[object-tournament]

Welcome to round 2 of the Tumblr Object Tournament 2023!!!

intro:

#tot2023 is like your average tumblr tournament, except instead of your favorite characters its your favorite things!!! basically, anything physical thats small enough to hold.

The first round has already finished, with the winner being wooden pencil. but dont worry, the next round will start tomorrow, may 5th!!!

tournament info:

the bracket to this tournament is unique, in that it will expand as the tournament goes on to accomodate new contestants. more info on the bracket here.

The submissions for the tournament are still open and will remain open throughout!! you can submit your objects here or in an ask.

there are a few rules on what does and does not qualify, but theyre pretty loose, so dont worry too much when submitting. just make sure its small enough to hold, non-living, and non-lethal. if needed, the specific rules for submissions can be found here.

this tournament was inspired by several other unusual tournaments, such as @who-do-i-know-this-man 's obscure blorbo tournament, @janmisali 's best number bracket, @ultimate-poll-tournament , @the-nobody-tournament , and BFDI and BFB by Jack n Jellify (although i didnt notice the similarity until much later).

Round 2 info:

round 2 will feature 4 new contestants, competing for best of their bracket. then, the winner will face the reigning champ from last round. The winner of that match is deemed the champ of round 2, and round 3 will start shortly after, featuring 8(!!) new contestants.

thanks for reading and i hope you enjoy the competition!!!!! :D

Ohohoho, you had me in the first half 👀 Thank you for the Trick!!!

How about the aftermath of the infamous "getting chucked down a flight of concrete stairs by an angry plant" incident from Gab's POV for a treat??

(content warning for injury, mild body horror, and mention of past violence)

“Gab,” Andy says, hands finding my cheeks and cupping my face. Her eyes, always so sharp, dig into me like a scalpel. “Gab, you need to burn [the vines].”

I can’t. I can’t.

She grabs my hands, presses them to my cheeks. “The seeds are sprouting, Gab. They’ll root in your skin. You need to burn them.”

She says it like it’s that easy. Like I’m not fighting just to stay awake, just to understand her, just to remember where I am.

“Gab.” She shakes my shoulders, and my vision swims.

I try to speak, to tell her I’m tired. All that comes out is a groan, and the part of me that hasn’t given up screams.

“Please.”

Something wet hits my face.

Blood?

Another tap against my cheek. “Please, Gab. Please.”

Tears.

She’s crying.

Andy’s crying.

“I can’t watch you die again, Gab. I can’t.”

Again?

The piercing in my side, the clenching in my lung, the Fire that flooded the halls of Avatica just to call for help. Isa’s shaking, his hand cupping my ribs and the itching ache that wouldn’t leave. Ember’s scream.

Annie’s silence. Andy’s shaky silhouette.

No.

I can’t do that to her again.

I can’t make her cry.

Trick or treat!!! - @magic-is-something-we-create

MATCH NUMBER 63

HEADPHONES VS. SPOON

on the right, we have spoon, who has won every match of wave 5 so far, managing to beat out fork, snowball, pizza, button, and even key.

and on the right, we have headphones, champion of wave 3, who survived their match up with the winner of wave 4, and is now competing to be the champion of wave 5.

you all have 1 week to decide which is the better object, and who will be crowned champion of the fifth wave. Best of luck to both competitors.
