Every few weeks there’s a day where the Finals get really popular and I get 99+ notes in an afternoon. Highlight of my month

I love Tumblr’s anonymity, but there are times where I wish that there was more of a connection between the website and real life. For example, I’m moving to a new city and looking for flatmates, but there’s no good way of finding people who also want to spend hours talking about character analysis on tv shows.

No succession?

Succession lost to Digimon in round 2

Round 2, Week 1: Match 13 of 32

Propaganda as submitted by YOU, in initial entries, tags, and reblogs: Digimon: "Digimon in general has a huge focus on characters and how

I’m thinking of doing a couple of bonus polls, and I’m curious which shows you all think are considered honorary Superwholock members

[tmblrsfavshow]

I propose, after the main bracket is over, a three way SuperWhoLock poll.

Definitely

This has been such an understanding, and despite it not being over yet, I want to tell you how much I appreciate the hard work you’ve put into this! I’ve been having so much fun!

Avatar: The Last Airbender

Beaten so far: Heartstopper, Mythbusters, The Golden Girls, Animaniacs, Teen Titans, Sailor Moon

"In this essay I will … ATLA hits so many themes and does them WELL. (okay but short list, everything from going into family dynamics, relationships, loss/grief, structural oppression, racism, sexism, industrialism, genocide, cultural practices, etc. The world building and characterization is amazing and cannot be expressed in short comments.)"

"It's the quenchiest"

"Beautiful art, creative world building, complex themes, and the best executed redemption arc I've ever seen"

"atla is the show of the century"

"atla is one of the best shows period, not just kids shows. It is so well written and the characters have so much depth and grow so much"

"voting atla because it has had an iron grip on my mind and soul for 18 years now"

"Can I just submit photos of the cabbage guy for propaganda?"

"this is the atla web site"

The Muppet Show:

Beaten so far: Orphan Black, How It's Made, Little Witch Academia, Shaun the Sheep, Pokémon, Wallace & Gromit

"Miss Piggy"

"the muppet show has like 20 different characters that are very gender, so like how can you vote against such sheer quantity?"

"Muppets OBVIOUSLY"

"The muppets show theme IMMEDIATELY started playing in my head so I think I legally have to vote for it now."

"there’s no fucking question here"

"ITS TIME TO PLAY THE MUSIC. ITS TIEM TO LIGHT THE LIGHTS"

"If you haven't seen the original Muppet Show from the 70's it's just amazing. The creative effects they were able to do with puppetry & the limited technology they had back in the day is really underappreciated & holds up amazingly. It's just really nice & wholesome entertainment with some silly, goofy ol' Muppets that will end up giving you gender envy. (I mean look at the Electric Mayhem I wish I looked that cool)"

"Ms Piggy sings a duet with Elton John I mean what else could you want"

Fullmetal Alchemist (all iterations):

Beaten so far: Andor, Star Trek: TOS, The Addams Family, Ninjago, Gravity Falls, Phineas and Ferb

"Not only has it given us some of the best memes in tumblr history. But it's a damn good show tackling the intersection of fascism, religious corruption, disability rights, and the power of revolution"

"Has the single most satisfying ending in any series I ever watched"

"Has to be one of the greatest shows of all time and one of my top favorites"

"FMA:B one of the best animes (and mangas) in history and you can't change my mind"

"It Better win or Imma steal all the chocolate (I'd do it anyways but Principles and all thar)"

"FMA wins in my heart every. single. time."

"It's one of the best shows of all time (both 2013 and FMA:B) and deserves it"

"full metal has some of the best writing and I base my romances around the way they are written here"

"sorry [opponent] cannot fucking touch fullmetal alchemist are you kidding its fullmetal alchemist"

"rooting for FMA because it was my spring/summer 2020 hyperfixation and possibly the best anime ever made (or at least the best shonen)"

"hiromu arakawa did so much research in preparation for the project and IT SHOWS"

Revolutionary Girl:

Beaten so far: Cutthroat Kitchen, Glee, House M.D., Star Trek Voyager, Doctor Who, Scooby Doo

"its a really compelling and symbolism-rich show about cycles of abuse, homophobia, patriarchy, gender roles, societal narratives and what it means to operate within the bounds of them, and coming of age and realizing you’re gay. it has incredibly striking visuals and music. also i love lesbians and anthy is such a character of all time."

"vote utena if you care about unhinged lesbians and sillygirls"

"the narratives THE FUCKING NARRATIVES"

"vote utena because it makes you feel like you're being microwaved"

"wlw existentialism wins"

"utena literally helped shape me so i gotta go with rgu"

"its a highly complicated allegorical hellscape of symbolism that highlights patriarchal structures unlike anything ive ever seen before"
