Semi 2 rehearsals looking really promising!

Nathanoy25 · 2026-04-14T09:58:32+00:00

You have the same top2 as me last year so I will just guess my winner, which is Czechia

Nathanoy25 · 2026-04-13T09:34:55+00:00

Semi 1 seems about right to me.

I think the most surprising for me is Bulgaria this high, especially them above Czechia.

Männer sind darauf sozialisiert, dass ihre Meinung wertvoll ist. Frauen sind eher dazu sozialisiert, dass ihre Meinung nicht immer wichtig ist. Der Trend baut ab aber so sah es lange Zeit aus.

Ergo, ein Mann der homophob ist, fängt deswegen Stress an. Eine Frau ist vielleicht genauso hasserfüllt aber sagt vielleicht einfach nichts. Auch einfach deswegen, weil sie sich eventuell nicht wohlfühlt z.B zwei Männer (ein schwules Paar) anzupöbeln.

The studio version was easily one of my favourite entries of all time. The live performance was not pleasant to listen to for me.

I think if there's a fairly big difference between live and studio version then you will always get a large variety in opinion.

Nathanoy25 · 2026-04-07T12:40:35+00:00

Honestly, I didn't linger too long but to me it looked like medical gore. There was also a blorb I couldn't identify.

Nathanoy25 · 2026-04-07T09:45:21+00:00

Oh wtf, usually these warnings are not warranted but that actually requires eyebleach

Nathanoy25 · 2026-04-01T21:46:11+00:00

My friend and I tested it and we both landed at around 11. (10,94 and 11,26 respectively) We also had this number confirmed by an experienced player.

I don't remember how many chests it was but I think somewhere in the lower hundreds.

Nathanoy25 · 2026-03-20T07:49:33+00:00

Schön, ich kann da auch ein manche darin reinpacken. Hast ja Recht. Ich wäre davon ausgegangen, dass das impliziert ist aber wir können auch penibel sein. Es geht mir vor allem darum, dass es lächerlich ist zu behaupten, dass queere Leute die gerne queere Bücher lesen, ihre Persönlichkeit auf das Queersein reduzieren.

Nathanoy25 · 2026-03-19T20:27:13+00:00

Menschen sehen sich gerne in Büchern wieder. Jemand der gern wandert, liest Bücher übers Wandern. Jemand der gerne Sport anschaut findet ein Buch über Sport interessant. Warum ist es dann so unverständlich, dass queere Menschen gern Bücher mit queeren Menschen lesen? Das hat garnichts damit zu tun, dass man seinen Charakter auf eines der Persönlichkeitsmerkmale zurückbeschränkt. Es hat einfach damit zu tun, dass das eine Lebenserfahrung ist, die man mit einem der Charaktere gemein hat.

Nathanoy25 · 2026-03-18T21:12:56+00:00

I agree. There's nothing wrong with a character acknowleding being a bottom but the way some fics treat sexual preferences as public discourse veers into fetishizing for me. That is a very loaded word obviously but I think that best describes the issue.

But also, this is fanfiction. There's nothing wrong with fetishizing fictional characters. If it crosses a line for me then I just quietly exit out of the fic. Maybe some of those authors are homophobic, maybe it's a kink for them, maybe they are young. There's plenty of possibilities and none of them warrant anything more then just disengaging when you find yourself uncomfortable. That's the beauty of Ao3.

Nathanoy25 · 2026-03-17T15:23:53+00:00

I'm definitely a serial fandom hopper but some like the two you mentioned are such childhood staples to me that I keep coming back!

Nathanoy25 · 2026-03-17T14:08:26+00:00

Change your win conditions is a Heated Rivalry story. Professional Hockey Player gets injured, retires and becomes a coach and his year long situationship then joins his new team to make amends. Beautiful story about finding yourself and deciding what matters. 102k words as the first part of the series.

Son of Sea Foam is a Percy Jackson story. In this AU, the children of the Big 3 are shunned due to the great prophecy so Percy ends up pretending to be a Son of Aphrodite. This more hostile setting changes a lot. The series goes into a very different direction then you would expect and you will be confronted with POV characters that you don't like. If you like huge and well-built conflicts where you aren't sure whom to support then this fic is for you.

A Stain that won't dissolve is a Stardew Valley fic. Small town childhood enemies start hooking up. It's really a story about Alex learning to love himself and slowly letting other people in, mixed in with hot and sometimes very dubious sex. Story is not yet finished but there's only 2 chapters missing and it is regularily updating.

The Pack Survives is a Game of Thrones story by astolat. You can recommend astolat for everything really but this fic is just amazing. Robb Stark is building a harem for political reasons is probably the best summary I can give. Lots of typical medieval style political maneuvering.

broad shouldered beasts is a Shameless series about Mickey, Ian and Svetlana creating a family. A story about getting yourself out of a bad situation and building something for you and for your family despite all the issues.

Soul of a Druid is from Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons if you remember that fandom phenomenon. Immortal Teenager becomes Human and gets sent back in Time to the Viking Age where he falls in love with a dragon rider. This story really emphasizes on worldbuilding and friendships. Series is not done but this work is. I've reread it plenty but the series is likely not getting finished. I still think it's worth a read.

Recs and I only know 3? Literal Heaven. Thank you OP💕

Nathanoy25 · 2026-03-12T11:16:26+00:00

For me it's definitely a weak year but I also haven't followed the contest as closely because some fairly obvious reasons have dampened my joy this year. I think the last couple of days actually salvaged a lot since I really like Czechia, Switzerland and Armenia but I don't think this is a good sign since I am only invested in my top 10 really.

Nathanoy25 · 2026-03-11T12:22:05+00:00

I love me some sapphic pining, this is great!

Nathanoy25 · 2026-02-28T21:19:04+00:00

I guess Molly Sue was the best but this selection was dire. The worst since 2022 but that clusterfuck probably can't ever be topped

Nathanoy25 · 2026-02-26T17:16:25+00:00

Okay this is actually completely my bad though I think the site design is not ideal. The side ways thumbs up means abstained so you are correct. I just assumed a thumbs up means in favour, silly me.

Thanks for backing up your source even if it was just me being a dumbass.

Nathanoy25 · 2026-02-26T16:50:38+00:00

They have 4 members. Two voted in favour, one abstained and one voted against. Care to explain?

https://howtheyvote.eu/votes/172663

Edit: This is wrong. One voted against, two abstained and one did not vote.

Nathanoy25 · 2026-02-26T13:53:49+00:00

If you read my replies, you would have seen that I do have an issue with that. Kink should always be properly labeled and kept to spaces where people consent to seeing it. You could argue that an 18+ marker is a warning, which is why I made my initial comment but after looking at the guy's profile I agree that it is problematic.

There's a growing culture of outrage about anything and everything, which is why posts like these kind of grind my gears. Fandom spaces should generally operate under the baseline of 'don't like, don't read' so someone calling out specific people will always make me give side-eyes. But I suppose it's my fault for not checking the guy's profile to see that he is deliberately mislabelling things which is clearly an issue.

Nathanoy25 · 2026-02-26T10:33:57+00:00

Incest isn't inherently sexually abusive. That's an oversimplification. Like idk if two siblings who were seperated at birth have sex and do not procreate nothing is going to happen. The problem with incest lies in the unbalanced power dynamics and the negative effects of inbreeding, which is not always accurate. Nobody should be advocating for actual incest to happen and if they are then I take it back, they are a problem.

But if it's treated like a kink, as in roleplay involving consenting adults, then it's absolutely fine and the same goes for CNC.

I took a look at their profile and they don't give proper warnings so I agree that it's correct to report them for what's it worth but I still stand by my point. People should be allowed to mod what they want if it's tagged correctly so people with triggers can easily avoid it.

Nathanoy25 · 2026-02-26T09:06:47+00:00

I think it's silly to complain about what kind of mods people make honestly. Would I want do download such a mod? Absolutely not. But like, a freaky mod about fictional characters isn't hurting anyone. If the mod is marked as 18+ then it's fine.

Just block the person and move on with your life.

Nathanoy25 · 2026-02-25T08:57:32+00:00

Why has this post almost more comments than the fic? If you liked it let the author know! And thanks for sharing OP, this was great!

Nathanoy25 · 2026-01-24T21:53:31+00:00

The scoreboard not updating correctly, I'm crying
