Welcome to the Bots with Great Names Tournament!
We’ve all seen a bot with a great username that followed us, and before blocking and reporting, took a moment, or perhaps a screenshot, to appreciate their names.
So. They should fight.
Submissions are open here!
(tagging for exposure)

round 1 side 8a
CHLOE THE CHOCOLATE LAB VS TESSA THE COCKAPOO!
on the left we have chloe the chocolate lab, described by the submitter as: "This is my dad's dog Chloe. Chloe is a very bad girl. Chloe likes to show affection by putting her teeth on you. When Chloe wags her tail, she wags her whole body. Chloe has to eat from one of those puzzle bowls so she doesn't choke herself. Chloe thinks she's a lap dog despite being something like 80 lbs and loves to stomp all over people and bring them blankets (which she then chews on). Once at Christmas she tried to run away with a knife my dad gave me. In the attached picture, you can see her chewing up an Elf on the Shelf inspired toy while my dad chanted "SNITCHES GET STITCHES" at her. Best of all she keeps my dad company. He gets lonely without a dog. I love Chloe."
on the right we have tessa the cockapoo (cocker spaniel/poodle mix), described by the submitter as: "Tessa can be a grumpy old lady with strangers, but she’s very sweet with her family. Her favorite activities are belly rubs and getting the mail."
which dog is the best? you decide:
chloe the chocolate lab
tessa the cockapoo
both dogs are the best
LET'S FUCKIN GOOOOOO!
CHLOE IS MY DAD'S DOG, YOU GOTTA VOTE FOR HER.
If you vote for Chloe and she wins this round I'll show you her baby pictures.
INTRODUCING: Bracket of sapient locations!!
AI-run space ships, magically alive fortresses, any fictional building or place people can exist on/within that is also a character of its own.
Never run a bracket before and have no idea what I’m doing but I’m going to give this a shot and hope it goes well.
Animals so gigantically huge you can live on them don’t count if they’re just living their animal lives. Submissions must demonstrate some degree of self-awareness/ability to plan at the very least.
Characters on the list already cause I just really like them, ok:
The Distortion (The Magnus Archives)
Hera (Wolf 359)
The Scholomance (Naomi Novik’s Scholomance books)
Lovelace (Becky Chambers’ Wayfarer series)
Please submit characters via the ask box and please provide:
Character name
Pronouns
Media they’re from
Any fun facts or personality details you feel like!

Welcome all, to the fuck-you-up music bracket!
Ever had a song you can't get out of your head, a song that strips you down to your very being and leaves you with nothing? A song that you project onto your angstiest of blorbos? A song that hits you smack where you live? Or how about a song that you just really enjoy?
Then this tournement is for you! Here you can submit your favourite song that fucks you up the most, and battle it out to see which ballard will be named the ultimate fuck-you-up song of tumblr!
Submission Rules
Submissions will stay open for a week, but if I get a crazy amount of submissions, then it'll close sooner.
Alternatively, if I don't get as many, I might leave it open longer so there's a good amount :)
This probably goes without saying by this point, but don't do multiple re-submissions of the same song. It just makes the sorting process so much more difficult for me
Yes, you can submit songs from musicals and TV shows. However, I won't be including more than 2-4 songs from each media, depending on how long that particular soundtrack is.
Song must be at least remotely fuck-you-up-ish. You must be able to justify its place within the tournement
Instrumentals are allowed
You can rant a bit about whatever blorbo you may project the song onto. It'll help me understand it better
You're allowed to submit a song by a problematic artist, however I am not in control of how quickly that gets voted off
Propaganda is allowed and encouraged! No slander though
Submissions close on Friday 26th of May at 5.00pm (UK time)
If there's any problems with the form or if you have any questions, send an ask! :)

Welcome to the Super Serpent Smackdown!
Oh boy, another Tumblr contest!
Please note that I’m loosely defining “serpents” as “long noodle-shaped reptile with 2 or less limbs” so sea serpents, coatls, nagas, and the like are allowed!
Submit your favorite serpents here! https://forms.gle/uAjFnRiKg6oKSjhk6

The Final Four
The Matches:
The German Mud Wizard vs. Ged of Earthsea
Merlin vs. Ms. Frizzle
The Final Four:
The German Mud Wizard: Initially submitted only 2 times, the German mud wizard/monk has become a surprise favorite to win the competition, defeating Critical Role's German dirt wizard Caleb Widogast by over 1,000 votes.
Ged: The only POC to make it to the final eight*, Ged has shown himself to be a strong competitor, with a consistent fanbase of voters whose enthusiastic support and propaganda have allowed him to topple Gandalf the Grey.
Merlin: Although there were 7 Merlins entered into the competition, Sword in the Stone Merlin is the last one standing. With his quirky outfits and modern humor, he defeated fan-favorites Big Hat Logan and M.Rasmodius, as well as the literary behemoth that is the Discworld fandom.
Ms. Frizzle: Although some voters initially argued that she should be in a witch bracket instead, Ms. Frizzle has proved herself a wizard with her academia-based magic, flashy outfits, and pursuit of knowledge, and remains the last woman in the competition*.
*Caveat: The German mud wizard's gender and race are unknown
Updated brackets below the break:
girl genius bracket!
a poll for smart girls in media. this is a very loose definition intentionally! have fun with it!
fictional characters only, please!
girls only! cis or trans ^_^ terfs explode
don't use acronyms in submissions! full names please!
please add a few sentences about your girl, as i might not know who you're talking about!
there are no predetermined characters, and 24 slots.
submissions can be turned in here! i'm quite a busy person, but i hope to close submissions by around may 25th depending on how quick stuff comes in. the more submissions a character has, the more likely they are to be in the bracket.
may the smartest girl win!

PLEASE SUBMIT BARB FROM SAF SHE DESERVES THE WORLD
do you like dogs? do you know a dog? would you like to share the dog with the whole wide world? do you want to know who the best dog in the whole world is? well good news, now you can! this is a tumblr bracket created with the intention of showing off irl dogs, and voting to see who the best dog is! the rules are as follows:
it has to be a real dog. like dog actors, pet dogs, etc, etc. fictional dogs are great but this bracket is intended to show off real dogs!
you can submit as many dogs as you please!
please include the dogs breed if possible! this will help differentiate between dogs with the same name! if you don’t know the dogs breed, i will just put them down as a mixed breed :)
submissions will be open until the end of the month or until i decide i’ve received enough, whichever comes first!
let’s have fun and be kind (i am looking at you small dog haters <3)! here’s the form!
this poll was inspired by @irlcats-bracket! go check them out as well <3
i haven’t received too many submissions thus far, so i will be extending the deadline out a bit until may 11th! also as a note, please don’t submit your pictures via instagram! i do not have an instagram, nor do i have a desire to make one, so i cannot see any pictures submitted this way!
i feel it is worth noting, i do plan to include an option to vote for both dogs! i understand it can be hard to pick the best dog because all dogs are the best, so hopefully this will make things easier for you guys <3
just a reminder: submissions close tomorrow!! be sure to submit your dogs before then if you plan to <3
uh, hey guys. so my country is having conflicts rn and there may be a nationwide power outage soon, so if there's radio silence for a bit, keep that in mind. hopefully there wont be but yk
Reminder to send love and hugs to this poll runner because they do this poll for free and are a human being and do not deserve hate! Especially for things out of their control! Go support them and send them love!
you guys make me so unbelievably happy i swear<3 ly all
