OUTDATED POST

Last updated 8/18/23, please check the bracket posts for the most up-to-date competitor list.

Sorted alphabetically by game for easy searching.

These are (almost) all of the bracket participants! There are a few who are still up in the air. Please do not get upset with me if your blorbo did not qualify; I did my best to research each game I was unfamiliar with. The most common reason for a character to be disqualified was being from a game without any romance at all.

Note that some of these may be removed, as my attempts at research may not have been sufficient.

Submissions are officially closed!

Thank you all for your submissions! Here's some fun statistics for you all.

We received a total of 263 submissions! Of these, 131 are unique and eligible characters for the bracket. When it comes to media I wasn't as familiar with, I did my best to research whether or not characters would qualify and erred on the side of caution. I'll be posting a list of accepted characters shortly.

The most submitted character was Yusuke Kitagawa from Persona 5, with eight submissions! Brynjolf, Linus, Goro Akechi, Varric Tethras, and Monika were close behind with seven submissions each.

The media with the most submissions total was Stardew Valley, with 36 submissions! Skyrim was in second with 23 submissions, and Persona 5 in third with 20 submissions.

The character with the longest submitted propaganda is the Gatekeeper from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. It's 551 words long. Jesus christ.

I'll be taking a few days to seed the bracket and get everything set up! See y'all soon!

As the submitter of Jeremy King, I'd like to qualify that I specifically want the version of Jeremy that has the history with the olba mc. I put in while submitting him my reasoning but basically I know he's datable in another game but that game has a completely different MC. I don't want that MC to be able to date Jeremy. I want the olba MC to be able to have an enemies to lovers relationship with Jeremy.

That makes sense to me! I just wanted to put it up for a vote since multiple people had contacted me about it.

a quick update

thank you all for being patient with me! The bracket is now seeded and I'm working on graphics. Due to scheduling (I'm getting married in 9 days??) I will be postponing the bracket a bit.

I've divided up the bracket into four groups of 32 (sixteen matches each) to avoid having to manage 64 polls simultaneously. Round one will last for one week for each group.

Group A will go live on Tuesday, September 5th.

I'm thinking about staggering the posts, instead of having them all go up at the same time. Maybe one every half an hour?

36 hours until submissions close!

Do you have a favorite character that cannot be romanced (in a game with romance options)? Submit them to the undatable bracket!

One Week Update

Hey everyone! We've gotten 186 submissions so far, with 91 unique characters. I'd like to get a few more before submissions close on August 17th!

In order to get to a 128 character bracket, we'll need 37 more unique submissions. If we don't reach that, we may do some round-robin brackets for the first round to ensure that as many characters can get in as possible. I'm not crazy about three-way polls or letting characters skip to the second round, but I'll see what works best for the final count.

A new rule for groups

We have a few submissions that feature large groups of characters, such as "every female character in this game." I've decided to add an addendum to the rules that this is not a valid submission type. Duos/couples are fine, if you feel two or more characters are inseparable and Must be part of the same relationship (eg, we have a submission of Orpheus and Eurydice from Hades, which is a valid submission).

If you've submitted any of those large groups, please submit your favorites individually instead!

A note on propaganda

This bracket will not be accepting negative propaganda. It's just not the vibe I want to cultivate!

Additionally, I will not accept and may edit propaganda that disparage specific existing romance options. For example "I can't believe you can date X but not Y!!" is something I will likely omit. Remember that there's someone out there who absolutely ADORES character X, even if you don't.

Comments about general groups like "you can date all of the men in this game but not your best female friend" or even "I feel like the protagonist has stronger chemistry with this guy than any of the characters you can actually romance" are completely fine!

Thank you all for your submissions and support!

I've had some unexpected medical stuff pop up (well, most medical stuff is unexpected) but I now have proper treatment and will have more time to put into this bracket.

Check out the rules and submit more characters here!
