Time flies... there are about 48 hours left of Art Fight 2022!!
Here's what to expect for the end of the fight:
As established last year, team point totals will now be hidden until the winner reveal.
The winner reveal and final point totals will be announced on August 15th, 2022 by end of day.
Site moderators will spend the time between the fight's end and the reveal going through as many attack reports as they can and making rating adjustments as necessary.
You may report incorrect ratings on attacks until August 5th, 2022 at 12:00PM MDT (18:00 UTC). After this point, you will no longer be able to report attacks for incorrect ratings from Art Fight 2022.
The official end date of Art Fight 2022 is August 1st, 2022 at 12:00PM MDT (18:00 UTC). You can view the countdown to the end of the fight on the front page of the site.
Don't wait until the last minute to submit your final attack- the site will likely see some slowdown in the final hour of the event, and you will not be able to submit attacks once the the clock hits 12:00PM MDT on August 1st. Staff will likewise not be able to submit attacks for you after the event ends.
Please note that the "Recent Attacks" section on the front page will be removed once the event ends, and won't return until next year's fight.
We're in the homestretch now- good luck out there!!

(realizing) Wait, there is... There's one thing she's afraid of. There's one thing strong enough to stop her. When Jack was dying, I made a deal to save him.
DEAN
You what?
CASTIEL
The price was my life. When I experienced a moment of true happiness, The Empty would be summoned, and it would take me forever.
DEAN
Why are you telling me this now?
CASTIEL
(tearfully) I always wondered, ever since I took that burden, that curse, I wondered what it could be? What my true happiness could even look like. I never found an answer because the one thing I want... It's something I know I can't have. But I think I know... I think I know now. Happiness isn't in the having, it's in just being. It's in just saying it.
DEAN
What are you talking about, man?
CASTIEL
I know. I know how you see yourself, Dean. You see yourself the same way our enemies see you. You're destructive, and you're angry, and you're broken. You're "daddy's blunt instrument." And you think that hate and anger, that's... That's what drives you, that's who you are. It's not. And everyone who knows you see it. Everything you have ever done, the good and the bad, you have done for love. You raised your little brother for love. You fought for this whole world for love. That is who you are. You're the most caring man on Earth. You are the most selfless, loving human being I will ever know. (he smiles, crying now) You know, ever since we met, ever since I pulled you out of Hell... Knowing you has changed me. Because you cared, I cared. I cared about you. I cared about Sam, I cared about Jack... I cared about the whole world because of you. (sad laugh as a tear rolls down his cheek) You changed me, Dean.
DEAN
(quiet, resigned) Why does this sound like a goodbye?
CASTIEL
Because it is.
Dean inhales, ready to argue, but Castiel confesses before he can.
CASTIEL
I love you. (he smiles)
DEAN
Don't do this, Cas.
There's a wet noise from behind Dean and he turns to see black goo from The Empty squeezing through the bricks in the bunker's wall as a portal begins to open. They both know what this means. There are tears in Dean's eyes as he turns back to Castiel. Castiel is still smiling tearfully. The warded door busts open. Billie stands behind it with her scythe. There's no more time.
DEAN
Cas...
Castiel puts his hand, bloodied from when he'd cut it for the warding, on Dean's shoulder.

Cat goes "meow"
Bird goes "tweet"
And mouse goes "squeak"
Cow goes "moo"
Frog goes "croak"
And the elephant goes "toot"
Ducks say "quack"
And fish go "blub"
And the seal goes "ow ow ow"
But there's one sound...
That no one knows...
WHAT DOES THE FOX SAY?
