Pretty please?

Quote 1: "I'll be back once I eliminate that devil called poverty from the world!" - Partitio Yellowil, Octopath Traveler II

Quote 2: "Elder gods from the whole cosmos have awoken to taste your cookies." - Narrator, Cookie Clicker

Propaganda

Quote 1: Partitio is genuinely such a kind and helpful person. He wants to help as many people as he can, so he goes out on an adventure to convince a multi billionaire to use his money for good. Partitio is a merchant passionate about his work, but not because he wants to make money, but because he wants to make people happy and wants to create a world where everyone has what they need. This line of dialogue perfectly captures that and his friendly and out going personality. Also he says it with a country accent which I think is very important to keep in mind. He's a cowboy who wants to help people :] - Submitter

Alright looks like I have to use these blogs again. You know who I’m advocating for, #LAYTONSWEEP

ULTIMATE TRIO BRACKET: MATCH #35

[time-traveler-tourney]

I’m doing another tournament! This one will most likely be my last one, so I decided to finish my tournament saga by throwing all my Blorbos into a pit and see who comes out on top!

Obviously I don’t expect this to be anything big, but feel free to drop by to judge my taste in characters or whatever.

#HA!

[time-traveler-tourney]

Yeah he does.

Red Guy:

Red guy is usually the person who will turn to the camera and ask a question (ex: episode 4 of the web series he turns to the camera and asks "In this digital world, what can we do?" And then after not getting answered repeats "What can we do?" With annoyance in his voice, to which the teacher of the episode finally answers) In the end of same episode he walks in on a bootleg filming of episode 1, causing his head to explode most likely due to being forced to acknowledge he's in a web series

In episode 6 he's the one who finds, messes with, and pulls the plug to the control panel, in the process of trying to figure out the control panel he spawns in and despawns multiple different used and unused teachers, witnessing on the monitor as they torment Yellow Guy. However, he doesn't seem to retain this information across the web series into the television series.

In the intro to episode 3 of the TV series (Family) Red screams "We live in an aCTUAL NIGHTMARE" implying he may be aware of their situation as television characters, however this could also just be due to the circumstances of the previous two episodes.

Squid Baron:

His entire joke is build around him becoming self-aware of his role as a video game character and consequently, his role as a “filler boss” in the series with no actual relation to the plot. This leads to him suffering “post-boss-syndrome”. Yes that’s apparently a thing in these games. All he wants now is to not be a filler boss again and wishes for a new purpose in life, in this case, getting to star in his very own videogame, leading to him constantly making fun of the Shantae series and videogames in general. Also as soon as Squid Baron shows up suddenly EVERYONE around him becomes self aware. Squid Baron isn’t just a fourth wall breaker, he’s a fourth wall wreaking ball. He’s what you get when you try to divide the fourth wall by 0

round 3 - week 3 - 3 of 4

brought to you by: streetcat

Miezekatze (german) vs 猫 (chinese)

info and propawganda under the cut!

Miezekatze /ˈmiːt͡səˌkat͡sə/

it literally comes from the german equivalent of pspsps. the thing you say to get a cat's attention. also the word is just very fun to say

猫 (māo) /mɑu̯˥/

It sounds like Meow! Also, Cantonese is a really cool language (that I can definitely not pronounce sadly)

Little ears and a tail 🥺

sounds like meow

BRO ITSLITERALLY THE CAT SOUND IRS LITERLALY WHEN A CAT GOES "MOW" ANNSJSYSSHSHSHH

Because it sounds like a cat <3

It sounds like the sound cats make.

māo sounds like the sound a cat makes

this word reads as "māo".

real pokemon moment. we chinese really saw a cat, asked it what it wanted to be named as, and then called it that. we even kept the same intonation (the dash over the a) to ensure that everyone else who knew chinese would talk to the cat in the exact same way the cat called to us.

it's got 3 radicals; the left (犭) for quadruped animal, the cap (艹) for grass, and the base (田) for field, like rice fields. that's basically the whole backstory of how we saw and met the cat. the kitty really was just coming in from the grass on his 4 lil paws to our field and introduced themselves as mao. ily cat

if you read the cap and base section only it looks like a cat's face and ears.

every time you want to write the word cat you have to draw them!!! wont you think of a lil babey kitty while drawing them? isn't it beautiful how every time we wanted to write cat in chinese we took the time to depict a cat? decided everyone should know how or what a cat looks like and devoted our time of remembrance to just a leetol creeture?

because it's literally onomatopoeic. the cat is named after the sound it makes (which is so cute)

simple, cute, direct, just like cat

It sounds like a cat sound, and also just really nice. If you interpret the radicals in the unintended way I'm deciding to, the leftmost bit of the character could look like a cat scratching their back on a fencepost behind them, or something. Overall, it is a very cat word

it sounds like cat sounds (cute) and its easy for me to remember as a chinese novice bc it has the same radical as dog and is easy to draw

sounds like the noise cats make. cute

猫 as a character is peak cat! It's been a while since I've been in Chinese school, so bear with me, but the left side uses the claw symbol, which shows it's an animal, and the right side (苗, pronounced miáo) helps explain its pronunciation. 苗 specifically means something along the lines of seedling/young/descendant and isn't really depictive of what it means, but when I was younger, I thought it looked a little like a cat with little ears and whiskers as well. (Chinese cats say "喵" (miāo) which ties back to the 苗 symbol as well!) Also, 猫 "māo" is kind of pronounced like a meow, which I think should give it bonus points. Overall, 猫 is the peak word for cat! :3

you cannot tell me they are not the perfect word for a kitty cat. they came up to us and introduced themselves, so we decided to call them by the name they call themselves, and in mandarin, we call them "little māo" because they are our little meow meows!! they are our babies!! also chinese is Ancient. our writing system goes back like 4000 years!! and we are still using it! i admit we probably weren't calling them 貓 for all these 4000 years but respect your elders! /lh

[time-traveler-tourney]

im starting to make the losers bracket, everyone who lost between round 2-5 are coming back so prepare your propaganda!!

now, why arent round 1 losers coming back? because i dont want to deal with 64 polls again because as per this anon, all of them got fatally injured in a tragic vanilla extract accident

...but im also keeping the ties from last bracket... which leaves about 9 empty spots...

so NOW'S YOUR CHANCE to bring your [favorite beloved] from round 1 back from the dead

how, you may ask?

here! just reblog this post or comment with whoever you want back, once enough "votes" are given ill count them and add the 9 characters with the most of them right into this bracket for a second oportunity! note that i'll be counting individual people who reblogged so spamreblogging will not affect the result unless it manages to get your mutuals to also choose the character you want

you can check the challonge to see who died in round 1

#hey #I think we should bring grovyle back!
