THE FINALS HAVE ENDED

CONGRATULATIONS IVY ALEXANDRIA, WINNER OF THE ARCHIVISTS AND LIBRARIANS TOURNAMENT

RIP Ayda Aguefort I was personally hoping for them to tie.

It was great learning about all the the different characters, and I've collected several new shows to watch that I'm excited about.

SCP Tournament… 2!

Accepting submissions immediately:

Reminder that entries that made it above round 2 from the previous bracket will be disqualified. A full list of not accepted contestants can

Now that things have calmed down (both in blog and life), I think it's time for the foundation to run the second tournament. We ran out of numbers to crunch and organize, so now the foundation has come back to organize more chaos to later fix.

As voted on by test subjects the people, this bracket with be the same set up as the previous, with the exception to not allow any contestants that made it above round 2. A full list of banned contestants can be found below the read more. There are no other limitations, so normal SCPs, tales, and stories from international brackets are all allowed. Go wild. Find the most obscure stories to share. Find the most controversial. The most confusing narrative. The more the merrier.

Submission period will be open for approximately 2 weeks and a day, ending on the 18th. This date may change depending on the rate of submissions. Assuming all goes smoothly, round 1 (or qualifiers) will begin on the 22nd.

Let the chaos begin again.

I'M SO SORRY BARBARA I DIDN'T MEAN TO MISSPELL YOUR NAME

#I'm dyclexix #dyslexic #normally autocorrect helps me out here but I guess it didn't catch 'babara'#this is so sad the spelling mistake shall now be immortalized #fucking hell #not archivists and librarians

Reasons to vote Ayda:

She doesn't keep the books deliberately disorganized to stop people from buying them, Aziraphale.

She has maintained the Compass Points Library across multiple lifetimes.

According to the wiki, "The library has books on a myriad of topics, including religious texts, old treasure maps, and breaking curses on treasure, which pirates are particularly interested in. [...] It also has an enormous 'friendship' section, which is disguised as a very small, dusty, sparsely populated shelf. Pushing on the shelf reveals a hidden room filled with hundreds, if not thousands, of books dedicated to the topic of friendship. They rest on countless towering shelves with ladders on rails are bathed in golden light. On the back of the shelf is an inscription that reads: 'Much like this shelf, friendship may at first seem humble, but beyond its drab exterior lies a golden treasure greater than any ship's bounty. Go with love, me hearties.' It's later revealed that the section was built by Ayda when she was lonely." So she's very good at providing the books that her clientele need, and also a fucking nerd who treasures friendship!

Voting for Ayda will win you the favor of an Archdevil (her girlfriend), the Oracle, and a literal saint.

She dropped everything and immediately went on a quest to save her first friend.

She flooded hell to rescue her girlfriend.

She had her girlfriend sign a contract so she could confess her feelings. Fucking dork <3

She runs a library in a pirate city and hasn't gotten robbed. Clearly she is both fierce and respected.

"It's a wizard's role to fly past the edges of reality and yet the joy I feel when I'm with you staggers even the imagination of one who can call the wind and seas to their aid.... An exquisite feedback loop of positive reinforcement. What a powerful structure, I love you."

Canon autistic girlie <3

She thinks naming spells after yourself is arrogant but having a spell named for you is awesome, so she made a spell for her friend, who used it to punch her abusive dad's head off. Her friend made her a spell to comprehend subtext.

She appreciates magic frogs, tiny backpacks, and magic frogs with tiny backpacks.

She named her familiar after her adoptive parent and her only friend.

Her favorite thing is being proven wrong and finding out the true nature about things.

She deserves nice things <3

I haven't even watched any of it (I keep meaning to, but the stars haven't aligned) but I love her so much.

#archivist propaganda #dimension 20

Reasons to vote Ivy Alexandria:

"Ivy will try to retire, spend her final centuries on a small library planet with those books that mean so much to her. Unfortunately, the library will do what they are so prone to and burn in a pointless war. Ivy falls launching an escape pod piled high with ancient texts that scholars will someday say were actually... quite a dull read."

Ivy was born in a library and raised surrounded by books. According to the website, "for her birthday every year, she was given a book [...] She kept them all in a carefully separated pile, in the nest of blankets she slept in, in a cubby-hole made in the corner between two long bookcases [...] [she] grew up there, climbing bookshelves as other children might trees, reading cross-legged on top of them, or curled under a desk, or in a chair, or leaning against a shelf. Books were her companions, her friends, her lovers."

She originally died during a library fire where she refused to let go of the books to save herself and hated her assailant not for attacking her, but for letting the books burn.

She describes herself as "search engine, encyclopaedia, almanac, index. She is not the reader, but the book, a library of books, each waiting its turn on the dusty shelves of an endless archive, centuries in the building."

She remembers her past as a "catalogues of names, lists of dates, archived footage in the library of her head"--she knows the facts, but she not the emotions connected to them. According to her official story "Archive Footage," "the present, she sees, she hears, she touches, tastes, smells, feels: that is what the present is for, the moment that is the only moment, the only experience, that she must absorb every facet of, because it is the one, the only now. There is no past but the chronicles, no future to speak of: there is only now, and she lives it to its fullest and is glad of it." She knows all the data, but she forgets herself every day, so she gleefully spends every day learning and understanding as much as she can.

She's an immortal space pirate musician archivist. Fuck yeah.

FUCK YEAH LOVE HER <3
