Finished this fanart at a breakneck pace because I love all of you.

Congrats to our winner, Bombyx Mori, fucking deserves it she’s a legend, and our runner up Count Dion, ugh I love him so much.

Here’s everyone who made it past the first round (the top 10 finishers):

I used this photo from my musings (the first one of MHA’s polls) as reference. And of course, Grace’s art for everyone + Barnaby’s art for their own character of count dion (and a little bit of their art style also helped with drawing Bombyx thank you thank you)

Semi Final # 2 (Winner: Count Dion Alexander Grimmawk)

FINAL POLL - Winner: Bombyx Mori!

(Live until 2/6 9 am EST, right when the new episode, Arc 11 Episode 6, of UC comes out. Yes. I did that on purpose.)

More commentary under the cut

My spreadsheet used in order to keep track of all of this, which also accessable through a reblog of my first post.

I made the polls because, as I said in my first post, I was sad that there wasn’t any episode next week.

I originally titled it “Battle Royale 2023” because, cool name! But then I realized… Oh if Hayley and Gus wanna run another Trans Life line Battle Royale this year I swiped in and took it. So to avoid confusion I’m taggin this “UC Tumblr Poll Royale 2023″, even though it definitely will not be the only one. But yeah in my head, I’m thinking “this is a poll run with all the player characters from Arcs 1-11, which is an even 50 people” so that’s a nice number and I thought to leap at the chance while I had it.

For the semis, which I detail in my posts, I tried my best to split up based on 1) Player and 2) Arc. So with Hayley coming in with three winners after the first round (Bishop of arc 10, Aster of arc 4, and Lottie of arc 6), it was going to be impossible. Since Dion of arc 10 also won their round 1 though, I thought it best that Bishop and Dion be in seperate polls with Aster and Lottie being in whichever poll Dion landed in.

Afterwards, the mixture of the polls for semis was mostly for flavor flair and drama. As of writing this bit in this pinned post, the semis aren’t even out yet. But you’ll see soon enough.

These semis are scheduled to go out at 4:53 pm today (at the time of writing this) at 2/3. I don’t know why exactly, but there seems to be a consistent 7 minute lag for all my scheduled posts? So here I am, trying to compensate. I wrote above though, that it starts at 5 pm. <-- hi future Quill here. Bad idea. The semis started and ended right at 4:53pm because of my over alteration.

Thanks to all for voting this has been fun so far! You’re indulging my stats loving side and I’m very happy (despite the lack of UC episode. Incredible.)

If only I put this much effort into work or something lol.

Anyways take care UC fans! Good luck to your vote in the final :3

Magic and Moonlight: Chapter 1

Here’s chapter one. No warnings yet. I will add warning appropriate. Tagging: @queenofthearchitect Message me if you want to be tagged in this. Enjoy!

“Thea,” your roommate, Charlotte, called as she poked her head into your room, “Time to get up so we can head to the PC.”

“Five more minutes, mom,” I mumbled as I turned away from my door.

“Theadora Rose Bartlett, wake the fuck up,” Charlotte ripped my quilt off my sleepy body, “We have training and promo class today. Now move or I will sit on you.”

I groaned and finally got up. Seeing as I had showered last night, I opted to just dress myself in my typical work out ensemble of a sports bra, loose tank top, workout leggings, and my cross-trainers. I ran my hairbrush through my tangled, loosely curled hair, and pulled it back into a messy bun near the top of head.

Once I was done, I grabbed my gym bag with my spare change of clothes, and went out into the tiny living room and kitchen of my shared apartment here is Orlando, to see what Charlotte made us for breakfast since it was her turn to make it today.

“About time,” Charlotte smirked as she dished up my share of scrambled egg whites with Colby-jack cheese melted on top, “Oh I think you forgot to put on something today.”

Charlottle tapped on her neck, which made my eyes go wide. I forgot my choker necklace I always wore. Since I was very powerful with my magic and having The Morrigan, one of the most powerful ancient witches, in my soul I had to wear it to suppress most of my magic so I can blend into society.

“Oh shit,” I ran into my room and found my choker on my side table. I quickly slipped it on and sighed in relief.

I was worried you’d forget I was here, ma darling.

“How can I forget,” I mumbled to myself, when I was really talking to Morrigan, “You make me a danger to a lot of people when you get in one of your moods.”

I get in my moods to protect us, child.

I just rolled my eyes as I rejoined Charlotte to eat our breakfast before leaving.

Once Charlotte and I got into the PC, she went off to hang with her friends Becky, Bayley and Sasha. I opted to go off into an isolated corner to start stretching before being my training routine. I trained in parkour and tumbling and I used yoga for post-workout recovery. I saw it as a means to help me with my style of wrestling. I loved to just fly from off the ropes. I lived to be agile and strike quickly. I also liked being flexible so I can’t get submitted easily.

I was lost in my thoughts, stretching to get loose before I’d climb into a ring to run the ropes to warm up, when I looked up at very tall presence in front of me. I looked up and saw this very attractive man with dark brown, almost black hair, with a shock of blond to the right of his face. He had a well-kept, but short beard on his face. But his eyes, oh his eyes were a beautiful warm brown that I swear was making me melt under his warm gaze.

“I’ve never seen you here before,” he held out his hand to me as a soft smile graced his lips, “I’m Colby, but my ring name is Seth Rollins.”

“Thea Bartlett,” I took his hand as I righted my posture, “My ring name is Casey Ferguson.”

“Well it’s nice to meet you, Thea,” Colby smirked, “I’ll see you in the ring later. Maybe I’ll see what moves you got.”

He walked away, going over to a pair of guys standing off in another corner. One had shaggy, dark strawberry blond hair that was tousled all over the place. The other was much taller than both, and was much bigger overall. He definitely looked Samoan and he had black hair, pulled back in a neat and tight bun.

“Thea,” I looked up to see Charlotte coming over with Becky and Bayley, “I see you’ve met one of the resident hotties here at NXT.”

“You mean Colby right,” I asked her innocently. As I looked over at the three men, I noticed that Colby was looking over at me, his eyes locking with mine for a moment. I swear, I thought I felt my magic stirring in me, making me worry a little if I accidently exposed my true nature all because of a guy I just met.

I think I know what’s going on here. You got a crush on him.

Go away, Morrigan. You’re not helping.

Maybe he’s your, our, soulmate. After all your crescent moon faces the left. And I sense he’s not human.

Drop it, Morrigan.

“Is she bothering ya again, lass,” Becky asked.

“When doesn’t she,” Becky was a druid, so she knew all about Morrigan, my parasite in my soul.

“So you met Colby,” Bayley waved over at Colby, “He’s a nice guy actually. And I will let you in on a little secret. He’s not human. I can tell.”

I just shook my head and went to climb into the closest ring to me. Charlotte and the girls hopped up onto the apron and watched as I started to run the ropes. I started to do back bumps and kip ups, trying to get my muscles to start firing and warming up for sparring practice later. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Colby and his buddies come over to lean against the apron opposite of the girls. Colby’s eyes followed me as I ran the ropes. I think I saw him wince every time I did a bump.

Once I felt I had ran enough through the ropes, I decided to do some work flipping off the turnbuckles. I wanted to work on my recoveries from leaping off the ropes, just in case any of my opponents roll out of the way of my high-flying diving attacks.

You have an admirer. His eyes haven’t stopped following you the ring.

Morrigan, not now!

Of course, being distracted by Morrigan and her observations, I didn’t pay attention to my footing on the ropes, and I ended up slipping off the turnbuckle and got my ankle stuck. I screamed in pain as I felt a pulling sensation on my ankle as I dangled precariously in the Tree of Woe position.

“Oh shit,” Colby dove into the ring and immediately came to my aid. Charlotte also came to help, “Hang on, I got you. Char, can you help me out. I’ll hold her while you untangle her leg from the ropes.”

Charlotte nodded at him as she got a grip on my ankle. Colby scooped me up into his arms, holding me close to his chest to get my body weight off my ankle so Charlotte could release me. I winced as Charlotte moved my ankle, trying to not scream out in pain. The last thing I needed was to be seen like this in front of Colby, but too late for that.

Thanks, Morrigan.

Not my fault you can’t multitask.

“Alright you’re free,” Colby helped you stand up a little, not letting you entirely, “Can you stand on your foot?”

I went to put weight on my bad ankle, but I immediately winced and nearly fell. Thankfully, Colby hadn’t left my side yet, and caught me before I could fall.

“Nope,” I winced as I leaned against him, “This is the worst kind of luck. I don’t want to miss anything this early on into NXT. Fuck.”

“Hey it happens,” Colby helped me over to the ropes, by his friends, “Hey Roman, can you help me get her out of the ring. She needs to go to the trainer’s room to get checked out.”

“Sure thing, Uce,” Roman got closer to the ring apron, “Lay her down and I’ll help her down from under the ropes.”

Colby laid me down on the matt, being careful of my ankle. Roman reached over and pulled me into his arms and held onto me as Colby rolled out of the ring. Roman handed me over to Colby and he took me to trainer’s room.

As I got settled on the exam bench, I hadn’t noticed my birthmark was exposed. I looked over at Colby and he was looking right at my birthmark on my hip. My crescent moon. I instantly panicked and fixed my tank top to cover it.

“Your birthmark,” he started before swallowing heavily, “Is it a crescent moon? Are you a witch?”

“Yeah,” you answered both of his questions at the same time. You decided to prove it to him by conjuring a lily in my hand. I held out my hand for him to take the lily from me.

“Wow,” Colby was in awe as he took the lily into his hand, “I mean I’ve heard of witches, but I’ve never met one before. Or at least not knowingly anyway.”

“Ah,” I simply nodded. I was about to speak again when I trainer came into the room.

“Alright, Miss Bartlett, let me get a look at your ankle,” the trainer started to check on my ankle as Colby started to make his way over to the door.

“I’m going to wait outside the room,” Colby said, “I can come back after you’re done and I can help you get back out into the floor for promo class.”

Once we were released for the day, the sun had long since gone down. My ankle was going to be fine in a couple days. Thanks to Colby’s quick thinking, he saved me from severe damage and my ankle was only strained. So, I just had to wear a brace on my ankle and rest for a couple days.

“Hey Char,” I called to Charlotte as I grabbed my keys and my jacket, “I’m going out to the park for a walk and to take in the moonlight, don’t wait up for me.”

“Be careful,” Charlotte warned, “If you need me to come walk you back, give me a call okay.”

I nodded and headed out. The night air was cool and felt pretty nice. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky and the breeze was calm. As I walked to the park, I was careful to not put too much of my weight on my bad ankle. Once I got there, I took a seat on my usual bench, and gazed up at the stars.

“I wish I could meet my soulmate,” I huffed to myself. All the people I grew up with had found their partners during grade school, but I hadn’t. I mean I knew I had someone because of the mark on my hip, but it still hurt to not have my soulmate yet.

I was lost in my thoughts when I heard a twig snap. The sound startled me as I looked over at the bushes not far from my bench. I stood up slowly, ready to lash out with my magic if I needed to.

Something is in the bushes. I can’t tell if it’s friend or foe.

I approached the bushes cautiously. I had to be extra careful because of my ankle, but I was curious and little scared.

“Who’s there,” I called out toward the bush, “Show yourself.”

There was movement in the bush. I was startled by what came out of the bushes.

It was a wolf. A werewolf to be exact, and he was fairly large one. He was a beautiful deep brown color with some patches of white on his paws and chest. His eyes were the most beautiful feature about him, they were a warm chocolate brown. They looked similar to Colby’s but I wasn’t too sure do to the darkness of the night.

But as I looked into his eyes, I felt this weird sensation. I was tingling all up and down my body. I knelt down to the wolf as he approached me. He bowed before me before he laid down in front of me, resting his chin on his front paws. I tentatively held out my hand to him. The wolf sniffed me before he nudged my hand and licked it. I decided to pet him behind his ear and I swear he gave a groan of approval at my action.

But in that moment, I knew that this wolf was special to me. Even Morrigan knew.

I think you just found your soulmate. I feel this wolf’s imprint on you.
