THE HOT MEDIEVAL & FANTASY MEN MELEE

FIRST ROUND: 68th Tilt

Rodrigo Borgia, The Borgias (2011-2013) VS. Lord Tywin Lannister, Game of Thrones (2011-2019)

Propaganda

Rodrigo Borgia, The Borgias (2011-2013) Portrayed by: Jeremy Irons Defeated Opponents: - Jacques le Gris [Adam Driver], The Last Duel (2021)

“Look, what is sexier than a man who purrs sexily and knows canon law? Okay, so maybe that's just me. But that smooth, seductive voice full of terrible, brilliant ideas...! And the way he runs his hands up his lover's calves, the hunger with which he looks at her, the way he uses his religious authority (and knowledge of canon law) to make an argument for why they should totally have sex despite the fact that she's on her period? Hot. The way he says (while caressing a statue suggestively) that perhaps they could worship as the ancients did -- with joy? Hot. The way he welcomes an invading army clad only in a penitent's robe? Ohhhhhh this over-dramatic OTT bastard, I love him so much.”

Lord Tywin Lannister, Game of Thrones (2011-2019) Portrayed by: Charles Dance Defeated Opponents: - King Henry VIII [Ray Winstone], Henry VIII (2003)

“Well, to quote my best friend: “he just makes my inner peasant want to kneel.” He commands every room he’s in through sheer force of will, is one of very few people in Westeros who makes a good ruler (which is different than a good man), and Charles Dance is of the generation of English actors who have Those Cheekbones”

Additional Propaganda

For Rodrigo Borgia:

"He is a little shit and he dresses swagly and he fucks and we love him for it.”

For Tywin Lannister:

“Have you ever seen a man so powerful that you give up your own willpower to follow him into death? Here is that man. Once glance from his steely gaze will set you on fire and get you pregnant even if you don't have a uterus. Good luck”

“Oof… Just look at him… Tall, regal, with piercing eyes, a commanding presence, and an equally commanding voice.”

QL of All Time - Round 1: Old Fashion Cupcake (2022) vs We Are (2024)

[badass-queer-couples-battle]

Gay wrongs tournament, round one of the major bracket

Propaganda:

For the Doctor and the Master:

Immortal genderfluid war criminals <333

So we all know the Master has killed plenty of people, but, despite their reputation, the Doctor has killed a more than average number too. Sure they undid the whole destroying their own planet thing, but that's still something the Doctor did. Also there's apparently a novelization out there where, when they were children, the Doctor killed one of their childhood bullies but then made a deal with Death so that the Master had the memory of it and became Death's champion, which is pretty messed up and murder husbandish. There are plenty more war crimes on the Doctor's hands, and the Master has killed countless people in a variety of creative ways. Also, I'm having trouble finding the quote, but I swear the Master once said something to the lines of "trying to kill the Doctor is just my flirting" or something similar. But I do know Missy (also the Master but female at the time) described their relationship as "older than your civilization and infinitely more complex". They love each other, they're constantly trying to destroy each other, they are the only friends they each have who can even begin to understand everything they've been through; they've known each other since childhood and they've watched (and helped) civilizations rise and fall together. They may not be who you first think of for murder spouses but they really are a beautiful example.

For Joe and Nicky:

Immortal mercenaries they first met when fighting on opposite sides of the crusades. They killed eachother many times but came to understand eachother as the years passed. Eventually they fell in love and have been inseparable since. They live, love, fight and die together and have done so for hundreds and hundreds of years.

That is your pfp, dear pollrunner, and yet they don't have an automatic submission??? For shame! :D :D :D (Mod note: Honestly they should have :D They're no longer the pfp, though)

They definitely commit crimes, including murder. Their goodness or badness "depends on the century." There is an exchange in the comics about what crime they'll commit that night (they end up dancing gayly in a place where that's illegal but that wasn't the crime they originally planned on)

AU Sonic Smackdown - Round 1, Left Side

Bound by Fate AU belongs to @midnightshard06

Old Man Sonic AU belongs to @wereh0gz

Read more about them under the cut!

Bound by Fate-

Sonic in this au is born as a werehog, but really has no idea why. He just rolls with it, but this does limit his friendship potential. As such he's kind of a loner, not that he acts like it. He's rather outgoing, and can talk to anyone really. Definitely leans on the sassy side, particularly with people he's comfortable with. Though he finds it hard to trust people due to bad experiences when in his werehog form. A lot of people don't take kindly to him at night so he tries to stay away from people as best he can while transformed, and he doesn't like to stick in one place for too long. At some point he meets Tails and the two mutually help each other out (Tails saving him from a group of hunters that were trying to kill him and Sonic helping Tails gain a better reputation in the town he lives in). The two are close even if Sonic isn't always around. Eventually Sonic and Knuckles run into each other, Knuckles trying to take out Sonic due to a misunderstanding. Though the two end up bound together through prophecy shenanigans and have to save the world as a team.

Sonic's abilities are pretty standard fair. Sonic during the day has the super speed and all the stuff to come with it. Though he is a bit physically stronger since some of his werehog strength tends to leak over. At night it's mostly standard werehog stuff with the exception of the stretchy arms. He can however sense nearby dark gaia monsters and gaia temples, and him and Knuckle's bond let them know were each other are at all times.

Old Man Sonic-

It's the Sonic we all know and love! ... Except he's long overdue for retirement.

He's gained the "gift" of immortality thanks to the large amounts of Chaos Energy, Dark Gaia Energy, and other godly energies he's absorbed over the years. You could say he's something of a demigod now, capable of running at extreme speeds (of course), commanding the winds, and even turning himself into a beast!

Now at the ripe old age of 215 and heavily scarred in more ways than one, he wanders the world fighting off evildoers and stopping world-ending calamities just as he did in his youth. He's not alone, though, as he has help from Tails, Shadow, and even Silver on occasion. He may not be as spry as he used to be, but he'd never allow his world to fall into the wrong hands, even if it means pushing himself far beyond mortal limits and dying time and time again. It's not like death is permanent for him, anyway.

While Sonic still retains the title of "hero of Mobius", he doesn't interact much with the public anymore. In fact, he's seen as more of a myth now, and almost the entire world (except for Tails, Shadow, and Eggman Nega) thinks he died from natural causes long ago. He tries his best to keep his identity and immortality secret, going by different names on the off chance he runs into someone.

Unfortunately, the worst possible person who could know about his secret is already well aware of it, and is always hunting him down to capture him and see what makes him tick...

Granny Puckett

if hoodwinked wasnt so obscure i truly think she would be a tumblr icon. she has a baking imperium she does extreme sports she saved red riding hood and the forest by blowing shit up. defeats capitalism.

voiced by glenn close

Granny Weatherwax

She's good but not nice, she's a witch, in the maiden/mother/crone trio she's the crone, she's powerful and intelligent (although not booksmart), she's an inspiration and a terror to everyone in Discworld.

The Hag ‘o Hags, she is the leader of her small coven in Lancre holding the role of “crone”.

She’s saved the world many times, with tea and bees and other haggish delights.
