Hi, everyone. Sorry for not posting in... forever. I've gone through a lot in the past year emotionally + school, and never got the chance to continue this. And, no, I'm not up to sharing what I've been going through.
I don't know if I'll ever have the time again to continue doing this. I'm not sure it would even be fun for me if I forced it back into what I've been doing, which is the whole point of me making this poll-fight-thingamajig in the first place.
Thanks to everyone who participated in the first two rounds, thank you for enjoying this silly thing I tried to do.
Hi! I'm M, and I plan on making multiple tournaments on this blog, this being the first of (hopefully) many.
I've always thought that characters that seem so incredibly different, maybe even seeming to be each other's antithesis, yet have a common thread that makes them two sides of the same coin. Maybe they have similar childhoods, traumas, motivations- yet their personalities and the way they act and the ways they chose to live their lives are so distinct. It's always fun to see.
Share with me your favorite duos that fit this description and let's make a tournament out of it! I'm going to allow 64 duos max and I'm going to require a minimum of 3 submissions. I'll close it off before I get more than 64. If I don't reach that amount of duos by next Friday, I'll shrink it down to 32 or lower the required amount of submissions.
(either romantic or platonic is fine) (they do not have to be enemies as long as they fit this trope) (I'm free to not include duos if they're from media I'm not comfortable with since I'm doing this for fun) (please don't submit the same duos multiple times)
Two Sides of the Same Coin

Do you know a piece of media that is deeply misogynistic and want to see it fight similar media?
Be it a book, tv show, movie, comic, or anything else, have you ever encountered something and been like, "Wow, the misogyny is really jumping out here"? Whether it's sidelining female characters and downplaying their abilities, objectification, sexualization, transmisogyny, misogynoir, fridging, gratuitous sexual violence, women walking boobily down the stairs, or anything else, sometimes the contents of a work are just dripping with misogyny and you're like, "No, stop it! Bad creator, bad! Treat your ladies better!"
And now is your opportunity to see these works fight each other! It's time to go to bat for the ladies who deserved better and decide what is the #1 work we should point to and go, "That. Don't do that. Like anything in that."
Submit the work you want to beat with a bat labeled "Respect Women" here! The form closes December 13, 2023 at 12am EST.
For media whose ladies deserved so much better than they got
NOTE: You can submit a work and add additional propaganda later when you have more time under the condition that you add "(repeat)" after the title of the work you're submitting.
You can view how many times a work has been submitted here.
NOTE: This is updated manually, not automatically, so there will be a time delay in updating the count.
EDIT: I previously forgot to actually open the form, but it is now open!
RULES:
The misogyny must be in canon, not fandom
Don't submit a single work multiple times, but please submit as many different works as you want!
(i could not come up with any other tourney name. sorry)
You know that trope? That one trope *Everyone* hates? The trope in which a well meaning antagonist to our heroes, one looking out for the good of a certain community, suddenly does something horrible and drastic to make not only them, but the ideology they stand for the most villainous of all?
and no, I’m not talking “well meaning” as in… they had a sad life. Their parents died or something. Etc.
I’m talking:
“This person wants change in a corrupt system.”
“This organization made up of a marginalized group only wants their basic living rights.”
“This person wants equality for their people.”
Etc etc etc. Only for it to drastically become:
“This person wants change in a corrupt system… so they BLOW UP AN ORPHANAGE OF GRANDMOTHERS.”
“This organization made up of a marginalized group only wants basic living rights… so THEY’RE ACTUALLY EVIL UNSYMPATHETIC TERRORISTS.”
“This person wants equality for their people… EXCEPT HAHAAA THEY DONT” That stuff. Stuff that makes you really question what the writers were really trying to get across.
But enough of that, let’s talk tournaments. With as much as this trope makes these villains blow up houses of grandmas and likely makes you, the viewer, want to blow up something too, you can now throw them at me and I’ll let them blow up each other!
Here are the rules.
No Harry Potter. Thank you!
Submit via the ask box and submission tab on this blog please. I sadly don’t have one of those google thingies :( I’m goofy
When sending in your finest challenger, give me propaganda too! Propaganda will be included once we’re ready to get the polls out.
Fictional peeps please.
You can submit up to 3 characters/groups of characters/whatever whatever in an ask/submission.
The following is a list of antagonistic fictional characters, or antagonistic fictional organizations/groups I am automatically putting in the poll:
Magneto, X Men
The White Fang, RWBY
The Flash Smashers, Marvel
and Amon, The Legend of Korra
But please please PLEASE send me propaganda for those four if you have some! Falls to my knees like a Victorian orphan boy…..
Anyways, I hope I explained the premise of this whole ~tournament~ correctly, or at least half decently. Hope this goes well, and may the worst troper win in the COPAGANDA CLOBBERFEST!
Inspired from @look-how-they-massacred-them, @battle-couple-battle, @controversial-blorbo-bracket, @greengirlfight, @ffshipbracket, @star-wars-tournament, @the-robot-bracket, @tmblrsfavshow, @bestanimatedmovie, and @fave-fight !!!!!!!
The Best Kirby Character Season 3 Submissions are Open!
Submit all your blorbos from the Kirby universe here! :D
You'll notice there are already 8 characters on the bracket, these characters are Taranza, Daroach, Bandana Dee, King Dedede, Shadow Kirby, Dark Meta Knight, Marx, and Magolor! There's no need to submit these characters since they're automatically in ^-^
Those of you who haven't been around for Season 1 or Season 2 may be confused about why Kirby and Meta Knight aren't here, and the answer is that Kirby won Season 1, and Meta Knight won Season 2, so they will be left out of Season 3 to give others a chance at winning!
Qualifications for submissions
The characters you submit must:
Be a Kirby character, no OCs allowed!
Show signs of sentience! (ex: While Whispy Woods is a tree, he has definitely shown signs of sentience and emotions! Therefore, you can submit Whispy Woods here!)
Not have already been denied entry from Season 1 and Season 2 (you can check if a character has been denied by looking in the #poll character: denied! tag!)
Be submitted using the google form found below! If you try to submit a character using the askbox, it will be ignored and deleted!
Rules for Submissions
Do not submit Kirby or Meta Knight, since Kirby won Season 1 and Meta Knight won Season 2!
Do not submit the characters already in the bracket (Taranza, Daroach, Bandana Dee, King Dedede, Shadow Kirby, Dark Meta Knight, Marx, and Magolor!)
You can submit multiple characters, but please don't submit the same character multiple times!
Characters from the anime, novels, and manga are allowed! However, manga, novel, and anime versions of already existing characters (specifically characters that we already have a large understanding of from the games, like Kirby, Marx, Magolor, Meta Knight, etc.) will not be allowed! Manga characters that play small roles in the games will be allowed!
Only a total of 64 characters will be allowed in the bracket, and 8 slots have already been filled, so only 56 characters will be making it onto the bracket!
Certain characters can be submitted together! (For example (but not limited to): Adeleine and Ribbon, Tiff and Tuff/Fumu and Bun, Lololo and Lalala, and the Mage Sisters!)
Kirby villains/monsters are allowed!
Even if a character has enough votes to qualify, they may be turned down from the tournament! The mod will make a public announcement for the character, and explain why.
And that's basically it! If you have any questions about the rules, qualifications, or about whether or not a certain character fits the requirements, feel free to ask! ^-^
You can submit a character here:
Submit your blorbos here! Keep in mind that Taranza, Daroach, Bandana Dee, Dedede, Shadow Kirby, Dark Meta Knight, Marx, and Magolor are alr
You can find a regularly updating (unless mod is asleep or busy) list of submitted characters (along with the amount of submissions they've received) here!
Need help remembering a character? You can check the Kirby Wiki or WiKirby!
The number of submissions needed for a character to be safely on the bracket will depend on the number of submissions this gets, but it'll be somewhere along the lines of 3-6 submissions!
Even if a character doesn't have enough submissions by the time it closes, they'll still have a chance to get in the bracket by winning their Preliminary Round Poll!
The Submission Form will be open until Monday, August 21st at 9pm EST or until this receives 350+ submissions!

Did your blorbo do something painfully, woefully, egregiously out of character? Submit it to this tournament and let the world know just how wronged they really were!
Looking for submissions!!! I want to be shocked and aghast at how much they would NOT say that. I mean, are you just going to let that bad writing slide?

Tagging some other cool tourneys for yall to check out in the meantime...
Time to see what orcs we like best here on Tumblr! Your pick whether that means the most badass, the most iconic, the most unique or just the ones you wish would come cuddle you!
SUBMISSION RULES:
- All kinds of media are fair play.
- You can choose one particular character or a group of orcs as a whole! If you choose a character, they will be presented as "X character representing Y orcs".
- The orcs must be referred to as orcs in the media! So no goblins, trolls, beast-men or the like. I will allow variations on spelling. Half-orcs are okay and The Uruk-Hai are also fair game.
(In case they use the terms interchangeably, just let me know and I'll decide on a case-to-case basis)
- If you have an artist that has done several orc drawings you enjoy but no overarching/published story to refer to, then that is fine! Just submit their name or username as the media and link to examples of their art.
- If your media has no art, I will allow fan art if it is your own or if you have permission from the artist!
Submit your favourite kind of orcs or orc characters and let them duke it out! For full rules, please check my pinned Tumblr post:
Any ques
I'm honestly not sure what other tournaments to tag and not sure what the etiquette regarding this is, but @obscurecharactershowdown @fave-fight @sharp-teeth-swag
Time to vote for the ultimate princess! This tournament will decide which princess truly takes the crown! Please be sure to read the rules before submitting. Submissions will close August 18th.
Propaganda is allowed as long as everyone is nice!!
Submission Rules:
-No real people!! Fictional characters only
-Doesn't really matter how the character became a princess as long as it's clear that they are royalty in some way (Some characters, such as Mulan, can bypass this rule. It will be judged on a case-by-case basis)
-You can submit multiple characters, but please don't spam the same character
-No problematic media (ex. Harry Potter)
-There won't be any characters guaranteed an entry, so be sure to submit your faves!

Kanade Yoisaki:
“She can't even leave the house without almost passing out, eats nothing but instant ramen, and sleeps about once a week”
“she is a wet rag of a girl but i think if she had enough rage she could topple anyone. plus anyone would feel bad about attacking her”
“She's gonna lose SO. BAD. Girlie pop CANONICALLY can't take a five minute walk without fucking disintegrating ohhhh my god no matter who she's put against she'll end up as a smear on the pavement... i love her.”
“Kanade should lose every fight. She has canonically fainted because she forgets to eat for too long, passes out on her desk instead of going to bed, hates the sunlight, she only eats instant noodles, and she gets winded after walking one block. She's from a rhythm game and they can't animate any songs that are too up-tempo with her in them because it's out of character for her to dance that energetically. She's so frail she looks like a breeze would blow her over.”
Cave Johnson:
“He would probably loose because it's a fistfight but he could definitely try his best”

“i love her”

(quick note because I see a pattern for Elon Musk polls- this is a round-robin tournament. Even if he loses, he will continue to be in the tournament.)

Voting ended onAug 12, 2023
Goose that is actually a swan:
“It held its own against a supervising and a hero with super-strength. It may not be the strongest, but it's intimidating enough that some of the weaker or less confident characters may back down on their own.”
“Saw someone else ask about this and thought it would be funny to see a Goose terrorize the competition”
Elon Musk:
“I just wanna watch him get beat up”
“I want to watch him lose every fight”
“Wouldn’t it be funny if everyone who went against him beat him?”
“He would get his ass beaten by anyone and everyone, including Conan Edogawa”
“I just want to see him get punched, repeatedly, by real and fictional people.”
