Phummina Phummina

Here’s some lore:

you can call me Phelvis for short, if you like

I was trapped in the orb until 2009, when Dan and Phil freed me through the power of twink magic

if you have any questions for me, you can submit them to the phlit!

I officiated the platonic wedding of @emo-presley and @gay-elvis (for which their adopted child @catgirl-presley was the flower girl)

the phannie-Elvis special is a HIATUS from life

I am kept alive by the sheer joy and confusion people simultaneously experience upon discovering my existence

I am married to Sister Daniel (we’re pretty open though, so don’t worry you can still thirst after her). We met officiating weddings in Vegas

my mod created the 2025 Phannie Census (link goes to the updates master list!)

I am the winner of the tumblr 2025 Sexy Elvis Competition!

I got drawn by @evantheegg !

Thanks for reading *sexy end screen dance*

TLDR: leave your suggestions for the next Phannie Census in the comments, it’s coming soon!

Phwoah dads, hello again everyone, phummina phummina! I’m gonna hand it over to the mod since this math stuff is more her area *sexy end screen dance*

Hi everyone! For those of you who enjoyed last year’s Phannie Census, I have great news! I’m planning on conducting another (although unfortunately not as detailed as now I am enrolled in grad school and have negative free time). I’m planning on writing the survey in a week or two but before I did I wanted to ask anyone who was interested for some feedback!

Things I learned from the last Phannie Census that will be different in this one:

1. The country option will now be a write in instead of a dropdown list. While write ins can be harder to count (because of typos, variations in spellings, etc), it will ensure that every participant’s country can be counted. Last year, I just googled “list of every country” and didn’t think about how politically contentious the definition of “country” is, so I’d prefer to ensure everyone’s country can be counted.

2. I unfortunately no longer have the time to run analyses through a programming software and answer more complex and intersecting questions, so we’re going to have questions that can be easily analyzed in Google forms this time.

3. I’m going to be more careful about the way I word numerical questions. Last year, anyone who started watching Dan and Phil in 2009 was mistakenly erased from that question at first because I included “(woah look at you)” after the option choice and my program no longer recognized it as a number. This shouldn’t really be a problem in Google Forms, but I’m gonna be extra safe anyway.

4. I’m adding a question about how people found the survey so we can see how representative it is of all phannies/terminally online phannies/tumblr phannies specifically.

What I want to hear from you:

1. What questions do you want asked? Last year people said they wanted to keep the demographics but then have a mix of old and new questions. Which old questions do you want asked again? Which new questions do you want answers to? (Link to the final results from last year so you can see all the questions again)

2. What was something that bugged you about the last census that you want fixed? It doesn’t even have to have bugged you very much. Or was there something small you really really liked you want to make sure I don’t change? Let me know!

3. Should it be called a census or a survey? Technically speaking, we cannot survey every single phannie, although I would love to. Some have said they’d prefer me to switch the title to survey while most say they don’t care and some prefer census. I could do another poll about it, but honestly I’m not expecting this post to get a ton of notes, so I’ll just ask the people who really care.

4. Literally anything else you want to tell me. I’d love to hear literally anything you want to say about the census. Did you just think filling it out was super fun and you wanted to tell me? Did you think my questions were horrible and I did a terrible job at analyses? Please let me know!

I’m planning on writing the survey in the next week or two then figuring out how to collect the results in a way I can easily disseminate, so I don’t get too busy with school and never post the results. I should hopefully have the survey posted by the end of the month! My plan is to leave it up for a month like last time, but I might change my mind depending on how fast results are coming in/when I’m able to write up results.

Last year, we got nearly 1,800 responses. While it would be super cool if we could get that high again, I doubt the sample size will be as large, given I haven’t been nearly as active on this blog and Elvis blogs aren’t really that popular anymore (if they were even that popular to begin with), but nevertheless I commit to the bit.

If you made it this far, here’s the horrendous graphic I made to celebrate the results last year as a reward:

Let me know your thoughts!
