Transmasc Swag Polls- PRELIMINARIES

Propaganda and other info under the cut.

Why are these characters in the prelims?

There are several FNaF characters already with a spot in the polls, and this is an attempt to cut some of them down. Also, these two were submitted in the same form, and while I do not allow double-submissions it tickled me to have this fixed by just having the voters pick between them

Henry Emily Propaganda-

he is a depressed old man so he is automatically trans to me. he is so so silly. he makes robots :3

(Poll Runner: Henry's a single father who is extremely depressed after the death of his daughter. He haunts the entire narrative and dies in more timelines than he survives in. He truly is a sad old man)

William Afton Propaganda-

Poll Runner: His entire body is covered in scars after getting caught in his own invention, what's top surgery to add one more. This is Purple Guy mister Man Behind the Slaughter what more do you need me to write here tbh

Swag Preliminary #1: Arcane/LoL

Sevika: Amputee (Left Arm)

Status: Canon disability

Propaganda:

She is so fucking cool. Yes she is a villain but she is so hot about it she can do whatever she wants. Her prosthetic is customized to help her fight, and we see her doing her own repairs/upgrades on it. It moves like an actual robotic piece of equipment, instead of a perfect mimic of a flesh arm which I appreciate, and again Sevika is just cool as hell.

Jinx/Powder: Autism, BPD, Dissosiation

Status: Disabled-Coded

Propaganda:

Canonically experiences psychosis and flashbacks. Displays many signs of Borderline Personality Disorder, such as fear of abandonment, stress-related paranoia, unstable and intense relationships (see: reunion with Vi), mood swings, impulsive and risky behavior, and inappropriate and intense anger. Seems to view Powder (her past self) and Jinx as different people, such as when she makes Vi choose between them. Autism-wise, I'll refer you to this post.

All of these are on the cusp of making the polls, so help break the tie! The bottom two will unfortunately be eliminated and the remainder will be seeded based on the results.

update: did my math wrong it may be only the bottom one (1) being booted. the stakes have been lowered at what cost.

Preliminary battle 16

Feng Xin & Mu Qing (heaven’s official blessing) vs Wei Wuxian, Jiang Cheng & Nie Huaisang (the untamed/MDZS) vs Shen Qingqiu & Shang Qinghua ship name: cucumberplane (Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System)

Feng Xin & Mu Qing

They disguised themselves as their own subordinates with really shitty fake names so they could help out their friend (who saw through it immediately but said NOTHING ABOUT IT for like, months). Also whilst they CAN work well together their bickering and fighting gets them into So Many Situations, and they have not learnt from this in 800 YEARS.

Wei Wuxian, Jiang Cheng & Nie Huaisang

In fandom spaces, they are affectionately referred to as the "One Braincell Trio", and for good reason. You have Wei Wuxian, the genius of his generation, Jiang Cheng, sect heir and grumpy purple grape, and Nie Huaisang, lazy layabout allergic to responsibility (but secretly smart as hell) - and when you put them together, you're lucky to find one braincell in working order. Whether it be cheating on tests, skipping school responsibilities, chasing wild chickens for food, or organizing parties with booze and porn, these boys are the ones you go to.

Cucumberplane

They will save the world, kill the main character, then go “can we go get burgers”

Transmasc Swag Polls- PRELIMINARIES

Propaganda and other info under the cut. Michael Afton art by @askerror87

Why are these characters in the prelims?

It's genuinely up for debate whether these are the same man or not. In my personal opinion, they are reflections of each other and this is backed up with the FNaF movie taking elements of both the games (where Michael Afton is the protagonist) and the books (where Michael Afton arguably doesn't exist). I will be upfront and say I would like to have both in the actual polls if possible. However, it didn't sit right with me to run these two in the same poll without having a second pass for this.

Mike Schmidt Propaganda-

My transmasc friend (with abundant amounts of tboy swag) was trying to figure out what charmed him about Michael in the fnaf movie until he finally had a lightbulb moment and yelled “OH HES A TRANS BOY. HE JUST. HE JUST LOOKS LIKE A TBOY”. I trust his judgement. Takes one to know one. Also just looking at how Mike dressed in the movie I just know he had several disphoria hoodies ready to go. His power is being sad and trying his best to be a good older brother. Give him a medal.

Michael Afton Propaganda-

"you cant just have an irreversible process happen to you that makes you see yourself as some sort of monster without being a trans allegory sorry"

Pollrunner: His entire life and arguably most defining touch on the whole series is cast in the shadow of his father. The actor who voiced him in the like seven lines he has in the games intentionally chose to make Michael's voice quieter and softer and lacking William Afton's signature hard rasp. It's implied and a personal headcanon that the character Old Man Consequences, one of the kindest and most straightforward characters in FNaF and the few who cannot and does not actually kill the player, is actually Michael. Canonically according to the logbooks he's a wonderful artist, a complete snarky bitch when he's nervous and he stims. He has just enough characterization to have concrete facts about but is largely a mystery to us and I think that's pretty swaggy.
