CONGRATULATIONS TO MADOKA KANAME FOR WINNING THE 2023 DIVINE SWAG SUMMIT!!!!

In a tournament with so many competitors, it's truly an impressive win! Though maybe I should've expected her to sweep since this is literally the gay people website? Still, congratulations to Madoka for being the swaggiest fictional god-like being!

Congratulations to the Axolotl for getting second place! I gotta say, a giant space axolotl is pretty swaggy.

And congratulations to Palutena for her third place win! She may have lost her first match but she clawed her way through the Losers Bracket and straight to the Finale! What a comeback!

Also, shoutout to all the other competitors for being here! There were tons of characters that I didn't even know existed, and I loved reading your explanations for every submission! You guys sure do love your blorbos!

This was so fun that I've decided that I wanna make this an annual thing, so I'll see you all next year!

Also, if you wanna see the full bracket of this past tournament, here's a link to the masterpost!

Unfortunately, the tournament will not return until this summer. I’ll be opening up a google form for submissions around then!

Ah yes, 1/4......

ok so i started listening to the magnus archives again and uhhhhhh:

mikaele salesa is a nice guy???? what??? ok

ya know i was kinda wondering if martin had his own domain cuz like, if he's not a victim he's a perpetrator, right? also it's kinda cool that his domain is a mix of the lonely and the eye

so john can also turn people into avatars?? thats actually really cool

honestly i think that whole conversation martin had with himself was good actually, like i do actually trust that he wasnt just trying to get martin to stay. i agree that martin def needed a bit of time to himself cuz so much has been happening lately and he really needed a break from all that

anyway yeah i only listened to a few episodes today so uhhhh thats it for now

#anyway yeah i had a long drive today so i decided yeah lemme start listening to it again #OH ALSO #martin and also-martin talking abt the cost of returning the world to normal makes me very anxious abt it #please say sike yall #but i have a feeling it was foreshadowing anyway #i just know someone is gonna have to die #and it makes the most sense for it to be john :(#martin blackwood #tma liveblog #not divine matchup #the magnus archives

#oh look it’s my art!!!!#this took me ages to do man #its uhhhhh a bit #idk edgy?????? or somethin #but like all for the sake of the symbolism #something something red string of fate tainted by blood #something something their bond has become something that is fatal to them both but mostly to basil #something something transference of blood from sunny’s hands to basil’s symbolizing a shared burden #anyway #blood #noose #tw blood #tw noose #blood tw #noose tw #the prophet’s paintings #not divine matchup

drift-compatible-poll

Is your favorite duo/trio totally in sync?

Let's put that to the test, shall we? From the mod who brought you @divine-swag-summit , welcome to...

The Drift Compatible Poll!!!!!

A tournament for duos and trios that are so in sync, they could pilot a Jaeger together! Not familiar with Pacific Rim or the concept of drifting/being drift compatible? Here's some handy dandy excerpts straight from the Pacific Rim Wiki:

"The process of Drifting is a type of Mind Meld that requires the pilots to share their memories, instinct and emotions with each other. Drifting allows them to act as one consciousness and control the very movement of the Jaeger itself, with one pilot controlling the "right hemisphere" and the other the "left hemisphere"." "Whether two pilots are "Drift Compatible" with one another depends largely on their personal connection and their ability to work in sync with each other." "Trust is also an implicit part in creating a strong bond between potential partners and familiarity with a partner makes fostering trust easier, as it is usually more difficult between strangers."

So basically, a duo or trio that is drift compatible must: 1) Have a strong personal connection 2) Be very in sync with each other 3) Trust each other

Got it? Use this form to submit your duos and trios! But wait! Don't forget to read the:

SUBMISSION RULES

1. Only submit duos and trios please! As far as I know, at most tree people can pilot a Jaeger together, so I won't accept quartets or anything bigger than that! Sorry!

2. Relationships can be romantic or platonic, they just have to be close enough to pilot a Jaeger together!

3. No Pacific Rim characters! This tournament is for duos/trios that aren't from Pacific Rim!

4. No Harry Potter characters or Dream SMP characters! We don’t associate with Dream or J.K. Rowling here.

5. You may submit multiple duos/trios if you want, but please don't submit a duo/trio multiple times! It skews the submission results which is very unfair for the rest of the potential competitors.

6. While an explanation is not required, I encourage you to write one up because I'll be using some in the descriptions for the polls!

chosenonecompetition

Welcome to the Chosen One competition!

Is your blorbo fated by some ancient prophecy to save the world? Do they struggle under the weight of their destiny? Is your blorbo... the Chosen One? This is the place for all your favorite (or least favorite) chosen ones to compete against each other! Some guidelines for the tournament:

They have to be explicitly referred to in the source material as a chosen one.

No Harry Potter submissions, please.

I don't think there are any real people who count? But if you can find one, feel free to submit.

Submit as many different characters as you want, but don't spam the same character.

Submission will be open for a few weeks, depending on how many get submitted.

Inspired by other tournaments, including @ultimate-poll-tournament, @emoboybattle, @latine-showdown, @obscurecharactershowdown, @divine-swag-summit, @generic-man-in-suit-battle, @michaeltournament, @retirement-home-rumble, @hauntthenarrative, @tournament-winners-tournament, and @patheticmenscuffle

Yuki is, in canon, a gnc as fuck boy.

This is his casual everyday fit. It's so cute and I love him. He works as the costume designer + maker in the theatre company the entire game revolves around!! As well as one of the actors of the Summer troupe, a troupe focused on comedies <3

Thanks to his androgynous vibes, he often plays girl characters

He played a catgirl once. What more do you need?

Thanks to the fact that he's gender-non-conforming in every goddamn direction, you can absolutely read Yuki as gnc transmasc (It is heavily implied that one of the characters knew him when they were little kids and had a crush on him because he thought Yuki was a girl </3), as transfem, as non-binary or as a gnc cis boy (even though canon cites him as "fully male, just likes to wear cute clothes"). In canon, there is a very heartrending scene in which he finally lets down his cool-tsundere façade to cry in the arms of his friend and school peer after getting bullied by other peers for wearing dresses, saying that he just wants to be able to freely do what he likes.

Anyway I love Yuki Rurikawa, he is my son, he is the moment. Vote Yuki Rurikawa because look at him
