Hi! I sent my judging a bit later than usual, but it looks like I'm still not last so I don't have to feel guilty!
Lemme tell y'all about a dream I had. No joke I had a dream about ATRL. They had an update that let you mix 2 smilies together to create a new smiley, and some of them had two options. The ones I remember:
duca + biblio = either the duca face, but unmoving and blue, or a jumping red biblio. you could choose between them
alexz + keir = a spinning alexz with keir eyes
I have no idea why I dreamed about that, but regardless, I'm pretty sure it's my first ATRL dream.

Sent my judging btw
There was one person that wowed me with the Zodiac trinity. I think you all did a solid job on those trinities, but idk I kind of was hoping for a bit more for some of you

So does that mean the update's coming tonight?
I'm asking because I'm going to be leaving at 6:30 for my improv class and I won't be home until about 10:30.

Kxvk - Aesthetically, your entry is rly cute and fitting! I like how you even included a Chinese song in there. You put a lot of attention to detail in this entry, which I really appreciate~ Well done, overall!
jpow - Omg.  I am simply moved to tears by this entry. Everything about this entry from beginning to end was an emotional roller coaster and I don't think I've ever seen anything like it before, and neither will I see anything like it again! Truly a masterpiece. Thank for so much for allowing me the HONOR to experience this for myself. Sincerely, it's a blessing.
Fidel - Although your song choices seemed fitting, especially after reading why you chose them, but idk how to feel about 2 mainstream rap songs.  It's not that big of a deal given the songs are thematically fitting, but I do like seeing some variety. You could've alternatively done ALL rap songs and based your entry around that, but that just makes the 3rd song feel even more left out since it's not so much a rap song. 
Chill Bill - YOU USING A MLP SONG.  I didn't know you were actually a brony.  But I mean, whatever, if it works it works. I found it interesting how you went the analytical approach, although I think I prefer your more creative entries! Not to say this is bad, but regardless.
A Bomb - I think your entry is aesthetically nice, and your song choices and your reasoning behind them are both fitting. I don't really see your signature 'style' here, kinda seemed more like an essay about the monkey zodiac. 
Clueless - Your banner is sofakincayute! I could also see where you were coming from with your entry, so that's good. Maybe I was just expecting something more ferocious for a dragon idk. 
Dessy Fenix - Your description of the pig, particularly the last one.  I'm also the year of the pig, so ayyyyye.
Mirrorwriting - Your entry looks really weird on my theme. It must look so nice on default, though! About the entry itself, it's ticks the boxes, but like most entries, it didn't really do anything fresh or fun.
Pecinta Mariah - Although I get what you were going for with the first song choice, using one with an analogy to a different animal than the one of your zodiac felt...strange to me. I would've chose a different song with the idea of free-spirited. You also had a typo or two, but that's not rly important. I do think that this entry was kind of just...there, though, even for a round where I felt that about most entries.
Bloomers - Honestly, this was the most unique approach to the challenge I've seen, so that's great.  Obviously, quite a bit of thought went into how to go about this entry, and it shows! Loved it.  |

ZODIAC TRINITIES
KVXK - After round 1, you stopped delivering imo. I think with this trinity you did a step back up the ladder. A very solid trinity, but even tho I love Temple, the reasoning is a bit meh, especially compared to the other songs.
jpow - mmm.. not much to say about this mess... maybe cleanse yourself and buy ANTi on iTunes..
Fidel - I was kind of hoping the third song was also a rap song, it would've made it perfectly cohesive. But the 3rd choice is still good. very solid trinity, but maybe missing some creativity..
Chill Bill - Idk what to think about that MLP song. I don't know if I should be laughing or thinking that you could've find something different. I think you made a great story and reasoning, tho I would love to see your songs to be a bit more cohesive, but that's a minor critique.
A Bomb - not much to say about this, it's on point. I like how you chose from different origins.
Clueless - Because you started with the years, I thought you would only choose songs from artists born in those years.. since you didn't use that, it felt kind of useless. I'm also not completely sold on your songs
Dessy Fenix - you kind of wanted to put to much things of the pig in here, without a lot of explanation. You could've went in deeper. I really like the choice for The Climb, that was cute.
Mirrorwriting - this was cute, but far from your best trinity so far. It's just a solid trinity but I'm waiting for that extra bit.
Pecinta Mariah - smart of you including Horse artists.. and thank you for not picking youknowwho 
I really liked this one from you, one of your better trinities.
Not much to note about this, solid trinity. Hopefully you'll continue to grow
Bloomers - now that you're a mod I am shocked by your behavior, you just dismissing deadlines like that 
jk
You could've went in a bit deeper with your reasoning, it felt a bit unfinished or rushed somehow. Not a bad trinity tho. Very solid

Kxvk - The graphics look great and authentic for your theme, and you did a good job of explaining why your song choices represent the snake. I feel like this is one of your better entries.
jpow - Bitch I can't  I'm glad you didn't dedicate your songs to the judges
Fidel - Your entries are very consistent, especially style-wise but you always have such good reasonings for the songs you choose. I have a vision of a hot muscular AFC fighter while reading your entry and I kind of wish you used the song Eye of the Tiger  but that might have been a little too obvious idk, so yeah you did well.
Chill Bill - MLP what a unique song choice and I can't @ you dragging FTP's "breathy, astro-wimp vocals" You did a great job of defining who the goat is and I laughed at all the parts adding up to be Bob Dylan, he is very goaty
A Bomb - Your entry just seems very straight-forward this round, like I'm reading a textbook, which isn't a bad thing I guess I love the graphics you used, they really make your entry feel cohesive. Also mess @ 2 people using this Temple song this round
Clueless - I really love your song choices and think you explained them well. Bjork really looks like a dragon lady too, I could see her being a dragon in a past life. Mess @ pepe the frog meme.
Dessy Fenix - I like that you picked an animal with alot of negative conotations around it (dirty, greedy, fat pig) and chose such soft, gentle songs to represent it. You showed me a new side of the pig.
Mirrorwriting - Aw bunnies :3 I thought your entry was really cute and elegant and serene, from the layout to the songs. Just keep doing what you're doing tbh
Pecinta - Kudos to you for not using a certain artist associated with horses  (Rolling Stones obvious for their classic Wild Horses ) Your entry was fine I just felt the songs werent very cohesive
Bloomers - I like how you took something like a rat's nest, which many find gross, and turned it into this deep, layered, time capsule of happy rat memories I also like that you chose a song from each of the most recent Rat eras, all great song choices too 
This round was difficult to rank because I think everyone did a good job tbh, so thanks for your efforts this round, sorry some of yall have to be at the bottom. |

I thought it was particularly interesting how you focused on three different people's perspectives of time passing, rather than just one perspective, and it was a refreshing way to see a Time trinity be done.
DevonDreams - *leans into microphone* I'm sorry, I just don't get it.
Speezy - Hmm...a retrospective on Time. I guess so. It's certainly not the worst way to go about it, but it seemed a bit predictable.
Satan - The span of a day...I think it makes for a cute story! I don't think it's the most inspired thing, but it does the trick. |

XEDREOIFJQPOIF LODODNZINFAIERJ - BITCH you are awful for making me listen to Severed Ears 
I really liked your way of making trinities. The elaborate explaining, but it's always done just right. Really a cute entry, and very safe. I hope that if you came back, you start taking some risks. But very solid trinity
DevonDreams - How do we know for sure you aren't going to let Wonderlust make your entries now 
Anyways.. You chose 3 good songs, which were on point, and they really don't need much explaining.. but idk it's not a very exciting trinity. Your graphics tho 
Speezy - I really hope you participate in future seasons you're a really nice contestant.. but this one just doesn't really do it for me.. sorry 
But thanks for the dedication of doing this when not at home 
Satan - Sex for Breakfast and Honey are songs that flow so nicely into eachother
This is really a solid approach and I think it shows a bit of creativity you were missing before you 'quit' this game.

DevonDreams - I was surprised to see you here because I thought you quit and then you were disqualified for cheating, so I didn't think you really wanted to be in this competition but your submission is cute
Speezy - Your entry didn't look the best but I did like the songs you chose and the reasons why you chose them, this was one of your more coherent and cohesive submissions.
Satan - I like that you displayed the time theme as a specific day, a cute idea. I also liked your song choices, Coldplay is a very uh time related band (Midnight, Clocks, etc.). |
AHHHHHH I'm so stressed!!!!!!!! Anyhow stick around for results I'll do the main challenge first and then the comeback results.
