How does tumblr even work again
Everybody driving a car thinks they're the main character of the car. This is an ideologically bourgeois attitude. You know who doesn't ever feel like the main character of the vehicle they're in? Literally everyone on the bus. You're on the fucking bus. And the bus driver doesn't feel like the main character of the bus because she's at fucking work. The bus is the most ideologically proletarian form of transport.

This poll is a celebration of fandom and fandom history; we're aware that there are certain issues with many of the listed pairings and sources, but they are a part of that history. Please do not take this as an endorsement, and refrain from harassment.
spn fans acting like the only valid form of enjoyment fandoms can take part in is writing omegaverse fanfics on Ao3. 🙄
And in the case of Gundam specifically, a huge chunk of fan engagement consists of building, painting, and customising plastic models kits; there were a lot of wedding themed HG and FM Aerials, and all sorts customs of the Figure-Rise Suletta and Mio kits. Compared to Supernatural, the Gundam fandom just exists on an entirely different axis (no pun intended).
*pushes over entire poll*
Why the FUCK are people debating this nonsense when we could be looking at wedding themed gunpla?!?!
I need to see it desperately
A general selection of some fun customs (with the first one being the most directly relevant) for your viewing pleasure.
"put their money where their mouth is" oh my god ohhhhhh my god the stupidest fucking thing you could say to gundam fans. motherfuckers go broke buying model kits. spn fans aint got nothing on that
On December 25th, 2022 my brain chemistry was permanently altered by this and I have not been normal about them since.
I couldn't decide between the versions with and without glasses

Recently there was a comment that genuinely got under my skin, and that was someone checking out GWitch, only to complain left and right about everything that wasn't Miorine. They even insulted the OST by calling it obnoxious, and bro.
I studied music for four years.
The composition of pieces like The Witch from Mercury and Asticassia are genuinely beautiful. I cannot hear Asticassia without feeling everything the piece tries to convey: a sense of awe and admiration, which Suletta felt as she first entered the academy. Is it in a rather common musical scale? Yeah! But it's beauty shines through in its 6/8 tempo, echoing a waltz that just tickles my ears so nicely. The strings, the percussion, everything melts into a beautiful pot of wonder. Don't even get me started on the key change, because those are right up my alley. Genuinely, I love this track so much. I'm stopping myself right now before I even touch The Witch from Mercury and Clara Sorace's spectacular vocals.
I like GWitch a lot. The writing, the characters, the cute little promotional campaings (Suletta and Miorine went on dates through all of Japan!) and, obviously, the stunning OST that, from beginning to end, accomplishes the task of setting the atmosphere.
Here are the pieces that bring me the most serotonin (because Clumsily but also Steadily can make me smile with those first six notes)
Watch GWitch and enjoy them firsthand!

So, I've noticed a number of Destiel supporters claiming that Sulemio is only winning because people are voting against Destiel and not for Sulemio. So I have to point out that Sulemio has out voted Destiel every round of this tournament, well before anyone would have been voting for Sulemio just to spite Destiel.
In fact, in three of those rounds (3,4, Semis) they went up against other femslash ships, so they didn't even have the full force of independent voters voting for them just because they're a wlw ship, and they still had more votes than Destiel.
In other words: Sulemio would probably still be leading even without the anti-Destiel vote. The gap might not be as large, and we might even trail at points, but we've had the numbers to win this all along. And that's not even getting into the fact that this poll has broken containment and attracted the attention of the general Gundam fandom, many of whom are happy to support Sulemio/aren't happy about the disrespect shown towards the franchise here.
Those who are taking this poll to seriously have forgotten that this is for fun. I love the passion form both sides but we must agree to be kind. What destiel did for the LGBTQ community helped laid the groundwork for shows like “the Witch from Mercury” to have openly gay characters and the fact that Destiel made it to the finals shows how popular Destiel still is, So let’s put any nastiness behind us and let’s have some fun.
So come on Supernatural community give us a go fight that will become a legend that the tumblr bards will sing for all eternity!
Please I'm begging you to consider that LGBTQ communities around the world have rich cultures of their own, existing outside the scope of a show that aired on a minor American television network and hyped within an insular subsection of a primarily English-speaking web community. Not everything related to gay rights is gifted to the world from the United States
The only things that we know influenced Gundam The Witch From Mercury having openly gay characters was Revolutionary Girl Utena (which ALSO had openly gay and bi character. IN THE NINETIES. WAY before supernatural) and everything that influenced Revolutionary Utena (Princess Knight,The Rose of Versailles, Dear Brother (literally had canon lesbian characters in the 70s), Sailor Moon (lesbians in the 90's again! Famously!) by the same director, GUNDAM ITSELF, Takarazuka) and of course the previous entries of Gundam which, as many people pointed out, had a thriving slash fanbase since the 1970s, a fandom primed to love queer pairings, and they absolutely did in Sulemio's case.
Be real. Supernatural is likely not nearly as popular in Japan (the omegaverse is a lot less obscure, but not many people are aware of the Supernatural origins), and there is definitely not a thriving Destiel shipping community there the way there is in America. It's one of the most clear cut examples of queerbait, and having a gay character at the last second get sent to superhell four years ago doesn't influence anyone but fandom.
Heck, even American kid's animation made strides before Destiel did. Legend of Korra, Steven Universe, fairly sure She-ra ended at the beginning of the pandemic...and did any of these reference Supernatural? No, but many of them sure as hell referenced Revolutionary Girl Utena.
they only thing we know for sure Destiel influenced was the omegaverse, which is quite a claim to fame, but has nothing to do with representation in other shows.
Japan and anime has it's own unique queer history, and I encourage anyone who's interested in it to learn about it. Dismissing anime as a medium is the exact same as dismissing animation made by an entire country, and there's a treasure trove to find there.
This! I am begging people who think American dramas are the only reason we have LGBTQ characters on TV now to please actually look through the rich and incredible history of yuri anime and see how many openly lesbian characters existed that led up to getting lesbians in a franchise as massive and mainstream as Gundam. Supernatural ain’t what got Sulemio here!
There is actually a long history on anime beating American animation to the punch on a number of progressive milestones. As an example, Roy Focker and Claudia La Salle from SDF Macross were the first interracial couple to appear in an animated series on American TV. Which it must be said, it is really depressing it took until 1985 for that to happen.
Point of order, no offense to @ladyloveandjustice , but destiel is not the origin of omegaverse. That honor belongs to J2 (Jensen Ackles/Jared Padalecki), and destiel was not queerbait (couldn't find my 2021 reblog about this, but the only one queerbaiting is misha, to pander to his minions), so really the people complaining destiel isn't winning are trying to steal valor all around.
I didn't mean for this to get so long, so fair warning on that, and I know it's not meant to be super serious, but I gotta chime in on the claims of how influential destiel is to fandom and fan culture as a whole, because it's just so overstated.
I knew destiel wasn't patient zero for omegaverse! (I didn't remember that it was RPF. Bonkers.) I do think that destiel probably popularized the concept, but it's wild to see how people saying things like "destiel is as influential as Kirk/Spock! Know your roots!" while others claim the rights to something that 1. wasn't even related to the ship in the first place, and 2. features a lot of tropes that are clearly and heavily inspired by Amok Time/Pon Farr and are therefore the result of the very ship they're claiming destiel matches in influence.
For the record, I'm not being hyperbolic about that, it's actually been said:
If we're talking about overall franchise influence, Gundam characters have been featured on postage stamps in Japan, as has Rose of Versailles, a key inspiration for Revolutionary Girl Utena, which in turn was a major inspiration for G-Witch. Star Trek has also been featured on postage stamps in multiple countries, with a lot of them featuring Kirk and Spock specifically! I could be wrong, but I can't find any instance that this was done for Supernatural, much less prominently featuring Dean and Cas.
The day that Suletta and Miorine being married was stated as canon (before Bandai tried to walk it back and then later were revealed to be lying liars who lie), the series occupied three of Japan's top five daily trends on Twitter:
The day that destiel was canonized, none of the related tags made the top five at all for the States, and none of them did the following day, either:
It's worth mentioning that the big destiel event happened during the 2020 US Presidential Election, which was obviously a big fucking deal, but I want to point out that #GetWellSoonYoongi (well wishes for Suga of BTS after he tested positive for covid) managed to hit the third spot in the trends for the day that destiel got the most overall posts and searches, so it's clearly not impossible to overtake the election with a fannish topic.
I also feel compelled to point out that the overall volume of posts out of the States is higher than those out of any other country, so while some people are certain to trot out the overall post count as proof that destiel is clearly more influential, that is not the case when the States account for 105.4 million users and Japan accounts for 73.4 million. The States have almost 50% more users than Japan, of course there are going to be more posts.
Basically, the influence of destiel in certain remaining pockets of tumblr might be impressive, but outside that very closed ecosystem it's pretty minimal. This poll is based on tumblr's top 100 ships for 2023, where destiel ranked #3 (again) and SuleMio was new to the list at #59, above such staples as stucky, SasuNaru, JohnLock, Korrasami and Catradora, so it's not like it has no presence on the site—I personally haven't seen a non-meme destiel related post come across my dash since 2020, but SuleMio and G-Witch pop up a couple times a month. (Gundam in general pops up pretty much daily. I do not follow any blogs specifically catering to this franchise or series in any capacity.)
Claiming that destiel stands head to head with a fandom juggernaut like Kirk/Spock—a ship which is also on that list at #48, having moved up nine spaces since the previous year in spite of having existed since 1967—because you personally engage with it more often than you do with ships like SuleMio is a pretty egregious overstatement of its impact on fan culture as a whole.
Asserting influence that does not exist as an argument for why people should support destiel instead of a ship that's also on the list from which this bracket was made and therefore is also rightfully included in this poll, because you've never happened to see it before, is ridiculous. Claiming that SuleMio only exists because of a series with significantly less cultural impact than the ship's own parent franchise is even more ridiculous.
God forbid women (or any country other than the United States) do anything.

"what the fuck is sulemio, ive never heard of this random anime women, it has no history, people are only voting against destie-"
Sulemio is one of the most popular anime ships of this decade. It is the first openly queer, CANON relationship between the protagonist and her love interest, of whats essentially Asia's Star Wars. It brought thousands of new fans into this legacy francshise, and is also the case of one of the funniest and clumsiest attempts at corporate censeroship of LGBT rep (and for anyone whos wondering - no, they werent "decanoninzed", literally eveyone since then from the staff refers to them as wives).
Sulemio are a married gay couple in one of the most popular anime of 2022-2023, in a country that still hasnt legalized same sex marriage... Do you understand how BIG of a deal they are? They may not have as many fanfics as Destiel, or have been around for as long as them... But thier cultural impact WORLDWIDE, not just on tumblr, cannot be uderstated

i haven't even used this account yet but you KNOW i had to log on to support Sulemio supremacy. i see lots of ppl confused about an "anime they've never heard of" winning this hard. a lot of people are defo voting just because they're (rightfully) sick of white men dominating fandom but you shouldn't discount Sulemio or the impact they've had! here's a couple quick reasons why!!!!!! 1 - Gundam is one of the highest-grossing franchises on Earth. the original Mobile Suit Gundam (1979) wasn't a commercial success at release, this series never would've happened without True Gay Warriors making Char x Garma doujins and keeping Gundam alive. 2 - Suletta Mercury and Miorine Rembran get married. there's no queer-baiting. the entire story is centred on their love for one another and is in no way a half-hearted attempt at pleasing a fandom. G-Witch was tragically cut short from the typical 50 ep Gundam anime but even with the time they had, they never lost focus fleshing out their romance. 3 - the production team had to fight HARD to have them get married, up until after its release when Bandai tried to run it back as being "up to interpretation". that prompted fans globally to ratio them so hard they were forced to retract their statement and apologize. 4 - Gundam, one of the biggest pop-culture icons in Japan with a cultural footprint akin to Star Wars, featuring canonical gay marriage on a smash-hit anime (the HG 1/144 Aerial is the highest-selling Gundam model kit in history) in a country that hasn't yet legalized gay marriage is a huge deal for obvious reasons. 5 - they rule ok

Crunching the numbers a bit, destiel would need to miraculously accrue roughly 17,300 just to break even, and that's assuming all remaining votes cast are going purely to destiel from now on, which lol.
The destiel fans are definitely trying, but they've moved the needle like, .2% in the past few hours.
Needless to say I'm pretty confident. Hubristic, even.

To all the people in the notes confused by what Gundam is or why it’s so popular, here’s a very brief summary:
Gundam is a long running giant robot franchise that began in 1979 and is still going strong to this day. It’s had dozens of installments across anime, manga, novels, video games, and even some live action adaptions, and spawned a massive merchandising empire. It also spawned a few memes, since this is tumblr and I know that’s important here.
Oh, and they also made multiple life-size, animatronic statues of the giant robots from the series

So, there’s that as well.
Needless to say that the 45-year-old-but-still-ongoing franchise with the money to build real life mecha is pretty popular.
Now, Suletta and Miorine are the protagonists of the very recent “Witch from Mercury” spin-off. They are notable for both being some of the relatively few female protagonists in Gundam, the only female protagonists of a Gundam tv series (the others have been limited to lower profile projects) and the first openly gay protagonists in the franchise. Apparently the higher ups had been hesitant to let the writers incorporate female or gay leads for fear that they wouldn’t sell as well as cishet men. Anyway, Witch from Mercury is also notable for being the single most profitable Gundam series. . . Like, ever. . . Nearly half a century, dozens of installments, multiple 6-story tall animatronics, and the franchise PEAKED IN POPULARITY AND FINANCIAL SUCCESS the second it added lesbians to it.
So, yeah, SuleMio’s kinda a big deal.
