Oooh they're arriving!! And I'm happy to confess that for every applicant I selected, I had to turn down more than twenty others, all talented and brilliant in their own ways (so you're in great company). I wasn't expecting such an incredible turnout.

Good question! @stanchion.bsky.social?

Even Lincoln's sword is enormous! I mean, fair play, I would have caved too

Really we should have called him Bingley, for he has such happy manners!

I think he might be practising to intern for hypnotoad...

His eyes are such a beautiful shade!

"technical difficulties, please stand by"

omg back in the OLD ANCIENT DAYS of twitter and our meetups!!

His photos can be divided into "gorgeous" and "what the hell was he looking at?"

He really is, although he does often look as if he's witnessing a terrible and slightly confusing crime.

And, unless I'm remembering something apocryphal, didn't Lincoln once intimidate a dueling opponent into giving up before they even started? (by cutting down a tree branch with his sword)

Grant's the dark horse of this tournament, I agree, but he's going to have to use his brain rather than his brawn for most of it because he's comparatively short compared to beasts like Lincoln, Washington, and Ford. And yes, I meant Teddy, hahaha, I can't picture FDR doing well here.

Nooooooo! At least the fanfic coming out of it will be fire?

Oh wow, that's so wild! I presume they did publish it after all, though?

"The Abandons" (weirdly plural) on Netflix!

I haven't seen either of those, although I've heard great things! I'm always behind on TV because I'm so up to date on my movies.
