On the killer graph, it was stated that Meenah killed 26 people, but I only recall her killing 12 characters (The alpha trolls). Are you counting her forking dream John? All the deaths caused by the Condesce? Where is the number coming from? Thanks!

oh ye sorry i made that post forever ago and really should have clarified better: all the death statistics are for every version of a character. since they’re the ones who actually played the game, i consider the dancestors to be the ‘alpha’ version of the ancestors. so yes, it’s counting the condesce too.

in all honesty though, saying who is responsible for a death is sometimes difficult and i’ve had like one or two corrections since then, so the killer graph is slightly off by a death or two.  the actual lists and victim stats are still all accurate tho!

[pointlesshomestuckstatistics]

Although Dave is responsible for most decapitations, doesn't he get decapitated once also?

if we’re talking about this dave:

i’m gonna say it doesn’t count since we never saw his his head actually come off. i think throat-slitting is much more likely, especially since it mirrors this:

[pointlesshomestuckstatistics]

In Homestuck deaths part one, you list rose fading into oblivion as a death, which is understandable, based on the phrasing. Only problem is that she merges with the other Rose from the main timeline, which she references in a much later panel (somewhere on the meteor I think). It's not really something that needs to be corrected, but I just felt it was worth mention that her death there is dubious.

i actually counted it as a dubious death in the graphs, i just forgot to say so in the original post. fixed now!

[pointlesshomestuckstatistics]

aaaa i haven’t posted in forever and i probably still won’t for a while cause life reasons, but here’s some really rad statistics someone else figured out!

A TL;DR:

John and Jade talk a lot like each other: look carefully. His most distinctive word is “Jade.”

Jade’s most distinctive word is “John.”

Rose speaks the most diversely of the betas. Her most distinctive word is “session.”

Dave curses the fifth most of any character. Unsurprisingly, his most distinctive word is “shit.”

The longer version

John’s lexical density (a rough measure of word diversity and thus vocabulary) is 8.9%, which is low for his corpus size of 34,000 words—he’s the second biggest talker in Homestuck after Karkat with 39,000 words. His cursing rate is 0.41%, which is low, and he prefers to use “shit.”

Jade’s LD is 10.6% from nearly 19,000 words, which is low. Compare John and Jade’s clouds and you’ll see the similarity in their speech. Her cursing rate is 0.12%, which is very low.

Rose’s LD is , 17.0% from about 21,000 words, which is higher than expected.. Her cursing rate is 0.16%, which is very low.

Dave’s LD is 12.6% from about 33,000 words, which is about average for this corpus size. He says the third most of any character in the web comic after John. If it’s not obvious, Dave’s cursing rate is very high at 2.27%. His lexical weapon of choice is f*ck, making up 40% of all his 758 verbal bombs so far.

All of the dialog was compiled as one big corpus to which each character was compared to using AntConc. The top five were chosen, ignoring any common or interjective words.

John’s most distinctive words are Jade, dad, Rose, Vriska, and guess.

Jade’s are John, password, woof, Bec, and frog. I usually prefer to remove onomatopoeic words but “woof” was too cute to not include. Most of the woofs come from the time she chased Jaspersprite down the hallway on the ship.

Rose’s are session, Kanaya, grist, question, and null. Three of them all refer to some part of Sburb: the kids’s session, grist of various sorts, and a null session.

Dave’s most distinctive words are shit, f*cking, f*ck, dude, and f*ckin. This makes it very apparent how much more he curses than the other betas.

Excluding John’s own cloud, John is the most frequently mentioned character in all of the other beta kids’ dialog.

Pesterlog Statistics: Act 3

The person who says the most is Rose again, but John beats her if you count writing.

[Act 1] [Act 2]

There are 5599 words spoken/written by characters in Act 3, spread between 21 pesterlogs, 3 commands, 5 letters, and 1 GameFAQ entry. (plus 1243 words from repeated pesterlogs).

The average pesterlog length is 235.8 words, with the longest at 620 words and the shortest at 5 words.

The most developed relationship is John and Rose (big surprise), with 7 pesterlogs and 1150 words (+192 in John’s letter) between them.

The least developed relationship is Dave and John, with 2 pesterlog and only 15 words between them, all said by Dave.

The most unbalanced relationship is Dave and Jade, which doesn’t have a quantifiable ratio because it’s just Dave rambling at Jade for 283 words with no reply.

The most balanced relationship is John and Jade, with Jade only talking 3.2% more than John.

Graphs and breakdown under the cut!

Note: a conversation (as opposed to a pesterlog) lasts until at least one of the participants signs out of pesterchum.

this blog should have way more followers!!!! you go to so much effort for this and this should be appreciated more!!!

thank you so much???? like holy crap that’s so nice!!

[pointlesshomestuckstatistics]

just a heads up that I’ve got some life stuff going on right now and all my current requests are for extremely long term stuff like “how many panels does each character appear in” so things might be a little slow for a while. but if anyone has any requests that don’t include every single character, I’d be happy to do a few of those to fill the void.

[pointlesshomestuckstatistics]

actually no, because 'dream phantom’ was the term I was using for when a living person died while dreaming in a dream bubble. I only singled those deaths out because I was pretty on the fence over whether dying in a dream even counted as actual death, even if that dream DID take place in a physical location. Dreamselves are actual flesh and blood people who die and leave a corpse behind, so I just counted them as regular old deaths.

Homestuck Deaths Part 3: The One With the Actual Statistics

There are 211 deaths of named characters in Homestuck, plus however many aradiabots and ghosts died.

The only characters who never die in any form are PM, Serenity, Casey, GCat (Ambiguous ending for sprites and ghosts notwithstanding), and possibly Squarewave, Sawtooth, Vodka Mutiny, and Li’l Seb. And Jane’s dad, depending on whether you consider him a version of John’s dad or not.

On average, each character dies about 2.37 times.

The main 22 players, however, die an average of  5.18 times each.

Also fun fact: 16 people get decapitated in Homestuck, and only 2 of them are Dirk. The other 14 are: Jack Noir (2), Hegemonic Brute (2), Diamonds Droog (1), Crowbar (1), Sawbuck (2), Black King (1), White King (1), Aimless Renegade (1), Violent J of ICP (1), Spidermom (1), and Hussiebot (1).

Dave is responsible for 5 of these.

Hey, on that unrequited cruch thing, I think you forgot how eridan had a crush on nepeta and actually asked her out but nepeta ended up refusing!

You’re right, I did! I’m not sure why, I know exactly where he says that, I guess I was just distracted. Thanks for telling me, I changed the list and the charts. Can’t do anything about the animation though.

Clover -> Caliborn (star heart horseshoe)

Lil Seb -> Clover (heart clover)

*Not in the charts because they weren’t explicitly romantic enough, or were most likely a joke. The ones between players are in the little animation tho

It’s Not a Shipping Grid

okay so i got requests for this one, and then dropped off the face of the planet because it took me 78 years to finish. So without further ado:

There are 21 confirmed and 52 teased <3 relationships, 6 confirmed and 12 teased <3< relationships, 7 confirmed and 2 teased <> relationships, 4 confirmed and 6 teased o8< relationships, and 6 confirmed and 8 teased relationships that aren’t in one specified quadrant.

Karkat wins the ‘most loveable’ award, having been in relationships with 3 different people (<> with Gamzee, o8< with Jade, unknown with Dave) and been crushed on/flirted with by no less than 7 different people (<3 from Nepeta, Eridan, Cronus, Meenah, Davepetasprite, o8< from Kanaya, and Something with Terezi)

Eridan manages to beat even Cronus for ‘Most desperate’ with 9 unrequited Crushes.

Finally, (Vriska) wins ‘most broken-hearted’ with 6 different relationships that are now over. Vriska only had 4 relationships.

All of these relationships are listed in the long version, here.
