✨ glasses-wearing blorbos tournament ✨

Hello and welcome to the glasses blorbos tournament poll!! Where we will find out which spectacled character reigns supreme over the rest (but not in a mean-spirited way, because we love peace and love) (the losers will all DIE, badly).

We will be determining how the bracket is seeded (randomized or not, etc.) from YOUR guys' opinions! we'll start asking once the submissions close.

Once the poll starts, we encourage asks, replies, tags, posts, etc. with propaganda for your faves!!

you can start submitting your glasses-wearing blorbos NOW here!: link to the google form. but please read the rules below first.

rules:

be nice to your fellow real, living, breathing people.

no terfs no bigots no bitches

submit only via the form linked above; submissions via ask will not be accepted. only use the asks for questions, propaganda, and to be super nice to us

there is no deadline for the submissions yet. we will see when we close them once we start to get submissions, so please submit!

don't submit the same character more than once, but do make several submissions for several different characters if you so wish. you know how it goes.

in principle, we will only be accepting submissions for characters who wear glasses, NOT contacts, for like at least about 50% of their screentime. but it doesn't mean nobody else will be accepted! characters who wear them very rarely, wear a monocle, or have some other weird thing going on that we can't even imagine right now will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

keep in mind we are two people who don't know every piece of media in the world, and we can't spend all of our time doing research!! for this reason, try to provide evidence if it needs to be provided!

the criteria for who the superior glasses-wearer is up to you: do they represent the SPIRIT of glasses-wearing better? are they more iconic for the fact of wearing glasses than the other one? do they wear their glasses BETTER? or are they just your FAVORITE out of the two?!?! doesn't matter. but we're thinking it's mostly about the latter.

There are some characters we will be including by default because at least One of us Likes them (Velma Scooby Doo, Alphys Undertale, Berdly Deltarune, Kim Kitsuragi from Disco Elysium, Teru Mikami from Death Note... maybe more...)

mods:

yo! i'm glitz, i'm also @thesoupisburning and i'm here because i wear glasses and think everyone should know ! i'll be doing most of the mathy stuff and also if you say anythin mean to us, you're saying something mean to rat and i WILL come for you. heart :} use any and all pronouns for me or check my carrd via my main. i am very friendly and love attention so please. please interact. also im opinionated and super sexy trust me bro <3

hi I'm @ratbefriender she/her you can call me Rat and it all started when I was approximately 7 years old and I wore glasses to school for the first time. when my classmates started asking me how many fingers they were holding up, I knew I had to fight the good fight for our brave spectacled blorbos, despite the word blorbos not existing yet. anyway: we're just having fun <3 be nice to us. peace and love.

[wawawawawawawawawawawawawa]

hiiiiiiii we havent sent you any asks for some time. mostly because kanra didnt front much

[idk if you can recognize us after all the url changes]

ereyesterday our their of pissed suggested getting into an outpatient psychward and told us to think about it. and silver[headmate] made a post on the tumbler saying that this could be a bad idea because somewhat recently i made a hole in a wall and less than a week ago Lyra messed up a cupboard. as if we're the only ones who on occasion damage stuff when angered. this is literally so mean for no reason.

also. a few months ago shinra had an accident with a knife. and we got a fun new 1 inch long scar and possibly a little bit of nerve damage or something. and we were supposed to get some reminder tetanus shot around a month after that since i had no idea when was my previous tetanus shot. and i uhhhhhhh didn't get it since i'm scared of doctors, and it would probably seem quite weird if i went to a doctor about this now

also im sorta balding but. scared of doctors so cant do anything about that

last sunday i was in some social studies class or some other shit. and the teacher said something about how lgbt people were never oppressed in this country. which is a very bold thing to say as someone living in a country in which like a quarter of the area declared itself a "lgbt free zone" and only calmed down a little when the european onion told them that that's probably illegal. and i decided to argue with the teacher a bit. one of the things she said was that sometimes there's dudes in pup masks on pride parades, which invokes disgust and thus should be banned, and. idk why but i kinda expected teachers to have a bit more common sense than 14 year old twitter users. also i came to school wearing a spiked dog collar on a regular basis. [for reasons unrelated to kink.]

well. good thing i'm failing every single one of my classes lmao. at least i won't be invoking disgust in fragile old ladies

also. i just met a doggy and he was very niceys. very soft and friendly. and polite also.

HOW COULD I NOT RECOGNIZE U MY BESTIE IN CHRIST <3 u changed ur url a binch of times but ur icon remained the same sdlfndnfkjsnsdf so i was able to keep track!

i however do not understand a single word of that first paragraph. if u want my advice, DO NOT. FUCKING GO. TO A PSYCH WARD!!!!! idfc Who it helped, it hurts a lot more than it helps, theres NO WAY to tell which psych wards are good and which are shit. no really let me go thru them all rn:

REFERRALS: most professionals that work in different offices do not know each other on a personal level and may never hear of their bad stories. a doctor that was the chillest coolest doctor id ever met referred me to a psychiatrist that sucked fucking ass shit. there is no way to know for sure

GOOGLE REVIEWS: im gonna b real i dont trust some of those mfs. you seen the guys that go into psych wards? a lot of mentally ill people r internalizers and just accept whatever happens to them, and even if they arent, society looks down on the mentally ill SO MUCH that they could b told "you deserve this bc ur crazy" and due to all this societal gaslighting, theyd agree

REVIEWS ON OTHER WEBSITES: same thing lol

why is this so important? because you cannot Fucking leave a psych ward. an outpatient ward yeah you can leave, but ive been to both in and outpatient and they excert the same level of bullshit control over their patients. in outpatient, one of the therapist told me "you are not mentally ill" and made me cry lol. she MEANT to mean it in a "you're not mentally ill, you're ~suffering from a mental illness~ uwu dont let ur disorder define you" kinda way, but that concept was introduced in therapy..... two days after she told me this. like hello? and then she tried to spin it as like, it was a problem with Me i.e. My PTSD Was Triggered and not She Is Dog Shit At Timing The Explaining Of Concepts.

this place also invited my abuser into group therapy even after me incessantly telling them "this is my abuser, she will use all this against me" and yeah guess what she did immidiatley after lol

dont go to wards.

WRT THE KNIFE: damn :0 thats insane dude, hopefully the nerve damage will heal but from experience its gonna take like, a few years at minimum lmao. i had a Knife Incident involving my pinky and the nerve damage was so bad that i couldnt hold scissors w my pinky in the scissor loop thing but evenchually it got better but it took like 4 years. if the knife was clean and not rusty ur risk of tetanus is pretty low i THINK, do not quote me on this. if ur scared of doctors, look into if ur pharmacy offers tetanus shots! some pharmacies have vaccinations other than flu and covid (which i need 2 get lol rip) so u might be able to get one THERE and not see A Doctor about it!

u dont need a doctor for the balding. minoxidil my dear boy, its at walmart, its the stuff thats in rogaine. you want "minoxidil 5%" thats whats in rogaine, theres "minoxidil 3%" thats For Girls but idk ive never heard of anyone having a problem w it. IT IS TOXIC TO CATS THOUGH IT IS VERY VERY TOXIC TO CATS IF YOU HAVE A CAT DO NOT LET THEM FUCKING TOUCH YOU OR RUB ON YOU UNTIL IT DRIES ok? :) id google more if i were u but boom. problem solved. i am the doctor now

"dog masks invoke disgust and should be banned" babygirl disgust is subjective and like, someone could use that logic to ban whatever YOU like, or Are. maybe someone is really disgusted by lil old ladies bc the wrinkles look gross as fuck to them. should we quarrantine the grandmas?

also lol at the dig against 14 year old internet puritans and then surprise surprise guess what happened on This Very Blog while this ask was sitting n collecting dust!! i gotta b on my best behavior bc theres a nonzero chance that The Feds will be looking at this blog (did u know u dont report cybercrime to local police and instead theres a form on the fbi's website? Well Now You Know!) and that goes 4 all of u too. bart please be good..... for the love of GOD please be good....... please tell me yall know that simpsons scene

also also yay doggy!! was it a regular dog or a dude in a pup mask? either way very fun n cool!!!

#wasks #4 everyone else: im gonna turn asks back on but no anons for a lil while <3 #kanranon #missed u bestie!!!!! i was wondering when ud send another ask #tho ig ur not kanra ur toby sdjnksjdsndf but either way!! a message !!!

okay, so, like, I literally wasn't going to deal with my mom dying and stuff, cause, like, my uncle was handling it and seemed pretty clear on there not being anything. even tho I'm like 'well, technically I should have been at least told and given a chance to decide stuff, nevermind about any inheriting nonsense' lmao. whatever. and then I saw that they entirely left me out of the obituary.

like, wow, fucking rude. so I messaged my cousin again like 'hey any updates, does anyone need to contact me or anything like that' and she said that she thought they were doing probate so I should probably get a lawyer or contact someone and she tried to get them to put me into the obit and that my uncle is pissed it cost him $4k to get her cremated and mailed back and also said he was going to send me a letter (which is sus, like I assume he knows I needed to be told).

so I'm like 'okay, I'm gonna play dumb, not mention talking to you (cousin) at all, don't want to cause drama there, call the funeral home and see where they direct me'

so I call the funeral home and I'm like 'hey, I saw my mother's obit online. I didn't know she died, no one told me.' and the poor woman on the phone was like 'oh no' lol and 'you're her child? we were told there weren't any children. you should have been contacted.' and I had to assure her that I didn't blame her or the funeral home, they couldn't have known and she said that she was going to talk to the main funeral guy and apologizing left and right and then she put me in contact with a probate attorney they recommend.

I call up the attorney and she knew my mother, like on a friendly basis. so fucking bizarre. and we're talking and she's got really similar fucked up parental relationships and stuff. and she's asking if I can come down to flordia and go through the house and there's no way to do that, but she's fine with that, she's gonna investigate, check the house out, maybe send her paralegals, and I do not know what the house is like, I don't know how much of a mess or whatever, but it has to be dealt with and sold or given back to the bank or whatever.

and I told her, like, I don't have money, I can't be out of pocket for, like, anything... but she seemed pretty understanding and that she'd deal with it out of the estate.

so now there's all this nonsense for me to deal with, but, like, unless she disowned me or had a will about this stuff... legally my uncle should have passed it to me to deal with in the first place.

I bought a cat plushy on impulse today and tbh when i did so i thought i was going to regret it eventually bc, yaknow, impulse buy, but i’ve been keeping it as close as possible from me ever since i got it (it is currently right under my chin) and it’s so soft and cute so i have no regrets.

As a note though, when i bought it in the store i was hesitating with others cat plushies and when i went to the checkout and was waiting for the vendor to come in some guy who was in the store with me apparently saw my hesitation and realized that i was buying the plush for myself because of how i was holding it and went “aw this is cute i see it’s in good hands. You’re not going to take its brother? you’re separating them? abandoning it??” all teasingly and it was the greatest guilttrip in the world. that’s the story of how I got bullied at a plushy store.

(though tbh he was pretty fun and i was playing along so it was all in good fun but stILL DLKJFDLF)

#LIKE LEGIT I DIDNT MIND LET IT BE CLEAR #it was clearly teasing and i was laughing along so he was teasing more in return in all good fun #probably bc like. clearly Adults:tm: in a toystore #in my defense i came in to check if they had new puzzles bc this is how i spend my lockdown days #but they had none that interested me and the plushy caught my eye. rude. #and idk like. #last time i bought a plushy in store i got teased by the shopkeeper #bc '...... so let's be honest with me: you're not planning to gift it right. it's for you.' #I DONT KNOW how people clock me as 'i buy plushies for myself' #but yeah that other time it felt very 'you - an adult? - buy plushies?' #while there it really felt 'hello plushy appreciator it's guilttrip time' so it was funnier #idk if i make sense #i talk to very few people lately irl so random fun exchange with strangers make me happy #i also passed by my favorite bubble tea place and it warms my heart that #the shopkeeper recognizes me bc of how often i come in #and that we're on at least friendly basis like asking how we're doing and stuff (which isn't usual from shops in here btw) #(since i've seen it is in the US and it really is not here lmao it's only if you're a Regular:tm:) #and it was heartwarming that she just welcomed me immediatly like 'good afternoon how are you?' #'so let me guess - straberries tea with those bubbles? just how many are you taking today' #and im. heart warmed by strangers just knowing little things about me #aNYWAY #ichatalks

Apologies for the wall of text but I need some advice and it's a lot to unpack: I have a co-worker that I had feelings for, for about three weeks in November-December 2019, just the beginnings of a crush and an infatuation but nothing really serious. He noticed and let me down gently for a number of reasons: we work together, he's got almost 10 years on me (I'm in my 20's, he's in his 30's). It hurt, but I got over it pretty quickly and I actually appreciated him letting me down gently and setting things straight rather than stringing me along and getting my hopes up. So we were friends for a while and it was nice. But after a while he was also acting like a boyfriend would, minus all the physical stuff. Like, he woud drive me places and take me for lunch or coffee and we had a few movie days together and he would text me on a nightly basis, sometimes at really late hours when he was finished work (he was a custodian at the time but has since moved departments). And it was making me be like "????"

And then he became really distant in February-March of 2020 and he was sort of infantalizing me/teasing me about something that I said offhandedly about working a lot keeps me out of trouble as a joke. Like a lot. To the point where it was annoying me. So I was like "okay, I need to set some boundaries" (something that I admittedly need to work on). And I was going to. So in the days after the pandemic/lockdown was announced I texted him and I was like "hey, we need to talk, can we meet up?" because I do this sort of thing better in person. And he was like "I don't think that's safe right now, why don't we talk on the phone?" which I hate, it gives me anxiety but I was like, fine, okay whatever. And I totally fumbled the bag and didn't set any boundaries. I don't even remember what I said but he could tell I was upset and thought it was about his rejection of me in the winter, which it wasn't. I just wanted some clarity. And then it was really awkward after that (still is) and we dropped out of touch apart from a text here and there that was very performative. And then I didn't see him for like five months because of the lockdown and I wasn't stressed or sad about him? Like it took me until about June to realize that he was making me stressed and sad and that I was mad at him for jerking me around like that. My mom and my best friend and my cousin all said to cut contact with him at least for the time being.

So then when I was called back to work, we saw each other again and while we're cordial, it's very clear that we're walking on eggshells with each other. My friend/roommate who works at the same place thinks that maybe he was overcompensating for rejecting me and trying not to hurt my feelings, but in doing so ended up doing just that. Part of me wants to try again in person and clarify what I wanted to say and establish those boundaries. I was not in a good place last March compared to now and I think we both want to be friends but there's that awkwardness still there. Should I maybe try again and clarify what I wanted to say even though it was a year and a half ago and insist that it's done in person?

If you still want to be friends with this person, then sure. Absolutely. I would maybe ask him to have some coffee and a friendly chat. Tell him how you were feeling and establish those boundaries. I now you are not quite as close as you were then, but it's good for you to let your feelings be known on it.

Then you can move on and either go back to being cordial or resume a friendship with a clear set of boundaries.
