So, we all know BTFF hasn't exactly been the most active website out there recently, and that got me thinking. What makes a website popular? Is it good content? User-friendly layout? Dank memes? Unfortunately, most websites seem to lack one or more of these features, including us (fix your dang coding, Wikia), so that can't be it.

Then I realized something. Every successful franchise has a mascot. Disney has Donald Duck (also Mickey Mouse but lol who's ever heard of that guy?), McDonalds has Ronald McDonald, and America has Donald Trump's Toupee.

Clearly, the obvious solution to our problem would be to get a mascot named Donald. Unfortunately, all the good ones are taken, so I turned to the internet instead, and what I found was very interesting. Every successful internet franchise doesn't just have a mascot, no no no, they all have anime girl mascots.

Think about it! 4chan has 404 Girl, Know Your Meme has KYM-Tan, Ebola has Ebola-Chan (not kidding), the list goes on and on! Of course, the only reasonable response to this phenomenon is to create an anime girl mascot of our own. As part of my never-ending campaign to Make BTFF Dank Again,



I took it upon myself to create this mascot. Behold, my fellow Wikians, the mascot that will help BTFF to be truly dank again!



Alright, alright, all memes and stuff aside, what do you guys think of the idea of a mascot (not necessarily this one, but one period)? It's an unconventional idea for a wiki to have one, but it would help us establish more of an identity outside of your normal fanfiction sites. Heck, I'd say we've already had mascots in the past in the form of massively popular aliens (Upchuck Norris and Smallarge, anyone?), so why not have a more permanent one?
