Well, I needed somewhere to put this, so spontaneous blog post it is. I ought to put something up in the 11 non-December months of the year.

After some discussion with Fang-tan, I became determined to hammer the hell out of Danbooru, to figure out some of the correlations between the characters in Gensokyo.

All of them.

Well, what I really wanted was to see what the most popular pairings in the Touhou fandom were, but I don’t think that’s strictly possible, at least not in an hour of programming. I have been able to figure out, however, what characters are correlated to each other, defined by ‘who appears in pictures with each other’. However, do note these -are not- mutually exclusive, i.e. not limited to only these two girls in a picture.

Yay, stats?

Raw popularity: (how many images each girl has)

Pairings (as defined above), most popular to least. The numbers are a bit flawed; as you can see, I am getting double results for pairings backwards, for some of them, and also, since the numbers were stored in a map by pairing count, if two pairing collides (i.e. with the same amount of images), only one will show up. Hopefully this will not be a huge issue, but keep in mind… (shown is the image count for the given girl plus the other girl)

And for each girl’s individual correlation, sorted by girl: (shown is the image count for the given girl plus the other girl)
