Bracket 4 First place battle!

MIKEY versus LAVENDER

MIKEY

he was a siamese-tabby mix (assumed! submitter only knew his mother), and they got him when they were about 5 years old, and he was just a kitten. they got him alongside of his sister, and he was the quieter of the two, so submitter used to joke that she did all the talking for them both, even tho he started meowing himself when his sister died. he passed in 2020, after 17 long and peaceful years. he was submitter's baby for all of those, and theyve never met a cat that they loved more than him <3 sweet boy

PROPAGANDA

he was the most beautiful boy ever, please keep him in mind while voting!! plus he's already won one bracket (@michaeltournament!) so why not help him keep his winning streak going!!!!

submitter also linked a post made for when he won the tournament full of sweet pictures

LAVENDER

A very soft black cat with big yellow eyes and knife sharp claws, who couldn't kill a fly if she tried (she's tried. it was cute to watch, but it got away) but can and will knead your skin until it bleeds! Also she carries her worm on a string toy (the clear string was cut off for safety) in her mouth like either her baby or her prey (submitter can't tell!) when she wants to play. She is loud. and keeps submitter sane enough to function.

PROPAGANDA

^seeing her first outdoor fire! she'll be an arsonist one day <3

^and she's an adventurer! a peaceful one tho! no mice will die by her claws because she waits too long to attack...

^she had some surgery, but she's all better now!

she gently swatted at him after this photo, but neptune the lovebird just flew away unscathed.

and last but not least, one of the first good photos i took of her on my rusty old iPad with her eyes dilated more than i had ever got on camera. its a special photo to me, and she's a very special cat to me. after all of this propaganda, please vote lavender!!

No Mike Wazowski, Michael Afton, or Michael Coglione (the godfather)

My guy you could do a whole season two with all these rejected Michaels.

This is the season two, actually. And Michael Afton was in the first round!

[morally-grey-girlbosses]

Welcome to the Morally Ambigious Girlboss Tournament!

Have you ever thought "damn, she's a little evil but that's okay"? Has your fave girlie committed warcrimes, perhaps atrocities, perhaps a few murders? Do you need her freed because she only did some of that? Then this may be the tournament for you!

Submission Rules:

Submissions are open until July 29th, though I reserve the right to close them off early if I somehow get flooded with submissions.

PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT THE SAME CHARACTER MULTIPLE TIMES. You are free to make as many submissions of different characters as you want.

The first serious submission I receive will become the avatar for the blog.

No characters from Harry Potter. If anyone raises concerns about other potentially problematic media, we will hold a vote as to whether it should be allowed.

No characters from real life, or fictionalized/exaggerated versions of real-life people (DSMP characters, youtuber egos etc.) unless its REALLY funny.

No more than two characters from any given work are allowed in the final bracket. If more than two characters are submitted, we will hold a play-in poll to determine which two will enter the main bracket.

Girlbossing is a vibe, not a gender specification. I will probably not be allowing any cis men to enter, but I won't be restricting it to only women, either. If there's any doubt as to whether a character counts as a girlboss, we will hold a qualifier poll.

I will try to include as many submissions as I can! However, in case I somehow get absolutely flooded with submissions, I am capping it at 256 girlbosses.

Because of my personal biases and love for them, Gertrude Robinson (The Magnus Archives) and Anne (Woe.Begone) are submitted automatically.

Tournament Rules:

This will be a double elimination/loser's bracket style tournament, in order to minimize any hurt feelings from people's faves being eliminated immediately.

I will try to reblog any and all positive propaganda, and post any and all positive propaganda asks, but I will NOT be giving attention to any propaganda against a character.

Please remain civil. This is a fun tournament for some slightly evil girlbosses to battle it out. Anyone who starts giving anyone else hate over this will be blocked.

I reserve the right to change or add to these rules as I remember any that I forgot.

Submissions below!

Morally Ambiguous Girlboss Submissions

Submit your girlbosses below!! You may submit multiple girlbosses, but please do not submit the same girlboss multiple times.

Welcome to the Chosen One competition!

Is your blorbo fated by some ancient prophecy to save the world? Do they struggle under the weight of their destiny? Is your blorbo... the Chosen One? This is the place for all your favorite (or least favorite) chosen ones to compete against each other! Some guidelines for the tournament:

They have to be explicitly referred to in the source material as a chosen one.

No Harry Potter submissions, please.

I don't think there are any real people who count? But if you can find one, feel free to submit.

Submit as many different characters as you want, but don't spam the same character.

Submission will be open for a few weeks, depending on how many get submitted.
