Watching the Tumblr sexyman twitter poll final round pitting Reigen Mob Psycho 100 against Sans Undertale with the intensity of a diehard sportsball fan

#reblog for sample size; you know the drill.. other people don't see who you voted for- me included- so don't be scared :) #self ship community #self shipping #unless you do self ship with someone on the list already- like i do! :)- THEN IT IS VERY TAKEN SERIOUSLY >:)))

thinking about the elections tonight... bad, cellbit, baghera, and forever are four candidates who are devoted to the island- more specifically, to the residents of the island. They care for the eggs, and they care for each other, and the way they exhibit that care through their primary presidential strategies is fucking fascinating.

Bad is who I watch the most, so I know him best. He's a classic mother hen. He doesn't like to take risks with the eggs, and he likes to prepare. If there's any sort of variable that could hurt an egg then he wants to control it. They have a stable relationship with the federation right now- it's not great, but they know the parameters. Don't trust cucurucho. don't follow cucurucho. send the eggs to NINHO every time there's a threat. the time of day changing means you need to run. Other than that they're p okay and roughly safe. But adding a president could potentially change everything. What if the president makes a rule that makes it easier to kill the eggs? And what about the way a president could cause tensions between the players to rise even higher? The dynamics of the island could change drastically. It's safer to neutralize that threat before it ever becomes a threat. It's easier to stop a war before it can start.

Baghera's primary concern is the way the election is designed to pit the residents against each other. All of them know that the Federation is a threat and she, like Bad, is focused on not letting them hurt more people. But, unlike Bad, she's less resistant to change. If the power is spread to multiple players rather than just one, it will be harder for the Federation to corrupt any one of them. Each time before the Federation has gotten to someone it's done so by isolating them. Felps, Cellbit, Jaiden- they've all spent a lot of alone time with Cucurucho. A council isn't just to consolidate the ideals of the island; a council would protect the players themselves. Sure, there might be disagreements and arguments, but they've had those before (and they're having them now!) and there's no reason to think they wouldn't be able to get through them again.

I hit a bit of a wall with Forever and Cellbit's pov here. Everything I know about their plans are from the debates and paraphrased discussions that have been translated here on tumblr, I'm going to talk less about their explicit plan and more about what the result will entail- a single president who takes responsibility for the island. It seems to me like they've recognized the presidential seat as the powerful opportunity that it is, and they want to take advantage of it. Here's some extra personal speculation but, adding rules, adding or removing mods, proposing public works, enforcing laws- those are just the abilities that are listed. Those are incredible opportunities to make the Federation take action, which is more than they've had before. We've seen before that the Federation isn't perfect; the Federation makes mistakes.

By working with the Federation, by making them take action (in a semi-controlled, semi-predictable way) you open them up to more opportunities for them to fuck up (while benefiting you). And, maybe, one of those fuck ups will be the key to taking them down. Maybe they could reopen ender chests. Maybe they could open the nether. Maybe they could learn why the Federation is holding an election in the first place. It's possible to do all these things with Baghera's plan, sure, but that's not a guarantee and, if someone like Bad is on the council, there's absolutely no way to be sure it would get done. And, if there's a council, then that opens up everyone on the council to the Federation's wiles. If there's just one president, then that's where the Federation's focus will be. By using a single person to build a relationship with the Federation, they only risk that single person. By electing ministers instead of a council, they can ensure that the island residents' needs are being heard while placing the federation's focus on that one person. A point can be made that they've done that before- with varying results. like kidnapping. selling your soul. etc. But! overall, I think they've gained more than they've lost by singling out one person. Because of them, we know that Cucurucho can't be trusted. We know that the Federation has a series of tunnels underneath the island. We know that the Federation not only has some sort of cryo technology, but had some unknown reason to use it. We know that there was another person working with Cellbit to take care of Felps (theorized to be ElQuackity), so we know there's at least one more Fed that isn't Cucurucho + blank-faced workers. There's been risk, but there's absolutely been rewards. This is just a very long meandering way to say that their plan to sacrifice Forever to the presidential seat reminds me very much of Cellbit's plan to sacrifice himself to the federation. They're saving their friends by potentially damning themselves and I, for one, think that is cool as hell.

they all care about each other so much. bad's plan means taking on no more risk. baghera's plan means spreading that risk evenly to stand strong together. and cellbit and forever's plan means taking the risk onto themselves so they can reap the rewards for others. am i reading too much into things? no this is tumblr and this smp is about LOVE and i really genuinely think that their election plans are a fantastic example of just how much they love each other

#qsmp elections #qsmp #qsmp analysis #again i haven't been following cellbit and forever's exact plan too closely but i've gotten the sense that their pushing of public works is #just to get people to vote for them and the true reason they want forever to be president is to infiltrate the federation #if that's not it tho feel free to let me know i'd love to know these cubitos reasonings #but with my interpretation i like the silly little extra headcanon of mr cell “sold his soul to the cops” bit #subconsciously sacrificing forever to the feds and pushing him into corruption #which ALSO makes the forever-killing-cellbit-to-kick-him-out-of-the-running plan Even More Tasty #'what if i let you kill me. what if destroying me destroyed yourself. what if i have already destroyed you on purpose and you forgave me #now what if i dont mean it when i do it again' #if anyone wants to examine the other candidates (or these same ones) and figure out how their election strategy is an example of their love #please do #i don't know enoguh about the others #but i know that gegg is love-turned-grief burn-the-world-down #and foolish is love for Item. love for cloud. love for being a silly #i don't know etoiles' plan for if he gets elected but i know he also deeply loves the island and the residents #him and his security <3 and the care packages for new players <3 and the way he Craves Violence but absolutely refuses to hurt anyone who #doesn't deserve it. most guy of all time #personally i want foolish to win because i think it would be really fun #but i think that any of them (even the candidates i don't know) would be a Fantastic president #we're going to get some good roleplay any way it goes so ill be happy :3 #the only mechanic thing i want is for them to open the nether but that feels like a given for anyone so im not worried about it tbh #ty for coming to my tedtalk #hello if you're reading this tag. i see youre just as un-normal about these characters as i am. or you just like to read. respect either wa

[some-other-number]

been seeing a lot of yank-exceptionalist 'voting is pointless' stuff appearing lately and I feel like my main issue with it is that the reasoning seems to boil down to 'my choices are all bad therefore I refuse to participate'. now whether consciously and/or deliberately or not that's still making a choice. that choice is leaving it to everyone else in the electoral district to make a choice for them, because someone is going to get elected. firstly, that feels like an incredibly yankee way of doing things; this is too tricky to strategically decide which option presented will be the best, therefore I will simply not. secondly, someone will be elected and if you have the power to stop a christofascist getting into office then it's your damn duty to do that; no amount of 'voting is only a part of the machine' changes the fact that sometimes within a system you do have to work within it to ensure you can get out of it. that doesn't mean 'working within the confines of a system will help dismantle that system' because I know damn well that rarely works, but that if an action of the system could be changed for the worse unless an action within that system is done, then it should be done. lastly I feel like there is quite a lot of overlap between the 'voting is pointless' type and the 'spends any amount of time pettily fighting over which flavour of left-wing politics is best' and to me it's wild that anyone that participates in that could ever trust the other voters in their area to decide the political outcome of that electorate, who are total strangers that they may have completely the opposite political opinions to them. when the non-voter can't even get along with someone with arguably very similar politics to them. something about that does not make any sense to me

#redboots speaks #I don't get why these people are being like this now isn't the usa election like a year away #getting a head start? being annoying already? #like I know there are legitimate reasons someone cannot vote in the yankee-land I mostly mean the people who choose not to. #anyway I'm just writing down my thoughts on it because I've been seeing it a lot and I do not get why #like yeah we get it genocide joe is supporting genocide there isn't an election on yet #you're still being annoying and very yankee #I can smell the walmart pumpkin pie and stupid hidden taxes from y'all a mile off and if some of y'all AREN'T yanks #then sorry you are acting indistinguishable from a yankee and you need to fix that now. save yourselves.

Why should I vote 128 GRAZER in Fat Bear Week 2022?

So glad you asked!

She's a giant, firstly. An absolute balloon of a bear. Gaze upon her hibernation bod:

Truly worthy of the title. Compare to June of this year:

Grazer is second from the left; her cubs are to the right of her. They all look like different bears when looked at next to their fall selves. They've worked their giant butts off to get to where they are. Incidentally, that's a screenshot from a clip titled "128 Catches Two Fish at Once". She is a phenomenally skilled fisherbear who's taught those skills to her cubs, so that they too can be successful adults someday.

Consider also that Grazer is the only mother bear in the bracket. While every other contestant has only had to fatten themselves up, Grazer has been nursing her giant 2.5-year-old cubs (transfer of fat from her to her cubs; it would be for any animal, but bear milk is especially high in fat), allowing her cubs to share her fish (again losing out on fat in order to fatten her cubs), and defending her family in true Grazer style (burning calories, and thus fat). Her cubs have begun to catch their own fish after watching such a skilled mother, which has lessened her burden, but the fact remains that Grazer has been fattening up two other bears in addition to herself this year. And oh, boy, are they fat:

Family naptime, with one of her cubs standing up on the left. They both look like Grazer if you put her through a low-powered shrinkray.

To sum up, Grazer has achieved peak fall bear bod, as good as anyone else's on the bracket (look at her, y'all. what a round bear), while giving away a lot of fat to her family. She has therefore gathered more fat than anyone.

If that's not enough for you, maybe her personality will win you over. She is the fiercest and most defensive mother bear on the entire river. Check out this video: here. Mike Fitz, a former ranger still involved with bearcam (a livestream where the FBW bears can be seen during the summer), chose memorable moments to highlight for the 10th anniversary of bearcam. He seems to have thought, "Really, Grazer's entire personality is a memorable moment." And, honestly? Accurate.

Personally I will never forget that time 747, most dominant bear at the time, snuck up on another male bear in her vicinity and she charged in to shut the whole thing down. After yelling at the other bear, all she had to do was glare at 747 and take a few pointed steps in his direction, and he slunk off, intimidated. (She got involved because bears fighting in the area is dangerous for cubs, since they can get caught in the crossfire and killed. If other bears have to be around cubs, the safest environment for them is a peaceful one.) Video link!

Or the time she went for 856, an absolute giant, also the dominant bear that year and known to bears and humans alike for his bad temper:

Look at her, she's like half his size. She doesn't give a shit. All to make sure her nearby cubs were safe.

She has a similar attitude when it comes to gaining access to fishing spots for herself and her cubs. She doesn't go straight to charging in and roaring, but she will approach anyone in her spot and make it known that she wants it, and whoever is there had better make way so her cubs can eat. She's made her reputation this way, and other bears often just go ahead and leave whenever she shows up to fish. She and her cubs grow into giant blimps every year off this tactic.

The top of the dominance hierarchy is typically full of male bears, but there are a few female bears that can achieve situational dominance. When Grazer has cubs, she and her family are right at the top. (Although she is smart, too, and knows when it's probably not worth it, which is what makes her dominance only situational.)

When there's no danger and no competition, however, she and her family can be very sweet. Here are some videos: 1, 2

Also, if this matters, 151 Walker, her competition in her first round, is scared to death of her.

So remember: Vote 128 Grazer for Fat Bear Week champion 2022! The queen deserves her crown.

Well, I've definitely hit the ''What the fuck is this trash, this is awful and if I post this, everyone who reads it will track me down in real life and point and laugh at me!'' stage of my writing process. But as usual, I'm going to power through it until I reach the ''Eh, who gives a fuck? Posting bad fic ain't a crime.'' stage.

But then I'll approach the worst part of this whole thing...having to title the damn fic 😫 I have three ideas for what it could be and they're all Bad and Lame in different ways. I'm tempted to start a poll on here to take the decision off my hands but realistically, I know that wouldn't be a great idea since I'm not exactly the most popular girl in school...

#What is wrong with you Sam you should not be allowed to write #Thanks to my writing slump I forget about the complex rollercoaster of emotions I go through every time I attempt to *checks notes* #Post a fanfiction onto the internet...yeah. #Sometimes I need to remind myself just how silly all of this is and how little it matters so seriously who gives a fuck? #But yeah I know if I actually did a poll I'd just be embarrassing myself even more than I already am #Because if I'm lucky maybe *two* votes would be cast #But whatever I ain't doing this to be popular LOL

hm.. after giving it more thought i think i want elise to win this months sonic channel poll. its a tough choice because elise and merlina both only appeared in one game and havent been acknowledged since then but. sonic and the black knight had a mix of 2d and 3d cutscenes and elise has only ever appeared as a 3d model.. with that in mind i would really like to see a cute cartoony style drawing of elise. also considering the character thats already been decided to appear in the art is silver i think id rather see him interact with elise than merlina. also it would be so nice to see more sonic 06 acknowledgement that isnt just "haha wasnt this game terrible guys *insert picture of elise kissing sonic*" especially considering itll be portraying the most hated character from that game in a positive light. so yeah #elisesweep

#i know sonic 06 is considered a failure but. #i dont think sega pretending it never existed except for having the sonic twitter make fun of it occasionally #is helping sonics reputation at all if anything its just feeding into the ''haha sonic bad'' mentality more #and i do think sonic 06 had its good qualities. like there are bad parts im not denying that. that kiss scene was weird as hell #but i think the game had a lot of potential even if the execution could have been better #theyve become less weird about sonic 06 recently. making references to it that arent just jokes #but elise still hasnt showed up in anything at all . like they played her theme at the 30th anniversary symphony #which was very surprising but i still dont really count that #also i think theres people who are only voting for merlina so sir galahad can show up and um. #i dont know if you guys are aware but the theme and silver's outfit are already chosen and its not knights related #said so in the caption of the poll #you can still vote for merlina if you want to. i wont be mad if she wins i like her a lot . probably more than elise actually #but if youre only voting to see satbk silver youre gonna be disappointed
