You sunk my battle ship!

While Sonic ships may never be canon again, out here on the wild ocean of tumblr, they can battle (respectfully)

[sonicshipbattles]

Following the results of this poll, I've decided to run another poll using the top 3 voted answers to see which one you want the most. So...

Which of these ship battle tournaments would you most like to see next?

Shadow Ships

YURI WARS (would be trans hc inclusive, as all of these would be)*

THE MOST SINGLE CHARACTER IN THE SONIC FRANCHISE TOURNAMENT(S)**

Voting ended onJan 23, 2024

*Would be potentially followed by YAOI WARS and maybe even HET WARS

**Would potentially be two tournaments - one for "most single (derogatory)" and one for "most single (complimentary)"

[sonicshipbattles]

So, Shadow Ships it is! I'm very excited for this one, since Shadow is great and it's in the same format as the previous tournaments, so won't require any extra planning It'll still be a while before I can commit to getting the next tournament started, but I'll keep you all posted on any updates. Thank you for your interest!

Sonic Shipping Survey

OK! SO!

I got bored and then decided to make some surveys for the Sonic fandom, this is survey #1, centered around shipping and people's favorite ships for certain characters. This one is a bit on the longer side since I included so many characters, but that's how we get data.

There are 2 sections and I ask that people fill out both, but I do understand if the first one gets overwhelming. I hope to get as much data as possible, so please share this around!

Also, I have about 2 other surveys in the works, but I didn't want to release all of them at once. I don't want to get too overwhelmed in organizing all the data from several surveys. So here's survey #1 on Sonic shipping!

Sonic Shipping

This survey is essentially to determine the fandoms favorite ships throughout the franchise, popular or not. This whole survey is purely for

Round 1 Pt. 1, Match 21: Chaos Sonic vs Berdly Who is trans in every direction at once?

Chaos Sonic

Berdly

Voting ended onSep 15, 2024

Propaganda:

Chaos Sonic:

- All robots are inherently trans

- Made to think exactly like Sonic, who is also very trans

- I'm trans and obsessed with them

Berdly:

- So. So many egg jokes

- They talk about in the perfect world they would have nipples. Possibly chest dysphoria of some kind

- I like to see them as either a trans woman ignoring their gender feelings by sinking into male dominated nerd culture or a trans man sinking into male dominated nerd culture for gender affirmation. And nonbinary people tend to be nerds period (said as an enby)

- Both Undertale and Deltarune are super queer so everyone's got a cool gender

Round 1 Pt. 1, Match 7: Gonzo vs Sonic the Hedgehog

Gonzo

Sonic the Hedgehog

Voting ended onSep 15, 2024

Propaganda:

Gonzo:

- All muppets have a certain level of gender

- There are a few comic strips joking about Gonzo's gender being "whatever" (the bathroom strip where they go pat both the men's and the women's to go into the whatever comes to mind)

- They're an artist and a showman (show-whatever?) which is very trans of them

- In the Muppet Babies reboot they did a Cinderella type story with Gonzo as Cinderella and they wore a dress. Which honestly just fits very well into their whole gender situation

Sonic the Hedgehog:

- Their whole thing is freedom and following your heart

- Everyone in Sonic is so gender

- They hate pants but will wear a skirt in some iterations

- In at least one iteration Sonic is a chosen name, not their birth name

- Sonic once recieved a birthday card in the trans flag colors, which were obvious enough that one could argue it was intentional

Super Mario Bracket: SONIC THE HEDGEHOG vs "CAPTAIN" LOU ALBANO

Sonic the Hedgehog

SEED: 12 (49 nominations)

PREVIOUS OPPONENT: Undodog

SPECIES: Hedgehog

DEBUT: Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games

BIO: the protagonist of the Sonic the Hedgehog series, which historically was a "rival" to the Super Mario series. Sonic and his friends qualify as "Mario characters" through a series that's a crossover between three separate internationally famous brands: Super Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog, and the Olympic Games.

[Super Mario Wiki article]

"Captain" Lou Albano

SEED: 76 (9 nominations)

PREVIOUS OPPONENT: Yellow & Blue Toad

SPECIES: Human

DEBUT: The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!

BIO: a professional wrestler who appears played by himself in an episode of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, "Captain Lou Is Missing". it is important to emphasize here that voting for Captain Lou is not voting for the character Mario from Super Show!, and it's definitely not voting for the character Mario from the other DIC cartoons where he is not portrayed by Lou Albano. Lou Albano and Walker Boone are not the same person.

I feel people are greatly underestimating the comedic value of if Sonic the Hedgehog won the best Mario character tournament.

BARRY USES THEY/THEM. DO NOT MISGENDER THEM.

Rules you must follow or you will be blocked:

do not diss on any of the characters. hype characters up, don't bring them down.

do not be mean to any other voters, either on a personal level or in general. if you are trying to joke around, you must clarify because we cannot tell the difference.

do not claim a character does not deserve to be here. this includes claiming a character doesn't count as just some guy. if you hate it that much, make your own tournament.

if i genuinely fucked something up and did not notice please GENTLY poke me about it. passive aggressiveness will be ignored.

if you are posting propaganda you have to @ tag us, including if your propaganda is in the reblogs. it is difficult to tell when something is or isn't propaganda. anything not tagging us will be missed.

we see practically everything you put in the tags. don't say some shit that you wouldn't say to our faces. be respectful.

#as a henry stickmin fan vote barry#don't get me wrong henry does have his ''just some guy'' vibes esp early on#but barry is an amnesiac asked to solve a murder mystery case. you can't get much more ''just some guy'' than that
