Vote for Oakie in SUNY Mascot Madness!
This round will be the hardest yet! Oakie Acorn (they/them) is up against last year’s champion, and we’ll need every vote we can get!

Vote for Oakie here!
Oakie’s opponent is also… not the nicest. "Wolfie the Seawolf" from Stony Brook University, is quoted as saying these things on the official Mascot Madness webpage.

A screenshot showing an interview with Wolfie Seawolf. Interviewer: Read any good books lately? Wolfie: I just finished rereading The Art of War. I think using some of the tactics included will help me to win Mascot Madness for the third time in a row. After that, you might as well crown me the supreme ruler of SUNY Mascots. Why even have the other ones? Interviewer: Favorite pizza topping? Wolfie: I've recently grown fond of devouring acorns, I bet they would go particularly well on pizza…

Oakie, by contrast, is:
all about sustainability
the only officially queer mascot in the tournament
also the only plant
Their commentary on their opponents is much kinder!

A screenshot of an interview with Oakie Acorn. Interviewer: How would you celebrate being named SUNY Mascot Madness Champion in 2024? Oakie: The same way I celebrated in 2017 when I won the title – surrounded by the best students, faculty, and staff ever! We had a party that the whole campus attended. My friend, Victor E. Knight from SUNY Geneseo, was gracious enough to come and present me with the trophy and join the festivities. I think it would be great to host Wolfie on campus this year.

You can vote every 12 hours on each browser and device you have access to until the round ends at 3pm on Tuesday. If you vote for Oakie (and like this post, reply, message me, reblog, or otherwise let me know) I will post an original art piece, as I have before!
Hi :)
Posting silly propaganda for a poll battle not on this hellsite again; everybody support my favorite non-binary acorn.
Oakie the acorn is our school's mascot and they're the silliest. Every year there is a poll tournament for the best SUNY college mascot and I think they are the tumblr-iest. They're an acorn and officially non-binary. I will post art if people vote for them (and like this post or reply or reblog to let me know) as I have previously.
Anyone want to join my silliness?
Hi everyone, we’re doing this again! The not-on-this-hellsite mascot poll is happening, and we’re encouraging people to vote for our favorite non-binary acorn! Like last time, we’ll post an art piece we’ve done for everyone who votes.
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!
Oakie dokie (lol), the poll closes at 4pm today! Please vote for this acorn, I am unreasonably invested. I will post a piece of my art for every new Oakie vote this post gets (please like or comment if you vote so I know)! If you’ve already voted, you can vote again- each voter can vote every 12 hours.

Random memes part 2! These are particularly old and stupid
Characters are from @elbera. I will take them one day.
SK and her terrible, horrible, no good, very bad traumatic backstory
Pyrope is @elbera’s and she hates it, just like everything else
Here I am, posting the animatic I am so heartlessly forced to post. Fr though, I was pretty happy with this one ✨
Totally not full of @elbera oc lore or anything. No symbolism or nothing.
We have got Heli, Ziri, and Hel in the house tonight.
Don’t feel too sad for Heli. Her gf can feel her displeasure through a change in the atmosphere (delusional)
No, you haven't showed them to me. How evil of you. Go punish yourself by posting the animatic in question. May its hearts and reposts cause you wholesome pain <3
When I drew this, I don’t think I had drawn either of these girlies in colour before? So it’s just a practice. I think it was in preparation for an animatic I made
Characters belong to @elbera. I actually don’t think I ever showed these to you, so hiiii you’re welcome, surprise!
Oooooo, Garnet, unintentionally comparing a garnet to a pearl, not a good idea. If only that era 2 defectiveness went to your form instead of your gem! So tragic
@elbera is who the characters belong to. I just draw ‘em. A lot. Toyhouses are hiding from you under the cut.
A page of a comic canon to my lovely friend’s oc story!
Characters belong to @elbera (except for one!), and their toyhouses will be under the cut if you want to read more about them. Expect much for ‘em. I LOVE these garnets
BUT BEFORE THE TOYHOUSES here is the page without text. And also a bonus, because spoiler alert the duel ends with both of them poofing. Hahaha, losers.
Anyway, The toyhouses:
