Somebody's probably had this idea before, but Tumblr is an unsearchable website so we're doin it again baby.

GEMSTONE NAME TOURNAMENT — FOR CHARACTERS NAMED AFTER GEMSTONES

Submissions are closed.

Polls last a day (until the quarter-finals onwards (maybe?), which'll last a week), and will be posted sporadically, though I'll try and get a minimum of ~4 out everyday.

(Disclaimer: I don't really know what I'm doing; this is my first time running a bracket like this.)

(my non-answer on a limit of characters per media)

Lies, Saphira Supremacy.

I'm sorry, Saphira is more beautiful than any gem! She sparkles so much more, she is Sheepbiter, and she breathes fire.

(ignore that the vs thing is back)

Ruby (Battle for Dream Island)

Ruby (Disco Elysium)

Voting ended onOct 14, 2023

PROPAGANDA:

Ruby (BFDI): Everything she says sticks in my mind forever.

Ruby (Disco Elysium):

- She's a lesbian trucker who hates cops and used to work for an organized crime syndicate.

- She had a romantic/sexual relationship with an industrial spy who's on the run from her past.

- She's talented with radio technology, using it to tap into police frequencies. She also rigged up her radio into an (oversimplifying) incredibly painful sonic self-defense weapon.

- She changes her hair colour frequently, it's red during the course of the game but we're told she's had it both blue and purple in the past.

- She reads pulp horror novels

- If the player asks her "Are you a girl-liker?" She replies "What the hell, man?! Yeah, why not? I've gotten worse."

- She canonically gets mad bitches

- I love her <3 and I am so sad that there's no propaganda for her so I made some.

GARNET (STEVEN UNIVERSE) VS OLIVINE (NU: CARNIVAL)

nu vs su...

Who do you like more?

Garnet (Steven Universe)

Olivine (NU: Carnival)

Voting ended onOct 14, 2023

PROPAGANDA:

Garnet: she invented lesbianism and she's literally composed of two other gemstones (ruby and sapphire) 🌈

Olivine:

the premise of the game is that the protagonist gets isekai'd because he got handed a special gemstone necklace, and then finds out that in this new world he has a 'gemstone clan' where each member has a gemstone embedded in their body. NuCa has been described as Steven Universe for adults and that's honestly more accurate than you'd expect.

Olivine, as a gemstone clan member, has a peridot in his belly button. for a few months I wondered why he was named after a gemstone but not the gemstone he has until I learned that peridot is a variety of olivine, so there you go, he's indirectly named after his gemstone. he's a priest with an arc about his religious trauma that is much more compelling and well written than I ever expected from a BL porn game. I'm obsessed with him

Emerald Sustrai: I love her so much. She has done nothing wrong ever in her life. Just look at her big ol eyes. She deserves the entire world.

[miku-figures-tournament]

Welcome to the Miku figures Tournament!!

Together we shall decide which Miku figure is the best of them all!

Rules:

-The figure must be of Hatsune Miku (duh)

-I can make an exception for non Miku figures if they are cosplaying as Miku (ex. this toro inoue miku figure or Hello Kitty x Miku figure/keychain)

-For simplicity sake, all variations of the same figure will compete as one.

now that the rules are out of the way...
