From the People Who Brought You the Gothlit Sexyman and Sexywoman Contests…

Welcome to the Gothic Literature Ship Showdown!

Glad you’re here!

We’re taking submissions for ships right now before we start the contest. A few quick notes on that:

We’re separating Dracula ships from others because of the size of the Dracula fandom in comparison to others. But never fear! We’re still having a separate Dracula ship bracket on this blog during the competition.

Crossover ships will have their own bracket, too. Submit your favorite today.

Ships from any piece of historic gothic literature are welcome, no matter how small. However, keep in mind there is strictly NO PROSHIPPING ALLOWED.

Suggestion forms are here:

General

Dracula

Crossover

Further information on bracket contents and size, as well as scheduling, will be released when we have enough submissions.

Also, a Profile Picture Contest is being held! Your work will be judged separately from your name for the fairest contest possible. If you’re interested, please submit your entry here. Submissions are due Wednesday, July 5th at 11:59pm EDT.

Reblog are appreciated ❤️

Thanks for reading!

Mod Jenny has a new project.

Hello, and welcome to the 2023 Most Pathetic Gothlit Meow Meow showdown! Inspired by @gothlit-sexywoman-contest and @gothlit-sexyman-contest. I know we’ve been campaigning for the SEXIEST Gothlit character, but where it’s really at is who is the most pathetic. The most sopping wet. The saddest.

Here are this year’s matchups!

ROUND ONE MATCHUPS

Griffin (The Invisible Man) versus Lord Henry Wotton (The Picture of Dorian Gray)

Dorian Gray (The Picture of Dorian Gray) versus Adam, the Creature (Frankenstein)

Carmilla (Carmilla) versus Ernest Frankenstein (Frankenstein)

Henry Jekyll (The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde) versus Thomas Marvel (The Invisible Man)

Raoul de Chagny (The Phantom of the Opera) versus Victor Frankenstein (Frankenstein)

Gregor Samsa (The Metamorphosis) versus Robert Walton (Frankenstein)

Jack Seward (Dracula) versus Erik, The Phantom (The Phantom of the Opera)

Sydney Carton (A Tale of Two Cities) versus Basil Hallward (The Picture of Dorian Gray)

Best of luck to all of the meow meows!

“I must admit, this is quite an impressive look.”

“It’s the look that’s going to crush you in the polls, Harker. You and your Tragique Gothique bloodied damsel-man aesthetic can’t compare.”

“My what?”

“The getup you’re wearing. Right now.”

“Oh, this just happened to me on the way here. I started the walk in a three-piece suit.”

“Then what..?”

“Vampires. They were a bit handsy so I had to relieve them of said hands. Among other things.”

“Iping doesn’t have vampires.”

“Well, it doesn’t now.”

P.S. @gothlit-sexyman-contest, I think points should be added to both finalists’ scores for fashion’s sake 😤

Final Round :: The Battle Of The White Men

#reblog #im cackling

[gothlit-sexyman-contest]

of course! we're very happy to have been able to bring joy (?) to so many gothlit fans. now the time is upon us. vote your favorite sexyman into championship greatness today!

Let’s make the last round fun, guys. 

Vote for your finalist sexyman of choice. And remember that we’re (dis)respectfully (👀) objectifying 100+ year old dudes we can find on the Classics shelf in any Barnes and Noble. This is hilarious. We’ve all got clown noses in our reticules and rainbow wigs under our top hats. So let’s be silly about it. Or make sexy, sexy propaganda about it. But most of all, let’s enjoy this warped book club moment together. And be chill, because it’s what our sexymen would want.*

*NOTE: Griffin has informed me that chillness should only extend to the sexyman contest. Once it’s over, he insists you all resume your worship and terror before the might of his genius and the Reign of Terror from the Great Unseen.**

**And to also leave some tissues and NyQuil out on your porches, please.

Last-last thing: @gothlit-sexyman-contest thank you for putting this whole bracket together. Even with the gnarly dramatic bits, it’s been fun to see all the gothic lit lovers coming out of the woodwork too champion their respective sexily tormented favorites >:}
