Me when I give the league of legends show a chance because my friend says it's good and I go in expecting an overrated wet fart and I'm slowly forced to acknowledge that it has layered and interesting characters, incredible art direction and animation, deeply engaging political intrigue and gripping drama and I realize that despite any flaws it may have it's ultimately one of the most mature and well rounded pieces of animated television I've ever seen come out of the western world and I end the most recent episode sitting leaned forward staring at the TV actively crying at 5 am

I'm so fucking mad

do you wanna try your luck at the wild life session 5 trivia questions?

well now you can! i gathered all the questions we came up with into a pair of google forms so that you guys can try your hand at the same trivia questions the CCs did!

quizmaster's questions from session 5

we tried to have a good amount of questions for every player and season. we also tried to include only questions we thought at least one person would remember the answer to, especially things we'd seen them bring up recently in their own videos or streams, or big moments that would appear in fanart/animatics that we thought they'd be more likely to remember from seeing in those. we also aimed to include silly questions/answers, or questions/answers we thought people would find entertaining. we wanted players to be able to go to each other and ask each other for help on questions they didnt know the answer to!

but wait! there's more! we also have a form for all the questions which didn't make the cut!

rejected questions

the rejected questions didn't make it due to either being too difficult/niche or being something we did not think any creators would remember, being about a player we already had too many questions for in order to make room for questions about other players, being "stat" or number questions (i.e., "how many times did X die of Y cause?"), having too many names involved in the question or answer (making it hard for players to know who to ask for help), the questions just being wordy, or not being particularly entertaining. fair warning, the rejected questions also were not all fact checked as well as the actual episode questions were, as they didn't go into the actual session

originally our questions were a bit more difficult (we had a lot of questions we didn't necessarily think anyone would remember the answer to), but we were asked to tone it down and have mercy after the unexpectedly high amount of snail carnage (hence why the forms are jokingly names "easy version" and "hard version")

anyway, huge thanks to the rest of the trivia team, @cherrifire, @xmaruu11, @hopepetal, @applestruda, @ink-ghoul, and @cocoabats !!! working with all of you was super fun! and thanks so much to Grian for trusting us with this! this whole thing was a super cool experience and i'm thrilled with how much everyone likes the questions!

I don’t understand sonic. Why didn’t he just use his skills at being fast to hurt Eggman until he dies

posting my favourite Mumbo moment from this season since he y'know..

Here are some lore crumbs from Martyn RE: The canary curse being broken I found in his comments section.

I am soooo normal about this

Wild Life Gem 💚💛❤️

by the way in case you were wondering how over Last Life Tango is. while speaking to Bdubs and Etho, he referred to the BEST snow castle as "your base."

Scar being Scar comic + color practice!

Gem: You know... I think when I'm red, and you're still red– because you're not gonna die– we can have fun. Again.

Pearl, nodding frenetically: 🤖🤖🤖

[Joel and Gem laughing]

Joel: So stupid.

Pearl, exhasperated now: 🤖🤖🤖

Gem: Don't– You'll have to put up with him. It's package deal.

Pearl: 🤖🤖🤖

Gem: He says stuff like that but it is harmless.

"Haven't you accepted in this series that nothing stays alive? Like, it's gonna be broken, it's gonna be burnt. Stop fixing it, 'cause it's gonna break again."

Hey. Hey, Pearl? Hey Pearl? You can't just say things like this and expect me to be normal about it. Like yes I get that this was about Joel's car getting exploded with tnt but also come on.
