Chasing Rainbows

“Customer Service, how can I help you?” “Oh hello, I wonder if you can. We have an existing booking with connecting flights in Lisbon, but we’re a little bit worried about the short connection time at Lisbon Airport. Is it possible to change just the first flight, the one from Heathrow to Lisbon?” He asks for our booking reference, then goes quiet. Canned music messes with my ears for a while…

Favorite DnP Tour Song Statistics

Settle round, little ducklings, do I have some statistics to share with you all!!

A grand total of 156 people participated in this survey, so thank you if you took the time to fill it out! 🧡

As a teaser, here’s a pie chart of the votes for your favorite song! We’ll be discussing this in depth in its own section but I know some of you f*ck vibe with pie charts more than the bar charts I use there…

To give you a clear vision of what we’ll be looking at, here are the categories of the upcoming analysis:

Phandometrics (community growth on a viewership & fandom scale)

Favorite Song (general)

Favorite Song vs. Phandometrics (the main hypothesis!)

Honorable Mentions (fun little quirks I noticed along the way)

Ready? Time to read on.

PHANDOMETRICS

Lag between year started watching -> year joined the phandom. This can be seen most obviously in the 2009-2015 portion of the graph, likely when the community was just building up. I went back to check individual points, and many people seem to join a year or two after starting to watch.

Three distinct peaks of phandom growth: 2015 (dnp popularity peak), 2019 (coming out), and 2023 (dnpg comeback, dnp renaissance). Pretty expected, but still cool to see!

The difference between the peaks when you look at viewership vs. phandom is interesting though! Especially 2019 seems to be a huge spike in viewership, but the phandom growth seems a little more gradual (maybe more people lurked at first, then joined the phandom in 2023 once they were more active?).

The 2012 peak is really interesting. Most popular year to start watching from this sample, apparently!

FAVORITE SONG

"The Internet is Here" won 51.3% of the votes... which didn't surprise me all that much. It's iconic, okay?

II is about half as popular, and beyond the song qualities themselves, I wonder if a contributing factor to this pattern could be its lack of availability as an officially released song.

I think Everything's Fine is so low partially bc I closed the poll before WAD released to prevent the recency effect from skewing the data. (Especially because I thought we were getting "Everything's Fine (Acoustic)" smh.)

FAVORITE SONG VS. PHANDOMETRICS

By era...

I had a hypothesis: based on the year you joined, which I now realize in my head wrongly equated with the year you were most active in, you'd be more biased towards the song of that era bc a) you were more likely to go to the tour or b) epic nostalgia hit.

Yeah, I was wrong.

When you group the eras you see that TIIH wins in almost every single group by a similar proportion to the total, which means this attitude is fairly evenly distributed amongst the phannies.

By year...

Separating by year, you begin to see that, hold up, the hypothesis could have some merit! In either 2017 or 2018 on both graphs, the II finale actually does win.

The super high TIIH votes bleeding in from 2015/2016 and from 2019 seemed to mask this pattern.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

I have no idea what happened here but both ways you slice it, Interactive Introverts was fighting for its life amongst the 2012 phannies???

We got three phannies that have been watching since 2009!! The fact that people have been sticking around so long (up to fifteen years!!! and this was only a sample of 156 of us!!!) is really heartwarming for me bc it's a testament to how strong of a community dnp have built their viewership to be.

At the end of the day, what can I say? That was a lot of statistics. I hope you enjoyed or took something away from this little survey. Lmk if you notice any other cool trends or have any theories on what the data means!

Thank you for listening to my yapping; have an orange heart.

🧡

#OH ALSO GUYS I literally did all of the categorizing manually in order to make the clustered bar graphs. it was a pain. it was worth it.#dan and phil #dnp #we're all doomed #wad #phan #tatinof #interactive introverts #daniel howell #danisnotonfire #amazingphil #phil lester #ser does stats #ser shares #stats phannies; music phannies; data analyst phannies... this one is for you <3

I thought it was hilarious, at first, that everyone’s decided Doomguy is still the protagonist of MyHouse.wad. After all, it doesn’t really have much more to do with Doom than gmod has to do with Half-Life 2. But then I remembered, isn’t that a plot point of Doom II? Visiting the burnt out ruins of your hometown on your way to the portal to Hell? Why couldn’t Doomguy take a few minutes to have a nightmare of an emotional journey in a childhood friend’s home to come to terms with everyone and everything he ever loved being destroyed?

#doom #myhouse.wad #lines i did #just to be clear i still do think its very funny that its been unanimously decided that dg is the protagonist of myhouse.wad #man has been fighting demons for thirty years and what does he get for his thirtieth birthday? more demons #except this time theyre mental and emotional demons #myhouse.wad does deserve all the popularity its getting tho #like.. yeah its amazing in its atmosphere n stuff #but its also nuts on a purely technological level #stepped inside the house the first time and just had to stop for a sec bc is that a hecking. BASEMENT?? a SECOND FLOOR in CLASSIC DOOM????#that shouldnt even be POSSIBLE.#(i mean. it obviously IS possible w clever use of various teleport effects. but still. it was a bit of a :O !!!!!!! moment)#setting a ridiculously high bar right off the bat and then following through for the rest of the game in meeting it #anyway. it was really good.#i guess in this case the good end would be more of a metaphorical/mental state?#being at peace internally as u go to voluntarily enter the depths of hell...#or something like that; anyway. idk man i am still just going :eyes: at the whole thing

The Land of Ooo in Shermy and Beth's time feels barren...deserted...empty...dusty...devoid...depressed...lonely...melancholy...dead. BMO has forgotten Finn's name. Finn and Jermaine's statues have crumbled down, the old hero forgotten. The Candy people are stuck in the capsules of a giant gumball machine. It seems like everyone, particularly the pups, Jake's descendants, are leaving the planet. Everything's gone. Everything we know, everything we thought we could depend on seeing when we turned on the screen, all abandoned and grayed out as we realize that Finn and Jake have been forgotten, along with almost everything else that might've happened in Adventure Time. This land, this washed-out future we have stepped into it, is entirely different, with only an echo, a shadow, the sound of a laugh, remaining from a thousand years ago for us to notice and point out to each other as drowning people pointing out lifelines to our fellow victims.

"What remains, tell me what remains, some loser smashed out your brains..."

#sorry shermy and beth's world isn't all doom and gloom there are cheerful things about it but i'm in a sentimental mood and when i'm #in a sentimental mood i tend to ramble and try to find a million different adjectives.#so what are your headcanons for what marcy and bonnie are up to?#i theorize Marcy was the figure on the stone duck and those pink hands clinging to the bars of ice were Princess Bubblegum #and Marcy's trying to save Bonnie so they can celebrate their thousandth anniversary in peace #those things are seen in the intro btw #i know i'm like five years late to the whole finale hype but.......#who cares? (:#shermy and beth #adventure time finale #come along with me #adventure time

1899: a commentary

I am looking respectfully at your Hollow Ground 😳 What do u think Damien's relationship with him is gonna be? 💞💖

I've been breaking HG's nose for the majority of my playthroughs for the hell of it. But I loved going deep into his mind and go fishing for a moray so I'm thinking to have that over in my save state.

Damien will definitely be curious about what happened and wouldn't be able to keep a mystery like that unsolved. If HG still seeks Damien's partnership in Book 3 (which I hope he still does), Damien would be inclined to agree in order to take advantage of HG's resources, investigate their connection, and maybe do a bit of spying for our local glorified power bank (he did promise to help after all).

What might bite him in the ass, however, is whether HG would pursue a more familial relationship with Damien...

He'd be a fool not to take advantage of their sort-of blood connection to further infiltrate HG's ranks. Getting buddy-buddy with HG might make him feel like he's wearing a dead person's skin and living their life, but he's always been good at playing roles (plus it's HG, so no harm, no foul when Damien ends up betraying him). The problem is if Damien would end up actually liking the role he's playing.

He had to act human to fulfill his missions and liked it a bit too much that he escaped The Farm. He didn't really trust the previous Rangers and Ortega all those years ago, yet he became comfortable playing hero, and now the loss of what he once had still hunts him. He swore never to make contact to the Rangers again but is now playing the role of a disillusioned retiree a bit too well and is being dangerously comfortable in their headquarters. He also planned to keep his relationship with Dr. Mortum purely transactional, yet now Jane and the good doctor are literal besties and drinking buddies.

If Hollow Ground wanted Damien to play the role of his brother and fall into the trap of finding a connection that makes him feel human, how would this be any different?

#the latter half is a whole load of “what if” but i hope we can explore this dynamic with HG #and that's assuming HG has an ounce of actual affection left for his dead bro #Damien's unconsciously desperate for human connection because deep inside he thinks it would make himself more “real”#he's just doomed to repeat his mistakes 😭😭#he has simple needs: just treat him like a decent human being and he'll eventually cave in #what a softie (derogatory)#the bar is on the fucking floor and we have The Farm to thank for it #fhr #fallen hero #hollow ground #damien becker #sidestep #anon #at #my art

finding out Ulder was distant from pretty much Wylls birth has left me only capable of thinking abt how lonely all of Wyll’s childhood stories are. he’s always alone in them and if his father ever makes an appearance, it’s to scold him.

no wonder he searched for mermaids and lead such a fantastical imagination. he was always alone and the only person he ever craved love and attention from was unreachable- even if he was physically there.

And now I’m reminded of a quote by Dennis Nurkse: in the park the child says: watch me. It will not count unless you see.

#ewbie.txt #quite literally doomed to never make him proud #like why is this kid at a bar getting his first kiss. why does his dad keep sending him to the sharess caress for notes when he has more #capable people around him. I swear it feels like he just couldn’t handle his son around him. maybe it was the guilt.#maybe he just wanted wyll to find something else to cling to that wasn’t him because he knew he couldn’t open up to his own kid #and then he sends him away. battered and maimed. instead of trying to understand what happened #miz literally knew what she was doing when she preyed after wyllyam she knew he was going to take her offer and she knew how to isolate him #BUT THEN HE KEEPS ALL HIS TREASURED MOMENTS IN A JOURNAL!! SECURED FROM EVERYONE!!#was it out of shame?? out of heartbreak??? could he not stand to see any mention of his boy!!!#ughhhhhhh everyone in wylls life failed him!!! everyone!!!

I am so tired of having anxiety. Idk if y'all know this but it's a real bummer. A downer even

#i want to eat multiple meals per day. i want to be able to focus on conversations #rattles bars of my enclosure let me plan for the future without crying. come on man #when the behaviors are erratic and the feeling of doom is constant. anyway #sometimes i'm like what if i stop believing i'll die before age 30 would i lose my unhinged charm #what if i'm like doing well someday but i get boring and don't say as many strange sentences

In the good version of supernatural that lives in my head, bobby and rufus are Divorced divorced instead of just hunting partners divorced and john and bobby fell out because during the divorce proceedings of 'rufus moves out and takes all his shit with him' john found out that they're queer and didn't want """"that"""" around his boys anymore.

#dean heard this argument; which involved newly divorced and upset about it bobby chasing john off with a shotgun; and was like.#well. since apparently being queer destroys your family i am actually the straightest cis man who has ever walked the earth.#also in the good version of supernatural that lives in my head bobby and rufus appear exactly as often as ellen and jo do post bar-burn #and ellen and jo appear exactly as often as bobby and rufus do post bar-burndown.#all of these people are doomed so give ellen the screentime for the love of god i hate it here.#f: supernatural #m: supernatural #'why is john homophobic in the good version of supernatural that lives in your head' because i'm a fucking genius that's why.

the fact that kendall seemed to be the only one actually trying to make connor feel better before mattson called him.....roman was doing his thing cracking mean-spirited jokes because he can't just be sincere, which made connor feel worse and shiv was either silent or dismissive??? yeah im fine im okay im fine

#maybe im stoned and misreading but i feel like kendall was definitely like.....leading the charge #even though they are all doomed i really do believe that kendall is the most emotionally intelligent #i feel like he is the most sensitive of all of them #yes he lacks self awareness and the bar is on the floor but #im not sure why this is but perhaps it's because when connor wasnt around he was the protector/'father' figure to his siblings #so he is used to doing that?#kendall roy #connor roy #roman roy #shiv roy #sucession spoilers #succession
