Playable ✨Main Character✨ Tournament

Sometimes they have a very distinct personality and backstory and sometimes they don't even have a face but they're still characters, thanks to whom we can see what the fuck is going on in that world they live in. Different games have different MCs. Maybe they have the highest kill count, maybe they've got rizz or maybe they're the blankest sheet of paper there is. Regardless they're still a character just a one with a special need of a player.

And here we'll pit them against each other and try to see which one would survive/adapt better, which one's more fucked up, who has more plot armour, which one's better, and whatever else category you want to judge them in.

SUBMISSIONS ARE OPEN

RULES/ INFO

This is for characters who are played by the player, who are usually under player's control but not always. It's for all them MCs in RPGs, visual novels and dating sims and maybe other types of games I forgot about

the character qualifies for the tournament if their actions are controlled by the player or the player experiences the world/plot from the perspective of the character

because of that the character doesn't necessarily need to have a defined name

No spamming, you may nominate a character once

You can nominate multiple MCs

Please only put ONE character per Google form

Be civil and respectful

Submissions will close in a month (2.06.2023, UTC +1)

Once the tournament will start each poll will last a week

Everything will be randomised

Asks are OPEN so feel free to ask any questions or share nonsense

With all the poll tournaments/brackets I wanted to join in on the fun and this is very much inspired by: @best-fictional-creature @ultimatemalewifepoll @best-fanfic-trope @littleguy-scuffle

hope it was okay to tag you guys

HELLO EVERYONE! WE ARE REOPENING GENTLE GIANT SWAG, FOR THE SUMMER EDITION

Submit as many characters as you won’t but don’t spam submit a singular character over and over again

Kronk, the previous winner, has been BANNED from the summer edition.

If you’re questioning a character, you can either check HERE! Or just write why you think they should win in the ask section (you can be anon) and we will make a poll, similar to @worstqueerbaittournament

Characters already added are Jonathan Joestar (Jojo’s bizarre adventure), Kanji tatsumi (persona), Milla Vodello (psychonauts), and Dedue Molinaro (fire emblem),

The Iron Giant, and Baymax (big hero 6kr will also return for being the runner ups

Despite that, you can submit these characters if you want to, if you want them to be in a more intense battle.

Nothing from a controversial franchise like Harry Potter

No ocs or real people or MCYT people

If needed, I may have to do two brackets like in the dad battle one. Though it depends.

Since I’m also the dad council, just use the code of conduct I used there. Which I will post in a few minutes after this is up

I will close the form on may 20th

If any character you want to submit might be on the fence, we will have a pre battle poll where you have to argue. Don’t worry I made this little post to help you with that

The grand final of the spring edition

Little Guys Tournament!!!

Do you have an animal or plant that you look at and can only describe it as a "Little Guy"? I sure do! That's why I created this tournament so that your Little Guys can fight to see who's the best Little Guy!!

Submission Rules!!!!!

-Please no fictional characters or real people (I may allow a few but don't count on it) please only submit real animals or plants (perhaps an object or two)

-Extinct plants and animals are allowed (I won't be mad if you submit a dodo just sayin')

-Big guys are allowed too!!! As long as you feel it can be described as a Little Guy/ Little Dude

-Along with that, gender doesn't matter either!

-Please be civil, I've heard of tournament blogs getting a lot of hate over stupid things, just be kind, this is all just fun and games I don't want anyone hurt

-Please if possible send a link with a picture that you would like me to use in the polls in the spot on the submission form

-Propaganda is allowed! Tell me all about you little guys and why they should win!

-You can submit as many different Little Guys as you want but please only submit one of each Little Guy so I don't get bombarded with the same ones (don't worry if they won't get in it won't be about how many submissions it has)

-I do encourage you to do research on ones you find cool! One main point of this is to learn about lots of nature's Little Guys and how funky they are!

-Have fun!! This isn't meant to be serious this was just a stupid idea of mine, don't take it too seriously!

Homie I wrote this description in like 2 seconds because I was late for class, I apologize for these descriptions 😅

Round 1: Time Loop vs. Whump

Time Loop:

Good plot device for character development/ could be a fix-it fic? If you've seen the movie Groundhog Day, it's kinda like that maybe

Whump

they're kinda traumatized

Round 1: Slowburn vs. Roomates AU

Slowburn:

Sometimes you just want to read the same fic for 100k+ words and I respect that

Roomates AU

And they were roomates

Round 1: Coffee Shop AU vs. (Not actually) unrequited love

Coffee Shop AU

Coffee shop! Maybe they get their name mispelled or get fun coffee orders, idk

(Not actually) unrequited love

You thought the love was unrequited? Think again

Round 1: Beach Episode vs. College AU

The Beach Episode:

Typically a fun reprieve from any plot, the beach episode lets characters bond and get up to hijinks in the summer sun. Plot-related twists to this trope are also fun!

College AU:

College parties, cramming for finals, binging shows with roomates: all things I’ve seen in college AUs

Round 1: Hurt/ Comfort vs. Best Friends to Lovers

The emotional pain that you go through is soothed in the end. All is well.

Best Friends to Lovers

Romances that are built on a strong friendship!

Round 1: Secret Relationship vs. High School AU

Secret Relationship

Typically refers to when characters are in a romantic relationship but other people don’t know. Could lead to a fun reveal maybe?

High School AU:

Geometry. Weird teachers. Social hierarchy. Varsity sports. Your characters must now face the mundane trials of … high school

Round 1: Married Before Dating vs. Nobody Dies AU

Married Before Dating:

Due to hijinks, your characters ended up being married (I suppose this could be literal or a case of “yeah they’re basically married”) before they are even in a relationship! Maybe they never end up in a relationship, maybe this is a way for them to realize their feelings for each other :0

Nobody Dies AU:

Is your favorite character Doomed By The Narrative? Have no fear, with the power of fanworks, you can imagine them happy and healthy 😊

Schedule update!

Round 1 Part 3 will be going up today at 10am est, and this will also be when Round 1 Part 1 finishes up (so if you haven’t voted yet, do it now!!)

While the part 3 polls are active, I may send out a form asking for more of y’all’s fic recs as a form of propoganda, what do y’all think 👀? Also, depending on if any of the polls end up being ties (very possible for a couple!!) I’ll send out a poll about how y’all want to proceed with that!

Round 2 will be split into two parts, and the first part may go up before Round 1 part 3 ends, since there wouldn’t be overlap. I’ll let you know when that is happening 👍

So glad I found this in time to vote! I would have gone absolutely feral if I only found it after it was all over!

I’m glad you found it in time too!! 😄

#not bracket related #asks

[best-fanfic-trope]

I think a lot of people would be interested in Gen-only tropes (aka tropes not related to romance/sex), because Gen tropes are unlikely to have a chance otherwise

That’s a great idea! I’m thinking that after this bracket is done, we could do another for gen tropes only because they deserve it <3

(As to whether gen tropes will win this bracket, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see? I feel like there could be some contenders 🤷‍♀️)

[best-fanfic-trope]

Reblogging this because I love changing tropes to make them more interesting, and to make them make sense in a real world! Also hanahaki that is not exclusively romantic just seems so fun to me! (Tags written by @fembutchboygirl )

Round 1: Hanahaki Disease vs. 5 + 1

Hanahaki:

Typically, flowers grow in a person's lungs if they experience unrequited love, and this usually requires treatment or removal surgery if the love remains unrequited, though variations on this concept can be made!

5 + 1

typically of the format "5 times ___ happened, and 1 time ____ happened instead", this is a short and fun format that can lead to some great fics

(read fics that people submitted)

#not bracket related #propoganda #fic rec

[best-fanfic-trope]

This reminds me: I didn’t mean for my descriptions to necessarily be the end-all-be-all of what the trope implies! I wanted to write something short and funny that could explain the vibe of the trope (especially for people who haven’t heard of it before), and also I wrote them all at like 1am 😅. So how you interpret the trope is ultimately up to you!! If you don’t vibe with my description that is completely valid <3 (and also I love hearing y’all’s interpretations and opinions!)

Round 1: Fake Dating vs. Redemption Arc

Fake Dating:

quick! you need someone to pretend to be your significant other for [insert social event here]! good thing you can ask your good close friend who you definitely don't have feelings for (that was a lie)

Redemption Arc:

antagonists or villains who learn and grow and give themselves another chance at figuring out what is right <3

(yall submitted fics!)
