TDP BATTLE SHIPS COMING SOON!!!

[amiti-art]

Marcos and Sabah 💕

[horns-n-jams]

A pile of sketches and doodles and ideas and that I will later finish, well some of these I might

1. Sketch/Doodle of Gren and Amaya sharing a quick kiss before getting back into their duties.

2. I posted to twitter of my headcanon about, the sunfire elfs name that helped Marcos up after the fight. The name was Sabah and Aaron gaved me idea for their shipname; what is now a Sabos. I love them.

3. Kazi studying while Zaltana naps on them. Sortly about Zaltana who is character for fic I am working on currently (well on two buttt she is introtused in the Raven Totem that I will start posting first as I get the general idea done) Is Earthblood elf, really really ancient and old generation of earthblood elfs that vanished meny years a go, well except of Zaltana, who was prisoned in ruins of the old fallen earthblood kindom what happened there? Zaltana doesn’t know, she has no memories how she even got inprisoned, or how long it has been. Shes really grumby untrusting elf. She was freed by Corvus and Ella (another oc, main girl for the Raven Totem fic) freed her from the prison she was in and showed her care after so long time. In somepoint of her recovery she meets Kazi, who heared that she was part of the earthblood elfs that still spoke the old language and had own runes and so on, so Zaltana took Kazi to the runes and to the old libary that still had all books, and Kazis honest exitement and intrest on her past and well her culture, made her instantly fall in love with them. Soft and cute.

4. I just really think Lujanne and Opeli would make an amazing couple like hh I love them.

5. Queen Janai, her wife queen Britta and their son prince Arun. I am working on these sketches as into Royal paintings of these 3 so yeah~

6. Ruthari sketch inspirated from cosplay by lucius_deahrel and marik_deahrel they are both so sweet and amazing and I really wanna finish this up.

7. Just Janai with her cute gf Britta uwu

8. Another gremaya kiss that I wanna finish and acctually have idea how so yeeesss, I live for them.

Result Discussion: Total Ships (part 1)

Click here for the list of ships by popularity. 

A note on terminology:

I will be using terms “sister ship” and “related ship” instead of “rival ship”, because I don’t like to see ships from the perspective of rivalry. Many people are perfectly capable of multi-shipping the same character in multiple ships.

I will often refer to Rayllum, Janay and Ruthari and “the trio” or “the top trio”.

I will often refer to Rayllum, Janay, Ruthari, Harrai, Laidrin and Anneha as “the canon six”.

If you aren’t familiar with any of the ship names, please refer to the ship list.

I have to say, I was very surprised by the results. I knew Rayllum, Janaya and Ruthari are the top three most popular ships, but I didn’t know there was such a huge difference between. If the difference doesn’t seem big looking at the table, check out this graph instead 

(click here for enlarged version)

Rayllum is the absolute biggest ship, followed by Janaya, Ruthari and Harrai, all of which tower over the rest of the ships. Not only that, but Harrai being so high up on the list is also surprising.

The fans of Rayllum, Janaya or Ruthari are also very likely to like all three. The big trio is part of what many fans refer to as the “Canon Six” (Rayllum, Janaya, Ruthari, Harrai, Laidrin and Anneha) and I noticed that fans of any of those ships generally like the other five as well. I will discuss this further in a future post.

I would like to focus on the Top 11 ships first

At first, I found the ones colored yellow surprising because of how little content fans produce of them compare to some ships that scored lower on popularity, with an exception of Anneha - being the first canon lesbian couple they got a lot of tribute posts in the beginning of the show.  Sabos and Swordjanne are the most surprising of the bunch, I’d say.

The reason these ships score so high is most likely because they involve characters generally liked by the fandom and they don’t “interfere” with the main trio. I also wonder if they’d score this high if I hadn’t included them in my initial list. Would people care enough to include them on their own? None of these ships were particularly popular in the “favorite ship” category. Corpeli was selected by 6 people, Harrai and Laidrin - by 3 people, Sabos - by 1, Anneha and Swordjanne - by none.

Here, the fault is entirely my own, since my question was very general: “Which of these ships do you ship?” That opens a whole new discussion on what it means to ship something:

is this a ship that doesn’t bother you?

do you like that ship, enjoy seeing content of it?

do you actively seek out content of this ship?

do you produce your own content for it?

is this a ship you love?

All of these are valid reasons to say you “ship” something, I think. Although it does skew my results a bit, it still shows that the show is full of ships that are generally liked by many fans.

What about Viravos and Gremaya?

These two happen to be the most popular non-canon ships with active fans. Although Viravos does not clash with any of the ships in the Canon Six, it features characters, which are generally liked more by older fans of the show. Gremaya, on the other hand, is a sister ship to Janaya, which is the only Canon Six related ship to get this high.

Think about other shows you know. Think about the most popular ships. Very often, there is some sort of “love triangle” on top, isn’t there? In Naruto, there was Naruto x Sasuke vs Sasuke x Sakura. In Bleach there was Ichigo x Rukia vs Ichigo x Renji, in Avatar there was the infamous war between Zuko x Katara and Katara x Aang. You know what I mean, right? But here, the top eight ships just run side-by-side and only the ninth ship is related to one of the main ones.

The closest sister ship to Rayllum (rank #1) is at #16.

The closest sister ship to Janaya (rank #2) is at #9.

The closest sister ship to Ruthari (rank #3) is at #25.

The closest sister ship to Harrai (rank #4) is at #12.

Both Viravos and Harrai are sister ships to Virrow.

So what conclusions can we draw here? To be honest - I’m not sure. Here are some questions I’ve been pondering on:

What does this result say about Rayllum, Janaya, Ruthari and Harrai? Does it mean these ships are somehow “stronger” or more “developed” than the ships in other shows?

What influence does being canon have on the popularity of these ships? For instance, Runaan x Soren was fairly popular before we learned of Ethari’s existence and his his relationship to Runaan.

Why is Janaya’s sister ship so much closer in rank than Rayllum or Ruthari’s? Is it because Amaya has a strong bond with more characters her age than Raylla, Callum, Runaan or Ethari?

The last one made me think about the interpersonal relationships of various characters. I will make a post in a future comparing different sister ships and discussing character interactions on-screen.
