Victory bellyslap!
>>5152838
>>5152838it sucks they won such a shit year
>>5152853All the good shit got knocked out early and all that was left at the end were generic non-offensive safe normie picks
>>5152853Honestly better than the last two /an/s
>>5152854First come first serve bracketing put nearly all of the good stuff fighting against each other in the top half, while most of the bottom bracket was a free ride for the few good late entries like Elephants and Gorillas. It should've been seeded or even randomized.
>catfigs enter 20 different cats>they all lose>tourney winner is a caniformDogs uh, find a way
>>5152855Not really
Crow > Seal >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bumblebee >> literal shit >> Anon's Birb
>>5152860100% accurate
WELL DONE SEAL BROS <3you truly deserved this win
>>5152846birb hereby abdicates the throne and inaugurates you king.we need a picture to celebrate seals coronation but I can't draw for shit >>5152860hey fuck you buddy
>>5152865It's a cute bird but man a singular bird should not have won over whole species like the other winners, it's as simple as that.
>>5152858bearbros we FUCKING did it
why tho?
>>5152862Porpoise friends, we will forever remember your kindness towards us. Next year you will have our full support. Even though it may prove difficult for a marine mammal to win twice in a row. We will still be there fighting for you. Thank you
>>5152851
>>5152845*Sealebrations
>>5152873That would mean no singular cat, dog, or zucchini winning over a whole species. You ok with that?.Anyway, congrats seals. Was rooting and tooting for elephants, but happy they made it so far.

>>5152865Winners don't abdicate thrones, they just join as one group
>>5152838>Winner is sphere adjacentClose enough. You are fren shaped.
Seal bros... Let's do it Mean Girls style and split up our trophy into enough pieces for everyone!! EVERYONE who voted, posted, and had fun with us this year deserves it :) and cheers to the next one!!
Redpandas, manatees, and porpoises will get my vote next year. Hopefully someone nominates them, if I miss the first thread again. But for now it is seals that will celebrate! Hooray.
>>5152884Fair enough.
Anyone working on the Elite Eight for this year? Was wondering if I should get started on it myself...
Well done seals
welcome to the winners circle
>>5152918This isn't how it fucking works. Winners give up their thrones.
>>5152919that can't be right, then they'd be able to re-compete
>>5152920You're retired but you don't have the crown anymore
>>5152845I've never been much of an artist, but I wanted to celebrate the victory regardless. 10 gorillion hours in Microsoft Paint later...>>5152862I wanted to include a porpoise somehow, but I ran out of room. We still remember your support, thank you.
Are we getting an after party thread or is this it?
>>5152922fucking sick
>>5152919Who cares, the art is cute?>>5152918Regrettably I would the anon's parakeet...
>>5152919No you moron
>>5152923This IS the afterparty. OP wanted to wait until this thread to actually announce the winner.
>>5152918Dawg, why'd you have to give the parakeet birthing hips? I'm dying. Also the bee has some serious melons on her. And bonus points for giving the seal a tail, a lot of people may not have considered that they have tails.>>5152924uh, thanks.
>>5152929Huh. That's weird.
>>5152929Ohh yeah party time! Post your favorite party music to go along with the thread. I'll start. https://youtu.be/zIh5AHxh-Ok?si=c8pcMAV4WmBkwo2rhttps://youtu.be/AWpLZtdeBgQ?si=yuaNaHLKdqKVX7Gwhttps://youtu.be/BnTW6fZz-1E?si=KZvYrnia_KKIhPOzhttps://youtu.be/hDd2G_V1rzc?si=e1ooJ9hxDox5W7GR
>>5152913Working on it
>>5152845>>5152940Sorry, anon, I literally just finished it...(PNG: https://files.catbox.moe/l3kx73.png)
>>5152943why is there a walrus there?
>>5152944Weren't walruses the 6th place winner?
>>5152943Not bad, but it would be funny if you put the other animals' names on there
>>5152945no, the was the walrus. the walrus is not a walrus
>>5152943It still kills me how the entire E8 is Greyscale. Not to imply it's bad or anything, this is a pretty good lineup, but still. Like what are the chances of that?
>>5152943Oh nice, I like the picture you used for the seals. I guess according to the top 8 rules, the shoebill won't be eligible for next years /an/lympics? Which is truly sad, because they were an honorable foe.>>5152944>>5152945nta, but it was actually the "lolrus" which is an old ass internet meme even though it's actually a southern elephant seal and NOT a walrus. So I think you should use this pic to prevent confusion?
>>5152947You're right. I will correct this.
>>5152949the lolrus is such a good name. if he competed with that name i bet he would have won
>>5152952Lolrus vs seals in grands would have been really stupid because they're literally the same animal.
>>5152953would have loved to see it
>>5152845>>5152943>>5152950Corrected.https://files.catbox.moe/eu12fr.png
>>5152893a kiss for everyseal
>>5152955For your garbage spam, and desecration of this thread, I will never vote amphibian again in this tournament. Hope it was worth it. >>5152957This is better, thanks.
ignore the spammers, psot more seals
>>5152968I'm just surprised a campaigner finally delivered on his promise.
>>5152853Yeah, seals are a good victor but it feels fake
>>5152968Yeah you're right.>post more sealsThat's what I'm good at. (*^ーﾟ)>>5152970Why do you say it feels fake, is it because of the lack of event organizers? For what it's worth I thought OP did a pretty alright job.
>>5152971He did an absolute shit job
>For your garbage spam, and desecration of this thread, I will never vote amphibian again in this tournament. Hope it was worth it.
>>5152971The fact that it was held on strawpolls and the host forgot about it to jerk off to a porn game seems pretty fake.
>>5152976Okay you're right, it is pretty scuffed. I think I'm just bias because seals won. I need to sleep soon, but for now enjoy the celebrations.
Maybe less dolphin porn next time OP?
let's seal the deal
let's not forget the rest of the elites
>>5152964
>>5152984>>5152985>>5152991>OP will jerk off to this
>>5152995an honor
>>5152838Forgot to say, thanks animalfucker for using my pic as the last thread's OP, I felt quite honored
So happy for Mr. Seal and seal lovers. He really made it happen and deserves credit. He's a great person, really. It feels good to see good people be rewarded. Bless Mr. Seal.<3
>>5152878thank you sealbro <3I'm so happy that you won>>5152918excellent drawing >>5152922its all good man, in my opinion it better just having the seal. they are the one that won so the celebration should be about them :)>>5152925pls do not my birb
>>5152995I don’t know how this schizo found this fucking tournament. He tries to get tournaments taken down because he worships other schizos.
i come bearing webms!
>>5153070These will all make lovely additions to my collection. Thank you.
Walrus bros...
>>5153075>shadman
>>5152918Can't wait to see next years drawing. For when the coyote wins. Trust me I'm from the future.
>>5153007Thank you although the real mvp is whoever nominated the seal to begin with, without him none of this would have been posisble. Yaaay happy seals happy thread.(｡-∀-)
Seal is agitated by a human. And uselessly flails around front flippers in annoyance, but to no avail.
>>5153131Indeed! I assumed it was you, but I would not have known about it to vote unless you told me. Thank you!:D<3
Used AI to create a fusion of the final 2, how did I do?
>>5153181Looks absolutely grotesque. Think we should call it a "seal elephant", or maybe an "elephant seal"?
>>5153181Is that the legendary "The Walrus" I keep hearing about?
>>5153188Donny you're out of your element
>>5153191lol
>>5153181How did you get it to come out so realistic?
Post I found in the /an/lympics thread from 3 years ago while searching through the archives. Wonder if this anon lived to see this thread?Wowhttps://desuarchive.org/an/thread/4529242/#4530329
>>5153267The prophecy is sealed
>>5153270It's the same picture too, so I wonder if that anon has been posting in these threads recently?
>>5153271I've been peach posting since the second /an/, it's possible sealman went all-out on year 4
God, I hate /tnt/rannies...
>>5153289The only ones who bring up /tnt/rannies unprompted ARE /tnt/rannies.
>>5153292>Saying this in a tourney thread
>>5153296I think that's the point. The average anon wouldn't know or care about /tnt/ or their tournaments, it's just the board trying to insert themselves as usual.
>>5153267That was me, actually. I didn't even know we were doing it this year until elite 8 so any sealposting this tourney wasn't me. Nonetheless, after three years I'm pretty happy to finally see this moment even if I was on the sidelines and equally glad there were others who appreciated the seal as much as I do and shared that joy with others. At the end of the day, good things come to those who wait, and you guys are the real deal.
>>5153305It was a real seal deal. Done by real seal dealers. We real seal dealers dealt the seal deal and sealed that seal deal for real for the real seals.
>>5153307freal
Any favorite pinniped species anons?
>>5153305I'm glad you stuck around long enough to see our victory. And what are the odds the anon who nominated the seal chose the exact same pic you used?>>5153319Baikal, always the baikal for me. However I do also like spotted seals, and harbor seals. Walruses and Sea lions are also fine too. But I always prefer seals over them.
>>5153029Sea lion spotted! Not a TRUE seal!
>>5153319I don't know enough to pick a species. Mr. Seal got me to appreciate them. I actually never saw many, just some sea lions at water parks. I like seals the most, because their clumsiness and good nature is so endearing.
>>5152838Congrats seals!
>>5153342<3
>>5153322What's the evolutionary advantage of Baikal seals constantly looking like they're about to burst into tears?
>>5153181>>5153183How about sealephant?
>>5153346Lake Baikal is actually really deep. So it helps them see in dark murky water.
>>5153322
seals
>>5153319I absolutely adore Ringed seals, especially the males because they have wrinkly faces. Did you know this occurs in male ringed seals, because during mating season their faces scrunch up because of hormones? They also release a substance in their glands that smells like gasoline?Also Katsunori seen here has a little heart on his forehead which is absolutely adorable. If you look closely you can see it.
>>5153382Here's a picture that shows the stark difference between Katsunori and his bride, Yo-Chan. You can see how different their faces look?
>>5153383
i had heard that gasoline factoid before :D v cooli guess if u see a seal with a scrunched up face u know he's a real tough guy, stay away!
>>5153322>>5153380Niko has to be posted in this thread at least once.
The chuddiest chud.
>>5153396Poor little Niko. He was forced to eat cement at a young age.
>>5153397never forget.
itadakimasu!
How come the poop seal hasn't shown up to celebrate yet?
>>5153410Maybe he's constipated?
>>5153181thats insane
>>5153322ilvoe those big round eyes, theylook like big water hamsters
>>5153507i forgot the pic
>>5153380so round
>>5153383does seals have a one lifepartner?
>>5153508
Bit of a shame I'm not seeing any fanfare for the other 7 elite
>>5153645This whole tournament in general feels less active than the previous. I think the lack of organizers made most people lose interest?
>>5152838Congratulations to seal!
>>5153651why is he astral projectioning
>>5153645the rest of the seven usually don't get much fanfare in ms and mr either. the only time i can recall the runner up getting fanfare was spite
>>5153678are u the guy who was mad at ppl spiting my birb?
>>5153656To visit the fibsh dimension
>>5140239Nominating Snails!
>>5153696Anon...
>>5153696hehe
>>5152884Yes to both
>>5153696nice
>>5152838What the fuck are you doing, AF>>>/co/155087090
>>5153725Are there any female cartoon seal characters we could nominate, it'd be hilarious if a seal wins in two separate tournaments? Only one I can maybe think of is Primarina but Pokémon isn't western.
>>5153729This was the best I could do. She basically has a 0% chance of winning though>>>/co/155091943
>>5153691ah I sea
You know, how come THESE things don't try to rape us or bite our faces off? Must be the most approachable carnivores ever.
>>5153696Ha!
Sending love to Mr. Seal. I saw your post on the other thread. I am sorry I am not good for chat because I rarely have anything new or interesting to report and what there is, its a hostile site, so... This, and being online generally, I don't think are good for your concerns. So I do feel a lot better hearing about your other activities and think those are very good ideas, just needing growth, some change so they don't become stale to you.I'm sorry I still have no new webms as I have been distracted more in recent months. But I still do very much appreciate you and want to see good things for you in your daily life. And I think you are more than capable.So I hope you feel good again soon. I know I am difficult to engage with random absences so often. But I always am cheered by your posts and like to think you are doing better every day. Take care, and be well.<3
>>5153760Thanks I appreciate hearing that. Your posts always cheer me up even though I have trouble understanding them sometimes.
Congrats, Seal brethren.t. Fuckass Rodentbro

>>5154674Yes :]Especially the endangered monk seals
>>5154729>>5154726hehe these r super cute
>>5154797Yeah, I have like a ludicrous amount of seal videos saved. Make sure to check out the seal thread, when this one eventually 404s. You'll usually fine me posting seals there.>>5150973
