Hey-o!
Here's the 2nd Annual New Years Eve Compilation post!
We got a few things for ya today... the top seven fanstands and another seven artworks of this year, as picked by our volunteer judges panel, a collection of out-of-context comments from our wiki and discord server, and one or two other things!
First off, let's start with the fan-stands; this year we got a lot of interesting ones (all of them eggcellent enough that I have come out of the void to start up my stand ratings again)....
Counting down from #7....

Seven super amazing artworks! I have been motivated to bring back the wiki art contests for next year..... pending my schedule, hehe.....
Next up we got, the Out-Of-Context Comments Compilation;
(some borderline nsfw included, hopefully it's not too much..... hehe....)
My personal favourite, is the BEANS..... absolutely menacing.... V: V: V:
If you guys got any more OOC additions from this wiki or our affiliated discord server, feel free to add them in the comments below! (as long as they're not overly nsfw....)
Now for an extra addition; two short stories written by @Cs2714260 !

Still my fave AMV I found a while back;

...... yee.
It's been an eggcellent year, though not without its ups and downs ofc. I think... I can say decisively that we've come quite a ways from this wiki's more troublesome days. More effortful posts.... more interesting stand ideas.... more respect in debates.... and more support in art critiques....
I'm not usually one for quotes and all, but here's one I remember from an essay I wrote once;
"In all contexts, individuals with allies generally fare much better than those without. After all, it's not what you know, it's who you know" - Colin Tudge's 'The Link: Uncovering Our Earliest Ancestor' (p. 134)
Pretty much, remember that not everyone knows everything. Different peeps know different things... like who do you go to for getting scans, who do you go to for drawing tips, who has the latest info leaks, who do you ask for help with editing or other issues... we each bring different skills and things to share, to the wiki, and it's important we don't forget that! It's part of what makes the wiki a great community. Man I suck at 'speeches'- but anyways....
Say farewell to 2022, and Hail 2 U!
