Rules and form

Hello, tumblr citizenry. I have another poll tournament for you. This one's all about angels, and angel-adjacent beings. The rules are as follows:

Don't be a dick

Angels from fictional stories and real-life religious texts (and wherever else you can know about angels from) are all accepted. As long as it's an angel (or close enough).

I'll close submissions on Thursday the 27th and take what I can get

You can submit multiple angels but please keep it to one per poll

Submit your angels through this form here

Have fun!

you can strip an angel of it's divinity by touching it with a magnet because the memory on it's hard drive is easily erased by anything with a strong enough magnetic field

I just started following @angel-tournament (who, by the way, has a great blog title with "BE NOT AFRAID) and I pity all those pour souls (and soulless embodiments of morality or concepts) who have to go up against the Ineffable Spouses on this website. Like, maybe Castiel has enough residual blorbo energy from 2012 or whatever, but nobody else has a fighting chance. Also, vote for 82 White Chain Born in Emptiness Returns to Subdue Evil while you can.

There was a group of angels at the bar tonight. Super intense vibe, but they kept to themselves and didn't disturb the other patrons, except for one point when they all suddenly burst into cheers and ordered a round for the bar. I asked what they were celebrating. They told me that for a split second all of the air molecules bounced petfectly into one corner of the room. It's like their version of the dvd screensaver.

VOTE FOR MY ANIME BOY

reasons:

-Gay piano playing

-The fact that he's an angel is a MASSIVE GODDAMN SPOILER

-he straight up could have ended humanity but he was 'curious about humanity'

-instead he made the boy he was crushing on kill him with his own two hands (it was very gay)

-died for the guy in a different timeline (it was even gayer)

Like I can't emphasize this enough. This angel does is have The Gay
