Welcome to the Morally Ambigious Girlboss Tournament!
Have you ever thought "damn, she's a little evil but that's okay"? Has your fave girlie committed warcrimes, perhaps atrocities, perhaps a few murders? Do you need her freed because she only did some of that? Then this may be the tournament for you!
Submission Rules:
Submissions are open until July 29th, though I reserve the right to close them off early if I somehow get flooded with submissions.
PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT THE SAME CHARACTER MULTIPLE TIMES. You are free to make as many submissions of different characters as you want.
The first serious submission I receive will become the avatar for the blog.
No characters from Harry Potter. If anyone raises concerns about other potentially problematic media, we will hold a vote as to whether it should be allowed.
No characters from real life, or fictionalized/exaggerated versions of real-life people (DSMP characters, youtuber egos etc.) unless its REALLY funny.
No more than two characters from any given work are allowed in the final bracket. If more than two characters are submitted, we will hold a play-in poll to determine which two will enter the main bracket.
Girlbossing is a vibe, not a gender specification. I will probably not be allowing any cis men to enter, but I won't be restricting it to only women, either. If there's any doubt as to whether a character counts as a girlboss, we will hold a qualifier poll.
I will try to include as many submissions as I can! However, in case I somehow get absolutely flooded with submissions, I am capping it at 256 girlbosses.
Because of my personal biases and love for them, Gertrude Robinson (The Magnus Archives) and Anne (Woe.Begone) are submitted automatically.
Tournament Rules:
This will be a double elimination/loser's bracket style tournament, in order to minimize any hurt feelings from people's faves being eliminated immediately.
I will try to reblog any and all positive propaganda, and post any and all positive propaganda asks, but I will NOT be giving attention to any propaganda against a character.
Please remain civil. This is a fun tournament for some slightly evil girlbosses to battle it out. Anyone who starts giving anyone else hate over this will be blocked.
I reserve the right to change or add to these rules as I remember any that I forgot.
Submissions below!

I watched these films when I was an impressionable teenager and now I have an unrealistic and borderline delusional view of love
About Last Night (1986) dir. Edward Zwick
Quote: “You don't know what love is. You've gotten everything you have always wanted and now you're feeling sorry for yourself because there's something you want and you can't have it. But you had it! I gave you love. But you asked me to leave and I left.”
Pretty Woman (1991) dir. Garry Marshall
Quote: “I'd really like you to stay. I don't want to be alone tonight.”

You’ve Got Mail (1998) dir. Nora Ephron

Someone Like You (2001) dir. Tony Goldwyn
Quote: “I know it hurts. I know. It's so hard to believe that something that wonderful can ever happen to us again, but it can.”

Maid in Manhattan (2002) dir. Wayne Wang
Quote: “No, honey. It's more like a dream, you know? And for one night, you're living it for all of us. Don't think about tomorrow. Don't think about anything but tonight. Tonight, the maid is a lie. And this, this is who you really are.”
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003) dir. Donald Petrie

LOSER'S BRACKET NOMINATIONS!
It is time to announce the LOSER'S BRACKET!
The Loser's Bracket is meant to give some love to characters who lost early, so anyone who has made it to the Quarterfinals and farther (even if they lose there) has gotten far enough they don't really need the love of the Loser's Bracket. During our last tournament Red Riding Poll, the Loser's Bracket winner was a character who hadn't even made it out of Round 1! This is for all the characters who might have been less recognizable but still awesome, to all the characters that got overshadowed by others.
The rules for nominations:
The Loser's Bracket will be either a 16 or 32 single elimination bracket, depending on the amount of nominations that are sent in.
Unlike the main tournament, where the polls each lasted a week, the polls for the Loser's Bracket will last only a day. That means the entire Loser's Bracket will probably last around a week.
Nominate as many characters as you want, but don't nominate the same character multiple times. Be mindful that the most nominated characters will be the ones that will make it to the bracket. Also nominate characters one at a time.
Propaganda from the Main Tournament will not appear, but feel free to submit any propaganda you want for why the character should win the Loser's Bracket!
Nominations open today and will close on the 15th of January, the same day the Quarterfinals of the main tournament loses.
Be respectful! Just because your fave didn't make it as far as you wanted in the main tournament or the Loser's Bracket, doesn't mean that the other contestants aren't worthwhile either! Remember, every character in this tournament have people who love them just as much as you love your fave, so please be courteous!
