Keep Your Eyes Out For Donnie's Poll. We Will Avenge Him After What Happened Last Time!

Keep your eyes out for Donnie's poll. We will avenge him after what happened last time!

Round 1 starts this Monday, the 16th!

I thank you all for your patience with me while I work towards getting the first wave of polls out. As a reminder, Round 1 will come out in waves, running across 4 days from the 16th to the 19th. Each poll will last only 1 day, so get your votes in while you can! Thank you!

EVERY1 SHUT UP

As a Donnie fan, agreed. Some people took it way too far last time. Heck, I got a little too into it myself. I hope I didn't hurt anyone.

Let's all strive to be our best selves this year.

Got a post in my reccomended that reminded me of something I need to make clear, that's gone poorly addressed here until now.

Last year, while you may remember it fondly, the toxicity demonstrated by my voters and fanbase regarding who to vote for (especially during the later rounds) was genuinely atrocious. It moved well beyond the point of lighthearted competition and into genuine vile behavior and often ableism that I cannot let slide as we go further into season 2. This extends to (and is primarily relevant to) Donatello fans. I give you guys a lot of credit for the success and fun of this blog, but it is pertinent that you also remember that Donatello fans in particular were credited with the most cruel attitudes in the wake of Mob's victory. I understand being upset because of a loss, but this is ridiculous.

I am not "calling out" or targeting anyone in particular with this. I am well aware that this behavior does not belong to all of you. The majority of yall are darlings and I couldn't be more grateful for your support. But I let you all off way too easy last time.

Let me make it clear: You are voting on your favorite autistic headcanon/canon character. The metric of "autism swag" does not exist, and should never be used to bully or harass other voters. It's a title that was made up and based off of the names of the other poll bloggers at the time, not a real concept. It is not serious, nobody is winning anything besides a PNG that gets put next to their character if they win.

If I catch wind of any genuine death threats, bigotry, or otherwise unnecessary cruelty sent towards any participants during the course of this season, I will start disqualifying characters. If you cannot keep it civil when polls are live, I see no reason why you should be rewarded with your character's victory.

I deeply apologize to anyone who has been by this cruelty. It is my responsibility as this blog's operator to keep behavior civil, and it's something I've been mishandling up until now. This poll has grown well beyond what I originally thought it would be, it has since day one, and I need to prioritize learning how to handle its reach if it's something I want to continue.

The polls will still run as scheduled, this is not an announcement of a delay or cancelation, simply a firm reminder of where I stand on the harassment demonstrated by people in my follower base.

Thank you for your time and understanding. I hope going forward we can all be kinder to eachother, and understand that at the end of the day, we are here to show love towards our favorites, not hatred towards strangers that have done nothing to you.

I got my first Classic Mode 9.9 last night!

This was Peach's route. I had to use a ticket to continue with Master Hand and Crazy Hand, but thankfully, Bowser got me to 9.9 beforehand. King K. Rool was also generous enough to die to a lucky down-B Bob-Omb.

I'm still struggling with Daisy's route; I've only made it to 9.8. Zelda and Lucina are generally fine, but it's a rollercoaster after that. Rosalina is either super annoying, juggling me like there's no tomorrow, or I'm able to KO her in 30 seconds using the walk-off. I don't know how to manage Corrin's range yet, so she still scares me, but I can gimmick her with Toad and items. The Miis are a 50/50, either dying in rapid succession or ganging up on me with hive mind levels of coordination. And if I make it past the Miis with an intensity of 9.0 or higher, Peach goes sicko mode and does crazy combos that I don't even know how to do yet.

I'll get there. Eventually. I hope.

I'll probably take a break and go for the Palutena and Snake achievements in the meantime. They have lax difficulty requirements, so they shouldn't be too bad (even though I've never played as them).

Hey, I have a quick, unimportant question for all of you.

Examples of lines released during each year:

2010: Core, Gloom Beach, Dawn of the Dance

2011: School's Out, Sweet 1600, Dead Tired

2012: Dot Dead Gorgeous, Ghouls Rule, Scaris

2013: 13 Wishes, New Scaremester, Sweet Screams

2014: Freaky Fusion, Gloom and Bloom, Coffin Bean

2015: Great Scarrier Reef, Monster Exchange, Freak du Chic

I chose not to include 2016 because, while there was technically a new G1 release, the year was focused more on the rollout of G2.

Do any of you think your dreams can tell you stuff about the future? Sometimes, I think mine can (not super seriously, but you know).

I had a dream about Funko FNAF Mystery Minis last night. Today, I found a single one from the Security Breach series at my local Five Below...and some mint Pocky.

I put my Pocky in the fridge, then opened the Mini box. I felt the figure through the black bag. It was a Glamrock Freddy (1/6), who I already have one of. A bit annoying, as there are two guaranteed Freddies in every case, but I'd still welcome him into my collection.

But there are four variants of him in this series. Maybe it was one of the rarer ones, like his black-light version (1/24).

Rarer it was, indeed.

Glitter Freddy is one of the elusive 1/72 figures; there is only one of him in every sixth case of minis. I got him by pure coincidence, and I absolutely love him.
