#LOVE these pie charts

[theriverbeyond]

I think the ghastly teenagers are often described as having a thyroid hyperfunction and Colum as being hypothyroid? weirdly specific foils. also I would be interested if (when?) the narrative stops calling the two ghastly/discussing/etc. prolly shortly before they die?

ive seen some pie charts of character epithets/names do you perchance know if this is one blog in particular or is there one you are acquainted with who does that.

OH ok so the ghastly teenagers are 2x (GtN p. 170, p. 269) described as having a pituitary problem, likely due to the pituitary gland being the "grandmaster" of the endocrine (hormone) system and, being teenagers, they are in the THICK of it. and I love that actually like in tandem with Gideon having an acne problem, love to see that specific physical part of teenagerhood presented here.

It is actually Ortus who is described as hyperthyroid (GtN p. 295) (my guess is TM meant hypothyroidism and nobody caught the error -- Ortus is frequently described as variations of "large" and one of the classic symptoms of hypothyroidism is weight gain + fatigue, wheras hyperthyroidism is more frequently associated with uncontrolled weight loss + higher energy levels.)

Colum is described as jaundice (GtN p. 189, 297), which is due to excess bilirubin (related to liver malfunction) and can result in yellow skin and sclera (whites of the eyes turn yellow). (this also tracks with Colum elsehwere (p. 314) being described as looking as if he had a liver inflamation))

also I THINK you are talking about @procrastinationaccount's incredible name pie charts here, for Gideon and Harrow!

does anyone remember the buzzfeed clone fucking poll

okay well i made a small survey based on this but took it in a slightly different direction! help me expand my sample size please :D

Based on my recent poll asking people who their favorite is. I find it fascinating that the majority of fans preferred Dan originally. Also love that now phannies are less likely to have a favorite between them

Not gonna add a hermit gal pie to the PowerPoint presentation due to A, I don’t know if Cleo counts anymore and B, it won’t look very nice once you see the numbers…

Thought it would be a cool idea until the numbers add up and oh jeez nope, not making that.
