ROUND 2A, MATCH 7 OUT OF 8!

Propaganda Under the Cut:

Ventus:

He broke his own heart (literally) and then took a decade long nap to recover :]

He's managed to fall into deep sleeps on multiple occasions, one of which lasted over a DECADE. Fighting off possession by darkness really takes it out of you, especially when your heart ends up outside your body.

Falling unconscious for worrying amounts of time is his main coping mechanism

Ven better win this tournament it was LITERALLY DESIGNED FOR HIM

G'raha Tia:

He learns a lot in his time from hibernating and when he wakes up from hibernating. He's a sweet boy and has great leadership skills. He's also an idiot (affectionate)

(Spoilers ahead) He is a catboy who is your (as in the player character's) biggest fan. He's a nerd and a geek. He tried to pretend to be evil but failed miserably because he's a terrible liar and also such a good boy. Most of his plans involve self-sacrifice. He decided to put himself to sleep as the guardian of a magical tower, to be woken up from stasis one day in the far future. Anyways then he ended up traveling back from that future in order to stop a calamity, became the leader of a society in a land teetering on the edge of an apocalypse, accidentally kidnapped the souls of some of the player character's allies, and eventually ends up merging with his original self, waking him up from stasis in the process. Also he's technically royalty. So vote for him!

NEW PROPAGANDA AND MEDIA UNDER CUT: ALL POLLS HERE

"With the devastating elimination of Patti LuPone, Christine Baranski may well be our reigning *Diva* in the most literal sense of the word. Are you truly worthy of the title if you don't inspire drag egos? Go on, close your eyes right now and picture a living Broadway Diva. Baranski is going to be on that list every time."

"Four-time Tony loser Judy Kuhn is a sad sentence to type. But hey, at least she's in good company with Elaine Stritch. Judy doesn't need a fancy trophy to prove how talented she is. She's booked and busy, and aren't we glad for it?"

ROUND 2A, MATCH 6 OUT OF 8!

Propaganda Under the Cut:

Queen Cinderella Charming:

She's kind, she's funny, she learns to use a sword, and she's related to Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Red Riding Hood. She helps the protagonists any chance she gets and even hosts their mother and step-father's wedding. She never gives up and  never lets her fear stop her. Absolute queen (literally) <3

While she isn't hugely relevant in the story itself, she is always down to help out the protagonists where she can. When they need one of her slippers, she sneaks it into their bag without them noticing. She calls them family. She loves her daughter too, and is a badass mom.

When the main characters need her glass slipper for a spell, she snuggled it into their bag, and she has a daughter named Hope <3

I think she’s a minor character in the first book, but she’d really nice and stuff!

Because I LOVE HER!! also she has a daughter called Hope who got kidnapped by rumplestiltskin at one point but that is besides the point. She is a strong independent woman and we love those she was NOT about to sit around doing nothing and i love her for that

Vote Land of Stories Cinderella because she's the best!!!

Elegance "Ella" Coach:

Ella fights for labor reform! I just reread the book intentionally so I could make propaganda for her but now my head is empty only LOVE FOR ELLA. She has two (gay) fairy godfathers, she worked in a sweatshop where her mother died, she has a well-developed with her prince, Dash Charming. The glass slippers are a very important motif even though she doesn’t actually get a pair herself because she was a secret fairy godparent case because the fairy godparent organization had become corrupt and wasn’t helping needy children, only the rich. It’s a sequel to Grounded which is a Rapunzel story, but Disenchanted stands alone in the same world and it’s my most favorite of the two!! She’s so kind and helps institute kingdom wide labor reform and ahhhhhhhh

Former child laborer who wants to use her family's newfound privilege to fight for workers' rights. Brave, smart, and compassionate, although she can also be reckless, because she's just a kid and she deserves BETTER. Actually has a good relationship to her step-family, who are badass and Black like her, and there's this really touching moment at the end that recontextualizes things a lot and it's very sweet and cool worldbuilding. Her fairy godmother is two gay contractors who overthrow their boss for being complicit in a corporate espionage/coup scheme. She has a nice and believable relationship with her prince, who is a fucking dork that learns to be less of a privileged idiot and would absolutely put his ass on the line for her in return. She's just so GOOD and Disenchanted is UNDERRATED, everyone go read it.

Her goal is to improve workers rights, directly inspired by the 19th century textile industry, right down to child labor and workers getting locked in factories. Her mother died working in a sweatshop. She struggles with her working class upbringing and her new upper class status after her father's invention made them rich. Not afraid of breaking the law. She's so cool and her book is so good.

PROPAGANDA

Skylar Propaganda

"She's literally hated for reacting the way anyone would react upon finding out their husband is a meth dealer."

"I haven’t even watched Breaking Bad but she’s such a legendary example of fandom misogyny she needs to be included. To my understanding, in the show her main crime is that she doesn’t like that her abusive husband is selling meth and she wants him to stop doing that. In response, he gaslights and lies to her so he can keep selling meth. The fandom then acts like she’s the world’s biggest bitch and totally evil for… not wanting her husband to commit crimes that put her and her son’s life in danger? There’s so much vitriol against her. For basically nothing other than getting actually mad that her husband sells meth and lies to her."

"Skylar is the fandom's #1 most-hated character and all she does is what ANY OTHER REASONABLE HUMAN would do in the same circumstances"

Sakura Propaganda

"I don’t even go here but Lordy has my friend complained about her character being messed up."

"Between the character bashing for being "useless" (she wasn't) and the character bashing for getting in the way of Naruto/Sasuke, Sakura has suffered more than Jesus. Both of those types of hate are still going on to this day! ESPECIALLY the "Sakura was useless" comments, which are all over reddit, twitter, and tiktok, although those are at least useful for filtering out people whose opinions on media you should ignore."

"I am not into Naruto but I know of her"

ROUND 2A! MATCH 1 OUT OF 8

Monster Stats & Propaganda Under the Cut:

Kuriboh is used by Yugi Mutou/Yami Yugi. Its stats are the following:

Attribute: DARK

Level: 1

Type: FIEND / EFFECT

Effect Type: QUICK

Effect (according to the anime): "During your opponent's turn, at damage calculation: You can discard this card; you take no battle damage from that battle (this is a Quick Effect)."

ATK / DEF: 300 / 200

Propaganda:

Turn 18 of the duel between Kaiba and Yugi in the Duelist Kingdom arc - INFINITE KURIBOH WALL.

There's one part in Duelist Kingdom (when the rules didn't matter) where the Kuribohs multiply and there's an endless amount of them.

He's cute.

Have you seen this adorable fluff ball?! He's adorable and will take a hit for you because he loves you.

It's just a small, fluffy guy. One that Yugi and Atem used destroy many an opponent, an example of how even a monster that seems useless can be used to topple an opponent. But mostly I'm submitting him because he's a small, fluffy guy. Very iconic, even if it's not the strongest monster.

In my opinion, he's the mascot of DM. Of the whole series, really. That's why there's on in each series. But you cannot go wrong with the OG!!

Kuribandit is used by Yugi Mutou/Yami Yugi. Its stats are the following:

Attribute: DARK

Level: 3

Type: FIEND / EFFECT

Effect Type: TRIGGER

Effect (according to the anime): "During either player's turn, you can Tribute this card to draw 5 cards, then send all Monster Cards drawn by this effect to the Graveyard."

ATK: / DEF: 1000 / 700

Propaganda:

We all love a good pirate. What if it was a KURIBOH pirate? I'm sold.

ROUND 2A, MATCH 3 OUT OF 8!

Propaganda Under the Cut:

Bedman:

[No Propaganda Submitted]

Judd:

He's an immortal cat with telepathy that was kept in cryosleep for at least 10,000 years and has outlived every other mammal. His owner just loved him that much. Probably just the wildest character in Splatoon in general.
