Thank you so much for organising this. It’s obviously a tonne of work and we all appreciate it. For me it’s one of the best things on the internet and I’m already looking forward to next time.

Buffy is such a great winner 🤟

It is a labor of love! 😅

It does feel like something unique that only we have.

This is always such a fun event. Thank you for doing this every year! And congrats to Buffy for winning Owl of the Year 2025, a title of great honour.
Show threadanon6789Dec 20
Buffy and its fans really worked hard for it!
Show threadLordAmplifierDec 20
Yes, especially the propaganda poster someone drew was amazing!
Show threadanon6789Dec 20
I agree! That’s @[email protected]

They say the pen is mightier than the sword, so I went on a campaign with it, for my Liege.

Next year please draw the Flamulated Owl! New champ every year please =]
Show threadGrantUsEyesDec 20

I’ll definitely support a different owl next year. I have one in mind, but… I could be persuaded, you know, for the right amount 𓁹‿𓁹 HEH.

:P jk.

Like all good propaganda, I wouldn’t expect anything else. I think Flammy has something extra over a lot of owls for the artistically inclined, with those deep void eyes and flame highlights.

Really though, there are so many I would be happy to see do well (cough barn owl cough cough)

I’ll make it a new years resolution to contribute some unbiased owl art to the comm periodically c:
Show threadanon6789Dec 21
I would love that!
Show threadGrantUsEyesDec 20
Yaaaaay !! Buffy fish !! Buffy fish!! All Hail Buffy Fish!
Show threadanon6789Dec 20
I feel your drawings had a hand in it!
Show threadGrantUsEyesDec 20
Hmm, perhaps heh… I think Buffy was a couple of points below Screech when I posted, but it was super tight 'till the end :P
Show threadanon6789Dec 20
A lot of these races have shown the difference just a few votes can make! Every bit helps.

Congrats to Buffy!

Thanks, as always, for making this the best part of lemmy and one of my favorite corners of the internet. :)

It is my pleasure. It’s in return for you guys spending so much time with me and the owls during the year.

Queen Buffy!
Show threadanon6789Dec 20
Long may she reign!
Show threadSylvartasDec 20
Ah, there it is, the superb owl winner
Show threadanon6789Dec 20
There can be only one!
Show threadParadachshundDec 20
The propaganda campaign worked 😵
Show threadForeignerDec 20
Sad little screechy didn’t win but happy for the Buffy owl’s win. They’re all winners in my heart after all ❤️
Show threadanon6789Dec 20
I went into it very pro-Screech, but the enthusiasm of the Buffy crew won me over. It was a well played match by both sides. I’m glad we had such an exciting finale.
Show threadpseudoDec 20
Any of the two winning would have made me very happy but the Buffy fish owl truly wears the crown superbly!
Show threadanon6789Dec 20
We finally get a big hibou!
Show threadpseudoDec 20
Yes !! Finally ! I love them so much. Although I don’t hate the small ones either.
Show threadLommyDec 20
She looks like she was made to be wearing a crown! Thank you much for all the effort you’ve put in Anon. It was a great one again this year, and i’m looking forward to the next one. Happy holidays!
Show threadanon6789Dec 20

She’s a natural!

It’s been a fun tournament. There were many surprise wins this year that most of us didn’t anticipate, but still the best made it through.

I hope next year’s can be even bigger and better!

If they’re calling this a Fish Owl then I get to be called a Mac’n’Cheese human.
Show threadanon6789Dec 20
I support this!
Show threadSergioDec 21
This go-round I learned the meaning of the word “plumicorn.” Thanks, anon6789!
Show threadanon6789Dec 21
It’s a great word! People always light up when I teach it to them.
Show threadFlashMobOfOneDec 21
That is objectively a princely owl.
Show threadanon6789Dec 21

It wears the crown well and even has a bit of the ermine fur look going on. (The white fur with black spots)

Show threadOptionalDec 21

YES!! HA HAAA!!! You did it, Buffy Fish! You’re the Owl of the Year!!1!

Amazing! The people have spoken! Buffy Fish for all!

Show threadanon6789Dec 21
It was an intense battle, but the Buffy proved itself worthy in the end! So begins the Year of Buffness!

Owllelujah!
Show threadfestntDec 22
hoo is responsible for that downvote?!
Show threadanon6789Dec 22

I don’t recognize the name, it’s a fairly new account, so probably just an accident.

I had a serial downvote, but then they finally commented one day. I said why are you here if you hate me? They said they loved my stuff, they just downvote every .world post out of principle to give smaller instances one vote better visibility.

An interesting campaign, but since I knew it wasn’t personal after that it was no biggie. Most downvotes I get seem to be one and done, but I do get a handful of names enough to make it seem like something bothered then, but I couldn’t say what.

Screech my beloved, it is for next year!

Screech is still near and dear to my heart! It still did a tremendous job!
