College Mascot - Blog Posts
Mascot Madness definitely involved some madness
For those who have been following Oakie the Acorn, round 3 of the college mascot tournament poll they’re in ended with their opponent being withdrawn by the school, Stony Brook, because students cast “excessive votes,” probably using bots.
So Oakie has moved on in the competition, and we will continue with our art posts for Oakie. (If you vote for Oakie and like this post or otherwise let us know, we will post art)
Semifinals are today (12pm) until Friday (3pm).
We’d appreciate support for our acorn!
Please play fair, but it is explicitly in the rules that you can vote every 12 hours during a round!
@lizardonatoadstool thank you for your continued support of Oakie! You've been one of their steadfast supporters and we appreciate it! People can vote every 12 hours on each device and browser, and I know you've been doing that! :)
Here’s a silly doodle of Oakie we did (that doesn’t quite do them justice lol). And these are some other doodles
(If you see this post and want us to post more art like this, vote for Oakie here and reply, message us, or like the post linked here to let us know!)
Reminder about this because I am passionate and will not shut up about it lol
This is a little drawing I did in order to stick it to my laptop because I don’t have enough stickers as many stickers as I want :)
After I stuck it to my laptop, it tore, so I decided to fix it and make it look intentional. It’s a Shade from Hollow Knight- I love these funky little blobs of void
Thank you @printerpenguin for voting for Oakie :)
Vote for Oakie: SUNY Mascot Madness
Remember when I asked if people would vote in a tournament poll hosted somewhere other than this hellsite? Well, the final round begins now! Please vote for Oakie the Acorn for me, they’re a quirky little acorn and it would make me very happy! Plus, just like last time, 1 new vote for Oakie = 1 post featuring an art piece by me*! Please like or comment when you vote so I know :)
*which might just be a doodle, but I will try to share things people enjoy!
Oakie just won in the semifinals!
It was insanely close- 50.1% to 49.9%. Each of your votes were crucial! They will be in the finals April 4 - April 6, and I will post about it and do the same art thing as previously!
Thank you all for voting!
Tumblr people, can I ask something weird? Can I ask you to vote in a popular tournament poll…. Not on this hellsite? 🥺👉👈
My school’s mascot is Oakie the Acorn, and they’re probably the Tumblr-est mascot you could think of.
I mean, they’re an acorn for goodness’ sake, they’re officially non-binary, and they’re all about sustainability. The school they represent is also very tumblr- SUNY ESF is a school dedicated to saving the Earth, and its student culture makes it a place where the genders are queer and the neuros are divergent :) People just stop to stare at a weird mushroom or interesting insect all the time here, and if someone spots them, instead of ridicule, you’ll probably have two people staring.
In conclusion, vote for Oakie!
