[do-you-ship-it-polls]

Do you ship it?

reason under the cut! there is a lot.

PLEASE THEY WOULD BE SO FUNNY. Man clocked her fujo ass IMMEDIATELY right after she went on about fanfiction being beneath her. They are trash and they love trash and being dysfunctional as fuck. Stupid bickering over bullshit my beloved. Imagine her cussing him out in public and then secretly commissioning him to make nsfw art of her blorbos in private or something. YOU KNOW SHE WOULD. Bonus points he won't even draw it and she never lets it go. Or he accepts the money but draws them as like, stick figures. What's she gonna fucking do, call the cops because he drew porn bad. Is she going to admit to ANYBODY she commissioned shit from his loser ass after she's done nothing but shit talk him for the whole semester. He's not even cute enough to reap Genocide Jack. Fuck

MORE IMPORTANTLY. Dumb bullshit aside they're creatives with insane output, imagine the critiques and professional rivalry. Starts off like "Don't you think you rushed x here? This is super corny." "Philistine!" "Hack!" "HACK?! KYS HOW DARE-!" and several arguments like that. One of them releases a new work? Guess who's first to comment! But the thing is, they're still consuming eachother's work. Obsessively. And it can lead to "This scene is in poor taste!" "Well what would YOU have done?!" "Maybe the lead could *inserts an actually good plot point*" "...huh". Imagine them overtime getting engrossed in eachother's creative visions and analysing their processes, even for the most seemingly simple of pieces. Hifumi drawing content for her characters he knows she'd like. Toko giving him pointers for his first original novel and actually trying to support him in her own incredibly awkward Toko way. Aha, you thought this was just here for the pervert4pervert crack, didn't you? Didn't expect this to be about two profoundly unpopular social rejects with issues comprehending the real world falling for eachother because they see a brilliant, lonely, artistic mind reflecting back, did you?

"That's dumb. I want it FULL toxic" i mean if you WANTED you could go the route where they settle for eachother in an "i resent you but the person I actually want is a fantasy and you're the only real person who talks to me" way. Ig. But I like the former more.

Did I mention they're both pervs. They would accuse the other of being terrible and filthy while simultaneously trying to one up each other. The godawful sex jokes i am cringing on the spot this is so horrible. -11/10 they deserve each other. im going to be sick no one Is safe. Actually I changed my mind. I can't ship this. For the good of planet Earth oh my fucking god they can't be alobe in the same room together longer than 2 minutes abort abort abort abort what have i wrought

[obscure-batfam-bracket]

Rules

We'll have a preliminary round to see whether characters are prominent, lesser known, or actually obscure members of the Batfam. (There's also an option to vote them out.) So don't worry about whether your character is actually obscure!

Feel free to submit characters or send asks requesting them, but please include images when you do. (Either official images or your own fanart; don't send other people's art.)

Due to the nature of this bracket, I don't know lots of characters, so please include their full names (if possible) and any prominent codenames they've used.

Feel free to submit propaganda for characters that have already been entered into the competition, too.

You can suggest any DC character, but they're probably going to get voted out if they're borderline. I do still want to see who you come up with.

I guess you can suggest characters that aren't from DC but I doubt they'll get much traction? (But I guess there are a few popular crossovers, so who knows.)

Don't be hostile to characters, even once they go head to head. This includes characters you dislike. This includes characters you think are not important.

Don't be hostile to each other, either. Don't accuse other people of not knowing/understanding the canon. People disagree on definitions and that's okay. That's why it's supposed to be fun to vote on these things.

This includes debating politics or fandom wank. This is for celebrating characters we like, not dunking on other people's blorbos, even the popular ones.

Please don't be hostile to writers/artists either. I like a lot of the ones you don't and vice versa, I'm sure.

You're allowed to vote Bruce out. I think it's funny, too.

Leave propaganda in the notes like you do for all brackets! I'd especially love to know how you define the Batfamily and why you do or don't include characters in it!

Who counts as a member of the Batfam? I don't know, that's why I'm running polls.

What counts as obscure? I don't know, that's why I'm running polls.

This is just a popularity contest! Fandom is stupid! Blahblahblah I already asked everyone not to send me mean messages. Go run your own bracket if you dislike how I run mine; I literally didn't even advertise this, I just tagged posts and fans of the various characters found me through that. I'm sure yours will do fine and you can include or not include whoever you want.

How do you choose images? I pick an image where the character is in costume (if possible) in a style that I like or find iconic. For submissions, I just use whatever picture the submitter included (sometimes cropped), unless I already had something specific in mind for that character.

But what about - Because it's the funniest picture in the entire history of DC.

I like one of your edits. Can I use it for...? Yeah! Have fun!

Why can't I vote Maps out? :(

Why can't I vote Eddie out? :)

For New Tumblr Users: you probably want an icon so people don't think you're a bot. (Anyone can use these.)

Submissions are closed unless you're resending something. I have a couple of times seen a notification pop up and disappear, which might be a glitch, or might mean that one of us has blocked each other on our mains. I don't block a lot of people, but tumblr is known to accidentally block people at random sometimes (or eat asks/submissions), and I don't know if that always even shows up on your blocklist. If you think this has happened, it's probably best to have a friend resubmit the character for you.

[the-adaptation-was-better]

Do you have an adaptation you like just as much if not more than the original book? Tired of automatic claims that the book is better or people insisting an adaptation is bad just because it's different in any way? Is there an adaptation that you feel is underrated, or just makes you really happy? Is there a show or movie you love dearly, regardless of whatever it may be based on?

Boy, do I have the poll tournament for you!

The rules are simple:

Submit any screen adaptations that you think were just as good if not better than the books they were based on.

You can submit as many characters as you want but do it in separate submissions. Please don't spam one character a bunch of times in a row.

Only submissions through the form will be counted, not asks.

Generally, I'm focusing on TV/movie adaptations of books, but you can make a case for anything if you want.

TERFs, transmeds, exclusionists, and other bigots are NOT welcome.

SUBMIT YOUR ADAPTATIONS HERE!

Please keep in mind I am just doing this for fun and vibes! I will delete shit that doesn't pass the vibe check (things like Harry Potter) but I might also include things that didn't get a lot of submissions if the submitter can convince me with a passionate TedTalk.

I don't know if I'll do a traditional bracket or just vibe. Probably just vibe. I'll probably do little graphics though so if you have a picture you want me to use feel free to send something in or you'll be making do with whatever I find on Google.

I will try to reblog propaganda if I can, but I can't promise I'll see it all and if this blows up (which it probably won't, but who knows?) I might not even be able to reblog them all. I won't be reblogging anti-propaganda (aka "actually in this case the book WAS better because...")

Any hate messages will be blocked and ignored.

I will probably stop whenever I get Too Many Submissions, or in like, a week. Whichever comes first. This could either blow up or completely fizzle out.

I have tried to make this blog and post like five times and tumblr still refuses to put it in the main tags.
