3rd place Ophelia!

(Art bu Vera Brosgol, from To Be Or Not To Be)

Oh, that's lovely!

Sent to the Seaside it is!

Question for the masses

I've vastly enjoyed this tournament (and learned a lot about your beloved characters). Now that it's nearly over, I have two main ideas for what to do with this blog next, and I'd like your feedback to let me know which one to do first.

(Right now I'm very partial to "they should be sent to the seaside for their health" but I'm nosy and want to see what y'all think.)

And we have a winner! A round of applause, please, for Nico Robin from One Piece, who really, really should have been at the club!

Second-place winner is Trafalgar Law, also from One Piece, and third place is Ophelia from Hamlet.

This tournament has been a lot of fun to host, and I hope to get the next one up and running as soon as I can. Thank you!

Special Losers' Bracket (For Third Place): They Should Have Been At The Club Tournament

[should-have-been-at-the-club]

Round 6 (Finals): They Should Have Been At The Club Tournament

Propaganda below the cut.

Propaganda for Nico Robin:

Left by her mother with her abusive aunt, got called a monster for her weird powers and only found solace at the library studying with the scholars there, but they left her out of their biggest main researcher of Forbidden History because the government kills whoever studies it. Made a giant friend anyway, just in time for the government to come and blow up the entire island because of the Forbidden History, leaving her the only survivor. They put a huge bounty on her head (she was 8), meaning she was never safe and couldn't trust anyone, surviving by betraying people before they could betray her, until twenty (20) years later when she finally met people she could trust.

Propaganda for Trafalgar Law:

(CW genocide mention)

One: Government incompetence killed everyone he ever knew or loved, tried to end his life by joining a pirate crew run by an actual sociopath, got saved by said pirate's brother, watched the pirate captain kill his savior in an attempt to save him, then swore vengeance on the pirate and held that grudge for like 13 years.

Two: Was too serious as a kid already, even before his whole family and town was slaughtered in a genocide. Anyway, that was long ago. He's still too serious. Isn't really one to join festivities, but he should. He should be at the club, have some fun for a change.

And with that, we have reached the final matchup! One Piece character meets One Piece character in the last bracket to decide who gets to go to the club.

Nico Robin vs Trafalgar D. Law

(I will update the chart in a few days when my computer is less broken)
