BEST LONG-TIME PINING SHIPS: ROUND 4/SEMI-FINALS MATCH 1

(The blupjeans art was made by @herbgerblin !!)

Reasons to vote for each ship underneath the cut!

Blupjeans: fantasy nasa astronauts stuck in a functional time loop together spend 47 years slowly falling in love which culminates in them playing a beautiful duet with stunning narration about learning how to care for each other and be cared for (and then a couple more decades after that they rip their souls ouf of their still-living bodies to become terrifyingly powerful undead abominations together for eternity and it fucking rules) >:) Also Lup is canon trans so that rules too Royai: these two. they've been pining since they were (probably) teenagers and since then they've gone off to be war criminals together and then military bureaucrats and then revolutionaries in an attempt to atone for all the war crimes and they STILL HAVEN'T STOPPED PINING because overthrowing the country that made them war criminals is more important and I Couldn't Possibly Fraternize With A Superior Officer and If I Show Affection She Will Be A Target (she's a target anyway Roy good job) and he trusts her to be the one to shoot him if he goes down the slippery slope and they're still in the same command chain at the end of the series and are about to be even busier so they NEVER STOPPED FUCKING PINING

Level 1: character gets a redemption arc for something that's not really that bad because the writers are cowards and don't want to risk making them truly unsympathetic.

Level 2: character gets a redemption arc and the text just straight up refuses to specify what they actually did, but trust us, it was really bad. (AKA Schrödinger's war crime)

Level 3: character gets a redemption arc for something the writers clearly think is really bad, but it's... kind of not? (Bonus points if it's a weird gender role thing.)

Level 4: character gets a redemption arc for something that genuinely warrants it, but the writers seem to have very strange ideas about why it was bad.

“denied the catharsis of punishment” is an underappreciated but hugely effective narrative consequence imo

FUNKY LITTLE BALD CHARACTER POLL ROUND 1, GROUP 3

they're funky! they're little! they're bald! they're furries going up against a corrupt establishment, and we suspect they shop at the same outlet, but despite all that these gentlemen have in common, you'll have to pick one! and we're not biased even a little bit.

SPECIAL ABILITY ACTIVATED! if bido's final percentage of votes is ≤20%, he will WALL-CLIMB up to his opponent, resulting in a tie. we give him this ability because of our aforementioned lack of bias.

I love these two so much.
