i'll also make sure that reblogs are turned on for the final version!)

#vocaloid song showdown #sorry it's just a list for now i promise i'll update it and make it look nicer as soon as i get the chance :'D #i'll also add the playlists to the final post so those will finally be out soon too !#but for now it's just a quick little post to get the matchups out sooner rather than later since this is already kinda behind schedule :')#anyway it's still kinda bonkers to me that only one person nominated po pi po and electric angel #those songs used to be Everywhere it felt like #and unless i continually missed it no one sent in llevan polka :(#(to be fair itnisn't originally a vocaloid song. idk if i could fully qualify it bc of that but still shocked that it got no nominations)#oh also ! until i have the image finalized if anyone thinks any matchups should be tweaked at all feel free to lmk !#i was mostly judging popularity based on nominations and view count (reprints included) but it was hard to tell for some ???#like i remember a whole bunch of reprint channels getting deleted or privating all their videos and i'm sure that impacted some view counts #and rolling girl in particular has a lot less views than i thought it would ???#it's not a small amount by any means but it also seems to be on the higher side of the average for the final bracket songs #it was also unsurprisingly the most nominated song #so some of the matchups were a bit weird and wonky to put together fhdkfh #(especially echo actually too ? it got 2 nominations and barely made it but has the highest view count out of all the songs last i checked)#anyway all that to say if anyone wants to give feedback on the bracket pairings i'm open to it until i get the formal version up ( ^^)b #additionally if i missed any songs that should have some sort of warning please let me know fhdkdh #i added them only off the top of my head so i might've missed one #(the final version of this will have more specific warnings too. potential flash warnings as well)#EDIT :: changed up within 24 hours to up soon #i wish i could've had everything together within 24 hours but things came up and i need just a little more time :(#but i wanna get started on voting monday (february 27) for real this time ! no more putting it off :'D

I feel like setting December as the possible beginning of the new EoA tournament was really ambitious of me

#Personal #Ajshnfjf #Okay it’s mostly for the reason I’m unnecessary complicating everything #but I don’t want to stop halfway through so #Anyway it’s 100% going to happen but more likely closer to the middle/end of December #Or on the first of December already because worrying about deadline and then completing the whole task in couple days is my typical behavior #We have 100+ freaking songs #which means 50+ matchups #эх #I’m seriously thinking of posting at least two matchups in one day #becuase otherwise the whole round 1 will be lasting for like two months and it’s ummm meh #really meh #But I can already sense how painful it’s going to schedule all these matchups #I’ll be rechecking it until my eye starts twitching #Ajhdnfj alright I’m exaggerating the last tournament was fun #and I’m sure the next one is going to be fun too #Even if I know my favourite song won’t be a winner✊🏻😔

Hi! Its me again😭💀. Could you do Chainsaw man and Avatar the Lat Airbender matchup for me please😭. I love your matchups. Also congrats for 500 folowers <3

OMG YESSSSSS!!! you literally dont know how much it means to me that you always come back for more matchups because it means im doin good!!!!

we're gonna start of strong with CSM

the character I chose for you is...

AKI!!

serious relationship you ask????

this is your man

he wants nothing more than a real raw beautiful relationship and now that he has to take care of two annoying children, it's nice to have someone like you to calm his nerves because mans is already getting gray hairs i can feel it in my soul

read to him

like especially after work

denji and power call it bedtime story time, so you do end up reading to all of them, but nonetheless, aki loves bedtime story time

you're both pretty introverted, so you two never worry about having to go out and deal with people, so it's mostly just you two

he will 100% cuddle you and watch anime or k-dramas

he acts like he hates the k-dramas, but he is WAITING for the next episode like it could kill him if he doesnt get to see what happens next

this man LOVES that you're a little thicker! like it makes cuddling 10x better for him and hugging you will put him to SLEEP

he will also kiss you up and down your thighs while smiling at you and calling you beautiful tee hee

would love to play with your hair or just pull it up into ponytails to watch the curls poof

he thinks he's a bad cuddler or doesnt cuddle too often, so you're going to get a lot more words of affirmation out of him, so please cuddle him

he is now baby, you cuddle him lol

but he does love hugs

just know he loves you with all of his heart and soul <333

sweet lord i love aki

NOW MOVING ON

to atla!

the character I chose for you is...

ZUKO!!

is he a little awkward?

yes.

is he adorable and super sweet???

also yes.

is he perfect??

hecc yeah

he is a little introverted himself, so you two get along really well in that aspect

he is also one for a serious relationship because building a close relationship is so important to him, so he is more than willing to do it with you

tell him about the books you're reading and he'll tell you all about the ones he's reading

you both love books and stories so you two always end up geeking out together lol

hugs will happen a lot, but not clingy hugs or jumpscare hugs

it will be like a genuine loving hug where he wraps his arms around you and you wrap your arms around him

and then he'll whisper how much you mean to him in your ear

STOP I LOVE HIM OMG

~~~~~

What makes Floyd Leech a member of team white chocolate?

*Please read theses before moving on for more context: 2 Lines & A Circle : In-depth Description: White Chocolate (tumblr.com)

I think this might shock people to find out that Floyd is on team white chocolate not team mint like his brother Jade. Even so, Floyd doesn’t have the traits of a mint in fact, Floyd has a lot of white chocolate traits instead. For instance, have you seen the way Floyd looks at Epel in his SSR for Happy Beans Day! Someone tell me that you didn’t feel anything from looking at the photo. A mint would look at you that way.

It’s not just that, but as unpredictable as Floyd is, he doesn’t have the refreshing mint air about him like Jade does. Like in Floyd’s ceremonial robe story, he chooses to dance after getting bored with the drums. This may have looked like an unexpected move from Floyd and it is, but it doesn’t have that refreshing air it has more of a cute or sweet air about it. Which is what sets him apart from Jade who is a mint.

Just to point out, in Jade’s chef outfit story Rook eats a dish that has a twist on it. This came out as refreshing in a mint style as it wasn’t expected that the real reason Jade joined master chef was to experiment his mystery food on others. In that sense Floyd would join team white chocolate as he falls on the more sweet side.

As far as devotion goes this won’t apply to hobbies, rather it’s people who real him in. Azul for instance is someone Floyd voluntarily hangs out with and never gets bored. For Floyd and Azul to have been friends for so long takes devotion. So even if he tends to get bored at hobbies, when it comes to people he will devote himself to them. Plus in book 3, Floyd had only gone to help the Mc/Yuu after he witnessed how Azul was behaving in his overblot form. This shows his devotion to turn Azul back. I’m sure we all know by now that devotion is such a key part in team white chocolate, needless to say Floyd has a lot of it and would probably have a lot to his lover.

As far as my recommendations I would say Yamato Kougami from My Forged Wedding is your guy if you’re a fan of Floyd.

My forged wedding tells the story of the MC being in a fake marriage with one of the suitors to help them out. All of which are friends of your Uncle, who isn’t really your Uncle but a close friend but you just call him Uncle. In Yamato’s route you will experience several moments of sweetness along with moments where the two fight against each other. This is somewhat how I picture Floyd to be like in a relationship. He’s sweet but not too sweet because Floyd and his lover can still argue but get along.

For similarities, the two have some mood swings, not all the time but it is present. Yet they are also able to draw in a room of attention, like you want to be close to that guy. Overall Yamato Kougami from My Forged Wedding is a great choice for those who are into Floyd.

OMG I LOVE THE FRUITY FOUR POKEMON AU!!!!

The thing is, there are a ton of picks that you put on everybody's teams that I thought were kinda a given, like giving Eddie a toxtricity, because YES GUITAR POKEMON. But then you had really thoughtful picks, like Steve's galvantula, Robin's vaniluxe, Nancy's Sylveon, and Eddie's Crobat, to name a few!

I also love that you gave each Pokemon a story behind it, you gave us a reason why each member of the fruity four would have that Pokemon and how they encountered it. Some of them, I was just going "awww" over! And some made me giggle, like Nancy's Octillery getting stuck in Eddie's hair!

Speaking of Nancy though....

Why does her Sylveon think that STEVE broke NANCY'S heart? Wasn't it the other way around? A genuine question, because I don't remember the scene from the party well, but I'm pretty sure it was Nancy getting drunk and saying she didn't love Steve, right? Or is my memory faulty?

Either way, each Pokémon that you've given the characters is representative of one of their traits or part of their character development, and I love it! Thank you so much!!!

ty!!!! 🥺🥺 to be honest i was poring over my document for this one for like 2 days straight cause i was so invested LOL, i figured it wouldn't be super popular so I'm surprised and I'm so glad you liked it!!! mwah!!!

as for Nancy's Sylveon (i definitely didn't explain it as well as it sounded in my head LMAO) i was inspired by an older episode of the animated pokemon series, where they mentioned that pokemon that evolve through friendship are super loyal but can also be super biased--I kind of framed it so that her Sylveon in particular has always comforted her, so it's always on her side even when she's in the wrong heh. especially since, when you have a fight with your partner or a bad breakup (at least in my experience) and you're venting to a friend, you usually end up painting yourself in a better light than you do the other person regardless of the circumstances, which is why I thought it'd be funny for Sylveon to have this kind of one-sided, semi-confusing beef with Steve that Nancy probably is really embarrassed about LOL

#i had soooooo many alternates too i cycled through so many team matchups LMAO #i added obstagoon at the last second bc i remembered piers had one and he's a fellow long-haired metal hottie <3 #also it made me giggle that you listed off the pokemon additions u rlly liked bc they're some of my faves!!!#although i have a list of fave pokemon as long as my arm LOL #fruity four #nancy wheeler #st 4 #stranger things #pokemon au #ellie chats #anons

✧.* | personality matchup for @shujivenus !!

notes :: thank you for entering— we hope you’re satisfied with our service <3 keep well and have a lovely day :)

romantic matchup #3 is…

the calm shoto brings to the table would bring balance to the two of you. he might’ve been a little dense to your passive-agression at first, but was quick to lean into the affection you offered as friends— going onto melting into it with the growth of your relationship. shoto finds comfort in watching you exist if you let him. a simple stroke of your pencil on paper, a little sing-along to your music or even a little ramble about the latest addition to your manga collection bring him ease as he settles with you— even offering his own thoughts about your blorbo theories— if you’ll have him.

romantic matchup #2 is…

pure aggression comes to clash with a passive form of itself when you and katsuki meet. with recklessness on both sides, one would think a pairing between the two of you would be unlikely at best.

yet, nobody knows how your company eases katsuki when all he needs is something to listen to.

somehow, you’ll find him silent as he takes in any theories you have about the latest character you find yourself adoring, or co-existing with the scratch of your pen / pencil on paper as he gets something of his own done while you draw. the sun your energy brings is something he never knew he’d enjoy, yet without it his day doesn’t feel just right. you’re someone who gives in handing physical touch rather than wanting to receive it— and katsuki is (even though he can say otherwise— he never means it) happy to simmer into your touch and just listen to and about all that is you.

romantic matchup #1 is…

nothing screams more ride-or-die than the fire that burns between you and dabi. your flames started as if their base was gasoline— flickering so wide one would think they’d cause damage if they weren’t extinguished. the two of you are unmatched with the cut your passive-aggression has towards those you’re not comfortable with. your recklessness can, at times, mix with his own in a way that can be terrifying for those who don’t know you too well.

these offensive flames calm with the passage of time, burning enough between you for warmth to let something similarly warm stay. there’s nothing quite like conversations in the dark about your interests, he’s sure. the soft tunes drifting through the atmosphere of your room, with your voice going on about everything under the bright moon— face matched with a light smile perhaps— set a certain softness in the laziness of dabi’s blue eyes. yet, because good things come with balance, your energy is something that could never tire him out, no matter how many times he claims otherwise.

the way his lips pull back to show a grin at your antics is something that betrays his lie, time and time again.

#— angel’s holiday workshop ! ⍋ ⊹#each one is longer than the last 😭#eeeeeek this is my first matchup so i hope its okay <3 #thank you once again for entering !#this event is still open for some entries !

likes, reblogs, and replies are always appreciated <3

“And we’re on in five, four, three, two…give ‘em hell.” The roar of excited applause jumbles together with the late-night show’s opening theme and the screams of excited fans can still be heard even as Kirishima flashes a blinding smile to the camera.

“Good evening, everyone, and welcome to Heroes on Heroes! We’re so glad you’re joining us tonight, seeing as this is the finale of season one!” The audience cheers with fiery passion and it makes the three heroes onstage chuckle nervously. This was going to be a long night, especially if the superfans were crying after every word they spoke. “I’m Red Riot,” he pauses while the cheering erupts once again, “and I’m joined by my fellow pros, Chargebolt and Dynamight.” You wince from your place at sidestage from the sheer wave of noise that slams into your eardrums when the latter is introduced.

“Thanks for having us tonight, man,” Denki grins. He eagerly drums the armrests of his chair, to the left of Kirishima. “I’ve been looking forward to doing one of these since I saw Deku’s a few weeks back.”

“It’s a great concept, really. I love being able to just chat with you guys and shoot the shit about hero stuff. It’s so manly.” Kirishima turns expectantly to the other hero sitting to his right, whose hot-headed nature was blatantly obvious by how he was slumped in his chair, squinting slightly at the burning spotlights and clicking cameras. You admire Kirishima’s confidence in forcing Katsuki to say something. “What about you, Bakugo? How’re you feeling tonight?”

“I’m alright,” he shrugs indifferently. Your breath catches in your throat and you can hear the Dynamight agency’s publicist put his head in his hands. “It’s been a while, so it’s good to see you guys,” he adds with unexpected fondness and you exhale in relief. His eyes meet yours for half a second and he shoots you a wink that makes your knees wobbly. “I saw that save at the bridge collapse last week, Shitty Hair. Pretty decent work.” Kirishima blinks once, twice, and then glances at Denki. Katuski’s blank look narrows into a scowl. “The hell are you looking like that for? I got shit in my teeth or something?”

“No, no. Sorry, man,” Kirishima laughs. “I just wasn’t expecting a compliment from you so early in the show.”

“Yeah, we thought we’d have to booze you up a little more to get you to be nicer,” Denki jokes and he recoils a bit when he’s struck with a molten hot glare from the hero across from him.

“Whatever you’re about to say, bro, don’t say it,” Kirishima warns and the crackles in Katsuki’s palms gradually dissipate. “But, I’m wondering too. What’s with the good mood?”

“I guess I feel like playing nice tonight,” he answers cryptically, his gaze flicking over to you again with amusement. You can almost sense the fainting girls falling over each other in the front row. Kirishima’s attention subtly darts over to you and a knowing smirk grows over his face. It was the first time you and Katsuki were at the same press event, since you both thought it was too dangerous to sneak around until now. “But, talk about that bridge save. I don’t think a lot of people know that the guy was wanted by several agencies.”

“Ooh, yeah,” Denki agrees with a quick sip of his drink. He swallows and sets the glass down with a light thud. “He’d been giving us hell for weeks. It's not really the best matchup for a sand villain to be going up against an electric hero.”

“It was the sand villain and his wife, wasn’t it? That chick with the melting Quirk?”

“Yep, they were a nasty couple to deal with,” Kirishima confirms. “I had to keep track of this guy’s damn sand spikes and his wife turning the floor to goop at the same time.”

“Goop is a weird-ass way to put it,” Katsuki points out with obvious distaste.

“Yeah, but he was a pretty goopy guy.” Chuckles ripple through the audience and you can’t help breaking a smile too at Kirishima’s joke.

“I think for me, at least,” Denki adds, “the biggest pain was the fact that they were married, and they had, like, marriage telepathy or something.”

“Bro, I thought that was just me! Here I was, thinking that I’d incapacitated one and split them from the other, when bam! Both of them appear in front of me like a damn genie.”

“You ever have to deal with villain couples, Bakubro?”

“Nah, not recently. We’ve been doing a lot of big raids on all the crime families downtown.” He flexes his right bicep and pulls back the sleeve of his shirt to show a gnarly purple spot growing on his skin. “Got this little beauty three days ago from a neo-Hassaikai asshole.” You're not fazed by the ugly shade of the wound because you were the one who stitched up the...less visible results of the raid.

“Jeez, man,” Denki says in disbelieving awe at his friend’s injury. “If you ever need backup, we’d love to do a team up with you.”

“I think I’d rather die–”

“My agency would also love to team-up with you,” Kirishima interjects before Katsuki can finish his thought. The heart rate monitor of his publicist begins to rapidly beep behind you. “We can have a threeway team-up! That’d be pretty cool, don’t you guys think?”

“What if we all just merged into one big super agency? Like a big family?”

“That sounds like the stupidest shit–” Again, Kirishima cuts off Katsuki’s brash protests and saves them from being taken off the air.

"That would be so awesome."

“Would that mean we’d have to get pro-hero partners, too? Keep hero work in the family?”

“I think Salonpas would have heart palpitations if we said we were trying to keep hero work within the family,” Katsuki points out and his friends nod in agreement. “On another fuckin’ note, that Half-and-Half idiot keeps hogging the number two spot and it pisses me off.” Though you didn’t often encounter Todoroki while you were on patrol, you knew that he was adamant about keeping work life and family life separate. It made him even more of a dedicated hero and a recent bust of a notorious crime ring bumped him into the number two spot over Dynamight for that month. You didn’t hear the end of it from Katsuki.

“He and Deku just work really efficiently, Bakubro.”

“I can efficiently slam both their skulls into a–”

“You know what would solve that problem?” Denki butts in unceremoniously, covering up his harsh words for a third time. Katsuki grunts in response and the lightning-decorated hero gives him enthusiastic finger-guns. “Combining and making a family agency.”

“What are the chances that Sero would want to join too?”

“Probably pretty high,” Kirishima guesses. “He’s at my place every other week, anyway, so he’s basically my brother.”

“Alright, maybe this could actually work, then. I just need to find a smoking hot hero wife.”

“That’ll probably be the hardest part, buddy–”

“What about Bakugo?” You stiffen and the three guys turn their attention to a voice calling out from the audience. Speaking during the interviews was strictly prohibited until the question and answer section, but getting Katsuki’s attention was a surefire way to derail the entire episode.

“The fuck do you mean, what about Bakugo? Who the fuck said that?”

"Dude, just ignore them."

“Can’t be a family agency if Bakugo never gets into relationships,” the same nasally, irritating voice argues and your face feels like it’s been set on fire. Kirishima’s attention jumps to you for a moment and then back to his friend, whose palms are starting to spark like fireworks. “Do you just get no bitches, or something?” The audience gasps and security finally arrives to escort the disturbance out of the building. The director is ready to stop the cameras and jump to a commercial break, but Katsuki speaks before he can order the sound crew to cut the mics. To everyone’s surprise, his voice is nothing but amusement, like the insinuation didn’t bother him in the slightest.

“You think I don’t get into relationships?”

“Bakugo…”

“It’s alright, Pikachu. I really don’t give a shit about whatever that guy said,” Katsuki reassures his friend with a sly glint in his eye. His friends watch him warily, like a grenade on the verge of exploding. Once again, burning red eyes meet yours with a single question that you answer with a resolute nod. “I’m not gonna blow up, so stop looking like that. Really, I don’t care.”

“Why not?” A tense beat of silence passes, then–

“I thought you people knew that I’m married.” A shit-eating grin spreads across your husband’s face as gasps of shock burst from the audience. Kirishima and Denki both shake their heads in exasperation. They knew already, of course, but they didn’t expect him to reveal his relationship status as a result of a heckler. “Yep, going on a year and a half, now. Around five years together total coming this winter.” More collective cries of jealousy, surprise, and betrayal shake the building’s foundation. "If you don't believe me, ask these guys."

"Yeah, we were at the wedding, too. It's hard to keep it a secret when all of your friends are also high-profile heroes."

“Can you guys believe that he fell in love during the winter?” Denki’s thumb juts out toward his friend, who frowns at the mere mention of cold weather.

“I fucking hate the winter,” he grumbles.

“We know, man,” Kirishima says sympathetically, unsuccessfully hiding a chuckle. “You’ve been saying that since high school.”

“Yeah, and shit hasn’t changed,” Katsuki bites back with lighthearted indignance. “Look, they saved my ass when it was cold; how was I not supposed to fall in love with them?” To your delight, his complexion has turned a slightly darker shade of pink. “Yeah, I love them. What about it, asshats?”

“Is this a bad time to bring up the family agency again?”

“Let’s go to commercial before I blow this fucking chair to pieces.”

When will be the next available match form to fill out??? and will it always be in Teyvat??? or will there be more universal love across the galaxy even involving a certain space train 👀👀????

-🎧Anon

Hi! As for that, it honestly depends. The next one won't be focused onto a form or matchups this time, and it'll be more like... Getting to know our candidates better (the guys + everyone else at Celestia Inc., excluding the boss).

I might open a new one for HSR though, but that will be in the future because man. Man handling this takes a lot more braincells than it does.

(and tbh if we open one I am going to open the floodgates of fucking JING YUAN SIMPS AND HONESTLY? GAME ON.)

GRAND FINALS OF TUMBLR'S FASHION DISASTER TOURNAMENT GOLDEN CROC AWARDS 2023

Matchup #7.1: Cecil Gershwin Palmer (Welcome to Night Vale) vs Teruki Hanazawa (Mob Psycho 100)

This is it! From 64 initial contenders, we're down to the final 2. Trexel Geistman from Stellar Firma took the third spot already, but who will be first on the podium? Who deserves a nice pair of golden crocs for just how BAD their fashion sense is?

For one last time, let's review their Fashion Crimes!

On the left side, rises Cecil Gershwin Palmer. Crowned the Tumblr sexyman, iconic enough to make it into so many tournaments, is he also Disastrous enough to win here? His run in this competition so far has been smooth, full of sweeps even against the toughest contenders. He has been often nominated for (all canonically):

his first date outfit being described as "my best tunic and furry pants"

wearing capri pants and a cummerbund to work

wearing yellow sponge clogs, cat ears, and tights to the opera

wearing "a black tuxedo and white bow tie, open-toed polished black shoes, a burgundy velvet cape, earrings made from repurposed car keys, and a top hat with furry tassels hanging from the brim" to his wedding

going to sleep in "a honeycomb hat, a Hawaiian shirt, and leather pants"

On the right, we have Teru. Oh Teru. While his fashion sense has inspired much art from his voters, he struggled in a couple of matchups, but Terunation always pulled through - even in the last 10 minutes in one case. Can he take down Cecil? Can he succeed where Reigen failed? Here are a few of his (illustrated) Fashion Crimes:

wearing a three foot wig which causes him to resemble a cactus (above)

picking out that horrible monkey shirt that you could see in the Mob poll for Mob (it was so bad it defeated god)

certain... official promo art and official fanbook outfits (below)

This poll will last for a WEEK per democratic choice from y'all, so you have tons of time to make and share that propaganda!

hotvintagepoll Hot Men Tournament rundown thoughts

I promised a final recap post and here it is! I'll try to cover the questions I saw the most as we closed out the bracket, reveal my ✨secret faves✨, and talk about the biggest surprises and turnarounds I saw in the brackets.

Yes, this will get silly.

ROUND 1

As I've mentioned before, I worked off submissions for who to include in the bracket, so if your fave was missing—that's why. I used submitted pics when I could, but many submissions didn't have one, so I tried to find decent ones in the couple of days I had to prep the first round (I didn't always succeed). By decent, I mean pics where 1) I could see the hot man's face, so not too much moody lighting, and 2) hopefully conveyed something about his vibe, even if it was a funny thing (yes, I showed Howard Keel in full Shakespeare get-up—I'm not beyond putting up a pic because I think it's funny). I didn't know all of these hotties going in, so some I had to guess with, but when I could I tried to pick shots that had a touch of the humor, class, or genre of the hot man.

For Round 1 and Round 2, I grouped the hotties by each decade, so only '60s actors ran against '60s actors, '50s against '50s, etc. Male beauty standards shifted pretty dramatically over the sixty years this tournament covers, and I didn't think it was fair to pit dramatically different styles of beauty against each other immediately.

I pitted hot men against each other based on opposing energies—hot vs cold, elegant vs rough, comedy vs drama, etc.. I wanted the polls to be interesting and I've never liked brackets where everyone is clearly in different "lanes" until the finals! I also wanted to make polls where I couldn't tell which way they would swing, so by setting matchups that felt opposite but equal, I got to be surprised by the bracket results too.

The only reason we had any three-way matchups is because the amount of men submitted didn't round to a nice bracket number. I don't like them generally and find them really hard to balance.

Secret faves from Round 1—I am a James Coburn girlie and knew he would die immediately, so that was not a shock but a bummer. I similarly knew Robert Preston is only magical to people who have seen him do His Little Dance Routines in That One Iowa Musical, but it would have been nice for him to last longer.

Surprises—Jeremy Brett was a last-minute add and I didn't think he really had a shot, so I put him in as a third wheel on the Sean Connery/Dean Martin matchup. Little did I count on the Granada girlies. (Always count on the Granada girlies.) The Elvis/Peter Falk poll was the first one to gain any momentum—Elvis was winning for the first 24 hours but then, my god, did Peter fight back. I didn't expect the Tab/Toshiro poll to make that bad a mincemeat out of Tab—people have different tastes, and I thought the people who like blonde sunny All American white boys might turn out for The Blonde Sunny All American White Boy. Sorry, Tab. I hope you've peeled yourself off the sidewalk by now. And, of course, I was SHOCKED and APPALLED that James Cagney would be obliterated by, of all people, Mr. Bing Crosby.

SHADOW BRACKET

The fervor of the Harold Lloyd and Fredric March people inspired the shadow bracket, and I couldn't be happier at the way it's gone. You were right, the original photos I had for them did suck. Cunty Harold Lloyd in his little life guard uniform was a revelation.

ROUND 2

For Round 2 I'd gotten a better sense of who was doing well and who was not, so a little of that came into play, but I mostly paired on vibes again. (I genuinely think this is a good way to make a fun, challenging bracket.)

Secret faves—Noooo not hot dilf Dick Van Dyke don't take my hot inventor dilf away uwu!!! (He was up against Marlon Brando. I would have been shocked if he'd won but for a minute there, a glorious second, it was possible.) I am also a big old softie for David Niven's particular brand of repression to the point of volcanic rupture, but he is one of many hotties who does not look good without moving and speaking so I figured he would be going.

So much beef—hey! hey you. I ran a poll asking if we are horny for dancers. Yes, was the resounding poll response. Where, then, did all the fucking dancers go? This round we lost Donald O'Connor, Fred Astaire, Harold Nicholas; Sammy Davis Jr., Danny Kaye, Frank Sinatra, and Bing Crosby all sneak into this category as well, by token of having been in the kind of big MGM bang-a-pan-and-put-on-a-show beloved bedlams we all watch at Christmastime. Round 2 voters HATED musical matchups. Except for one.

The one—SOUND OF MUSIC, the voters said, WE LOVE SOUND OF MUSIC. we will KILL the man responsible for salad dressing because of the SOUND OF MUSIC. every other dance man can die but THIS man dances a FOLK DANCE with JULIE ANDREWS in a GARDEN. I did not go into this poll with strong opinions about Christopher Plummer or Paul Newman but my god did I leave having heard all of them.

Surprises—James Edwards/Anthony Perkins matchup was a nail biter! Conrad vs Oscar kept me up at nights. Surprised to see Basil Rathbone survive against Sabu Dastagir—both very fetching, but Sabu had some top-tier propaganda. Cesar Romero put up a surprisingly stiff fight against Cary Grant (an omen for things to come).

Oh horrors—horror heroes surprisingly fell all over the place. I was sure either Bela Lugosi or Turhan Bey would sweep their three-way matchup, but Michael Redgrave of all people carried through; Boris Karloff went down against Johnny Weismuller (while holding hands with fellow fallen hottie Fred Astaire), but at least we got his guacamole recipe before he went. Delighted to see that the Venn diagram of the coalitions who support horror hero Vincent Price and funny lil guy Donald O'Connor is a circle.

Secret faves pt 2—oh yeah, I fucking love Danny Kaye and Donald O'Connor. RIP funny lil kings.

ROUND 3

For some reason this was the hardest one to make matchups for. Oh no, all the men are hot.

Secret faves—Michael Redgrave i love you SO much you're SUCH an idiot, how did you make it as far as round 3. I want you to sweep the whole thing but you should NOT be surviving this. I love you, here's a kiss, go home.

Surprises—Marlon Brando is gone! Errol Flynn is gone! Christopher Plummer exhausted himself beating the organic oreos man to death and goes out with a whimper. Beginning to actually see the roots of #mifunesweep as Tyrone Power, a hot man very different from Burt Lancaster, who was in turn very different from Tab Hunter, also gets swept under the wheels of the unbeatable toshirobus. Conrad Veidt finds that no amount of purring svelte eccentricity compares to the people who will fuck a young Lt. Columbo.

SHADOW BRACKET 2

Cannot believe it but Veidt loses this one too. Perkins sweeps and becomes Prince of the Shadow Realm!

ROUND 4

At this point I've set a formal bracket that I'm following.

Secret faves—this isn't secret anymore, but losing Jimmy Stewart hurt.

Surprises—The Gene Kelly/Jeremy Brett matchup was the diciest one all round, moving back and forth between the two by sometimes .01%. Far more surprising, however, was Cary Grant getting eliminated before the quarterfinals. Grant has never been my type, but he is famous for being THE type, so while the writing had been on the wall the whole tournament—how on earth did Michael Redgrave even get 36% in his matchup?!—seeing Grant go down was a SHOCKER. Other fallen hotties included Gregory Peck, James Dean, Harry Belafonte, and Sessue Hayakawa. Peter Falk finally met his match in Omar Sharif.

QUARTERFINALS

Secret faves—I don't know if it counts as a secret fave, tbh, as my horses in the race really went out with Stewart, but I do have a soft spot here worth mentioning. Here's my childhood dog, Keaton.

The resemblance is truly striking, and yes, he was short, fast, and not prone to smiling.

Surprises—I couldn't predict how any of these matchups would go down, but I was most interested in Keaton vs Sharif, as they are both SO hot in SUCH different ways.

SEMIFINALS:

This was such a good batch of semifinalist contestants. By this point I think we could all tell Mifune was unstoppable (though I thought Sharif might give him a run for his money), but I really didn't know which way Robeson vs Poitier would flip.

FINALS:

I wanted Sidney Poitier to pull a last-minute sweep out of nowhere, but alas, Toshiro is just THAT GOOD (maybe. I will admit that I find Toshiro's domination a little hard to believe, given the variety and hotness of all his competitors; the man is hot but all these men are hot). I'm still happy with how the tournament went.

FINAL MEDITATIONS:

Biggest shock of a dropout: the loss of Paul Newman

Biggest "you people have no taste": the loss of James Cagney

Biggest victory: Paul Robeson making it to the semifinals over often-assumed champion Gregory Peck

Biggest coalition who deserve justice: dancing men

Biggest ask character: vents anon (currently eating Laurence Olivier)

Biggest, uhh, anything: how many of you are here! I genuinely thought it would be me and 10 other people voting for the whole tournament. I'm thrilled it took off like this!

I think that's everything, but I'm happy to answer addl asks. And THANK YOU to everyone for your tags, rants, impassioned propaganda, beautiful pics, and love for the hot men! See you for the ladies!
