out of a commitment to neutrality, I will not comment on the results of yesterday's polls. except to say that some of you are not seeing the light of heaven.
quick facts:
The biggest sweep of this round was Gale Weathers, with 88.3% of the vote
The most voted in poll was Chloe Bourgeois v Paris Geller, with exactly 1300. The next highest vote counts were 906 (Rosalie v Cordelia) and 532 (Tahani v Haley)
The least voted in poll was Akita Neru v. Felicia Furrypaws with 56 votes, which was decided by just 2 votes
The closest poll by both % and vote count was Lydia v Erica, which was decided by approx. 0.6%, which ended up being literally 1 vote. Because this was literally my vote for Lydia and I am hypothetically impartial, Erica Jones may or may not reappear in some capacity later in the competition
Anyways. here's some edits/amvs to properly sendoff yesterday's losers:
Loki Laufeyson - Marvel
Griffith - Berserk
Haley Stardewvalley
Leighton Murray - Sex Lives of College Girls
Shiv Roy
Nellie Oleson
Paris Geller
Paris geller aesthetic edit videoAbout this video:Video is the compilatin of Gilmore Girls best moments and Gilmore Girls aesthetic edits. R
Cindy Burman - Stargirl TV
^^^ this video is good as fuck. every fandom needs to step up their edit output
OK. So apparently Rarity is not a mean girl because she is "not mean" and "represents the element (?) of generosity" but my sister who used to be super hyperfixated on friendship is magic says she is SO. I think her regality and drama make her fit the trope as close as a protagonist could in the context of a show about friendship and kindness.
With 4 times as many votes as any of the other polls that day, Rosalie only lost her lead in the last few hours, partially because many of her biggest fans disagreed that she was a mean girl at all. By just over 10% of the vote, Rosalie Hale has been eliminated from the Mean Girl Bracket.
Erica Jones - My Babysitter's a Vampire
(@bettyweir) (@gingerpeachtea) (feel free to ask to untag)
I was fully convinced Erica had won this one. mbav fans are some of the loudest most passionate people I have ever met. Thank you for sounding off in the notes of this one :') Erica Jones has been eliminated from the Mean Girl Bracket
Marceline the Vampire Queen
It seemed for a little bit that everyone's profound love for marcy could overcome the fact that she is only technically a mean girl for like 3 episodes. Still, a heartbreak to see her lose anything. Marceline has been eliminated from the competition.
Alison Dilaurentis - Pretty Little Liars
(tags via @maddiebuckley and @pinktinselmonstrosity )
This one went back and forth every time I checked. It's also the poll with the most people on both sides convinced that their favorite should be the obvious choice. Nevertheless, Alison Dilaurentis has been eliminated from the competition.
Chanel Oberlin - Scream Queens
Very surprised by this one. I think I have to watch scream queens now. Chanel Oberlin has been eliminated from the competition.
Lexy Cross - Chucky TV series
This was on me, I wasn't familiar enough with either franchise to make a fair matchup. Lexy Cross has been eliminated from the competition.
Meg Masters
It was a treat to see her on the bracket. Meg Masters has been Eliminated from the competition.
Half of the round 1 day 1 polls have officially closed. Let's send off our losers with dignity
1. Queen Cersei Lannister - Game of Thrones
Cersei was nominated once without comment. She ended up having several passionate advocates in the poll, but not until several hours in when Lobelia already had a massive lead. Cersei Lannister was able to fight her way to an impressively close near-tie, and has been honorably discharged from the Mean Girl Bracket.
2. February of the Calendar Council - Fallen London
Fallen London is a text-based browser game set in an alternate Victorian London. Similar to Cersei, February fell behind early on but had almost caught up by the time the poll ended. Nevertheless, February of the Calendar Council has been eliminated from the Mean Girl Bracket.
3. Pansy Parkinson
Pansy Parkinson is a minor character from Harry Potter that is very popular with fans, in the words of Quinn Curio "fueled mostly by the premise that rich ambitious girls with jet black bobs look cool, and you wanna kiss them." which I respect. She was submitted once without comment. Pansy Parkinson has been eliminated from the Mean Girl Bracket.
4. Tohsaka Rin (Fate: Stay/Night saga)
Tohsaka Rin is the coolest girl in school and, separately an extremely powerful young mage. Also one of my personal favorite characters in the bracket. From @chevalierebf 's tags:
She and Amber traded leads several times, but ultimately Tohsaka Rin has been eliminated from the Mean Girl Bracket.
5. Medusa from Greek Mythology
Medusa is a character in many greek myths with snake hair that turns people to stone when seen. She was an out of the box submission and a beloved part of almost every modern adaptation of greek myth, including the one her competitor is from. She lost by only 3% in the second most voted in poll so far. Medusa has been eliminated from the competition.
6. London Tipton (Suite life of Zack and Cody and Suite Life on Deck)
Like comment and subscribe please
London Tipton had an early lead but was overtaken in a second half upset by 10%. She is more famously clueless than mean, but classic it-girl nonetheless. London Tipton has been eliminated from the competition.
7. Cheryl Blossom - Riverdale
Cheryl Blossom is a close personal friend to me. While she is the mean rich beautiful cheerleading captain, she is also canonically a weird loser freak that no one likes. She had a brief lead but was solidly overtaken by GLaDOS. (tragically) (to ME) Cheryl Blossom has been eliminated from the competition
8. Tess Tyler - Camp Rock
I may have overestimated the continued strength of the camp rock fandom in this matchup - sorry tess!! Tess Tyler has been eliminated from the competition
9. Felicia Furrypaws - Babymouse
Felicia was one of my favorite submissions, and the addition of a children's book character was an essential component in the vibes of this competition. This was anyone's game right up until the end, with Neru winning by just 2 votes. Felicia Furrypaws has been eliminated from the Mean Girl Bracket.
