i love this poll so much but i have been reprimanded by my peers for failing to submit cesare from the german expressionist film "the cabinet of dr. caligari" back when submissions were open. to assuage the damage which this egregious oversight on my part has wrought, i humbly request that you share this edit my friend made. thank you https://www.tumblr.com/ankhisms/698952856511889408/hi-everyone-im-very-sorry

In this house we spotlight ALL emo boys, not just ones who made it into the tournament

someday, somewhere

hi everyone. im very sorry

[emoboybattle]

SpongeBob wins it's true I can see the future /j

Lol your prediction will likely soon come true anon

OLD MAN YAOI/OLD WOMAN YURI TOURNAMENT

Do you love old man yaoi? Old woman yuri? Do you want to see your favorite old man yaoi and old woman yuri couples fight each other? to the death? Well here we are now.

(Btw we only do real gay elders here we are NOT calling dudes in their 30s old man yaoi. more info is in the form and under the read more)

This is my third time running a tournament; I also did @worstcharacterpoll and @youngersiblingstournament & both times i have gained more insight on how to run these properly LOL

well anyway ACCEPTING SUBMISSIONS NOW vvv

Submit Your Old Man Yaoi/Old Woman Yuri

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES (Please read): No real people even if it's really funny No characters based on real people Couples must be gay; if one

No set submission closing time yet but try to get your submissions in asap

Guidelines and stuff is below, but it's copy pasted in the submission form. Also please submit yuri

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES (Please read):

No real people even if it's really funny

No characters based on real people

Couples must be gay; if one of them is canonically nonbinary though, they will be allowed

No incest or abusive ships

I'll be vetting source material on a case-by-case basis, but just so we're clear I'm not putting Harry Potter or OFMD in the poll

There will be a maximum of one ship per source material in the poll. You can submit multiple ships from the same material, but only one will be allowed if it gets in

AGE GUIDELINES SECTION (because I keep seeing people use the term "old man yaoi" for couples in their 30s or even 20s):

THESE GO FOR BOTH PARTIES IN THE RELATIONSHIP

Human characters with a canon age must be at least 50. This also goes for characters that aren't human but age at the same rate as humans. Please double-check your characters' ages before you submit to save me some headache

If they don't have a canon age, they must look elderly.

No characters that have been de-aged (ex. Purah from Zelda).

For nonhuman characters that age at a different rate than humans: they must be old for their species (ex. Ravenpaw and Barley from Warrior Cats; Ravenpaw is the younger one, and is around the same age as Graystripe, who becomes old enough to retire as an elder).

For immortals/characters with very very long lifespans, they must look old (ex. Gandalf from Lord of the Rings would count; Hythlodaeus from Final Fantasy XIV would not).

Couples that will already be in the poll, so you don't need to submit them:

Fiddleford McGucket/Stanford Pines (Gravity Falls)

Hanayo Nishida/Yoshiko Dojima (Hanamonogatari)

Ravenpaw/Barley (Warriors)

Eda Clawthorne/Raine Whispers (The Owl House)

Couples already under consideration, but will depend on the other submissions if they get in the poll or not; you may submit your support for them if you want to see them:

Walter White/Mike Ehrmantraut (Breaking Bad) (keep in mind this one is mostly a joke)

Ms. Bitters/Countess von Verminstrassen (Invader Zim) (minor characters but I invented this one and I'm partial to it)

The Once-ler/The Lorax (Lorax 2012)

[gayelderstourney]

TBH i still need some promo for this </3 @who-do-i-know-this-man @retirement-home-rumble @emoboybattle @victimsofyaoipoll @look-how-they-massacred-them

[emoboybattle]

Did anyone submit any DnD submissions? There’s some crazy emo losers in the canon. Like surely someone submitted Strahd or something.

Strahd von zarovich and victor vallakovich were both submitted once!

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.
