i love how every time i see the antigone poll on my dash antigone is steadily getting more and more votes/percentage youre doing good work here

no the most gratifying moment of my entire life was checking the post every few minutes and seeing the number tick up i won't lie... and like i literally am so tired of tumblr brackets and i don't think they matter and i think they say way more about which subsets of people 1. are active on tumblr and 2. are following the specific bracket blog but also like... i literally cannot watch my βλωρβη (greek woman blorbo) lose a most tragic poll to a character who's not even dead.*

*captain jack is exempt from the "must be dead" clause because being alive forever is also tragic because it's all about how your time isn't working right/doesn't sync up with other people's <- thing i just made up but i stand by it <- also thing i can try and elaborate on later when the next door neighbors aren't vibrating my skull into oblivion with their sound system

#mod felix #i mean in general i don't think a tragic character has to be dead i think it's about the cycles but you know #antigone is more tragic than captain jack though. although they both have the problem of watching 90% of their loved ones die #i also don't want to be like. stuck-up about what counts as 'tragedy' or a 'tragic character' but it is like.#well antigone is pretty much the blueprint. there are characters she could lose to and i wouldn't be too mad but like.#it honestly doesn't get much more tragic than her.#i mean i think anyone who's the last one standing in a tragic line is like. a good candidate for this poll #in ancient or modern-day literature #also they should put doctor who (the character) on the most tragic character poll <3 #they should put rose tyler on the most tragic character poll. okay i'm done #WAIT NO I'M NOT. THEY SHOULD PUT BUFFY ON THE MOST TRAGIC CHARACTER POLL.#i don't know if buffy is that tragic but like. there's something there about the cycles.#faith btvs would also be a good candidate although i think her arc is also something a little different #i stand by rose though. s2 of new who is a tragedy To Me #they should also put clara oswald on the most tragic character poll.#i would say i'll run my own poll but actually running a bracket was so hard i never want to do that again #okay NOW i'm done
