hi everyone i'm a huge nerd that loves data analysis, so i decided to go through erin's blorbo powerpoint to see the trends! here they are:

most common media type: characters from video games were the most common, by a lot, followed by characters from minecraft rp and anime characters. to clarify a few things: "ttrpg" refers to characters from table top roleplaying games of all forms (see: jrwi, critical role, dnd ocs, etc), "youtube" refers to vtubers while actual real people youtubers (scott the woz, slimecicle, etc) are under "earth. like real life." "fic" encompasses all AUs. and "tumblr" only has one entry, sneegsnag.

most common medias: these are all the series' with 5 or more characters represented on the powerpoint. unsurprisingly, hermitcraft and dream smp are at the top, with 20 and 18 entries respectively.

age distribution: the majority of your blorbos are adults. "?" refers to characters with no canon age, and who cannot reasonably be assumed to be adults. it also applies to ageless characters, like gods or robots.

pronoun distribution: the overwhelming majority of your blorbos are he/hims! its not even fucking close!

human vs nonhuman: please be aware that this might not be 100% accurate, i do not know all of these characters, so i might have labeled a nonhuman as a human if they looked human. this is very rough

human: 55%

nonhuman: 30%

?: 15%

the most common nonhuman entries were robots, followed by cookies (cookie run), demons, and pokemon.

repeats: the rules said not to repeat characters but i think we all know how that went. here are the characters that had more than one slide

bdubs (hermitcraft/3rd life/last life): 3 slides

goodtimeswithscar (hermitcraft/3rd life/last life): 3 slides

jonathan sims (the magnus archives): 2 slides

ethoslab (hermitcraft/3rd life/last life): 2 slides

jade harley (homestuck): 2 slides

xerxes break (pandora hearts): 2 slides

br'aad vengolor (just roll with it): 2 slides

abed nadir (community): 2 slides

Hey CCs on Tumblr!! Please stay quiet about us especially on Twitter! We thrive because we are smaller and toxic fans are less likely to find themselves here. If the Twitter crowd invades us it’ll throw off the balanced ecosystem and there really isn’t another place like Tumblr out there

[transcript:

Krinios: —straight up don’t believe you.

Looting: It’s not.

Krinios: Okay, I believe you.

Electra: Alright, so, analyze the slide and try and come up with something.

Looting: Okay. Is— okay, okay, I’m—question: is this—where it says, “Oxenfree,” is that like the game or series they’re from?

Electra: Yes, yes.

Looting: Okay..

Isa: Yes, this is—this is something Axo likes by the way, so.

Looting: Okay. Aw, he’s gonna be so mad, okay.

Isa: Here you go, Looting.

Looting: Alright, I’m ready.

Electra: Go.

Looting: This is Jonas, he’s 19, and his mom and dad were tragically killed in a sewer mining incident. And—don’t laugh, it’s not funny. And—

Krinios: Sewer mining?

Looting: Sewer mining. They were mining for— to make a sewer.

Krinios: Okay.

Looting: Uhh, ever since then, he’s always been afraid of [mic cuts out] he’s been afraid of sewers, since then. And with the help of that one friend on the left of him, they.. stop laughing, it’s not funny. They… they confront sewers together. And help him get over his fear.

Electra: Define “confront sewers.”

Looting (laughing): You go in front of a sewer and stand in front of it.

Electra: [laughs] They don’t even go inside of it? They just stand in front of it?

Looting (laughing): Yeah, that’s it—they just—Yeah, they just stand in front of it and see what happens.

Krinios: It’s too confrontational to go inside of the sewer. Let’s stand outside of it and look at it.

[Looting and Electra laugh]

Looting: And once he overcomes his fear, he becomes Oxenfree and then it like, ties back to the title of the thing. And that’s why he—

Isa: Holy shit, bro.

Electra: What does it mean to be “Oxenfree”?

Looting: I don’t fucking know, ask the developer. I didn’t come up with it.

Isa: No, it’s like—it’s like—based on like a—no, no, listen—it’s like, I may be cringe but I am free, it’s—it’s like that.

Electra: [laughs]

Looting: But I’m free, I’m a Oxenfree.

Krinios (overlapping): I am cringe, but I am free. I’ll never be based and that’s not cringe.

Electra: Dude, it’s like that one fucking episode of Spongebob where he’s on top of his—his house and he’s like, “I am cringe and I’m proud! I’m ugly and I’m proud!”

Krinios: He doesn’t say cringe!

[Everyone laughs]

Krinios: Spongebob on his house, going like, “I’m cringe!!”
