#SECOND PLACE

[nerdicorntheshipper]

Listen I love the yes or no monologue as much as the next guy but something abt Brennan completely calm and matter of fact saying "I'm gonna get him. I'm gonna get Sam" followed by him running to Sam and fully grabbing him is so iconic

[mimicmerchant]

Sometimes the only offramp to a monologue is to physically attack your boss, and that's ok

If you have always been criticised, from before you can remember, it becomes more or less impossible to locate yourself in the time or space before the criticism was made: to believe, in other words, that you yourself exist.

i made the second place speech with blinkies.cafe. please enjoy

[Image Description: multiple blinkies in various styles. together, the text on them spells: "there is nothing wrong with second place. your best effort is all that anyone's asking for. and if you give your best and you come in second, you come in third, you come in last, it's not about winning or losing. it's about giving it everything you've got. now, Sam has built a monument to devilry and chaos, i deserve second place. i came in second. the only crime that's been committed here is that Oscar and Ally deserve first. we should be applauding them for getting more points. but in this sick rodeo, this bizzare, fucked-up clown festival that Sam has put together, we're celebrating what i can only describe as the sickness at the core of America. and uh... i'm gonna get him. I'm gonna get Sam." End Description.]

my favorite part of "Dance is a sin" is how seriously brennan took the coordinating back stage. They clearly came up with a good idea for their dance and we will never see it

[emiko-matsui]

it's a shame the game was come second and not be mid because ally's compliment was the most fucking mid compliment in the world and they deserved to get that one

SECOND PLACE KING BLeeM does it again!

Finally! I get to post the best costume in the whole wide world!

(It's Luigi. Luigi number one. Except in horror trivia.)

After a month of waiting, I present Ghosthunter Luigi and Kingpin Boo!

These were so much fun to put together. Originally, this was going to be a solo costume, but my partner absolutely rocks suits and has some Italian in him, so his labors went into this sort of mob boss look. The sunglasses are more of a modern touch, but neither of us are great with wearing makeup. The cane was his idea; I just painted it.

As for Ghosthunter Luigi, I originally wanted to do something steampunk or at least Victorian. That evolved into a blend of that, Tim Burton, and turn-of-the-20th-century journalist. I definitely took some hints from Nellie Bly. The idea of this Luigi also being a journalist on the tails of some big underworld story is kinda interesting to think about. Dude really gets into situations, doesn't he?

Got some bonus pictures down below. I apologize for not getting more of the Poltergust in these shots. I did what I could.

We did this all for trivia night at the bar. Finished dead last after betting it all on the final question, but we got second place for the costume contest part, so that was neat.

And that's been my night! Good night!

P.S. I am tired. If the alt text is a bit shit, please let me know how to write it better.

as soon as brennan went into the back with oscar to prepare their dance, i knew he was going to sabotage it because it was the only way for him to get points in the round, but i thought he would just like, stand still, not THAT 😭😭

This is how it'll go:

BLACK is the winner. (Wahoo!)

This poll is about the second place.

The second place will be determined with a match between all the contestants who were eliminated by the ultimate winner, the black. They are the following colors, pick your favourite:

More explanation of my method of thinking for this second place poll is under the cut

If we presume that there's a real order of preference between the colors (probably isn't true but let's say it), now we know that black will win over everything: every color personally lost to black, or lost to a color that later lost to black.

What we don't know is that if black tortoiseshell silver blotched tabby bicolor would win over everything on the left side of the bracket. So I can't pronounce it as second until it defeats every color that lost only to black.

Here is the relevant part of the bracket, i highlighted the participants of the second place bracket with yellow.

As you can see, they all lost their respective matches to black AND NOTHING ELSE. This means we can't know how much they'd win against all the other colors.

I think it's more fair and also more interesting if they all have a chance to win the second place, so here we are!
