April 2025 Caption Contest Winners!

It's been 2 weeks it's time to announce the winners of the April caption contest!

The captions, as always, were really great so because we had so many good ones, I'll pick 3 honorable mentions and 3 winners (1st, 2nd, and 3rd place ranked).

Each winner will get to choose a prize if they wish (but you don't have to, you can just participate for fun too.) The prizes are extra Steam codes that I've acquired. If you won and want a prize, please contact me. 

The honourable mentions can get a prize if any of the winners decline (I will contact you if that happens, the prize order for honourable mentions will be selected randomly so the order you're listed here doesn't mean that's the order I will contact you in).

So here are the entries, organized by the platform they were submitted on:

Fedi/Mastodon:

Arcadiagt5: “Just as well the back is already disconnected from everything, it’ll hurt less that way…” Waitworry: truth being returned to her well for shaming mankind

Disqus:

Adriano: After Superman got us used to briefs over pants, Wonder Woman goes to the next level: thongs over pants. Also Lolth there should really have fallen with her legs, not her kidneys. Adriano: "The itsy bitsy spider crawled up the water spout. Down came the war goddess, and threw the spider on a truck. Up came the sun, and dried up all the kidneys, So itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again." Alan D: Superhero cheerleader practice goes wrong - "I said those dreadlocks were too big!" Imry: Two arms, two legs, a head, and... four spider legs?? Dammit, I'll never summon a proper torso. I swear these gacha pulls are rigged. MaryKaye: "Lolth accepts your service! Rise, my new drider minion!" tytalus: Praise the sun, indeed!

Tumblr:

chaoscheebs: Lady crashing into the top of the truck: OW FUCK THIS HURTS MORE THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD. Sword lady: OH SHIT BABE I'M COMING FOR YOU NO JACKASS TRYOUT VIDEO IS WORTH YOU GETTING HURT FOR REAL.  D: elkian: "Oh, god, your limbs! I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to dunk you THAT hard!" haveievermentioned: It looks so easy when Tom Holland does it. heymerle: "Sorry about breaking your tailbone - next time learn to fall properly!" jaculvaserinelozor: "That's it, you're going into the cement dimension" little-robin-h00d: "We love to stay at the Y- milkawa-and-co: "You fell again ?! What should a woman do to find someone who can perform the YMCA !" mossbone: "Go team go! Spider football gives you brass! Get up and go kick their ass!" 📣🎉 princessinpants: Knocked her right out of her pants! silveraptor: “Oh no! No! No! NO! We’ve been going steady since that damn convention, I am NOT sharing you with any tentacle monsters!” soap-lady: One should always use the right tool for the right job.  For a small spider, a show is fine. For giant spider, even if it only has four limbs, throw a girl at her. For best results, wear as little as possible so it doesn't get caught on the spider's leg hairs. spears-and-tears: Her jumping jacks bring all the spider-ladies from the ceiling. thevikingfish-nimhrodell: *slams a body on the roof of the car* "This baby can hold so much anatomy!" twilight-owl: Girl got hit so hard she's phasing through multiple dimensions at once! vaspider: "By the spirit of the bean, from the heart of the refrying pan, via the sacred onion and holy garlic, we summon thee, Oh Flatulus the Mighty!"

The honorable mentions go to: Adriano, @little-robin-h00d and @spears-and-tears

The runner-ups are: 

In third place: @vaspider: "By the spirit of the bean, from the heart of the refrying pan, via the sacred onion and holy garlic, we summon thee, Oh Flatulus the Mighty!"

In second place: @thevikingfish-nimhrodell: *slams a body on the roof of the car* "This baby can hold so much anatomy!"

And the winner is... Waitworry: truth being returned to her well for shaming mankind

Congratulations to all the winners and a big thank you to everybody who participated! I love reading all your creative and funny captions.

Stay tuned in May for another caption contest!

If you won and would like a Steam code as a prize, please message me with which prize you would like.  If you came in 2nd, message me with 2 choices in order of preference...  I'll give you your top choice that hadn't been taken by the other winners. (To clarify, every winner only gets 1 prize, but winners other than the one in first place should give me their list of games in order of preference so if one is taken, I'll give you the next on the list.  It makes it easier for me to hand out the prizes.)

If the winner or the runner ups don't claim a prize, then I will pick from the honorable mentions randomly to claim a prize if they want one.

The Steam codes I have available as prizes are for: Aragami, Beyond The Edge of Owlsgard, GoNNER, Hotel Giant 2, Peachleaf Pirates, Riot: Civil Unrest, Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, Such Art: Genius Artist Simulator, and Survivalist.

Stumbled upon your master list of SW meta you wrote, and enjoyed reading through some of them, especially the ones that examined and defended the jedi order. I point to the jedi order in particular because when you pointed out that the number of jedi in the galaxy are proportionally smaller compared to a planet with a population in the trillions, it reminded me of a bad take regarding the order (which is conflated with the whole "the jedi are actually the bad guys" in SW): that the jedi are eugenicists because their adoption of force sensitive children. This never sat right with me given that the jedi never seemed the type to be concerned with propagating their numbers in some form of "purity" (genetic or force sensitivity wise). Any chance you can gleam into the nitty-gritty of this take's unsavory implications?

OOf, that's an old ask, and that reminds me that I really need to update that masterlist 😅 (and me saying that is an even older draft, oops 😂)

Okay, the idea of the Jedi being *eugenicists* is SO out of left field that I feel like it doesn't even deserve to be really addressed so much as mocked, because words mean things.

To be quite fair, I don't think I've ever seen anybody seriously use that word. (It may very well have happened tho, I just can't remember somebody seriously making the claim and sticking to it.) Even the infamous KT rant (see below) doesn't call them that - the extremely weird and frankly absurd take is that they embody supremacist ideas and that people who are into them believe there is such a thing as an inherently superior person. She does use the word "Nazi" (just wow), but I don't think she was going for the eugenics part, just the run of the mill white supremacy theories. People on both sides of the argument may have misquoted/misinterpreted her on that though.

(Seriously woman, why were you even writing for Star Wars?! YOU DIDN'T EVEN LIKE IT!)

Now, eugenics? (This post is so weird to write, I can't even) ⇊

It is LAUGHABLE to use it in relation to the Jedi Order, because as you accurately put it, the Jedi just aren't interested in... making babies.

Do they force their members to procreate, even artificially? Absolutely not.

Are they seeking to improve the Order by only taking in the healthiest, strongest, most powerful children? No. They were ready to reject Anakin, for one thing.

Are they studying how to arrange reproduction in the rest of the galactic population? No.

Is there a ban on non-Jedi Force sensitives having children of their own? No. Are they forced or even strongly encouraged to have children of their own? No.

Do Jedi control who Force-sensitives are allowed to have children with? No.

Do Jedi test for Force-sensitivity and keep records of it? Yes. But they don't seem to keep genealogies - there's nothing that says the list in the Holocron is a permanent one either - rather, the way it's phrased and the way there's only babies on it, names are probably erased eventually. And the purpose of the list has nothing to do with increasing the occurence of Force-sensitivity.

Are non-Jedi Force sensitives forced by law to give up their kids? No.

Do Jedi automatically take in Force-sensitive children anyway? No. Bardotta and Dathomir are right there and nobody's bothering them.

Is the Order ableist? No. We even see plenty of disabled Jedi and nobody is throwing them out. (Amputees like Anakin and elderly people like Yoda and Tera Sinube, for starters. Also Prosset Dibs, or Tahl in Legends).

The Force isn't even proven to be reliably 'transmissible' from one generation to the next - the Force 'being strong' in particular families may just as easily be for more spiritual reasons depending on how you want to look at it. Because, you know, Star Wars isn't all literal.

IT'S JUST SO DUMB.

NOTHING ABOUT HOW THE ORDER WORKS HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH WHAT THAT WORD MEANS.

(I'm sorry I'm not dissing you for the ask I just don't get how anybody could ever have said that 😂😭)

Guitar Hero/Rock Band

never played | want to play | terrible | boring | okay | good | great | a favorite

best game my friend and i keep talking about getting it and starting a band lol

[jacquesthepigeon]

Jeez the s4 finale sounds rough. Now I have to wonder how the entire story could have been improved/salvaged? If I didn't have fun riffing on this series with my siblings, I'd have dropped ML by now. Just... oof

Honestly I think it got the order of events all wrong and could’ve been done well if it had been planned out long beforehand, like having Hawky get the miraculouses in the S3 finale instead of S4, and if they skipped the Chat drama cuz that was supposedly resolved in Kuro Neko, not invalidated Marinette’s efforts to rely on others just bc it wasn’t on Chat, made Lila’s presence matter for anything other than making Marinette’s friends doubt her, etc.

Does it ever bother you when people act like Steven Universe is somehow the new standard of “how cartoons treat their antagonists” when it is literally the only show that doesn’t treat good and evil as absolutes?

Yeah.

I remember seeing a post about Ironwood's characterization in the previous volumes in contrast to how he was in Volume 8, but I do not remember who made the post. I want to say it was one of your posts, or a post from a mutual. Any chance you can recall the post?

Hmm... tough question. Mostly because I’ve been talking about Ironwood’s characterization a great deal the last two years (lol), mostly through answering asks that I don’t organize onto my meta page. Recently I answered an ask about the group’s characterization in Volume 7 and how that reflects back on Ironwood’s characterization, and a while back I made a PowerPoint looking at his Volume 1-6 characterization... but honestly, I’m not sure which post this might be. If it was even mine to begin with. 

If it feels like the post wasn’t from too long ago, I’d recommend checking out @why-i-hate-rwby-now. They’ve written numerous metas on the subject, reblogged a number of my posts, as well as those who have also been critical of RWBY in recent years. So it’s a good repository of like-minded material. You might find it somewhere there :)

Pharah from Overwatch

Sexuality Headcanon: Bi Gender Headcanon: Cis A ship I have with said character: Phamercy is one I’ve had sometimes. A BROTP I have with said character: Brigitte, Overwatch 2nd gen brats! A NOTP I have with said character: No one really. A random headcanon:  Still idolizes what Overwatch used to be. General Opinion over said character: I loved her concept, but once Ana came around she became MUCH better. Like, how many mother-daughter bonds there are in games? Of POC characters? With both playable characters?

[tovanori]

For the ask: Mocktails

mocktails: cold weather or hot weather?Oh cold weather all the way!! I like wearing layers and jackets and being cozy

Shipping asks 1, 2, 7, and 18?

1. What was your first OTP? 

My veryvery first OTP was probably like. Sango/Miroku from InuYasha :D In CR it was definitely Beau/Yasha. They talked for like two seconds and I was a goner.

2. What is your current OTP? 

I can never decide. I love BeauYasha, CalebMolly, BeauJester, EssikCaleb ... I just have a whole army of OTPs :‘D (Other things I have feelings for atm are mostly my own OCs shipped with OCs of my friends and boyfriend ^^)

7. Are most of your ships “pure” or “problematic”? 

I don’t like today’s weird shipping discourse. I like what I like. My stuff is “unproblematic” in the sense that I don’t ship incest, abusive stuff or adults/minors. I wouldn’t call my ships “pure” either. But I do enjoy healthy relationships above all else!

18. What is your favorite unpopular ship?

already answered

Hearing about what happens in tlou2 makes me think of how i felt about borderlands 3: the story ultimately brings down the whole product

the story for borderlands 3 was such a let down

Tell me about your first kiss, if you had one - I don’t recall my very first one since it wasn’t that special, but the first kiss with Nai was awesome. It was nice and slow and we gave each other time to pull away if need be, then when the kiss happen it was just wow y’know? it felt amazing and we started dating shortly after and have been together ever since.

What... what the fuck is this anon trying to say?

Classic indecipherable but vaguely threatening anon hate i think?????

[nexstrik]

What song/band/musician name would you use as your Stand's name?

 my brain defaults to TOXIC and I could poison people with a kiss ..... or maybe my stand gives them the kiss so to normal viewers it just looks like they drop dead 

or INVINCIBLE and I can electrocute anybody who touches me and create electric barriers to protect my friends..... they finally came to destroy the earth / they’ll have to get through you first. 

IDk, I’m not super creative! Those are just the first two that come to mind
