💕SOULMATE BRACKET 💕

“You became a part of me the moment I laid eyes on you. Wherever you go—I’ll go. Because I know, I’m a part of you as well.” - Clairel Estevez

Qualifications:

This poll is meant for characters who have been reincarnated and keep finding eachother—literal soulmates (at least one character has to have been reincarnated)

Also acceptable: immortal characters who have lived multiple lifetimes together OR the text explicitly calls them soulmates

The ship does NOT have to be canon, but one of the qualifiers above does have to be an element of the story.

The paring also does not need to be a ship at all! Parings that are 100% platonic or even mortal enemies are also allowed—just as long as their souls are bonded together!

Rules:

Exceptions to the above qualifications can be made with sound enough reasoning (give me the essays 👀).

No real people unless your argument for why they deserve to be here is funny enough to me personally.

You can submit as many characters as you would like, but only submit that character once.

I have the right to refuse any submissions on the grounds of the creator being a bigot, or the pairing is gross [terfs and pro-shipers please exit the premises]. We all know what I'm talking about, but if you have questions feel free to ask. I will NOT be taking arguments about my decisions.

Light-hearted ribbing is a allowed and encouraged, but if it gets too serious, all guilty parties are getting blocked. It's a tumblr poll, let's keep it fun.

Propaganda is encouraged!! Adding it on to the poll itself is preferred, but I will also be checking my mentions!

Submission Box will close May 20th 10:00pm EST

The first round will start May 24th 3:00pm EST

*these dates are subjected to change based on traction*

Minor Bracket Final Round

[autisticgirliesbracket]

Autistic Girlies Bracket!

It is a sad truth that autism barely sees representation in media. Even if it does, the character presented on-screen is usually a young boy DESPITE the fact that your gender does not effect your likelihood to have been born autistic.

Which is why this bracket strives to highlight all the canon autistic and autistic-coded girlies out there in media!! And then pit them against each other to prove who is the girlie of all time <3

Another bracket by the host of @adhdvsautismbracket

Inspired by my fellow awesome Tumblr pollers including (but not limited to): @weirdgirlshowdown @insanepoll @artificialkids-2k23-official @sapphiccharacterstournament @beefy-babe-showdown @disabilityshowdown @adhdswagcompetition @pruechaosbracket @goldenretrieverguybracket

Submissions are currently OPEN!

Please nominate your girlies via this form.

Rules:

Do not submit real people/actors/YouTubers/ect. (this includes VTubers and MCYT roleplay)

You can submit multiple characters, but no not submit the same character multiple times.

Please use the form to submit one character at a time (for the sake of organisation and my sanity). Characters submitted via the ask box will not be counted.

Characters do not need to be 'canon' to submit them. This competition will mostly be about autistic-coded characters because canon rep is so rare.

Characters do need to be a girl/woman/girl-aligned to submit them. I probably won't be too strict with this rule and if you're unsure please feel free to send me an ask.

One character per piece of media will be allowed into the competition.

Don't be ableist.

Any questions, feel free to direct these to my inbox!

Under the cut are some characters that are automatically accepted into the initial bracket because I think they deserve to be there, but feel free to give these girlies extra nominations anyway:

Webby Vanderquack from Ducktales 2017

Norma Khan from Dead End Paranormal Park

Delmin from Show by Rock!! Mashumairesh

Wolf from Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts

Percival "Percy" King from Epithet Erased

Lunella Lafayette from Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur

Sucrose from Genshin Impact

Twyla Boogeyman from Monster High (G3)

Minor Bracket Final Round

[dxntloseurhead]

IB PROPAGANDA !!!!

ib’s main colour is RED! it’s the colour she’s associated with throughout the game; the main three characters of the game all have a rose which is their representative colour, and ib’s is red 🌹

(mary even says so herself!)

these roses also literally represent the lives of the characters. can’t get any more red-coded than that, can you?

ib isn’t really associated with any other colours besides red; it’s featured primarily in her outfit (a red skirt, tie, and shoes), as well as her red eyes. meanwhile, strawberry can also be considered a pink character due to other elements of her design.

also, just look at her 🥺

(all art by the game’s creator, kouri!)

in conclusion, VOTE IB !!!

[redcharacterbracket]

Can you please tell the fine people voting not to be toxic in the replies and tags? I'm not that big on people putting other people down and wishing death upon their favorite characters.

This used to be a huge problem, and I did make an announcement about it and started blocking people who participated in such behavior. I haven’t seen anything of the sort in a while, if you have a concern feel free to send me a screenshot and I can sort it out

Double Elimination Tournaments

You may be asking: “What are they?”

First, let’s look at the brackets y’all are used to here on tumblr:

This is what we refer to as a single elimination tournament. As the name suggests, once someone loses one match, they are out for good.

There have been many variations on what we call a Loser’s Bracket here on tumblr, but they’ve mostly been used as an afterthought to the single elimination format. Traditionally, Loser’s Brackets are only used in double elimination. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing- a lot of the losers brackets my fellow poll runners have come up with are very creative!

This is a double elimination bracket:

As the name suggests, a competitor has to lose twice to be out for good. It is comprised of a Winner’s Bracket and a Loser’s Bracket, which gives characters who lost in round one (and every other round) a chance to come back, and hopefully make it to the finals. This also means that the winner of the Winner’s Bracket has to compete against the winner of the Loser’s Bracket, which gives the opportunity for a rematch (Winner has to win twice rule).

There are pros and cons to both tournament styles. I hope this was informative and helpful!
