PLEASE DO NOT BUY SQUISHMALLOWS IRL. If you do want to still purchase Squishmallows, buying them secondhand should still be okay. I made this blog before the CEO of Squishmallows made it aware that he is financially supporting Israel. More information/resources will be provided under the cut.
I will begin posting resources at the bottom of each poll. Any additional posts related to this will be tagged with #SquishBoycott ; while this is an important matter to keep up to date on and I urge you to continue your research/keep up to date on the matter as a whole outside of Squishmallows, I understand muting this tag for the sake of mental health, as this blog was originally created for fun away from the cruelties of the world. As a note this is not a part of the official boycott.
As of right now, I am not postponing the tournament but am open to doing so as the matter progresses.
This is a tournament to determine Tumblr's favorite squishmallow, inspired by accounts such as @webkinztournament, including all 2,000+ Squishmallows as seen on the wikipedia (which can be viewed here).

Current Round
Round 2 will begin November 27 @ 12 A.M. EST and be posted every hour. Each poll will run for one week. Specific schedule for each matchup can be found here.

Exclusions
The only squishmallows that will not be considered for the tournament are licensed squads, unnamed squish, and any squish without a link on the wiki page. This last decision is due to the fact that I cannot find images or information on these squishes if they do not have a wiki page. A list will be provided here of all unincluded squish. If anyone would like to send a picture of said squish to be included, I will gladly do so! Otherwise, they basically don't exist anywhere I can find on the internet and will not be considered. Unnamed squishmallows and licensed squads will not be included regardless.
Pairings
For round 1, each squishmallow was randomly paired by spinning a wheel (this took actually forever). From there, winners will move on the face off the winner of the next pair, and then the winner of the next pair, and so on in a bracket. More information on each squish will be provided once there are less squish per round.
Ties
In the case of an even 50/50 tie, I (the host) will ask 3 irl friends that have not voted to break the tie.
Propaganda
You are welcome to send propaganda for your favorite squish via the ask box, by reblogging the poll, or @'ing this account. I will do my best to promote said propaganda on this page, tagged with #propaganda. Overall, please BE KIND. This is a tournament for fun and not meant to cause actual discourse.

#Announcement - Poll Announcements
#SOT2023 - Squishmallow of Tumblr Poll
#Propaganda - Propaganda for Squish
#Not Poll - Other posts, likely reblogs. Will be used in this beginning week to promote the blog before voting begins, in attempt to get a bigger sample size
Additional tags will be tags for each round, such as SOT2023R1 (Squishmallow of Tumblr 2023 Round 1), the name of each 'mallow, and #Squishmallow #Squishmallows on one poll a day to avoid flooding (there are a lot of 'mallows). #tournament poll and #poll will also be used for sample size, as well as some other additional tags at least in the beginning. However, these are all the main ones to be used for navigations!
This is a poll blog inspired by @webkinztournament and @doyouhavethisplush and combines the two concepts.
Hello! I use ne/nem pronouns and am the creator of the @the-ultimate-squish (currently on hiatus). I would like to come back to it someday, but in the mean time I wanted to create a more laxed poll account with my first love, Webkinz!
No need to pit them against each other here; what I want to know: did you/do you have that Webkinz?
Each poll will have the same 3-4 options and some information on each Webkinz below the poll! Feel free to reblog with pictures, names, and why you love (or hate) that specific Webkinz!
I plan to go through each and every Webkinz, going by rough order of release date. Lil' Kinz, Mazin' Hamsters, virtual pets, and Zums will all be included in their own polls.
All my information comes from webkinzguide and the webkinz wiki.
I currently do not have a set schedule. I will try to work up a queue, but I get very busy irl and don't want to feel pressured like I did on my previous blog. My goal is at least one post a day but I make no promises.
If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me an ask!
Poll tags will be listed as follows:
#webkinz #[webkinz name] #[webkinz category if applicable]
Any other tags will be listed as #announcement, #text post, and/or #reblog
Hello. I'm not dead. I'm sorry if I concerned anyone and then kinda disappeared out of nowhere. My mental health has just been bad lately and on top of that I'm working on my masters and have a part time job. So this has just kinda fallen on the backburner.
I'd like to revist someday, maybe once summer hits and I'm done with my degree, but for now I am on hiatus.
