Do you like Tumblr Sexymen? BOY DO I HAVE A COMPETITION FOR YOU!

Welcome to the 2023 niche tumblr non-sexyman competition! What is this, you may be asking? Well, let me tell you!

Do you have a character who you love so much? Is he an absolutely horrendous man who meets several of the qualifications of a tumblr sexyman, but for whatever reason, he isn't one yet? Maybe he's too niche, or the mods of the wiki just haven't realized his potential yet. Well, this bracket is for that exact purpose!

I'm Hermann (pronouns are they/them), and I'll be your moderator (yes, I am also the moderator of the @clash-of-the-wizards . I'm running 2 polls at once, because I have absolutely no life). In this bracket, we'll be pitting 32 niche, or otherwise non-canonical, sexymen against each other, and seeing who comes out victorious! Maybe, whoever wins will be the next person I submit to the moderators of the sexypedia, and maybe they'll become canon! Here's hoping!

GUIDELINES

If it's a rule on the sexypedia, it applies here. These rules include: Real people will not be considered, minors will not be considered, original characters will (sadly) not be considered, and no personifications of real-world locations and/or tragedies will be considered. Please read up on the sexypedia rules before submitting your sexyman nomination

Please make sure your characters do fit the sexyman archetypes! I will be looking over each and every entry individually, and I have full rights to disqualify anyone. The more archetypes a character fits, the more likely I am to consider them for the bracket.

You can submit any character from any fandom, just so long as they exist within the rules and boundaries of the competition

Please don't come back and repeatedly nominate the same sexyman-to-be. You can come back and nominate several sexymen, but I do want some diversity. I'm asking for NICHE sexymen for a reason!

SEXYMEN ALREADY IN THE WIKI WILL NOT BE PUT IN THE RUNNING!!!! I might start one for sexymen already in the wiki but who receive minimal recognition, but this one is for the sexymen who aren't there but deserve to be there!

Lastly, have fun! This is for funnies! It's just to see what sexymen tumblr wants to see added to the register!

Unlike my other bracket, and unlike most other brackets I've seen, for the sake of both diversity and staying true to the sexyman feeling, I will be hand-picking our contestants. You're more likely to have your sexyman added if you include the archetypes that fit them in your submission, because it spares me research time, and I appreciate that :) it is, however, not required. Just know, the initial part of this isn't decided by votes, unless I have a tie that I need broken. In such case, you guys will be the final judges.

Got any questions about the polls or about me? My ask box is open, and I'll try and answer everything! Something about the comp inspires you to make art? I think you so should! I just ask you either drop it in my inbox or you tag me in the post!

DEADLINES

NOMINATIONS WILL CLOSE AT 11:59 PM EST on WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5.

I HAVE ENTERED:

Newton Geiszler - Pacific Rim Londo Mollari - Babylon 5

YOU WILL ENTER:

Whoever the hell you want! Go crazy!

Now....

GO SEXY THOSE MEN! ... or something!

[tournamentdirectory]

No sexypedia entry, despite deserving one? @nichesexymanbloodbath finds a sexyman who ought be there but isn't.

Run by @hermannsprecursors, who also runs @clash-of-the-wizards; see their entry.

Horrible Man Protagonist Showdown!

Oh boy, I can't seem to be stopped, can I?

Hey howdy, folks! Your favorite pollrunner is back again with a fresh new competition for you! Does your favorite piece of media just have the worst main character ever? Do you stand for their cause, whatever it may be, but just hate them with every fiber of your being? Maybe it's how they go about their mission, or maybe they're just not a very nice person to be around. Well, this is the competition for you!

Hi, I'm Hermann (pronouns are they/them, please!), the mod of @clash-of-the-wizards and @nichesexymanbloodbath (which, hopefully, should be getting some new life in the fall) and overall bad person in media liker, coming at you again with another fresh and hip competition! In the horrible man protagonist showdown, we pit some of these protags who you wouldn't ever want to meet in real life against each other and see who the most unpleasant one really is, or just who Tumblr likes the most. I don't know, I feel like I opened pandora's box with this one. The possibilities are endless!

GUIDELINES

This isn't really the place for anti-heroes or villain protagonists. It's basically the inverse of the Affably Evil trope-- Good is Not Nice, if you will, people with good morals or an honorable end goal who are just really mean, and overall absolute dickfaces.

NO REAL PEOPLE. Hopefully, this goes without saying!

Please don't come back and repeatedly nominate the same person. I know who you fuckers are. Save your voter fraud for the actual polls (/hj)

I won't BAR specific media, but, like, if I view it as problematic or feel I may get backlash for including it, I simply won't. So, uh, be careful, I guess.

This is specifically for horrible man PROTAGS. Those main characters you love to hate. I know every piece of media has its Good Is Not Nice character, but it's so much more fun when it's the main character

Horrible man is a gender-neutral term in this case.

Be civil and have fun!

DEADLINES

I don't feel like dealing with fucking INFINITE amounts of entries (Clash of the Wizards and Niche Sexyman Bloodbath both had 300+ entries I had to sort through), so I'm going to be cutting off either at the end of the month, aka, SEPTEMBER 30, or when I hit over 200 entries. Whichever happens first. These deadlines are flexible, though!

Got any questions about the polls or about me? My ask box is open, and I'll try and answer everything! Something about the comp inspires you to make art? I think you so should! I just ask you either drop it in my inbox or you tag me in the post!

Of course, as is customary, I shall tag my inspiration. This competition was inspired by @affablyevilshowdown , @germanboyjoust , and @bestadaptationtournament specifically, but it's mostly just because I wanted to run another poll

Think you got it? Good! Now.... SEND ME YOUR AWFUL MEN!!!!

[nichesexymanbloodbath]

Dude, you're speaking to the man who ran a wizard competition, and watched Rincewind get more nominations than Gandalf the fucking Grey, and I was rooting for him the whole damn time. I already am in love with the pathetic scarecrow man who can't even spell wizard right. You don't need to convince me.

[nichesexymanbloodbath]

This isn't propaganda for one of my contenders I'm entering but I do need to ask you all, niche sexyman bloodbath fandom:

Would you all believe me if I told you, this man, Londo Mollari, this beautiful old man, this prime disaster of 90s sci fi television from THE Star Trek: Deep Space 9 ripoff. Would you believe me if I told you he has six dicks

And they're tentacles. And he can grab things with them.

This man. This absolute beautiful, sexy abomination of 90s science fiction. He has 6. Is that not the most tumblr thing you have ever heard.

I promise this isn't mod propaganda I'm just thinking about it while laying in bed in immense pain wishing I could rewatch Babylon 5

[nichesexymanbloodbath]

Okay. Look anon. I'm usually a reasonable man. I really am. I'll hear most anyone out on anything. But THIS?

BADGEY?

YOU MEAN THE ABOMINATION CREATED BY RUTHERFORD THAT TRIED TO MURDER HIM AND HAS SINCE BECOME A JOKE BADGEY?

THIS ABOMINATION?

MAYBE??? I DONT??? I???? LOOK MAN YOU CAN TRY AND CONVINCE ME BUT IM SO FUCKING WORRIED FOR YOU I DONT THINK IM GONNA BE ABLE TO HEAR YOU OUT ON THIS ONE.

[nichesexymanbloodbath]

Who is this guy he looks like a wet cat and i love him.

[nichesexymanbloodbath]

Guys Im a fool. I'm an IDIOT. I summoned the entire Babylon 5 fandom to this blog with Londo and the potential of Kosh (you guys know who you are) and never once. Never ONCE did I mention HIM

NOT ONCE DID I BRING UP THIS SLUT

Guys I cant run competitions anymore I don't even know how to pick out a fandom's best competitors... and I chose LONDO over HIM??? Smh...

I'm sorry that THIS is the post I come back with after disappearing for months but oh my LORD.

[nichesexymanbloodbath]

So what I'm getting is he's Hermann Gottlieb (literally the base of my entire online personality) but he can shoot things with his mind.

Wonderful, he's mine now. I love him. Welcome to the club Sasha

[nichesexymanbloodbath]

Hey while I try and find time and motivation to run this I think Im gonna do a sexyman candidate of the day thing so like send in your suggestions, I wanna learn about new characters

[nichesexymanbloodbath]

OOOOOOH MEIN GOTT I WANT HIM

I NEED THIS MAN NICHE SEXYMAN BLOODBATH FANDOM I HAVE NEVER SEEN HIM BEFORE TODAY NOW I NEED TO WATCH THIS SHOW HES SO. HES SOOOOOO

[nichesexymanbloodbath]

oh god someone had the same idea as me. when both our brackets are over we should make the winners duke it out

-@next-top-sexyman

I AGREE WE SHOULD MAKE OUR WINNERS DUKE IT OUT! I'LL HOST! I'LL DRAW FANART BANNERS AND EVERYTHING

[nichesexymanbloodbath]

Guess who finally found time !!!!

I didn't forget about this I swear. I was dealing with stupid shows and stupid chronic illness and stupid school finals, for I am just a humble high school student presenting sexymen.

Anyways the competitors should be finalized and the bracket should be up tonight and the polls will start tomorrow!

[nichesexymanbloodbath]

Do you have an anticipated start date for the bracket?

I would really like to start it by April 27th, but I can't make any promises. I've been exhausted lately, and it seems like every time I recover from an illness or a bout of fatigue I get another illness and/or bout of fatigue right after it. All but 5 of the competitors have been selected, though, so hopefully I can finish it up before the 27th! Again, no promises though. Sorry for taking so long!

[nichesexymanbloodbath]

whats the submission you disagree with the most so far?

That I disagree with? I dunno. Oklahoma. But all the other submissions actually have some potential. I dunno, I still have a lot of research to do, so I guess I'll get back to you on this one

[nichesexymanbloodbath]

Sorry fellas i just remembered I'm a busy theater kid and a student and I haven't had time to research your blorbos so idk when the bracket is gonna be finished, seeded, and up for polls to start. But count on them sometime within the next week, hopefully!
