The Goblin Emperor fandom is little and darling and delightful but, of the 311 fics on ao3, fully 9 of them are tentacle porn. That makes the fanfic 2.89% tentacles by volume for a canon that, iirc, never mentions, alludes to, or otherwise hints at any sort of tentacles whatsoever
why.
just to confirm that these levels of tentacle are atypical, I used the Potter fandom as a control group: of the 171,418 potter fics on ao3, 125 mention tentacles, which is only 0.07%
using the same methodology, the Tentacle Density of Star Trek: The Original Series is only 0.21%, although this researcher would point out that the margin of error increases considerably the more a fandom predates AO3 by, and that percentage could well be higher.
A fandom that can be more closely compared with TGE, Tamora Pierce’s Tortall series (by virtue of being a small fandom centered on contemporary fantasy literature), has only 1 tentacle fic, with an overall Tentacle Density of 0.06%. Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, another comparable fandom, also has only 1 tentacle fic, giving it an overall Tentacle Density of 0.15%.
I fucking dare you to do the math on Voltron
I’m not touching that Voltron question with a ten-foot tentacle but I’m going to point out that Harry Potter ought to be kicking Goblin Emperor’s ass at the tentacle game because IT HAS CANONICAL SENTIENT GIANT SQUID. what the hell, HP fandom falling down on the job, how does Maia Drazhar get fucked by tentacles more often than Harry.
as a homestuck….
…i dare you. :D
AO3 is only pulling up 775 homestuck fics for me or a little under 2% and frankly I am *shocked*
on a brighter note I have just learned we are responsible for fully 1/10th of all “tentacles” fics on AO3 so that’s an accomplishment
