"I don't understand how I'm losing," Reigen said, his hands flying over his keyboard. It was so late now—too late, maybe—if only he'd used the same technique as with the Player Killer from the beginning, he might have stood a chance, but he hadn't seriously thought he'd lose—

"Shishou," Mob said, "why is this so important? You already have second place from Twitter."

Reigen laughed, not at all nervously, and splayed a hand across his forehead. "You don't understand, Mob. The publicity from something like this, even a rematch, would do wonders for Spirits and Such. This is about business."

(He would never admit to his pride being on the line.)

"And anyway, who is this guy? A radio host? I've been on TV, you know."

Mob carefully did not bring up what had actually happened when Reigen made his television debut.

Ritsu had no such qualms. "When they exposed you as a fraud? That was publicity too, right?"

"Hey—!"

Serizawa leaned over Reigen's shoulder to see the computer screen, careful not to spill the tea he placed on the desk. "Oh, Cecil from Welcome to Night Vale? It's been a while since I listened to that, maybe I should catch up."

Reigen stared at him. "You? What? Serizawa?"

"Ah... yeah." He rubbed the back of his neck. "Back when I was... well, when I didn't leave my room much, the podcast was popular. I guess it gave a sense of... community? Feeling less alone, even when you are." He shrugged. "Plus, hearing another gay man in a show like that was comforting."

"He's gay? Canonically?" Why can't I be gay canonically?

"Sure, he got married in episode 100. It was very emotional."

"I nearly died in our chapter 100—"

Well, listeners, there's still a few hours left on the poll, but I'm now leading at 56%! I must say, I did not expect this, especially after Twitter users so clearly forgot—or perhaps never knew—about my Tumblr Sexyman Origins.

But, that's neither here nor there. I certainly am grateful, if a bit bemused, about all of this, but let us not forget that this is all a friendly competition. Unlike the annual War On Christmas—and let us all take a moment to remember our fallen allies against that terrible holiday foe—this is a battle of kindness. Love, even. The love we feel for Tumblr, for our favorite sexy men, for pressing a button on a meaningless internet poll. The love we feel, listeners, for each other.

And in the spirit of that love and friendliness, I figured I'd get to know my opponent a little better! A bit of googling, which of course you know means searching via every search engine but Google, what with the Town Council imposing the Google Search Tax and getting all Night Vale IP addresses shadowbanned, has led me to... oh my, listeners. I do not know who made this, but Reigen Arataka has the single most beautiful professional web page I have ever encountered. It's... words do not do it justice. I am tearing up. This... I could not make anything better myself.

A-hem. Listeners, now that I've wiped away the tears such beauty inspired in me, I can now see that Reigen's website advertises his business, one Spirits and Such Consulting. Well! We may be rivals in this moment, but I am overjoyed to learn that Reigen runs such an innovative and important business! I am nearly ashamed that, while my opponent works to make the world a better place, I, a mere community radio host, am winning the sexyman contest.

Nevertheless, we must respect the polls. Not respecting polls could get us in hot water with the Town Council, or with the demigods of numbers who lurk in the sharp edges of percentages. So since I can't hand my victory over to him, I think I'll do what I can as a community radio host, and promote Reigen Arataka's important business!

So if you're a spirit in need of counseling, a ghost in need of therapy, or an eldritch beast in need of a shoulder to cry on, head on over to Seasoning City and pay our good friend Reigen a visit! I'm sure he'll be pleased as anything to see you.

This time Algy was ready and waiting…

So when the sea rushed in where fluffy birds fear to tread, Algy stood not upon the order of his going but went at once, leaping up into the air with glee, chortling happily at the waves below as they entreated him in vain to take swimming lessons once again…

Hovering low over the water at the point where the tide was washing in over the rocks, Algy began to dance in the sparkling spray, bobbing up and down with each new wave to prevent the surf from catching him by the tail feathers as he whirled and twirled just above the foam, and laughing and singing merrily at the top of his voice:

Oh friends, no more of these sounds! Let us sing more cheerful songs, More full of joy! Joy, bright spark of divinity, Daughter of Elysium, Fire-inspired we tread Thy sanctuary! Thy magic power reunites All that custom has divided; All men become brothers Under the sway of thy gentle wings.

Algy wishes you all a truly joyous Saturday 💕

[Algy is singing the opening (in a standard English translation) of the famous Ode to Joy by the 18th century German author and philosopher Friedrich Schiller. Those who are familiar with the even more famous setting by Beethoven are warmly invited to sing along 😀]

Happy Tumblr Anniversary, Teddy and friend! Algy has made a special post for you today, and he very much hopes that you won't mind the liberty he has taken and that Teddy will enjoy his magical visit to the wild west Highlands of Scotland ☺️ Sending you both lots and lots of very fluffy hugs, and wishing you many more wonderful (and safe!) adventures to come 🤗🤗🤗

Algy! Thank you so much :D Teddy did mention that he had had the most fantastic dream. He said in it he finally got to meet his dear friend Algy and was in an extremely beautiful location too! Teddy sends you back the furriest hugs. He hopes that one day he gets to see the wild West Highlands of Scotland on an adventure that’s not just the magical type (however special those are too). Teddy and I are so grateful for the friendship that Algy and his friend share with us. We hope you both continue having fantastic adventures too!!

Oh! And I guess I’ll have to share Teddy’s first ever post again too hmm

Today Algy is celebrating the very special tumblr anniversary of a unique and very special tumblr friend… Teddy of @adventureswithteddy.

Eleven years ago today, on 14th October 2013, just about 18 months after Algy first started posting his own adventures on tumblr, another much more intrepid fluffy – or, more accurately, furry – adventurer posted the first of his own adventures @adventureswithteddy on this amazing platform, where almost anything fantastic and wonderful becomes possible…

From that moment on, Algy was not the only non-human adventurer on tumblr, and in all those eleven years Algy has never come across another to compare. Occasionally he has seen a fluffy, cuddly or furry friend feature in some human's posts, but Teddy of @adventureswithteddy has remained exceptional in every way, and Algy knows that he has many devoted friends and followers.

For Teddy has not been satisfied with the the comparitively limited and gentle adventures of the kind which Algy has undertaken himself. Despite his relatively small size and soft, cuddly exterior, Teddy is bold and dauntless, travelling to exotic parts of the world and daring to go where fluffy birds would most certainly fear to tread, or even to fly! Teddy has scaled enormous mountains, crossed great, rocky plateaux, and travelled through magnificent ravines, as well as visiting less intimidating locations such as the beautiful shores of distant tropical islands. He has even visited the Great Wall of China! There are truly no bounds to Teddy's adventures on this earth…

But Algy knew that there was one adventure which Teddy had never yet undertaken… Although Algy longed to meet him in person, Teddy had never visited the wild west Highlands of Scotland… until today, that is, when some very special magic allowed Teddy – who in reality lives many thousands of miles away – to join Algy for a joyful celebration of his tumblrversary 💕

Algy realises that the wee ravine through which his own quiet burn flows down to the sea must seem like a miniature toy compared with the massive canyons which Teddy has explored, but he hopes that Teddy will enjoy the relative peace of his quiet day in the wild west Highlands of Scotland, and will perhaps relate many tales of weird and wonderful adventures around the great wide world, as he rests on the soft moorland grasses with Algy.

Happy 11th Anniversary Teddy and kind human friend @adventureswithteddy ❤️ Algy wishes you many, many more amazing adventures, and hopes that you will continue to share them with us all:

May the road rise up to meet you.  May the wind be always at your back.  May the sun shine warm upon your face,  the rains fall soft upon your fields, and until we meet again,  may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

[Algy is quoting a famous Irish blessing for travellers.]
