#2024 Round 3

[sexiestpodcastcharacter]

Who is the Sexiest Fictional Podcast Character? 2024 Edition.

Round 2 saw the introduction of the unscripted characters, as well as first true departures of sixteen scripted characters. Sixteen more scripted characters left the running in Round 2.5. With 15,474 votes across 48 polls in Round 2 and 2,359 votes over 16 polls in Round 2.5, we had some surprises! Lup, Moonshine Cybin, Indrid Cold, and Jonas Spahr all lost their very first polls, despite Lup making it to the quarter finals and Moonshine Cybin making it to the semi-finals last year (both lost to Non-Night Vale Champion Glenn Close), Jonas Spahr and Moonshine Cybin both being submitted twice, and Indrid Cold beating a number of characters in the preliminaries. Meanwhile Kayne, who had the most submissions this year at 8, lost two polls in a row and is now out of the tournament for good. Additionally, a number of contests were decided by single-digit numbers of votes.

Round 3 will be delayed slightly as I undertake a 4000 mile roadtrip to visit friends, family, and of course beloved Tumblr mutuals. Rest assured I will not forget about this tournament. In the meantime, vote on my sandwich polls. If you're wondering why I posted them to the podcast tournament blog rather than my personal one, pokémonbattletournament did it first.

For about 15 seconds today, we were actually playing tennis. And we understood each other completely, so did everyone watching. It was like we were in love. Or like we didn’t exist. We went somewhere really beautiful together. CHALLENGERS (2024) dir. Luca Guadagnino

opened tiktok (mistake number one, i know) and immediately saw someone saying that Thomas Hutter subverts the "disbelieving husband" trope which... listen i love a thoroughly pathetic mess of a man myself and i get that Ellen's other option is a 400yo evil corpse, but can we please not give him credit for things he didn't do?..

the literal inciting incident of the story is that Thomas DOESN'T listen to Ellen. he doesn't believe her. she tells him that she's got a bad feeling about this trip, begs him not to go, tells him about her nightmare - and what does he do? he calls it a childish fantasy, tells her to stop worrying, and implies that she would benefit from talking to a doctor. saying shit softly doesn't make it any less dismissive or insulting, like i'm sorry but this is peak Disbelieving Husband in a Horror Movie behaviour. he only changed his mind once Orlok put him through the horrors himself, which is also a perfectly standard thing for a Disbelieving Husband to do in the second act. furthermore, from the beginning of the film, he neglects Ellen's emotional needs, is uncomfortable with her abnormalities, and doesn't even really know what sort of gifts she likes - and again, these are all standard flaws for a Disbelieving Husband to exhibit. they're indicative of a disconnect between him and his wife that he continuously refuses to bridge.

caring for someone doesn't mean you can't neglect or harm them, and that applies to everyone - including Normal People like Thomas, like Harding, like Sievers, like the viewer; and that's the point of the film
