Heute stellen wir euch nochmal alle Teilnehmenden des ECG Vorentscheides 2026 auf der Connichi 2025 vor. Wir sagen herzlichen Dank an alle, die den Vorentscheid wieder zu einem wunderbaren Erlebnis gemacht haben - Teilnehmende, Publikum und Mitwirkende!

Sorry for the video quality, it's definitely not the best! But I still wanted to upload all the Connichi ECG skits, so that you can see all of them if you couldn't see it live, or just want to see it again! youtu.be/vy1BAvEdYx8?...

You can‘t leave him alone. Always doing something unexpected~

it‘s time to invest in a better sewing machine for the @ecggermany.bsky.social project 🌚 Does anyone have recommendations if you want to sew faux leather or thicker fabrics? still working on a budget (especially due to the trip to Japan - buying one there would also be kind of a wild experience 😂)

Just finished a rough audio/visual storyboard for our next @ecggermany.bsky.social project - or as I told Dan „it‘s not just a project, it‘s a whole production!“ 😈👍 (It‘s still in early development but I‘m so excited to continue working on it with him together 😎)

Just bought myself something I have been eyeing for years!!! Can’t wait to test it out (hopefully soon) we might even be able to use it for the @ecggermany.bsky.social project in Paris 🌚 @octobrothers.bsky.social

We just talked 2 hours about possible ideas for the @ecggermany.bsky.social final 2026 project and I really hope we can manage to pull it off 🌚 it would be such a dream come true performance~ @octobrothers.bsky.social

And here’s the video of the announcement that we won the @ecggermany.bsky.social preliminaries- you can see @mexxkite.bsky.social’s brain still figuring out who number 16 was while filming and after that a lot of happy ugly crying on stage 🌚 That is again @connichi.de and everyone for the support!

We are so happy to have been chosen as @ecggermany.bsky.social Team for 2026! We hope you enjoy our performance as Inigo and Owain from #FireEmblem Thanks to everyone who supported us along the way and thanks to @connichi.de for such a great experience! @octobrothers.bsky.social

Edited and uploaded our @ecggermany.bsky.social performance on YouTube youtu.be/5Ty4vOaIgww?... Still can‘t believe it happend 🌚 @octobrothers.bsky.social

Working hard with emotional support right by my side 🌚 Hopefully I can finish the edit today or tomorrow! I received so many different camera angles that my Programm shut down 😂 @ecggermany.bsky.social @octobrothers.bsky.social

After the Con(test) is before the Con(test) So we just spent the last 5 hours (until 2am) talking about what happened last weekend during the @ecggermany.bsky.social preliminaries and our plans for the finale! Are we going to be completetly sleep deprived? Yes. Yes we are~

If anybody has videos of our @ecggermany.bsky.social performance (or reactions and so on) and would allow me to maybe use some of it, I would be thrilled to make an edit of the whole experience!! Feel free to contact me in any way (just no arrows through the window, I doubt my cats would like that 🌚

Max sat in the German fan block for @daiyame.bsky.social & @stephcalation.bsky.social and can fully agree it’s always a good time 🌚

And yes, there are kneepads as well and you can clearly see which knee I used for the spin during our rehearsal in my parents backyard and on stage (hint: it’s the dirty one 😂) I always wear them on stage - better safe than sorry!! @octobrothers.bsky.social @ecggermany.bsky.social

Just threw Owain inmy bagpaxk after Connichi and am trying to untangle it all - still can‘t believe that we‘re the next @ecggermany.bsky.social team 🙃 Gonna wash everything now so I can wear him again at Elfia Arcen in two weeks! @octobrothers.bsky.social

Did I scream myself into a headache today? Yes. Was it worth it? Also yes. Does the whole Wiesbaden know now I'm an @octobrothers.bsky.social ULTRA now? Absolutely.

The moment we realized it! Thank you @calssara.bsky.social for filming that! We still can’t believe it!!

Sudden flashmob in front of the gate‘s to @connichi.de 😂👍 Thank you everyone!! 💕

Ugly crying Max will be the reaction pic to everything the next days 😂👍 Thank you to @stephcalation.bsky.social and @daiyame.bsky.social for such an unforgettable moment on and off stage 🤌✨

SCHREIT und weint VOR FREUDE für @octobrothers.bsky.social Als neues @ecggermany.bsky.social TEAM!#!!! (Wir wussten nichts vorher, keiner wollte uns was sagen.)

Max has already spottet thing we can do even better next time, so you might be in for another treat next year 🌚

First? 😂👍 @octobrothers.bsky.social @ecggermany.bsky.social #FireEmblem

THANK YOU ALL! We will try to react to everything but are both on our ways back home and just overwhelmed by all the positive reactions! We hope we can bring justice to the trust that was put into us and are going to to the best representing Germany at next years @ecggermany.bsky.social finale!
