CANON POLYCULE SHOWDOWN

this is a contest for canonically confirmed polycules or polycules that have a lot of hints to a possibility of them being canon, even if the authors might not have intended that way!

Beware of spoilers!! Some of these only become polycules later in the media they're from, and some of the descriptions describe a tragic fate for the polycule, so keep in mind there will be spoilers

rules can be found here

bracket can be found here

honorable mentions can be found here

links for all the match ups as they go live can be found in the MASTERPOST. it will be updated each round, but i will also tag every round to make them easier to find

help me w descriptions for the honorable mentions!

multiples of five :3

owo thank you!!

5. What is the perfect environment for you to write in? the PERFECT environment? probably a quiet, cozy office with a big window for lots of sun, maybe a birdfeeder outside to give me something to stare at while i'm Plotting or muttering dialogue to myself, with a warmer under the desk for my terrible cold feet and an electric kettle for constant tea.

10. Do you enjoy writing dialogue, exposition, or plot the most? DIALOGUE!!!!! when i was a kid i was obsessed with lush description but these days dialogue is my babygirl. I love dialogue. i think it's my strongest suit by a mile.

15. A Hollywood producer tells you that they want to film just one of your fics. Which fic would you want it to be? my immediate instinct is Scattered, BUT i think that Reckoning would make a better visual product, and it is the fic that i daydream about turning into a comic/graphic novel style the most often, which is BASICALLY like storyboarding, so.

20. What’s your favorite minor character you’ve written? of all time? for fanfic specifically? uhmmmmmm, oh man, maybe Damien's brother Aaron? i haven't talked about him in a long time but i fucking adore him and he breaks my heart......

25. Which idea came to you first in [x fic]? i was not given a fic to parse so uhhh. for the Amnesia fic that i just posted, the first idea was literally the opening. waking up together but having NO CLUE who Damien was? that shit is JUICYYYYY

30. Tell us an idea for a longfic you want to write in the future. :) i could give like eight is the problem, because i HAVE a problem. okay so there's this vaguely castlevania(show) inspired, Corrupted!Keep au that i do want to write, someday, but it's very intimidating as far as scope goes, so i keep putting it off. Basically Arum is Alucard, Rilla is the Belmont, and Damien is Sypha. but it's... loosely the whole thing, because i only watched the first season of castlevania and it's the SETUP that i'm stealing more than anything

Does anyone get OTP feels so strong that you want to laugh and cry at the same time?

Thank you Penumbra podcast for giving me feels and never making it easy for my OTPs to be happy together!

[swiss-army-wifes]

It has been [redacted] years since I last wrote fanfiction, but I couldn't help myself. I am a simple STEM gal who projects onto Rilla and loves Rilla and Damien's dynamic.
