PSA WE HAD THE BEST TEAM EVER. We never went super duper hard like some of the other teams but I'd like to thank ninja_ninjin, tsukinousagis and dreamyproject for being great. Working with the three of you was an absolute delight and it was RIDICULOUSLY SATISFYING to win MR2, especially because Love Live had to fight to be considered to be a sports anime and that Kotori/Honoka is kind of a rarepair as is. Reading all the comments had me screeching out loud on the inside. Like we did it, we did it ;; sdkjgsdlkjgd you're all amazing.
Most of all though I'd like to thank orielius for keeping me sane through what was a very difficult summer for personal, rather than SASO reasons. I'd spew some more but I don't think anyone else wants to see it, but I'll say thank you for helping make my captain x vice-captain ship aesthetic become a reality.
I also had the chance to be social media mod, which mostly meant that I posted stuff on Twitter dot com under the username @AnimeESPN. Mostly memes and dicking around with people, but if you ever felt personally victimized by the SASO Twitter account well you now know who it mostly was. When I first agreed to be social media mod I actually never thought I was going to make friends from that account... ha ha ha look where I am now, oops. I hope you guys enjoyed my stupid jokes. I know I enjoyed making them.
Special thanks to the mod squad, both for organizing this event and for being a drama-free, super-chill, generally awesome group of people to work with. Going in I was really worried there would be drama or bullshit but there was none. Any disagreements were settled maturely and I'm glad to not just call you guys coworkers, but friends. So let's give it up to swiftling, hurristat, doxian, simpleruser and bisharp because all of you deserve to know who these guys are. :'D They deserve all the thanks in the world.
I also really want to point out that Team ImaNaru had some incredible entries and there was literally nothing you guys did that I didn't love. I'm not even that much of an ImaNaru but I probably pimped your entries to my friends so much they got sick of me, SASO or not SASO. Same with team T2, though T2 was already my OTP and I would have been on your team if it wasn't for my vice-captain cyberbullying me into doing this ship.
I've made a lot of friends during this event and I'd probably be here forever if I called them all out, but I think dynamite deserves a special shout-out for IwaOi hell. We've got to do something similar next year but only make it run through the entire SASO B) extend the pain, ahaha.
I'd also like to call out hapaxlegomenon being generally awesome and for indulging me talking at you about headcanons and T2. Once upon a time, I never thought that there was anybody who would love T2 as much as I do. I now know that I was wrong.
PROMPT: TEAM KOUSAKA HONOKA/MINAMI KOTO-- I MEAN, THANK YOU.
