Geoffrey Landgraab for @simblorbo-bracket Saddest Wettest Meow Meow

Name: Geoffrey Landgraab (maiden name Osteer (lmfao))

Age: (currently 50 (Adult) in Missing Moments / 33 in The Art of Being Seen (Young Adult) )

What makes Geoffrey a Sad, Wet Meow Meow? What’s more pathetic: marrying the girl of your dreams just for her to turn you into the biggest cuck in the tristate area or slowly gaining consciousness but still pretending you don’t see it because what’s wrong with a little sobbing into your wine glass over your cheating wife’s affair? Geoffrey’s sweet, sensitive nature has paved way for him to be a meek, spineless fluff of a man that will stand outside on the front porch with bated breath for the return of his wife after she plows yet another woman into the mattress under the guise of running a multimillion dollar company (it’s both).

This is the same man who look his own sons in the eyes and know they deserve better but will quietly beg for it from across the room because communication is scary when your wife has walls as thick as the mascara that runs down your face. And just when you start to have an ounce of faith; you’re reminded this is the man who saw with his own four eyes actual hickies on the inside of his wife thighs and chooses to do- well. NOTHING. 😀 Because if you never acknowledge your cheating wife’s passionate affair, did it actually happen? 😏

Simblr's Saddest, Wettest Meow Meow

(this post will be edited as needed throughout the tournament)

Welcome to the Simblr's Saddest, Wettest Meow Meow bracket!

We are currently in round: Submissions! (OPEN)

About/Rules under the cut (please read!)

This blog and bracket are both being run by @ssspringroll (aka @exculis)

You can also send in propaganda for other people's sims, as long as its positive! No negative propaganda!

Feel free to send it in through the ask box, or however else you'd like

What is a simblr?

A Sims Tumblr. We blog about sims. You don't need to have a blog dedicated to sims in order to enter or participate. If you just like voting on things, you don't even need to know what a sim is! All are welcome to vote as they please.

What is a 'Meow Meow'?

(taken from tumblr user @/torturelabyrinth) "The thing about a true poor little meow meow is they have to be 1) downtrodden 2) morally questionable at best 3) deeply and pathetically miserable"

A Meow Meow is a character who you can't quite help but feel sorry for, despite all of the atrocities they have committed. For the purposes of our bracket, these 'atrocities' could range from being a bit of a nuisance, all the way up to murder and beyond. Whatever it is your Meow Meow has done that you believe makes them qualified for the title.

Bracket??

This is a tournament-style competition (for fun!)

There will be multiple rounds, in each round two competitors will fight for votes in a tumblr poll lasting 1 week. The winners of each poll will move on to the next round, fighting another foe in the same sort of battle.

Depending on the number of entries the tourney may be short or quite long. If the number is on the lower side, there may be a loser's bracket, wherein the losers of each poll will have a chance to redeem themselves, and fight their way back to a chance at the crown.

This is NOT a popularity contest.

While no one can control how you vote except you, you are encouraged not to just vote for the simmer you like more or to only vote for your friends. Instead, try to vote with your heart. Maybe you'll discover a new favorite?

NO Negativity

We are here to celebrate everyone's meow meows, not to put anyone down for any reason. This includes yourself. It will not be tolerated. No guilt trips, self-deprecation, or negative propaganda. Let's all be chill and be friends, okay?

Saxen for @simblorbo-bracket 's Saddest Wettest Meow Meow Bracket

You're probably most familiar with Sax as the Sim who's often used in my pose previews, but he does in fact have a whole life as the saddest and wettest little meow meow in my modern fantasy story over on IG. In fact I was first introduced to the SWMM concept because @nefaricussims referred to him as such in a comment. 😆

He's an original creation, based on a character in a novel I started writing 15 years ago and never had the guts to finish. In the Sims story version, he's a vampire mage.

Things Sax does extremely well: fainting and bleeding (separately), fainting and bleeding (combination), rotting in bed, crying or being completely stoic (no in between), causing more problems while trying to fix his previous problems, omitting certain truths (aka lying).

Now, I don't know if he really counts as an SWMM because he's not a classic villain... but in his pursuit of Doing The Right Thing he has made some awful choices. Good intentions, poor outcomes.

I present the evidence beneath the cut:

Some of his crimes:

In an attempt to save his sister, he left his post and facilitated the escape of a world-devouring entity which he was supposed to help contain.

After his sister died he made another attempt to save her, via necromancy, and instead doomed her to an endless cycle of death and rebirth. Until recently, none of her reincarnations were healthy enough to survive infancy.

He befriended the parents of this latest incarnation without filling them in on the backstory, or his motives. After they were killed by his enemy, he took the baby and kept her hidden for 11 years (did she have grandparents, uncles, aunts? Yes, probably. He claims they couldn't have cared for her like he did and technicallyyyy he's right, since her survival required magic, but...)

He broke the arm of one of his 'adopted' adult kids (he has an enchanted cottage which has been a refuge for a lot of people) when said adult tried to prevent him from killing someone else. Yes, technically he did only push Thom and didn't intend for Thom to hit the wall so hard, but...

Long story short but his home world didn't end, it was just knocked out of its timeline for a while. Unfortunately, due to his actions on the day the Grim escaped (attacking portal guards and forcing his way through the rift, just as an unrelated-to-him group stormed the castle), he was a) assumed dead and b) immediately arrested on his return for treason and attempted regicide.

He's a constant menace and cause of stress to his man, the kindest and sweetest soul to ever live. He doesn't mean to be, it's just that his attempts to keep Fen safe often seem to involve risking himself in increasingly creative and fatal ways.

Why should you vote for Sax? Well, I think his endless complex trauma and the fact that almost all his misfortunes happened because he was trying to fix things/help people makes him pretty damn tragic and definitely very damp. He could do with a win. Plus... look at him. 🥲

Simblorbo Submission: Andre St. Fleur for Saddest, Wettest Meow Meow (@simblorbo-bracket)

Name: Andre St. Fleur

Age: 55 (Adult life stage, nearly Elder)

What makes him a Sad, Wet Meow Meow? Born to royalty but completely temperamentally unsuited for it, Andre is pathetic and sad and weak-willed and a big, giant loser. He's the king of a small and unimportant country, and he simply cannot parent effectively or stop cheating on his wife. Finally forced to decide between his mistress and his wife of nearly 30 years, he became so paralyzed with indecision that he developed a terminal illness instead, saving him from ever having to make up his mind about anything.

He is an original character, and one of the leads (for now!) of my story.

Additional propaganda below the cut.

Just some additional pictures of Andre moping, crying, and letting his loved ones down </3

I think my boy has the potential to go far, but even if he gets knocked out in the first round...what could be sadder, wetter, or more pathetic than getting immediately eliminated from the "most pathetic" tournament?

[simblorbo-bracket]

One of the wettest submissions so far! 3 whole meow meows! Our bracket is filling out quickly!

saddest, wettest blorbos.

@simblorbo-bracket

Blorbo 1: Hadvar Hammersmith

What makes them a Sad, Wet Meow Meow? He's just a little guy. Just trying to get famous and enjoy his life. He's trying so hard. He's also terrified of his mother's disapproval so he avoided her for about a year. Also he tried to get rid of his Stan by telling her that he'd give her his number if she stopped showing up at his house. He gave her the number for a local hospital.

Whether they are an original creation, premade, recreation of a fictional character from other media, or EA premade makeover.

(Optional) Additional propaganda! Hadvar is literally out here just trying to become a movie star. Sure, he's like. Kind of neurotic and definitely will end up biting people when he's overstimulated, but look at him :'( sad. Wet. Like a sopping plushie full of milk.

Blorbo 2: Edeliene Moore

What makes them a Sad, Wet Meow Meow? She has never done a SINGLE thing wrong in her life. Like yeah she slept with Layne Coffin but she didn't know he was taken. And. Yeah she started dating his step son but it's fine. She's Morbid but she's a sensitive lil guy. Very soft heart. Just wants to be loved by someone. And she is, now! <3

Whether they are an original creation, premade, recreation of a fictional character from other media, or EA premade makeover.

(Optional) Additional propaganda! She has never drank from a sim without their permission, not even once. She carries plasma packs around like they're juice boxes. She's truly a little sack of tears and her pet crow (who is also her "deceased" fiance and she doesn't know that) is her best friend. Nyon is also her best friend. It's getting weird. Also Layne slept with her because she wished for love at the well. Bless her.

Blorbo 3: Nyon Specter

What makes them a Sad, Wet Meow Meow? Doesn't know his dad, grimborn, mom keeps deleting pool ladders, in an almost doomed timeline :( but he's so nice to his lil girlfriend. He's like the mold for sad little guys. Look he's literally caught fire :'(

Whether they are an original creation, premade, recreation of a fictional character from other media, or EA premade makeover.

(Optional) Additional propaganda! He really saw the cute vampire girl his step dad was shagging and decided he wants to marry her. Come on. Sad wet little guy. He's seen so much misfortune and death. Poor baby. He also throws up a lot and I'm not 100% sure why.

[zinzinina]

Congrats on the followers!

If I was an animal I think I’d like to be a crocodile, they are just so chill hanging out in the water but if you piss them off you’re in trouble. I also think the mamas carrying the babies is so cute 🥺

Night out: get fancy drinks and dessert at an expensive restaurant then walk down the beach watching the sun set and the stars come out

In: build a blanket fort in the living room and get tons of snacks and watch terrible Movies and make fun of then al la mystery science theater 3000 style

3 qualities for a partner: witty, loyal, a boy-scout Clark Kent kinda person

Song: my type by saint motel

My hell: going to a party where I only know my date and they leave my to go chat with other people or never introduce me to anyone

I prefer guys, and I have no real dislikes but I do like good guys 😁

Hi! Great news, we have a match!

Your date’s wit can occasionally border on sarcastic or acerbic, but let there be no doubt about his inherent goodness. Obi-Wan is the type of man who inspires the people around him to be better just by virtue of his own devotion to serving others. It can be frustrating at times being with someone who applies his own stringent level of altruism to his partner, but that boyish smile underscoring his few greys means it’s hard to stay annoyed with him for long. 

For your date together, I’m happy to report that you and Obi-Wan share similar tastes! He’s accustomed to the brightness and immaculacy of the Core; even by Jedi standards, he’s fastidious. So you’re headed out for a classic evening of beautiful food in the sparkling Upper Levels; six courses, champagne, no expenses spared. He’s going to want to take in every single word you say, bright blue eyes creasing with affection. Then, because he’s a romantic at heart, a stroll under the glowlamps at Monument Plaza; if timed correctly, there may even be live music in the square for you both to enjoy. He’ll want to see you home safe with a chaste kiss on the hand to end your evening together, but if you invited him inside for one last drink, he almost certainly wouldn’t say no. 

Thank you for using Sam’s Star Wars Matchmaking Service™️! SSWMMS is regrettably unable to accomodate any restaurant bills accrued over the course of your date. May the Spires Keep You! x

Nancy Landgraab for @simblorbo-bracket Saddest Wettest Meow Meow

Name: Nancy "Gay Panic" "Crawl" Landgraab

Age: (currently 50 (Adult) in Missing Moments / 33 in The Art of Being Seen (Young Adult) )

What makes Nancy a Sad, Wet Meow Meow? Our famously known townie turned OC is the Queen of Melancholy. She's closeted, she's religiously repressed, she's h*rny, she's rich, she carries the burden of her deceased elder brother, she's the bane of her mother's existence. When she's not internalizing her self loathing, she's gazing longingly into the distance thinking about a life free of her mother's judgement and status that she never wanted in favor of running free through a sunflower field kissing beautiful women. And when she manages to actually show up for her two sons, she's still so emotionally detached that this will very much come up in a therapy session later. Her husband is almost on his knees begging for her to smile but she's still pining after her first love while being married to said husband (who's a second runner up for SWMM tbh).

She's a cheater, she's a liar, she's about to get into some risky, sketchy business, she disappoints her children, she's morally grey, she's a top, she's catholic, she's a cougar, she likes to splurge on dr*gs and strippers, the list goes on. ahhh.

Nancy Landgraab isn't an OC but she is in a backstory I share called The Art of Being Seen.

[simblorbo-bracket]

Certainly a lot of food for thought! Will either of them come out on top in the end? Only time will tell!

Dr. Purity and Rook for @simblorbo-bracket's Saddest Wettest Meow Meow Bracket

Okay, so I absolutely just had to enter these two. Not only are they perfect narrative parallels to each other in our dnd game, they're also extremely pathetic, and in one case a literal war criminal.

Details and extra pictures going under the cut, because this got really long. Uhh... trigger warning for a lot of death, violence, and literal torture.

Details - Dr. Purity

Name: Dr. Purity (alias, real name unknown). Other/past aliases include Dr. Meladria and Sigmar Passeone*. (*: actually a corpse puppet he was controlling and using to befriend Rook.)

Why a SWMM? Where do I start with this man? He's a literal war criminal, personally responsible for the complete destruction of four cities and wiping an entire Fey kingdom off the map. He's a mamma's boy. His family was killed ~300 years ago, and he still has nightmares about it. His daughter was killed when she was a baby (or so he thought). Got called a pussy and a coward and was essentially bullied into becoming a villain. He kinda-sorta runs a cult. Wears lots of jewelry and puts flowers in his hair. He invented a super-serum. Lives in a metal box because he's still a coward. He was captured, tortured, and sold, and forced to work for an evil queen to make monsters. Now he just makes monsters (called Nightwalkers) for fun. He got pathetically attached to Rook, so much so that he ignored his own daughter in favor of him. Has no idea how to talk to people so he read a book with a fictional mentor character and filled every inch of the margins with notes of how to be that person for Rook. He's one of the most powerful people in the world but he held back from killing one of the people who sold him because Rook asked him to. We still don't know his real name.

Origin: He's the BBEG from my longest running Dungeons and Dragons game, which we call Black Desert, after the kingdom where it takes place. He was originally very connected to the party wizard's backstory, but now he has a much, much deeper connection with Rook.

Additional Propaganda: Well, if you want evil people who are sad wet meow-meows, then there is literally no better candidate than this man. He's basically a supervillain, and yet he could not possibly be more pathetic. Just look at his sulky face! He's a literal fucking war criminal, committed actual genocide, and yet... His pathetic manners and lack of social skills have bewitched me.

Details - Rook

Name: Rook (born Adrian Lockwood)

Why a SWMM? I call him my "idiot bastard man", and it's accurate in every sense of those words. Actual literal bastard son of a nobleman. Ran away from home and joined a pirate crew because he was terrified of getting stuck working a dead-end job for the rest of his life (he was 17). Had 6 great years sailing with his captain, who was the first person who was ever nice to him. He even had one (1) real friend!!! But the rest of the crew hated him and thought the captain was showing him favoritism, so he got given a drugged drink during a "birthday celebration" on shore, and given to a rival captain. She kept him and torture him for 2 years until he escaped. He met two good father figures but one of them turned out to be the BBEG (see above), and the other one died 2 days later. The day after that he got kidnapped again. He's been cursed by a demon lord so he has terribly nightmares and barely sleeps. He's convinced that his life has no value, and is self-sacrificial to the point of self-destruction. Keeps telling people who care about him very concerning news (mainly that he died) in really stupid ways. Has died 3 times, and has been pulled back from the brink countless more. Goes down at least once every combat / gets the shit beat out of him constantly. Was reunited with his one (1) friend and she immediately got killed because of his actions. Has no common sense. Extremely impulsive. Got told he was too reckless to be trusted with his own life. Gets bullied by major villains on a regular basis. Has taunted powerful people twice and gotten killed both times. Has no common sense. A capital L Liar, has never told the truth in his life. Hasn't properly buttoned a shirt in ~9 years. Other people knew that his beloved mentor and father figure was actually the BBEG but they didn't tell him. Had to see said mentor figure get brutally "killed" in front of him.

Origin: He's my longest-running Dungeons & Dragons character, and I have literally never been more obsessed with a character in my life. And completely unbeknownst to me I wrote him to be a perfect parallel to the BBEG of the entire campaign. Hence why the DM made said BBEG show up and be Rook's mentor... Fun times!!!

Additional Propaganda: I mean, just look at this shit:

^ that should say "unless", not "in case", I made a typo and didn't realize until later.

[simblorbo-bracket]

Oh my, he's practically DRIPPING! But will he be the wettest of them all?

Cody Graves for Simblr's Saddest, Wettest Meow Meow @simblorbo-bracket

I mean, you can't get as pathetic and meow meow as this man. He's the literal embodiment of a scraggly feral cat. A bisexual disaster who wouldn't hesitate to fight you if you looked at him wrong. He'd live in the middle of woods out of his van while running his paranormal investigation business if he could.

You see this? This is basically him.

Might as well start from the beginning:

Cody wasn't a wanted child but was kept because his parents are religious and might as well have something to keep around as a prop to pretend you're a good family and use him to boost their social status.

One reason his parents hate him, especially his mom, is due to his ability to interact with spirits. As a toddler, he'd act strangely as if he were talking to nothing and reply strangely to his parents when asked about it. He would talk to these spirits fairly often up until about age 4. It creeped his parents out enough that they made him shut up about it and tried to keep any weird creepy stuff away from him in an attempt to make him normal. It didn't work.

He was heavily neglected and abused throughout his childhood and into adulthood due to not being how his parents wanted him to be. He was almost constantly injured either from his own parents or his own accidents. Since he had a lot of his own accidents, his parents blamed any serious injuries they gave him on Cody being clumsy.

Whenever Cody's dressed as he likes, his parents refer to him as a wet rat. Many times of coming home absolutely filthy from exploring abandoned places while looking for ghosts and monsters didn't help this.

He ran away from home multiple times starting at age 13 and ran to another state to live out in a cave he found after he fell down a cliff and broke his arm. It's been his secret spot to run away to ever since. He still goes there as an adult if he wants to disappear for awhile.

He's often very combative, distrustful, hateful towards other people and rarely sees other people as human and just things due to his upbringing. He gets into violent fights often either picking them himself or by others antagonizing him. He sees the paranormal as more 'human' than actual humans and is more comfortable dealing with that vs people.

He has most of his criminal record hidden since his mom has a lot of contacts and she can't let her garbage excuse for a son ruin her image.

His crimes (if they stuck) include: Multiple counts of trespassing, assault and battery, aggravated assault, and disorderly conduct. Though most of the time, he's able to get away from the police on his own to avoid trouble.

Only in recent years being part of the Paranormal Club, he's learned to accept some people as ok and his friends try to help him be better. In his 3 years of friendship with them, he's grown a lot and is a lot less likely to immediately resort to violence (depending).

Due to his unapproachable nature, he's only been in 3 romantic relationships. His first relationship in high school was going ok with some rockiness due to "sexual incompatibility" until he brought her home and his parents drove her away by saying vile things about Cody and treating her like dirt in the most polite way possible. His second was in his first year of college and she also ultimately dumped him due to "sexual incompatibility". Which in both cases was...he got dumped because his dick is too big. Currently, he's engaged to another (probably worse) meow meow, Satoru, the god of karma who he's helplessly attached and devoted to. They're poor, wet meow meows together causing problems~

It's uncertain, but if Satoru got taken away from him to go back to god baby jail, Cody would become infinitely worse. This man would become the most pathetic, horrible mess to get him back. Starting it out with becoming a depressed, sobbing mess that would put Bella Swan to shame. He'd do everything in his power and spend every waking moment searching the world to find him again and abandoning everything else. His conspiracy wall would become overtaken by pictures, drawings, and clues to finding Satoru. He'd keep everything Satoru's collected waiting for him except for the rotting food, but he'd cry before throwing it away. He'd bawl every time he saw a fox and would fight gods to get Satoru back even if it was futile.

And now just a list of ridiculous recent examples and memes:

Threatened and tried to attack a group of men who were making fun of him and Satoru while they were at a restaurant. Would've fought them if Satoru didn't stop him.

Almost died from getting stabbed in the lung with a stiletto by his mother during a campaign event.

Got drunk at a bar and got way too handsy with Satoru on the dance floor then both almost killed a guy for trying to join in. Along with multiple other public acts.

Committed fraud by saying he was his father while renting a hotel room which started a rumor that his father was cheating and made him pay $200 in damages.

Walked into a different fancy hotel, covered in demon blood vomit.

Made out in the rain in a taco bell parking lot.

Got into a situation with a serial killer and injured him a few times while surviving the ordeal.

Was going to murder, torture, and let Satoru eat the girl who got him into the situation with the serial killer and hurt his best friend.

Helped start a cult.

Growled at and threatened a woman who tried flirting with Satoru.

What a sad, wet meow meow indeed!

Simblr’s Saddest, Wettest Meow Meow Bracket Submission

Anthony “Tony” Bronson (he/him)

Young Adult - Human - Original Creation

Tony was created for the purpose of trying out some apocalypse-themed mods. He turned out to be so much more than that.

A Little Background:

Tony is a rugged guy trying to make it work after the end of the world. He lives alone, suspicious of strangers. Before the end, he served in the military. But they quickly abandoned him (and the rest of sim society) after things started to go south. His bunker is located in Evergreen Harbor, where he spends his days searching for old food, junk, fighting off the cold of nuclear winter, and bathing himself in the sink fifteen times in a row because there is nothing else to do in a bunker.

What's Tony Done?:

Tony's done a lot to survive.

He's betrayed his country.

He's abandoned the sim citizens he once swore to protect.

He's even walked away from the one woman he promised to stand beside.

Why Is Tony So Sad?:

There are plenty of reasons why Tony is the way he is.

He'd only joined the army to bond with his stoic, ex-military father, because the only kind of man he'd accept Tony becoming was one like him.

He'd isolated himself, turning away from others, because he couldn't live with the guilt of not being able to help fix the mess he'd unintentionally helped create.

He'd walked away from his ex-fiancee because while he may have ended up like his father, he would be damned before he let the love of his life end up in a marriage like his mother's.

Is Tony Simblr's Saddest, Wettest Meow Meow?:

Thank you for taking the time to read this submission. I'm sure you'll find Tony suitably sad and wet but, if you need any more convincing, here's some extra Tony fun-facts!

Tony's dream is to live on the beach, away from nuclear winter.

In his loneliness, Tony dreamt of a secret admirer that came to whisk him away, and that admirer was Agnes Crumplebottom; so he's canonically into older women.

*Not my CC or Poses!!!*

Nancy Landgraab for @simblorbo-bracket Saddest Wettest Meow Meow

Name: Nancy "Gay Panic" "Crawl" Landgraab

Age: (currently 50 (Adult) in Missing Moments / 33 in The Art of Being Seen (Young Adult) )

What makes Nancy a Sad, Wet Meow Meow? Our famously known townie turned OC is the Queen of Melancholy. She's closeted, she's religiously repressed, she's h*rny, she's rich, she carries the burden of her deceased elder brother, she's the bane of her mother's existence.

Wonderful! Who's the saddest Landgraab of them all? Can't wait to find out!

Geoffrey Landgraab for @simblorbo-bracket Saddest Wettest Meow Meow

Name: Geoffrey Landgraab (maiden name Osteer (lmfao))

Age: (currently 50 (Adult) in Missing Moments / 33 in The Art of Being Seen (Young Adult) )

What makes Geoffrey a Sad, Wet Meow Meow? What’s more pathetic: marrying the girl of your dreams just for her to turn you into the biggest cuck in the tristate area or slowly gaining consciousness but still pretending you don’t see it because what’s wrong with a little sobbing into your wine glass over your cheating wife’s affair? Geoffrey’s sweet, sensitive nature has paved way for him to be a meek, spineless fluff of a man that will stand outside on the front porch with bated breath for the return of his wife after she plows yet another woman into the mattress under the guise of running a multimillion dollar company (it’s both).

This is the same man who look his own sons in the eyes and know they deserve better but will quietly beg for it from across the room because communication is scary when your wife has walls as thick as the mascara that runs down your face. And just when you start to have an ounce of faith; you’re reminded this is the man who saw with his own four eyes actual hickies on the inside of his wife thighs and chooses to do- well. NOTHING. 😀 Because if you never acknowledge your cheating wife’s passionate affair, did it actually happen? 😏

Oh my! It's getting sad and wet in here indeed!

Saxen for @simblorbo-bracket 's Saddest Wettest Meow Meow Bracket

You're probably most familiar with Sax as the Sim who's often used in my pose previews, but he does in fact have a whole life as the saddest and wettest little meow meow in my modern fantasy story over on IG. In fact I was first introduced to the SWMM concept because @nefaricussims referred to him as such in a comment. 😆

He's an original creation, based on a character in a novel I started writing 15 years ago and never had the guts to finish. In the Sims story version, he's a vampire mage.

Things Sax does extremely well: fainting and bleeding (separately), fainting and bleeding (combination), rotting in bed, crying or being completely stoic (no in between), causing more problems while trying to fix his previous problems, omitting certain truths (aka lying).

Now, I don't know if he really counts as an SWMM because he's not a classic villain... but in his pursuit of Doing The Right Thing he has made some awful choices. Good intentions, poor outcomes.

I present the evidence beneath the cut:

Some of his crimes:

In an attempt to save his sister, he left his post and facilitated the escape of a world-devouring entity which he was supposed to help contain.

After his sister died he made another attempt to save her, via necromancy, and instead doomed her to an endless cycle of death and rebirth. Until recently, none of her reincarnations were healthy enough to survive infancy.

He befriended the parents of this latest incarnation without filling them in on the backstory, or his motives. After they were killed by his enemy, he took the baby and kept her hidden for 11 years (did she have grandparents, uncles, aunts? Yes, probably. He claims they couldn't have cared for her like he did and technicallyyyy he's right, since her survival required magic, but...)

He broke the arm of one of his 'adopted' adult kids (he has an enchanted cottage which has been a refuge for a lot of people) when said adult tried to prevent him from killing someone else. Yes, technically he did only push Thom and didn't intend for Thom to hit the wall so hard, but...

Long story short but his home world didn't end, it was just knocked out of its timeline for a while. Unfortunately, due to his actions on the day the Grim escaped (attacking portal guards and forcing his way through the rift, just as an unrelated-to-him group stormed the castle), he was a) assumed dead and b) immediately arrested on his return for treason and attempted regicide.

He's a constant menace and cause of stress to his man, the kindest and sweetest soul to ever live. He doesn't mean to be, it's just that his attempts to keep Fen safe often seem to involve risking himself in increasingly creative and fatal ways.

Why should you vote for Sax? Well, I think his endless complex trauma and the fact that almost all his misfortunes happened because he was trying to fix things/help people makes him pretty damn tragic and definitely very damp. He could do with a win. Plus... look at him. 🥲

Our first applicant and already the competition is getting tough!

Simblorbo Submission: Andre St. Fleur for Saddest, Wettest Meow Meow (@simblorbo-bracket)

Name: Andre St. Fleur

Age: 55 (Adult life stage, nearly Elder)

What makes him a Sad, Wet Meow Meow? Born to royalty but completely temperamentally unsuited for it, Andre is pathetic and sad and weak-willed and a big, giant loser. He's the king of a small and unimportant country, and he simply cannot parent effectively or stop cheating on his wife. Finally forced to decide between his mistress and his wife of nearly 30 years, he became so paralyzed with indecision that he developed a terminal illness instead, saving him from ever having to make up his mind about anything.

He is an original character, and one of the leads (for now!) of my story.

Additional propaganda below the cut.

Just some additional pictures of Andre moping, crying, and letting his loved ones down </3

I think my boy has the potential to go far, but even if he gets knocked out in the first round...what could be sadder, wetter, or more pathetic than getting immediately eliminated from the "most pathetic" tournament?
