Silly Game Time: Who is your favorite dog or canine-like character across all genres of fiction? If you can't choose just one, then list them all!

Oooh, the alternate to the cat question, I see…

First of all, do you see this thing?

It's part of probably THE saddest episode of the Kirby anime. Look how adorable… It's loyal, it's playful, it's friendly, and it deserves all the good things. Unfortunately, it doesn't really have a name besides being the robo-pet Kirby has.

Next, this is Scratch

Such a good boy. He just wants you to be okay! You can give him so many pets and play fetch with him and I LOVE HIM. He's supposed to be a battle companion but I have yet to summon him because NO ONE HURTS THE BOY…

Cerberus!!!

It doesn't matter that only one of the heads likes being pet, all three are still delightful company. The way they'll literally tear a place apart if Zagreus goes missing is very sweet. Not to mention that along with petting him, you get to give him treats! And who wouldn't!!!

Death to Chronos, by the way. So excited to see what becomes of Hades 2.

Honourable mentions: K.K Slider, various dog villagers in Animal Crossing, Barbas in Skyrim, the various stable dogs in BOTW/TOTK, and ofc, Nintendogs as a whole.

I probably should have done this back when the fictional cat question was asked, huh.

Silly Game Time: Let's play "2 Truths and 1 Lie" about yourself and see if I and your followers can guess which is the lie!

Oookay, let's see...

[jkl-fff]

How many people said something along the lines of on/in/by [government building] for the flamingo? That's got to be one of the most common answers, right?

Also, how many people do you send these asks to? I NEED STATISTICS

Alright, we'll go ahead and call it now for statistical analysis purposes.

Some quick context for my followers who are unfamiliar with my daily, little project called "Silly Game Time" (and if this makes you interested in it, let me know in the replies, and I'll start including you). Yesterday, I dispatched the following question to a bunch of people:

In every nation, a giant flamingo (300 feet or 91.4 meters tall) shall be erected. And *you* get to decide where one of them will go on your continent, without any restrictions at all! Where are you placing it?

Final Count of Respondants: 107.

(Which surprised me, honestly, since my vague guesstimation was that I sent it to between 60 and 70 different accounts. We can therefore probably assume that it was about 115 total recipients, being liberal in factoring in people who didn't answer, since the respondant number turned out to be so much higher than I believed even the total recipient number to be. This is because I do a first-time send to pretty much anyone who reblogs one of my posts to see if SGT would interest them. Some never answer, which is fine, of course.)

As for people who placed the giant flamingo *explicitly* on or in or beside a government building (regardless of nationality, regardless of if it was executive, legislative, judicial, or even clerical in one case),

that number is 15.

However, some of them are a bit ambiguous, not being *explicitly* buildings for governance, but arguably very linked to the concept of a nation, and thereby to its government. Maybe. For example, 4 put the flamingo through the homes (or flesh) of a despised politician (hells yeah). 4 put it in heart of their nation's capital city. And 8 put it beside, balancing on top of, or as a replacement for iconic landmarks and monuments. Some of these might be weaker cases (the Eiffel Tower and the Statue of Liberty), but others feel stronger (like the Washington Monument and Big Ben).

So there you go! And thanks for the fascinating question that gave me a fun, little side project throughout the day!

Silly Game Time: Okay, I've recently been put in charge of raising a black bear cub (don't ask), and I need some help coming up with a good name for it. What do you recommend?

Let's Get Back To Quacking 😎🦆

Silly Game Time: Bringing back a crowd favorite! Pick one story you really like (could be a movie, a show, a book, a game, etc.) and summarize it in *one* sentence. The more absurd-sounding the sentence is, the better!

An evil spirit made as a byproduct of an ancient demonic ritual gets sent to the Shadow Realm by the unholy power of sex before marriage.

Silly Game Time: Welcome to the Randomocracy, a society where we assign people to be the caretakers of randomly selected animals!

First, use a random *letter* generator to get a letter. Second, use a random *number* generator to get a number between 1 and 10. Finally, look up "animals that start with [your letter]", and go down the list until you get to the option corresponding with your number. CONGRATULATIONS! You are now responsible for ensuring this animal's well-being? What is it (post a picture), and on a scale of 1 to 10, how much is this going to impact your life?

(I got E and 1, which means I'm now the proud guardian of an Elephant! This is kinda awesome ... but also gonna ruin me financially.)

ooo this one sounds like a fun one! alright, lets see

my letter is T, and my number is 9. So that means my animal is...

a tamarin monkey!

as someone who is currently fixated on lego monkie kid, this is the best possible outcome. as for how much it will impact me? ...well im pretty sure owning them is illegal, so lets assume ive been tasked to take care of it in a legal way. i think if i was taught what to do i could do it? id be hella nervous at first, but a quick google search tells me while they dont make the best pets, the people that do care for them say they can be really sweet.

id probably say a 9/10 for nervousness, 7/10 for excitement, and 7-9/10 for impact, depending on if the one i get is nice or not.

Silly Game Time: Share a dumb joke with us! The dumber, the better!

If English isn't your first language, you can share a dumb joke from your native language (in fact, I'd almost prefer that).

Wie heißt das Reh mit Vornamen?

Kartoffelpü :D

(What is the first name of the deer? Mashed potatoes)

Because it actually just turned into Atlanta, Georgia and no one realised.
