Just one day left until the end of the submission period! I’ll be closing the form at 11:59PM CST on 7/1, so if you haven’t put your fucking guys in put them in!

White Haired Anime Boy Submission Rules

This isn't restricted to just anime! Characters from other media are also allowed as long as they are drawn in an anime style or just have anime energy. (ex. Utatane Piko from Vocaloid, Guzma from Pokemon, etc.)

Character's hair must be predominantly white, but characters with streaks/highlights/etc that are different colors are allowed!

NO BLONDES!!! ONLY WHITE HAIR!!!

But if their hair is white in certain circumstances, they still count. (ex. characters with other forms, lighting looking weird, changes in adaptations, etc.)

White haired anime men qualify too!

Submit the character's name and game/anime/show/social experiment/etc that they're from in the same message if you're using the submission box.

Otherwise, please send submissions here in the Google Form. Thank you! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf9oSscdFq3iEyHR6I4O5npDPxhYJqZjKdLUIJE7FIpMveD3w/viewform

Tagging to spread the word around!

Info for how the brackets work:

So since there's been a lot more attention on this current competetion then the last, I thought I'd share some of my process on how the brackets get formed so y'all can understand how it works more!

Who gets put in the brackets?

Basically everyone who gets submitted at this point! I'm still starting out on here and I don't have a ton of traction yet, so every character submitted has been put in the bracket. Right now I've been doing 16-competitors brackets, so I basically take everyone's submissions and then add my own if I need more. The green flag bracket had the most amount of submissions so far (39) with 12 characters nominated. I added another 4 based on my personal choices to complete the bracket and that's how you got what we have now.

Why is X character against Y character?

The pairings for the bracket are about 80% randomized. The remaining 20% is my interference, which, in order to make the competition more interesting, is avoiding putting the real heavy hitters against each other in the first round. For this bracket (and those going forward), the "heavy hitters" were basically the characters I got the most repeated submissions for earlier. Like I said, I had 39 submissions with only 12 characters, many characters were submitted by multiple people. I took the ones with the most submissions and adjusted it so that they weren't going to face each other till later rounds. Maybe in the future I will adjust this policy but for now just keep in mind that the match ups are largely randomized.

Isn't this just a popularity contest?

I mean... yeah? Unfortunately that's how these bracket competitions seem to work and I'm not sure if there's any way to combat that. My best advice is to use as much campaigning and propaganda as you want for your desired canadite (also reblogging the poll if your follower base tends to have similar opinions on the shows can be advantageous to you ;).) I also think in future brackets I'll add the reasons people give for submitting their character to the posts to hopefully even the odds a little.

Also just some general info, I'm trying my best to be neutral as possible with these! I don't vote in the polls (originally because the very first round I ever did didn't have a lot of votes and I didn't want to sway any of them. Now it's just a fun little game of self restraint) so I'm not trying to get yall to vote for a specific character. I also haven't watched every single drama that is a part of these competitions so pls don't get too upset at a character being included that you think is inaccurate! There is a very real possibility that they were just a user submission I added! I don't want to stay which dramas I have or haven't watched (again I don't want to sway anything) so please don't ask me or interrogate me on why a character is a part of the poll! Like I said before, it's primarily user submissions and only a few are added by me, but I would really rather not say which are which (except maybe after a bracket has been completed!)

Anyways! This is just a reminder that this is all in good fun! The most popular bl is not necessarily the best bl, nor is the bl you find most enjoyable always the best bl either! It can be fun to argue and debate over fictional characters but please stay kind and remember to keep fun at the forefront!
