Apologies for taking so long, but hey. Let's get this going.
I. of votes:
1 POINT:
Ferdinand Cheval
(Frigix)
I said it before and I don't mind repeating myself: there's a dreamy quality about this sheet that dragged me in and didn't let me go until I've finished it. Maybe it's the whimsical nature of the Voyager class? Maybe it's the author's ability with words? Maybe it's something else entirely? I don't even know myself. What I know is that this sheet kept coming back to me as I sat down and wondered about which one of them deserved my votes, so I had to properly honor it with at least one point.
2 POINTS:
Pyotr & Petrolina Tchaikovsky
(Dangle)
Like, for real? If I was voting on a purely biased view (and believe me, I almost did that) this sheet would be the uncontested winner. Even now, I still don't find a single fault on it - I unabashedly want them to win this month's prompt, I swear to God I do and Imma jump like a schoolgirl if asterism announces their proper 1st place on the 31th. But out of a sense of "I need to be logical here, c'mon" they got 2 points. Don't get me wrong though, the first place has a lot of edge and some amazing concepts behind it, but these two? They are the heart of this vote for me. I absolutely adore this sheet, it'll be my to-go Dangle Sheet™ for a long time, I can feel it.
3 POINTS:
Zeami Motokiyo
(pinetree)
Like, WHAT THE HELL WAS THIS SHEET? I was dreading the Last Week™ because we always have some amazing Servants during a prompt's last legs, and then comes pinetree to prove my point. This Servant is nothing short of AMAZING. Every level of it is amazing: creatively? Out of this world. Fitting for the prompt? No words, it was as if this was born to be written during this month. The atmosphere? Impecable. The chosen character? I could never. The build-up for their Class? I gasped for air. This was a masterclass in sheet writing, and as much as I objectively liked the character of the second place way more than Zeami, this beautiful creature still deserves the first place in my podium out of sheer awesomeness. It was that good of a sheet.
II. of honorable mentions:
Brokk & Sindri
(Wyvern)
Giving them an amazing custom-created Class? Balsy move. It paid off big time, because it fits them like a glove. Also, they're so, so good. Their banter was the soul of that sheet and I could read it forever... I swear if we had a 4th place they'd steal it, no questions asked.
Marie-Jeanne Rose Bertin
(Spammin Spiff)
SHE'S SO CUTE WHY IS SHE SO CUTE SO WHOLESOME? As you can see, she hit me in the feels and therefore she deserved a spot in my honorable mentions.
Marie Tussaud
(BnEl15)
A creative idea, an amazing execution and even fitting for the Spook Month? Of course such a creative endeavour could only come from our god and savior El. She's a perfect example of your mastery in your craft, an all-around amazing Servant.
Nathan Mayer Rothschild
(Femma)
LIKE, HOLY SHIT? HE WAS SO CLOSE TO GET MY VOTES, LIKE, SO FRIGGIN' CLOSE. Alas, this was a class in Economics and in creative writing, and it left me reeling after finishing his sheet, but the punch could have been stronger. Even then, I hope you don't think for a moment that I'm not opening my mouth in surprise here because I still am. FEMMA. THIS WAS SO GOOD. THIS MAN'S A BEAST, YOU'RE A BEAST.
Jugemu-Jugemu
(Dangle)
Imagine you having such a complicated name that NO ONE in this thread got it right? I cackled every time someone wrote "Jugemo" and I swear I could see the veins poppin' in this old man's temple. When you wrote that reply saying that it was indeed the case? WF is dead.
Phryne
(RoydGolden)
I'M HORNY AND SHE'S MOMMY AND IN THIS COLD, CRUEL WORLD WE FOUND EACH OTHER. THE END.
III. of further honorable mentions:
Dorian Gray
(realcasually)
I wanted to mention him in my honorable mentions, but with each and each entry it was becoming incresingly clear that the quality this month was brutal. He's still an amazing creation from you, but hoo man. Brutal month.
Psammtik I
(Kabalisto Koga)
Zhongli FC? Count me in. That's it, that's my review of him I refuse to elaborate further.
Watcher of Memes
(Morg van Destro)
There was so much that it could be done with him that it almost felt like you were holding back. I still like him, and I still think you have that OOMPH that captivated us all, but as I said before... This month was brutal.
