would get better results.
