ADMINS FICTIONAL CRUSH TOURNAMENT ROUND 2! KING DICE VS LESHY

Vote based off of who you prefer! Repost due to admin forgetting to change poll duration

King Dice: Charismatic but incredibly manipulative, he knows what he wants and aims to get what he thinks he deserves. He also has an incredibly large ego, being totally into himself and even flirting with his reflection. He is also a bit of a hypocrite in the show- showing horror when the devil incinerates his demons, but turning around and picking the next group off in the same episode

Leshy: Being the God of Chaos has the exact personality you'd expect: Leshy hates order and even after falling from grace, he yearns for mischief to take place in his new life in the cult.... just... not with him on the receiving end... many headcanon that he would cause problems on purpose after joining the lamb's cult. He is also incredibly arrogant

The Sunnydale Herald Newsletter, Saturday, September 12

ANGEL: You got your memories back. CONNOR: Yeah, they're mixed in there with the new ones. Kind of like--uh--a bad dream I had, I guess--a very strange and violent, at times inappropriately erotic dream. ANGEL: You probably have a lot of questions. CONNOR: No, I don't want to make a thing. I get what you did. You know, I'm grateful. That's as far as I want to take it, okay?

Rating Info

Fiction Rating Key Here

"NR" = "Not Rated"

Authors' given ratings usually trusted, but "general audiences" and "K" or "K+" are increased to "FRT" because of original BtVS/AtS series' ratings. Occasional stronger ratings given when chance glances show they're needed. The "F-bomb" requires FRMA, no matter how it's used. Graphic depictions of human-on-human violence and/or child sexual abuse deferred to next day's editor for private life reasons. Thanks for understanding. :-)

ADMINS FICTIONAL CRUSH TOURNAMENT ROUND 1! ITWARD VS MOON

Vote based off of who you prefer, character descriptions under the poll for added context

Itward: Introverted and an adventurer who travels from place to place, but more than willing to help Fran. He is whimsical with a healthy dose of curiosity and knack for inventing all sorts of machines! Itward is also a gentleman- polite and patient, allowing yourself to work and come to your own conclusions before jumping in and taking over

Moon: In game he is a menace, stalking the player through the darkness of the daycare and pizzaplex; hellbent on taking them down... or perhaps setting you down for a nap! Some parts of the fandom do right him to be a trickster even before the events of the game, pre virus. Others portray him as reclusive but devoted to his job as the naptime attendant, but overall kind enough-- both interpretations are cool, in my opinion!

ADMINS FICTIONAL CRUSH TOURNAMENT ROUND 1! SIR PENTIOUS VS SUN

Vote based off of who you'd prefer, character descriptions under the poll for added context

Sir Pentious: Prior to his development Pentious behaves similarly to your mustache twirling villain trope. He has big ambitions to fight and take over parts of hell for himself, using his knack for inventions and machines to his advantage. Despite this he is not the most competent. He strives to be seen as cool, likely in an attempt to be accepted by others-- with Husk calling him a "Lonely Jester". He's pathetic in a soggy napkin way

Sun: He is incredibly energetic- almost in your face if not... actually in your face. He demands constant attention and aims for constant stimulation if it means the rules don't get broken. Many corners of the fandom have taken to portraying him as a sweetheart-- incredibly kind if not impulsive and pushy

ADMINS FICTIONAL CRUSH TOURNAMENT ROUND 1! LESHY VS REMOR

Leshy: Being the God of Chaos has the exact personality you'd expect: Leshy hates order and even after falling from grace, he yearns for mischief to take place in his new life in the cult.... just... not with him on the receiving end... many headcanon that he would cause problems on purpose after joining the lamb's cult. He is also incredibly arrogant

Remor: He is a being a darkness and despair, he lives in madness thrives off of the suffering of others. He will taunt his victims even in their darkest moments. He is also described to be theatrical

[the-s1lly-corner]

ADMINS FICTIONAL CRUSH TOURNAMENT ROUND 1! JASON VOORHEES VS EYELESS JACK

Vote based off of who you'd prefer! Character descriptions under the poll for added context

Jason Voorhees: Jason is a silent killer who stops at nothing to get the job done- save for the given final survivor of the film not many escape him. He is not the smartest, being manipulated on at least one occasion- whether by victim or fellow slasher. Despite that he is shown to be resourceful in other ways by setting traps. It is also worth noting that Jason does not go after children- instead focusing the bloodshed on others. He only kills when people set foot into Camp Crystal Lake and the area surrounding it

Eyeless Jack: A lot of Jack's personality is created by the fandom. Generally he is written to be reclusive at most and antisocial at minimum. He is commonly cold and brooding, occasionally sarcastic. Whether a human whos been cursed, or an outright demon from the start Jack eats the organs of humans

[the-s1lly-corner]

ADMINS FICTIONAL CRUSH TOURNAMENT ROUND 1! SLENDERMAN VS HEKET

Vote based off of who you prefer, character descriptions under the poll for added context

Slenderman: Slenderman's characterization heavily depends on where in the fandom you are. Some portray him as an uncaring creature incapable of tenderness- a monster who prowls the woods snatching up those who wander too close. Other parts of the fandom may portray him as a softer creature- less territorial and more capable of reason and forming connections. Some may even portray him as a father figure. All interpretations are cool, in my eyes!

Heket: She is incredibly temperamental and spiteful with an insatiable hunger. She seems to take on a leadership role within her group of siblings after the eldest, Shamura, acquires a head injury. As well as this she is confident in herself, fully believing that she will succeed in killing the player during her boss fight

ADMINS FICTIONAL CRUSH TOURNAMENT ROUND 1! KNUBBLER VS ZIAR

The way I need you to hear me out on both of these dudes. Vote based off of who you prefer, character stuff under the poll for added context

Knubbler: He is the producer of the death metal band Dethklok- something he takes great pride in, showing as early as his debut episode. He has a shady past riddled with things from drugs to throwing acid on someone's face. He generally tries to keep things working on track and has been shown to lose his temper when working with the band. He believes he is good with women. He is not. Do not believe a word he says on that, he compared a woman's vagina to a hot dog bun. This man has zero game

Ziar: Ziar does not get much screentime however from what we do know-- we know that he is wise and kind, willing to help Fran understand and adjust to Ithersta as well as aiding her in her return home. It could be assumed that he is as kind when interacting with just about anyone

[the-s1lly-corner]

ADMINS FICTIONAL CRUSH TOURNAMENT ROUND 1! KALLAMAR VS KINGER

Vote based off of who you would personal prefer! Both in terms of look as well as character! There will be short descriptions under the poll!

Kallamar: Kallamar is generally shown and depicted as vain and cowardly. He cares highly of his appearance. That being said he is not above throwing people under the bus if it means a chance to save his own skin- this includes offering up his own family to be picked off. A wide fandom interpretation is also that he is lustful whilst simultaneously being as pathetic as a wet paper bag

Kinger: Oftentimes erratic and paranoid in most scenarios, despite this Kinger is quite compassionate to others when his mind is soothed in darkness. However despite his current condition he remains mentally strong enough to keep himself from abstracting

[the-s1lly-corner]

ADMINS FICTIONAL CRUSH TOURNAMENT ROUND 1! FATHER VS ECLIPSE

Vote based off of who you would prefer! Short character descriptions will be under the poll!

Father: Benedict is hot tempered, so much so that it oftentimes leads to his undoing. He has a deep hated for children, and has created a reputation among both kids and adults-- as a villain who should be feared. He is also shown to possess sarcasm and humor on occasion.

Eclipse: Not much is canonically known about Eclipse, at least not as far as I can tell. Generally they are portrayed as a stabilized blend of their counterparts. They take Cassie away from danger the moment they take control

[the-s1lly-corner]

ADMINS FICTIONAL CRUSH TOURNAMENT ROUND 1! CHEMACH VS TURNIP HEAD

Vote based off of who you prefer, character descriptions will be under the poll

Chemach: Not much is know about Chemach other than her being driven to insanity, as well as harvesting the body parts of gods to convert into powerful relics. A girl with hobbies, of course

Turnip Head: He is shown to be kind and willing to help whenever assistance is asked for or needed. As well as being selfless enough to use the stick that is his body to try to save the main cast from falling into a pit, the cost nearly wrecking his entire body. Also takes rejection like a king

[the-s1lly-corner]

ADMINS FICTIONAL CRUSH TOURNAMENT ROUND 1! MASKY VS WINSLOW LEACH

Vote based off of who you would prefer! Character descriptions under the poll for further context!

Masky: His characterization depends on what you are looking at; Marble Hornets or Creepypasta. I personally can go either way. HOWEVER. Given that it has been far too long since I've last seen Marble Hornets and cannot accurately remember this section will focus on the Creepypasta rendition. So be warned! Masky is generally quiet and can get the work done efficiently, almost ruthlessly. He tends to stick to himself, choosing to stand in the background watching rather than interacting

Winslow Leach: Winslow has a horrible temper and habit for obsession, enough to drive him to murder several times. Despite this, he does what he can to draw his muse from danger to the best of his ability

[the-s1lly-corner]

ADMINS FICTIONAL CRUSH TOURNAMENT ROUND 1! HOODIE VS FUJIMOTO

Last batch! Vote based off of who you prefer, character descriptions under the poll for added context

Hoodie: Similar to Masky his character relies off of which fandom you're looking at. Due to the admin not having seen Marble Hornets recently and forgetting, the creepypasta version will be written here. He is generally portrayed similarly if not nearly identically to how Masky is shown- the key difference being that typically he does not speak at all. He sticks to stalking others before eventually striking. Not much else to be said without dipping too deep into OLD fandom territory, as well as the admin being very attached to their own interpretation of (the creepypasta versions) of hoodie and masky LMAO... though... I do recall Hoodie oftentimes being the "lesser" one in the Masky/Hoodie duo dynamic, at least in the fics and media I consumed of them, shown to follow Masky instead of both of them being equal or him leading the way. Not sure if thats still common in the Creepypasta community

Fujimoto: A dignified man who demands respect from those around him, he carries a heavy resentment to humans on land due to the damage they are doing to the ocean and the pollution they cause in his home. He feels a need for control and only allows her daughter to make her own choice after his wife convinces him that he needs to back up so Ponyo can be happy

ADMINS FICTIONAL CRUSH TOURNAMENT ROUND 2! MOON VS MORGO

Vote based on who you prefer! Repost due to admin forgetting to change poll duration

Moon: In game he is a menace, stalking the player through the darkness of the daycare and pizzaplex; hellbent on taking them down... or perhaps setting you down for a nap! Some parts of the fandom do right him to be a trickster even before the events of the game, pre virus. Others portray him as reclusive but devoted to his job as the naptime attendant, but overall kind enough-- both interpretations are cool, in my opinion!

Morgo: He is a parasite from beyond the five realities of his universe- assuming he even belongs to that universe. Given that he is an antagonist and spends nearly the entire game manipulating Miss Fortune to play along with him through any means necessary, it's hard to decipher how sincere his mannerisms are. Whether or not ALL of it is a façade, he is oddly kind to Miss Fortune- and likely his other victims- though its likely because it makes it easier to move them closer to his end goal and make them trust him. He does attempt to show off some of his abilities to Miss Fortune, by crushing a lamppost- which she... somehow misses... he also procures various objects for Miss Fortune off screen for her to use- some examples include a ball to play with a puppy, and a ticket to go on a ride

[the-s1lly-corner]

ADMINS FICTIONAL CRUSH TOURNAMENT ROUND 2! SHAMURA VS ZENYATTA

Vote based on who you prefer!

Shamura: Wise, as well as riddled with grief and regret over the things they've done and the circumstances of them. They are the Bishop of War and are a conduit of wisdom. Despite their state and knowing that the end draws near, they still remain dedicated and fight til the end. Something worth noting is that they send two mortals to accompany their estranged brother in the afterlife, in their words: "I did not want him to be lonely". Regardless of the implications, even after the family imploding, they didnt want their brother to be completely alone forever-- perhaps hinting to a softer side to them thats reserved for loved ones

Zenyatta: Is calm and supportive, as well as possessing a deep well for patience when handling others and conflict. He assists others in finding internal peace and overcome their personal struggles
