Fanart for Funsies ends today, BUT since only one person was able to submit I am going to extend the time. Now, how long do you all need?

Whichever is picked will have that be expanded upon when the poll ends. Get your works in and don’t forget to have fun!

If people like the baby au/dad eclipse au enough in the future, should I maybe start an ask blog?

Question for a fic: How old do y'all think Knuckles Wachowski is in the second movie? I know he's maybe a year or two older than Sonic in the games, but Sonic is younger in the movies, so...

I definitely believe Sonic was 12 in movie 1, and 13 in movie 2. But I don't ... feel like Knuckles is 14. I feel like he might be 15, if not 16. Idk. I need some help, guys. 😅

Can't believe I only noticed today that I've had polls all along 😒

I'm abroad at the moment but will soon return to my home and I've been having the creativity itch. So I thought I'd give power to the people and have you decide for me!

Please reblog for more votes ❤️

If this goes well I might do this more often :D

that post about how young people use computers these days (or rather, how they don’t, instead preferring to use their phones) got me wondering

by computer skills i mean basic skills like typing, navigating menus/directories/folders, using word processors or other programs, using removable storage, etc. NOT computer science or programming.

It's almost a tie! What is he? We don't have long for a final decision.

Obviously inspired by Critter, Creature, or Beast.

I have seen three different "how much of this site is queer" polls this evening poking fun at staff's 1/4 assertion and not a single indication any of them understand statistics. One someone even replied "This might have some sampling bias" what do you mean might what do you mean SOME

Bout to start gnawing and biting motherfuckers on here, istg. Fuck you third party voters, fuck you "I didn't vote because that would taint me", fuck you holier-than-thou moral purity fuckers. Fuck anyone who voted for Trump.

For curiosity's sake...

Also for those saying they're 'out of order' they're grouped by type - Sacraments of Initiation, then Healing, then Service.

Not in the order you'd typically receive them *eye roll*

While we wait for our final four to come down to the last two, here's another fun poll! Choose your favorite sacrament.

If you don't know what they are or need a refresher, click here.

If you're looking for a free way to help with the election IT'S BALLOT CURING

Every election there are people who voted early but there was some issue with their ballot, so their vote won't count. And they have no idea. In 2020 more than half a million ballots were rejected. Ballot Curing is where you volunteer to call these people, and tell them they need to vote in person after all, so that their vote DOES get accepted.

I know not everybody has the money to donate, but that doesn't make you powerless. Ballot Curing in battleground states is THE way to help.

For those of us with phone anxiety, remember: these are people who voted EARLY. They WANT their vote to count. They WANT to receive this call from you.

If you're in a state where your vote doesn't feel like it matters very much, this is how you get votes that are worth more.

Wouldn't you rather come out the other side of this election, win or lose, knowing that you tangibly contributed to the outcome? This is how.

Please reblog this. We have SO little time left to make a difference.

Pick a song from a bad description! You do not have to recognize any of the songs to vote (although tbh I feel like this is one of my most obvious ones -- there is an actual song title in one of the choices). Just go from the vibes. Pick whichever is funniest to you, or matches your current situation, or whatever makes a random bad song description appeal to you.

At the end of the week, I will take the poll results and use them to arrange the songs in a playlist, from the song with the lowest amount of votes to the song with the highest amount of votes. If you would like to hear the playlist, leave a comment or put it in the tags of your reblog, and I will tag you when the playlist goes up. And if you really can't wait to know what a song is, send me an ask and I will answer it.

And please reblog the poll! 'Cause this is as close as I can come to sending you guys a mixtape, so if you share it with your followers and they share it with their followers it's like we're all getting a mixtape, and that's fun. So let's keep the mixtapes moving.

Round 1 Final Stats:

The top phyla have been ranked thusly, listed here from highest ranking to lowest:

🪲 Arthropoda ~ 2,002

🍴 Entoprocta ~ 111

👛 Cycliophora ~ 110

🦷 Gnathostomulida ~ 100

🏹 Chaetognatha ~ 83

🧶 Gastrotricha ~ 82

🐙🔍 Dicyemida ~ 19

🦪🔍 Orthonectida ~ 12

🐴✂️ Nematomorpha ~ -37

The top 3 phyla are Arthropoda, Chordata, and Mollusca!

This means Arthropoda, Chordata, and Mollusca will be moving on to Round 2, and broken up by Class (or some other phylogenetic equivalent).

But that’s not all!

After Round 2, we will have an extra Round 2.5, featuring every other phylum that received over 1,000 points! This will give some of the more highly ranked phyla a second chance to move on, and make Round 3 a little more interesting.

Round 2.5 will include Cnidaria, Platyhelminthes, Tardigrada, and Ctenophora.

(Unfortunately, I can’t include Onychophora as it only contains 2 families without class or order ranking, so I will have to preemptively move them forward to Round 4 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

To give myself enough time to queue up polls, Round 2 will begin November 1st.

See you then!
