how lenore seems to think theyre moving

[straightasaaro]

Anabel and Lenore have the richest upbringings

Montresor? A drifting charlatan outlaw who is estranged from his family. Duke? Street magician who is from an oppressed minority. Pluto? Works at a carnival and his dad spends all their money on alcohol. Will? Farmer family with too many kids who are going through the Dust Bowl. Prospero? Doctor from an oppressed minority. Morella? Nun. Berenice? Has to rely on a sugar daddy and from an oppressed minority. Ada? Servant. Eulalie? Her dad can buy a house, but they're from an oppressed minority.

Anabel and Lenore grew up with servants. They lived in manors. They're white. Lenore's dad owns a railroad company, Anabel's family has enough money to go overseas in brand new, luxury ships.

there's no actual point to this post btw, I just finished my reread and thought this was interesting

NEVERMORE CHARACTER ANALYTICS (by number of appearances) (as of episode 161)

there are a lot of notes for understanding how i took these measurements at the end of the post--relevant to read, I think, because some of my policies are pretty arbitrary--but the most important thing to keep in mind is that this is per-episode, not within-episode. So there is no differentiation provided between a character who speaks in 1 panel and a character who speaks in 10 panels. A more accurate measurement would go per-panel, but I love myself too much to deal with all that. Also, I am lazy, so no fancy infographics, you get screenshots of my formatted data from Google sheets. Anyways without further ado;

Full Series (1-161)

Intro+Labyrinth Arc (1-25)

Forming Alliances+Mystery Manor Arc (26-64)

Cask of Amontillado Arc+End of S1 (65-108)

Wild Hunt Arc (109-154)

Data Notes

• "Speaking appearance" applies to speech, but also other verbal sound effects like crying, gasping, or laughing even if they do not speak any actual words during the episode (ie; Annabel crying in the closet at the end of episode 101 is counted as speaking). It counts proper flashbacks, but does not count disembodied quotations.

• "Unspeaking" means they are visually present in the episode, but do none of the above. This includes flashbacks where the character is fully illustrated (ie; the panel with Duke and Pluto in ep 127) and background cameos (Duke and Morella in ep 3)

• "Mentioned" means the character is specifically mentioned by name, obviously alluded to (ie; all those times Lenore panics about Annabel during the wild hunt arc), appears in a more general flashback where they are not fully illustrated (ie; Eulalie Duke and Pluto being only in silhouette during the misfits blood pact flashback in ep 133), or is quoted in a disembodied way (Montresor's deal in ep 125)

• The order of priority: speaking>unspeaking>mentioned

• When Will is transformed into another character, I count it as a Will appearance and a [character] mention

• when Annabel hallucinates Lenore i count it as a Lenore unspeaking appearance, because she is illustrated but her words are entirely Annabel's

• Also I am very fallible there's a chance I made some errors in either counting or following my own rules, but I'm 100% sure the margin of error is no more than like 2 or 3 per character, not enough to change overall trends

(finally, hi to the people who said they'd be interested in this! @straightasaaro @gelatinefishy @yawnwhatyadoing @crows-keep @cherrybearryy )

My personal notes: shocked at Morella and Pluto's high rates of appearance, surprised at Prospero's low rates of appearance

#HATERGANG

[beadaru]

montresor spends the series systemically making PERSONAL enemies of every major character except william one by one and it just makes me laugh

Morella: the "get on your knees" incident

Lenore: immediately when they first met

Annabel: the "let's kill lenore" incident

Berenice and Eulalie: the "egregious misogyny in the manor dimension" incident

Duke: the "trapping duke in a wall to die" incident

Pluto: the "punching pluto in the eye for interrupting his hookup with ada" incident

Prospero: every time they've ever spoken but especially the "being annoying as fuck after breaking his leg" incident

Ada: the "being rude to her as she was falling into a coma" incident

[beadaru]

I wonder if other students at nevermore are getting into knife fights and stuff between classes or it's just the main characters who have problems

[beadaru]

William finding his rage over Monty is so fucking funny every time he earnestly thinks hes capable of being an alpha protective booktok boyfriend

[beadaru]

I love when he gets hateful in general

[beadaru]

MONTRESOR. YOU GOTTA CUT IT OUT I CANT KEEP MAKING THE SAME POST

[beadaru]

Hottest annabel lee panel to date lowkey

[beadaru]

William finding his rage over Monty is so fucking funny every time he earnestly thinks hes capable of being an alpha protective booktok boyfriend

[beadaru]

Soooo desperate for more of Eulalie and Duke's dynamic because I get the vibe he kind of finds her annoying despite their great chemistry

[beadaru]

kawaii comp

[beadaru]

william #thenoticer wilson

the fact that *will's* voice and nickname snaps montresor out of his concussed daze

WHO'S "THEM"

[beadaru]

I'm gonna make a spreadsheet of how prominent each nevermore character is (as measured by whether they have speaking appearances, unspeaking appearances, or mentions by other characters within an episode). Would anybody be interested in seeing the results should I post them

[beadaru]

Those deleted ep 85 willtresor scenes. any other patreon members available to kill themselves over them with me

[beadaru]

say what you might about the man's intelligence but he DOES have his degree in monty-ology. Monty is, in fact, highly resistant to replacing him
