#toxic ship tournament

[toxic-ship-tournament]

ROUND 3 / POLL 4

Lucille x Jo (@radioactive-dragonlover) vs Amaro x Calamari (@hottopicabbacchio & @corpsoir)

who makes up your ship?:

Lucille and Jo

why does your ship deserve to be considered the most toxic?:

Lucille is a rich woman who has nothing to do in her life, she's eternally bored and wishes for something new— something fresh to happen. Jo is a quiet woman with some repressed violent tendencies and who works minimum wage bug is struggling to make ends meets. One night, Jo decides to rob Lucille's mansion and kills her without meaning to in the process, escaping the scene anxiously thinking she's going to go to jail once the body is found. However, Lucille wakes up the next day, with the events of the murder burnt into her mind but her body spared of any wounds. Turns out getting killed is EXACTLY the spice in life she was waiting for! So she decided to track down and knock on her murder's door— not to rat her out, but to ask her to do it again. Jo wasn't really for murdering again, especially with how anxious she ended up getting in the aftermath, but begrudgingly accepts. And it seems that Lucille IS actually very fun to kill for her, too. Cue to Jo murdering Lucille on a Weekly basis, getting very Gay about it each time. Lucille get the thrill of death she wanted, and Jo gets an outlet for her violence. A relationship starting as purely transactional at first slowly turns into a murder romance. They're both kinda fucked up in isolation to one another but complete eachother awfully well. Like "you two are perfect for eachother but never pull anyone else into your bullshit" kinda deal. They keep eachother contained. You feel me.

who makes up your ship?:

amaro (he/him, by hottopicabbacchio) calamari (he/they, by corpsoir)

why does your ship deserve to be considered the most toxic?:

Amaro used his stand (make you fall in love) on a lot of people, Calamari came around and he used his stand on them for one night too, but Calamari kept coming back after the effect wore off so Amaro continued to use his stand for a bit being afraid of him leaving/because he thought it would be fun. Eventually, Amaro realized that he had stopped using his stand on Calamari and actually fell in love with them. They have a good 3 year run where they're together and fine and in love UNTIL. one day going on a job for information (mafia business), Amaro is talking/flirting some of the information out of the guy theyre after and Calamari over hears some guys talking about how "Amaro is after another one" and how they had been affected by his stand power before. It gets Calamari thinking if Amaro had used his stand on them before (yes, but only at the beginning) and they start thinking that the whole relationship had been a lie. They get in a big argument - Calamari confronting Amaro while Amaro desperately tried to prove to Calamari he hadn't been using his stand for years - and they end up breaking up. After about a month, Amaro gets worried about not seeing Calamari around and goes to their apartment that he still haa the spare key too and goes inside to find him. Instead, he finds a mess and Calamari eating cold pizza in an empty bathtub alone. Calamari half agrees for Amaro to stay and help them clean, which they assume and know thats the only reason they would have come, and doesnt believe Amaro about their relationship no matter what he tries to say. Over time - a cleaning session maybe once a week or so with Calamari making as little talk to Amaro as possible and Amaro just wanting to make things right again - Calamari suddenly realizes that he might be falling in love with Amaro again and confronts him about using his stand again and tells him to show her to them. Amaro had made a vow to himself to not use his stand around Calamari ever again, but caves and shows Calamari that the swords (where his stand power is) are all still there. Currently, they are working on getting back to how they were before, but there is still Issues and Problems <3 They both want it back but Calamari still cant trust Amaro but Amaro had never been in love with someone like that before

"i'll tell him soon", amaro says and then it didn't get out for another 3 years lol. get hot pink jjba oc blasted

in honour of @toxic-ship-tournament here's some silly backstory to amaro and calamari, ft their friend violino (@sboopie's oc!)

@hottopicabbacchio also wrote a lil blurb for this under the cut!!! please read it i'm going insane <3 smile

“So what do you want?” “I want you to tell Mari what you did.”

Amaro attempted to look unphased, crossing his arms and shrugging as he stared at Violino. He knew exactly what they meant. “What would be the point?” Violino shot him a look as she stepped around the mannequin. “The point would be that they would know. Especially is this is going to just be another phase for y-” “Have you seen any of the others last this long?” Amaro huffed out a breath. “It’s already been 4 months, if I wanted to drop him I already would have.”

Amaro was trying to push down the thoughts of when he had been using his stand on Calamari. He did feel bad for it, he knew she wasn’t even needed. For all of his yearning for something real he’d gotten too used to using his stand anyway, he can’t even use her on half the guys he passes in the street anymore. It wasn’t until after Poplar St revealed herself to him and he noticed she had all her swords on her while Calamari slept that he even realized he had stopped using her. There wasn’t a pinpoint last moment he could recall, but there was a very definitive moment for him when he knew he had fallen for Calamari - the same way Calamari had for him since the start.

Calamari should know. Amaro just… Needs to find the right time.

He looked up at the sound of a sigh and heels clicking on the ground as Violino stepped fully out of his workspace. She had a hand on her hip and was fixing him with a very pointed look. “Listen. You’ve had your little hookups, one night stands, phases, whatever you want to call them all - people know. I’m sure Calamari knows about them too but what he doesn’t know is that you used your stand on them, and that’s not fair.” Violino stopped walking once they were right in front of Amaro. “I don’t care what you were doing before, that’s your issue. But this time has gone on too long.” Amaro clenched his jaw and stared her down. “And who are you to tell me how I should feel now? You don’t think there’s a reason they’ve lasted so long?” Amaro felt sick to his stomach about the way he was talking about them. He sighed and uncrossed his arms, running a hand through his hair. “I… I don’t need anybody else telling me when I should do this.”

“Then I’ll do it.”

Amaro’s eyes widened and he dropped his arms to his sides. “You wouldn’t.”

Violino took another step closer and shoved his finger into his face. They were serious. “I would. If you’re not going to tell them then I will. He needs to know.”

Before they had a chance to say another word, Amaro grabbed Violino’s face and pulled him closer. His nails were digging a bit into her cheeks a bit and he pulled them so close that their noses were practically touching. Amaro was trying to keep his breathing steady.

"Violino,” His voice was low. “Listen to me. Don’t fucking ruin this for me, I have it under control, okay?” Amaro could see the doubt in her eyes. She tried pulling back but Amaro held fast. “I swear I’ll tell him soon. Don’t get involved, just let me handle it.”

Violino hummed, narrowing their eyes. She brought a hand up to rest on his elbow and Amaro allowed them to lean back a bit but didn’t let go quite yet. “Give me a reason why I shouldn’t go out and tell them right now.”

Amaro sighed and finally let go of Violino to allow her to stand up straight. It was easier to hide his shaking that way anyway. “Because I already stopped using my stand a month ago and I fucking love him?” That was probably the first time he had admitted that outloud.

“Great,” Violino didn't seem swayed. “Give me another.” Amaro shook his head and looked at Violino with desperation. “… Please?” He felt all the fight leave his body. “Vio, it has to be me who tells him. I told you I had it handled, I’m just… I’m trying to find the right time. I’ve never had to do this before.” Violino’s expression softened a bit, but she still didn’t seem convinced. “And when will the right time be?”

"Soon, I promise, okay? I’m still trying to understand what even happened myself, I don’t even know when exactly I stopped using Poplar St, it just kinda happened. I know Mari needs to know, I know he’s going to be mad at me, I know that it’s not fair. But I also know that I want to stay with him for as long as I can.” He took a shaky breath in, held it for a second, then let it out. “So… Please. Let me do this myself.”

Violino chewed on his lip for a second, giving a more pitying look at Amaro before closing her eyes and sighing. “Fine. Fine. I’ll tell Ambrose to keep quiet as well. Just don’t come crying if this backfires.”

Amaro simply nodded. “Thank you, Vio.”

WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR CHARLIE AND JOHN.

In honor of these freaks making round 2 of @toxic-ship-tournament , I have taken it upon myself to make a little propaganda post for them.

1. The Serpent and Eve symbolism:

(art by @glitcheddead )

Look at them! He’s the serpent wrapping himself around her very being, corrupting her to take the Apple and join him in paradise while also simultaneously creating new life with her, starting the second generation of families amongst Eden’s Gate. The minute he slithered on over to her and whispered in her ear she was fucked and clearly by the art, she gives in to her temptation eventually.

2. Couples That Slay Together Stay Together:

Just months after their wedding, John brings her to his little torture dungeon, presenting her with the gift of her ex-husband, neatly wrapped up in a bow and ready to be killed. Just for her. Just for her to see just how devoted he is to her. Hand in unlovable hand, they take him out. Together.

Also, check this recent WIP for a snippet of her doing girly things and killing to defend her man.

3. They’re Just Hot.

(art by @derelictheretic )

Look at that utter devotion. She would crawl on her hands and knees for him. They worship each other while simultaneously making the other much, much worse.

VOTE for @radioactive-dragonlover 's toxic lesbian couple NEOWWW!!!!!!!! @toxic-ship-tournament JO AND LUCILLE SWEEP FOREVER 👩🏼‍❤️‍💋‍👩🏻🔪💥

[toxicyuribracket]

Welcome to the Toxic Yuri Fight Club

The act of pitting unhinged, unhealthy yuri couples against each other is an act of yuri itself, let's see who comes out on top in doing so.

RULES:

Pairings don't need to be from a yuri series, but they do need to be yuri (so only wlw pairings).

No real life people, this includes cases where real people are playing themselves as characters like MCYT or vtubers.

No Ha//rry Po//tter.

No incest or pedophilia.

The amount of pairings on the bracket will depend on how many submissions we get, and each round will run for one week. The submission form will be open until September 30th!!

[toxichomestucktournament]

Toxic Homestuck Tournament Finals

Reminder this is for the ship you prefer, not the more toxic ship. They're all toxic, man. If you don't think one ship is toxic, don't vote for it.

[jejushipbracket]

Is your ship JeJu? Let us know!

Sometimes you think about unhinged love. And then you realize that perhaps whoever wrote Judas and Jesus (from the bible)'s interactions was perhaps the world's most famous fujoshi and/or fudanshi. This is what that is. Not afilliated to JeJu Hater Polls who I Will Not Name.

RULES:

For a ship to be JeJu, it must fit at least one of the following criteria:

Person A betrays Person B to the point it leaves a lasting impact. Either to the person, narrative or real life.

Person B outshines Person A to the point some hatred or ill will is left behind. Maybe leads to point 1.

Person A and Person B know each other but one (or both parties) know that their relationship will not end well.

Person A and Person B are doomed to hurt one another not only in a toxic way but also in a biblical way (for example, prophecies, foreshadowing, etcetera)

Person B is literally a god and Person A is a mortal who knows that they are powerless next to B (simillar to 2).

Person A and Person B are quite literally JeJu/JeJu parallels.

If you make a really convincing point not on here on why a pair is JeJu I might add it too.

Pairings must only be queer in nature (mlm or wlw or NB/F-M-NB). Straight pairings are NOT allowed!!!!!!!

No real life people and/or avatars of real life people (VTubers, Youtubers, Band Personas a-la Daft Punk, MCYT). For the sake of this argument, the bible counts as fiction due to it's improbable nature and also because I say so. I will not argue about this.

As an addendum, arguably historic stories (mythos, old folk tales, etcetera.) are allowed as long as you can convince me about it. The RPF rule is mostly about currently alive people, people who have living relatives, and whatnot. I'll let you history majors fight it out, sure. Also don't be weird about it.

Ha//rry P////tt/er and H/zbin H/t/////el/ are not allowed in the victinities due to discourse. I will also not argue about this.

No incest or pedophilia.

Depending on submissions that's how we're going to decide the bracket size. Do be ready for any changes in the ruling depending on how it all goes! Poll is projected to end on NOVEMBER 30TH. For fun.

Amen.

Insolent wretch.

"dont forget who you answer to."

[toxicsludgeyaoi]

Toxic Sludge Yuri Tournament: Submissions Open! Will close Feb. 14th (how romantic !!!)

I'm going to change up the banner and profile picture, among other things, for this blog but I figured I might as well start the submission process. Some rules and stuff that'd I'd really appreciate if you read before submitting:

Has to be WLW. It's Yuri guys

No antis pls. You all were so silly last tournament. Throwing up in my inbox only makes the ships stronger you know.

Can be from any kind of media. I will also accept submissions from problematic media, but I reserve the right to not include something for any reason.

No real people! No Taylor Swift x Katy Perry or whatever

If your ship is from a media with a lot of gore in it, please make sure the image you submit has minimal gore, especially if it's live action.

On the topic of images, I would prefer canon pictures but if there aren't any, feel free to send in fanart IF and only IF the artist consents to their work being used in this tournament, and you have proof that they know what their work is being used in and are fine with it. (Credit will, of course, be given in any post that uses the picture.)

Want your ship to get in, but you feel it's not popular enough? Make sure to write compelling propaganda ! Propaganda is a huge factor in who makes it to the bracket.

This tournament is capped at 64 participants. If we do not get 64 participants, we will do 32 with preliminaries if necessary. If we don't get 32, we'll do 16 and so on. However, we will do no more than 64.

This tournament focuses on toxic relationships. Your ship can be siblings or whatever, but that can't be the only thing going for it- they need to be super codependent, or try to kill each other, or something. So yeah, problematic ships are good, just make sure they're toxic too.

You can submit multiple ships, but please do not submit the same ship over and over.

I think that's it! Feel free to pop into my ask box if you have any further questions.

New here and want to see how the last tournament went? Here.

TOXIC SHIP TOURNAMENT 2023

Do you have a ship? Does it lean more towards the cringe or toxic side? Well, how about you bring that toxicity on over here and let them compete against other awful ships.

Rules:

1. The ships must involve OCs. As much as I love a good canon x canon ship, only OC x Canon or OC x OC ships are allowed.

2. While these ships tend to involve toxic tropes, I would prefer staying away from ones that involve non/dub con. But don’t worry! Things like a little gaslighting and/or kidnapping between lovers is totally fine!

3. NO SHIPS INVOLVING MINORS

4. Throuples and poly ships are welcome!

5. One ship per person please

6. Have fun!

7. Nominations close April 16th

NOMINATE YOUR SHIP HERE 💗

I’m following this incest poll like it’s a damn sports game. Let’s place some bets. Who wants some action on Brick and Mortar up against the twins from ouran high school host club next round

[fhs-event-week]

Propaganda for Redox:

Sometimes the way to resolve your trauma is to make out with the physical embodiment of said trauma when he traps you in your shared mind prison. Exposure therapy and all that, you know?

Propaganda for Fredeak:

Picture this: Eak has been tasked by Owynn to find shadows, for presumably nefarious purposes. There's a lot that's on the line if he fails- and yet, somehow, he falls in love with the shadow that he's meant to capture. Now he's stuck in a trolley problem, forced to choose between saving his new love and his two long time friends... The choice is, sadly, obvious. Doomed romance FTW.

[derelictheretic]

We got a day left on this poll for @toxic-ship-tournament and my boys need a push so I thought i'd share some snippets of their horrible selves to convince y'all to vote for them!!

Warning(s): Mental conditioning, mutual violence & abusive behaviour, emotional and mental manipulation
