OLD MAN YAOI BRACKET ROUND 1

Propaganda:

Bob Zanotto/Helmut Fullbear:

THEY LITERALLY MADE MR CRY THE FIRST TIME I PLAYED THE GAME. THEY LOVE EACH OTHER SO MUCH AND THEY FINALLY GET TO BE HAPPY TOGETHER. YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH THEY MEAN TO ME.

they are married in canon and are epic and amazing. they had sad canon events where bob thought helmut was dead for like 30 years or something but helmut WASN'T dead his brain was still alive and they are reunited in the game first by way of stealing an evil dictator's body and then later on they put helmut's brain in a ball as a temporary fix while they go out to find his body which has been frozen in ice. the game forces you to walk through bob's memory of saying his vows at their wedding ceremony and it's seriously some of the most romantic and heartwarming shit i've ever heard, especially "just when i thought i was turning to seed, you made me bloom again" like my god. i love them

they're gay and old as hell!!!! there's a level dedicated to their wedding!!!

Helmut is voiced by Jack Black and is currently a brain in a ball, and Bob knows him so well that the mental image of him in his drunken mind says things Bob KNOWS the real Helmut would never say. Also Helmut is temporarily in the body of a guy voiced by Elijah Wood-

Craig Cuttlefish/DJ Octavio:

well you see they used to be friends but were on opposite sides of the great turf war. cuttlefish gets a 14 year old to go stop octavios army. also they argue in splatoon 3 which is just part of the 100+ year divorce arc BUT AT THE FINAL BOSS IN THE JAPANESE VERSION THEY SHARE THE ICONIC LINE THAT CUES THE CALAMARI INKANTATION AND IN THE ENGLISH CUTTLEFISH TELLS OCTAVIO TO "HIT IT" AND START THE MUSIC AND MUSIC IS SO IMPORTANT TO THE SPLATOON UNIVERSE YAAAAA ik its grasping but its lovers to enemies

Literally I have seen so many people call this old man yaoi.

Old men divorce!!!

They're old men who made their divorce the problem of every young person in their lives <3. 100 years ago during the Great Turf War between inklings and octarians, Craig and Octavio were the chosen ambassadors of their respective species. They got along well, but unfortunately found themselves on opposite sides of the war. During one of the battles Craig shot Octavio in the heart. The inlkings won the war and the octarians were forced underground. For years afterward both men grew bitter towards each other, and eventually Octavio attacked the new Squidbeak Splatoon (a group of secret agents recruited by Craig). Octavio lost both times and got imprisoned in a giant snow globe (and Craig calls him cute). In the latest game Octavio got over his hatred for Inklings (Craig's species) and used his flying mech to help defeat the BBEG of the game. After the final fight, Craig said something to the effect of 'that old rascal turned out to be not so bad!'.

Alright ok hear me out! These two old men have fought in wars for their races against each other and have the craziest pathetic old man homoerotic tension ever. They like, went from at least respecting each other before the war and then they were forced to fight each other and then when Cuttlefish's side won, Octavio went underground like a pathetic lil wet cat and later on he kidnapped Cuttlefish because of game related reasons and both of them still have way too much homoerotic tension!!! And then Octavio gets owned and then in the second game Octavio decides that "Hey actually, lets kidnap Cuttlefish's granddaughter" and the old man isnt even there cause hes busy being a pathetic old man in the under-underground!!! And in the third game they go fron rival/enemies to reluctantly working together to save the world from actual extinction bc some durry bitch wants to cover it in fuzzy ooze and like, both of them have so much old man ship potential and just- theyre still pining for each other even after over a 100 years man,,,,

I personally headcanon Cap'n Cuttlefish as homophobic, but I see the ship a lot and think it's funny.

They’re both at least like 125 probably a bit older, they are so divorced, like peak lovers to enemies back to lovers, Cap’n Cuttlefish calls Octavio cute in Splatoon one immediately after you rescue him from Octavio kidnapping him? So dysfunctional, so gay, so old

They fought in the Great Turf War which was said to be over 100 years ago, Capn Cuttlefish was, well, a captain I believe (he had some sort of rank even if he wasn't a captain, like he led a battle that's singled out in the sunken scrolls of the first game). they act so divorced in the singleplayer mode like they cannot stop insulting each other specifically but octavio always comes back and like kidnaps or insults captain cuttlefish it's so. and when the great zapfish gets stolen in splatoon 3 captain cuttlefish is like "it's the octarians again i know it" like divorced behavior. also it wasn't this time and octavio gets super weird about it. maybe you should stop using children as props in your drama though.

my favorite war crime divorcees <3

They basically are friends to enemies to lovers. Both of them fought in a war that hurt DJ Octavio so bad he can’t become an inkling.

friends -> enemies -> lovers. what more is there to say

they are soooo divorced

they were so gay their breakup ended a war

Craig Cuttlefish got sucked dry by a bear

they got divorced but then they got remarried . they fuckinf hate eachother but they also make out sloppy style and i do not know how that works because neither of them have mouths in their swim form which they are both permanently stuck in. love wins but also loses at the same time with these fucking losers

they are sooo divorced omg. istg they were dating when they were younger and then war n shit happened and now theyre bitter exes who probably still make out sometimes. Makes it so much funnier that theyre old ass men (both over 100!) and Cuttlefish has grandkids

They were on opposite sides of a war and still fell in love

Ugly Outfits Tournament - Round 1 Side D

Propaganda under the cut.

Franky: A grown up man that goes around barefoot only in panties and an hawaian shirt..... that says all.

Sanji:

Do not like this man wear anything but the three piece suits EVER

Let's take this outfit one step at a time. You're first thought looking at it is "what are thooooooose???" Those being the bright orange crocs on his feet. Comfortable? Probably. Practically for man on his feet out on the ocean all day? Yes. Stylish? Absolutely not. Then you may trace your eyes back upward to the bucket hat - the least sexy of the hats. The light blue unbuttoned button up is almost salvageable in a different outfit, but then. Then we get to the shorts. Tri color shorts, but here's the kicker: none of the colors match anything else in the outfit. They do not match the shirt, they do not match the hat, they do not even match the crocs. In fact the *only* things in this outfit that match is the yellow on the shorts and the *pineapple* he is holding.

so so truly ugly. the most iconic of all ugly sanji outfits. if im the only one who submitted this one ill eat my shoe.

Bro….I physically cannot even explain this fucking outfit. Normally I’d start with the crocs, but the crocs aren’t even the problem here. You know what? I actually like the crocs, they match his shorts, it makes sense! But the uncoordination in color ???? The fact that his belt looks so bulky and mechanic but he’s ready to go to the beach ???? i’m just so confused

The Bucket Hat. The Barbeque Fork on the belt. The Crocs.

PROPAGANDA

Princess Elise Propaganda

"The game she's from was relentlessly dragged through the mud for years and years and Elise took the brunt of it. She's a teenage girl who due to spoilery circumstances can't cry or else she'll basically trigger the apocalypse, AND she's the ruler of her kingdom - and gets dragged into Eggman's plot and faces a ton of danger. She basically has never been allowed to let go, or be herself, or just do whatever she wants, or even show emotion - and her arc is about her starting to try and go against that and be free. BUT because she's a human girl everyone in the Sonic fanbase hated her for more than a decade."

"she did nothing wrong!!!! people love to villify her, pit her against other girls for no reason, and make her seem as selfish as can be even though she literally spends the entire game being pretty selfless. one moment of selfishness and of wanting a friend amidst her 10 years of loneliness makes her the worst person ever, even if SHE ACTUALLY DOESNT EVEN DO IT? she still gives up everything after all that time spent alone and it's like the only thing she does that's of (bad) note the entire game. the rest of the time she's being captured (by eggman), trying to help sonic (by pointing things out during gameplay), learning to be brave and growing as a person (escaping with Amy, running away from Eggman), literally giving herself up so no else gets harmed, and just being nice overall. people also love to say Amy hates her or something even though they literally become friends in the game? even after the kiss, they're clearly doing fine, Amy hugs her after they win. hello?? i just love her a lot and people are so mean to her? she's a sweet girl, she just wanted a friend and that makes her the worst i guess. she doesnt even go through with it😭"

Amy Propaganda

"Despite the fact that Sonic has said outright that she is important to him and someone he's glad to have around, fans choose to ignore that she is shown to be a good friend and has lots of friends- Cream, Big, Tails, Blaze, Knuckles, Shadow, Rouge(? They didn't seem to get along, but she invited Rouge to her birthday), Vector, Espio, Silver, E-102 Gamma, Elise, Belle, Sticks, and again, Sonic- in favor of pretending that she is a creepy, obsessive fanatic and a stalker who forces herself into Sonic's life and the lives of those around him without ever being wanted. It's quite frankly disturbing."

BEST LONG-TIME PINING SHIPS: ROUND 1 MATCH 11

Why you should vote for each ship under the cut!

Sunflower: Imagine pining for your best friend for years only for them to commit a crime and instead of y'know ratting them out you make the crime so much worst cause he couldn't possibly have done that nooooo. And then and then the one who committed the crime dips from the face of the earth to drown in their trauma of commiting said crime but they finally after years deal with their trauma so they can be with each other. Madohomu: homura had literally doomed herself into an eternity of trying her damnest to save madoka from her fate. the one thing she wanted the most, enough to wish it to become a magical girl, was to get a chance to save madoka from death. she LOVES this girl so much that she's subjected herself to eternally repeating the same month (months? i forget) over and over that the amount of time that she's been repeating this for has accumulated to over 50 years (i think was confirmed) just for a CHANCE that she can save her from sacrificing herself. AND. AND. WHEN MADOKA FINDS THIS OUT. SHE SACRIFICES HERSELF AND USES HER WISH TO LITERALLY BECOMES *GOD* AND REWRITE THE WORLD SO THAT HOMURA WOULDN'T HAVE TO SUFFER ANYMORE.

Round 1, Group 5

The Venus artwork by whatlizardry

Propaganda and spoilers under cut

The Venus: Her owner (?) Milo, who is a transmasc botanist, relies on her to transport him. She's kind of his wheelchair. ""The Venus is a huge mass of moss and vines covered in pink flowers, with a bloom the size of a trampoline in the center that contains her primary mouth. She is about the size of a house. The Venus is hungry and impulsive, eating any creatures she can. She has a habit of trying to eat people, but acquiesces to Milo's request that she only eat wildlife. Despite occasional complaints, she follows Milo's directions and moves him according to his wishes even when he is stopping her from doing something she wants. Venus seems to have no attachment to humanity in general, but loves and respects Milo. (from the Hello From The Hallowoods wiki)

Nirnroot: she loves to yell and scream at me when i am too not wearing my glasses to notice her on my screen <3

Main Brackets!

There are four brackets [Fave, Pretty, True, Four] comprising of 32 birds, for a total of 128 birds in this poll! I will reblog a version of this post with every bird listed via text within their bracket, so it is easier to find for those with image issues. It's gonna take a while to actually put the posts together for the first round, seeing as there are 64 battles happening, so expect the polls to go up around July 12th.

Below is a link for submitting any cool facts or info about the birds you want to win. It's not necessary to send info here, but I like to give the option to infodump about birds, and it helps with keeping things organized.

As per tumblr etiquette, you are totally free to reblog the polls themselves with as much propoganda as you want. These submissions are just to help me fill the poll post with some cool facts.

EDIT: for mobile users, this post has all the tags for the round 1 brackets, in place of having another masterpost. Everything is tagged with #Hipster Bird Main Bracket or its corresponding #Bracket: TYPE A style tag. Once we move on there shall be a new post.

#information #Hipster Bird Poll #submission form #Hipster Bird Main Bracket #I also did this so my inbox will maybe be a little more clear still #and this makes the info easier to sort through!

Medic (Team Fortress 2)

He’s literally THE medic. This guy’s done so much crazy shit to everyone around him, including successfully removing a man’s skeleton while still keeping him alive and implanting a baboon uterus and several fetuses in a guy without him knowing. He’s so incredibly unwell and should not be trusted with medical supplies around anybody

vs

You (Operation [board game])

Yes it is meta, but you are in the position of doctor as you remove the oddest parts from a patient in need. Please, this one is good.
