#shoutout to google for answering my desperate pleas for pop culture help

[faethskillz]

I was curious on what the top responses were so I collected data from reblogs from Thursday 4:46pm CST to Friday 8pm CST. There were a lot of responses and still more coming in; I may continue the data collection later on but not tonight.

I counted all Sebastian mentions in a reblog, including Sebastians claimed as second or third thoughts.

If you have not yet reblogged with your Sebastian, consider this to be your final warning before seeing some popular options.

Top 5:

Sebastian from The Little Mermaid!

With 100 tags, Sebastian from the Little Mermaid is Tumblr's most 'favorite' Sebby. Reactions were mixed, ranging from highly favorable to calling him names. One thing is for sure though, and that's that Tumblr has to work on their crustacean identifications. Users were were unsure whether the red guy was a lobster or a crab or something equally aquadelightful.

I searched this up and the interwebs are also confused although most people, along with Sebastian himself, say he is a crab.

2. Sebastian Michaelis from Black Butler/Kuroshitsuji!

Although he came in second with 92 tags, Sebastian Michaelis had the most people say him as their first pick. 81 Tumblrians (compared to crustacean Sebastian's 74) claimed to "hate this freak" (sakurraaa-s) and the community as a whole seemed to either find him unmeasurably attractive or thought he was unmeasurably awful. Overall a great run.

3. Sebastian from Stardew Valley!

With 75 tags, emo pixel marriage candidate is in third place. Many people, however, said he was the only Sebastian they could think of or that they had to struggle to come up with his name (well, not his name, given that that's the whole point, but his likeness). Ignoring the disinterested fanbase, Sebastian still has many partners in the Tumblr community.

4. Sebastian from Your Personal Lives!

My Sebastian was my dog's brother. Originally growing up together, the two dogs get along to this day and still see each other for sleepovers and playdates regularly. Sebastian is known for butting his way into my bedroom (something his brother refuses to do) and sleeping on my bed overnight.

Other rebloggers also have people in their lives named Sebastian, sometimes even themselves. 55 of 67 users put a friend, animal, peer, or themselves down as their first Sebastian thought, while 12 people favored someone else first and then their personal connection.

Happy birthday to yippeecore's nephew who turned 12 recently and is (allegedly) named Sebastian!

5. Sebastian Stan from being an IRL Marvel Actor!

This nerd blorbo has lots of stans who appreciate his cool and epic acting skillz. 54 of them to be exact. Having gone popular on Tumblr multiple times, it's only natural that many users thought of him as their first pick for Sebastian.

Thank you goldensunset for making this poll; people also commented that the tag buffer was banger (that means good btw).

Tags in the Other category included vague responses I was unable to identify as a category, super specific references to niche events, and items that did not fit into a character or item otherwise listed.

curious about something so i want to conduct a free-response survey. who (or what) first comes to your mind when you hear the name sebastian
