ahhhhHHhhhhhhhAI'M SO SORRY I DIDN'T GET THIS JUDGED SOONER, I promise I didn't mean to make you guys wait
before I say who one this darling though, I'd just like to say that I am utterly in love with everyone's form, and I so wish I could give you all this child. you all did such wonderful and creative things, every single one was well written, and had some really cool and hecking awesome concepts and ideas that I love so much, I'm really proud of you all <3
you all put a lot of thought and effort into this, I can tell, and that means a lot
this was honestly so hard for me to judge, and in the end I only managed to narrow it down to four and had to send them to six since I could not pick between them and went with what we both felt was best
also there needs to be more words for amazing because I'm over using them all just watch, I'm a giant sapppp
and this is very long I'm sorrybut anyway, the winner is Nikolina! welcome to the family! Tsuki is such a wonderful addition, and I can see the sisters all being great friends <3
The art in your form is positively stunning, and just so utterly beautiful, and the story, ahhhh, I love it. I instantly fell in love with your entry the moment I saw that art, and the piece at the end, is just, I honestly don't have the words. It's so detailed, and I am honestly so very impressed with those beautiful dresses, you really did a a phenomenal job with them and they fit so well. I also just adore the sort of tapestry/stained glass feel it has, thats honestly one of my favorite things and I love seeing that type of stuff in stories and books/art/movies.
For the story, I honestly did not see that end twist coming and it was just awesome, and you did a wonderful job of sprinkling the hints of that in throughout it. It's very creative and unique, and has a wonderful Japanese myth type feel to it, and I think that fits into the family so perfectly, and the koi connection is wonderful too. I'm really curious to know what happens now that she's apart of the family officially. I really like the relationship with family section too, and I can definitely relate to a lot of it
i'll send you the link to the discord we have for the family if you'd like to join it asap!
secondly, I'd also like to give a little something to Yuroshi, since honestly, it was such a struggle for me to pick between these two forms, and from the moment you had just the relationships done, I just continuously kept coming back to it. I absolutely adore everything you wrote, especially on Raiga's relationship with my Taura girl, and the little poem at the end, gah, I love it. The tie back, even if it's not intentional, to the requirement for Hareta's comp is something I love so much, and the other two extras are just as amazing. The one including the dragonfly distracting him made me smile so much, and I really wish so much I could give you an runner up besides the little thing I am able to give you. He seems like such an awesome little character, and there's just something truly special about your form that I'm honestly still drawn towards so much.
anyway, as a second place type prize, I'd like to give you my extra
claw edit that I received from the camp event <3
I'd also like to give special mentions to a couple people, aka the remaining two in the four I was suck on; kolyakunfirst, Dee (lovely name choice btw) is the most precious darling I have ever seen and I love him. The art is also so amazing, h o l y h e c k, and I adore the story so much. Medieval anything, especially knights and kings, is my jam and absolute favorite thing ever after my cats and writing, and you did an amazing job of making such a charming little story in it. His care for Hareta is just so sweet, and you wrote her well too. I'm always super impressed with your forms for other things, and I'm definitely impressed again <3
and snudder_madoI am a major detail person, I thrive on writing them and painting scenes, and the little details you threw in, like how when he was much smaller, he used to play with his momma's tail and paw mist were just perfect and I loved them. they were such cute little tidbits too ahhhh. his curse idea is also really freaking creative and I l o v e it. I was really drawn to your form too
lastly I'd also just like to say a couple thing for each form since I truly love them all and don't want anyone to feel left out <3
CompleteChicken: ahhhh I really like the start of your form, I think that's a really cool concept!
junkratss: honestly, I really love your form loads, I can just so clearly picture Taura asking her why her sister thinks of her that way, and just an entire scene unfolding with that. you did such a good job, and I really like all you wrote and your ideas, and I would love to see what the extras would have entailed
Sparkfall: first, I'd like to say you had some words (marred, estranged) I love so much in there; I'm such a huge fan of uncommonly used beautiful words. I also really liked the ideas you had!
Carpo: I'm honestly just speechless with those gifs, they are so magnificent and well done, and I'd love to know if you'd be alright with us using them, with credit of course! I also really like the few things you put down, and the name choice was great
Kara Zor El: I hope you can get your first Kalon soon!
Diamond Sapphire: 10/10 name, I love it loads, and I wish I could have seen what else you had planned!
dead end: ahhhhhhh your form was so wonderful! I loved the mood board and the colors, and the story was so wonderful, light and sweet to start, and then heart wrenching. I'm a big believer in
this, and you showed it well. I also love the little bits you put in your form too, all the likes and dislikes, and the detail of kenzo getting her the scarf, ahhhH
Kiaa: can I just say how much I adore the idea you had???? the genie concept is really creative, and I love it loads, it's another thing in general that I'm just so fond of, and find awesome in stories. the way she granted the old kalon's wish too, very clever.
also I'm in love with the gif in your signatureBlumoonwolf: ahhh I'm so sorry the end date conflicted with your trip! the drawing is honestly so cute and I adore it so freaking much, and the little stories were so sweet and charming. I love the story of the man buying her pressed flower books
and then I'd just like to give a final thank you to everyone who entered and marked <3333
