Friends to Lovers Tournament: Finals

propaganda under the cut!

Soriku:

Ultimate friends to lovers. They've been best friends since childhood but as they start to grow up, those feelings change into a more romantic nature but neither handles this well. Riku in particular has a whole villain arc about it bc his insecurities about the situation get the better of him, meanwhile Sora isn't self aware enough to recognize his feelings are romantic in nature but he spends all of his time desperately trying to get Riku back so they can be together again. Ultimately even after they come together, their love continues to be a main driving force of the narrative and it's so palpable

Zosan:

They’re rivals yes, but first and foremost they’re best friends. They know each other better than anyone. Sanji asked Zoro to kill him if he’s ever not himself (long story), the implication being that Zoro knows him so well he’d be the first to tell (he would). Your honor, they are friends and they are in love.

Multiple Elements Character Tournament - Round 3 6/12

Mirabelle Chevalier - Paper and Scissors

Sora - Fire, Ice, Lightning, Wind, Water, Light, Time, and Gravity

Propaganda under the cut

Mirabelle Chevalier: although she's not the POV protagonist of the game, she's the "chosen one" of her story in an unconventional way - everyone believes she was chosen by the God of the religion she follows, but she was really chosen by another person and feels like a Fake Hero because of it. she has a personal character arc where she struggles with her religion and realizes she's aro/ace at the end of it too!! her cute little head is full of Anxiety and Care For Everyone and i lobve her. her dual-element-ness isn't all that integral to the story but she's just so good we think she deserves a W anyway

Sora: Guy has saved the multiverse three times over, he deserves something nice

Quote 1: "Mickey! It's Riku. They put bugs in him! What?" - Sora & Mickey, Kingdom Hearts

Quote 2: "Don't you see? All of you... Your gods destroyed you!" - Ganondorf, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

Propaganda

Quote 1: This is fucking perfection. Like I honestly can't put into words how good just go listen to it (Link to Video) - Mod Chaos, my eyes won't focus TwT

Quote 2: The iconic Wind Waker Ganondorf speech is probably his one about the winds and how he coveted Hyrule's, and rightfully so. But there's something fantastic about this speech, where he talks about how inhospitable the Great Sea is (a smattering of islands, with no fish to catch in the vast oceans,) and derides the idea that the gods sealed Hyrule away for its people's protection, or that those people would ever be able to accomplish anything so great as reawakening Hyrule. Does he think the people of the Great Sea are less than the Gerudo, who had their own struggles surviving in the desert? Or did he secretly hold the same contempt for his own people? Either way, the Great Sea holds nothing for him, and he has nothing but disdain for the gods. - Submitter

Botanic Tournament : Asters Bracket !

Final

[idkman-ijustwannamakeatournament]

Round 2: Match 7

"Two Sides of the Same Coin"- Two things that are regarded as part of the same thing. Even if they're very different, they have at least one common thread that helps them fit into this trope.

Propaganda:

Aziraphale and Crowley:

(no propaganda)

Ventus and Vanitas:

"What if you split one person with a tragic past into two people and then they had polar opposite reactions to their shared trauma? The fact that Ventus had a loving family after the split and Vanitas was left behind with the evil scientist was definitely a factor but I find it cool that despite them being ostensibly the same person with most of the same background of fighting in a war, being coerced into murdering someone for their spot on the time travel lifeboat, getting amnesia about it, and then being retraumatized by an old wizard who is hell bent on feeding as many souls as possible into a meat grinder in order to call heaven down to earth, vanitas is a ball of rage who wants to burn everything down so that everyone feels as much pain as him, and Ventus is desperate to internalise everything and forget it ever happened, kind and accepting to a fault."

Round 1 Wave 4

[friends-to-lovers-tournament]

Friends to Lovers Tournament: Semifinals, Match 1

propaganda under the cut!

Makoharu:

They are the first ship that comes to mind when I think of friends to lovers. I know Free! hasn't been popular since 2013, bug I just love them so much... Makoto's devotion to Haru. There's even a movie that flashes back to when they're kids when Makoto says "I love swimming and I love Haruka". Soft..

Soriku:

Ultimate friends to lovers. They've been best friends since childhood but as they start to grow up, those feelings change into a more romantic nature but neither handles this well. Riku in particular has a whole villain arc about it bc his insecurities about the situation get the better of him, meanwhile Sora isn't self aware enough to recognize his feelings are romantic in nature but he spends all of his time desperately trying to get Riku back so they can be together again. Ultimately even after they come together, their love continues to be a main driving force of the narrative and it's so palpable
