Holy Jesus Christ on high, may my soul rest in peace because I adored these forms- I had to think carefully about how I'd go about closing up this contest, so sorry about the delay! After a good bit of deliberation, I decided to deviate from how I judged my other comp and mainly show my appreciation to my top picks. It was both a very good thing and a very bad thing to allow songs in the forms ;0; It created an atmosphere that really gave these forms their extra little nuances that kinda made me feel like I was watching a movie without the visuals, if that made any sense. Cool movies, at that.

As always, feel free to question my decisions! I did end up getting second opinions (but still couldn't decide, which explained the delay) I have notes on all the forms, positive or critical opinions that I had on them, so feel free to pm me if you wanna see them :0c My pm box is open, and I wanna give constructive feedback in any way that I can!

I shall be working backwards- an honorable mention (very honorable, make no mistake) will be going to LOCW_Bluestarwarrior! The way your whole form was set up as one huge cohesive story was simply the most charming and poetic thing I've borne witness to, you have no clue how much I love that type of format ;0; What really got to me was how you expressed the personality through the story! And as a member of a large family, filial relationships have always tugged at my heart strings. ;u; I adored the sibling relationship on an internal level (admittedly I'm not as close to my siblings, but knowing they have my back is more than enough <3) The soundtrack just served to accentuate the festival-like quality to the story~ (and quality A++ songs u got there ;0c )

I would like to offer you something however? Pm me if you wanna know what it is ;u; It's a small thing but if you're interested then I'd love to give it to you<3

Before you read on, just know this- I had such a difficult time choosing between your forms, Niner and Alex. They were both beautifully constructed and written in their own unique ways, and hgnn it took me a good 24 hours to stick to my decision.

---

I'll be offering a RU to 9-9-999, if you're willing to take it! The viscet would have a rare trait of your choosing + little companions and any items you want me to add if you wanna see them on the ref :0c You can choose colors, etc etc<3 If not then I'll choose (I mean you can leave it up to me if ya want, but //shrug) If not, the RU can be exchanged for 2 stubs.

Your form was airtight and super efficient in conveying character. I loved the little easter eggs dispersed in it ;0; I kinda teared up when I saw the okami inspirations? I love you, so much for including that And the nine lives lore and explanation behind the companions was super interesting? Holy, homie like that is freaking cool as heck how you made the character so dependent on the little companions. bUT my personal favorite part of your form was how developed the lives were- fleshing them out in such a way to give them coherent personalities and identities is what I saw your form do that the others didn't. Beautiful touch<33 The soundtrack just served to tie it all in- especially concerning the personality and how it paired with the song<3

Finally, congrats to _Alex_! Your form literally blew me away. The charm and overall feel to the celestial being almost immediately drew me in- the explanation behind his fatigue was beautifully tragic, the art was amazingly descriptive, the origin of the wisps was insightful and amazingly unique, and the name was on point (Like even if you aren't a theist, the symbolic nature of the name Judas is iconic and the way you tied it into his history and personality made me smile through the whole thing.)

I'm not usually to huge on romantic relationships, but your form made me fall in love with Judas' pining ;^; It was heartbreaking seeing Judas fall from power, and Nashira's cruelty added to the storyline in an interesting way.

And?? The music?? Beautiful, hands down ;0; What really struck a chord with me was the contrast in Davy Jone's Theme Song- it fit really well with how the story snippet shifted in tone. The first time I played the music I jumped when the orchestra changed, ngl, and it was right around the part where Judas' dreams warped

So cool

Anyhow, the route of a tragic character was beautifully executed, and I hope that you enjoy Judas<3

Thanks to everyone for entering! All you lovely folks ;0;

Congratulations bluestarwarrior on your honorable mention! And a huge congratulations to Alex! You're forum was really good if you want him to be friends or anything with any of my viscets I am totally up for it! I am excited to see how you progress his story!

And thank you so much, Placebo! It has honestly been so long since I competited that I really didn't think I'd get anything, let alone a runner up and I am genuinely honored. I will message you soon, I am super excited to see the beautiful creation you make!

Edit;; I almost forgot!!! Alex, you may keep the art used in my forum, however I cannot remove the weapons shown in it and I'd also prefer you don't use the idea they exsist for so you can either make something up or just keep the art as side art, but you're creative so I'm sure you can think of something that will fit it somehow

Congrats! Can't say I'm not disappointed, but I'll win a festival viscet someday. Just gotta keep trying. You can use my art of the eye and the sketch, I don't care, as long as I get credit. The story, however, will be recycled into a new character or form so please do not use it!

Thanks for the mention, and glad my form was okay! I'll send my PM shortly.

There are so many events I know you can do it! And dude, you're doing great. If I can help in the one of the future events I'll totes try, cause you're form was super sweet so don't be discouraged!

Congrats to the winners, this was such an intense comp, I don't envy Placebo for having to judge this one ^^

[_Alex_]

omg thank you so much!!!! this was the best thing to come home to today honestly. I love this dude so much already <3 I'm so glad you enjoyed his form, i had such a great time putting it together. and tbh, Davy Jone's Theme Song is one of my favorite instrumental pieces, i'm so glad it fit in there well c: (also, can i be added please when you get a chance? no rush though ^^)


and congrats to you too Niner! ngl, i loved your form so much! i can't wait to see what you and placebo do with your RU (if you take it of course). and thank you for letting me have the art! i'm thinking that the weapons will be something he sees himself having in a dream. totally not real, but still a decent reason to have art of them cx and dreams are a big part of him afterall cx

and congrats to you too Bluestarwarrior! and just keep on trying! you'll get an event viscet soon with that attitude! c: (and if you ever want help, just hmu. i'd be happy to help out where i can ^^ )(also don't worry, i have no intentions of using your story. i can tell you worked hard on that and i wouldn't want to steal it from you)
