so a few days ago i made this post in which i hypothesised that the mcelroy brother a fan first clicked with was likely to be the brother that shared their position as a sibling (so for example i am an oldest sibling and i got justin’s humour best first)
let’s look at the responses. to begin with, the raw data:
total participants: 66
total only children: 7
total with siblings: 59
total matching sibling: 39
total different sibling: 20
now let’s look at it in pie chart form! (note that these only include participants with siblings)
and for each brother…
conclusion: there does seem to be
a trend of fans with siblings preferring the brother that matches their
position. it is my reasoning that this is the case because a person’s sibling position can have a lot of bearing on how they are socialised, so they will often be drawn to others with similar socialisation. the trend is marked with justin and griffin, but much less so with travis. this could be due to the fact that middle siblings were much less prevalent among the respondents.
there does not seem to be a trend
in which brother only children prefer.
evaluation: this data is from a
very small sample size and cannot be considered infallible. more data points
may show different trends. to improve next time, i would consider having equal numbers of oldest, middle, youngest and only children in my sample to remove the weighting against travis.
a supplementary conclusion: i have realised while collating this data that i have far too much time on my hands and need to go outside more. the excuse i gave myself that it would give me practice writing up practicals for my biology a-level is lukewarm at best. and now i’m going to have a driving lesson.
ok but hayley kiyoko wrote girls like girls bc liking girls was the thing she was most insecure about and now three years later she makes as many gay music videos as she can, accepts the title of lesbian jesus and gets half the world to call 2018 20gayteen like. what kinda character development.
“I am wearing a vintage jacket with a Madewell turtleneck layered with a vintage Harley Davison shirt, Calvin Klein pinstripe trousers, and my favorite white Doc Martens. My style is eclectic, and I tend to mix and layer a lot of silhouettes, patterns and textures. My current style inspiration are actually Bratz dolls from when I was a child! I tend to go for clothes that I feel comfortable in because if you feel good, you look good. My current favorites are green (especially that PANTONE green color of 2017), my friends and their personal styles, Rihanna, and 90s silhouettes.”
“I am wearing a 70’s Japanese wool two piece set I found thrifting in Virginia, vintage shades, Nike Airs, and a mini vintage Chanel bag. I dress according tomy mood. I tend to serve drastically different looks day to day. Currently I’m inspired by construction workers, hunters, dandies, and clowns. Been rocking lots of oversized graphic t-shirts, camo and utility wear. Soon I will be getting dressed for outer space.”
“I’m wearing a vintage blazer and vintage 1980’s earrings, a thrifted dress, fuzzy socks, Superga platform sneakers, and Pat McGrath lipstick. I am inspired by anything that is different, other, or irregular. I tend to gravitate towards edgier accessories, structured pieces, and menswear. I primarily buy vintage or second hand pieces to avoid supporting fast fashion corporations and the cycle of waste within the fashion market. My favorite young brand is Y/Project, and I’m obsessed with vintage Margiela. My style icon is Edie Sedgwick – short hair..bold earrings..makeup.”
“I’m wearing vintage jacket and trousers, a bag from Gucci and shoes from Zara. I love shopping for vintage but I am also always in search of new and upcoming designers and love mixing old and new. My current favorites are Edun, Pari Desai & Phelan.”
“I got the vintage top from Search & Destroy, trousers from Stussy. My style is different every day, based on my mood. I have different moods such as sadness, cool girl, sleepy, princess… Today I feel colorful. I love Maison Margiela, BBS, and also streetwear brands. I also love vintage, you can always find the best stuff in a vintage shop.”
take time to figure it out
