DISCORD: Alright, you two, I demand to know the meaning of this treachery.

KESHA: What blew your fuse ponyboy, did your eldritch husband not make you your morning coffee today?

DISCORD: I'll have you know that while Bill makes a great cappuccino, I am keeping my options open. Regardless, this is the second time you've used our sources without permission.

TIKTOK: Wait, second time?

DISCORD: ...Apologies, wrong timeline. Anyways, as you can see here ,(*Discord points at the NO OVERLAP clearly capitalized on their sourcelist*), you are entering our territory without our permission.

TIKTOK: I mean if you want to talk about source descriptions, you guys count Hyperpop under experimental.

KESHA: To be fair, you saw what happened last time they were banned from using their 100 gecs crutch, so unless you want more Death Grips it might be for the best they kept it.

*Kesha gives a high-five to TikTok*

KESHA: Alright alright, enough kidding around. We were actually going to ask you megalomaniacs if you could give us some production help on our track.

As much as we make fun of you guys, you're some of the best of the business when it comes to gecs representation, and it would be a mutual benefit to have our names on the same track. Plus, nothing says No Overlap applies if you willingly let us use it.

TIKTOK: Also you already collaborated with one catperson without having a dual with them, what's another going to hurt? (*points at w̶h̶e̴r̶e̵ ̶n̷o̶t̴ ̴a̵ ̶s̶i̶n̴g̸l̴e̴ ̷s̷o̶u̴l̷ ̸g̸e̸t̸s̸ ̸t̶h̷r̸o̵u̷g̶h̸ mockingly*)

DISCORD: I will admit the extra publicity is really tempting. Plus your modern internet culture has been intriguing to observe....

Ah, what the hell. I need a break of working with Bill anyways, and I can't have you amateurs misrepresenting our sources, so consider this collaboration sealed!

[CYCLE #79]

It begins with an argument. Something about planning going wrong, ideas not working well with one another, but it soon escalates. Things are said that perhaps shouldn't be. Things that only grate on the nerves further. 

With the group split up, there's nobody to stop it from festering, the anger and frustration building until contact is made. By then, it's too late.

It was a shame that the others had to come across a body before I was able to turn it back again.

ASCENSION [W FINALS ~ PHASE 1]

TRACK BY: @cymancyan
ART BY: @cymancyan

TTT has been the best thing I've made. Period.
There are a few imperfections here and there but I'm still really proud of how everything has been. The road has been very bumpy to get to this point, especially these last few months where I've been an emotional wreck, but I got back up and made TTT something I'm proud of again.
I've met so many new people and friends from making this thing, and I'm grateful backroom has even stuck around with this thing through the toughest of times. I care for every single person in backroom and I couldn't thank ya'll enough for helping out.
Whether you've been here since the start, with the shitty balancing and weird teamups
Whether you've joined from the LR crossover, which was one of the most fun things to set up
Whether you joined from a friend or some other server
Whether you found the tourney just in general on SC or YT
I can't thank you all enough, seriously. I couldn't have asked for a better fanbase or a better backroom.
Here's to another year, or two, or whatever it takes to finish this
Love ya'll

--------------
The hero draws near! Hailing from the land of Aliahan, Roto, also known by the legendary title of Erdrick, is the legendary hero other heroes around the world strive to be. Destined to take down the sinister Baramos and restore peace to the world, Erdrick can’t do it alone and teams up with mages, warriors, martial artists, priests, and more in order to complete his quest. Erdrick as a title was later passed down to future generations of heroes, becoming something only a select few legends can use.

Across time and space, Erdrick could feel that something was off - as such, he immediately went off to find some peace. By chance, he ended up in the Great Lilac...him and a lone Slime, that is. While he knows he can rest easy in the Great Lilac, he can’t shake the feeling that another hero has fallen somewhere far away. Perhaps he’ll get his closure another day...

Contestant 4 - Gumi Bear
(Gumi and Gummibär)

What the hell’s going on?! It seems that these two nonexistent singers have joined forces to become the yummy-tummy-funny-lucky music duo, Gumi-Bear! One’s a girl with a voice used by many, and the other has an album coming to stores November 13. (However, the year of this release is still ambiguous.) Don’t let their odd appearance fool you, though - together they’re sure to bounce through the bracket!
