DOMINION SMP SEXYMAN BRACKET: FINALS

We all knew this was coming. They made it onto the wider MCYT bracket for a reason, after all -- but who really wins this one? Everyone's favorite not-so-friendly specter or the piglin capitalist himself?

Also, this one's getting maintagged. It's finals, after all!

(Remember: Consider your personal qualifications for a Tumblr or MCYTblr sexyman when voting, not just who you like more/who’s more popular!)

KNOW YOUR CANDIDATES:

Legundo

Origin: Piglin

A natural leader sent to the overworld by his people in order to attempt to take it over by any means necessary. Heard “by any means” and decided on capitalism over brute force, though he’s not above murder if that gets him a little further.

Rival to like half the people on the server and somehow still in almost everyone’s good books despite this. Fix built him a desert for his new casino. He’s going to call it Mas Vegas.

Constantly shaking in the overworld due to oxygen poisoning and not, contrary to popular belief, barely contained fear and/or rage.

Viking

Origin: Phantom

An amnesiac ghost who was in the world before anyone else, but unable to interact with them or the world in any meaningful way… until the dragon was killed, that is.

Extremely cheerful, even when he really, really shouldn’t be. Loves making new friends. Loves jumpscaring people. Loves letting out an evil giggle on occasion and thinks it’s kind of funny when people are freaked out by it. His ass is not a reliable narrator.

Is not doing so great, mentally. Has murderous urges that he usually doesn’t give into and has evil monologue urges that he often gives into. Supposedly a weird book did this to him. Supposedly if he opens the weird book again he may literally split in half.

[dominionsweep]

Eyo everyone, quick question: do we run a loser's bracket for runner-ups at some point in the future after the final match? Matches would probably be reordered based on some trends we've observed in current polling.

DOMINION SMP SEXYMAN BRACKET: SEMIFINALS, MATCH 2

We'll show them a story about the Void!

Jamie

Origin: Dragonborn

Elected queen of the server early into Season 1, and almost immediately implements a tax of “give me all your diamonds, yes all of them, all your diamond gear also, and do it every two weeks while you’re at it.”

Tried to stop everyone from killing the Ender Dragon, failed, exploded, and Came Back Wrong (aka, possessed by the Void). Able to do a really creepy voice filter whenever she wants and starts sacrificing animals to the Void during this time, as well as continuing to hoard diamonds.

Eventually exorcised via the combined effort of all Dominion members. Except she doesn’t remember being evil. And then the apocalypse happens, she explodes again, and now she’s a resident of the Outer End with no memory of anything that happened in the entire series. So that went great.

DOMINION SMP SEXYMAN BRACKET: SEMIFINALS, MATCH 1

Like recognizes like.

(Remember: Consider your personal qualifications for a Tumblr or MCYTblr sexyman when voting, not just who you like more/who's more popular!)

KNOW YOUR CANDIDATES:

Fix

Origin: Inchling

Former kleptomaniac whose accomplishments included stealing gold, a painting, the roof off of someone’s house, the ocean from around someone else’s house, and the columns from someone’s Chisels & Bits temple.

Has the dubious honor of having murdered the most people (at least at once) on Dominion. Also did this during a musical number. The next episode he gets a canonical Scrooge Index of 3 and gets told to get his act together or his friends will murder him.

Was cursed for stealing one thing too many by the Oracle and is now a genie that has to fulfill other people’s wishes, apparently. Is weirdly well-adjusted despite this.

Legundo

Origin: Piglin

A natural leader sent to the overworld by his people in order to attempt to take it over by any means necessary. Heard “by any means” and decided on capitalism over brute force, though he’s not above murder if that gets him a little further.

DOMINION SMP SEXYMAN BRACKET: ROUND 2, MATCH 4

So uh, the thing is, I did in fact design these brackets specifically to be mean and also to parallel things in the series? Which is why Shadow's fighting Grady and now Jamie. Oh, hey, also I can say "and why they ourple" again! Neat!

(Remember: Consider your personal qualifications for a Tumblr or MCYTblr sexyman when voting, not just who you like more/who's more popular!)

KNOW YOUR CANDIDATES:

Jamie

Origin: Dragonborn

Elected queen of the server early into Season 1, and almost immediately implements a tax of "give me all your diamonds, yes all of them, all your diamond gear also, and do it every two weeks while you're at it."

Eventually exorcised via the combined effort of all Dominion members. Except she doesn't remember being evil. And then the apocalypse happens, she explodes again, and now she's a resident of the Outer End with no memory of anything that happened in the entire series. So that went great.

Shadow

Origin: Witherborn

Hitman for hire and probably one of the best PvPers on the server, able to hold his own in a 2v1 vs Jamie and Grady at one point. Worked as an enforcer for the crown but could very much still be bought if you know what you're doing.

Struggled a lot with his urges towards chaos. Likes explosions but is technically not a Witherborn by birth and very much had to deal with the fallout of those two sides warring. Has a consistent soft spot for Sneve.

Is currently on a silent, murderous rampage through Season 2 that has only been tempered by the fact that he's taking a break IRL. Only logs in during blood moons, doesn't speak to anyone, and attacks pretty much everyone that gets close. He did give Joy some armor and play Pigstep for Viking, though.

[dominionsweep]

DOMINION SMP SEXYMAN BRACKET: ROUND 2, MATCH 3

Destroy them all. (In a sexyman competition.)

(Remember: Consider your personal qualifications for a Tumblr or MCYTblr sexyman when voting, not just who you like more/who's more popular!)

Viking

Origin: Phantom

An amnesiac ghost who was in the world before anyone else, but unable to interact with them or the world in any meaningful way... until the dragon was killed, that is.

Extremely cheerful, even when he really, really shouldn't be. Loves making new friends. Loves jumpscaring people. Loves letting out an evil giggle on occasion and thinks it's kind of funny when people are freaked out by it. His ass is not a reliable narrator.

Taneesha

Origin: Ramling(?)

Amnesiac raised by goats after she fell from the sky into a crater, or at least found and then sent out into the world by them. Has a penchant for lying, cheating, lying, reappropriating goods, and lying. Commits tax fraud. As of Season 2, either tracks snow everywhere or has innate Frost Walker.

Extremely chaotic but does care about her friends, probably, it's just very difficult to tell beneath the fact that she wants to cause so much chaos all of the time always. Gets in and out of trouble like she's doing constant QTEs for it.

Is maybe a little possessed by the Void currently? Getting urges to kill people with End crystals but is mostly fending off those urges. Being possessed will not stop her from doing her favorite activity (messing with other people) but she doesn't want to actually kill anyone.

[dominionsweep]

DOMINION SMP SEXYMAN BRACKET: ROUND 2, MATCH 2

I was going to make a "bugaboo" joke last round when it was Ryan vs. Legundo but I kind of forgot to? Also then Legundo completely swept anyway. Guy's got momentum -- but is a vindictive piglin capitalist strong enough to stand up against a god? The answer may surprise... all of us, really.

(Remember: Consider your personal qualifications for a Tumblr or MCYTblr sexyman when voting, not just who you like more/who's more popular!)

KNOW YOUR CANDIDATES:

the Oracle

Origin: N/A (is an NPC, and also is the living manifestation of someone’s extreme magical prowess)

Accidentally stole someone’s body and is technically still running around with it. A mythical entity with little to no hint on what morality they follow, nor what they are capable of (outside being able to watch almost every place in space and time, making them the closest thing Dominion has to a god).

Cursed Fixxitt into becoming a genie for stealing diamonds from an exorcism, and told Nukeri to jump into the Void in order to find his friends (technically the latter one did work out, it just took him four months to wake up again).

Was voiced by Scott SMajor once

Legundo

Origin: Piglin

A natural leader sent to the overworld by his people in order to attempt to take it over by any means necessary. Heard “by any means” and decided on capitalism over brute force, though he’s not above murder if that gets him a little further.

Rival to like half the people on the server and somehow still in almost everyone’s good books despite this. Fix built him a desert for his new casino. He’s going to call it Mas Vegas.

DOMINION SMP SEXYMAN BRACKET: ROUND 2, MATCH 1

I usually put something here to compare and contrast the two candidates but honestly I can't think of anything super compelling for these two. Both stellar builders, both have a bit of a silly streak, both do a little murder as a treat? I dunno. I do know that I love them, which is why it's a shame one of them will be leaving the bracket soon.

(Remember: Consider your personal qualifications for a Tumblr or MCYTblr sexyman when voting, not just who you like more/who's more popular!)

KNOW YOUR CANDIDATES:

Was cursed for stealing one thing too many by the Oracle and is now a genie that has to fulfill other people's wishes, apparently. Is weirdly well-adjusted despite this.

Joy

Origin: Witch

Got kicked out of her home village for doing necromancy. Either carries a grudge about this and is hiding it decently well or is totally fine with it and the murderous urges are completely unrelated.

Dies on the server. A lot. Has a permanent gravestone somewhere because of this. She does make the best potions though! She also... makes them out of a van... in the desert... very normal.

Had a pet ravager named Gertrude who went missing. Is very upset about this and very willing to commit murder on her search for dear Gertie.

[dominionsweep]

Also, just so everyone knows, now that I have written out all those character profiles and skin alt text descriptions I will not be changing them -- they're staying the same each round, you'll just see them in different orders.

Otherwise I would have to write even more descriptions for every round and, sorry, I am not that insane.

That said, just because the dossiers aren't going to change doesn't mean they're going away in the next round -- like I said, they'll be remaining in the posts to help people know who they're voting on!

Round 1 polls will be up in a bit -- I'm out of the house at the moment and still need to fill in a couple last things.

(Edit -- turns out with a little bit of shenanigans I was actually able to get everything done on mobile! Polls going up now.)

[dominionsweep]

DOMINION SMP SEXYMAN BRACKET: ROUND 1, MATCH 8

And why they ourple.

(Remember: Consider your personal qualifications for a Tumblr or MCYTblr sexyman when voting, not just who you like more/who's more popular!)

KNOW YOUR CANDIDATES:

Grady

Origin: Enderian

Blacksmith whose civilization was pushed out of the end as a result of shulkers taking over the end cities (unclear if this was a war or an invasive species situation). Immediately starts beef with the local dragonborn and then somehow ends up her right-hand man once she's elected queen of the server.

As of Season 2, runs evil OSHA the HOA of Dominion, which is called POOPA and stands for something I do not remember. Is extremely particular and harsh on anything that violates POOPA guidelines. Constantly threatening to write people up. Also has received a command from maybe the moon to build a giant all-seeing-eye bridge, which is a super normal thing to do. Really cool. Really normal.

Memelord tendencies tempered only by his ability to keep a straight face. Voted canonically most likely to make an "I hardly knew 'er" joke. Ran a tavern that managed to serve chicken nuggets exactly once before the apocalypse happened.

Shadow

Origin: Witherborn

Hitman for hire and probably one of the best PvPers on the server, able to hold his own in a 2v1 vs Jamie and Grady at one point. Worked as an enforcer for the crown but could very much still be bought if you know what you're doing.

Struggled a lot with his urges towards chaos. Likes explosions but is technically not a Witherborn by birth and very much had to deal with the fallout of those two sides warring. Has a consistent soft spot for Sneve.

DOMINION SMP SEXYMAN BRACKET: ROUND 1, MATCH 7

Girl formerly possessed by the Void and guy who is made of butter. Yeah. Sure. This seems like a fair match.

(Remember: Consider your personal qualifications for a Tumblr or MCYTblr sexyman when voting, not just who you like more/who's more popular!)

KNOW YOUR CANDIDATES:

Jamie

Origin: Dragonborn

Elected queen of the server early into Season 1, and almost immediately implements a tax of "give me all your diamonds, yes all of them, all your diamond gear also, and do it every two weeks while you're at it."

Tried to stop everyone from killing the Ender Dragon, failed, exploded, and Came Back Wrong (aka, possessed by the Void). Able to do a really creepy voice filter whenever she wants and starts sacrificing animals to the Void during this time, as well as continuing to hoard diamonds.

Eventually exorcised via the combined effort of all Dominion members. Except she doesn't remember being evil. And then the apocalypse happens, she explodes again, and now she's a resident of the Outer End with no memory of anything that happened in the entire series. So that went great.

Sneve

Origin: Blazeborn

His character name is canonically Barry the Buttery Blazeborn. Everyone just calls him Sneve anyway. Despite being immune to fire he kind of wants to blow up the sun. Very shitposty video style.

Undoubtedly holds the record for "person that has to be reminded that Dominion is family friendly the most times." Quite possibly worse than other unrelated CCs at this in terms of toeing the line.

Can sneeze fire as of Season 2, and also has a glorious mustache in place of his perpetual :D face. His voice sounds exactly like how you would expect someone named Sneve to sound.

[dominionsweep]

DOMINION SMP SEXYMAN BRACKET: ROUND 1, MATCH 6

Pure of heart? Questionable. Dumb of ass? You know it. As befitting of any MCYTblr sexyman bracket and/or server with limited lives run by Grian, we're pitting the gay Scottish angel up against the gal who puts the "girlboss" in Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss! (And also the "gaslight" part. She's just not as good at it.)

(Remember: Consider your personal qualifications for a Tumblr or MCYTblr sexyman when voting, not just who you like more/who's more popular!)

KNOW YOUR CANDIDATES:

Taneesha

Origin: Ramling(?)

Amnesiac raised by goats after she fell from the sky into a crater, or at least found and then sent out into the world by them. Has a penchant for lying, cheating, lying, reappropriating goods, and lying. Commits tax fraud. As of Season 2, either tracks snow everywhere or has innate Frost Walker.

Extremely chaotic but does care about her friends, probably, it's just very difficult to tell beneath the fact that she wants to cause so much chaos all of the time always. Gets in and out of trouble like she's doing constant QTEs for it.

Is maybe a little possessed by the Void currently? Getting urges to kill people with End crystals but is mostly fending off those urges. Being possessed will not stop her from doing her favorite activity (messing with other people) but she doesn't want to actually kill anyone.

Nuke

Origin: Elytrian(?)

Direct descendant of Icarus that came down from the heavens to just sort of hang out on Dominion proper. They have security cameras up there, apparently. Also his uncle is Thor.

Wants everyone to get along so, so badly, and will take whatever sides he can in order to try and bring people together. This frequently gets him into more trouble than it does out of trouble but he's trying his best.

Slept through the apocalypse and was told by the Oracle that he'd find his friends if he took a leap of faith. Interpreted this as needing to jump into the End Void. Did wake up at the new spawn eventually, it just took him four months and also his wings don't work now.

[dominionsweep]

DOMINION SMP SEXYMAN BRACKET: ROUND 1, MATCH 5

What a match -- the ghost with the most (issues) vs the cutest person with murderous urges you'll ever meet! And they've both got amnesia to boot!

(Remember: Consider your personal qualifications for a Tumblr or MCYTblr sexyman when voting, not just who you like more/who's more popular!)

KNOW YOUR CANDIDATES:

Viking

Origin: Phantom

An amnesiac ghost who was in the world before anyone else, but unable to interact with them or the world in any meaningful way... until the dragon was killed, that is.

Extremely cheerful, even when he really, really shouldn't be. Loves making new friends. Loves jumpscaring people. Loves letting out an evil giggle on occasion and thinks it's kind of funny when people are freaked out by it. His ass is not a reliable narrator.

Is not doing so great, mentally. Has murderous urges that he usually doesn't give into and has evil monologue urges that he often gives into. Supposedly a weird book did this to him. Supposedly if he opens the weird book again he may literally split in half.

Red

Origin: Wolf

Doesn't remember how she got to this world, but was adopted by wolves and learned their ways. Howls at the moon as frequently as possible. Gets the zoomies during full moons, and sometimes also just at random.

Cheerful, friendly, and has a cottagecore aesthetic that she commits to as much as possible. Loves getting new wolf pals. Didn't realize the world was inhabited and thought everyone else's builds were just weird structures until she literally met other members of the server.

May want to eat Taneesha because she smells like she'd taste really good, which I'm sure is just a one-off joke and not indicative of anything darker under the surface.

[dominionsweep]

DOMINION SMP SEXYMAN BRACKET: ROUND 1, MATCH 4

We're pitting Scenario SMP people against each other right off the bat because it's funny. It's the King in the North vs the King in the South! Or, alternately, just some guy and just some guy, because this is Dominion.

(Remember: Consider your personal qualifications for a Tumblr or MCYTblr sexyman when voting, not just who you like more/who's more popular!)

KNOW YOUR CANDIDATES:

Ryan

Origin: Iron Golem

No episodes yet, but appeared during a very eventful livestream! Also has the fastest known turn-around from appearance to fanart (under 45 minutes, because the fandom was challenged and took up the challenge).

Protector of a desert village who may or may not be extremely rusty in more ways than one. Doesn't have a lot of other characterization but, if we're going by what's been seen of him in other SMPs, is way smarter than he looks.

Every time someone draws a human version of Ryan you are adding to his sexyman cred in the same way someone drawing anyone else that is just a Shape would be.

Legundo

Origin: Piglin

A natural leader sent to the overworld by his people in order to attempt to take it over by any means necessary. Heard "by any means" and decided on capitalism over brute force, though he's not above murder if that gets him a little further.

Rival to like half the people on the server and somehow still in almost everyone's good books despite this. Fix built him a desert for his new casino. He's going to call it Mas Vegas.

Constantly shaking in the overworld due to oxygen poisoning and not, contrary to popular belief, barely contained fear and/or rage.

[dominionsweep]

DOMINION SMP SEXYMAN BRACKET: ROUND 1, MATCH 3

Originally I said something like "you did this (no, seriously, you voted on this -- these are the candidates chosen from the preliminary rounds)!" for this bit. That's less accurate than it was before, but it's still kind of accurate, so: you did this. Now you must do it again. Choose.

(Remember: Consider your personal qualifications for a Tumblr or MCYTblr sexyman when voting, not just who you like more/who's more popular!)

Mongo

Origin: Merling

Normally a wandering trader, currently the king of the ocean! Is a fish. Is beloved by pretty much everyone on the server but tends to be a bit wary of the others.

Enjoys the finer things in life such as making cool mixtapes and having as much money as possible. Built a prismarine farm. Got his ocean stolen by Fix and then decided it looked cooler that way, so he never actually asked for it back.

Half of Season 2's local HOA, called POOPA, and is mainly using that power to get people to buy beetroots in order to bribe their way out of getting written up for violations, which somehow has not ended up reflecting badly on him in the slightest.

[dominionsweep]

DOMINION SMP SEXYMAN BRACKET: ROUND 1, MATCH 2

Remember to support women in STEAM (Stealing, Treachery, Execution, Arson, and Murder)!

(Remember: Consider your personal qualifications for a Tumblr or MCYTblr sexyman when voting, not just who you like more/who's more popular!)

KNOW YOUR CANDIDATES:

Kiply

Origin: Fairy

Doesn't have any Dominion episodes out of her own yet, but has made appearances in several other people's episodes. Commands an army of bees.

The most loudmouthed unreliable narrator you will ever see. Plays mostly on a Lifesteal-style modded server and I do not trust her recounting of events for even a second. Hotheaded and always down to cause as much chaos as possible.

Yes, she is in fact wearing a blindfold, no, this somehow does not impact her ability to see.

Joy

Origin: Witch

Got kicked out of her home village for doing necromancy. Either carries a grudge about this and is hiding it decently well or is totally fine with it and the murderous urges are completely unrelated.

Dies on the server. A lot. Has a permanent gravestone somewhere because of this. She does make the best potions though! She also... makes them out of a van... in the desert... very normal.

Had a pet ravager named Gertrude who went missing. Is very upset about this and very willing to commit murder on her search for dear Gertie.
