Submissions closed! Looking throught them to start forming a bracket soon. [Icon: blue text on a white background. It reads: 'Martin Matchup' in bolded italics caps.] [Header: dark blue text handdrawn in MSPaint. It reads: 'Martin Matchup (in all caps) / (very definitely official).]
Hi, hello, and welcome to the Martin Matchup, where you will decide which Martin deserves to win and become the Ultimate Martin.
The Martin Matchup is currently: Processing submissions!
Rules:
Nasty people go away. Terfs, proship and standard dni criteria fitters are not allowed here.
You can submit several characters, even from the same source, but please don't submit one character several times/spam.
Variations on the name Martin are welcome!
No: real people (unless it's really funny), DSMP/Harry Potter/Attack on Titan/vivziepop/South Park/other shitty source characters. Also no Homestuck.
Propaganda is welcome! Feel free to tag me/send an ask/submit a post. I do ask that you provide descriptions (image/video/audio) for these either yourself, or ask me for help.
Martin Blackwood from The Magnus Archives will automatically be included. He was the reason I created this in the first place and I'm the mod so I can do what I want! This doesn't mean you shouldn't submit him though as I still need good reasons he should win other than mine :'-)
Hi! I'm in need of an image for Marty from Image Fashion Designer. I can't seem to find anything on Google, so please DM me or send an ask with a picture if you have one! Thank you ❤️
Hello everyone! Please take a look at the finished bracket!
[Image ID: The first image is the first half of the bracket. The bracket itself is on a dark grey bg, drawn in white lines. There are 24 contestants on this side, 48 all together. In the middle is drawn a winners pedestal with the first three places. On the highest step, for the first place there is a golden trophy that says "best martin" on it in blue letters. There is confetti around the trophy.
The second image is the second half. It it styled the same, with 24 contestants on this side as well. End ID.]
The polls will each last a week and will be posted with a one day difference for each half (as in, the first twelve polls will go up, and then a day after, the next 12 and so on) until the final.

Hi, hello, and welcome to the Martin Matchup, where you will decide which Martin deserves to win and become the Ultimate Martin.

Hey! Just wanted to remind everyone submissions are still open! Right now I have roughly 40 different contestants out of the 48 I'm aiming for, so submissions will be open until I hit that number and for 2 weeks after that, in case of some late entries. Thank you to everyone who's already submitted and may the best Martin win!
Friends and enemies, pineapples and mathematicians, welcome to the Iconic Names Tournament!
Only submit ONE name. You’re free to submit others separately.
Celebrity names are allowed, pets are not (make a really good case and you ma
We all have knee jerk reactions when we hear certain names, whether they’re good or bad reactions. This is your chance to give your favorite (or least favorite?) names some recognition. Come be a linguistics or history nerd! Tell us all about your name or your favorite character’s name and how it came to be!
This bracket will hopefully consist of 80 names in the end, some real people, some fictional characters, some just plain old names.
Submissions will close on June 2nd. Go nuts!
The rules
Celebrities’ names are allowed, names of your pets are not. ONE pet exception will be made if a very good case is made for it.
Submit as many names as you like SEPARATELY. The more submissions there are for a name, the better, but don’t spam submit one name in the hopes of it getting in.
This bracket is about the names, not the characters! Please don’t submit your favorite character ever just because they’re your favorite.
No religious figures from any religion (e.g. Jesus Christ), MCYT characters/real life counterparts, Harry Potter characters, or particularly heinous historical figures.
Propaganda for a name is welcome through asks, reblogs, or blog submissions.
We reserve the right to refuse a submission.
Disparaging cultural names/names from media you dislike will get you blocked. It’s rude, it can be racist and xenophobic, don’t do it.
Names that are automatically included
Whether for their fame status, popularity status, or recognizability.
John Smith (not from Pocahontas, just the common name)
This battle is here to determine who the best character named James is! Rules are listed below the link.
Welcome to the James fight submission form! Here’s some rules for submissions.
1. Real people ARE acceptable, but they have a much, MUCH lo
1. Real people ARE acceptable, but they have a much, MUCH lower chance of getting in over a fictional character.
2. Any form of James is acceptable, such as Jimmy or Jay. If you know of any other forms of James, then send an ask.
3. Nothing from Harry Potter or MCYT.
4. Submit as many characters as you want, but don’t submit the same character multiple times in a row.
5. Submissions will end May 17th, at 6:30 PM EST.
6. If you have any questions, send me an ask!
Note: Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman and James from Wii Sports make it into the tournament automatically. Do not submit them as they are already gonna get in.
and also @blue-character-brawl and @facial-hair-fight because i’m them!!! this is my next poll venture! i’m very excited about it and i’m gonna have a lot of fun with this one
I would like to list my nominations for the Martin Bracket!
Martin Blackwood (I must)
Marty McFly
Marty the Zebra
Martin Kratt (Yes he's a real person, but he's also an animated character, so I'm nominating him anyway.)
Hi! If you're just listing characters you've already submitted: great, thank you for submitting! If not, please refer to the Google Form (linked in the pinned post) and submit through there. I do not accept ask box submissions as it's much harder to organize them than Google Form entries.
Currently Martin Blackwood from The Magnus Archives, Marty McFly from Back to the Future, Martin Prince from the Simpsons and Martyn inthelittlewoods are tied with 2 submissions each!
