โœจ yippee!! โœจ
congrats! due to the recent explosion in bracket-style poll tournaments, all the obscure/neglected media tags you follow are finally getting new posts! your favorite old blorbos are once again seeing the light of day!!
๐Ÿšจ ...uh oh! ๐Ÿšจ
unfortunately, all of the aforementioned posts consist of your deeply beloved offbeat blorbos getting completely curb-stomped by [insert character here] from [insert literally any recent/popular fandom here] in what has inevitably turned out to be a popularity contest rather than the original point of the tournament! oops!
#polls#shout out to the poll creators that actually include a ''i haven't seen one or both of these shows'' option to circumvent this issue#the issue being that everyone (understandably) votes for whichever one they recognize (bc participation is fun)#also. if this post somehow breaks containment someone will inevitably see my pfp and be like ''lol ok anime fan'' but this ain't about that#i've got hella todoroki fanmerch from back when i was obsessed but i still voted for miette as best tumblr blorbo.#didn't matter who i personally cared about the most. the poll was about the best TUMBLR blorbos and so i voted as such#of all the less popular media i follow. the only blorbo i've seen succeed in the polls is atul (from spiritfarer) in the frog tournament#the worst is definitely when a beautifully complex and well-written character you love gets defeated by. like.#shallow token/filler side character number 6 from some popular piece of media#especially when fans of said popular media obv don't really care about the character and only nominated+voted for them bc name recognition#anyway yadda yadda life is unfair uwu blah blah blah#my point is that it sucks when your fav offbeat media tags are getting completely drowned out by poorly seeded popularity contests#like. every suggested post for my followed tags these days is basically just. ''hey look!! ur neglected fav is losing again!!''#ik they have to tag for survey reach but it just ends up overwhelming quieter media tags with ''hashtag[popular show blorbo]sweep!1!!''#not madd#rivulette's thoughts
