Final Match!!!!!!!!!

[multiversal-selfshipper]

It still cracks me up that Boba has such a good dad voice that he can even get a hangry Deviljho to listen to him.

Granted, it helps that Kosher Dill is crazy about him, but still, the fact that his voice can override her appetite is wild to me.

uncommon pets in fiction

I just think these guys need more attention

3️⃣: rats 🐀

What’s more that needs to be said. Just have a rat perched on someone’s shoulder for the whole time and occasionally have them bite people. Additionally, rats can be trained, and in a fantasy story, you can just make them do literally anything! If you want to be accurate to the actual animal’s health, you probably want to add at least one other rat so that they don’t get lonely. But hey! Two rats are better than one!

2️⃣: frogs 🐸

Honestly, if a frog just sits on the head of the character for the whole time, it would be both hilarious and great for characterization! Is the character super calm and still so that the frog is comfortable enough to sit on them for long periods of time? Or, they can just hold the frog until someone gets them upset and then they release it. Basically an attack frog.

1️⃣: goat 🐐

It’s perfectly possible to just have this goat stand around and eat things, but it doesn’t have to be JUST that. Imagine you’re writing a standard warrior character, and the other characters see that they don’t carry their weapons on their back like a normal person—there’s just a goat by their side with a goat helmet carrying their sword/gun/whatever. If they ask the warrior why they don’t just use a horse, they get really upset and go on a tangent.

Animal Besties Tournament

These are the Disney Brackets:

This is the Non-Disney Bracket:

These are the brackets all again but with the names:

As you may have noticed, the first round of the Disney Brackets are pairs and the first round of the Non-Dinsey Bracket are, mainly, trios. This allowed us to get the most amount of entries into the tournament.

Here is the planned schedule for the first round:

September 16 - Disney Polls A (Mushu v Abu side)

September 19 - Non-Disney Polls E (Toothless v Falcon v Hobbes side)

September 23 - Disney Polls B(Dude v Rufus side)

September 26 - Disney Polls C (Pluto v Waddles side)

September 30 - Non-Disney Polls F (Rain v Boga v Zwei side)

October 3 - Disney Polls D (Archimedes v Captain Flint side)

Each poll will include the name and type of the animal plus what they are from and who is credited as their person.

Propaganda is welcomed and encouraged as long as it stays in the spirit of a fun game. This is not a hill to die on in anger guys, if you wanna die on one of these hills do it positively.

Hot tip: if you want to convince people please add propaganda because we will not become subject matter experts on the characters we have never heard of.

We hope y'all are as excited as we are to get underway!

edit: We wanted to point out that the word brackets may be a little different in part because we tried to order the pictures to be more complementary visually. Also, we fixed a few spelling errors on the polls (and in even a miss-named characters).

I could think of no better way to introduce Mika's dogs to you than this collage I just made

Her family has a few dogs, but hers are a Bernese Mountain Dog named Apollo, and a Samoyed named St. Petersburg Philadelphia.
