Welcome to the Unofficial Top Tumblr Relationships Bracket!

Many people on Tumblr might have engaged in the practice of "shipping" in relation to "media". Some, according to legend, even have opinions on these matters.

If the above happens to apply to you, you might be eligible to vote in this bracket! We have pitted the most popular pairings of the 2023 Tumblr Year in Review against each other to see who will emerge victorious. Round 2 polls drop on Monday, April 29th at 1PM PDT, and will run for a full week.

Check current vote counts here!

FAQ:

How was the bracket made and seeded?

This bracket was made based off Tumblr's 2023 year in review ship list, and edited to fit into a workable bracket. Matchups were seeded according to ranking on the list.

What are your stances on voter fraud, campaigning, bribing people with drabbles and/or art, etc?

Enthusiastically in favor! We do, however, ask that you don't DDOS Tumblr, and ideally don't commit any murders that can be traced back to us.

Why aren't there platonic relationships in this bracket? There were in the AO3 one.

The AO3 data we were working with included all kinds of relationship tags, including platonic ones. The Tumblr year in review top ship list does not.

I have an issue with [x] being included in this poll.

This poll is a celebration of fandom and fandom history; we're aware that there are certain issues with some of the listed pairings and sources, but they are a part of that history. Please do not take this as an endorsement of anything included in the bracket, and refrain from harassment.

In general, please remember that this is intended to be a fun time for the wide community which is fandom culture, and treat each other with respect!

Can I vote for a ship just because the other ship beat my ship in the previous tournament and I’m bitter about it?

You can vote for a ship for any reason you feel like.

For fun, here are some interesting comparisons between the 2023 Tumblr data we are using for this poll, and the All-Time AO3 data from last poll!

Some of the most popular mediums for both sets were live-action television and anime. However, this poll sees a huge boost of pairings from western animation and video games, as well as podcast characters, who were nowhere in the AO3 lineup!

As opposed to the AO3 data, Tumblr's ship data does not include platonic ships. M/M still dominates, but the number of F/F competitors has gone from 4 to 14! F/M stays at a steady 10 (as opposed to 13 in the AO3 pool), with the remaining ships falling under "Other" for containing non-binary or unspecified gender characters.

In the AO3 data, 55 of the pairings listed consisted of two white characters, and 24 consisted of two asian characters. This is now down to 37 and 13 respectively. The Tumblr stats in general saw a rise in Indigenous, Latine, and nonhuman characters, as well as characters of unspecified race.

Hope you all are having fun!
