#bc I love stats

[animemusicbrackets]

Sorry this is taking so long!! Giving you ugly pics of the bracket match ups now but with the notice that I am currently con crunching (if anyone is going to be at tora-con in Rochester… come say hi in the Artist alley :3 ) so it will likely take a while for me to get the matches set up. I will put up the actual formal bracket post sometime this month.. but the matches likely won’t start until early April. consider this a mini hiatus :’3 thank you for your patience 🙏

(Btw, ignore the colors. They are just the seeding groups, ie. How many submissions they each received. For the songs within each group, they all had the same number of submissions, so I put them through a random sorter before seeding.)

#gogoat #i like this Less than skiddo. which is unfortunately why i rarely ever end up using skiddo in my teams #that's the main thing stopping me from using a lot of pokémon in my teams. i like their prevos but the final evolutions just don't do it #for me for one reason or another and since that's the only reason to use a pokémon on your team aside from the early game i just #never end up using that pokémon. because they'll just fall so drastically behind so quickly that i never use them #so pokémon like skiddo‚ fennekin‚ vulpix‚ ponyta #etc etc i never end up using just because i only like their weak baby forms. and like i guess it's a me issue bc i could just give them an #eviolite and say it's a strat but i always feel like i'm missing out on a lot by not letting them evolve. some pokémon get such a huge stat #boost that i feel like keeping them a baby is just holding my whole team back #so i never use skiddo despite loving it to death. justice for skiddo. y'know what #i'm gonna go change my discord icon to a skiddo RIGHT now #get skiddo'd

MASSIVE SPOILER for one of the endings.

it's been a while since i tried looking, but i did hear that something like this happens last year and over time started to think, "was it a fluke?" bc no one posted footage or caps of it then, and i aimed for a completionist run in my first playthrough. turns out it's real! and definitely shines a new light on a character that, for most other types of playthroughs, will not give this much emotion! EDIT: transcript now included, and some stillshots under the cut

[0:28] Marie: Henry, this is the man who kept you from doing the right thing tonight. Kill him. [0:15] Forrest: Henry, you don’t have to do this. If you’ve not killed anyone yet, there’s still time to make the right decision. [0:05] Out of shot: (Gunshots) Henderson Police! Freeze! Marie: No! Henry, get out of there!

#killer frequency #henry barrow #these hands……… #so yes MORE spoilers and further commentary ahead here in the tags: #yes this is a fairly tragic ending if you already know how to get it. but again TERRIFIC VOICE ACTING BEFOREHAND AND AFTER. #feel free to reply in post if you want to ask about that part. #i didn't include that in the vid bc it's so visceral and raw but i love their performances. that shit hit hard dang. #but i want to ask anyone if their perspective on henry changes after seeing this? mine does tbh. i didn't expect a possible show of remorse #like at most hesitation! but bc of the context of forrest's dialogue- does it lean into remorse? a large definite shift in his mind! #even if he Has killed already then he's still taking forrest's words to heart and reconsidering everything which DAMN- #-my videogamey headcanon of forrest's character stats showing his Persuasion and Charm MAXED OUT is pulling tf through here!! #also can anyone reply re: would forrest's dialogue change but he still survives if henry kills maurice or murphy? or would forrest die? #and if the devs Actually gave henry other official kills in the game but didn't disclose them in the narrative- then is this the test? #like if henry kills AT ALL in game even though the player isn't privy to knowing which victims are his then is this ending unattainable? #also placing this scene/character moment behind THIS ENDING SPECIFICALLY heck that's cold. dang fellas. #going to eventually pull out a hc i've been holding back for a long time in a later post and i'll mention this scene again then- #-but this part in particular as well as another “easter egg” has really put more fuel to it

ponder for a moment, zosanuso with Zoro realizing he likes pet names

Sanji and Usopp get together first. They are very lovey dovey and sappy because Sanji is lovey dovey and sappy and Usopp loves it, gets very swept away with it, and does his best to reciprocate. This shit is practically the bane of Zoro's existence. And that's not even getting into the pet names.

Some time later, he's got the realization that oh, huh, he likes Usopp. And oh, ugh, he likes the Cook too. And he might lament his own feelings about it, but eventually he tells them and then Zoro has two boyfriends.

And then one morning, Usopp comes to breakfast looking incredibly sleepy, and casually gives a "Morning, babe" to Zoro before taking his seat.

And Zoro finds he likes that. He really really likes it. And he's definitely showing it on his face somehow because soon after Sanji is ranting and raving about Zoro being an absolute hypocrite, because how dare he complain all this time about Sanji and Usopp calling each other honey and cher and darling, when he was just as bad as them-

Usopp is more awake now and trying not to laugh, for Zoro's sake. Zoro is very red and keeps trying to interrupt Sanji, but Sanji just talks louder over him. Zoro would start a fight, but Sanji hadn't finished serving breakfast yet and his arms are full of plates so he's forced to suffer.

#one piece #zosanuso #zosansopp #sanuso #roronoa zoro #usopp #sanji #nemotime #what other pet names would zoro like beside 'babe'? no fuckin clue #oh. maybe hed like symbolic stuff. and specifically 'mossy' from sanji #symbolic stuff would be like 'my light' 'my moon' 'my unwavering horse' #that last one is a my hero joke dw about it. its funny to think of zoro being called that and then just exploding from how much he likes it #'my tether' 'my ocean' 'my courage' stuff like that. usopp and sanji tag team zoro all the time to make him blush #theyre so like. ugh. i love this ot3 usually for usopp getting tag teamed but zoro is so good for it too #give that man some love and care STAT #also tease the hell out of him. bc it is cute and also funny

i’m always thinking about how dal never knew his parents and the only mother figure he had sold him into slavery as a child and then it turns out he never even had parents, he was just a failed experiment. and then his next mother figure is simply a hologram of a famous admiral who then deceives him before ‘dying’. but the real janeway cares for him so much, and defends and advocates for him in court and wants him to join her crew

#this is not anti holo janeway btw i love her it’s just. as soon as they gain a parent they immediately lose her #sometimes i think about how they modified holo janeway so they could hug her. someone get these kids some parental figures STAT #just. dal having to sleep in the engine and literally being SOLD INTO SLAVERY #after never knowing who he even was #feeling so worthless his entire life #yet finally finding his purpose among his crew on the protostar #and being taken under THE admiral janeways wing #he justtttt. does such a good job at being captain #he cares for his crew so much #bc he knows what it’s like to be forgotten and cast aside!! they all do!! #and cares for them and protects them and just loves them more than anything in the world #and he’s no longer a failed experiment but a confident leader! who’s not alone anymore! #ohhhhh i love him #star trek #star trek prodigy #dal r'el

Tamlin Week 2024 Statistics

Hello all! I crunched some numbers on Tamlin Week 2024, which was way bigger and better than I ever could have dreamed! All together, there were 184 submissions by 48 different creators.

Day 1 had the most submissions, with 16.8% of the total (31 submissions). Day 6 had the least, with 12.5% (23 submissions). There was an average of 26.3 submissions each day, or 14.3% of the total.

The most popular prompt (excluding the Free Day) was Heir of Spring, a Day 1 prompt, with 11.4% (21 submissions). The least popular prompt on its own was the Day 2 prompt Warrior, with 2.7% (5 submissions). However, Day 2 had the most people incorporate both prompts into their works, with 5.4% of the submissions using both Poet and Warrior.

By far, the most popular type of submission for Tamlin Week was fanfiction, with 51.6% (95 submissions). We were pleasantly surprised by the amount of poetry submitted for the week, with 9.2% of the creations (17 submissions). I haven't seen a lot of other fandom events where so many people create poetry for them, and it was such an amazing tribute to our favorite poet High Lord!

Most of the submissions (40.9%, or 79 submissions) were General Tamlin content, without a focus on ships. Again, kind of rare to see in ACOTAR events, it's so cool that so many of the creators focused on Tamlin himself! Tamlin/Rhysand (11.9%, or 23 submissions) and Tamlin/Lucien (11.4%, or 22 submissions) are neck-and-neck for being the most popular Tamlin ship submitted. Tamlin/Feyre is the next most popular Tamlin ship, at 8.3% or 16 submissions. If a ship had fewer than 3 submissions, it was lumped in the "Other" category. Some of the Tamlin ships that squeaked by with 3-4 submissions are Tamlin/Nesta, Tamlin/Eris, Tamlin/Nyx, Tamlin/Amarantha, and ships where Tamlin is with 2 or more other partners. It was super interesting to see who made the cut onto the pie chart! Tamlin/Nyx gonna be the Tamlin ship of 2025, I can feel it.

The diversity of ships for this event really is so amazing. In a fandom that seems weirdly addicted to canon, it's cool that the Tamlin community is so creative and open with what they ship!! Especially because mlm Tamlin ships are dominating the shipping chart!

Lastly, I want to give a shoutout to the creators who went above and beyond to create content for this event. With 7 submissions (1 for every day), we have @duaghterofstories, @rin-u-pos, @shi-daisy, @songofthesibyl, @szalonykasztan00, and @taymartiart. With 8 submissions, we have @achaotichuman, @booksnwriting, and @copypastus. With 9 submissions, we have @lorcandidlucienwill. And our heavyweight Tamlin Week champions are @mathiwrites with 12 submissions, and @sonic-atelier with 14 submissions!!

You are all amazing, and I will never be done telling you all how much I love you!!!

#acotar #a court of thorns and roses #tamlin #pro tamlin #tamcien #tamsand #feylin #tamlin week #tamlinweek #tamlin week 2024 #tamlinweek2024 #statistics #stats #for everyone wondering why I haven't read more tamlin week submissions #it's bc math took over my brain for a minute #BUT NOW IT'S OUT AND I'M FREE TO READ #yall gonna be SICK of me telling you all how much I love and appreciate you #SICK OF IT!!!

i play an artificer raccoon (tabaxi stats) in my in-person dnd game. his name is Rabie, and he made his armor out of trash. he wears a traffic cone as a wizard hat. not a request, just a fun fact I felt like sharing since you've been doing raccoon dnd classes

18: Artificer Raccoon

#RABIE IS SUCH A GOOD NAME FOR A RACCOON!!!! #THAT'S SO FUNNY #please tell him i love him #this isnt exactly rabie fanart (no hat or armor) but this did motivate me to finally get to the artificer raccoon #it was the most daunting of the classes by far #well maybe aside from bloodhunter i still have NO idea how im gonna depict a bloodhunter raccoon #oh well #also i really like the idea of using tabaxi stats for a raccoon thats really smart #i wouldnt have thought of it (i wouldve tried looking up a homebrew statblock or homebrew it myself #or maybe the humblewood stats #but the more i think abt tabaxi just makes sense and works #raccoon #raccoonaday #18 #artificer raccoon #its gonna be another two raccoon day #bc apparently im just really bad at drawing them on the dayd i have dnd (tuesdays thursdays and sundays) #rip

Now I’m curious, what breeds are on your list?

✨Golden Retrievers✨ Pomeranians Samoyeds Rottweilers Irish red setters German Shepherd (I like the black ones) Rough Collies and Shelties Great Pyrenees Bernese Mountain Dogs Cocker Spaniels St. Bernards Borzois and probably more that I forgot to list!! These are all dogs that I Especially want to cry when I see them, and that I could see myself loving / being able to meet the particular needs of their breed. I've expanded my Range a little in the two years since I brought Hugo home, since he's taught me a lot about dogs, and I could potentially take care of a baby with very different needs from the ones that he had. I'm still by no means a dog expert but. Yanno. You learn small things over time! In the end, when I was searching for a dog a few years ago, I had a few qualifications I didn't want to budge on. I needed a dog that's trainable, but not stubborn, a dog that's gentle and considerate with my cats and my niblings, a dog that's not too reactive, a dog with soft fur, and a dog that is affectionate. So... Hugo is all of those things!!! He picks up skills quickly and listens (I gotta work on his Recall though), he takes extreme care around the cats and is so careful that he can be left alone with kittens and baby chicks, so being sat on / bothered / tugged on by small kids isn't even a challenge. He has never growled at anyone or anything in Irritation in his life. He's never bared his teeth. He doesn't bark at strangers or at odd noises, he doesn't snap as a response to being surprised. He's extremely pillowy soft, and his fur doesn't irritate my skin or pierce my clothes. He is extremely, extremely sweet and loving, frankly to the point that he would easily fall in love with a new owner if he was kidnapped lmao. You can maybe see why I like goldens so much. I got REALLY close to adopting a Pomeranian, which I'll continue to Think About, basically forever... but as someone with a predisposition for migraines, I don't want to set the dog up for failure if I'm not ready to hear bark bark bark bark bark bark bark all day. That's the ONLY downside. Maybe I invest in some noise cancelling headphones? They're beautiful dogs though, I love an animal that looks like a little rat. You ever see one of them after a bath? My god.

#they're comically small. #but YEAH that's the list as well as I can remember it off the top of my head!!! #sorry you asked me about dogs so I'm gonna Talk About Dogs. I have too many paragraphs of thoughts. #sergle.txt #sergle answers #I spent a lot of time looking at the Stats on the AKC website? for dog breeds #which is amazingly helpful actually. to just give a sliding scale on all the general breed traits #I also like mixes and mutts and everything btw. I love a good shelter dog. but. #I wanted to be able to predict what I was in for with this dog. hence Hugo. He's very much breed standard #with a random puppy you don't know exactly what traits they'll be predisposed to have #and again there were some very important things I needed. #but yeah I spent a lot of time looking at Stats and for First Dog.. I wanted to veer away from #the Loud dogs and from the ones that have high exercise needs. like LOTS AND LOTS of activity #Bc I wasn't prepared to deal with too much barking and I wasn't prepared to go on 5 hikes a day. yk. #Idk! it's all fun. there's something pokemon like to me abt dog breeds #it's fun the way that they're all so so different

#cookie run #licorice cookie #red velvet cookie #affogato cookie #I KNOW im late to this but i was at school ok 🙄 anyways i have a lot of thoughts #first off LICORICE UGH I MISSED HIM SO BAD IM SO HAPPY FOR HIM #his stats are so fascinating to me. i don't think anyone was expecting his strength to be that high #its pretty average but its still his best stat surprisingly #im shocked his strategy and puzzle solving are only 3. i think that's a strange decision to make them so low but I'm open to accepting it #maybe his avoidance/lack of ability to see the big picture contributes to the low scores? #his stats are so unexpected but I could get used to it. still i want an elaboration from devsis on these #i want them to show his strength in the show because i was expecting his strength to be like. 3 or 4 #but anywho. i think its very funny how affo is 0 strength. i love how its canon licorice could easily kick his ass in a fist fight #i really do love affo and im SO happy to see him with the cod fucking finally all we got with him as a cod until now was ODYSSEY 😭 #im so excited to see him work with the cod as an actual member. he's a very fun character for me #i cant wait for them to actually make him feel like one of the cookies of darkness its been over a year since he joined by now c'mon #im just so ecstatic that the cod are back. hopefully this is a good omen and will pave the way for more cod appearances soon #bcs u all know how i feel about the lack of cod for the better part of the past year. this better be their comeback i believe in them #😁😁😁😁😁😁 IM JUST SO HAPPY THIS IS THE BEST POSSIBLE OUTCOME IM SO HAPPY U HSVE NO IDEA I LITERALLY SCREAMED #btw ik crepe is there. but they're in a weird grey area of being a cod so i didn't post them BUT IM VERY HAPPY THEY'RE THERE TOO ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ #♦️charlie's miscellaneous

Thinking plotting scheming of pt, but make it diceyd/ungeons. I think it fits so well; the plot of dd is so cute and its easy to smush existing characters into that universe.

Peppino wishes for his debt to be cleared and for his shop to be successful. Pman wants him and his art to be famous and revered beyond his wildest dreams. Vigi wants Justice or whatever (but hes actually here to be nosy about the ins and outs of the show itself). Noise wants MONEY and FAME. Mysterious man who looks like peppino wants his own shop :). All the pt bosses are dd bosses before going ‘hey, u know what? This gig kinda sucks ass. If u think u can take on the big cheese im jumpin onboard w you’.

Thats all i got LOL i am debating if i still want lady luck to be the boss or let pizzaface be the big bad and just remove the existing dd characters entirely. Pizzahead would always be the jester, and therefore, always be your last die/teammate, which i think is cute heehee hes tired of being a silly little guy no one takes seriously! Hes got silly dreams too!!!! Hes a silly guy w dreams!!!

#chattin #much to think about :) #this is bc i was playing sts and i remembered i made a mockup of his cards and stats #(UNFINISHED; i dont have anything to show im so sorry 😭) #peppino would fit SO well as a modded character in dd too #hed be a brute w shielding mechanics i think #or maybe weaken ? 🤔 #hes not complex like thief hes just gets dice and works w what he has which i think is very fitting #low rolls for weaken; high rolls for damage. very basic #or maybe try to implement his speed by having lots of dice and lots of low roll options for equipment?? i dunno #weh #anyway #cute game #i love it sm and the ending is silly #putting peppino in situations is my favorite pasttime #any kind of roguelite or survival game fits him so well #this is also why i think he would fit PERFECTLY in dont starve #he doesnt want to be broke and he wants to keep his shop in business?? what if i show u the path to riches…. #and now hes like dammit. now im eating bunnies and weird berries to stay alove >:( #ALIVE. my phone made me type alove like eight times and i still fucked it up lmao

I'm on my phone in dark mode so apologies for the reading experience, but here's a sneak peek to spark your interest!

#asks #anons #lovely words from lovely people #wip: gods and monsters #... yes. i fell into the sorcerer x wizard trap. groundbreaking territory for me i know :')))) #defeating the '10 isnt a dump stat' allegations by making my durge INT 8 (everything that could went into WIS to prevent murders) #(but still fighting the '+0 to insight means your fucked' corner bc insight checks start at DC15 standard if you have a single proficiency)
