FRIENDS TO LOVERS TOURNAMENT BRACKET

thank you all for your patience! here's our updated bracket:

(the typed-out list of match-ups can be found under the cut)

sorry if your ship didn't make it in btw. we made our selections based on number of submissions + strength of propaganda and these were the ones that made the cut

a reminder of the rules because we want this tournament to be a fun & safe space for everyone:

be respectful to the other voters and to us mods. supporting your fave(s) is encouraged, but we will NOT tolerate any hate towards other ships. anything from "wreck those twinks" to slurs and hate speech will get you blocked IMMEDIATELY, no questions asked or chances given. if you have nothing nice to say to/about your opponent then literally don't say anything at all; just vote and scream for your blorbos then MOVE ON. there are better things to do than being toxic about some pixels online.

a ship being canon does not make it "superior" and a ship not being canon does not make it "inferior". comments like "XX ship is canon therefore it's better than YY ship" will also get you blocked immediately. we let headcannoned ships in so more people can indulge in silly blorbo fun, don't ruin it.

propaganda is encouraged! preferably do it in the text of a reblog of the relevant poll, but sending it via an ask is also an option

-mod deli 🎀

4. also propaganda in the form of fanart, fics, and memes are also encouraged! (just specifying this to make it clear)

[starberry-cupcake]

I was tagged by @lady-harrowhark ♥ in a tag meme game, answers below the cut 👀

Three ships: I don’t even know how to tackle this lol I know kids these days use the word ship in ways I don’t get, but I’ll go with my understanding. I’ll do a historic ship, a hall of fame ship from last year and the one most read in my ao3 history currently. 

So, for historic ship I’d say Royai, but I have come to accept that I do ship them as a qp relationship, not romantically. I think they are probably in the top 5 of the most well developed qp relationships I’ve ever read (unintentionally probably idk), but I only noticed the importance of that once I lifted the fandom veil of “every ship that isn’t canonically romantic and sexual is lacking it and fandom has to fill that void”. 

For a hall of fame from last year, I’d give props to Lilly Fortenberry and Candace Powell from Astrid and Lilly Save the World. The nerdy fat girl and the popular girl with a strict upbringing who used to be friends as kids and something happened that made them drift apart but turns out they’re in love with each other, love to see it. Hope they get another season. 

And my most read currently in ao3 is probably superbat but that also counts as a historic one too. I also don’t care about what kind of relationship they’re in, I’ve always liked their dynamic, so it’s a delight whatever the case. 

First ever ship: It’s probably a toss up from shows I watched as a little kid, Rogue and Gambit from Saban’s X-Men was probably one of the firsts when I was in primary school. 

Last song: I am learning how to play One Summer’s Day by Joe Hisaishi (the Chihiro song) in kalimba, so that’s the last I heard. Normally I look for several versions on the instrument and listen to the original and make my own tabs from all of that (I’m using 4 different versions for this one, but one is in a different kalimba with a different amount of keys than mine). I had stopped playing after my cat passed away because she used to be with me when I did and I miss her terribly, but I picked it back up finally this week. 

Last movie: So, in the last 4 days I watched Strange World, Glass Onion, the latest Prince of Tennis movie (Ryoma! The Prince of Tennis I think it’s called, we watched both versions) and the Cherry Magic movie. I’m catching up with the fun ones before awards season is upon us.

Currently reading: I finished the 2nd AriDante book and I’m going to pick back up friend recommendations, so I’ll continue with Wayward Children (recommended by @bewareofitalics first and then Locked Tomb recommended by the lovely Emily who tagged me on this). I’m also reading a bunch of non fiction books, depends on my mood what I pick that day. 

Currently watching: Blue Lock, Yowamushi Pedal (the latest season) and we just finished His Dark Materials season 3. A lot of eclectic youtube stuff. 

Currently consuming: as in food? nothing atm. I have to start preparing the rosca de reyes tomorrow, to finish it on the 6th, though. Tomorrow I’m in pastry cream and sugar confections duty. 

Currently craving: the Eliza McFee doll is the first thing that comes to mind, she looks very adorable and I collect fairies. 

Tagging: whoever wants to do this, consider yourselves tagged by me and post it! because most time the people I tag aren’t in the mood and the people I forget to tag would like to do it, I have terrible aim in tags. 

[runfreelyactwildly]

here's my top three if you even care

1. RENGA. Nothing can compare. They absolutely shatter my heart.

2. ARIDANTE. they hit on a personal level no one will understand. plus this is my favorite book ever. spoiler alert! i have not picked up the sequel in exactly two months because of their fucking breakup (it hurt me that bad) (i don't know when i'll continue reading it) (or maybe the they mean so much to me i don't want their story to end at all)

3. LANDER. close contender. Can you believe i would think about them so much that when i was out at the beach with my friends i sat on the sand the entire time because i could not comprehend they were real

FUCK BY THE WAY! I WAS WRONG ACTUALLY EVEN THOUGH I CHERISH RENGA SO MUCH I ACTUALLY READ THE MOST FICS ON LANDER. U DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT THEY HAD ON ME IN 2020 I WAS LANDERPILLED THE FUCK OUTTTTT 36 HOUR SCREENTIME ON WATTPAD FOHWTS

I READ SO MUCH LANDER THAT BEFORE SAID BEACH OUTING I SCREENSHOTTED PAGES OF THE FIC I WAS READING SO I COULD READ IT IN THE CAR OTW THERE.

a ship only truly breaks the surface when i care about them enough to read fics about them

Eras of my life separated based on every new homosexual ship that ruins my life

When Taylor Swift said "My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand" and when Benjamin Alire Sáenz said "I bet you could sometimes find all the mysteries of the universe in someone's hand" and when Arthur Conan Doyle said "Yet now in an hour of trouble our hands instinctively sought for each other" and when The Mountain Goats said "You are coming down with me, hand in unlovable hand" and when Madeline Miller said "As if he had heard me, he reached for my hand. I did not need to look; his fingers were etched into my memory, slender and petal-veined, strong and quick and never wrong" and when Florence Welsh said "I know I seem shaky, these hands not fit for holding" and when Shakespeare said "Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hands too much, which mannerly devotion shows in this, for saints have hands that pilgrim's hands do touch, and palm to palm is holy palmer's kiss" and when Casey McQuiston said "...the phantom touch of your hand on the back of my neck, fresh and not imagined" and when Mackenzi Lee said "I am possessed by the insanity the poets hath called love, and it makes me want to reach forward and take both those hands in mine"

Wow, a world without darkness.

How beautiful was that?

[friends-to-lovers-tournament]

Friends to Lovers Tournament: Round 1, Side B, Match 24

we made an error with ikusoren's ship name in the original poll so we deleted that one and are reposting this one. so if you see the original one floating around in a reblog, the results there don't count

propaganda under the cut!

Aridante:

Dante teaches Ari how to swim and they become best friends in the span of a summer. Ari jumps in front of a car to keep Dante safe. They are incredibly supportive of each other through everything. They get each other in a way few other people get them, and it's wonderful to experience. 

Ikesoren:

The EPIC TRAUMA AND ANGST. The life long spanning importance. The sheer unhealthy -> healthy co-dependence. Greek tragedy wishes it could be this melodramatic but somehow genuinely, achingly moving. 

It's the good old fashioned not just Friends -> Lovers, but Childhood Friends -> Lovers. The most mangy sad little anime lad incapable of speech found on the brink of starvation by another child. A kind child who showed up like a guardian angle straight out of the blue then WHAM! He's gone again. The next day? Their shared town has been destroyed, slaughtered. (It was the kind kids dad via tragic chaos magic but we don't have time to unpack all that.) 

But does the starving kid, who's learned what a little ounce of humanity, of kindness looks like, do they give up? Hell no. They search the bodies. (At this point please remember they are like 6) and see the boy who treated them like a human isn't there. They SEARCH for years. They learn to speak, they travel to a northern country on the trail, and at last... they find him. And... he doesn't remember their meeting. (He doesn't remember his Dad going nuts either. Can I get a hand for intentionally induced magical amnesia? It was probably the right call.) None the less, they spend the rest of their childhood growing up together hand in intensely neurodiverse hand.

THAT is the first bit. THAT is a paragraph in the bigger story. Holy SHIT is there ever a bigger story. Love story. For. The. Ages. DAMN these boys can whump, can subtext, can angst AND hurt comfort. Look at them go. They. <3
