Controversial Character Tournament Round 2: Mathematics from Real Life vs Sam Winchester from Supernatural

(remember that these characters are fictional and your fellow tumblr users are real. i will block you if you harass others in the notes, please consider sending your unhinged harassment to my inbox instead)

Propaganda under the cut, may contain spoilers:

Mathematics:

LOVE: - "I know this goes against the rules a bit and probably won't make it in, but math gets so much hate and it's unfair! Math is beautiful and useful and cool! Wake up, people!"

Sam Winchester:

LOVE: - "Look, I realize that tumblr is the Destiel website and that there is a strong possibility that he is more of a hated character than a controversial one. And maybe submitting him to this tournament when he is my favorite is not really a great idea, but… he is my beloved <333 and I wanna click the "I love Sam" button dammit :( As for why you should love him: He's a huge (literally) nerd who has psychic powers and drinks blood (hot!). He was destined to become Boy King of Hell and Lucifer's vessel, but he chose to sacrifice himself to save the world. Very queer-coded, even though most of the fandom denies it."

Round 2, bracket B, poll 9 (last one in this round)

Propaganda for Caitvi: "in the game, they're fighters and are confirmed to be girlfriends who live together (Vi mentions wanting to go back home to Caitlyn). They're not canon yet in the show, but Vi's butch swag and calling Caitlyn 'cupcake' are working pretty well so far."

Propaganda for Joenicky: "they're immortal. they've been alive almost 1000 years. enemies to lovers even (they killed each other repeatedly before they fell in love). one gives a speech about how much he loves the other WHILE they're both being held prisoner in the back of a van and then they kill everyone. also they're really really important to me"

"they killed each other fighting on opposite sides of the crusades and then both resurrected as immortals and killed each other many times before becoming allies and then falling in love. they've fought first each other and then side by side for hundreds of years and are total complements in battle, along with their other immortal family!!"

Brony Song Bracket Redux!

Almost a year ago, I ran a tournament here to find the best Brony song. After many rounds and thousands of votes, The Living Tombstone's Remix of Discord was declared the winner

Now, I'm holding another Brony Music tournament, it will include all the songs that lost in Round 1 of the last tournament, as well as Brony songs submitted by you!

Submit as many brony songs as you want. Note that there is no reason to submit songs that were in the first tournament, because they're either already going to be in the new bracket (if they lost Round 1) or they're disqualified (if they won Round 1). It's fine if you unknowingly submit one of them again, but try to avoid it if you can

Submissions are open

#I might include some songs that made it to Round 2 #depending on how many submissions I get #brony music #announcements #my little pony #mlp #brony #my little pony friendship is magic #polls on tumblr #poll tournament #Brony Bracket B #Brony Bracket B announcements

Medic (Team Fortress 2)

He’s literally THE medic. This guy’s done so much crazy shit to everyone around him, including successfully removing a man’s skeleton while still keeping him alive and implanting a baboon uterus and several fetuses in a guy without him knowing. He’s so incredibly unwell and should not be trusted with medical supplies around anybody

vs

You (Operation [board game])

Yes it is meta, but you are in the position of doctor as you remove the oddest parts from a patient in need. Please, this one is good.

Rules for Propaganda

*Round 1*

*Round 2*

*Round 3*

*Round 4*

*Round 5*

*Round 6*

When It comes to propaganda in the reblogs of the polls, I'll only rb propaganda that isn’t along the lines of, "GOOO *x character*" or “VOTE *x character*”. It has to have some sort of thought put in it and explain why the character should win. I won’t reblog propaganda if it has blatant character hate in it. I won't rb propaganda that is exclusively in the tags. If you made fanart, in order for me to see it, please either: directly reblog the og poll with the fanart or directly @ me.

Beep beep beep be-

Danny slammed his hand over his alarm clock and groaned. 7am already?! It felt like he had just fallen asleep, having stayed up late into the night trying to get Johnny and Kitty back into the zone.

He sighs as he gets up to get ready to go to school.

Going into the bathroom, he brushed his teeth and quickly got dressed,barely giving himself a glance in the mirror to fix his hair. He knew he was gonna look like shit anyway so he didn't need to see it.

He ran down stairs grabbing his back pack and a slice of toast on the way out.

He ran out going twords the school hoping he'd get there in time before the first bell.

He munched on his toast noticing that some people were looking at him in shock and surprise. Some even taking out their phones to take pictures.

'What's gotten into them?' He wondered as he burst through the school doors just as the bell finished ringing.

He ran down the hallway hoping Lancer hadn't started his lesson yet.

Mr. Lancer took a seat as his desk as the students began to get their stuff out for class.

"Alright everyone, settle down now" he says as he moves to write something on the board.

"Please open your books to pa-"

The door of the class room flew open as Danny walked in panting and outta breath.

"Sorry Mr. Lancer, my um parents had an um incident in the lab again" He lied as he hurried over to his seat in the back.

The room was deadly quiet. Danny sat down and looked up only to see that everyone was staring at him wide eyed in shock, as if they had seen a ghost.

Danny looked at them confused.

"Wha-what's going on here?! Why is everyone looking at me?" He asked looking around a bit nervous.

He looked over at Sam,who had her hand over her mouth in shock, and then at Tucker, who just shook his head and looked away in disbelief.

All was silent till at last, Wes jumped up and pointed at him.

"HAH!!! See?! I told you all that Fenton was Phantom! I told you!!! I was right! Take that suckers!!" He yelled and then proceeded to dab in the middle of the class room.

Danny blinked confused until Sam managed to pass him a mirror.

He looked at himself and gasped.

He had been so tired from his fight that he hadn't noticed he'd gotten ready for school while still in his ghost form.

He looked at his classmates sheepishly

"I um...can explain?"

Controversial Character Tournament Round 1: Dean Winchester from Supernatural

SET-UP AND ROUND 1 BRACKET

Alright, so I had to do a fair bit of math to get this to work, bear with me!

We had a total number of 24 submissions! This means that we needed 8 "bye rounds", meaning 8 competitors that don't have to participate in the first round. After discussing this with a friend, we agreed that the fairest way was to let the competitors with the most submissions move on directly to round 2!

We had five competitors that got to move on automatically. To select the remaining three we'll need, we decided to let all the losers of the first round compete against each other in a revival round. The three that get the most votes get to move on to round 2. After that, everything runs on as usual.

So without further ado, this is the bracket for round 1!

As you can see, three rounds will have three competitors.

Hopefully this makes sense! Unless I get lots of negative feedback on this method and lineup, the voting will begin in a few days!

I also split up the two general submissions I got from the character-specific submissions, partly to make the math a little simpler and partly because the vibes of them felt a bit too different to combine into one.

I don't have many outfits and I don't have legendary gear to change around my alts' gear for new holiday digs, so I decided to just fit my norn elementalist, Vogden the Hammer-chin, whom I've had for around 5 years and never do anything with, into a pseudo-seasonal theme and play him throughout Wintersday instead.

[robthegoodfellow]

I'm rereading Sideways and listen; I would kill to know what Slick said to Steve when he went up to the bar on his own.

This got WAY more brewing in my head than expected, so here! Have some Sam/Auntie Slick POV. One day I will commission art of my beloved butch.

🍺

The Harrington kid got up to use the gents and Sam, stacking glasses, let out a snort. Blondie hated to see him go, but sure did love to watch him leave. 

Her not-really-nephew was beelining for the booth, having snagged cans of pop from the minifridge—shameless freeloader.

She kept an eye on them as she poured Phil another—his last pint of the night if she didn’t want to catch an earful from his missus—and saw Blondie crane around like a man hunted, a wary cast at the bar. Smirking, she closed out the tab. Least he knows to tread careful.

When Harrington, Jr., strode up, plunked himself on a stool, she was honestly intrigued. Her last run-in with the family who owned half the town had been a few years back, when they’d made a play for the Hideout—for that whole block of storefronts—but Sam owned the building and the land, refused to sell.

For a couple different reasons, most important being that sitting her ass on a cushy mound of cash would spell disaster for her sobriety—she knew enough about herself to know that for certain—and the most sentimental being that the Hideout had been in the family for generations. Her daddy would rise from the dead and give her the kind of ghostly tongue-lashing that left you a gibbering mess in the corner, and she’d deserve it, selling out like that.

The Harringtons weren’t the type to take no for an answer, though—turned some screws to make her roll, made business a nightmare—but instead of showing her belly, she’d gone to Hop and they’d backed off.

“What’s their endgame?” she wondered, when he’d come by for a drink and a debrief. “They just gobbling up whatever can make them an easy buck, or—?”

Hop raised brows loaded with meaning, peering into his amber ale. 

“They’re shady,” she deduced.

He wouldn’t say—not until he went bottoms up, smacked his lips. “All I know is there’s a reason they spend so little time at home.”

“What about their kid?” she asked, wiping up with a rag. “What’s his name—Stuart? Isn’t he still in grade school?”

“It’s Steve,” Hop corrected, waved a dismissive hand as he donned his hat. “Freshman. Think he’s probably better off not seeing them much.”

“So it’s good I didn’t sell,” Sam stated, and Hop nodded.

“Anything that throws a wrench in their way.”

And now, here he was, in the flesh: Steve Harrington, heir to the Harrington fortune, lone occupant of the country estate.

In the flesh in what was definitely Blondie’s leather jacket. How cute.

“Ah—hi, there,” said Steve, quirking a hopeful smile.

Sam gave him the same flat stare she’d gifted his boy. Just to see what happened.

Nothing. Nothing is what happened, except the corner of his mouth twitched, suppressing some private amusement. He cleared his throat, hands clasped like a salesman about to offer a real bargain. “I heard you have a one beer policy for certain customers.”

She flicked a glance over his shoulder, where Blondie and Wayward Edward were hunched, in cahoots. 

“Where’s he from? Mr. California.”

Steve blinked. “Ah—California?” Dramatic shrug when she cut him a look she’d developed that was essentially an eye roll without the eye roll. “I met him literally a couple days ago. Your guess is as good as mine.”

Her guess was significantly better than his. “SoCal,” she decided. “I’d bet on it.”

“How much?” His grin held a mild challenge, and Sam decided she liked this kid. Somehow. 

“Ten.”

“You’re on,” he said, holding out his hand. They shook.

As she drew him the same beer as Blondie, she found herself suddenly torn between opposing instincts: one, to mind her damn business and not say another word; or two, butt into this kid’s life the same way she had the last kid. California kid.

Didn’t know why she was leaning toward the second. Other than Eddie and his little troupe, Sam had very happily remained uninvolved and uninvested in the existence of young people. So what was itching at her to sit these idiots down and firmly tell them what was what? Hell, she’d already given one of them a portion of the birds and the bees speech she’d bumbled through years ago with the not-really-nephew.

Wayne still owed her for that, come to think of it. But if he weren’t up to it, who would?

Maybe that was it. Who else was gonna tell these baby gays how to safely cross the street? Certainly not their folks, not their teachers. All they had was poor schmucks who had been baby gays themselves—who could pass on the fruits of their trial and error so maybe the newbies could err on the side of caution.

“You thought through what’ll happen if it gets out?” she asked, neutral undertone, sliding him the glass. “What you two are doing?”

He went completely still, staring, and Sam creaked her rusty gears enough to approximate a face that read chill out, you’re fine. 

Finally, Steve shrugged, far less dramatic. “I got some money they can’t touch—once I’m twenty-one. Dead grandparents.”

So—safe even if he were disowned.

“We’re in Indiana,” she reminded him. “There’s a lot worse that can happen than losing your piggy bank.”

Steve huffed, so cynical it could cut stone. “Oh, I know. I know.”

This kid kept surprising her left and right. She squinted, took in the flinty steel of his gaze, the set mouth that hinted at a past requiring far more of a stiff upper lip than you’d expect from a pampered prince.

“You do.” She made a fist, tapped it on worn wood sticky from a spill. “Then watch out for each other, huh?” Jerked her chin at the far booth—now git. “Enjoy the beer.”

Steve marched off with his spoils. 

Slid in next to Blondie until their arms were flush.
