Justin Law didn't get enough screen time in Soul Eater
I'm saying this as someone who hasn't even read the manga he just deserved more screen time

People are all like "Hades bad Zeus cool" in popular media but like
Zeus banged literally anything that moved while Hades rather liked his wife and quite possibly named his giant three-headed dog monster Spot.
Spot.

If Inuyasha is basically a dog and has dog-like behaviors
Does that mean that he'd run screaming from a vacuum

if I made a plush doll of a Kurotama character and put it in the fair and it got Champion just like my Funtime Freddy plush did I could die happy knowing that one of my characters won an award lol

I feel like I've talked about this before but you gave a fair where you can enter crafts in a competition or something?
Offline

4-H is a program that's been around for like...100 years I think? It's old.
Anyway, it's where kids do projects related to a project area (cooking and sewing for example) and then take them to their county fair and have them judged. The most popular is the animal projects. You know how they have animal judging shows at fairs? If they're kids there's a 90% chance that it's a 4-H fair (there's also open show where anyone can show their animal, which isn't quite the same as 4-H shows but has the same concept).
Historically I've done what's called "General Projects," which is basically everything other than the animals themselves, and they usually consist of posters made by the participants. The general projects I've done are cooking, sewing, poultry (in the form of a poster), first aid, visual arts, and creative writing iirc
The best part is that the type of thing you need to bring usually vary depending on the project. Cooking involves...baking...one of three recipes from the book in each level (I will have it known that my coffeecake won State Fair Alternate in my first year). In the sewing division, they have accessories and clothes (my plush fell under "other sewed item"). In creative writing you can pick a fiction short story, nonfiction short story, or poem collection (except they're all judged together which I think is very unfair because it doesn't make sense to judge a nonfiction piece about seeing family during covid against a beautifully crafted fictional piece tHAT I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN CHAMPION FOR--*I am still salty and it's been half a year :D*). Then art is obvious, they're just divided into different subdivisions like digital, carbon and pigment and charcoal ike the creative writing should have been Funny story, last year I took a carbon/pigment drawing and a digital piece and won Champion, State Fair Delegate, and a trophy for and the digital piece went on to get Grand Champion in the digital arts division at the State Fair no I'm not bragging what are you talking about
Right the State Fair and ribbons
So there are three basic types of ribbons: blue, red, and white. Blue means that the project meets the standards set for the project area. You're judged on the project itself but also for the judging itself. If you're reading off the poster the whole time you're being judged, unless you have an really good project, there's no way you'll get more than a white ribbon. Red ribbons are a middle ground, and white ribbons are "basically you need a lot of work." Anything below blue ribbons and you can't get any other awards. Class champion is kind obvious, it means you had the best project in your "class" (kids doing the exact same project type, for example 1st year posters about chickens are grouped together). Now, Champion means that you had the best project in the division itself, but not the project area (you get Champion for digital arts, not for visual arts as a whole). State Fair Delegate means you did well enough that you were chosen to go to State Fair (it's optional, but many people go). State Fair Alternate is basically second place to the Delegate; if the Delegate can't (or decides not to) go, the Alternate might be allowed to go instead (I actually did have the option to go to State Fair as an Alternate for Creative Writing, but chose art instead).
The State Fair is basically like the county fair. Except bigger. All the delegates from each county in the State bring the projects they got the delegate ribbons to be judged against each other. It's basically the finals in a tournament. Everyone gets a special participation ribbon, and then there are the Reserve Champion and Grand Champion medals, as well as a white "Special Award" ribbon (when you had a really good project but it's not quite good enough to wing Reserve or Grand iirc.) It's really fun but also exhausting and stressful lol
So that was my in-depth essay explanation of 4-H please enjoy

Huh. Nice.
If you're getting state level champion stuff, shoot, I might look for similar things to enter at some point as well.
I don't think I have as much creative juices flowing as you, but surely there's something I can run for.

Dude there are quite possibly more than 100 project fields, you can find something there.
Plus, sometimes you're even eligible for scholarships and money awards if you're enrolled in 4-H
And you get money for entering projects :DD

I seem to have a thing for naming demons after flowers lol the two are definitely not connected in any way
