I don't think Mario and Luigi are twins????
Also saw a couple other articles talking about them being confirmed twins, which I myself didn’t know before hosting this bracket

Voting for Leo and Donnie even harder now, actually. I love them because they DON'T fit into twin stereotypes. People view them as twins because they're brothers who are the same age. Not because they look the same (they don't) or act the same (they don't) or have the same interests (they don't)-- because you don't need any of those things to be a twin! They're twins who DO have their own identities and ARE treated as their own separate people! And I feel that they're typically treated as separate, independent people by the fandom, too, at least the parts I hang out in! Look, I love Hikaru and Karou, and I think that looking at the identity trauma that comes with being a twin and their story overall is important. But that doesn't mean that looking at Donnie and Leo and saying, "they're twins," is WRONG or BAD. They're twins who are treated the way I want twins to be treated! That's really important and special to me!!! You don't have to see them as twins, and it's okay if you don't identify with them, but that doesn't mean that I don't get to or that I'm wrong if I do. And YES, I am a twin too, and I get it! But I also think that reducing being a twin down to 'being born from the same uterus and that's IT' is wrong, actually? Like, yeah, that's how people usually do it, but here's the thing. I don't remember any of the time I spent in the uterus with my twin. But I remember the experience of us growing up together as twins! That's the important part for me. Donnie and Leo might not have shared a womb, but they did grow up together. That's enough for me. (Also... like... they're literally turtles. They. They can't share a uterus. They hatched out of eggs lol.)
-Also An Actual Twin.

You have no idea who's going to win the tournament
True. I had predictions but running tournaments has made me learn to stop underestimating the sheer power of fandoms
Funniest submission you've gotten so far?
(You made me look and realize how many submissions I have now oh gosh)
I’m looking at just the summaries but I’ll add a couple extra bits/reasons people put in that I found funny…from characters themselves from what I’ve seen I haven’t found one funny? Idk I either don’t recognize them or smile because they’re a twin pair I was thinking of got submitted in by others
Could you do a poll to see how many of the people following this are twins themselves? I’m rather curious now, as a twin myself!
Oh I did this a while back here! I’ll make another one since I do have more followers now
Are you a twin that’s following this tournament?
Yes
No
Yes but not following
No and not following
What fandom have you gotten the most submissions from so far? Like, I'm genuinely curious
These are the top five, true as of first 100 submissions:
Sander Sides, Roman and Remus Sanders at 18 submissions
Gravity Falls, Dipper and Mabel Pines at 7 submissions
Ouran High School Host Club, Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin at 5 submissions
ROTTMNT, Leo and Donnie Hamato (Disaster Twins) at 4 submissions
Vocaloid, Kagamine Rin and Len at 4 submissions
im sorry the sky fandom suddenly blasted your notes we just love our twinks <3
You guys gripped this poll lol
Also you reminded me of this tag which made me laugh so hard when I first saw it
who would win?
actual twins who had an entire arc about them growing up as twins and their most iconic scene imo is the scene where they dye their hair blue and pink because people genuinely couldnt tell them apart
or
two turtle boys that, last i checked, are not twins.
[please vote hikaru and kaoru. kaoru wasnt my sexuality awakening for nothing. please do them justice please please please vote for the RIGHT pair, not your FAVORITE pair]
(:
