[grandma-battle]

i honestly should have seen this coming, but rn i’m thinking of possibly canceling the grandma battle :(

social media isn’t good for me, especially with my depression, each day i wanna delete tumblr more and more but starting this battle has been the reason i’ve kept tumblr for now..

i’m gonna delete tumblr, but to be honest i’ll probably be back sometime soon, so for now i’ll just say that the grandma battle has been postponed.

thank you everyone for all the support!! <333

[grandma-battle]

hey y'all just wanted to let you know that, while i'll be trying my best to update and stick to schedule, finals work has come a lot sooner than i thought it would & my mentally ill ass ain't dealing with it well lol i probably should have started this bracket fight over the summer but oh well,,,

Ida Manson | @the-fenton-anticreep-stick

where else are you gonna get a grandma who fakes being senile to let her granddaughter sneak out and then dresses up as her to pretend to be her to throw off said granddaughter’s parents

Queen Clarisse | @homosandhomies

Clarisse was from a noble family and was put in an arranged marriage to King Rupert. She wasn’t in love with him but she knew it was her duty to become a great queen. They had a son, Philippe, who married a regular woman and had a baby named Mia. Problem was, Clarisse wanted Philippe to prioritize his country so he divorced his wife and became the next ruler. 16 years later she tells Mia the whole sitch and shenanigans ensue. She apologizes for keeping Mia in the dark but also teaches her to be a princess (and eventual queen) and becomes an amazing grandma. Mia doesn’t wanna be in an arranged marriage but still wants to be queen, and Clarisse supports her and then marries the love of her life Joe!!!!!!!! ✨ it’s growth ✨ Also she’s played by Dame Julie Andrews which is an automatic win.

Grandma Dowdel | @tortellinityedye

She is a badass grandma that commits crimes and then insults the sheriff until she walks free. She can bake and she uses her baked goods as leverage to get things done around town. She has a worst enemy who might also be her best friend. She works hard and for all she says she likes to keep herself to herself she takes good care of her neighbors. I read these books when I need to smile

Grandma | @scribe-of-planes

(there was a list of screenshots of the movie summary, but i'm not going to write all that out lol) Basically; girlboss.

[grandma-battle]

Erina Pendleton from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure VS Grandmama Addams from The Addams Family !!

Erina Pendleton (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure) ✧.*

Grandmama Addams (The Addams Family) ✧.*

Voting ended onMay 18, 2023

propaganda below !!

Erina Pendleton | @dominijoyce

She's cool she's swag! She has progressive values [at least from the perspective of a white high-class woman born in 19th century], is loving, is an English teacher and those are also swag. She can be stubborn and put her leg down while still showing respect but is not some naive lady and has sass, she is just amazing and underrated!

Grandmama Addams | @eviltothecore13

Grandmama Addams is a witchcraft practitioner and fortune-teller. According to the recent Netflix series she travelled around Europe in her younger years "swindling the rich and notorious". She wrestles alligators for fun. She possibly killed an ex-husband with an axe. She smokes weed and is also a dealer (weed, peyote, possibly other drugs), she's the only Addams to have canonically said "shit", and she's also been implied to have quite the sex life though I'd rather not think too much about it. She definitely has the most extensive and impressive criminal record of any of the Addamses, though as of the Netflix show Fester might be catching up (he comes across as marginally less outright deadly...but then again, both Fester and Grandmama are canonically heavily implied to eat people at least occasionally. Grandmama's been shown cross-referencing anatomy books with cookbooks.) And she has some of the funniest snarky dialogue in the 60s show as well, though her appearances in other versions tend to be more minor.

Karin's Grandmother | @xastr0x

Shes just a sweet, open-minded old lady! Who used to be a kleptomaniac! Which was destroying the family but dw about that because Karin became a magical girl and fixed it with her wish! She's very supportive of Karin's interests and is a big fan of manga.

Peak grandma energy when she's taking care of her granddaughter, Hazel.

Sophie Hatter | @kyriad-iel & @lord-of-pterodactyls

A very energic granny, but a granny!

Pinako Rockbell | @spidermanifested & anonymous

little old lady who lives with her dog out in the countryside... and also a genius surgeon and mechanic who raised 2 successive generations to follow in her footsteps. was known in her youth as "the pantheress of resembool", striking fear into the hearts of men. her best friend was like 500 years old and hadnt aged a day since they met 50 years ago but that was none of her business and so she simply never gave a shit. made a prosthetic leg for her dog. yells at cops. outlived the aforementioned 500 year old friend. will live forever probably. somehow lost to a dog that wasnt even hers in the fma character poll and we need to avenge her

she's Winry's grandmother and is an automail engineer (and apparently a surgeon too?!)

Granny | @pityboy

- chose to live on Magic Mountain That Tries to Kill You (In Order to Stimulate Personal Growth) - only other resident of the mountain is an actual ghost - the first conversation in the game is her making fun of the protagonist for almost dying on said mountain - becomes a mentor figure - has a cool bird (also a mentor figure) - gamer chair

Abuela Claudia | @truezero

She has one of the best songs in the show (Paciencia Y Fe), She wins 96,000 dollars in the lottery and immediately splits it to give to her grandkids, she’s the matriarch of the entire Barrio and takes care of everyone, and her life and death is literally a main driving force for the plot of the musical, especially the second act. I love her and I want more people to know about her

[grandma-battle]

Gran | @doomedtobeloved

(The Trouble with Gran is that she's an alien, actually and that she gets her family in all kind of trouble because she's a bit... showy, let's say ?) Anyway, she eventually saves the day. Also, she's an alien !! Who wouldn't want a cool mischievous alien grandma ?

Granny | @phoenixdellaverita

Because. Look at her!

Bridgette McGuire | @doomedtobeloved

She's funny, she's (worryingly) competent, she loves her himbo of a grandson (Duncan's the main character) and she can defend herself. She's amazing, really.

Evelyn | @porcelaincloud

She's the epitome of a kind old lady. She has an actual grandson who lives with her and her husband; She also is basically the town's grandma. She sends your character cookies in the mail and if you befriend her enough she teaches you to make them. She tends to all the flowers in the town because she just loves flowers so much. She is the archetypal Grandma and I love her.

Grandmother | @doomedtobeloved

I love her. I love her as much as the narrator (her 7 y/o grandson). She impersonates the chief of the police on the phone at some point. She looks after the narrator because his parents are dead and she takes good care of him. The end of the book is heartbreaking.
