Take Me To Church (Hozier)
I was born sick, but I love it/Command me to be well/A-, Amen, Amen, Amen/Take me to church/I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies/I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife/Offer me that deathless death/Good God, let me give you my life
"1. It's Hozier, what do you expect? 2. Worship imagery... (I don't know why I like it, but I do.)"
True Trans Soul Rebel (Against Me!)
Making yourself up as you go along/...Does god bless your transsexual heart, true trans soul rebel?...Slit your veins right open, you bleed it out...Oh you should've been a mother, you should've been a wife/You should've been gone from here years ago you should be living a different life
"I am transgender 🤘🤘🤘 no but like it feels like being outside of a party getting some fresh air and feeling overwhelmed and alone. and that in itself feels like a metaphor for gender. like, growing up as trans you always feel like something is different about you and that it's wrong but you don't know what it is. you don't feel welcomed at the party, so you go outside for some air and nobody is outside with you so you feel all alone."

SET ONE - ROUND ONE - MATCH ONE
"Lament for Icarus" (2020 - Miao He) / "Lament for Icarus" (1898 - Herbert Draper)
MIAO HE: [no additional commentary provided]
HERBERT DRAPER: It is a sad picture, yes, but mainly it fills me with some kind of melancholy and calmness. The golden colours, still speaking of the sun, his apparently unhurt body, brown and human in contrast to the white nereids... He seems like he's sleeping and maybe he's finally happy and free :') (stardoused)
(Miao He's painting is a digital piece done in 2020 as a new take on the original piece from 1898. you can find Miao He's artstation here!
Herbert Draper was an English painter who painted this piece in 1898. "Lament for Icarus" is an oil on canvas painting that's currently owned by Tate Britain, a free to visit art gallery located in London. The piece is 180cm x 150cm (5.9ft x 4.9 ft)!)

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.

Frankenstein (The Mechanisms)
How could I have a soul when you gave me no name!
"Ok so. Abt 10 mins long song, completely standalone with no relation to any other albums. Based on frankenstein. AND IT FUCKS. Retelling of frankenstein where the monster is an ai created by victoria frankenstein and it basically destroys a whole planet bc victoria wouldn't let it create others of its kind, leaving it lonely and refusing to acknowledge its existence as more than just her crowning achievement, something that brings her glory but should never be seen as anything close to a human being. But the ai keeps victoria alive, killing and reviving her over and over again in hopes that one day she'll agree to let it create more of itself, even though she keeps refusing every time. The song itself shows one iteration of that cycle, with victoria waking up, recalling her ai's actions, refusing its demands and dying only to be revived again at the end of the song, with the cycle continuing on. Its very much a 'first lines of the song are the same as the last lines' scenario and its great. Im submitting it over other mechs songs bc you don't really need any previous context to understand it and its severly underrated and i love it."
Drift Away (Steven Universe)
You keep on turning pages/For people who don’t care/People who don’t care about you/And still it takes you ages/To see that no one’s there/See that no one’s there/Everyone’s gone on without you
"Being stuck in one place while people, well, drift away and leave you behind. Realizing that relationships don’t always last forever. But waiting and hoping that, eventually, you’ll come back to each other, before realizing that’s not gonna happen."

Bit late now but I think separating classic who and new who would have been a good idea and a bit fairer.
well yeah, but also that would have been kinda less interesting, i've loved watching certain classic companions narrowly gain victories from what i thought would have been obvious nuwho sweeps (thinking especially about the ian/clara match) and also seeing which classic characters have ended up being winning and iconic (hi ian). tbh if there was one thing i'd change going back to the start, it would be not putting four characters from any category through, because that's what made it possible for there to (technically only potentially but probably certainly) be an rtd-only semifinal and final, although that's also in part a problem of assuming equality across nuwho eras and classic who eras as two broad categories, and then splitting every group across the four corners of the bracket rather than, say, putting two rtd characters into two of the semifinal feeders. idk, there's lots of ways it could have been done differently, but the "unfair" results are also part of the interesting bits for me

welcome to the 'art that fucks you up' tournament!
have you ever seen a painting and though to yourself, "wow this makes me want to viscerally tear into a family of four"? or maybe gazing upon the stained glass of a church building and thinking, "god is not real but i am if only for this single moment"?
then this bracket is for you!
we're accepting nearly any form of visual art, but primarily sticking to stuff like paintings and the like. loom banners are cool!! engravings are awesome!! stained glass? even better! that being said, feel free to submit statues and modern art stuff because if we're running a poll about art that fucks you up, it would be absolutely criminal to stick to just those.
(and yes. we do accept statues and paintings of people in the nude. just stay away from sending us real life photos of people having sex and claiming it's art. technically it kind of is, but we're not accepting those submissions. i reserve the right to refuse a submission.)
unfortunately, we will not be accepting fanart. i know there are some fantastic pieces of art made by people on this website for their fandoms, but we're not going to be accepting those :(
ALSO. if you are submitting art made by someone actively on tumblr, PLEASE ASK THEM FOR PERMISSION. technically, whilst making the polls, we would be reposting art which is usually against most artist's boundaries.
that being said, this is pretty free for all! send in some art, and let's get this show on the road!
submit through the askbox (off-anon so you can send in the image) and explain what the art makes you feel and (if possible) why. does that painting makes you want to run your hand through a slow moving flow of magma? tell us! PROVIDE A SOURCE OR IT WON'T COUNT.
we'll see how large the bracket will be once we start getting submissions, but given that this isn't really fandom-open it probably won't get too popular. (that doesn't mean you shouldn't participate with lessened fervor though!)
inspired by: @poetrysmackdown and @notanothersongaboutlovebracket!!

I've finished counting all of the nominations for the Best Mechanisms Quote/Line bracket! As of the time of posting, there are 76 responses, and 220 different quotes!!! So many!
The form to submit nominations is still open, and will be until... sometime around noon on Thursday. Maybe a little sooner, maybe a little later. So, make sure to get your last minute nominees in before that closes!!
Question: do you guys want the current list of 32 and current runner ups? I'm pretty much done for tonight, but I could get that together tomorrow if people want that. To clarify, what I mean by runner ups: currently quotes with 4+ nominations are in the bracket, so I'd put the ones with 3 nominations as well. The 3 nominations are runner ups. I am not formatting all of the quotes with 1 and 2 nominations, so if I did post all the quotes, you'd just get the quotes with 3+ nominations.

MXTX Nightmare Ship: Round 1
[id in alt text]
Back to bracket
Reasoning for each ship:
Little Palace Mistress/Yushi Huang
LPM is used to getting what she wants. She thinks she totally won the jackpot marrying a god so why the FUCK are they farming???? And why doesn’t Yushi do what she says ever???? Yushi is a solid anchor in this marriage just being her amazing self and keeping respectful in the face of disrespect but it’s a mess and none of the farmers like her wife.
Jun Wu/Reader
Art is an interaction between the artist, the medium, and the audience. You count as part of the art! How do you feel about your new boyfriend :)
