Mods favorite moments of round 3:

This tag (@akaikami-cherryblossom), which I initially had no context for and was subsequently horrified:

@itsjustevil, unsure of whether or not Yami was wearing a shirt

This (@slimepack), to which I audibly said “excuse me what”:

The way I nearly threw my phone reading the results of Batman vs. Pascal

Related, this self inflicted injury (@ryukogo please tell me you’re okay I’ll worry if you don’t):

This common sentiment (@eggs-can-draw and everyone who replied to it are you okay):

With that done, onto some new business:

I’m going to take a break before round 4 and the next set of bonus rounds. I think I tackled round 3 a little too quickly to be healthy for my mental state.

On top of that, I have a job interview tomorrow! Hopefully that goes well, and if it does, I’ll need time to figure out my new schedule, and where this will fall into it. No matter what, this tournament will continue! I just need some time to figure out when.

I’ve left my main all over this bracket. If you want to stalk me, go right on ahead.

See y’all soon!

Alright then Wrightworth divorce bonus round at the end of round 3 because WHAT IS GOING ON

Round 3, Match 25: Phoenix Wright vs. Dalinar Kholin

Submitted kids:

Phoenix Wright: Confirmed; Pearl Fey, Trucy Wright. Arguably; Maya Fey, Apollo Justice, Athena Cykes

Dalinar Kholin: Kaladin, Lift, Jasnah, Elhokar, possibly Szeth. Also sort of adopted his nephew's son (said nephew died and he took it upon himself to raise the kid)

Propaganda under the cut!

Phoenix Wright:

1. “Canon says he adopted Trucy. I will argue he’s also adopted Apollo for… various reasons, and if he’s adopted one lawyer why not adopt another? I can’t imagine he’d look at her and the dad instincts… didn’t kick in. He’s also an older brother figure to Maya if that means anything here”

Link to the rest here!

Dalinar Kholin:

“He's constantly pulling evey magic user in the world under his wing except his daughter in law which he doesn't like. It's funny

Adopted Kaladin despite Kaladin having living, loving parents

Adopted Jasnah despite Jasnah being a queen and 30-something

Adopted Lift as much as anyone could adopt Lift

Didn't adopt Szeth but Szeth adopted him.

Canonically have a great ass.”

Hubristic Assholes Tourney Round 1 Part 3b

Gregory House (House MD) vs Starscream (Transformers)

(This poll is inclusive of any version of Starscream)

Propaganda below cut (Beware spoilers!)

House

A medical genius, but when he's bored he ruins his own life, and he's ALWAYS bored.

Starscream

He's an egomaniac and he gets humbled constantly because his schemes to overthrow his boss never fucking work; he gets called a stiletto-wearing creep at some point in transformers prime, and he threw his boss out the window a few times. he's the smartest idiot and also he's killed many

He consistently attempts to overthrow Megatron and then gets beat up for it, but mainly I’m submitting him for what he does in the movie. Okay so Megatron is injured yeah. He and a bunch of other decepticons are traveling in a shuttle but they gotta get rid of some weight to go faster They toss out some of the more generic guys. And then Starscream somehow manages to convince everybody that he should throw Megs out too LATER Starscream is throwing himself a coronation and Megatron (now Galvatron) shows up and murders him Also he does become a ghost and then manages to trick Unicron (robot Satan) into making him a new body Transformers Prime he also manages to fuck up. He quit the Decepticons because Megs almost killed him because of a failed assassination attempt. Autobots end up finding him and are gonna give him a chance for redemption and whatnot. Arcee is the one guarding him. Arcee has lost two partners, one from Airachnid, second from Starscream. Starscream only knows about the one he killed, Arcee does not know that he killed him. They’re talking about their shared hatred for Airachnid and Arcee is like “she killed my partner” and Starscream, an absolute idiot, goes “SHES TAKING CREDIT FOR THAT NOW TOO?” Arcee almost kills him, he almost kills Arcee, gets away. Bro is now factionless Mostly submitting for the g1 stuff 👍 He is a horrid asshole and I love him very much; Starscream is consistently dealing with the consequences of his own actions Here he is, almost killing Megatron and becoming leader, then getting murdered by Megatron at his coronation https://youtu.be/qaNWmd_QyA0?si=CXpM1X5_j5g6ZacI He then becomes a ghost. And then. Tricks robot Satan into giving him a new body. Even though he is way more powerful as a ghost. He is so awful and I love him

Unfortunately, as a dedicated fannibal, every time I see this notification from this blog:

I think it's gonna say "serial killer" even though I know that's not what it is 😂

…

…sorry about that? (Not really, that’s hilarious)

#not a poll #mod speaks

[serialadoptersbracket]

@itsjustevil Good question.

Off the bat, I want to say no—only because I feel like being able to say “this character beat Batman” is an honor I can only confer onto one person.

(Heh, bat puns.)

But as always, I’ll leave it to tumblr’s wisdom:

Ok I know the new pfp is kinda blurry, but I actually put some work into it (read: I slapped two Snapchat filters on it), so I’m kinda happy with how it turned out.

Congrats again to Pascal and NieR: Automata for turning this entire tournament on its head!!!

Round 3, Match 32: Iroh vs. Splinter

Submitted kids:

Iroh: Gaang

Splinter: Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, Michelango and, depending on the version: April O'Neil, Casey Jones and others

Propaganda under the cut!

No propaganda has been submitted for Iroh

Splinter:

“Splinter, seeing four baby turtles in some ooze: is anyone gonna adopt them or?

Splinter also starts off either as a human or a rat before turning into a rat mutant depending on the adaption, so in some versions this random street rat has paternal instincts so strong he adopts these four random turtles and raises them to teenagehood and in the process teaches himself how to talk, the skills needed to raise human-adjacent kids and also teach them ninjutsu. Also has a tendency to adopt any and all friends his sons collect along the way, which often includes former enemies. Dad Of All Time.”

Round 3, Match 31: Sojiro Sakura vs. Kurogane and Fai D’Flourite

Submitted kids:

Sojiro Sakura: Futaba Sakura, Akira Kurusu/Ren Amamiya, and the rest of the phantom thieves tbh

Kurogane and Fai D’Flourite: Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo, Chun'yan, a bunch of one off characters, Sakura and Syaoran a second time (it makes sense in context)

Propaganda under the cut!

Sojiro Sakura:

1. “He's the Hierophant confidant which is already the dad arcana. He has one legitimately adopted daughter (Futaba) and then the moment he hears about a troubled teenager from a customer at his Café he's like "guess I have to take this guy in. Ugh what a pain. Of course I'm doing it." And then when said troubled teenager brings his loud friends over and then his artist friend who doesn't eat a lot and his polite nerd friend and his very polite socialite friend and his murderous bestie Sojiro acts like they're all pests and pretends they don't see him insisting on feeding them all and making them all coffee to taste and stocking up on soft drinks for the one who doesn't like coffee and refusing payment and setting them up with a campervan for their crime road trip and generally being a dad. "This is such a hassle" he says as a token protest as he packs them lunch boxes and threatens cops on their behalf”

2. “He was so cold to the mc in the beginning but really warmed up to him and even protected him from the police and the rest of the team”

3. “Futaba is his best friend's daughter, who he adopted after her mother was murdered by a government conspiracy. Akiren is a random kid who he agreed to take in after he was put on probation, who he lets live in the attic of his cafe. His entire character arc is learning to be a better dad to these wayward troubled children, and in the end, he actually cries when Akiren has to leave to go back to his parents.”

Kurogane and Fai D’Flourite:

1. “These fuckers can't help themself they're just 2 married husbands that adopt every child they see. kurogane starts out a power hungry ninja who gets sent away for killing too much and he drops that shit so quick the moment there is a child. He just starts watching out for the two kids in their group and being homoerotic with Fai. meanwhile Fai joins the group with a very specific agenda that's been like, his entire reason to live for centuries and he ends up deciding to give up on that to save his kids. he literally lets his eye get ripped out in an attempt to get syaoran back. like 90% of their conversations and bonding is about the kids and their wellbeing and both of them calling out the other for being cringe fail and accidentally adopting them while frantically denying they've done the same (then turning around and putting their coat around Sakura or Syaoran because they are getting cold). theyre just slow burn found familynur honour”

2. “#these two did not go through literal hell and back for each other and their found family to lose #traumatised magician/samurai soulmates sweep. please. #Kurogane and Shanks both lost an arm protecting someone in their found family”

3. “#i would say it actually doesn't make all that much sense in context but.”

Round 3, Match 30: Roronoa Zoro vs. Jody Mills

Submitted kids:

Roronoa Zoro: O-Toko, O-Tama, Rika, Michael & Hoichael & the rest of the orphanage

Jody Mills: Claire Novak, Alex Jones, Kaia Nieves, Patience Turner

Propaganda under the cut!

Roronoa Zoro:

“if there is a child in the arc (of any real importance) you can bet that Zoro will bond with them (okay, usually her cause most of them are girls). Hes not the most obvious of the Strawhats for this to happen with, but there are too many instances to ignore.”

Jody Mills:

“They were literally going to make an spin off about her and her "wayward" daughters”

OH MY GOD

Round 3, Match 1: Bruce Wayne vs. Pascal

Submitted kids:

Bruce Wayne: Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Damian and Athanasia al Ghul, Cassandra Cain, Jarro, Stephanie Brown, Barbara Gordon, Terry and Matthew McGinnis, Helena Wayne, Harper and Cullen Row, Duke Thomas (Arguments promised)

Pascal: Village children

Propaganda under the cut!

Bruce Wayne:

1. “Man can't deal with empty nest syndrome and cannot look past an orphan child without adopting them. He takes in Dick when Dick is 12 (he eventually does adopt Dick after Dick is already an adult), after being one of many people to witness Dick's parents die. After Dick went off to do his own thing he met Jason who was living on the streets after his Mom died. After Jason died, Tim shoved his way into Bruce's life saying that Bruce needed a partner in crime solving after Jason's death (Tim still had parents who were alive at this point, they did eventually die and was taken in by Bruce). Cassandra's circumstances I'm not fully clear on but she was raised by her bio dad to be a living weapon and she ran away (from my understanding at least) and Bruce took her in. Duke was taken in after his parents were hospitalized due to a Joker attack and were/are unlikely to recover. Bruce also mentors other children heroes including Barbara Gordon and Stephanie Brown, both are close to his kids and are sometimes seen as under his wing as well, but neither see him as a parent.”

Link to the rest here!

Pascal:

“not putting all of his lore here be of the pg-13 rule but he's this robot who is the sweetest guy imaginable, he is pretty smart cares a lot for his kids (again, cant get TOO into that but he is v/ protective of them) and also is a pacifist who rlly just peace between the androids & machines even tho thats pretty fucking difficult (he even is an ally to the android resistance and trades w/ them frequently!)

from his unit data (because im Bad at describing things lol):

‘A pacifist machine lifeform that despises conflict and strives endlessly for peace with humanity.

This unit possesses incredible intelligence, as well as a deep interest in the history of both humans and machines.’”

So I just watched a couple polls flip by a huge margin within an hour and no major influx of notes.

Does anyone know how to tell if I’m being hit with vote bots?

Additional propaganda for Jawbone O’Shaugnessey:

“He's a former druggie that the intrepid heroes met at a club during an investigation. Instead of fighting him, they offered him a job as guidance counselor at their school. He took the job and, after a bit, began dating fig's mom. Kristen was dating his niece, who lived with him at the time. During the final battle with Kalvaxus, he helped Adaine work through a panic attack and gave her anxiety meds. Those meds have a mechanical advantage too, as she would roll for panic attacks. As mentioned in the notes for this post, he makes a pretty incredible speech. Anyways, Adaine's parents abandon her soon after and jawbone offers her a place to stay, along with Kristen (who moved in with tracker), Fig (who moved in with her mom), and the Barkrocks (who they're sharing the house with). Zayn Darkshadow also lives in the cemetery at Mordred Manor, and they took in Aelwyn before she got herself an apartment. So he does a lot.”

Round 3, Match 26: King Dedede and Meta Knight vs. Jawbone O’Shaughnessey

Submitted kids:

King Dedede and Meta Knight: At least 300 Waddle Dees, Bandana Waddle Dee, Kirby, Sailor Waddle Dee

Jawbone O’Shaughnessey: Tracker O'Shaughnessey, Adaine Abernant, Fig Faeth, Kristen Applebees

Propaganda under the cut!

King Dedede and Meta Knight:

1. “Okay so I know you said try to keep the parents separate but. They are kinda like a package deal. They are like a couple and they share custody over Bandee and Kirby. Dedede probably would've adopted Kirby if Meta Knight didn't get to him first, Meta Knight probably would've adopted Bandee if Dedede didn't get to him first. Also while it isn't canon there's been a point where it seemed like they are gay for each other so. yeah :)”

2, Meta Knight: “He's the most father ever nobody even knows. Literal embodiment of ‘outside; goth girl. Inside; father figure’”

3, Meta Knight: “He didn't choose the father life, it chose him”

Jawbone O’Shaughnessey:

“A lot of the main characters of this story have shit parents, and Jawbone, formerly a drug dealer and bouncer turned high school counselor happily opened his home to all of them.”

Round 3, Match 29: Whitebeard vs. Lance Strongbow

Submitted kids:

Whitebeard: Marco, Portgas D. Ace, Thatch, Izou, Haruta, Deuce, Jozu, Vista, and a bunch more I can’t think of rn

Lance Strongbow: Angry (Kiera) and Red (Catalina)

Propaganda under the cut!

Whitebeard:

1. “His biggest dream in life is to have a family of his own, but how to go about that? Settle down with a wife and have lots of kids? Boring. No, the best way to go about it is to become a pirate, find the most outcasted and lost people you can, and make them your crewmates/sons”

Link to the rest here!

Lance Strongbow:

1. “Lance met the girls when they were forced to steal to survive, and helped mentor and encourage them to pursue alternative options. He also gave himself up to the Baron’s men (along with Eugene) so that the girls would escape. Whenever the girls show up in the series sporadically he consistently acts like a dad, making jokes and later brings the girls some paintings to spruce up their home. They come with him on different adventures. He is also incredibly dad-like when he insists on trusting his “instincts” when they keep getting lost in the tower where they’re supposed to rescue Varian and insists that they are “almost there!” At the end of the series he adopts them and they change their last names to his.”

2. “Okay to be fair it's only these two that Lance adopts but you did say it only had to be *at least* two and their story is so sweet.

Basically Lance is Eugene's (Flynn Rider) best friend from his childhood/teen years, and they were thieves together. When Lance shows up in the show for the first time, he's still a thief, but over the course of the show, Rapunzel and Eugene turn him into an upright citizen.

Angry and Red, much like Lance and Eugene, are orphans who came to the conclusion that they might be better off as thieves. The two girls were revered in the kingdom as The Silent Strikers, and Eugene and Lance are tasked by King Frederic to reform the young girls. Of course gaining their trust and actually helping the girls become good people is a long process, but eventually the girls do turn out for the better, and Lance, a reformed thief himself, decides to adopt the girls at the end of the series.”
