Best OC Ship

another Tumblr OC poll bracket thing :P

[bestocship]

Rules

Do you have an OC pairing that lives rent-free in your head? Do you want a chance to share them to the world and possibly have them win in mortal combat? Then you've come to the right place!

Any type of romantic relationship goes. It does not have to be just between two people! (Basically, if you want to submit a polycule go for it!)

I am going to allow submission of fan OCs (that is, OCs that come from a pre-existing media). However, I am not going to allow pairings between an OC and a canon character, just in the interest of being fair.

With that being said, I do have some media that I'm not comfortable with. I don't feel like making a DNI for a poll blog LOL, but Homestuck characters are a no-go, just going to nip that in the bud. If you're uncertain about a media, just submit your OC, and if it doesn't get in, it doesn't get in.

I'm also not going to allow pedophilic and incestuous relationships, although I hope that's a given. <3

I don't expect this poll to get that big so I'm allowing up to two submissions. I don't really feel like making a big poll or having this go on for months without end, so if I do get a lot of submissions I may curb this and/or cut some people's OCs. Sorry if that happens!

If your OCs don't get in, you're free to DM/send me an ask after brackets have been announced and I will tell you why.

In the event of a tie, I'm going to flip a coin.

Lastly, HAVE FUN and BE NICE!

Submit your pairing HERE

Submissions close April 20th!

Sorry for radio silence ^_^ Irl things & school got in the way again. Round 2 will continue next week, on Wednesday!

[bestocship]

Most polls are now over, but there are still 17 hours and 41 minutes left for the last poll. Results will be officially announced probably sometime over the weekend, but I hope everybody had fun & enjoyed seeing other people's OCs ^__^

[bestocship]

Okay next round will be a week long as well ^__^ Since there was such a large amount of people who wanted a quicker round though, I will reask the same question when the second round is nearly over and see if there are any changes in the majority of opinion!

[bestocship]

Should rounds last another week or shorten to 24 hours?

Keep rounds a week long

Shorten rounds to one day

[ ID: A simplistic digital drawing of Hanna and Elías, original characters. Hanna has long, straight hair with bangs and a squarish face; she wears a lab coat, a turtleneck shirt, and over-glasses safety goggles. She is shown dissecting an abstractly-depicted specimen, her mouth open but her expression difficult to discern through her goggles. Elías stands next to her, smiling with his eyes rolled and his hands in his pockets. Elías has an oval-shaped face and fluffy, two-toned hair; he wears jeans and a t-shirt. Above their heads is a screenshotted text conversation: "I hate to disagree with you" / "Please. You love to disagree with me more than anything, it's your favorite thing in the world." The tails of the text bubbles have been extended to Hanna and Elías, respectively. /End ID. ]

more of these two. they're silly <3

[criitterbug]

did anyone say teenage romance?

(bea/beau eris belongs to @threedeemensional)

[criitterbug]

this also doubles as propaganda for @bestocship!!

[erufin-art]

HI AND HELLO this is what lesbians and a buncha motivation does to a mf. You make 3 pages in one evening/night.

I MADE THIS IN ORDER TO SUBMIT IT AS PROPAGANDA TO VOTE FOR JANIS AND ANON IN THIS POLL, but it can obviously be enjoyed without that lmao. Look at my girls! Breaking into a theatre play and stealing a costume afterwards! Truly the date idea to add to your bucket list.

[bestocship]

Early congrats on Ophelia/Amos (belonging to: @bubblelovewaltz) for making it to Round 2!

Delilah and Oriel belong to @/sawvidae

as a quick reminder, here is their description:

In short their relationship is an "annoyance to lovers" story with the "there was only one bed" trope except it's "there was only one body". Oriel starts crushing on Delilah, gets turned down, but decides she wants to be friends regardless and follows her around until they both end up in a near-fatal incident that they only narrowly escape by Ori activating a last resort spell that gets them both stuck sharing a big furry deer-beast body. Delilah's pissed, but Ori apologizes and takes a massive step back until she starts to warm up to her, and gets desperate enough to agree to totally platonic sex in their little shared headspace. After nearly a year of this, Delilah's literal serial killer mother attacks them, and when they get out of it mostly alright, Ori is frantic and accidentally confesses her feelings that end up being mutual (they also figure out how to temporarily split back into individual people again, which is convenient). Another year in, during which their feelings deepen and Delilah is introduced to Ori's loving family, and her mother attacks them again, this time without the intention of leaving them alive. They have no real hope of escaping, but Delilah fights back anyways, and manages to kill her mother. They both survive, and after they're recovered, they find someone to get them separated so they can live as two separate people again, and eventually get married, and get their happily ever after. 

The point of this poll is about sharing OCs, & just because they're gone doesn't mean they don't matter! I hope people are having fun & I encourage people to take the opportunity to learn more about people's OCs outside of this poll setting :)!

[twinkrundgren]

oh boy they're spewing out her propaganda, propaganda

@bestocship

hi. you want to know what edwinucci is. well you have come to the right place. It is a pairing between Edwin Montrose (@twinkrundgren) and Giovanni "Pantucci" Pantucci (@greengartside) and these idiots are so toxic to each other than it somehow ends up being the most enduring relationship in the history of many stupid AUs.

they can be cute!

they can be awful!

they can FIGHT!

they are kinky!

they're so perfect for each other that they cause problems for everyone else around them due to their inability to be normal.

and there's a comic about how they came to be, among other things. you should read it.

hannalías propaganda for the @bestocship poll

[geometryyaoi]

Sergio and Beau propaganda real? (not clickbait)

i have entered this mild mannered viola player and his weird toyfriend into the @bestocship poll and they got in, which means of course i now get free reign to be as annoying about these two as possible!

Meet the two protagonists of the (eventual) visual novel called Collector's Dream!

(art by my dear friend @liminals-space )

WHY SHOULD YOU VOTE FOR THESE TWO?

its simple, really. I liek them :]

but no really beau and sergio are near and dear to my heart, learning ren'py on a whim months ago because i wanted to make the story with them something real that can be shared with others, and although i am a very Slow worker who easily distracts cirself, by god i will make it real.

Now these two arent exactly a traditional ship youd see anywhere, this is mostly because beau is objectum and sergio is a pair of actual hands away for trying to end the world. HOWEVER despite that they contain traits you can usually find in more popular ships!

for example, human/robot or human/demon! people like that kind of stuff right? people also usually tend to like height differences! huh whats that? ... ive been informed most people into height difference ships between a human and a nonhuman usually prefer it when the human is the smaller one. hm. oh well

oh well, their lack of traditionally advertise-able traits doesnt really matter when in the end theyre very cute together anyway. sometimes a loving marriage is between a viola player and a raging spirit turned into a goofy robot, please consider voting for these two! if i win ill be happy and if i lose ill also be happy because either way im making people look at them, which was my goal all along, i win either way!

[bestocship]

Just a reminder I need propaganda polls DMED to me! My notes are already full of people reblogging polls, so this just makes things easier for me. Thank you!
