Observations:
Based on a negative opinion by the twins of cest/cesters (Jedward say they like cest/cesters), Cesters are more likely to stop shipping the twins than Non-Cesters are to become anti-cesters.
Based on a positive opinion by the twins of cest/cesters (Jedward say they don’t like cest/cesters), Non-Cesters are slightly more likely to become cesters than Anti-Cesters are to stop being anti-cesters.
Non-Cesters are more than twice as likely to become cesters if the twins said they liked cest/cesters than they are to become anti-cesters if the twins said they didn’t like cest/cesters; Non-Cesters are more willing to become Cesters than to become Anti-Cesters.
Cesters are less likely to stop shipping the twins if the twins said they didn’t like cest/cesters than Anti-Cesters are to stop being anti-cesters if the twins said they did like cest/cesters; Cesters are less willing than Anti-Cesters to change their views to match those of the twins’.
In all instances, Jedward liking/disliking cest itself has a stronger pulling power on changing people’s cest-status than Jedward liking/disliking cesters.
Given the associated opinion on cest/cesters by the twins, the likeliness of each transition would be ranked from most likely to least likely as: Non-Cester>Cester, Anti-Cester>Non-/Cester, Non-Cester>Anti-Cester, and Cester>Non-/Anti-Cester.
I think cest existing (i.e. fans shipping them and writing fanfiction) makes Jedward feel:
Observations:
The four most popular words chosen by Cesters were: Amused, Embarrassed, Confused, Accepted.
The four most popular words chosen by Non-Cesters were: Embarrassed, Misunderstood, Upset, Confused.
The four most popular words chosen by Anti-Cesters were: Confused, Angry, Victimised, Scared.
While Anti-Cesters and Non-Cesters devoted about 25-30% of choices to Angry/Betrayed/Victimised/Scared, Cesters hardly chose these options at all.
The selections of Happy/Amused~ and Confused/Embarrassed~ feelings (grouped in yellowish and blueish shades respectively) are similar across all three cest-status groups, with the latter being the more popular.
Non-Cesters made the least selections of Understood/Accepted~ feelings (coloured in purpleish shades) of any cest-status group, with Cesters being most likely to choose these options.
Overall, Cesters chose an approximately 2:1 ratio of positive:negative feelings, while Non-Cesters’ ratio was 1:6 (the lowest of all three groups), and Anti-Cesters’ was approximately 1:2.
Polls from Left>Right: Cesters, Non-Cesters, Anti-Cesters
The first in a series of 3 sets of poll results from polls conducted 5 months ago that I just realised I never graphed… If there are errors/typos in any of the observations I’ve written in any of these posts I apologise in advance.
Observations:
Cesters are most likely to believe that Jedward are indifferent to cest existing, and least likely to believe that Jedward dislike cest existing. This is the opposite from Anti-Cesters’ opinions. Non-Cesters are almost equally divided between believing that Jedward are indifferent to, or disliking of, cest existing, with a small percentage believing that Jedward like cest existing.
Cesters are most likely to believe that Jedward like cesters equally to other fans, and least likely to believe that Jedward dislike cesters. This distribution of opinion is similar to that of Non-Cesters. Anti-Cesters, however, exclusively believe that Jedward dislike cesters (NB: this is based on just one vote because anti-cesters are useless at voting :/.)
Both Cesters and Non-Cesters believe that Jedward are more likely to have a favourable opinion of cesters than of cest, this view being more pronounced in Non-Cesters.
Cesters and Non-Cesters have more similar views on Jedward’s opinion of cesters: that they are vastly more likely to be liked equally to other fans than liked less / disliked.
Anti-Cesters and Non-Cesters have more similar views on Jedward’s opinion of cest: that they are unlikely to like cest, and more likely to be indifferent to / dislike cest.
Warm-up exercises.
seriously sobbing at john, jedward the 2nd. gah
Note: Jedward The 2nd and not John The 2nd. Jedward because the kids would be had with Edward, obviously. Cesty cesty. I can’t believe this has 28 notes and nobody’s pointed this out yet.
Poor John </3
You stole my joke tbh.
my stepdad just walked up behind me when i was on tumblr and there was a picture of john and edward on the screen and he said “I think those two are fucking each other”
*someone*
John also seems happy about it.
They meant *both of.
#not sure if John didn’t understand the game or he was thrilled for spitting at Edward
Both ;-(
Definitely both.
There’s proof too.
1. When Rylan comes to examine John’s face, he *deliberately* spits out his water. Either that, or he’s just not had much practice at holding stuff in his mouth, and we all know that’s a lie. John deliberately engineers the situation so he gets to spit on Edward.
2. When they lose, he does a victorious reverse-air-punch. Clearly he thinks they’ve won. And they have. Or he has. In his twisted spit-cest-loving way.
(Also can we please start some rumours that because Edward flinches in the above gif when John punches the air, it’s because Edward’s trapped in an abusive relationship and John regularly beats him up in their hotel rooms? That seems like a legit theory for this fandom to conclude tbh.)
