#my failgirl... my blorbo

[idealteeth]

this is whiskey, she's my d&d character

she's a jackalope, we're running her as the harengon race, she's a trans woman from the badlands and she sells potions that she's already used but saved a drop of and watered it down. she has a Thing for her namesake drink and for potions that she doesn't fully know the effects of.

apparently she's the world's worst rogue because she keeps getting nat 1s, she's grumpy and pathetic and criminal.

this is a campaign using APPLE, so there'll be fatfur art of her later, but right now she's being so normal, if pathetic

i love a little pathetic threatening little guy. i love a guy who runs full force into a door and eats shit, i love it when he murders people. i love a failgirl girlboss of a guy.

[vampireharpy]

trying some OC-tober this year with lil OC doodles-- I'll probably post them here in batches.

We have:

Hela: my blorbo, if you will. This is an AU version I've been playing with recently. She's, uh, fine.

Bonnie: the werewhale herself!!!

Evie and Ada: the protagonists from my graphic novel LOST TIME, which is officially 1 year old now!!

Frankie: my Starfinder gnoll envoy, and ultimate failgirl

[malaierba]

i just peaked into an alternative TL where Laios was the one that got eaten by the dragon, so Falin & co had to go save him.

The way it played out (and I was thinking about this before falling asleep bcs it came up in a conversation with a RP buddy) Falin wants to go immediately, Marcille and Toshiro can't stop her, ChilChuck tags along, Namari is instructed by Toshiro to go look for his retainers so they catch up to them since he feels like the party is at a disadvantage with only him as a physical fighter.

The funny thing is that the fandom went from a ship war between Farcille and Shulin to a unspoken agreement that those three were in a V poly relationship, since over the course of the story the combined wet paper bag energy of Marcille + Toshiro (plus the face that Toshiro is canonically a bit intimidated by Marcille. Marcille. Marcille) made everyone realise, oh, they're a funny duo, let's put them in situations. Romance is a situation.

And this was the fanon until the party meets Kabru & co, and they rescue Laios, point at which the weird foiling/reflecting/"I respect you and I know you've had good intentions with me but the way you approach me gets on my nerves because it's rude and also I feel responsible for not making up for your carelessness which got you eaten but also if you saw me properly I'd want to befriend you please SEE ME properly so I can befriend you"/"you're the coolest thing since swiss cheese what do you mean we aren't friends already"/"actually I agree with the guy dying to kick some sense into you and also your ass I've been trying to befriend you for so long please look at me properly this is who I am underneath wanting to leverage your strength and also keep an eye on you bcs your fascination with monsters concerns me: a guy who recognises your strengths and your struggles and wants to relate to you as an equal"/"btw isn't it funny how we're so similar in so many ways, intrigued buddy who I've just adopted?" "You're right, interesting, this is the first time I find it so easy to speak to a guy approximately my age" "surrogate mommy issues?" 🤝 "Surrogate mommy issues" happens,

At which point the fandom divided like we were the sea and fucking moses was taking a stroll:

Pathetic failgirls V-shaped poly ship VS. Chaotic yaoi polycule. The shade was insane, "Toshiro's a trans girl and Falin cracked his egg" truthers vs. "He's gay and demi and so repressed he's one 'no, thank you' away from collapsing into himself like black hole"

Don't get distracted. The IMPORTANT THING was that in this dream I kept winning because my blorbo (Toshiro, Falin) is automatically my fandom bicycle so I was thriving. It was a feast and chat I was getting fed.

This revelation looped like 4 times with minimal changes in my mind (that I can remember). It was great. Why am I in this fuckass TL smfhsmfhsmfhsmfhblrblrwrlll

[kyeterna]

actually no i really need to go back to working on the comic because of this gem

I was looking back at sketch files and found the idiotropi rebooted stuff and-

I really want to go back to working on the comic but i doubt i will get far before I get a new thing to think about 24/7. If not for the story itself i wanna do it for Tearness god I love their design so much I was tempted to use them as my actual persona

[rottingskunk]

Dungeon meshi's new ep makes me bawl MY EYES OUT WHY😭😭😭 Marcille my favorite failgirl who is my favorite blorbo (no co-herent thoughts only ANGUISH)

(*ﾟ∀ﾟ人ﾟ∀ﾟ*)♪

Blazblue Week Day 2- Favorite C Series Character

If it wasn't obvious already. I love Trinity Glassfille with my entire heart and soul.

For this one, every time I got bored or frustrated while working on the other pieces for this week, I'd open up this sheek and draw a Trinity to cool off. She heals me, I am forever grateful.

Below is some Trinity rambling while I'm drowsy from sleep because 🥺 owough

I love her. It's unreal. Like I have to stress this. Usually I don't get crazy super attached to characters even when it's a series I'm super into at the time. What I mean by that is until Trinity I had felt such extreme joy seeing the silly blorbo on screen. For a non main character she's just so interesting and sad and sweet. She's pathetic and strong and stupid and great and Mori you were fucking COOKING.

Just this sweet lady who's too kind for her own good and health. As opposed to Celica who is also extremely kind but is living such a thumbs up life it matters not. It's wild to me that Trinity is Punished for it. Wild positive. Like that's incredible that's hilarious that's so sad the poor thing. She does so much for others and asks for so little and got even Less in return. That's sick and twisted. I hate you Terumi do it again I loved it. None of this is coherent. Just know Trinity is like that beautiful woman drowning painting. Ophelia? Ophelia. Trinity is my Ophelia. My sad wet pathetic kind longing sorrowful miserable apologetic ghost milf babygirl Ophelia. Thank you Mori for making her. I'll spin her around in my mind until I pass on. I'm eating her. I'm so eating her. My chewtoy failgirl. Cringe and woeful. I'm giving Yuuki Terumi many awards for absolutely ruining his wife this poor girl. But I am also lighting him on fucking fire. Ohhhhhhhhhh Twinityyyyyy gwaaasufille MI AMOOOOOORE

cough. Uh anyways the Trinity holding a gelatin is a reference to a song I would listen to a lot while drawing her. Somehow it's very Trinity to me. And then the Trinity with the elf ears is a reference to her beta designs. She still has them to me...thank you

MUSICAL FAILGIRL FIGHT BRACKET !!

hi its @riveracheron you all know the drill by now. murder time.

inspired by @the-joker-of-musicals and just the . act of putting tumblr tropes onto musical characters i decided i wanted to host a bracket for my personal favorite trope:

the failgirl/girlfail/girlfailure/pathetic woman, whatever u call it.

women who are just so messy and pathetic and maybe a little evil but kinda bad at it - yknow your. sasha waybrights and your toralei stripes and your helene bezukhovas

there are So many in musicals and so. they should kill eachother

aaaanyway. here are the rules:

- right now i am . going to accept only female characters - malefailures are their own trope and the flavor is much different than girlfails, at least to me. i’ll probably do a malefail bracket after, because musicals have a lot of those.

- because of the openness of the trope, i will also accept characters from other types of song-based medium, whether thats cabaret, song cycles, operas, musical movies, concept albums, etc. stuff like razia’s shadow, repo or even mechanisms albums are fine here! they’re not technically musicals but. idk the tropes a little niche and i want spots to fill. basically if it uses singing to tell a story, it works here.

- i will be selecting characters based on how much they embody the trope and number of submissions, not how much i like them. this isn’t a popularity contest, and id rather people vote based on their tropeyness and propaganda as well. also,

- i also have the right to refuse any submissions that i find in poor taste, which will not Exclude any musicals from general submissions but i will be screening all of the submissions.

- please. think about what you submit and the real world ramifications of it. i would not feel comfortable calling someone from say, Parade, a failure girl because of the subject material. i know a lot of musicals are dark and talk about real world situations and issues, but there’s a difference between the way history is portrayed in Six versus how it’s portrayed in the aforementioned Parade.

- as always there is room for propaganda! please tell me about why your blorbo should win. i’ll be looking into the ones i don’t know, but i would love to hear anything straight from the source.

Submissions will be open until Sunday, August 6th, 12:00 AM, EST.

[zombified-queer]

Realistically, I know the TorBooks Tumblr does not have a catalogue of all the Locked Tomb characters sorted, ranked and filed like we fans do (y'know because we're insane about our blorbos). Nor would they have the time to commit to memory So Many Blorbos (y'know as a marketing blog).

But the thought of there being a DIFFERENT character named Palimedes is going to live rent-free in my head. Who is this mysterious person? Where are they from? Are they ALSO a failgirl lesbian with no rizz?

[barometz--balut]

making my own post re: this post on female blorbos bc i have more i can say that can fit into the tags

one of the very first fictional characters i became obsessed with was glados even though back then my knowledge of portal was just from fanmade portal parody videos. i even put her name in my first email

vinyl scratch/dj pon3

i watched black lagoon when i was ten bc nowacking, who was well known for doing fan voice acting of vinyl also made a black lagoon abridged series, and i though revy and balalaika were really cool

also nowacking turned out to be FTM so thats cool

also i hope there are no ten year olds on my blog but dont watch black lagoon when you're ten maybe

middle school friend got me to watch a danganronpa lp and i got really attached to fukawa. failgirl of all time

cio kill six billion demons

painwheel skullgirls. angy

peacock skullgirls. hell yeah

anthy himemiya.

ininia witch hat atelier

bethany and lilith from tboi bc they are fun to play

honorable mentions izutsumi dungeon meshi, nanami rgu, juri rgu, asakusa eizouken, asirpa golden kamuy, susie deltarune, kumatora mother 3, marie skullgirls bc they just revealed that her pushblock(?) is her suplexing a skeleton,

Blorbo Showdown: Round 1, Match 9

On the left: Naven Nuknuk from Epithet Erased. My favorite from the original stream series, and still my favorite in the reboot. How does a man with so much money manage to be such a failgirl? The world may never know. his vocal performance is SO good in the audiobook also. he rules

On the right: Inside-Track from Astronaut: The Best. The worst person in the tournament is also the most obscure- I had to go get this screenshot myself! From someone's lets play! He's from a game I beta test, and he has no nuance in canon. Horse-faced capitalist bastard. (Yes, I'm the one entering him in all the tournaments.) In the fashion of all the best fictional characters, everything I like about him comes from my own brain.

[generalherasyndulla]

the bingo meme but exclusively villains from visual novels

SO to keep this simple I'm sticking to one villain per VN and I'm being strict in what I even define as a VN (so no danganronpa, zero escape, aini or ace attorney. although if anyone WANTS my opinion on character from those series my askbox is open)

That said except for a few exception most VN villains (at least from VNs I've played are kinda uhhhhh boring) so don't expect much interesting ANYWAY let's begin under the cut

Takano from Higurashi

You know you'd think I'd have more to see about Takano but like I don't. She's a good character and she works WELL within Higurashi but like I don't particularly love her, that said I also don't hate her. I even get why other people love her she doesn't really click for me in a way that other villains or even in a way that other higurashi characters do. She's a great character just not a blorbo at least for me.

Bernkastel from Umineko

Starting to realize this is gonna become repetitive because once again I like Bern, but most of this doesn't really apply to how I feel about her. She's good I like her character, but that's as deep as that goes.

Mitake Toujirou from Ciconia

So Ciconia is not complete yet so thoughts COULD change but for now GOD this man sucks but in an interesting way so far. I think the contrast between him seemingly being a doting and embarrassing father (in a society where parenthood isn't even a thing anymore) and being the kind of person who would just control his child's body to murder one of his friends makes for a very hateable dude. We don't know much about his motives yet but what we do see so far fucking uhhhhh sucks

Rikako Uematsu from Raging Loop

So I have mixed feelings on this one. Because on the one hand, Rikako is one of the only interesting characters in Raging Loop that has some form of depth. On the other hand that depth is underwritten within its narrative and is very grossly and unnecessarily sexualized. And even then she's made sympathetic and redeemed in a way that doesn't really work at least for me. Then again a lot of Raging's Loop's ending doesn't work for me AT ALL. I do think it's funny that there's like only one route she wins because she's just really bad at making her plan succeed. The concept of a failgirl villain is conceptually funny so she has that going for her!

Aimee Joubert The House in Fata Morgana

So Fatamoru is one of those series I'd argue doesn't really have a main villain. Like sure Morgana takes an antagonistic role in the game but like the whole point of its final door is to save her, and is about how even the men she cursed who did horrible things to her are still people and not complete monsters. Aimee however is only in Michel's chapter and is just an unlikeable person who tortures Michel because she can and has zero redeeming qualities. The backstage extra of fatamoru even call her the most evil woman in the game and yeah I agree she sucks SO much but that's the point.

Kimijima Kou from Robotic;sNote

Shout out to Kimijima for being them most memorable and interesting villain in the entire sciadv series. There's really one other sciadv villain I'm gonna talk about her but like purely going off of canon Kimijima is the best written villain. It's hard to really talk about him since what works about him is the plot twist that he actually is a villain but it works really well! He sucks but he's fun to hate. A solid villain for a deeply underrated VN

Wakui from Chaos;Child

So there's not a really a lot of Wakui in canon and he's not even well developed or anything. BUT as you the bitch asking this question know we have talked a LOT about chaos;child and various headcanons and I'm just attached to our version of Wakui that we expanded canon off of so I appreciate him because of that (and the dog that we decided he definitely has)

Maya from Slow Damage

There are technically other characters I could have chosen for Slow Damage but I think Maya is the most interesting of the Slow Damage villains. Sure she's dead before the start of the VN but she really just haunts the game, especially in Fujieda's route, as the awful manipulative person who tried to groom her son into being just like her. She's vile and will gladly hurt others to achieve what she wants, including Towa but she's not just a one-dimensional hate-sink. Towa finding her diary does help give more depth to her in a way that doesn't remotely excuse her actions or tries to redeem her. In fact it's just an effective to show how she has failed because Towa is not like her. He's not alone like she was and he never will be. (and god slow damage is SO fucking good y'all.)

Alphard from 428 Shibuya Scramble

Alphard is such a FUN villain I don't have much to say about her if only because she's more of a plot twist villain BUT the reveal is done SO well and she has SUCH a presence when the reveal happens too. She also kinda wins at the end which is fascinating and really sells the whole brilliant criminal mastermind thing. Even when she loses she wins!!! Also I haven't watched the anime spinoff yet but whatever the fuck is happening with Canaan is probably gay so good for her. She sucks but also we love a girlboss!

Shuu from Hatoful Boyfriend

Yeah I can't justify anything here I just really love Shuu he sucks SO much but also he genuinely doesn't know any other way of being. Sometimes you fuck up EVERYTHING because you're gay and thought genocide was the best way to help a child???? Literally there is SO much wrong with him and I love that for him <33 Also his human design is kinda hot so there's that going for him too.

Ryouta from Lucid9

He sure is a murder man and that's about it really. He sucks but he serves his purpose in the game well so. meh

Toue from drammatical murder

It's been years since I played dmmd and all I remember about him is his line about being able to "stylishly and drammatically murder someone" that's never fucking elaborated on. the fuck was he talking about????

Monika from doki doki literature club

My opinion on ddlc is mainly that it's fine for what it is but Monika's a pretty good character within it not gonna lie. Idk I have a soft spot for her and she makes me :)

Inubushi Keiko from Remember11

Wow a serial killer with DID how groundbreaking :/ Tbh the only interesting thing about her is that she's involved in the whole body swap through time thing so sometimes she is possessed by a fucking baby and a real woman who is freezing to death and ultimately dies. Idk she doesn't do much for me and as a character herself shes one of the weaker aspects of remember11

and that's all I could think of VN villains (besides some sciadv ones I left out because eh sciadv villain are mostly boring). Enioy whatever this is :)

[originalcharactersexyman]

Behold, my submission to the OC tumblr sexyman tournament. His name is Dante. On the surface he seems totally put-together and very cool and better than you and has great fashion sense, but really he only has that last thing going for him. Just beneath the surface he's actually very silly and a bit childish, and sucks at everything. His favorite food is chicken nuggets and he really wants a racecar bed. His father Daxius is very disappointed in him. He's such a failgirl!

This particular design (art by @/skittylover3-vj) is specific to the Epithet Erased version of the blorbo. He's a mundie, for the record, but the inner fabric of his longcoat is imbued with his mother (Andromeda)'s epithet (void). It's basically like a hammerspace. (his dad's epithet is express, by the way. he's got evil empath powers. yikes!)

i like dumbte because he's ourple <3 lowkey wanna doom him via narrative

some extra trivia: he's 186cm (6'1"), his birthday is april 19, he's bi, and according to my bestie porcy (wap kingdom's resident expert on silly personality tests) his MBTI is ENFJ and his enneagram subtype is 2w3.

DANTE HAS BEEN ENTERED!

GOOD LUCK!
