#oc shipping tournament

[saline-tournaments]

Chip and Vulcan are the winners of the Oc Shipping Tournament! Congrats to them for winning the whole thing! Honestly, the final two were probably my two favorite of my oc ships so I was gonna be pretty happy either way. These two are adorable so them winning definitely feels deserved.

Here's what the final bracket looks like:

This was a fun tournament that I wanted to do for a while, hope you guys had fun as well!

⭐J will be open for asks for the duration of the tournament!! And Galacta is there too, I guess

⭐J seems relatively approachable, but is quick to butt heads with anyone who disapproves of her!

⭐J is an adult in her early 30s, and thus is potentially romanceable, if you're brave (or stupid) enough!

⭐ She's been around a while, and knows alot! Feel free to ask her about anything. Who knows if shell give you a straightforward answer though!

What kind of music do you like, Noir? (Sorry for sending so many asks in one day, I was just really thinking about your stuff today)

...Music? It's all the same junk to me.

-

(I should hate it by now, given how many times I've heard it, but there's something about Mom's Song that's really nostalgic.)

(It's kind of whatever to admit but... her music was really calming to listen to. She could hum the notes to a lullaby and Adeleine would be out in an instant. Even I used to fall asleep to her singing.)

(She used to sing while playing the piano, I remember.)

((That was maybe the last time I ever had any good dreams))

-

(...Adeleine played piano for a little bit too. I don't think music is genetic or anything, but she was pretty good. She stopped when we had to leave the house and everything behind.)

(Not like two little kids can carry a grand piano with them.)

(...I don't think she's played an instrument since...)

TOXIC SHIP TOURNAMENT 2023

Do you have a ship? Does it lean more towards the cringe or toxic side? Well, how about you bring that toxicity on over here and let them compete against other awful ships.

Rules:

1. The ships must involve OCs. As much as I love a good canon x canon ship, only OC x Canon or OC x OC ships are allowed.

2. While these ships tend to involve toxic tropes, I would prefer staying away from ones that involve non/dub con. But don’t worry! Things like a little gaslighting and/or kidnapping between lovers is totally fine!

3. NO SHIPS INVOLVING MINORS

4. Throuples and poly ships are welcome!

5. One ship per person please

6. Have fun!

7. Nominations close April 16th

NOMINATE YOUR SHIP HERE 💗

[nuhuh no peeking]

Featherfluff (Virtue Courtenlock/Comet Mhorlborne)

Their relationship is so fucking funny. Virtue is a weird little guy who (pre relationship) thought that he and Comet had an Insane Guy Rivalry and were True Haters. contrary to that, Comet was passionately in love. neither of them knew about how the other one felt. Virtue is anxious little harpy who’s cursed with bad luck and comet is so soft he’s so soft he’s soooo fluffy soft fluffy man soft

[mrstsung]

Tfw your opponent makes a fatal mistake.

Sorry i love the trope where you think you've won. But the other character starts laughing.

Yup,you're fucked.

This is bonus for characters who are getting their ass handled to them. More so if they aren't really the "fighting" type.

The tiger is sleeping,she isn't dead.

The kindness,gentleness,is a choice.

For your health's sake.

God this trope is so sexy *chef kiss*

Especially on women characters. But it could be on anyone regardless of gender. I just love me an underdog giving the just comeuppance. Hee hee >:3c

This is lady tsung btw my self insert oc and some random kombatant.

"i'll tell him soon", amaro says and then it didn't get out for another 3 years lol. get hot pink jjba oc blasted

in honour of @toxic-ship-tournament here's some silly backstory to amaro and calamari, ft their friend violino (@sboopie's oc!)

@hottopicabbacchio also wrote a lil blurb for this under the cut!!! please read it i'm going insane <3 smile

“So what do you want?” “I want you to tell Mari what you did.”

Amaro attempted to look unphased, crossing his arms and shrugging as he stared at Violino. He knew exactly what they meant. “What would be the point?” Violino shot him a look as she stepped around the mannequin. “The point would be that they would know. Especially is this is going to just be another phase for y-” “Have you seen any of the others last this long?” Amaro huffed out a breath. “It’s already been 4 months, if I wanted to drop him I already would have.”

Amaro was trying to push down the thoughts of when he had been using his stand on Calamari. He did feel bad for it, he knew she wasn’t even needed. For all of his yearning for something real he’d gotten too used to using his stand anyway, he can’t even use her on half the guys he passes in the street anymore. It wasn’t until after Poplar St revealed herself to him and he noticed she had all her swords on her while Calamari slept that he even realized he had stopped using her. There wasn’t a pinpoint last moment he could recall, but there was a very definitive moment for him when he knew he had fallen for Calamari - the same way Calamari had for him since the start.

Calamari should know. Amaro just… Needs to find the right time.

He looked up at the sound of a sigh and heels clicking on the ground as Violino stepped fully out of his workspace. She had a hand on her hip and was fixing him with a very pointed look. “Listen. You’ve had your little hookups, one night stands, phases, whatever you want to call them all - people know. I’m sure Calamari knows about them too but what he doesn’t know is that you used your stand on them, and that’s not fair.” Violino stopped walking once they were right in front of Amaro. “I don’t care what you were doing before, that’s your issue. But this time has gone on too long.” Amaro clenched his jaw and stared her down. “And who are you to tell me how I should feel now? You don’t think there’s a reason they’ve lasted so long?” Amaro felt sick to his stomach about the way he was talking about them. He sighed and uncrossed his arms, running a hand through his hair. “I… I don’t need anybody else telling me when I should do this.”

“Then I’ll do it.”

Amaro’s eyes widened and he dropped his arms to his sides. “You wouldn’t.”

Violino took another step closer and shoved his finger into his face. They were serious. “I would. If you’re not going to tell them then I will. He needs to know.”

Before they had a chance to say another word, Amaro grabbed Violino’s face and pulled him closer. His nails were digging a bit into her cheeks a bit and he pulled them so close that their noses were practically touching. Amaro was trying to keep his breathing steady.

"Violino,” His voice was low. “Listen to me. Don’t fucking ruin this for me, I have it under control, okay?” Amaro could see the doubt in her eyes. She tried pulling back but Amaro held fast. “I swear I’ll tell him soon. Don’t get involved, just let me handle it.”

Violino hummed, narrowing their eyes. She brought a hand up to rest on his elbow and Amaro allowed them to lean back a bit but didn’t let go quite yet. “Give me a reason why I shouldn’t go out and tell them right now.”

Amaro sighed and finally let go of Violino to allow her to stand up straight. It was easier to hide his shaking that way anyway. “Because I already stopped using my stand a month ago and I fucking love him?” That was probably the first time he had admitted that outloud.

“Great,” Violino didn't seem swayed. “Give me another.” Amaro shook his head and looked at Violino with desperation. “… Please?” He felt all the fight leave his body. “Vio, it has to be me who tells him. I told you I had it handled, I’m just… I’m trying to find the right time. I’ve never had to do this before.” Violino’s expression softened a bit, but she still didn’t seem convinced. “And when will the right time be?”

"Soon, I promise, okay? I’m still trying to understand what even happened myself, I don’t even know when exactly I stopped using Poplar St, it just kinda happened. I know Mari needs to know, I know he’s going to be mad at me, I know that it’s not fair. But I also know that I want to stay with him for as long as I can.” He took a shaky breath in, held it for a second, then let it out. “So… Please. Let me do this myself.”

Violino chewed on his lip for a second, giving a more pitying look at Amaro before closing her eyes and sighing. “Fine. Fine. I’ll tell Ambrose to keep quiet as well. Just don’t come crying if this backfires.”

Amaro simply nodded. “Thank you, Vio.”

26) Doctor's visit/Sad eyes

I am a lot of things.

I am head of the Frosilaen dynasty.

I am Queen of the Divine Mandate.

I am the one that held her grounds against a Worm.

I am the woman that fought against a god trying to incarnate.

I am the cultist that lost faith and gave back a world to people I once hated.

I am the one who almost reached the end of the Tournament of Glory while being old and weakened.

I am the one that looked God in the eyes and told Them to fuck off.

I am Lina Frosilaen.

People call me the Feline Queen, the Last Fortress, the Striker. All of those are true. I am a cat, I held my grounds, and I always, always, strike first.

But today, I am only a woman lying down in a bed, some kind of nursery bed, while a man in a white blouse is turning around me like a nervous cat. That man is the head doctor of the Mandatian palace. He is also my husband, and the father of my children.

And boy is he pissed.

"What the hell were you thinking, Lina ?! Running away without anyone knowing to none other place than the fucking Tournament for Glory ? You could have been killed !"

I roll my eyes. It's always like this. It's been like this since I was thirteen. Today, I am older than eighty. Not dying anytime soon, even if I do admit my body is failing me. My last adversary, I could have gotten him. Or not. He's evenly matched. Who knows.

It's been like this since I met him, but it still annoys me.

"Calm your tits, Baku, I was not here without supervision, Selene was here and she could have patched me up in a minute. Well, using a lot of my life force, no doubt, but people die at one point or another."

Except him, as young as he was when I gifted him that dagger. As young as he was when he put the wedding ring on my fingers. I look like I'm forty, maybe fifty now ; he's as immaculate as the first day.

People born recently joke on our apparent age difference. It's true, we do look like we have decades between us. The truth is, however, than even though I am the oldest, he follows me three years behind.

His pained look stays the same.

"Lina, I do not want to see your life end prematurely, nor do I wanna see your lifeless body again. If Chiara wasn't here that day..."

He's right. Thymos killed me. Chiara used her powers to bring me back. That I remember.

He doesn't remember she died in my place. That Death brought her back to help through the Beyond, and They cristallized their ressurection to reward me for not dying, and reaching Her.

There's not a lot of people that remember death.

I sigh.

"Baku, com'on, do you really believe one of this fuckers would manage to harm me ?"

"Well, SOMEONE did."

"And he left me alive when I forfeited. I didn't wanna reach the end, anyway. I already got my destiny."

The Tournament of Glory, for many youngsters, is the place where everyone can try and reach a glorious destiny between the hands of War herself. For me, it's just a way to see if I am still the hero they all pray for. I already got my glorious destiny. Plus, don't wanna fight my daughter-in-law. That's for the younglings that haven't lived a lot.

Baku is patching me up. We're alone in this tent and I want to do a little joke about other ways to patch me up ; not that he would care, and it proves I am in good health despite the wounds. But his eyes look so sad, so pained, I can't do that.

So I let him bandage my wounds in silence.

A silence he ends up breaking, after a long while.

"You used your Berserker form."

Oh.

So that's the cause of his anguish.

"Well, needed to put up a good fight."

"You know how I feel about pushing your Domain to the extreme."

I know. Baku thinks those powers are too much for my body. Maybe they are, since until a not so recent date, using that form always brought me to coma. But I know how to control them now. That was both an effort from my part, and a present from Them.

I remember when I was about twenty-five. The look in the eyes of the one that would become my most trusted advisor, one of my best friends, when I transformed for the first time in front of him. My magic has always been there, it sounded so natural, so normal ; apparently it wasn't.

Apparently it's an heritage from my father. A peculiar form of the Infinite Domain that lets me assume the form of every species I could have been. Limited to non-intelligent ones, because I am no changeling.

Mairù says it's a combo between the Infinite Domain from the old fucker, my Traveller blood and the human part I got from the woman that would have been my mother.

The Berserker is a problem because it is not a species per se. It's a vision of what I would have been if I was, myself, devoid of everything but pure, animal fighting instinct. That's why my body can't bear it, according to Crow. Because it is supposed to be outside my limits.

I don't care about all those magical chit-chat. I am me, I am my powers, I am my physical strenght and speed, I am my love for my spouses and children. I am Lina Frosilaen.

Baku and I only see the harm that form brings me.

"I know."

"Then why did you use it ?"

"Because it may come a day when I will be forced to do so. I need to train so that day, it won't cause me any harm."

He smiles. His eyes are still sad.

"You've done enough for this world, Lina."

"Never enough for you."

My wedding ring is bruning around my thumb.

His wedding ring. From a world where I wasn't enough.

Something is caressing my cheek. Wet, a little rough, the hands of a doctor. Yet, so soft, so warm.

"You've done all I ever wanted by just existing."

Sadness still glimmers in his iced blue eyes, and yet I see behind the light of pure, unalterable love. Those eyes that made me fall for the teen he was despite our fights and his black magic problems, the eyes that never, ever, ever, looked upon me and saw a stranger.

He's here.

It's all I've ever wanted, too.

WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR CHARLIE AND JOHN.

In honor of these freaks making round 2 of @toxic-ship-tournament , I have taken it upon myself to make a little propaganda post for them.

1. The Serpent and Eve symbolism:

(art by @glitcheddead )

Look at them! He’s the serpent wrapping himself around her very being, corrupting her to take the Apple and join him in paradise while also simultaneously creating new life with her, starting the second generation of families amongst Eden’s Gate. The minute he slithered on over to her and whispered in her ear she was fucked and clearly by the art, she gives in to her temptation eventually.

2. Couples That Slay Together Stay Together:

Just months after their wedding, John brings her to his little torture dungeon, presenting her with the gift of her ex-husband, neatly wrapped up in a bow and ready to be killed. Just for her. Just for her to see just how devoted he is to her. Hand in unlovable hand, they take him out. Together.

Also, check this recent WIP for a snippet of her doing girly things and killing to defend her man.

3. They’re Just Hot.

(art by @derelictheretic )

Look at that utter devotion. She would crawl on her hands and knees for him. They worship each other while simultaneously making the other much, much worse.
