Yo, Kaudia (Kasef/Claudia) shippers, I don't really go here, I just saw some of your stuff despite being few in between and thought it looked cute (I don't really have a ship preference, I'll literally ship almost anything as long as it's not inappropriate or if it's a gay character in a straight relationship), but may I offer you *presents dinner platter and opens lid* a Kaudia Hadestown au? And the Virrow shippers can even feast here too because *lifts another dinner platter lid with a flourish* Virrow Hades and Persephone au, anyone?

Rarepair Rumble Round 3

Click here to cast your vote for your favorite ships!
Welcome back to Rarepair Rumble! We have finally entered round 3 out of 7! Weāre down to 32 ships (out of the original 128).
Here are some new things:
I made a smaller tournament table, which is way easier to follow. I will update it starting with round 3 and will include a link in every new post. I will continue to update the full table as well.
I also made a tournament table with ship pictures! It also starts from round 3. I made it, cos it looks fun cā:
(bigger version)
Thereās also an extra question in the voting form - Iām curious to know which social media platforms people see the link to the form most often and least often. And how different platforms vote. The question is voluntary and Iām only asking it for more fandom statistics.
And finally - those of you who want to play around and make your own predictions for the tournament can download the google spreadsheet file from my google drive. Itās basically the same file as the new tournament table.
If you have any questions - donāt hesitate to contact me! ^u^

Result Discussion: Favorite Ships (part 2)
Results for Favorite Ships Ā· Results for Total Ships Ā· Discussion Part 1 Ā· Discussion Part 3 Ā· Ship list
CW: This discussion contains mentions of three ships which some people might not be comfortable with (sibling incest and adult/teen relationships). Only their shipnames are mentioned - the nature of these relationships is not discussed in any way.Ā
Some terminology:
I will refer to the Total Ships as TS and Favorite Ships as FS.
The method I decided to use
So hereās a method, which, albeit less intuitive, is still more accurate.
My boyfriend suggested normalizing the ranks, i.e. making the ranks of both lists proportionally equivalent.
This means that there is no need to manually group anything together and it doesnāt matter if we have two lists of 14 vs 40 ranks or 14 vs 40 000 ranks.
This method still has issues of its own:
not as straightforward to interpret;
ships appear to have fallen in rank even though they didnāt (esp. for Janaya and Ruthari).
This is the formula that we used:
where
r_n is normalized rank;
r is the current rank of a given ship;
R is the lowest possible rank of a list.
So, for example, if we normalize Gremayaās rank in the FS list, itāll be:
where
5 is Gremayaās current rank in the FS table;
14 is the lowest possible rank for FS.
Just like with a regular rank, the normalized rank is highest when its numerical value is lowest.
This is what we got:
bigger table, comparing different stats
You can see that the very first place (Rayllum) remains the same for both lists, as well as the very last place (everything ranked 100). My boyfriend also suggested adding a color scale - the darker the color, the higher the shipās rank.
I also colored some of the ships:
light blue means the relative rank of the ship has not changed;
green means the ship has risen in rank;
white means the ship has dropped in rank;
yellow means the ship has massively dropped in rank (by at least 40 points).
I felt that it was important to point out the very huge falls, because many of them nicely correspond with some of my conclusions from the TS results (Iāll get to that in a sec).
I wouldnāt be myself if I hadnāt made a graph :D
bigger version (interactive)
I think this is the most intuitive visual representation of how different ships changed in rank:
the red dots are the ranks the ships had on the TS list;
the blue dots are the ranks they have on the FS list.
So that means:
red done above blue? - The ship fell in rank;
red dot only - the rank hasnāt changed;
red dot below blue? - The ship climbed up in rank.
Interestingly enough, only two ships actually improved their position!
Ships that havenāt changed rank and those that went up in rank
It is no surprise that Rayllum remained at rank #1 considering how much this ship is loved by the fans. Janaya and Ruthari didnāt move their position either, but the "weightā of their ranks slightly reduced in a smaller list of options.
Virex, Aarathari and Aaravum are the other ships that retained their position, but I think itās more of a coincidence than something systematic.
Because the FS list is so much shorter than the TS list, most ships appear to have dropped in position, even if they didnāt (such as Janaya and Ruthari). And that makes the two ships that went up even more interesting!
Sordia went up by 17.8 points and Raydium - by 2.5. Both are small ships with not many voters:
Sordia - 10 TS votes, 6 FS votes;
Raydium - 3 TS votes, 2 FS votes,
yet the voters are pretty consistent - the majority of people who voted for these ships in TS chose them as their favorite ships. Sordia is particularly impressive in this regard, seeing how incredibly loyal its shippers are!
Ships which fell in rank the most
I chose the ships that fell by at least 40 points. The list is arranged from the biggest fall to the smallest:
Sabos fell by 84 points
Harrai fell by 76 points
Laidrin fell by 74 points
Grenvus fell by 51 points
Corpeli fell by 48 points
Kaudia fell by 48 points
Kasren fell by 41 points
We can immediately see that the top three ships were in the top 10 on the Total Ships list and they fell the most. It makes sense when you think about why these ships got so high in the first place. In addition to my vague word choice in the original questionnaire, these ships are either canon (Harrai, Laidrin) or include side characters that are not part of any popular ships (Sabos, Corpeli).
Sabos is especially fascinating, as itās not only a non-canon ship, itās a ship involving characters that got their names from fans! They do have a scene together that could be seen as āshippyā, which explains why so many people jumped on that wagon as opposed to, say, Sorcos.
The same goes for Corpeli. Gren and Corvus are canonically friends, but they donāt have any significant scenes together, while Corvus literally holds Opeliās hand.
Speaking of Grenvus (and also - Kaudia and Kasren), they werenāt as high on the Total Ships list as the aforementioned ships, but all of them seem to have fallen from roughly the middle to the bottom of the list. I guess they just donāt have large fanbases.
Thatās it for part 2 - stay tuned for part 3!
Rarepair Rumble Round 2AB
(Info about the event) (List of participating ships) (1D results)
Click here to cast your vote for your favorite ships!
Welcome back to Rarepair Rumble! We are finally entering round 2, which means 64 ships out of our initial 128 have left the competition.
Round 2 will be divided into two parts: 2AB and 2CD (the letters stand for different blocks of the tournament table).
The voting will go as usual with one alteration - I added a third voting option - āI donāt want to vote for either of these ships. A friend on on Discord pointed out that although you can skip the pairs you donāt care about or donāt like, the power of the binary choice makes it hard to skip them, getting the person stuck on making a choice. And it does make sense - I definitely feel that I want to make a choice whenever Iām presented with it, even if I donāt have an opinion on the subject matter.
The extra option also gives me some statistics on which ship pairs people donāt want to vote for.
Hereās an example of a ship pair with three possible answers:
Everything else will be done as usual.

You can see this roundās competing ships under cut. This time, there arenāt any ships I would consider problematic, however some of the ships have been the subject of heated debates.
The ships in question are Ruren (Runaan x Soren) and Calren (Callum x Soren). I donāt see these ships as problematic, but I respect peopleās decision not to interact with them.
