try not to directly spoil it for other people but i’d love to know how you feel about the guy inside

formatting is a bit weird because the website was being weird with it

[gimmick-blog-bracket]

The final poll has reached its conclusion. The people have made their voices clear.

The blog most deserving to win this competition is hellsitegenetics!

But we arent done quite yet...

Can it beat ESTEBAN?

@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

Bonus Round 1/Semi-finals: Rosids vs Basal Eudicots

Apples of Discord vs Sacred Lotus

Rosids: The romantic clade. Do you want not only a dozen roses, but also a nice glass of wine and some strawberries dipped in chocolate to go with them? Of course you do. Vote Rosids. (And yes, this is also the cannabis clade, so light up/grab your edibles.)

Basal Eudicots: Here be funky flowers: the sacred lotus, poppies, the king protea of South Africa and the waratah of Australia. Also, macademia nuts.

(What's a eudicot? The class that won the previous round. More info here. Many taxonomic categories can be divided up into "basal" and "core" members, the basal ones splitting off the evolutionary tree relatively early on, while the core ones have a more recent common ancestor.)

[dropouttvpollbrackets]

While I'm pondering future brackets, have a bonus poll with a surprise last minute contestant! It's......... SAM REICH! He's been here the whole time!

Yes, that's right, I excluded him from the bracket mostly because as CEO of Dropout he's kinda a different category of cast member than everyone else. But you know what? He really went off with this unhinged-ass season of Game Changer so I think he deserves a chance to face off against our Official Unhinged King, Ally Beardsley! Now, as we all know, the only way to begin is by beginning, so without further ado.... let's begin!

[doyoulikethissong-poll]

Obsessed with your blog!!

If you're up for it, I'd love a poll about what people's criterias are for liking a song 👀. Like maybe it's like

I vote yes on a song if..

I just vibe with it in general but probably wouldn't put it on my playlist

I would put it on my playlist

I've heard it before and I've already liked it

It has to be all of the above or else I don't like it

Interesting to find out! :D
