This is a bracketed competition between Tumblr's most beloved characters, to determine the true King of Autism

Staffed and organized by just 1 person, you may call me mod Bug (they/them please!)

hey bug… wanted to say sorry for the Leonardo stuff… my friend group is scary I didn’t realize everyone would come in clutch like that.. my discord server is so inactive I rlly don’t know how they all came together for me (the youngest in the group)..

again, my deepest apologies I am so sorry 😔

it is all good friend I think that's funny as hell. it would only be a problem if One Guy was submitting him over and over, multiple people submitting a character is just the voice of the people

#qna time

hmm let me do a quick perusal of the nominations before I actually sort them Oh Good Jesus Christ

#mod's nonsense #gonna be real some of these timestamps are. a little suspect.#like its either a very dedicated friend group (based) or one guy submitting over and over (rules violation) in some spots #but either way. hooh boy #also there was in fact one person who tried to sneak in rise donatello. you arent slick. i saw that.

Okay I forgot I have a blog Again I'm just closing submissions this time. You guys have to hold me to filing through them I've got an artfight to do also and no ADHD medication

#mod's nonsense

guess who forgot they have a blog again. meeee

#mod's nonsense

Do we have any autismswag followers that take adderall. how do you cope with your prescription being fucked I have to be without my meds for like 2 and a half more weeks and I'm already feeling the Hell

#mod's nonsense #to be clear this wont affect the summit i did the previous rounds without adderall #but Everything Else is being fucked. Its So Over For Me

to be clear im not despondent that this round isn't pulling as much attention it's just kind of funny to me. it's like if ozymandias was still there watching all of the desert life running around like "wow this shit is awesome I should have a fallen kingdom more often"

#mod's nonsense #except all of the lizards and jerboas were a big fan of the kingdom so they built a new one out of like sand and rocks #or something. i didnt take my adderall today my local pharmacy was way backed up

Oh it's been a while, I think I'm gonna check in on the nominations form-

Huh. Yeah you guys can have 1 more week for this

#mod's nonsense #for context i seem to have lost the 2023 nominations but 2024 had over 800

Nominations for the 2026 bracket are officially open!

Rules: You can nominate as many characters as you like, but only submit 1 entry per character Fictional characters only, no real people (inc

The rules are included in the survey, but I'll write them again here for additional clarity.

Only one submission per character per submitter, although there are no restrictions on how many entries you can make overall.

The tournament features exclusively fictional characters and will not include any real life individual. This includes: Prominent historical figures (including real-world activists) Youtubers and streamers (including V-Tuber personas and Minecraft youtubers) Any real-life animals

All characters submitted must be from some form of published media, indie or otherwise, and any submissions for OCs or characters that cannot be verified will be removed.

Characters and media found to be strongly and/or deliberately offensive, bigoted, or otherwise harmful, can and will be removed from submissions

As a result of the Champion's Belt match, Donatello Hamato does not qualify for participation and nominations for him will be removed. All other returning contestants may be re-submitted.

Nominations will be open for one week, or in the event a week isn't long enough, until there are 64 clear winners. Thank you!

is Rottmnt Donatello the only character whose not allowed to participate or are all Donatellos blocked? If all Donatellos are blocked is he the only ninja turtle blocked or can I submit another tmnt character for the competition?

It's just Rise Donatello that's banned, theoretically you could get another Donatello iteration in with enough nominations. The issue then is beating out the other Rise turtles, since the rule is only 1 character per franchise

#qna time #this is also why pokemon characters from different games are lumped under 1 big pokemon category

autismswagsummit

also sorry for #pranking all of the donatello fans by having the championship match be for deciding who Cant Participate in the 2026 bracket. like this was always the plan but...

autismswagsummit

actually nevermind im not sorry i just checked nominations just to take a little peek and the rottmnt people have just switched gears to getting a Different turtle in. ive created a fandom with an undefeatable morale.

#reblogs #mod's nonsense #like fair enough only donatello is banned lmao

also sorry for #pranking all of the donatello fans by having the championship match be for deciding who Cant Participate in the 2026 bracket. like this was always the plan but...

#mod's nonsense #hes like mr. fan favorite but hes not a 2026 runner because then he would win twice in a row. not allowed

hello hello! with the submissions you said that minecraft youtubers are not allowed, does that extend to characters they play? I'm specifically thinking about things like whitepine which are a lot less like a mcyt series and more like a tv show that just uses minecraft as a medium. thank you for your time!

it kind of has to be on a case-by-case basis because the line between minecraft youtuber and character tends to run very thin. like, to use a broad example, evbo of parkour civilization is functionally just a representation of evbo the minecraft youtuber, except as a character hes a component of a story that the real human being was not a participant in. i'll say as a broad rule for a minecraft character to qualify they must be meaningfully distinct from the youtuber playing them (meaning, a different name, appearance, and/or canonical separation from the usual "self insert"), but you kind of have to just use your best judgement when submitting

#qna time #real people are banned because youre either putting a real person who is not autistic into an Autism Contest #orrr you're comparing someone's real life autistic experience to that of a fictional character's #so either way its just iffy hence the blanket ban
