Blond Jerk Tourney FINALS

Propaganda from submitters Under Cut

Sharpay Evans

Blonde, HSM antagonist but it was never that deep

vote for Sharpay right now she fought sasuke

Nanami Kiryuu

She's the mean girl of the show, and a pretty interesting take on the "bitchy vain school rival of the protagonist" trope. She spends most of her early screentime being a bully and most of her later screentime being both the biggest loser imaginable and deeply sad/troubled (which still does not erase how much of an asshole she can be). She even laughs like your stereotypical mean rich girl. Nanami has so many problems and sucks so so bad. I adore her.

Shes a psychotic bully who seeks to ruin the lives and reputations of any girl who gets more of her brothers attention than she does. Reasons Nanami Kiryuu deserves to win: - she has made many attempts at physical and psychological terrorism against Anthy Himemiya (including a plotted wardrobe malfunction at a crowded social gathering) simply for drawing more of her brother's attention than her - tried to fill Anthy's bedroom with wild animals (a snail, a snake, and a live octopus) to make her out to be a freak only to find that her room was already full of wild animals - she bankrolled an elementary schoolers crush on her to turn him into her personal boyservant - briefly non-personed a member of her bully entourage for sharing an umbrella with her brother - received a luxury cowbell due to a shipping error and smugly wore it to school for weeks flaunting it like high coture - when her bully entourage rebelled against her due to her brothers manipulation she brought them back in line by just straight up beating the shit out of all of them - all in all just a petty, goonish motherfucker (she also does the ohohohohoho anime girl laugh)

she's blond: despite being Japanese her hair is yellow, unlike her brother's. yellow is even her image color. she's a jerk: introduced as a jealous and dishonest scheming bully, she is one of the more outwardly antagonistic characters in a cast where pretty much everyone is a Real Piece Of Work she's the best: the quintessential ohoho-laughing ojou, her fully-realized character arc makes people both laugh and cry even her sidekick is a blond jerk! how many blond jerks have their own blond jerk sidekick?

i don't know what you've heard but she's NOT the kind of girl who lays eggs!

The token mean rich girl of the franchise. Does the classic "ohohoho" laugh. Doesn't like either of our main characters. She never actually seems to get her way, and secretly has a lot of her own problems. also she lays eggs and turns into a cow

Absolutely THE quintessential anime mean girl. I mean literally her laughing is THE meme for the hohohoho anime laugh. Needs attention So Badly and straight up bullies anyone she deems a threat to that (so basically Everyone). I haven’t finished RGU but apparently she duels with the intent to kill and drowned a kitten once because it was taking up too much of her brother’s attention? Also she’s 13 which explains a lot

💥 Weird Girl Tournament Final Round...Fight!!!

Anthy Himemiya (Revolutionary Girl Utena) vs. Lilo Pelekai (Lilo & Stitch)

(notice that this poll lasts one whole week!)

undecided? here are the excerpts the characters were submitted with!

In Defense of Anthy:

despite constantly facing the many, many horrors of being a teenage girl, she stays silly! she is known by most as a weird loner with a mysterious vibe to her. her best (only?) friend is a monkey-mouse creature named chuchu. her peer once tried to sabotage her by planting strange animals around her room to prove she was weird, only for anthy to one up her by being even weirder than she planned. she keeps snails in her pencilcase, a mongoose in her desk, and a giant balloon octopus in her closet! she also does not know how to cook, and can only make shaved ice for any meal. there's also a rumor that she has something to do with lots of weird happenings around the school....

In Defense of Lilo:

Big fan of Elvis Presley, loves sci-fi/monster movies, insisted that you have to feed fish peanut butter sandwiches because if you fed them tuna that would be cannibalism, and tried to punish her peers with voodoo dolls after a fight...and that was all *before* she bought a strange 'dog' and became involved with aliens from outer space.

the only time utena characters ever win in tumblr polls is when they're not supposed to

[paladin-tourney]

Round 1, Side B - Palafin (Pokémon) vs. Utena Tenjou (Revolutionary Girl Utena)

Propaganda:

Palafin (Pokémon)

His name is literally palafin! Paladin + fin! He’s a friend and hero to all pokemon :)

Utena Tenjou (Revolutionary Girl Utena)

Utena starts the show by trying to defend her friend's honor after her friend is publicly embarrassd. She continues the rest of the show by being a kind and friendly, if not hotheaded person, who is always trying to help others. Also shes got a nifty sword

[ghostinacardboardbox]

Stealing this idea from @swamp-hag-uwu anyway here's a bunch of female characters I think about constantly. Like constantly. To be specific I am referring to the original novels for Carmilla, Dracula, and The Scarlet Pimpernel, not any of the adaptions.

Awful Characters Round 2 Part 2 (5/8)

Propaganda under the cut!

NANAMI

Literally killed a kitten and yet is so iconic you can’t not love her

VEGAS THEERAPANYAKUL

he's such a polarizing character because there's the group of us who are like Vegas <3!!! and then there's the people that point out his many crimes against humanity and lack of redeemable qualities or actions. he brutally tortures his love interest. he commits lots of crimes against the protagonist including drugging him. he's literally the villain. I love him so much though he's the poorest little meow meow of all time

As the oldest son in the minor mafia family in Thailand, Vegas seeks every opportunity to outdo his cousin from the main family. He hires an assassin to go after him. On another occasion he drugs, kidnaps, and assaults a guy to get at his cousin. He secretly schemes with the Yakuza, plots to frame that same guy as a mole working for the main family, fakes being in love with his cousins ex-boyfriend to the point of getting engaged (and then ditches him), and allegedly has done the same thing with the actual mole working for the main family. The definition of manipulate, manwhore, manslaughter. Vegas has a whole ass Patrick Bateman-style murder coat for torture. Methods of torture used: extracting a man's Cochlear, electrocuting a man's balls, forcefeeding by shoving said man's head into slop, whipping him with his own leather belt, setting a fake escape trap only to chase the hostage down and tase him. Whenever he makes deals he'll slip his hand into the other person's with a firm grip before they've consciously expressed a choice (so it always goes in his favor). He shields himself with other's bodies during shootouts, letting several people die for his sake. He's into BDSM (this isn't one of the bad things, but hoo boy people will act like it is). Listen, he's a piece of work. He cries because his pet hedgehog dies. He falls for his hostage, fucks him, and then continues to be shitty so the guy knocks him out to escape. He gets pathetic about it. He confesses his love and kisses him in a parking garage full of dead bodies in the middle of a mafia coup that he is leading. He's absolutely reprehensible and is treated as the main villain of the show for several reasons. Except I love him and his insanity. He gets a lot of shit that he doesn't deserve (both in canon and in the fandom). Not that I wanna fix him, that wouldn't be fun! Vegas and his partner deserve to serve cunt, be disgustingly in love, and murder to their hearts desires because I said so.

The Winner of The Utena Character Poll is

Anthy Himemiya

[thefloatingstone]

Busy working on a Utena video and it's taking a long time because I'm not just chronologically recapping the show, so I have to pick and choose the visuals for each sentence from all 39 episodes...

but the worst part about making this video bar none is having to look at his stupid fucking face

Die.

Stanley | Skullgirls

"The best Skullgirls character ever constructed. I'm so mad he's not playable. Doesn't have the same, "appeal," that really the series is known for, and I love that for him. He stands out in the crowd in a very special way."

Anthy Himemiya | Revolutionary Girl Utena

[blond-jerk-tourney]

So now that we have a blond Jerk and a blond Sweetheart...

(Nanami Kiryuu from Revolutionary Girl Utena being the Jerk and Saki Tenma from Project SEKAI being the Sweetheart)

I need to know....

no 3rd option, no indecisiveness !!!

💥 Semifinals Part One..Fight!!

Anthy Himemiya (Revolutionary Girl Utena) vs. Izumi Tachibana (A3!)

undecided? you know the drill! click below to hear why they were submitted!

in defense of anthy:

despite constantly facing the many, many horrors of being a teenage girl, she stays silly! she is known by most as a weird loner with a mysterious vibe to her. her best (only?) friend is a monkey-mouse creature named chuchu.

her peer once tried to sabotage her by planting strange animals around her room to prove she was weird, only for anthy to one up her by being even weirder than she planned. she keeps snails in her pencilcase, a mongoose in her desk, and a giant balloon octopus in her closet! she also does not know how to cook, and can only make shaved ice for any meal. there's also a rumor that she has something to do with lots of weird happenings around the school....

in defense of izumi:

she's director of a troupe of actors and included in the people she recruits for said troupe are: a prince who fled from his homeland and is currently being chased down, a guy who had previously been living in the dorms after breaking in that everyone thought was a ghost, the yakuza debt collector she met on her first day, former leader of a biker gang who is implied to have confessed to murder on stage, a man that showed up passed out on their front doorstep (which, when he woke up, she immediately asked if he was interested in acting. he could not remember who he was), a member of a secret crime organization who kidnapped her to get back at the amnesiac, the heir to the yakuza clan the debt collector is from, And More. The other actors routinely commented on how crazy she was for just offering a spot in the troupe to everybody.

She also is infatuated with curry and can and will talk for 5 hours about different spice combinations. One character gave her a nickname basically saying she's from planet curry.

when the one guy kidnapped her, she was not concerned at All and instead made him run lines with her. He tried to ignore her. it did not work. She has two things on her mind always: curry and her actors
