hey i just remembered about this tournament and how much i enjoyed it, is there any luck for season 3? or have you lost interest?

Heya! I'm glad you liked this tournament so much to come back to it!

It's not that I have lost interest as much as life has been very full and exacting since season 2. I'm not opposed to season 3, but I don't have the time for it at the moment even if it was fun to run. Tell you what, if in January 2026 you're still interested ask me again. I should have time by then.

Welcome to the AlloAro Swag Tournament!

I am hopping on the tournament bandwagon to bring you the alloaro swag tournament! There are a lot of great Aro/Aro-coded characters who are aroace but I think the characters with alloaro swag deserve some love too!!!

Submissions

This blog is run by @nerdicorntheshipper and inspired by blogs like @aroswagshowdown @transfemswagbracket @transmascswagbracket @autismswagsummit @besttropeveershowdown @who-do-i-know-this-man @bestfictionaldivorce

Welcome to the Best book siblings tournament!

We're here to decide who the best book siblings are

We all know the drill by now, but just to be clear, here are the rules:

They can be two or more siblings

Adopted siblings are allowed (of course), but they have to be actual siblings, not childhood best friends who say they're like siblings to each other, or anything like that (eg Kell and Rhy from A Darker Shade of Magic are eligible, but not Kaz and Jesper from Six of Crows, even though Kaz calls Jesper by his brother's name at some point)

You can submit as many siblings as you want, but only once for each!

By "best", I don't mean the ones who work best together or the ones who get along the best, they can be an absolute mess if you want, this is just a popularity contest

I tend to have a pretty good tolerance for rude things in the tags, so I might not realize if people are being actively harmful: if you see anyone being awful in the tags, please send me an ask or a DM and I'll block them

The form is closed until I can sort through the submissions we already have!

If you have any question or if the form doesn't work, please send an ask! (I hope they're still on)

Best Adaptation Tournament: Submission Open

Adapting a work from one medium to another is hard, and fans are impossible to please, but occasionally, you get the adaptation that do the OG justice, perhaps even elevates it. We voted for what we hate at @book-was-better and @booktomoviebrawl, now we find the adaptions we love.

What Qualifies?

For the purpose of this tournament an adaptation is...

A work which transfers a piece of art from one medium to another.

Any medium counts as long as it's different from the OG (Stageplay to movie, yes! A new production of an existing stageplay, no!)

An adaptation must have the same protagonist(s) and share major plot points with the OG. There can be changes from the original but it should not be a spin-off. (Eg. Inteview With The Vampire TV series is still an adaptation but The Clone Wars is a spin-off.)

Examples

Book to TV, book to video game, light novel to anime, video game to anime, musical to movie, book to musical, book to radio drama (when it makes changes in content) etc.

Note: Since there are so many manga to anime adaptions that are basically 1:1, please only submit manga to anime adaptions if there's significant changes in content/style. Making up new endings would count as significant changes.

Exclusions:

LOTR

Harry Potter

Marvel/DC

Shakespeare

Fairytales

There are so many adaptions for some of these that they could have their own tournament.

Submission will open until 10PM August 30th, or when I have 100+ entries, whichever happens earlier.

its kinda funny 2 me that in the middle of the tournament like. literally before the semifinals, kohaku's second unit, double face, had their well. last event. and officially disbanded, thus making his original submission out dated on accident. thanks happy elements for that one. still stream bye bye buddy though ✌️✌️✌️✌️

That's extremely funny. When the silly little tournament can't keep pace with canon :)

Welcome To The Gaslight Gatekeep Girlboss Tournament!

They are abusive manipulators who lie and make someone question their own sanity? Check. They control acess to information/activity/community and decide who is worthy of receiving it by themselves? Check! They are self-made and determined to succeed? CHECK! So let's start the bloody massacre for the title of the most gaslightest, gatekeepest, girlbossest of all! Rules:

No real life combatants/their fictionalized versions. Unless it's really funny ("my mom"s/"that one girl in science class"s/"our president"s if done w/o malicious intent and for pure jest may have a separate lil' competition after the final round, but they should be sent via askbox with a mark #extra)

Girlbossing is a vague termin so you may submit almost anyone as long as they have vibe

Be nice to other people, it's just a silly little tournament, there is no reason to insult others for their preferences

One (1!) character per submission! Number of submissions isn't limited

Please don't spam the same character over and over

If I made some mistake in character's name/tag/pronounce/whatever just @ me in comments as I may not have time or attention to notice it in askbox in time.

Submissions close on September 1st or at 255 entries

Have fun!

The Best Kirby Character Season 3 Submissions are Open!

Submit all your blorbos from the Kirby universe here! :D

You'll notice there are already 8 characters on the bracket, these characters are Taranza, Daroach, Bandana Dee, King Dedede, Shadow Kirby, Dark Meta Knight, Marx, and Magolor! There's no need to submit these characters since they're automatically in ^-^

Those of you who haven't been around for Season 1 or Season 2 may be confused about why Kirby and Meta Knight aren't here, and the answer is that Kirby won Season 1, and Meta Knight won Season 2, so they will be left out of Season 3 to give others a chance at winning!

Qualifications for submissions

The characters you submit must:

Be a Kirby character, no OCs allowed!

Show signs of sentience! (ex: While Whispy Woods is a tree, he has definitely shown signs of sentience and emotions! Therefore, you can submit Whispy Woods here!)

Not have already been denied entry from Season 1 and Season 2 (you can check if a character has been denied by looking in the #poll character: denied! tag!)

Be submitted using the google form found below! If you try to submit a character using the askbox, it will be ignored and deleted!

Rules for Submissions

Do not submit Kirby or Meta Knight, since Kirby won Season 1 and Meta Knight won Season 2!

Do not submit the characters already in the bracket (Taranza, Daroach, Bandana Dee, King Dedede, Shadow Kirby, Dark Meta Knight, Marx, and Magolor!)

You can submit multiple characters, but please don't submit the same character multiple times!

Characters from the anime, novels, and manga are allowed! However, manga, novel, and anime versions of already existing characters (specifically characters that we already have a large understanding of from the games, like Kirby, Marx, Magolor, Meta Knight, etc.) will not be allowed! Manga characters that play small roles in the games will be allowed!

Only a total of 64 characters will be allowed in the bracket, and 8 slots have already been filled, so only 56 characters will be making it onto the bracket!

Certain characters can be submitted together! (For example (but not limited to): Adeleine and Ribbon, Tiff and Tuff/Fumu and Bun, Lololo and Lalala, and the Mage Sisters!)

Kirby villains/monsters are allowed!

Even if a character has enough votes to qualify, they may be turned down from the tournament! The mod will make a public announcement for the character, and explain why.

And that's basically it! If you have any questions about the rules, qualifications, or about whether or not a certain character fits the requirements, feel free to ask! ^-^

You can submit a character here:

You can find a regularly updating (unless mod is asleep or busy) list of submitted characters (along with the amount of submissions they've received) here!

Need help remembering a character? You can check the Kirby Wiki or WiKirby!

The number of submissions needed for a character to be safely on the bracket will depend on the number of submissions this gets, but it'll be somewhere along the lines of 3-6 submissions!

Even if a character doesn't have enough submissions by the time it closes, they'll still have a chance to get in the bracket by winning their Preliminary Round Poll!

The Submission Form will be open until Monday, August 21st at 9pm EST or until this receives 350+ submissions!

Tagging some other tournaments for visibility! Feel free to ignore this if you want!

Alright, folks, Season 2 has come to a close! I had a lot of fun running this tournament again, and, before you ask, yes, I may do a Season 3 in the future. It won't be the near future, 'cause, you know, life and all, but I may do it.

I sincerely hope you had fun, and I thank you all for participating again. See you!

[anonymous-character-tournament]

Round 5, Final

Former child soldier

Refuses to speak for a significant part of the narrative

Thinks that not having to kill people is a privilege

Somehow still just a sweetheart

Full wizard, half alchemist

Musical Assassin:

For their own good their family locked them away for the first fifteen years of their life

Ran away to join a band, is now in two bands

Their second band is just a front for their implied sidegig as a teenage hitperson

Their cousin lovingly kidnapped them and tied them up in a public bathroom

Met their only friend on stan Twitter

Congratulations to Dramatic Persona, also known as Richard Swift alias The Shade from DC Comics and DC's Stargirl, for getting third place!

Nap God is Beerus from Dragon Ball Super!

Round 5, 3rd Place Final

Dramatic Persona:

Inadvertently gained immortality and shadow powers by cheating a cult about 200 years ago

Incredibly particular about their tea

Utterly incapable of not being extremely ominous or dramatic in whatever they say or do

Keeps getting forcibly adopted by teenage superheroes

Fought vampires on a cursed ship thus saving a baby while repeating that their heart is dead and they’re not a hero

Nap God:

Has divine powers in their universe

Spends most of their time napping

By sleeping for fifty years they got a multiversal game of hide-and-seek cancelled

The sole in-canon factor behind the extinction of the dinosaurs

Can be convinced not to murder someone with a good meal
