#gege bracket 2023

Back by popular demand:

✨Gege Bracket, Take 2 ✨

Same as the last time, I picked all the geges first and then used a randomiser to match them - there are a few matches here that I'm personally v 🥺 about because I wanted both geges to go far!!

You can vote for your favourite geges here. Each round is about 4 days long so please rest in between captchas my buddies 😂, and we'll have the Ultimate Gege crowned just before Christmas, so 😊!!

(sorry buddies, logistically, it was still easier to host this on polltab so i only had to set this up once instead of running separate polls on tumblr, so i'm afraid?? you'll still have to suffer through the captchas??? jiejie is really so sorry for all the captcha-related nightmares)

As a bonus followers only activity, you can send me your predictions of the Ultimate Gege before Round 1 ends - I'll randomly pick about 3 correct entries and send through a mini taobao-sourced gift package!! Open to international entries, will ship directly from China, I've got credit on my shipping account because I double-paid when shopping for 11.11 and they've got a no refunds policy :/

Thank you for sticking around in 2023, even though I've not been actually super active in fandoms. Jiejie loves all of you!! 💕✨

HOW is he not in the gege bracket that is my question.

WANG KAI for L’Officiel Hommes China, January 2023

That gege bracket captcha entirely made up of AI images representing 'felines' and 'rodents' and 'trains' is a wild ride.

i have never been more invested in a tumblr poll tournament than i have now over the 2023 gege bracket

[sarah-yyy]

ooooooh what is happening!!

[sarah-yyy]

4.5 hours to go on round 1 and whoever is in the bracket now voting for gong jun??? mad respect at the speed you’re going at it tbh, holy shit

[sarah-yyy]

for the gege bracket: my guess is that xz will win :)

i was surprised to not see lhk, or will he be in the didi bracket?

thanks for doing this again, it's always fun to see who goes far :)

me, only just realising that lhk is not in the bracket:

i have made a grievous error 🧎🏻‍♀️

[sarah-yyy]

okay i mean i expected an uphill battle for dage when we came into round 3 but also…….这也太uphill了吧哈哈哈哈哈哈

also for y’all voting in this bracket, do y’all maybe?? want to take a break?? and watch love me love my voice??? y’all will understand my dage problem once you do, i promise

[sarah-yyy]

these brackets tho……..

i thought hu ge had it in the bag but li xian just got a whole surge of votes so………. also???? XIAO BAI????!??

gong jun/long-ge fans: i am so dbq🧎🏻‍♀️

[sarah-yyy]

omg how did this become the bracket to watch 🫣

[sarah-yyy]

gong jun's fans are using a bot. no one will win against that

i'm not going to police how y'all want to vote, but this is only fun if everyone has to manually suffer through captchas together!!

gege bracket round one update:

xiao zhan vs cheng yi is a tight race as expected 😬 whoever wins this bracket in round one is probably going to be a finalist

wasn’t expecting xiao bai vs lyx to be so close so this is a surprise!!

i am so dbq but it looks like we’re going to lose gong jun in round one 😬 i remember how hard the guardian fam went in the first gege bracket and am 0% surprised by this

y’all dk how 🥺🥲 i actually feel about that last quarter tbh - hong yao vs ning-ge & cheng lei vs xiao shunyao 🫠 these were all my hot picks for black horse candidates and i am GUTTED they are all matched in the same quarter

[sarah-yyy]

tapping out at the perfect moment ehehehe

(honestly 666 to everyone in the hu ge/dage bracket MAD RESPECT)

[sarah-yyy]

one pre-bedtime update:

these are the brackets to watch in r1!!

all the others are going about as expected 🤔

[sarah-yyy]

as someone who decided to go hard for hong yao i feel proud. sorry to lyn but you just don't carry that gege-vibe

i had ning-ge down as a black horse candidate, so am a bit 🥺 about losing him. hong yao voters, y'all please show up for r2!!
