C3 Ship Stats, Year 2
Hey, look it's been two years of Bells Hells, so I'm back with more stats. You can see my previous post here - or just my stats tag.
First up, the overall top ships: Laudna/Imogen. Nothing else comes close, although there is an Ashrym peak (ship week), Dorym (start of Issylra arc), and FCG/Frida peak (canon) that cross over. Everything else is much lower. Cut off for view, Laudna and Imogen get a high point of 67 for episode 65 and going canon - only beat by the 73 fic peak of episode 34 and dying.
The top ships remain fairly stable from last year; Callowmoore swaps places with Ashton/Dorian, and FCG/FRIDA and Fearne/Imogen jump up to knock Fearne/Orym off the top, but these are pretty small changes.
Since the rest are too small to see... the individual character charts are hanging out below the cut!
Chetney Pock O'pea
Chetney's got some new ships! With the party split in episode 52, we introduce Deanna; there's only a handful of fics with her, but that's pretty significant with how little Chet there is. We can see the episode 58 peak for the threesome, but once the party reunites there's not much of staying power.
Other than that, uh, Fearne/Chetney remains the top Chet ship by a longshot. Nothing else to sya, really.
Laudna
So, Laudna and Imogen, huh.
Okay, actual notes - we get an all time high at 67 fics for their reunion / becoming canon in episode 65; they're back and forth over the next episodes although still consistently the highest ship not just for Laudna but for all of Bells' Hells. It's currently calming down, but we can see the
Compared to year one, we can more clearly see that Ashton/Laudna is the number two ship, with Laudna/Dorian having dropped well after his departure. Other than that, some Laudna/Dusk and the witch trio ot3, nothing else of note, and all much lower than Imogen.
Fresh Cut Grass
Speaking of ships going canon, hey, look, these robots are gay? Okay, more seriously, we can see a bit of Loveletters after FRIDA's introduction, but it hits its stride with their hand holding in episode 55, and has its largest spike after the Uthodern arc concludes. Unlike Deanna/Chetney(/Fearne), this coninues, and is the only FCG ship going on - although that was true well before FRIDA showed up.
Fearne Calloway
Fearne has been relegated to the same scale I used for Chetney (and previously FCG, with no peak higher than four - although hers remains much busier than any of them. Look at this mess. Callowmoore is definitely the strongest contender of the group, and the most consistent, although there's a decent showing with Imogen as well, especially immediately after the party split.
Aside from threesomes and Chetney, everything else is in one-fic peaks and hard to analyze.
Imogen Temult
Imogen and Laudna, nothing comes close. Again, the peak of them going canon is 67 fics, and they're consistently high for the next several weeks.
Imogen has less ships going on in the background than Laudna; really, it's just Fearne, and some three witches ot3 stuff, and a few one-fic peaks here and there.
Orym
Orym's got a decent battle between his three ships: Ashrym, Dorym, and his husband, who never gets the highest peaks but remains fairly constant.
Dorym is slightly higher for total this year, but it's much tighter compared to their overall, and for the past several weeks it's usually been more Ashrym than Dorym. The Ashrym peak is the result of a ship week event; the Dorym peak lines up with the start of the Issylra crew and the introduction of Deni$e.
In the background, we mostly see ot3 ships, with Dorian and various people; the EXU crew ot3 remains present even though there's very little Fearne/Orym solo.
Ashton Greymoore
So, Ashrym dominates; the peak is for a ship week event, but even then we see it strong. Callowmoore takes the spotlight while the party is split, but drops off once we move over to the Issylra crew, and is only just starting to pick up again.
Other than that, Laudna takes a decent showing before the Solstice, and is one of the only things to get higher than a single fic, even if it's not competitive with the top two.
Dorian Storm
Dorian, since his departure, has definitely lessened in the amount of fics, and is very much dominated by Orym and ot3 pairings including Orym. There are a handful of Ashton/Dorian fics as well, seperate from the ot3, but everything else is a scant few oneoffs.
As mentioned, we can see the big spike for the first episode of the Team Issylra arc, since then dropping down to lower normal values.
Other Guests
There's a tail of Dusk ships from last year, but the main show is our newbies from the party split.
FCG/FRIDA takes the cake by a longshot; Deanna/Chetney and Deanna/Chetney/Fearne are the only other ones to hit a 2 peak.
Other than that, we saw some Prism ships and Ashton/Denise, but nothing that's really had a presence, and all the ships have faded away since the guests departed.
Majority Ships
95% of Laudna's ships are with Imogen, and vice versa
76% of Dorian's ships are with Orym
71% of Chetney's ships are with Fearne
65% of FCG's ships are with FRIDA
64% of Orym's ships are with Dorian
56% of Ashton's ships are wih Orym
and there's no Majority with Fearne, but 47% for Ashton is the plurality
Compared to last year, these are pretty similar, the big change being FCG/FRIDA becoming the majority and Chetney going from 93% Fearne to 71% Fearne due to Deanna.
Platonic (&) Pairings
Laudna & Imogen (71% of Laudna, 67% of Imogen)
Orym & Dorian (67% of Dorian's)
Orym & Ashton
FCG & Ashton (75% of FCG's)
Fearne & Orym
Laudna & Ashton
Imogen & Orym
Imogen & Ashton
Laudna & Orym
Fearne & Imogen
Orym & Ashton rose a few rungs (with some quality time in Issylra, I imagine) and Laudna & Ashton rose a rung as well. Laudna & Orym and Fearne & Imogen replace Dorian's tags with Imogen & Ashton, as we move further away from his departure and again, party split quality time.
Most Romantic vs Most Platonic
This is calculated by Romantic ("/") fics divided by Platonic ("&") fics, with greater than 1 being more romantic and less than 1 being more platonic. As I've said previously, this is a little tenuous because many fics are tagged both & and / while, some intending it to be read platonically and many not.
Most Romantic
Laudna/Dorian (16.5)
Ashton/Dorian (5.7)
Fearne/Ashton (5.5)
Orym/Dorian (5.0)
Laudna/Imogen (4.3)
(the exact same group in the exact same order as last year!)
Most Platonic
Chetney/Laudna, Chetney/FCG, Chetney/Imogen, Laudna/FCG, and Dorian/FCG (no ship fics)
Laudna & Orym (0.03)
FCG & Orym (0.1)
FCG & Imogen (0.11)
Imogen & Ashton (0.15)
FCG & Ashton (0.16)
(We got more Chet ships to the list, and Laudna&Orym pushes Imogen & Orym off the top five by qualifying)
Most Contentious (closest to 1 / an even split):
FCG & Fearne (perfect 1.0)
Fearne & Imogen
Fearne & Dorian
Dorian & Imogen
Fearne & Laudna
(there's some rearranging, but Fearne & Laudna take Laudna & Ashton's place as a more even split)
