I’ve got about an hour before I have to leave for work, so let’s make another lore post about some Teams. Just another reminder that the two ships on a team will not be in a bracket together, they will be sent to the opposite sides of the tournament and will only have a chance to go against each other if they make it to the finals.
This time around, it’s...well, teams focused on video games. We have a lot of teams like that, but I’m avoiding any ships with Smash characters this time around for the sake of organization (I’ll likely slap those in their own post later), and Megaman and Pit will probably go somewhere else as well. Where they’ll go, I’ll decide later. But for now:
Team Hearts And Friendship Game:
Aqua/Cinderella
Sora/Jim Hawkins
Pretty straightforward; they feature a main character from Kingdom Hearts alongside a Disney character. Ironically, Jim is the only one here who has yet to actually be in a Kingdom Hearts game (but maybe one day~). I dunno who submitted Aqua and Cinderella, but they’re so real for it.
As for Jim and Sora, that one was an automatic-in from yours truly. They’re just adorable and I’ve seen a lot of art of them that warms my heart (teehee, heart). Maybe one day Sora will actually get yet another significant other in the form of Jim in canon, but for now, t’is but a fan dream.
Team Anime Boys:
Floyd Leech/Kanata Shinkai
Kokichi Ouma/Venti
Gonna be completely honest, this one and the next one were mostly based on vibes, as I know next to nothing about any of the games these boys are from, outside of the Danganronpa series. And I’d be lying if I said Kokichi was one of my favorites. I like him fine, he’s a fun little bastard. But there’s something that just keeps him from being completely hyped about him as a lot of other people get. (Maybe it’s the thing he does in Chapter 4 to my favorite character in the franchise or something 🤔) (It’s not that, I promise, but I’m still sad about it).
That being said, I do know of Twisted Wonderland and Genshin Impact. Ensemble Stars is a total mystery to me, but I know it’s a game so there you go! Either way, the team is composed of a lot of anime boys that I’m sure are gonna get a lot of support!
Also just a fun little fact; Kokichi is participating over in the Nonship tournament alongside Bill Cipher (yet another submission by yours truly). I’m sure nothing bad will come of that friendship! 🙂
Although with the younger Pines Twins being in two ships each, I’m sure we’re bound to spot that triangle bastard sneaking around over here at some points to cause trouble. Especially if a couple of his former Sexyman Tournament Competitors are lingering in the background of things to support someone in this tournament. They probably have much kinder intentions than him, though.
Team Video Game Men:
Alex Mercer/Desmond Miles
Beastman/Lifeweaver
Once again, based on vibes as I know next to nothing about these franchises. Also I realize Beastman isn’t technically a video game man (pretty sure he’s not, but for all I know, there could be a He-Man game with him out there somewhere), but with the remaining three all being from games, I still felt the name was fitting enough.
I will give some credit to Beastman/Lifeweaver, it was one of the most submitted ships out of all 150 submissions. Dunno if it was the same person who submitted it that many times, or if they got their friends involved, but I’m so pleasantly surprised by all the support and propaganda it’s been receiving since submissions closed. It’s making me hope they get pretty far in the tournament just on hype and love from a select few alone!
Or maybe it’s one of those super popular ships that I had no idea was popular until a thousand people crawl out of the woodworks to show up for it. We’ll have to see!
Team Andrew Hussie to Toby Fox Pipeline:
Anne Boonchuy/Nepeta Leijon
Reagan Ridley/Toriel Dreemur
I’m very funny for that name, but also I’ve been a fan of both creators for years now, so I’m a bit biased towards any ship with a character from either franchise. Especially Nepeta, who happens to be my favorite Homestuck character. Toriel...not as high on my list of favorite Undertale characters, but I do like her regardless! Hard not to love Goat Mom (even if you much prefer a certain Goat Dad yourself 😉)
I know less about Inside Out and Amphibia, but both look like pretty enjoyable cartoons that I know I’ll have to check out one of these days. And I know both girlies from each ship look like pretty enjoyable characters (Anne gets points in my book for being voiced by Miss London Tipton herself).
So I know I’m gonna have a soft spot for this team in particular, and I’m hoping they manage to make it far in the tournament!
Speaking of Undertale, however, I do wonder if that means a certain someone (someone who did get submitted a few times in ships of his own, but were inevitably rejected due to the fear of him sweeping the tournament) will make an appearance at some point. Especially with how this tournament has both a Danganronpa character and a Mob Psycho 100 character.
Wonder if that means those who were submitted alongside him will also appear? ...Honestly, no promises but we’ll see what happens.
Hello all! Maddy here just to give a little message saying hi! We all now have these snazzy banners to use when we want to send a message out to those who are interested and looking at our Tumblr (or if you are in the server and just nosey at what we are up to here). I wanted to also say that if anyone is even looking at joining please don’t hesitate to send in an application! We love the idea of having loads of new people and cannot wait to meet you all! We hope we can see you soon!

Heck so the only thing I’ve come up with so far is RNBW Team, but I’m not sure what it’d be short for, and I don’t want to make it official if anybody else has better ideas
So any other suggestions? Or whatever RNBW could be short for?
