I promise, I didn't forget about this blog. College started and I've generally just been a wreck for the past few months. I'm gonna start going through submissions this weekend <3
Was your favorite book turned into an absolutely god awful movie?
If so, you may be entitled to emotional compensation! In this tournament, the worst adaptions will duke it out to determine which is, actually, The Absolute Worst.
Qualifications:
Must be an adaptation of a book. If I allowed things like comic books, the entire mcu would be submitted
It doesn't actually have to be a bad movie-- take How To Train Your Dragon, for example. It's a great movie! I love it! I would even say that it's my favorite movie! It's not a good adaption, though. Very different from the books (or at least, the two that I read)
It doesn't have to be a movie-- if a book got adapted into a really shitty show, then that would be allowed in
Rules:
Be civil. It is a silly tumblr tournament. If you absolutely must, then beat down the adaption of your fave, rather than beating down the original, or you know, REAL ACTUAL PEOPLE.
Propaganda is allowed and encouraged, both during the voting and submission periods
Honestly there's nothing I can think of to ban so I'm just going to leave you here with another message: I know where the block button is.

do you think your favorite blorbo turned basically oc deserves to win the crown?
even when no one knows what their voice sounds like?
then you are in luck! welcome to
THE DIALOGUELESS DUEL!
Characters from all across your favorite media who have never said a word will come together to battle it out in paired matchups, but you know how this all works already. lets get into the rules.
this is not necessarily for silent protagonists, they can be submitted but this tournament is mainly about the underdogs, the characters you are obsessed with despite having little immediate presence in the story.
we do not know every media ever and as a result cannot check to see if every character is truly dialogueless, we will be taking your word for it
we don't have a set bracket size yet, we'll see how many submissions we get!
submissions also do not have a set end date.
us pollrunners will be very biased, many of our own blorbos have been automatically added into the tournament, our house our rules
please be kind! no /srs death threats or major dunking on other contestants (be nice to us to we have feelings)
as always, submit as many characters as you would like but don't submit the same one multiple times
propaganda is allowed and encouraged! askbox will be open during the duration of the tournament and we will try our best to reblog any propaganda you make on the polls themselves, if making propaganda on your own post make sure to tag us so we see it!
no harry potter or south park please
lastly, we still do not know every media ever so if we end up including a problematic piece of media do be civil about it as we most likely did not know about it
lastly have fun, this is a threat, this is for fun, don't get too serious about it
Thank you very much to all who have expressed interest thus far! Now, onto the rules.
Submission rules
-For the sole purpose of avoiding unnecessary conflict, I will not be accepting submissions from controversial media including: Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss, Harry Potter, Dream SMP and South Park. I will not state my own opinions on these, I am simply doing this because I want this tournament to be free from drama. Well, that kind of drama, at least (ha-ha. I’ll see myself offstage.)
-only fictional characters please! No real people. Characters who are live action/played by real people are fine as long as the character themself is a fictional concept, of course!
-I’ve decided that OCs will not be allowed either. I’m sorry, but this is mostly to avoid feelings getting hurt and because it would be unfair to pair smaller creators’ characters against ones from widely viewed media.
-Please don’t spam. It will not do any good for anyone.
Submissions will most likely close around the end of July, but this may change. Whatever the case I will post an at least one week in advance warning before they close! Go ahead and Submit your blorbos, folks!
I wish I was a female tiger because then if I was talking to someone and I was getting off topic I could say “but I tigress,” and then kill and eat them because I am a tiger
Rebageling again because... what gets me most about this interpretation is the softness. When I read the poem, I read it as exultant and fierce. The tiger within was the tiger burning bright of another poem’s fame. The tiger destroyed his cage, and who knew what next now that he was out.
Here, we’re given an answer. The tiger steps out and is surprised by the soft grass under his feet, delighted, goes wide-eyed with wonder, and leaps into the meadow. Here, the focus isn’t the cage’s destruction, but getting out, being out, so that the last glimpse we’re given is the tiger now tiny (and joyful!) in the distance, surrounded by the wide green expanse of freedom.
Do you have a blorbo who is either a true thespian, is associated with the performance arts, or was just undeniably, 100% in theater (or still is?) Submit them to compete against other theater kids and see who has the most
🎭 DRAMATIC SWAG! 🎭

(pollrunner also runs @bestfictionaldivorce, @sanslookalikepoll, and co-runs @lordsinblackfollowersdeathmatch)
This poll is for those blond characters who are complete and total assholes. The ones you look at and say "What a bitch"
I hope Linda Monroe sweeps
RULES:
No characters from Harry Potter/Helluva Boss/Hazbin Hotel/DSMP/MCYT/South Park.
"Bitch" derogatory. No girlbosses who are called a bitch affectionately. I want girlies who are total assholes and are called bitches derogatorily. So no Barbie, sorry.
When I say blond I mean yellow to platinum blond. White hair does not count.
Linda Monroe(Hatchetfield), Miu Iruma(Danganronpa), and the Candle Queen(Ghost and Pals) are already in, do not submit them
You can submit multiple characters but don't submit the same character multiple times
This is meant for female characters, but don't be afraid to submit male or nonbinary characters

REPOSTING THIS PROPAGANDA im too tired to write a new one... sorry kravitz nation. i know death will win but id at least like kravitz to go down with a fight!!!
[Image ID: Four different screenshots made into one image. The first is white text on a black background. It first says, in all caps, "OK Kravitz propaganda again!" Then, underneath, it says "kravitz is the grim reaper, and the bounty hunter (initially the only one) for the raven queen! he refers to himself as death too so hes very much a deathguy".
The second one is black text on a white background. It shows a conversation between Kravitz and another character, named Magnus, written in script format. The conversation goes as follows:
"Kravitz: Okay. Some people call me Death, sure, some people call me- oh, in some societies I'm called the Grim Reaper. I like that one.
Magnus: Oh, I saw you in a movie with Bill and Ted!
Kravitz: I prefer to go by Kravitz. And I am a bounty/"
The image cuts off there.
The third one is a continuation of the first one. It reads "he has a fake british "work accent", which comes from the DM of the campaigns lack of ability to keep up a british accent.
kravitz initially wanted to be an orchestra conductor, but pivoted career paths for some reason! hes also a complete cringefail in my opinion and i love him for that.
he is in a canon gay relationship with one of the main characters of taz (taako) and they are... ADORABLE
anyways please please please vote my boy im so insane abt him"
The fourth and final one is a from TAZ itself. It shows Kravitz, a black man in a shirt and tie with a vest, talking to another character, Taako. Taako has blue skin, blonde hair, and is wearing a shirt and vest with a ribbon around his neck. Taako asks him, "would you like me to whip you up a little dinner?" while leaning on the counter and smiling. Kravitz replies "... This... I'm..." while looking flustered. He puts his hands up and shouts "I'm afraid I came here on business, Taako!" Taako is flipping a spatula and replies, "Oh, good!" In the final frame, Taako has caught the spatula (complete with the word "catch" written above), and is leaning on the counter and smirking at Kravitz. He says, "Cooking is my business." Kravitz is on the left side, smiling. End ID]
Inspired by the inimitable @ultimate-rat-bracket, I raise you another Bastard Animal to fight over: bugs. (For the purpose of this competition, "bugs" will extend beyond the order Hemiptera and will include anything that Seems Like A Bug.)
Some quick ground rules:
All submissions must be, in a physical way, bugs. No cute anime girls with antennae, no humans with "bug energy", just straight-up bugs.
I shouldn't have to say this, but by following this blog, you consent to seeing pictures of bugs on your dashboard. If you don't want to see bugs, don't follow.
If using someone else's art to accompany your submission, make sure you have permission to use it.
Don't be a dick. No spamming submissions, no angry messages if your submission doesn't make it into the bracket, no anti-propaganda, etc.
Both the definition of "bug" and the scope of the contest are being kept deliberately vague. Interpret it however you want!
Rules:
🪲 All submissions must be, in a physical way, bugs. No cute anime girls with antennae, no humans with "bug energy", just straight-up
