Back by popular demand:

✨Gege Bracket, Take 2 ✨

Same as the last time, I picked all the geges first and then used a randomiser to match them - there are a few matches here that I'm personally v 🥺 about because I wanted both geges to go far!!

You can vote for your favourite geges here. Each round is about 4 days long so please rest in between captchas my buddies 😂, and we'll have the Ultimate Gege crowned just before Christmas, so 😊!!

(sorry buddies, logistically, it was still easier to host this on polltab so i only had to set this up once instead of running separate polls on tumblr, so i'm afraid?? you'll still have to suffer through the captchas??? jiejie is really so sorry for all the captcha-related nightmares)

As a bonus followers only activity, you can send me your predictions of the Ultimate Gege before Round 1 ends - I'll randomly pick about 3 correct entries and send through a mini taobao-sourced gift package!! Open to international entries, will ship directly from China, I've got credit on my shipping account because I double-paid when shopping for 11.11 and they've got a no refunds policy :/

Thank you for sticking around in 2023, even though I've not been actually super active in fandoms. Jiejie loves all of you!! 💕✨

#gege bracket #if i've missed your geges it's probably because they're my didis!! 🥺👌🏼 #bai yu is not here because he was the last Ultimate Gege #who am i rooting for this year?? tan jianci ofc #will i do a didi/jiejie/meimei bracket after this??? we'll see!! maybe during the christmas closedown break :) #ya i know on polltab it says 2024 i only picked it up after it went live 🫠 #gege bracket 2023

Wilbur Soot Button-Up Bracket ROUND ONE!!!!

1, 2

Full Poll List

#fuck you guys you can only pick one #wilbur soot #wilbur button-up bracket #laurel.poll

[tiktaalic]

concept i'm conceptualizing is. the narrative of destiel as a jenga tower. and how many episodes you would have to yank out of it before it lost cohesion. i think if you were very careful with your picks you could get down to three episodes and still have something that is undeniably destiel

#etxt #i dont even think 15.18 has to be one of the three i think there are some very strong contenders to string out the narrative of destiel tha #aren't 15.18 and would be extremly convincing bracketed by two other choice picks

[physicallydisabledswagtournament]

The top two contestants in this poll will move on to a second polls for the finale of the finals!

#physicallydisabledswagtournament finals #tournament polls #HTTYD #ATLA #FMA #hiccup #toothless #Ed Elric #Toph Beifong #for anyone wondering the finals will be 2 parts so then if you have multiple favourites and the one you pick is in last place you can #vote for the other in the final :] #also sorry this took awhile I kind of lost motivation. minor bracket progress will happen soon I swear.

[sexiest-objects-tournament]

Fiber arts includes knitting, crochet, sewing, cross-stitching and embroidery. Likely more that I'm forgetting.

Gore includes vivisection, dissection, cannibalism, organs, etc.

Please share propaganda in the notes!

I saw a post about this a hot minute ago and I'm so mad I can't find it BUT. While I LOVE Present Mic as a popular radio personality, there isn't really that much concrete evidence to support that idea. (Which, to be fair, there isn't a lot of concrete evidence about the careers/public perception of a lot of pros outside of All Might, Endeavor, sorta Hawks, etc., so you can pry that headcanon out of my grasp with a crowbar and so on.) That being said, I think a really fun angle to explore re: Present Mic as a radio host-pro hero-UA teacher (that I may or may not have the bare bones of a fic about👀) is the idea that Mic debuted as a very successful hero and entertainer, and experienced pretty steady growth in both aspects of his career for a few years before he took a teaching position at UA.

Hero rankings are based on incidents resolved, and can be damaged by taking any amount of time off (such as when the Wild Wild Pussycats took, what? A couple of months off from hero-ing? and their ranking plummeted by several hundred places). Teaching is time consuming; it's the kind of job that often necessitates 'bringing work home' with you in the form of grading, lesson planning, etc. Obviously it would cut into Mic's focus on his hero work and his radio show, and obviously that would affect not only his actual ranking but how much attention his career/persona garnered. After all, there is an influx of new heroes every single year when hero courses across the country graduate. It takes work to stay relevant in this universe.

So now I'm thinking of like. Present Mic but with the level of fame/popularity of a celebrity who was big a handful of years ago, but you don't hear so much about anymore. Like, yeah, they're still active, and still have a (often very dedicated) fanbase, but they've kind of been shuffled out of the spotlight a little bit. This also makes his lackluster reception at the entrance exam so much funnier imo, because those students would have been like 8-9 when he stopped just doing hero/radio stuff and started teaching, but they're teenagers now and Present Mic is sooo not in anymore.

#i think maybe students 3-A's age and older would have clearer memories of present mic in his heyday #so maybe he seems a little more like a celebrity to them #anyway! picking away at this fic set ~4 years pre canon like a magpie picking at shiny things for a nest #featuring a surprise guest in such a literal way you have no idea #yamada hizashi #i have THOUGHTS (i have present mic obsessive disorder) #liza blather #q #i'm going to say something a little out there but. present mic is to 3-A's age bracket #as kelly clarkson was to me specifically in high school #i don't know how to elaborate on that so i won't and it'll be like a little insane secret take for anyone who reads tags #last week kicked my butt here's wonderwall

ALL BEETLES VS. ALL BABIES

#beetles #babies #it/its swag showdown #why am i even tagging this one ngl #this is by far my favorite match. #I NEED YOU ALL TO KNOW I DID NOT MANUALLY PICK THIS MATCHUP #when i randomly generated the bracket these two got paired together #honestly

[ginnymoonbeam]

I keep almost posting Only Friends meta and then instead I choose life. No one, even my nearest and dearest, is remotely hinged about this show and I like to stay in my little bubble of minimal engagement.

That said, I think [action] by [character] in [episode] is the most actually evil thing we've seen anyone do yet. I don't think any of the characters in this show are evil, just human and hurting and needy, but a person can do an evil thing without being an evil person, and that one's a yikes buddy from me.

It was, also, incredibly fun to watch.

#only friends the series #go ahead and apply the brackets to your action of choice #the meta-comment holds even if it isn't MY pick for Most Evil Action

ASOIAF terrible fathers bracket round 2: Viserys I Targaryen vs. Jaehaerys I Targaryen

viserys: Was such a lackluster father that he managed to get his children to not only murder each other but start a near-dynasty-destroying civil war immediately after he died. Somehow neglected two sets of children in favor of the other simultaneously, watched his 10 year old son get his eyeball ripped out and then threatened to take his tongue also, killed his wife and then didn’t talk to his teenage daughter for six months about it before marrying her best friend

Jaehaerys: if i had an hour i couldn’t cover it. evil nasty old man who was so misogynistic his actions directly caused the death of 4 of his 7 daughters and then banished a fifth one for having premarital sex after holding her down and making her watch him cut her boyfriend into little pieces with a sword. addicted to betrothing his teenage daughters to nasty old men for literally no gain whatsoever. there is a reason why the only 2 of his 13 children who lived to adulthood were the disinherited ones his aura is terrible. see you in hell

#asoiaf #terrible dad bracket #this is already startlingly difficult idk who i would pick

ROUND 1- POLL 1 of HANNAH’S “WHO’S HOTTEST?” BOND BRACKET

I assigned numbers to all eight film/tv Bond actors and used a random number generator to create four actor vs actor lineups for this first round. Whoever wins these will obviously determine the lineup of the next two rounds. Polls are only gonna last a day because I don't want to spend 3 weeks on this lol

I’ve yet to watch the 1954 Climax! Casino Royale tv adaptation, but I had to include Barry Nelson’s Bond to make the numbers work, it was him or Austin Powers so he’s there too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Don’t think too hard about what qualifies “hottest”, just follow your heart. There’s an option to kill them both with your mind on each poll anyway. Idk how we’ll move forward if killing them wins, I’ll deal with that only if the time comes lol

I’ll be tagging all the posts as “Hannah’s Bond Bracket”

LET'S GOOOOO

#hannah is talking #polls #who’s hottest #smash or pass #hannah’s bond bracket #james bond #007 #sean connery #pierce brosnan #pspspsps bond fans come be silly with me #tried to pick the same kind of ‘serious face holding gun upward’ promo photo that they do for every bond for all of them

[trc-character-tournament]

Hii since I like poll tournaments and didn't find a trc one, I decided to make this

Here's the bracket:

Feel free to ask if you have any questions and I hope everyone has a fun time <3

My main is @of-stars-and-moon btw

Oh also inspired by @queer-book-character-tournament @yafantasywifetournament @baldswagsummit2023 @adhdvsautismbracket @foundfamilyarena

#i picked the very minor/side characters to make it evenly 32 because 16 characters bracket felt small #also the matchups are random and i laughed when i saw declan and matthew's ajdhdjdk #and ganseys too #trc #trc character tournament #trc poll #the raven cycle #the dreamers trilogy #tdt #i almost forgot to add the inspired by but ive seen mostly everyone do that so #ajdhdj idk ive never done smth like this before

[flaticeball]

the idea of a Gayest Player In The NHL bracket at all is already in poor taste to some degree bc i get everyone loves to make the “they’re so gay for each other fr” jokes but the condition of the actual league and its actions right now is like. you do understand why calling these people Gay Icons (Positive) for funny haha jokes is just. at best inappropriate timing, yes? but the idea of literally including one of the guys who got pride nights cancelled with his homophobia is just. can we take a minute to realize that hockey fandom doesn’t take place in a void completely unconnected to reality and see that this is just. a Really Bad Look. at best.

#gav gab #saw someone reblog the actual bracket intro post with among other things #‘mom come pick me up they’re calling tseguin a gay icon in 2023’ and like #LMFAO. YEAH. FOR REAL. YOUVE SEEN WHAT HE SAID ABOUT THE SEDINS YES? #anyways get outta here with that shit #people have gotten real confident with the ‘they’re about to fuck at centre ice’ thing and saying hockey is a Super Gay Sport #which is a fun joke to make with your friends online ig #as annoying as i find it generally #but you do understand this isn’t real yes #and i know the bracket is not making claims about reality #but what it IS doing is including players like eric fucking staal #in a bracket for Gayest NHL Player #and the real life actions of staal actively make the sport unsafe for queer athletes and queer fans #stop mistaking jokes about hockey players fucking each other or writing rpf about that as any kind of activism #or any kind of actual reflection of the nhl #how do you think this is an appropriate thing to do for so many reasons lmao how are you including some of these guys on this #even before you get into some of the other insane behaviour going on in this bracket existing #‘I didn’t pick the contestants!’ you did you. you’re in charge. #‘just hope they get voted out’ don’t include them at all what’s wrong with you #why do bracket creators always act like it’s some kind of mandatory moral imperative they include every single thing nominated/voted in #you have agency here lmao. use it. fucking spineless. #rpf for ts #adjacent enough anyway #homophobia cw #why would you do this #lmfao the brief scroll of that blog i took the amount of ‘propaganda’ that’s just ‘this guy has friends’ #wild. genuinely wild. #one request id like to make to the liveblogs this year too on a vaguely tangentially related note is #reign in your blatant and unrepentant amatonormativity please #from your local aro

Worst Video Game Song Tournament - Round 2 Match 15

Tired of Life - Lady of Beestmeel Bro

VERSUS

Holy Orders? - Guilty Gear XX

FIGHT!

I would recommend listening to as much as you can of each song before voting, but how you choose is up to you! Remember to be civil in the tags and replies!

Propaganda under cut:

Tired of Life:

"I have none and there is probably no way to play this game any more but but the songs are on youbute"

"lets talk about tired of life. #there's something happening there. there's something happening to me. like i'm hearing the voice of an angel. but i can't comprehend its #full power and glory. there's something about this song that was unfit for human consumption beyond our mortal ears. #it's just. it's so incredible. this evil world just cheeks like a booty #i mean some of the background stuff does actually slap. and also i really can NOT bring myself to hate the rest of it. i think im gonna add #this both my bad AND good video game song playlists. i think it contains multitudes. layered. onion. beauty #i would like to thank whoever submitted this personally if i could. its just incredible. tired of life as i do my duty this evil world just #cheeks like a booty!!!"

Holy Orders?:

(none included)

original poll for holy orders here if you wanna look through the tags/comments its kind of a lot to sift through

Feel free to add more propaganda in the tags and replies, or send it to me in the ask box and I'll try to share it as soon as I can!
