@the-shape-showdown
Just coming on here to say as of now, my tournaments are postponed until further notice due to mental and physical health reasons. Love y'all, stay safe, drink water. Maybe one day I'll be ready enough to do it again, but that isn't going to be today (or even anytime soon)
Oh, uh, by the way, it's my birthday. Whole year older and that shit
For my aro siblings 😎

Hope you're okay! I was worried that I'd missed all the Shapes and wouldn't be able to campaign for the Mobius loop or the other one I submitted which I forgot- Very excited to see all the Shapes!!!!!
I'm doing alright now :)
And yeah,send in as much propaganda as you want. I love to see it (especially because I don't know quite a few shapes on here, I don't do geometry I'm just a tumblr user who likes circles)
SHAPES!
Hi y'all, this is Elliot, the admin of this tournament as well as @littleguy-scuffle @the-shape-showdown and @weird-amazon-fight. I've been putting these tournaments off for a while now. It's been a while since I've even posted here. My life has been really crazy and stressful since I decided to start these tournaments, from health issues to family problems and a few losses. I haven't really had the energy to do much besides shit post on my main blog (@gayraccoonthing ). I'm not going to lie. Despite how fun it is to run these, it gets stressful.
However, I have made the decision to try and start up again, I'll be doing my best to handle this and all my other tournament blogs. I'm just here to say I'm alive and will try my absolute best to keep working on these.
If I can just ask you guys to send in some asks every now and then, it keeps my work ethic up and gives me a reason to keep going with this. It doesn't have to be some well thought out question, it can just be some random shit post you think I'd laugh at (I probably will, let's be honest)
If I stop working on this for longer than you'd like, yell at me in my ask box (please, I'm not joking) I do enjoy working on these I just have really bad procrastination issues.
If you're a mutual from my main blog and would like to support me here, don't be afraid to come over and send me some shit.
Some statuses for all my tournaments:
@littleguy-scuffle is currently in the process of seeding
@weird-amazon-fight IS STILL TAKING SUBMISSIONS. It has been for a while, but if you'd like to support my tournament for all weird online shopping products, go and submit stuff please.
@the-shape-showdown is currently seeding I believe
@artsupplies-battle is trying to make the bracket and make polls
Thank you for all the love and support I've gotten for these blogs, I'll try and make this worthwhile
-Sincerely, The Admin AKA Elliot <3

Funny bobble headed leopard plate, an old man's head, and contained Grimace, from Mission Thrift in Lethbridge, AB
grimace cum jar
People can do whatever they want on the internet I'm not in the place to stop them, but some days I genuinely wonder what pushed someone to the brink, so far, far enough to write such heinous things and let people see them with their own two eyes.
I agree. I hate myself
No! That's not what I said, love yourself. Embrace your words, grimace cum jar is a poetic masterpiece, grimace would be proud of you.
okay I love myself now. and I love grimace cum jar
YES, love yourself and love grimace cum jar.
I'm gonna get grimace cum jar tattooed on my forehead now
Go for it, I think I'd look so cool. I made like, an image for your tattoo you could use, free of credit
You could probably clean up some of the lines. I really like that comic sans on there, really brings the depth and emotion into him. I tried to add in as many as his deformities as possible. This 100% is something I would want permanently on my body.
aww thankies!! going to the tattooist first thing in the morning
It's That Time!
Time to pit legends against each other! Throw musical tastes against each other and see what you the people have declared the best Persona song!
This poll will begin running on August 1st, 2023, and will keep going until we have a winner!
RULES
You can submit as many songs as you want, but only songs from the Persona series are eligible. Songs from Catherine, SMT, or Tokyo Mirage Sessions#FE are ineligible for the purpose of this poll.
Colors Flying High (Persona 5 The Royal) and The Road Less Taken (Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth) are guaranteed a spot. You do not need to submit them.
Here is the form!
Inspiration @s under the cut!
Go do this!
Hey y’all should know that @/mysterycharacterbracket has revealed themselves to be a terf (among other things….agrees with jkr at least on that, so who knows what else) tonight. I already blocked them so I’m not gonna be the one to get screenshots, but if you need to see proof go ahead and look, or ask someone you trust more than me to look. Anyway this is a good time to say that a nonbinary trans person runs this blog and transphobes, racists, antisemites, etc are shot on sight
trans poll runners rise up!!! this blog is run by a trigender trans person and any of those op listed can fuck off and unfollow me as well ^_^
this blog is run by a genderfluid girlie pop! fuck you transphobes >:(
Trans masc poll runner here, transphobes can get the fuck off this blog and fuck off into the abyss
I'm gonna try and start seeding n shit, after this week. I'm on v a c a t i o n
submissions are closed but i need everyone to see this cursed triangle
That's a triangle? I hate how you know it's off but you don't know how
Welcome to the Gemstone Bracket!
Rules:
Be civil. It's an internet poll about pretty rocks.
I'm not a scientist, and can't really say what qualifies as a gemstone aside from a quick Google search. I'm probably going to include any pretty rock that could be argued to be a gemstone.
Matchups will be in alphabetical order because I'm autistic and things need to be organized.
You can make multiple submissions for different gems, but please don't submit the same thing more than once.
Submissions will be open until I say so (okay, I'll have a more concrete date later, but I want to see how many are coming in before setting that).
Submit your pretty rocks here
Inspired by brackets like @iconic-post-bracket, @best-non-english-word-torunament, @school-of-all-time, @the-shape-showdown, @ultimate-word-tournament, @best-sharks-bracket, @best-animal-bracket, etc.
GO DO THIS I LOVE PRETTY ROCKS

Welcome to the best non-english word tournament!
What is this?
This is another bracket tournament, in which we will decide the best word. However, this tournament is also dedicated to linguistic diversity and promoting languages that aren't English, since they are less visible on the internet at large. This means that words in English are banned from competing to make room for the other 6500-7500 known languages (depending on how you count). To avoid other large languages taking over the poll (both counting native speakers and languages the average tumblr user is likelier to know) there will be a limit of four words from every language. Join me and learn new cool words in many different languages as well as vote for your favourite!
Who are you?
I'm a linguistics student and language nerd from Sweden who took lots of inspiration from @ultimate-word-tournament but wanted to focus on language diversity in words. I'll also sneak in some posts about the language situation in the world because it's a fascinating topic. My native language isn't English, so please be kind if my posts are worded weirdly sometimes
What makes a word good?
There are many ways that a word can be good, but here are some examples: it sounds good/feels good to say, the script looks nice, it denotes an interesting concept, it denotes a concept you like, it does something interesting grammarwise or soundwise, it's funny, it's an interesting/fun compound, it has an interesting/fun etymology, it just has good vibes... The possibilities are endless and a judgement probably consists of some combinations of these or others
Rules:
There will be 64 words and a maximum of four words per language
No words in English, but loanwords from English are allowed with good motivation
No conlangs (I love them but the focus is on natural language)
Words from signed languages are allowed and encouraged as long as you can provide an explanatory picture or film for the sign
Words from pidgins are allowed
Words from extinct languages are allowed
No made up words (if it isn't/wasn't used in the language it doesn't belong, neither does words only your family/friend group uses, but slang words are allowed)
Every submitter is allowed to submit a maximum of two words from the same language based on the honor system
Submissions:
Submissions were open until the bracket was filled and are now closed
I will need to do some selection if I recieve more than four submissions from a language and this selection will mostly be based on who submitted first, with exceptions for good motivations or difficulty finding information on a word (like IPA transcription). I will try my best to research all words and languages, but since I'm hoping for small languages it might be difficult to find. There might also be some selection based on including more languages and areal diversity if I get some really good ones between the 64th submission and closing the form, but we'll see.
Some guidelines:
If you're able, please provide an IPA transcription for your word (the International Phonetic Alphabet has a sign for each sound used in any language, which makes transcription of exact pronounciation possible)
Please provide a short motivation on what makes your word good
You will need to provide a translation/explanation of the word in English since that is the language this tournament is conducted in for ease of communication and reach. If the exact translation of a word is part of what makes the word good, please provide that too
Have fun! I can't wait to see your words. If you just want to vote, go ahead and follow me in the meantime
I will tag some other tournaments to hopefully make this reach people who know interesting languages and good words in them. Please consider doing the same if you want this tournament to be as good as possible.
@ultimate-word-tournament @ultimate-sentence-tournament @words-for-cat-bracket @ultimate-poll-tournament @titlesbracket @tournamentdirectory @eurovision-song-bracket @the-shape-showdown @fuckingstupidbracket
Go do this!
The submissions form is now closed! Thank you to everyone who submitted their shapes to make this possible
Submissions might be closed tomorrow so if you have any last minute submissions please put them in :)
