Guy: "My grandmother's house was destroyed by a pack of wolves"
Kilza: "More information on that will be announced soon!"

This made me laugh!

Welp my horse origami didn't go well at all.

Neither did mine so I just tried to make it vaguely look like a horse and stopped there

Your money horse was such a nice idea!

I was gonna add these flames to it, cut out via paper anf use a light to cast fire shadows but I'll do that another time.

I kept trying follow this YouTube video but for some odd reason, the more I followed the directions, the harder it became to fold

Same here.
And there's some videos you gotta be careful to tell which is real, which isn't; which ones show a completely different end origami to the one that was shown in the thumbnail.

I dunno if its the paper I use. It's proper square origami paper, and I even measured it, but even so when I try and make a perfect fold, the lines dont connect. It's so fustrating.

Does the mystery horse under the banner become Roscoe now that he's been chosen? Or does it just stay the same? Just wondering
