Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

So when my mom was going back to school for her masters, I was a little kid and got enrolled in the on-campus pre-school where they give people going into child care professions some hands on experience while also offering a free place to drop off your kid when going to class.

Anyway I found the portfolio they made of me back then and honestly this one entry almost made me cry when I got to the end.

Alright! It's time for the Cull Polls!

So, we've got 222 blogs in this competition, and we've got to get that down to 128. That means that 94 blogs have to go. And that's a lot of polls—94 to be exact.

Most of these will be a simple, randomly assigned, 1v1. One blog wins. One blog loses. Unfortunately, there will have to be some Cull Polls with 3 blogs, due to the amount of blogs in them (190) not being double the amount of eliminations needed (94). For these, the blog with the LEAST VOTES gets eliminated, and the other two are kept.

Now you might have noticed a discrepancy. 222 blogs made it here, but only 190 are in the Cull Polls. What gives? Where did 32 of those blogs go?

Here's the thing: I lied to you in my pinned post. The amount of times someone was submitted DOES matter! I just said that so that people didn't spam. If they get submitted 2 or more times, they skip the Cull Polls entirely! That being said, here is the list of blogs that automatically have a place in the actual competition:

Give me a moment to sort out the polls themselves, as well as sorting out the propaganda submitted for them (which I really should have been doing during the qualifying polls, but I digress) but they should start soon

1956, PEZ released a space gun-shaped dispenser that shot out fruit-flavored tablets.

"price includes genuine pez space gun permit"

12/23/2023— this somehow got 400+ likes today, almost a full year after it was posted. Entirely from @randomitemdrop. Thanks, Tumblr.

The family Cotididae of @dailyquests. More info under the cut.

I'm going to explain a little on the genera. To the left, the "Systema" genus has to do with blogs that act as the "System" within a game. There are two unnamed subgenera within Systema, those pertaining to corporeal things, and noncorporeal alerts/messages. The second genus, "Actus", has to do with blogs acting as NPCs within the system.

Sidenote: On the list collecting most of these blogs, someone left a reply saying @/randomitemdrop may be a part of this family. However, this blog does not share the typical "exclamation mark" gimmick that seems to be a common trait, and was created before @/dailyquests, upon examining the archives.

@/randomitemdrop was created in December of 2017, while @/dailyquests is far more recent.

trick of treat 🎃🫴

Happy Halloween!! (I am stealing images from @randomitemdrop from here on out so things are going to get a little weird)

What must I farm to get something for convenient goblin-toting? They’re such useful little buggers, but such a pain to haul around!

The obvious joke is one of those baby carrier harness deelies, but you don't wanna use that for something with that many claws and that short an attention span. Which of course takes us to a better answer: it depends how big your local goblins are; these bubble backpacks are barely big enough for the cats they're marketed for, but if your goblin fits it should do the trick.

Failing that, the fridge part of those old bicycle ice cream carts are a great substitute for the cramped and dank conditions of goblins' natural caves. Just take the bells off so you don't attract human children.

These blogs aren’t part of the epprbcu/punctuationverse, but they have a similar theme or interact with us often and I think they deserve a shout out
