Submissions are now open. Please see more details here
Trigger tag list - at the moment outlines NSFW tags but will cover other tags soonish
Tag directory - A key to the tags I use as well as ways to browse by category or the month the poll was originally posted.
Please follow @pick-an-item-poll as they're continuing to post polls where you choose an item
If you want to follow the original blog's new poll blog, it's @hear-me-out-poll
What is this blog?
Basically I'm trying to (manually) reblog everything from their blog to this blog to create a more permanent archive once which-item-poll deactivates the original blog. I'm doing this because tumblr's search functions are notoriously useless for finding specific posts and many posts get entirely lost without a blog's archive page. Additionally, this preserves the tags that contain the information about the items, most notably the websites where they can/could be found.
Once the archive is complete and posted, we'll see where this goes from there.
@which-item-poll if you want me to delete a specific post or a couple that I re-blogged from you please ask me and I will. (Even after you've deleted the blog, since I know your main)
About the Archivist
You can call me Arc (not my name, but it works for now), I'm non-binary and my pronouns are she/they! I'm not the original owner of which-item-poll. I'm typically slow to respond to messages, but will take any suggestions into consideration even if I haven't responded to you yet.
(* these months still need their category tags reviewed and possibly edited)
Needs to be queued/drafted:
Anything posted by OP before they deactivate.
Updates
Everything from the original blog as of 18 January 2025 EST has been posted! Thank you for your patience and I hope you enjoyed the throwbacks.
I still need to adjust the category tags I added to posts for browsing to make sure that they're all accurate, but other than that the archiving is essentially complete.
So now that the archiving stage is completed, I'm going to potentially create a new version of the pinned/introduction post later on. The focus will be on correcting those tags and finalising the tag directory rather than a new intro post.
Submissions for new polls are now open. If thats the kind of thing you're interested in, see more details here.
Previous updates under the cut
Update: My autotagger wasn't working, which I found out about 1200 posts into this. Currently working on restoring tags to the posts already reblogged. I've managed to fix my autotagger but I had to clear the queue and drafts. (I didn't want to do it... but must to preserve my sanity.... and more importantly my wrist) Once I've got the tags back on the January posts (manually) I'll be able to fill the queue and drafts back up with the original tags intact.
Update: Everything that was posted had the tags added back on. Resuming queuing posts (and I've confirmed that the autotagger is copying the tags). Starting the queue again since there's enough in there to run while I sleep.
Update: I have been misspelling February in all of my tags. I will fix this and continue to fix this as they get posted from the queue.
Update: All the miss-spelt tags have been corrected
Update: I made the pinned post nicer to read! I also added some information.
Update 15/12/24 EST: If I run the queue at 50 posts a day, it will take 45 days to post everything from the original blog to this blog.
19/12/24 7pm EST - Taking a very short break from working on the archive as I have my final assignment due for a university course due tonight. (in about 10 hours in my local time). I should be back to doing stuff with it tomorrow. :)
Update 21/12/24: I'm back to it and working on adding tags to posts before making a directory again. For now, All current archival posts and ones that are in the queue now have the tag #which-item-poll-archive
Update: I have lost my draft about new submissions somewhere :(
Since it was a majority yes vote on the survey about new polls, I'm currently considering how I'd go about doing that.
NSFW items are on their way to the top of the queue. Here's a post about the tags to block if you don't wanna see them! :)
The tag directory is completed! It can be found at the top of this post! There's also a new survey about it. Is it too long?
I'm also going to try and post some things manually to get that time down, but can't guarantee that I can do this a lot due to things happening IRL.
Needs to be queued/drafted:
Any posts remaining in which-item-poll's queue or any other post made between time of update (4:47am on the 15th of December EST) and when OP decides to deactivate the blog.
Pretty close to queuing everything now. Going to include some of the repeat posts from the month of December that were meant to let people know the blog was deactivating ect. But I'm not going to include every single reblog of them. Just for the sake of slightly smoother browsing whilst still backing up the posts.
I found my draft about opening submissions :) Now I just need to edit it so it's coherent.
I've finished queuing and drafting existing posts and are now waiting to archive any future posts between now and when the blog is deactivated.
Everything is now in the queue!
17/01/25 EST - Days left until completed archive: 3 days at 50 posts a day.
The tag directory is completed! It can be found at the top of this post! Since it was a majority vote to not change it, I'm going to leave it as is for now. I'll run another survey on if it's too long once I've pretty much completed it.
I had a lot happen at the start of the year and I'm just recovering now. So I'm going to check of there's any submissions for new polls this weekend :)
This blog will be shutting down in about 48 hours!
Please go follow the archive account @which-item-poll-archive & the blog that wants to replace this one @pick-an-item-poll! (Any other copycat blogs are more than welcome to pick up the torch too, obviously!)
Thank you to everyone who followed this blog for the short time it was around, and I'm sorry it had to end💔🫂
Genuinely thank you for running the blog. I stopped counting at some point during the archival process but more that 2000 polls in a year is a lot of work to put together.
It's a simple and elegant idea and it was a lot of fun to follow the blog and window shop with everyone.

Thanks for your patience everyone. Everything from the original blog (unless requested otherwise) can now be found here.
I'm still going to be working on adjusting the category tags that I added to posts to make browsing easier, but unless anything new is posted, the archiving is essentially finished.

SUBMISSIONS ARE CLOSED
DO NOT SUBMIT:
Irl minors, irl animals, or anything nonfictional that is morally wrong. (Ex: irl incest, serial killers/mass shooters)
NO lolis or shotas. I'm pro fiction, but I'm just not comfortable with that on here. (Chibi-ish non-humanoid characters like animal crossing villagers or binding of isaac characters are fine.)
That's it. This blog is meant to be pretty shock value heavy, so keep that in mind going forward.
READ BEFORE SUBMITTING ANYTHING:
PLEASE add images for niche characters or super specific things. I use google images to search for the submissions, so if its not extremely clear i will probably throw it out.
DON'T PUT LINKS IN YOUR SUBMISSION. Just add the media off anon.
The characters don't all need to be physically "unattractive," their bad personalities can also play into it as well.
This blog relies heavily on submissions, so please consider submitting something if you want!
If you submitted something and you're wondering where it is, DON'T WORRY! It's more than likely in the queue, it's just going to be a very long time until it's posted (3-4 months).
I will either add your submission to the queue or post it asap, it's random.
If you have any questions, feel free to send an ask or check out #submission info!
Anon hate won't be responded to!
There won't ever be any options other than "heard" and "nah."
I don't read replies on posts as of December 2024
Posts will fluctuate between "heard", "nah" and "HEARD", "NAH" for a while.
Filter the tag "not a poll" if you only want polls on your feed!
I reblog donation posts here sometimes, if you don't want to see that, filter the "donations" tag!

If money was no object and you were given the chance, which of two objects would you choose?
This is not an advertising blog and I am not personally selling any of these or making money off any of this, this is more like a pretend store.
If there is anything you’d like to purchase in real life, most things have been found on Amazon (unless stated otherwise) and should be easy to find for yourself.
Please let me know if something should be tagged but isn't.
Main blog is @steampunk-swift-arrow
