Roy: I always keep a bat by my bed.

Diggle: I sleep with a gun under my pillow.

Sara: I sleep with knives.

Felicity: Haha, the three of you are pathetic.

Roy: Oh yeah? What do you sleep with?

Felicity: Oliver.

Kara: Not gonna lie, I'm kind of afraid of Oliver...

Barry: As you should be.

Kara: No, for real, he's kind of-

Barry: As. You. Should. Be.

It's so fun to share a braincell with my mom because sometimes while we're making dinner we have conversations like:

(context, I'm rewatching Legends of Tomorrow and my mother the flash)

Me- you know a character who is shipped a lot with Barry?Snart

mom- make sense, the two would be quite the couple, as well as being more interesting than Barry and Iris

Me- true, and the fics are very good, especially the ones with the legends

Mom- I need to read those fics, another person I ship Barry with is Cisco they would be very cute together although I ship Cisco more with Harry cause they argue like an old married couple

[ctarchangel542]

She’s breathtaking 😍

[alannacouture]

Serious question: are you more likely to ship a couple if the actors are also good friends offscreen?

AU where Oliver stays in the Bratva and doesn’t get found at the end of his fifth year and instead stays behind and helps Anatoli establish himself. After a year has passed, Anatoli has properly solidified himself in his role and Oliver has become a respected high ranking member – a Russian in spirit, they say – they suddenly get news of an earthquake leveling the glades.

Because he hasn’t been snooping or pushing Moria to do better, Malcom gets away with it and Tommy lives, because he hadn’t been meddling. So, the season 1 cast is all there, just a year later and in a city filled with devastation.

Anatoli can see that Oliver is worried about his family, no matter how much he left them behind, so he offers Oliver to become the head of the Bratva in Starling. They want to use the chaos anyway and he trusts him, so it’s not a hardship to send him there.

So, Oliver finds himself in Starling under a new identity. He does his Bratva stuff, and they’re deep in the drug trade. He runs into Thea.

He runs into his baby sister buying drugs from the Russian mob with her friend – thankfully she lets the friend get her hands dirty while she waits in the car but she is still there – and they both see each other.

Oliver pretends not to recognize her then and Thea isn’t sure, but she becomes a little obsessed. She finds him and keeps trying to worm her way close to him and Oliver doesn’t want her to get hurt, so he keeps letting her, but he also keeps pretending like he doesn’t know her and has no clue who this brother is she talks about. He puts on a thick Russian accent and steals bits from Anatoli’s life to sell to her.

It’s this bittersweet thing, where he is so close to her, but he can’t confirm, has to keep her at a distance, but it’s so hard. Thea feels much the same, feeling she has her brother back, but he’s not him and she can’t tell anyone, because they’ll tell her to stop and get away from this criminal, but she can’t, because he’s giving her a piece of family back that she misses so desperately.

Meanwhile, Thea also gets a reputation as a Princess of Starling’s underworld and close to a Bratva Captain. This puts her in the crosshair of not only dangerous enemies the Bratva have made – Oliver especially – but Quentin too, who has been put on the Bratva case.

In order to keep her safe, he goes undercover as Kapusion to check up on her, taking out threats and such. By doing that, he also notices his mom acting stranger and stranger, which drags him into solving the reason for earthquake.

I came to the realization a while back that for some reason at least one character in every piece of media I ever hyperfixated on has died and come back to life at least once, so I figured why not pit them all against each other!

Rules:

the character must have died and come back to life

No real people or characters from Harry Potter

Feel free to submit multiple characters, but please don't nominate the same character more than once!

You can submit multiple characters from the same piece of media (each as their own nomination)

While the "tell me more" question is technically optional, the more you ramble about them the better! Provided information will be used in the tournament as built-in propaganda :)

Robots are allowed if they are treated as sentient beings in the source material and/or have a dramatic and emotional death scene

Use your discretion if time travel is involved, things get complicated (I was including examples but it got too long, so rule of thumb- if it feels like A Death in a significant way then you're probably good, as long as it's the same version of the person that comes back)

I can do what I want, this isn't super highly structured and professional- seeding method, number of contestants, etc. will be determined once submissions are in

I'll be busy this week, so you have until Sunday, April 23 to submit nominations to this form! (Update: the nomination period has ended- thank you to everyone who contributed to over 900 submissions!)

Inspired by @the-ultimate-tournament, @fakedmydeathtournament, @number-two-tournament, @blorbopoll, @redandbluebracket, @greenguysummit, @character-of-all-time, and all the other tournament blogs!

Joe, about Oliver: Don’t get too close to him. He’s dangerous.

Barry: But he’s nice!

Joe, making a strangled noise: Nice? He’s a criminal. A murderer.

Barry: That’s in the past.

Joe: He tortured a man yesterday.

Barry: Technically, yesterday is in the past.
