Who’s adopting you?

[fictional-singer-competition]

Submissions needed!

Do you perhaps like music projects? Idol games? Musicals? Or even...not-really-music-project media with LOTS OF SONGS SUNG BY THE CAST??? Then THIS is the bracket for you! (P.S. i have no idea if someone made this idea yet)

Welcome to THE fictional singer competition! Where we determine the top fictional singer!

Make sure to spread the word to your minions !!!!!

Rules

Please make sure that they have a canon voice, and that they've sung at least once!

Of course, almost any media is allowed! Animanga, game, musical, cartoon...and more! Let your imagination run wild<3 However, I unfortunately don't allow ocs!

Any character with 5 or more submissions will automatically get in! But it depends on how much submissions there will be, or if other characters in the franchise already got in! If I feel lucky, I'd be willing to do a 128 character bracket or even more! Feel free to ask me more about this rule in my asks, my english isn't englishing right now,,,

Maximum of 3 characters per franchise. As much as possible, I'd like to give other franchises a biiiig chance!

You can submit as much as you'd like, just don't spam the same character over and over again! You don't want your awesome cool singer to get disqualified, no?

It's called FICTIONAL singer competition for a reason! Please avoid submitting real life singers!

Sorry I have bad english)

With that out of the way, SUBMISSIONS ARE OPEN UNTIL MAY 17!

Propaganda under the cut

The girl (fear and hunger) Propaganda

She's just a little girl. She's just making her way througha. Dungeon with her mom, dad, dad, dad, other dad, and dog. And dealing with the horrors.

Hunter (The Owl House) Propaganda

ILL BE THE HUNTER PROPAGANDA

do you understand what a bad childhood this poor guy has had??? he is *going through it*. When we meet him his only living family is his evil uncle (nobody knows that is his uncle they just assume he Appeared), and he then proceeds to be so publically concerning that the only adults looking out for him is this guy who’s implied to be in love with Hunter’s dead doppelgänger/predecessor + his best friend’s mom. When he finds out the secret of his birth his uncle literally attempts to kill him + he has to run and hide. Please adopt this feral child + home him, he deserves it!!

[fictionaladoptionpolls]

I'm sorry, Hunter, but no one is actively trying to use you as a human sacrifice.

[ultimate-character-design]

The Ultimate Character Design Tournament

Do you have a character where you think their design is absolutely peak? Or maybe the design is just really nice or pleasing to look at?

Well, why don't you see what the public thinks of them, and submit them into the Ultimate Character Design of All Time Tournament!

This tournament accepts characters from any franchise, popular or not, and even your own OCs (if you're daring enough to put them through this tournament!)

Submissions will be open until 4/28!

Access Google Forms with a personal Google account or Google Workspace account (for business use).

Only rules are:

No nudity or gore allowed in the submitted image.

Please vote for characters based on their design, not just if you happen to like the character more or not

You can submit as many characters as you like! But if I notice someone spam submitting the same character, I'm banning the character from the tournament

The form is completely anonymous. It will have you log in, but only so you can upload a file.

@tournament-announcer (uhh idk who else to @, reblog if you want)

[lastoneout]

Okay, honest question, who is Yotsuba?

OH HO HO ANON I AM ALL TOO HAPPY TO EXPLAIN :3

Yotsuba is a character from the greatest manga ever made, Yotsuba&!(or Yotsuba to! it translates weird, most fans just call it Yotsuba) which is a comedy slice-of-life manga about Yotsuba Koiwai, a five year old girl, and her very strange yet wholesome family and friends!

It's from the same mangaka who gave us Azumanga Daioh, though while that manga is told in a four-panel comic style and doesn't really have much of an overarching plot, Youtsuba is done in a traditional manga style and despite also being very episodic there is a bit of a throughline surrounding Youtsuba getting settled into the neighborhood she just moved to, growing up, and eventually, in the later chapters, getting ready to go to school for the first time. Also, there are storylines that take place over multiple chapters as well! Despite the fact that the manga has been releasing since 2003, the chapters are pretty sporadic and the comic has only really covered about one year of the character's lives, but it never really feels slow or aimless. It feels almost...timeless? I guess. It's really nice.

Anyway, the manga is legit one of the most wholesome, funny, heartwarming things I have ever read. Kiyohiko Azuma is a fucking MASTER of comedy(you may have seen screencaps from a Sailor Moon fan comic he made going around on tumblr in which Jupiter accidentally sends Venus shooting across a pool that made me laugh so hard I cried) and he balances it well with lots of slow moments with GORGEOUS artwork where you can really take in the scenery and all of it is seeped in a wonderful nostalgia for childhood that legit makes me super emotional.

I don't think the manga has ever really taken off in terms of popularity, at least not to the degree that it deserves imo, which is likely in part due to the creator being firm about it never getting an anime adaptation and the sporadic release schedule, but it's far from unknown. There's been an official(I think??) score released and plenty of figurines and merch. It's also birthed a lot of memes, and it def has the same issue as One Piece where if you read it and love it you will turn into a walking billboard and try to drag your friends and family in with you. It's just THAT good!

You may have seen art of or people cosplaying Danbo, a "robot" made of old cardboard boxes that Yotsuba adores (Totally a real robot btw, def doesn't have a middle schooler shoved inside there, that would be silly wdym /s)

And this pose from the back of one of the manga volumes featuring Yotsuba, her father, and their extremely tall friend Jumbo has been redrawn with other characters like 500000 billion times

And you've also probably seen this going around tumblr before (that's Fūka she's my favorite cringe fail daughter I would literally die for her).

Also, I would be doing a disservice if I didn't mention Yanda, who is a friend of Yotsuba's dad and also Yotsuba's nemesis. He's a loser who constantly gets dunked on by a toddler it's fucking hilarious.

But yeah it really is just like, a manga that feels like a hug, or a warm blanket or something, it's so comforting and funny and fantastic, I find myself re-reading it any time life gets to be too hard just bcs it's that good at distracting me and reminding me that live is worth living.

And also given that it's literally my favorite manga, I saved up a bunch of screencaps to use as reaction images after a read one time, and thus now it's my own little joke that if you send me anon hate I'm just gonna send you back a picture of this cutie

Bcs come on how can you be angry when you're looking at this???

Anyway here's some screencaps of the main supporting cast bcs I love all of them so much <3

YOU WILL READ YOTSUBA I AM NO LONGER ASKING

[tigirl-and-co]

OP YOU DIDN'T EVEN MENTION THE AIR CONDITIONING SUBPLOT OR THAT HER TEDDY BEAR IS NAMED AFTER AN ALUMINUM ALLOY

[lastoneout]

YOU'RE SO RIGHT AND I FEEL SO STUPID BCS I LEGIT NAMED MY POKEMON DURALUMIN AFTER HER BEAR

(However the air conditioning sub plot is a joke far too funny for me to spoil, people gotta read it themselves for that bit.)

[evil-jennifer-hamilton-wb]

Oh my god I loved this manga so much as a kid but I only read it while at the public library so I couldn't read it past like 11yrs old when I moved to a place without good libraries and I lost it. Thank you op I have reconnected with my childhood.

Propaganda under the cut!

Fukuzawa Yukichi:

1. “At about 32 he used to be an bodyguard for hire who only works alone then he met this 14 year old (Ranpo) who had no parents and was kicked out of the police academy. He ended up feeding him (I think Ranpo was homeless at this point not 100% sure tho. He is also a genius estimated iq as high as 200) and said he would help him free of charge (bodyguard) if he called. He ended up getting called and investigated something with him. Ranpo saw the world very plainly and cried to Fukuzawa about how scary it is. Fukuzawa helped Ranpo realize that not everyone is pretending not to know things they literally don't know what he does (big issue with Ranpo partly what he was crying about too i think. They have an entire episode (i think it's the first one in the 4th season) devoted to their backstory together which is black, white, and gray when it's from Ranpo's perspective until Fukuzawa helps him realize this and it turns colored. Fukuzawa ends up deciding he wants to create a detective agency (working with others!) with Ranpo not yet tho we still have one more kid first. Later when Fukuzawa's doing a bodyguard job he along with Ranpo end up rescuing a girl (Yosano!) from the man he was guarding (future mafia boss currently a doctor). Yosano ends up becoming a doctor for the detective agency when it's created. After it's created he ends up taking in another 14 year old (Kenji).

He also loves cats and has shoujo anime-esque cherry blossom flashbacks with his old childhood friend who asked him if he wanted to go to fight in war with him, Fukuzawa denied his request. They also have a like 15 min soft-lighting conversation while watching their memories of their childhood together in the latest ep.”

2. “This man literally created a whole detective agency for this one really smart boy (Ranpo) and taught him that he wasn't the one in the wrong but everyone else when he couldn't understand people. Then, he saves Yosano from the trauma this other guy was inflicting on her and brings her to the Agency. The Agency basically becomes the place where all his kids are. His special ability lets those in the Agency control their abilities so Atsushi and Kyouka don't have to be afraid of their out of control abilities anymore. He cares so much for all of them and during the Cannibalism arc when his life is literally on the line, they do everything in their power to save him.”

3. “My guy just CANNOT stop adopting kids. He went from lone wolf assassin to Dad of Many. His first (adopted) child, Ranpo, basically forced him to adopt him (he was like “I’m a teenager with no family or home. You GOTTA adopt me. Because I say so.”) From there he kept accidentally adopting every orphan he came across. Honestly the detective agency is more like a glorified orphanage except they let their kids carry guns.”

4. “A former Goverment assassin who stopped once he realized he was starting to enjoy killing people, Fukuzawa is looking for a job when he bumps into Ranpo, a genius capable of figuring out any mystery, who can’t understand how the world works. Taking Ranpo under his wing Fukuzawa tries a white lie that Ranpo has a special ability and manages to let Ranpo interact with the world without fear for the first time in years since he can know understand the problem wasn’t everyone acting like they couldn’t figure out things but that no one was as smart as him. They found the Armed Detective Agency specifically to use Ranpo’s abilities to help people and to have jobs.

He then saves Yosano from Mori, his ex something who after using her special ability to heal any injury as long as the person is about to die during the War, wanted to use it take control of their local mafia. Instead Fukuzawa and Ranpo rescue her and let her recover from her trauma and come into herself.

He then goes on to provide a place for Kunikida to fulfill his ideals, Dazai a place to do good after his own past in the mafia, Kenji a place to help people, Tanizaki and Naomi (siblings that don’t seem to have any guardians) work to support them, and Atsushi a place to work on his own trauma by protecting people. Fukuzawa later let’s Kyouka, another defection from the mafia, stay and work at the agency so she can help people and not have to kill them anymore. The entire Armed Detective Agency live in dorms that Fukuzawa provided. He also is very protective, putting everything on the line to help members of the Agency escape any danger he knows of. Like when Atsushi is kidnapped he bribes Ranpo to find him and sends Kunikida to rescue him. He sees any danger to the agency and its members as something for him to stop.”

Optimus Prime:

“#VOTE OPTIMUS HE'S THE DAD OF ALL TIME AND HAS ISSUES”

[its-to-the-death]

Please vote Fukuzawa. Just take a look at that picture. The Agency is a found family and Fukuzawa is their dad.

Welcome To The Fictional Orphan Smackdown!

You ever wanted to pit a bunch of people who've gone through terrible (or not terrible, depending on the circumstance) loss against each other to see who's the best? Well, now you can!

There is no proper basis for who the "best" orphan is in this specific poll. Is it based on who's written better? It is based on who you like more? It is based on who would win in a fight? That's up to you!

Before we get started, here are some basic rules on who is qualified as an orphan for this specific poll:

Both biological parents must be dead.

Surrogate/adoptive parents as well as parental figures may still be alive.

If adoptive parents are dead, that counts as an orphan.

If a character has unorthodox parentage (ex. made in a lab, created directly by a diety, ect) and the characters they consider parental figures are dead, that is an orphan.

If they have no confirmed parents, but are theorized to be an orphan, I would have to see the evidence for that theory and judge from there.

On some level, this character should probably be affected by being an orphan (not a requirement, but it will help your chances).

Of course, there will be edge cases and I'll try to judge everything case-by-case, so even if you don't think a character qualifies, submit them anyway! I can't garuntee they get in, but the worst thing I can do is not put them in the bracket :)

Tournament size will be determined by how many submissions I get.

Reblog to help me spread this bracket around! Also here's the obligatory exposure tags:

This feels extremely relevant

[joan-deactivated20230204]

this scene really highlights one of the most impressive parts of yotsuba to me, which is how effectively its able to recreate for an adult audience the sense of wonder that very young children have towards the world, giving us a taste of just how strange and interesting seemingly normal things are to someone as young as yotsuba. the way the geese are quietly built up to through strange sound effects, and how the camera shows their approach in detail, how it lingers on yotsubas reaction and lets us take in just how new and exciting this is to her, before hitting us with a double page spread of that same thing on an overwhelming scale... its masterful
