[sleepyhead-poll]

WELCOME TO THE SLEEPYHEAD CHARACTER POLL!

Submissions are open until January 15th 2024! (Edit: Submissions closed early on the 7th!)

Rules for submissions:

Submit a character from any piece of media who is sleepy! Being sleepy has to be a character trait. It doesn't have to be their main character trait, but it does a reoccurring one (not just a one-off trait in one episode)!

Being tired or "lazy" doesn't inherently make a character sleepy! A character being overworked or a character not wanting to work/trying to get out of doing tasks does not inherently make them qualify. To be sleepy, they must want to be asleep and might often be seem dowsing off. Sleepyhead behavior. Naptime is one of their favorite times. It's in their personality and characterization. That doesn't mean they can't ADDITIONALLY be overworked, tired, or "lazy", it's just not the only thing.

No character who are comatose / in "hibernation" / in a deep sleep. This includes Sleeping Beauty (she's not really a "sleepy" character, she's forced asleep; though if it's a adaptation of her character where she's a sleepyhead that counts).

No insomniac characters. This falls more into a tired character that isn't quite a sleepyhead.

No real people. That includes submitting yourself or your pet, as tempting as it is.

No fanon interpretations/fan characters/OCs/etc.

I reserve the right to reject character if they are from offensive media.

Be respectful! Most sleepy characters are lighthearted in nature, but real people with real chronic fatigue & illnesses do exist. So no referring to characters' sleepy behaviors as being "useless" or anything like that. Just be decent.

No character automatically gets in, so feel free to submit anyone!

I am aiming for a 64 single-elimination bracket, but depending on the volume of submissions, I will make the bracket smaller or larger.

WELCOME TO THE LITTLE MERPOLL!

We have already done Little Red Riding Hood and Cinderella, so it's time for the Little Mermaid! Submissions are open now until Friday, February 16th (though they may close earlier if there are many submissions). Please read the following rules before submitting:

Submit a character who is based on the character of "the Little Mermaid" by Hans Christian Andersen! Adaptations where the character is not portrayed as a mermaid are allowed, as long as the story is still explicitly based off the original story.

I will also be accepting characters "playing" the Little Mermaid in a one-off thing, either through some sort of play, being magically transported into the role, etc.

Just because a character is a mermaid, does not mean they qualify. They have to specifically be based on or an allusion of the Little Mermaid.

No OCs or fan characters, official characters only! For more information, read this post from when Cinderpoll was going on.

No real people!

I reserve the right to reject a character if I do not feel comfortable including them, either because of the subject of the story or the media it is from.

When we did Cinderpoll, it was a 128-bracket. I have a feeling there are much less Little Mermaid characters out there compared to Cinderella, so the goal is going to be for 64! That said, if we DO manage to get enough for a 128, I will happily do it! (No more than that, though.)

Feel free to write propaganda on why your character is the best, either when you are submitting the character or through the ask box afterwards.

Be nice and have fun!!! This is just for fun, please do not get too worked up if your character is not submitted a lot or loses in the tournament. This is just for fun and is not indicative of morality of the characters who win.

Here are the two upcoming polls, please submit to both of them!

[babygirl-beatdown]

Tumblr's First Ever Babygirl Beatdown

Have YOU ever seen the saddest, wettest, most pathetic man on Earth and refused to refer to them as anything other than "babygirl?" Are you as addicted to these polls as I am? Introducing the BABYGIRL BEATDOWN, where Tumblr chooses competitors for a 32-character bracket to decide who is our ultimate babygirl! Some rules:

Character submitted must be fictional.

Submissions must be through asks to make it easier to ensure nobody submits the same character twice (also because idk how Google Forms works). I will never post the submissions onto this blog.

Please include a picture of said character in the submission.

And that's it!

May the saddest, wettest, and most pathetic man win.

[whosthatcharacter-bracket]

hi!!! welcome!!

i caved and made a poll bracket. similar to another bracket thats been cancelled (as far as i know) this bracket is for characters of all sorts -with a catch- no one will no who the characters are until theyre eliminated, masked singer style!!

I highly encourage the submissions of obscure characters, as they should thrive in this type of environment!! I just ask no real-life people and if a character is from a piece of media that makes me uncomfortable i have the right to refuse them entry to the tournament.

LITTLE FREAKS ARE HIGHLY ENCOURAGED ALSO!!

i think that about covers it, characters will be voted upon via motifs broad descriptions etc and when someone gets knocked out there will be the big reveal!!!

also i think the rounds will last a day until semifinals/finals whichll be a week!

i really hope yall have fun with this :)

some polls that were inspo <3 : @obscurecharactershowdown @character-of-all-time @hauntthenarrative those r whats coming to mind rn there are others i swear

[fictional-detective-tournament]

Fictional Detective Tournament!

Rules:

Please only submit characters through the attached form.

The submission deadline is October 22nd.

As the name suggests, no real people. If you have an ambiguous where it’s someone playing a character in a roleplay, feel free to explain how they count as a fictional character and not as the real person playing them and I will consider it.

I will accept different versions of Sherlock Holmes on top of regular Sherlock Holmes as long as they’re intended to be different from regular Sherlock Holmes. (Ie Fate/Grand Order Sherlock Holmes, Moriarty the Patriot Sherlock Holmes, etc.)

I am aware that this tournament has been done before. I do not mean to disrespect anyone who has run this tournament before. I simply would like to run one myself because I love detectives and want to spotlight some of the lesser known ones that I love, as well as ones that are submitted.

Please do not submit characters from media where an author who is openly problematic is still alive and actively profiting off of the work. (Harry Potter, Rurouni Kenshin, etc.) This is my first time trying this, so I don’t have a banlist prepared, hence the broadness. I will look over characters after submission and if I feel that a piece of media could fall under this, I will ask for further opinions.

I will also take characters who aren’t explicitly referred to as detectives if they spend a lot of time in the media they’re from investigating and or trying to solve a mystery. There will a section in the form for justifications and explanations if necessary.

Characters based on real people are allowed as long as they aren’t meant to actually be the real person they represent.

No OCs. Otherwise I would be tempted to include my *7* detective OCs. But feel free to tell me about your detective OCs in the asks and maybe I’ll run that sometime.

Please denote if the character you want me to accept is from an 18+ source. I will accept them if there are SFW pictures of them, I would just like to know so that I can be careful when searching and can tag the polls with them accordingly.

Characters auto accepted because they are the host’s blorbos: Lord El Melloi II/Waver Velvet, All the detectives from the ADA from Bungo Stray Dogs plus Yukito Ayatsuji from Bungo Stray Dogs Another, the main quintent from Tantei Gakuen Q, Lady Love Dies from Paradise Killer, Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa from Detective Conan, and the main characters of The Swifts: A Dictionary of Scoundrels (Please read this book.) However, I will accept propaganda for these characters! If I don’t get any, I will write some myself, but I appreciate hearing other people gush about characters I love.

Please be respectful of everyone involved. People being rude in the tags will be blocked.

The form is here!:

About the Host!

I’m Zero! My main blog is at @zero-on-the-clocktower . I’m 19 and use any pronouns. I love detectives and mysteries in general and am happy to give you recommendations if you’d like.

WELCOME TO HELLVERSE SHIP BRACKET!

Before you submit your ships, please follow these guidelines.

Be polite and respectful, I know this fandom can get HEATED over ships. Keep in mind a lot of people like different ships for different reasons and often don't reflect our real world values.

That being said, incestuous ships and ships containing underage characters are STRICTLY not allowed! They will be deleted on sight if you try. This also means I won't accept any ships with Octavia Goetia.

Ships do not have to comply with a canon character's sexuality, the term "crack ship" exists for a reason, they're meant to be ridiculous and impossible if not highly unlikely. Ships containing objects are also allowed so yes, you can submit Alastor x Jambalaya and Angel x The Kitchen Sink if you so please

Crossover ships outside of Hazbin x Helluva crossovers are not allowed. So you can submit Moxxie x Angel Dust but ships like Charlie x Doomslayer are not allowed, sorry.

No OCS either or self shipping, even if you all have my support

Polyships are also allowed, but I will ask you provide a ship name so I don't have to go character x character x character x character-

Headcanon a character as AroAce? No problem I will gladly accept Alastor x No One or any other characters in a similar manner like that.

You can submit as many ships as you like!! But please don't submit the same ship over and over

With that said have fun, I'll try to include as many as I can. (@tournament-announcer)

SUBMIT YOUR SHIPS HERE.

Hiii! Right now, there is this huuuge debate within the LGBT community as to whether not wanting to date trans folks is transphobic. I'm bi, so pre/post-op is not an issue for me because I like all kinds of genitals, but I'm wondering how the attraction works in this regard for cis monosexual people (gays, lesbians, straights).

Could you make a poll asking, "Would you date a pre-op trans person?" with the options "No, I want my partner to have particular stuff down there", "Yes, but I wouldn't want to interact with their genitals", "Yes, I'm into all kinds of genitals, what matters is how someone identifies", and additional options: cis straight guy / cis gay guy / cis straight woman / cis lesbian. I sent this idea to other poll blogs, but they refused to publish it :((

This topic is quite controversial and can be triggering to some people. We want our blog to be an inclusive space, so we'll let our followers decide.

Feel free to make suggestions / expand on your answer in the comments!

[dndadspolls]

for future polls maybe fav gender/sexuality headcanon if thats not too niche a thing?

yeah sounds fun , I don't think it's too niche at all ! it's been added to the list !

[swarm-of-polls-in-a-trench-coat]

a poll for cis people: does it make you uncomfortable to be misgendered (either online or in person)

i know the see results bar will be biggest cuz this is tumblr

(Sorry if these aren't the options you wanted, I had to guess because you didn't include options in the ask)

Submissions Open!

Tumblr's Most Divorced Man Tournament

Submissions will close Monday, March 18 at 12:00 PM (EST)

You can submit multiple characters, but please only submit each character once.

[fairytale-poll]

Welcome to the Best/Worst Modern Fairytale Adaptation Tournament!

We've done best Red Riding Hood, we've done best Cinderella, and we've done best Little Mermaid! As voted by you guys, we'll be switching gears a bit and doing Best/Worst Modern Fairytale Adaptations! This will be two simultaneous tournaments to see what is the best modern fairytale adaptation and what is the worst!

If you are confused on what qualifies as "Modern Fairytale Adaptation", please read the following:

By "modern fairytale adaptation" I mean an adaptation of a fairytale that takes place in the modern day.

I will be a little loose with what I mean by "modern day". "Modern" will be defined as taking place around the same time as when it was published. (Ex. "Splash!" is an adaptation of the Little Mermaid that was created in the 1980s, so it taking place in the 1980s works for "modern day".) The earliest I will accept something taking place is the 1950s, anything earlier than that I will not count as modern.

If the modern fairytale adaptation has some magic / a little bit of fantasy in it, it can still counts just as long as the world it takes place in can be reasonable compared to being our modern day world. (Ex. "Ponyo" has a lot of magical elements with the titular Ponyo being a magical being from the sea and her mother being the Queen of the Ocean and her father a magician, but the world she sees on the surface is very clearly our world, so it counts.)

No futuristic settings. (Ex. Something like "The Lunar Chronicles" series by Marissa Meyer, for example, which takes place in a Sci-Fi dystopia will not count.)

Some other rules to read before submitting:

Submit a modern fairytale adaptation to the best or worst brackets. There will be two separate forms for each, so make sure you fill out the right one!

Submit as many pieces of media as you want, but don't submit the same thing more than once to an individual form. You can submit the same piece of media to both forms, if your heart truly desires. (Ex. You can't submit "A Cinderella Story" more than once to the best bracket, but if you think it's simultaneously the best and worst you can submit it once to both brackets.)

This tournament will be for pieces of media, not individual characters. Thus far we have only done character polls to this blog, but don't let that confuse you. (Ex. Submitting "Sam Montgomery" would not be accepted, but if you submit "A Cinderella Story", that will be accepted.)

Make sure you submit a substantial piece of media, such as a movie, TV show, book, short story, comic book, etc. Things like a comic strip, a meme, or a fanfic will not be accepted. Additionally, smaller pieces of media such as someone's OC story will not be accepted. (There might not be enough public info for someone to vote on & it might not be fair to put someone's OC story against a big name like Ghibli or Disney.)

Do not submit anthologies. If there is a series you want to submit that is a collection of different fairytale retellings, like a TV show where every episode is a different story, that is not allowed. Feel free to submit an individual episode where there is only one complete story, though.

Submit something based on a specific fairytale(s), not something that just happens to have a fairytale vibe.

This will be either a 32 or 64 bracket for both. I would ideally like the best and worst brackets to both be the same size (i.e. either both 32 or both 64), but if one is smaller than the other, so be it. I'm going to cap each bracket at 64, as doing any more would be a lot to manage since there already are two brackets.

Submissions will be open either until they reach the cap or for a full week (closing on Friday, June 14th.) Whichever comes first.

And that's it for rules! Remember as always to be kind and respectful to others. This is bracket is supposed to be fun so please have fun with it! ✨❤️
