Prelim Poll: Bionicle

Edit: Thornax typo (imagine this is in the flame text)

Propaganda under cut (including an ESSAY on Karzahni)

Thornax: when ripe, it becomes explosive. these are used as ranged weapons in gladiator fights on a giant desert planet. the planet got apocalypsed because of fracking, but that's not the point

Morbuzakh: the little meat robot mayor gets replaced by a power-hungry ex-protector whose job is to make fucked-up animals and shit. he's called makuta. he makes this semi-sentient plant, promises it that it can rule the city once it's done what he wants it to, and plants it in a fucking furnace. its job is to round up all the little meat robot civilians so they can be put into amnesia-inducing orbs. incidentally, its efforts result in some of them dying. six little meat-robot civilians get picked out by the local superhero and turned into big meat-robot superheroes. they go on a quest to find a bunch of magic frisbees in order to defeat the giant evil plant. the frisbees destroy the king root, and it dies

this plant is notable because, though it was mostly cut from the animated movie adaptation of that arc, it appeared in one brief scene that led to many bionicle fans developing a bondage kink

Karzahni: Makuta (see Morbuzakh propaganda) made karzahni. who was too smart and cool and powerful. so he did not get deployed. he is named after the legendary Lego Hell and Lego Satan where Bad And Naughty Disabled Robots Go For "Repairs" And Never Return. it's expensive to copyright names. they had to double up on occasion. or triple up. or quadruple up. anyway so Makuta who is also ANOTHER Lego Satan but that's besides the point, creates this plant. but the plant is too smart. so he puts it somewhere and forgets about it and makes the morbuzakh

NEW PARAGRAPH anyway so basically most creatures in this universe are immortal bar murder and fucked-up circumstances. no old age, basically. but this plant has one, because Bionicle Satan (Not Karzahni) makes his shit with limited lifespans so they can't wait for ten thousand years gathering their power and then kill-murder him to death. six big robot meat superheroes fight a fucking big monster in a tunnel. the cool smart one who used to be a teacher gets poisoned. but because karzahni (plant) is so fucking cool it can make an antidote. and it holds the antidote hostage in exchange for Cool Oil, which is oil from the apocalypse planet where the robot meat guys' creators are from, but they fracked too hard and split the planet into three pieces so that's a bit fucked-up and yet besides the point. anyway they get the magic juice and give it to karzahni (plant). previously in the story (but later in the timeline; this is a TWO-YEAR FLASHBACK EPISODE BABY) some other robot meat superheroes took a dunk in this cool fucking water and got mega-boosted powers. super-superheroes. but that's because god exists and has predetermined what can happen in each individual's life. those guys got Good Results From Applied Goo. karzahni (plant) does not. it just fucking. dies. it is then chopped up to make some lorries float so they can take the amnesiac sphere guys up to a cool new island they found, because their old island got FUCKING WRECKED

NEW PARAGRAPH anyway a cutting of karzahni survived (known as karzahni ii) with all the memories and shit of the real one and just sort of goes. FINE. i will join you, Lego Satan (not karzahni but the evil mayor impersonator) in gaslighting this mentally ill man into thinking he's short and his life is a lie in order to get the time travel device he made out of some magic fucking frisbees. karzahni took on the role of the morbuzakh. then the guy's like "this is bullshit" and gets thrown off a cliff but Karzahni II catches him and goes "hey. everything's alright. i tortured and killed a guy and he said you're doing good and everything is gonna be okay" and then the evil mayor impersonator (who by this point has not been impersonating the mayor for like. at least a week?) kills it. again. for real this time

Preliminary Round - Group B

Propaganda under the cut

Reiko

(no propaganda submitted)

Ahab

She's a gaslighting old hag with a voice actor putting their entire soul into the performance.

Imagine if they took captain Ahab from Moby Dick, trans’d his gender, and then made her an even worse person who gaslights her crew constantly into sacrificing themselves for her cause.

Maligned Yuri Bracket: Preliminary Round!

How is Aurora/Mulan (Once Upon a Time) maligned?

"Canonically, Mulan is about to confess her gay love for Aurora when Aurora happily tells Mulan that she and her prince are expecting a baby, so instead Mulan goes off on other adventures, getting close to Merida and Ruby (Little Red Riding Hood) and ends up with neither of them either...Mulan has it rough."

How is Jolyne Cujoh/Foo Fighters (Jojo's Bizarre Adventure) maligned?

"FF is killed by a catholic priest, then later the timeline is reset so that she never existed and Jolyne gets straight married"

is anyone else aware of the "rt identities" bracket currently happening on the official discord server? I found it when searching onceler bc I was bored. it's under the "rtgame conspiracies" thread in the forums board channel

Prelim polls: Plants vs Zombies

Only 1 will get through, propaganda under cut

Melonpult: Look, I know the obvious PvZ submissions are the peashooter (plus its different varieties), sunflower, maybe wallnut or tallnut. Those guys are like the mascots. HOWEVER... I need you to consider the Pults. And specifically Melon-pult. He's the middle child. He does the most damage per Sun. And he's the only pult who will INSTANTLY hit a zombie directly in front of him, instead of throwing the melon straight up into the air so it takes forever to drop on a dude a foot away from him. Respect Melon-pult.

Sunflower: they produce sun, which is the energy resource needed to place plants in this game, so they're very important. there's also at least one that has a talent for singing

Flower Pot: "I'm a pot for planting. Yet I'm also a plant. HAS YOUR MIND EXPLODED YET?"

Cattail: woof! woof woof woof!! :3

Gothi

She's tiny! She's cute! She's funny! She's a badass!

She stole the show. She was the only thing I processed after watching that entire movie in theaters.

Yamagata Tsumugi

She's so cool! She's a tailor and mask maker, which makes her cool instantly, but also she's human and is friends with ghouls, making masks for them and stuff! She's insanely cool

[overworkedblorbobattle]

Welcome to the Overworked Blorbo Battle Preliminary Round!

Many characters were submitted for this tournament so, in order to allow as many different blorbos into the bracket as I can, I’ve had to limit them to one per series. For most, i just included the most highly submitted character but there were a number of series with characters who had the same (or very similar) number of submissions. Therefore, I’ve created a preliminary round for you to vote on which character from each series gets to enter the bracket.

There will be 37 polls lasting 1 week each.

The polls will be separated into 3 waves. Each wave will be posted 24 hours after the previous.

The first wave will begin on Tuesday the 27th of June at 3PM BST

I've tried my best to only include official images for all of the characters on the polls but I'm not familiar with every series listed so, when the polls go up, if you notice I've used a fanart or cosplay image without permission or credit please let me know and I'll add credit and correct it for any future appearances of that character.

I apologise if I’ve accidentally spelled something wrong or used a wrong name for something, I’m not familiar with every series listed.

ROUND 1B! MATCH 6 OUT OF 8

Propaganda Under the Cut:

Akazukin:

She can roller skate and has cool arm blade weapons. She's also a silly magical girl.

while i dont know much about akazukin chacha and otogi jushi akazukin, i want to encourage everyone to vote for them because 1) they're both losing 2) they're such cute magical girls!!!! Literally magical girls are the best and so underrated. Feel like besides for the classic Sailor Moon, nobody cares about magical girls unless they're in some way dark or fucked up. justice for the sweet, cute magical girls! vote chacha and akazukin!

Elvira & Arabelle:

(Elvira) She's red riding hood, except mafia. Her basket has apple shaped granades. After Knight (the player) defeats her, she can't return cause her grandma kills every member of the mafia for failure, so she ends up going with them. Later she has a whole thing with getting mentored by a badass cowgirl elf, Rosetta who had started the Reservoir Snakes (the name of the mafia) with Elvira's grandmother. Rosetta only starts mentoring her after she learns that Elvira doesn't want to return to Reservoir Snakes, but spite Knight. Rosetta leaves Elvira with a giant weapon and even bigger bar tab.

(Arabelle) So I've submitted Elvira yesterday, but after thinking Arabelle fits too. She's was sold of to Reservoir Snakes as a a baby and trained by The Great Grandma (That's Elvira's grandma title). She's jealous of Elvira. (Also if you have to choose between them chose Elvira, she has more going on and is more red-hoody)
