Here it is, this years bracket!!!

These are the top 32 fandoms with the most submissions (each of these got 10 or more)

FAQ:

yes it is seeded, based on the numbebr of submissions

each round lasts a week, and the first will be posted in a few days

I select the images for the poll by googling the fandom, and using the first image that comes up on google images so PLEASE dont come complaining about the image not accurately representing the fandom, unless the image is completely unrelated to the fandom (e.g. image of a witch instead of the witcher) i dont care

at the end of each round I will post the funny propaganda people added to their submission + the number of submissions it got

I do not reblog/post propaganda while the poll is ongoing so those asks will be deleted

vote based on tumblr in the last year (but i cant stop anyone from voting a different way)

from now on, asks will be tagged as #fandom poll ask, and each round will be tagged as #2025 fandoms 1, #2025 fandoms 2 etc

Feel free to send an ask with any other questions, this post will be pinned and act as the FAQ so will be updated as this goes on

Also if you are involved in one of these, please send an ask telling me if the fandom goes by any other name so I can tag properly!

woc characters get put on a pedestal in their fandoms in a way that is so boring and itself kinda dehumanising. i dont just wanna hear about how they’re flawless queens, i want them to feel specific and real. and i understand why it happens, especially with younger fans, but fandom of these characters that’s oriented more around defending them from haters rather than engaging with them (beyond empty, repetitive adulation) is so… limiting and profoundly boring. you could explore these characters on their own merit instead you neglect any potential interiority, humanity, complexity in favour of letting rando haters be a hair trigger and building your faves up as impenetrable fortresses against them. and then its just girlboss with a coat of brown paint

i cannot do another round of "is shaving feminist?" discourse again, i simply cannot do it. is shaving feminist? no! do feminists shave their bodies? yes! is this a deep betrayal of principles? not really! do some women actually shave for the mythical "sensory reasons"? well, considering that my number one reason for shaving my legs in the summer is because my ceiling fan blows on the hair and i'm constantly having mini freakouts that i've got a bug crawling on me, i'd imagine some do! is it okay for a woman to say to herself "i realize i'm mostly doing this because i don't want to be treated worse by people in the world who find my unshaven legs disgusting, but i'm still going to do it because i don't think suffering for no reason is virtuous" and shave? yes! will yelling at her to "think critically about her choices" until she agrees with you actually work? no! does any of this make it any easier to get an abortion in this country? nope! have we replaced the "is this pop star a feminist?" discourse of the 2010s with "are your personal choices antithetical to the tenets of feminism?" discourse in the 2020s, none of which is conveniently focused on the actual loci of power?? hahahahahahaaaaa

You ever think of the volume 7 discourse and remember how wild it is when you take a step back from it?

Starting a new religion. I'm not sure about the belief system yet, but the temples need to include obstacle courses of dangerous death traps that need to keep working for at least 2,000 years.

We report: these long days keep on getting longer, and the sun lingers at the door while the clouds bruise purple and pink. The moon struggles to find room in the interlude, but we feel exactly in the right place in this instant, our shoulders damp with evening drizzle.
