Ghostofapocrypha - Ghost-star

Now for the final round!

@hellsitegenetics

I love them

I didn't know I needed to know that the weed-smoking girlfriends post was genetically a wolf, but I did, and I do. Also puts great stuff on my dash.

it’s so fun to be scrolling unhinged posts and then boom. an organism!

so many moths‼ also, unexpected comedy with some of the matches

perfect blend of silly and informative, and makes for an excellent punchline at the end of a long post. puts creatures on my dash. literally what more could you ask for

It's a really unique blog concept and a lot of times the results are pretty funny. It's great when the sequence matches the post content too!

Creatures 👍

Finds beautiful creatures out of the mess of the hellsite

Offers finality AND gives us a creechur.

I love them. English speakers talk like moths

If this blog wins, they could run the text of the winning announcement, and determine the post's genus and species!

They're also very good about tagging the type of creature depicted in the results, so as long as you mute tags of creatures you don't want to see, it's a very fun time seeing iconic legacy posts (and new submissions) being reduced down to a string of letters and assigned a random species of fish or moth or something!

uhh it’s cool

BLAST

There are so many weird bugs in the world

Yippee!!

If, as Haldane said, God has an inordinate fondness for beetles, then surely this blog proves that Tumblr has an inordinate fondness for moths.

Top tier blog as a geneticist, I love seeing obscure organisms and MOTH

Admin got rate limited after trying to blast the bee movie

the knowledge of biology to pull this off (i have taken one biology class in my life) and also the work to find all the strings honestly deserves quite a bit of praise

This gimmick blog has it all: science, pictures of animals, interaction with the text of other peoples' posts, interesting information, and a unique and fun premise. As a biologist, I'm rooting for hellsitegenetics to reach the end and take the tournament, because it is truly a standout among gimmick blogs.

If they win, perhaps this blog too shall become a cool organism :3

@hasgavlebockenburneddownyet

What's more happy holiday cheer than cheering on the destruction of a giant straw goat?

The birds may have won 2023, but I believe in humanity's capability for arson for 2024 <3

a vote for me is a vote for arson! This message was approved by hasgavlebockenburneddownyet

gavle is SUCH a public service and holiday feature

what's more tumblr than comical destruction and holidays?

sometimes you just gotta vote with your matchsticks

Bringing a cultural staple to tumblr since 2021

Arson is so much more fun

It would be really funny and ironic if it survives the tournament

you have no idea how much joy watching the chronicling of the gavlebocken brings me every year

hasgavlebockenburneddownyet provides an essential public service

always love seeing a bit of Swedish history on my dash 'Swedish bamboo season'

the goat account is peak gimmick blog

If I don't get to beat the goat then nobody does. -pointless-achievements

Never ask Tumblr to choose between lies and arson! The winner threatens by nature to rip apart the very fabric of our DNA!

goat statues made out of straw are exciting and interesting

I wanna see things burn

the goat is an essential part of tumblr culture and the goat blog is a sacred keeper of the tumblr high holidays

watching to see if the big straw goat has burned down each year is a true delight, something I never knew existed until tumblr and the blog dedicated to it

the incredibly focused nature of @/hasgavlebockenburneddownyet is what makes their gimmick superior.

Please guys bite gavlebocken

Look, I'm Danish. I was put on this earth to annoy the Swedes and vice versa, but even I voted for @/hasgavlebockenburneddownyet

gavlebocken is also such a fun name and this blog informed be about its existence, so for that I am grateful

hasgavlebockenburneddownyet is providing a vital service! Every year, people rely on their updates regarding the fate of our most beloved Yule Goat! How could they NOT deserve the win!?

sacred anti-corporate arson

a vote for gävlebocken is a vote for anarchy!

pls vote for them they're the funniest gimmick keeping track on the funniest phenomena in recent human history, like when i look at their acc i think to myself this is what tumblr was created for

the goat is the GOAT

HASGAVLEBOCKENBURNEDDOWNYET DESERVES TO WIN, I have them on post alert for a REASON

the holiday season wouldn't be the same without them

they do important reporting. Do you look at the news and be like 'the reporters aren't doing work they're just telling you whats happening.' Have some respect for the goat news

let the weird burnt sacrificial ritual of it all appeal to you

nothing makes my December more interesting, arson should win

doesn't barge in on other peoples posts which is always a good thing in my books. not a fan when obnoxious gimmick blogs turn a decent post into a garbled mess

GLAD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO'S BEEN THINKING

I've had Rdr2 on my mind for a little while and. Bg3 never leaves my brain. You can imagine how silly I've been about a Rdr2 Baldur's gate 3 au

Also you're not wrong about Shadowheart per se, but consider. Long scope rifle.

I think Karlach's main weapon would be shotgun, though I agree with ur Lae'zel

Karlach and Shadowheart outwardly care the most about their horses, but rlly Lae'zel would fall apart if hers died

Which brings me to their horses

Wyll- Dutch warm blood (one of the more expensive horses you can get early game, I think he'd have a seal brown one. Another one of those things where he's more than meets the eye, if you have the want (will, if you wyll hehehehe)) to look further into him

Astarion: White Arabian (Slim, fast, would help him escape trouble- also matchy! He'd pay someone else to keep it clean/fed/watered)

Karlach- Mustang (I always make Karlach a Wildheart barbarian, so maybe I'm biased. I feel like she loves working with a wilder horse, one that has more of a mind of it's own- and the tiger striped legs are just a plus! Mustangs are both war and workhorses, and I feel like she could really appreciate that)

Lae'zel- Turkoman (As you said, she's just like Sadie fr. The high health and stamina would be a huge draw for her, and she'd have it incredibly well trained- wouldn't buck for a wolf bite. It'd act a lot like she would, and she would absolutely sick it on people. Let it bite. Whoever tried and steal it would have hell to deal with. Also the golden ones have the little almost spots and I like them :3c)

Shadowheart- Andalusian (Good hunting horses with the bravest tempermant in the game. Specifically has a Dark Bay. Probably has some tragic backstory just like her and that's why she fawns over it so much. Anyway, she really likes that it won't buck her, even without having to do much training- it stomping on wolves for her would make her love it even more- never forget how dangerous horses can be. They're huge beasts.)

Gale- American paint (Taken more for the looks than the stats. Loves the creature anyway)

how would y’all cast the companions in an RDR2 AU?

TOMORROW IS HALLOWEEN!!!

hii I drew wyll again
