I need you guys to know we're refusing to put any votes in to not skew the results, which means we have. NO IDEA. What any of you have been voting for. And WONT KNOW BECAUSE THE GUY WHO MADE THIS DECIDED TO SET IT TO A WEEK INSTEAD OF A DAY
Anyways we're handling this great on our end /silly
We're back for round 3! Naturally, I'm taking rules into account here from last time, as well as trying my best to seed things so matchups can be at least somewhat fair. But anyway, time for the rules!!
Notes on nominations:
You may submit as many characters as you like! The form is set up so you can do that easily.
Only 2 characters per series will make the cut. This is to prevent half the entire tournament being one entire thing. If anything gets more than two, the ones with the highest number of votes will be chosen. If there's a tie, I'll flip a coin (or if I know it well enough, I'll be tiebreaker)
Previous winners cannot enter again, but will have their own special poll in the post-tournament fun polls. Past winners are Starscream (Transformers as a whole) and Talita Dospaco (Runaway to the Stars).
The deadline is June 5 2023, 12 PM EST. This should give you guys plenty of time to get in your space blorbos!
Acceptable characters:
Must be fictional.
Must be from another planet (or anywhere outside of Earth's orbit) and not human (but they can look human). They may be part human, however.
Extradimensional life counts, so long as they are depicted more like aliens and less like eldritch horrors.
The character being an alien must be canon, not headcanon. When canon implies but is not obvious about it, characters will be accepted on a case-by-case basis. (sorry Jojo fans, Mikitaka is too ambiguous for me - but I think he's pretty cool!).
Any form of media is fine - books, TV, games, you name it! If it’s fiction, it works!
All of the rules for submissions are on the awesomealienshowdown blog over on tumblr. Remember - you can submit as many times as you like,
Dissociation Swag Competition is a Tumblr bracket-style tournament meant to pit fictional characters against each other who have (canonically or headcanon) dissociative disorders! These include, but are not limited to:
Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)
Depersonalization-Derealization Disorder (DPDR)
Otherwise Specified Dissociative Disorder (OSDD)
Unspecified Dissociative Disorder (UDD)
Dissociative Amnesia
Dissociation as symptoms of other disorders (including anxiety, depression, PTSD, BPD, OCD, and many others)
This is NOT meant to romanticize mental illness. Instead, this is to celebrate characters like us and push for more positive representation!
Round 1 was run back in February and March 2023, and now we're running a second round of it!
NOMINATIONS
You can nominate characters with this form! Just keep in mind the following rules:
Fictional characters only, no real people!
Characters do not need to canonically have a dissociative disorder, headcanons are accepted
Characters featured in round 1 can be nominated, except for Shallan Davar (Just to avoid having the same winner in round 2)
Submit one form per character, start a new form to nominate a new character!
Only submit one form per character, no spam nominations!
Hello! This form is to collect nominations for Round 2 of the Dissociation Swag Competition!
Please keep in mind the following rules:
Fictio
NOMINATIONS WILL CLOSE SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2023
Bracket size, timelines, etc will be announced closer to nominations ending, stay tuned!
Made by @a-r-finch my last tournament failed to gain traction so lets hope this one does.
Just as important as the hero and villain, the mentor and the student is just as crucial. It's through the mentor the student learns how to be a better hero. So lets so whose relationship is the best.
Rules
The mentor has to actually teach the student. Be it how to fight or life lessons.
If the characters have had multiple portrayals you have to say from which series. There have been plenty of shows and movies with the Ninja Turtles and Master Splinter
Live action, animation and video games all apply.
If we don't reach enough submissions this tournament will end up like the last one. Now lets get it on!
Fights for love and justice, the quintessential magical girl
IN THE NAME OF THE MOON, SHE WILL PUNISH YOU!
She is the Moon Princess. "In the name of the moon, I'll punish you!"
She's Sailor MOON. Of the moon, in the sky.
I love her
she is simply iconique …. the pretty guardian who fights for love and justice … princess of the moon deeply in love with humanity … also id be kinda mad if some kind of magical girl didnt win this tournament
Possibly the most iconic moon themed character in existence
Moon Knight
Moon Knight is an underrated character who's been around since the mid-70's, but has only recently gotten the more attention he deserves since the Disney+ adaptation. However, I am a firm comics supremacy believer and can attest he is even cooler in the comics. The current run (Moon Knight 2021) is the best he's been written in quite some time for example, as it's friendly to veteran fans and new fans alike!
Moon Knight is not your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man; he will fuck you up if you deserve it, and benefits from the fact that many villains are terrified of him.
Moon Knight is canonically Jewish, and though he is non-practising, it plays a major part in his story and identity.
It's also worth noting that Moon Knight has DID, with three identities: Marc Spector (host), Steven Grant, and Jake Lockley.
He's such an interesting and compelling character. The comics have spawned countless hilarious memes (I know you're here Dracula you big nerd wheres my money; random bullshit go; etc). The show was amazing, and Oscar Isaac acted his ass off
They are so cool; they're both canonically Jewish and have DID
One of the most unique superheroes out there due to being plural. Really cool, too.
I love him, your honor. I'd like to say more but the truth is I only watched the show and I will leave the propaganda to comics fans.

Umbreon
umbreon is so cool and while i prefer espeon, it's definitely one of my favorites (specifically my third favorite)
Hi, welcome to the Moon Swag Tourney! We're here to put moon-themed bad bitches against each other, and see who ends up on top!
Feel free to send questions via the askbox! I plan on working on the specifics of the tournament while submissions are open. (They close on July 13th.)
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Submit as many characters as you'd like! However, spamming the same character in the forms will disqualify them. Please don't.
Only one or two characters will be allowed per franchise, for variety's sake.
All the characters will need to be related to the moon in a significant way. It doesn't have to be there entire character, but ideally it's an everlasting thing, or a very major event. If I'm unsure of someone, I'll make a post asking for opinions!
I don't want to exclude many fandoms (even ones I personally dislike,) but any characters from Harry Potter, real life, South Park, or MCYT will be auto-rejected. I hold the right to reject others, but I will try to keep it fair by limiting this!
Don't harass me or anybody rooting for specific characters. You will be blocked.
I am a very busy person. I apologize if any delays occur but I'll do my best to prevent them!
form link:
Feel free to submit a bunch of different characters, but please do not spam the same character over and over! Doing so means I just might no
Tagging some inspirations for this under the cut. Help getting this spread is very appreciated (but not necessary/expected)!!
Do you have a blorbo who is either a true thespian, is associated with the performance arts, or was just undeniably, 100% in theater (or still is?) Submit them to compete against other theater kids and see who has the most
🎭 DRAMATIC SWAG! 🎭
(plaintext: dramatic swag!)
Run by @whimsii-cal ! I sincerely hope nobody has had this idea yet.
Big WIP. Fair warning mod is a nervous wreck and is very afraid she will get things wrong so be patient please/lh A lot is being worked on right now and submissions are not yet open, but will be soon!!! Follow for updates if you‘d like. You can also ask me to tag you when submissions do open.
@plural-swag-competition i was considering making one of these myself if i found the time to do it, because a lot of my favorite plural rep follows this format, but apparently someone else beat me to it !!!!! hope you don't mind the mention, it just seemed thematically related to your blog to me :)
Hm, you should vote either way; the other bracket seems lovely as well!
And if you like Pokémon; we have one day left in the voting for the quarterfinals of our quest to find the most lil guy Pokémon, so feel free to stop by and vote there too!
