They may be stupid...

HELLO LADIES GENTS AND EVERYONE IN BETWEEN!! WELCOME TO THE TUMBLR COMPETITION OF THE BEST HIMBO/THEMBO!!! Person running this is @noonbeam17 and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tag me in propaganda art, I'd love to see what comes from my silly deeds :]

[himbothemboswagger]

SEMIFINALS !?!?!??!? WOWIE !!!!!!!

We had several sweeps and several close calls! Now that we're down to the final four, it's time to start placing your bets! Will the small but passionate Kiwi fanbase pull through? Or our Kronk fans with traditional values? I hadn't even heard of Dungeon Meshi before this tournament, but people sure are crazy insane over Laios! And Knuckles is there!

In these desperate times, would you like to submit more propaganda?

Nomination Notes Submission Form

I will be choosing 3 different notes to show every round!!

[himbothemboswagger]

I'm baffled as to why Zuke is in this competition because not only is he not buff, his entire character is centered around being thoughtful and logical compared to Mayday. That head is all thoughts.

"Well, I don't know, how come your hair is yellow!?"

[himbothemboswagger]

ROUND THREE (REPOSTED MATCH)

Kronk (The Emperor's New Groove) VS K_K (Deltarune)

Kronk

K_K

Voting ended onSep 11, 2023

Why should you vote Kronk?

"What is there even to say. The ultimate himbo yet simultaneously a genius subversion of the trope. I think tumblr would appreciate the nuance. He bakes, he's kind, he loves animals, he's a boy scout, he's almost as queer-coded as the main character of his franchise. If anyone deserves the title of Best Himbo/Thembo it's surely him"

"His voice is amazing and he is so buff and stupid"

"“Dear Papi, remember how you never thought I’d amount to anything?” – Kronk, writing about getting into the Quarterfinals."

Why should you vote K_K?

"Honestly the best person in Deltarune"

"silly goober no braincells"

"He is so bbg <3 also his tits are OUT and we love him for it"

[himbothemboswagger]

FUCK I just realized I made the Kronk VS K_K poll a day long instead of a week long </3 We're redoing that shit

[himbothemboswagger]

ROUND THREE

Clay (WOF) VS Laios Touden (Dungeon Meshi

Clay

Laios

Voting ended onSep 10, 2023

Why should you vote Clay?

"This man is so very himbo. Honestly all mudwings give off himbo vibes, but like clay especially. He’s such a sweetheart I love him 🩷"

"shoutout to clay, ceo of best older brother ever"

"he is the definition of himbo he’s buff and stupid"

Why should you vote Laios?

"The dudes so nice but everyone (in story) judges him way too cuz hes bad at picking up social cues and has monsters as a special interest. Multiple times where hes just trying to be friends with people but they get angry at him cuz he can’t pick up their not interested even though they never actually tell him explicitly. He is my boi and its very unfair. No way this guy is neurotypical. It takes until the last 20 chapters when the world is literally ending because of the demon controlling the dungeon for him to finally conclude “maybe the dungeon is actually bad”. He just wants to become a cool monster and live in peace but eldritch horror and political maneuvering keep on getting in the way. A bunch of dudes literally try kill him but he’s just chill with them cuz hes cool like that."

"HE HAS A FRYING PAN"

"Laios is one of the clearest examples of a himbo there is. He's big. He's strong. He's got a heart of gold. He can also be very silly and a little stupid. It took him until the very last arc of his manga to realise that the main antagonist is probably not that great because the said antagonist bribed him with cool monsters. One time his strategy for dealing with a monster was to get down and bark at it. It worked. Need I say any more? Vote for this shining example of a himbo and get a complimentary thirty minute infodump on monster anatomy today!"

"Kiwi DESERVES this win, they’ve been canonically proven to show the utmost amounts of acceptance and having a WHOLE LOT OF DANCING, HOW can you beat that?! GIVE THIS BARD A W!!!!!"

"HES SO CUTE I LOVE HIM DEARLY MY BABY MAN LESS GOOO!! He is really nice, considerate, loves to collect random objects, and staged a coup against an evil, corrupt ai overlord. Preeetty fucking awesome methinks."

I'm not on my computer right now so I can't do the updated bracket yet. And now that I think about it I'm gonna have to make the round 2 results post on the weekend because I have something for the next weeks that takes up all my free time that I have available to spend on my main PC. So the round 2 results will be just a teensy weensy tiny little bit late </3

Yall can already see the results but I'm still dropping out vague hints because I'm silly like that. Anyway I thought you guys liked Burger Chainz </3

"Watch the movie. It’s by far, in my opinion, the best Pixar movie ever made. Literally the only movie that made me cry tears of joy. That’s saying something. I didn’t cry while watching titanic, so yeah, watch the movie. It’s good."
