ok its 1:30 am (sleepin soon dw) but let it be known that i will be posting the submissions for another miserable guy theowdown soon

[blond-jerk-tourney]

Welcome to the Blond Jerk Tournament

Have you ever thought who is the JERKIEST and MOST LOVEABLE MEAN BLOND ASSHOLE?? Well then this is the tournament for you!

Rules:

Real people and HP characters are not allowed

mcyt allowed but you must defend in the submission form why the character is different from the person playing them, whether they qualify is up to Tourney Master's discretion

You can submit as many characters as you want as long as you submit each one only once

No characters who are nazis

This is more for jerks, dickheads, bitches, pricks, and assholes - generally mean or snarky people - than it is for just plain old evil villains. Bonus points if the character is rich/preppy also.

Not sure what the bracket will look like yet.  Tournament size depends on # of submissions, there might be prelims

Ask box open for questions & propaganda throughout the tourney. I'll also rb any propaganda posts. Anti-propaganda is allowed but no being mean

Yes, there are some tourney master picks who will automatically get in. But besides Arcangelo Corelli from Neo Yokio, I will not be revealing them unless i get peer pressured to

My Arcangelo header is just a placeholder. Most submitted character gets to be the new header image 

Submissions Close August 26th

does the fandom constantly claim your fave is "just misunderstood and need of protection? has it turned your blorbo into just a silly soft boy? are you tired of everyone forgetting they're actually very capable?

well, look no further. welcome to the war of the woobified, where characters reclaim their status as a badass

or whatever. anyways

welcome to the show! i'm your host, mod jelly, previously pollrunner of ungodly-amounts-of-godly-trauma. let me know if i should change the url i don't mind

rules:

gonna be loose with the definition of woobified here. it's up to you but you do have to justify it. if you don't tell me why or how theyve been woobified i'm probably not gonna put them in unless i need to fill up space

submit as many characters as you want. probably will not do a prelims unless necessary

uhh no problematic media or whatever

okay thats probably it ?? have fun be nice :)

characters can be submitted through asks, submissions, google form, or even uquiz

tagged some of my favorite poll blogs under the cut for exposure :)

Welcome To The Gaslight Gatekeep Girlboss Tournament!

They are abusive manipulators who lie and make someone question their own sanity? Check. They control acess to information/activity/community and decide who is worthy of receiving it by themselves? Check! They are self-made and determined to succeed? CHECK! So let's start the bloody massacre for the title of the most gaslightest, gatekeepest, girlbossest of all! Rules:

No real life combatants/their fictionalized versions. Unless it's really funny ("my mom"s/"that one girl in science class"s/"our president"s if done w/o malicious intent and for pure jest may have a separate lil' competition after the final round, but they should be sent via askbox with a mark #extra)

Girlbossing is a vague termin so you may submit almost anyone as long as they have vibe

Be nice to other people, it's just a silly little tournament, there is no reason to insult others for their preferences

One (1!) character per submission! Number of submissions isn't limited

Please don't spam the same character over and over

If I made some mistake in character's name/tag/pronounce/whatever just @ me in comments as I may not have time or attention to notice it in askbox in time.

Submissions close on September 1st or at 255 entries

Have fun!

[whosthatcharacter-bracket]

hi!!! welcome!!

i caved and made a poll bracket. similar to another bracket thats been cancelled (as far as i know) this bracket is for characters of all sorts -with a catch- no one will no who the characters are until theyre eliminated, masked singer style!!

I highly encourage the submissions of obscure characters, as they should thrive in this type of environment!! I just ask no real-life people and if a character is from a piece of media that makes me uncomfortable i have the right to refuse them entry to the tournament.

LITTLE FREAKS ARE HIGHLY ENCOURAGED ALSO!!

i think that about covers it, characters will be voted upon via motifs broad descriptions etc and when someone gets knocked out there will be the big reveal!!!

also i think the rounds will last a day until semifinals/finals whichll be a week!

i really hope yall have fun with this :)

“Who’s that Character?” Poll Submissions!!!!

hello!! submissions!!!!! wooo!!!! you dont have to follow the bracket or anything to submit a character, but i would recommend it if you wan

[emo-character-tournament]

Welcome to the Emo character tournament!

I have not seen one of these in a while so I decided to make one!

RULES:

When submitting just be respectful. If your character does not get picked (thats a joke they most likely will get picked bc I'm not expecting high level of submissions) anyways just vibe or smth.

No bullying others about who they want to win. I dont think this will happen bc Tumblr is chill.

Dont submit the same character multiple times yourself. Its very annoying if its spammed.

You can submit multiple different characters!! As many as possible if they're different

This is not to pick on emo's. I myself listen to the music and dress very similar

I'm using emo in the loosest terms here. Just gotta have "emo" clothes/hair and/or Teenage Angst (TM)

Emo character submission form!!

NO IRL PEOPLE

Thank you and let the games begin!! Plus check out my main blog

Submission close when I feel like there is enough :]

@pigeon-not-a-bot

[crossover-enemies-competition]

This is a competition for when there are two characters from different pieces of fiction who you know would hate each other if they met!

Submission form here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfo9DdgI77N1uKJYAyiXKi9gsznnbFZgiClM2-acGgO6teRmA/viewform?usp=sf_link

I’m also running @niche-character-competition so expect the releases of these polls to be timed to be between those ones.

Submissions will be open until the 6th of August.

Kaladin Stormblessed (The Stormlight Archives)

Voting ended onJun 28, 2023

[vins-paranoia]

Kaladin was enlisted into war when he was sixteen because his little brother got drafted, and he wanted to look after him. The said brother was soon after used as a bait during a battle, and Kaladin was unfortunately nearby, so he had the privilege of watching as his little brother bled to death. He dedicated years to training and improving his skills so he would never let something like that happen ever again. After some years, he put together a tight-knit squad. 2/3 of them got slaughtered by an enemy Sharbearer(a nearly invincible warrior), and the rest were murdered by his army's general right in front of him to cover up the general's fuck-up. Kaladin himself was branded as a slave and sent to another war front where he was forced to carry huge bridges with other slaves in front of the onslaught of arrows. And that's just the first book. He tries over and over and over again to save as many people as he can - civilians, crewmembers, his friends, only to watch helplessly as they are killed. And he constantly blames himself for it. He holds himself to impossibly high standards. He's suffering from PTSD, depression, self-hatred, suicidal thoughts. He nearly kills himself twice. He had to literally invent therapy to deal with all the shit he went through.

(I've definitely missed some stuff so feel free to add more)

Edit: as @unraveling-plot added in the tags Kaladin literally gets superpowers because his soul is cracked

Look if you told them they were the finals in this contest, Zuko would get all huffy and be LIK “I am NOT MISERABLE. I HAVE MANY FRIENDS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO BE OROUD OF.” And then cry about it later.

Kaladin meanwhile would just stare off moodily and say some shit like “I guess I never really felt the need to seem joyful. Syl wants me to go out sometimes but… I’m just so tired… and there’s so much to do…” like this boy has self healing abilities that are instinctual and make him functionally immortal and even has the power to regrow limbs, fix spinal injuries, and even Redetext him from lethal head shots from arrows, but his scars from being a slave DIDNT HEAL until he accepted had a vision from his dead brother mid throwing himself off a tower telling him that his death was not his fault. At the end of. Book. FOUR.
