WINNER: SNOWY OWL 85-70

❄️ The Battle of Ice and Fire is here! 🔥

From the North, we have the transcontinental champion of the meme, the squishable polar bear of an owl, the one with the big fuzzy feet, the eater of lemmings, THE SNOWY OWL!

Few of us doubted the Snowy Owl would make it here. It’s taken a look at every opponent and said O RLY? Even non-owl fanatics know and love this big plump owl.

Its opponent, from the toasty American Southwest, the tiny titan with a heart of fire, the muncher of moths big and small, the bird whose flaming spirit you can see on its face, THE FLAMMULATED OWL!

This tiny owl has developed a cult following here since taking down the North American King of Owls, the Great Horned Owl. A call had gone out for a new, unknown owl to lead us into the future of owl-ness. Can Flammy answer that call?

Which owl will go forward, and which will be left behind? Upvote your favorite now!

I know, there’s so many great owls out there!

I’m very happy how everything has went overall. It’s been far less predictable than I had first thought. It’s great to see everyone putting thought into this and really getting into the spirit of things while still being nice to each other.

It’s been a ton of fun, and it’s been great seeing even more of the regulars like yourself, but especially these last few days so many names I’ve never seen comment before!

I always forget to ask you, are you just named after the actual Hussars, or is it a reference to the Sabaton song about those Hussars? If it’s alluding to the band, I found a YouTube channel the other day where a historian teams up with the singer to discuss the history of the events of the songs and I enjoyed it, so if that was relevant to you, I thought you may enjoy it.

The name is for the actual hussars, but I’ll check out the band! I’m always eager to listen to new music
