Ultimate Besties Tournament: Round 3

Propaganda below cut

Mondstadt Bards (submitted 1 time):

They cared about eachother sosososoossooooooo much,,;;,,, venti taking on the form of his dearest friend to this day;;;;;; besties fighting a god together,,,,, them,, sillies,,

Ragbros (submitted 2 times):

From a storytelling perspective, in a game where the premise is reuniting with your lost sibling, these two are excellent foils as siblings who are technically separated but always within reach of each other. I bet that drives the traveler batty, that these two could technically reconcile at any time but Don’t. If you guys aren’t using your free ‘reconcile with your sibling’ card, then give it to them. And one’s even got connections to Khaenri’ah and the Abyss Order! Are these two good siblings to each other? Well. No not really. But the way they were best friends when they were kids and are now bitterly awkward after Diluc’s fratricide attempt (I know he was in a terrible headspace but cmon man. Should’ve at least apologized afterwards.) yet still hang out even in the beginning of the game (see: hanging out in Venti’s story quest and family vacation in GAA 1) is very entertaining. The mask is off now, Diluc. Do you still care about your brother? Kaeya’s internal conflict is very tasty too, still considering Diluc family even if he doesn’t really count himself a Ragnvindr anymore (if he ever did…), and it’s a wonderful narrative metaphor for his conflict of whether he considers himself a Mondstadter despite loving his second home. Kaeya’s a character with a lot of depth from his origins alone, but his personal relationships with the other Mondstadt characters really elevate that and his internal struggles, and none are as important as the family that welcomed him into Mond in the first place. With the exception of the travelers (and Paimon!), I think this is the most important platonic relationship in the game.

Ragbros angst and love makes the world go ‘round

FINAL ROUND

Propaganda from submitters below the cut; I will reblog any additions!

GlaDOS (Portal) -murderous ai -please don't ask me about the veracity of the cake -GLaDOS isn't just a computer she is the entirety of Aperture, she was created to contain the mind of a separate lady but seems to have her own personality, and her creators hate her and she killed them. I love her. I will forgive all her crimes. Yeah she's a bully but she's also severely hurt she can kill all she wants. (reblog link)

Data (Star Trek) -Data is a sentient synthetic life form designed in the likeness of Doctor Noonien Soong, his creator. In his growth as an individual, Data was later augmented with an emotion chip to help him better understand human behavior and increase his own humanity. -reblog link for images (1) -reblog link for images (2)

[gimmick-blog-bracket]

So this is one of those tournament blogs. This one is about gimmick blogs.

Submissions are closed!

I'm honestly shocked that it seems like nobody has done this before.

How this is going to work

So the amount of blogs in this tournament obviously hinges upon how many submissions this gets. I'm going to use the greatest power of two that you can get from the amount of valid* submissions. For instance, if there are 11 submissions, this tournament would have 8 blogs competing.

A gimmick blog can be submitted multiple times, but the ones that get removed from the tournament if the number isn't a power of 2 are the ones who lose a series of polls I will run after the debatable cases are taken care of.

*When I say valid, I mean that the blog is actually a gimmick blog. If a submitted blog is debatably a gimmick blog (which is to say that it's not obviously a gimmick blog, but it isn't just someone who submitted their main and said their gimmick is being cool or whatever), then I will probably run a poll to see if you people consider it a gimmick blog or not.

If you run a blog that was submitted to this bracket and for whatever reason don't want to participate, just let me know
