Round 1, Match 22

Andrew and Ashley Graves (The Coffin of Andy and Leyley) vs Belzedar (The Belgariad)

Propaganda under break

Andrew and Ashley Graves

Both ate their parents after breaking into their new home. Also there's some demon summoning they did, literally selling their victim's souls to the demon they made a deal with. Notable quote from Ashley: "We offer you that guy's soul!"

Ashley - overall a horrible person, implied undiagnosed sociopath who threatened her brother's girlfriend, emotionally manipulates and actively provokes her brother, recently began murdering people she doesn't like, cannibalizes people she murders.

Andrew - enables his sister's worse habits (when he thinks it doesn't involve him), uses plausible deniability by blaming his sister for his actions (despite the fact that he had the freedom to ignore her ideas in many cases), also a cannibal.

Belzedar

They turned traitor against their adopted brothers in a war of gods and magic.

It's suspected in universe that before their betrayal was know, they convinced one of their brothers to commit suicide.

[incorrect-belgariad]

The other disciples: It's funny how you two are such good friends. Didn't he hate you at first?

Belgarath: Beldin hates everybody at first. It's his way of reaching out to people.

John Hurt as Zedar, The Apostate

"…the white-haired man before her was not indeed [Belgarath], but rather someone who looked so much like him that they could easily pass for brothers."

After half a day we have 40 submissions, with 31 unique entries! That's really great! I wasn't sure how long I'd have to have submissions open for but at this rate I'm thinking a week. We've got enough to do a tournament already but I want to see if we can make it bigger.

There's been some submissions with both the "good" and "bad" siblings together, and other where it's just the "bad" one(s) listed. Either way is great!

One submission I'm a bit unsure about is Belzedar. I'm not familiar with the Belgariad series, and looking it up I'm not sure who his adoptive family are meant to be. Are the Disciples of Aldur like a family?

[best-nun-tournament]

With submissions about to close, I'm going through the pictures for each of them. Most have links to images, or I've been able to find some official or fan art, but there's a few I haven't been able to track down. If you can find any, send it as a DM or ask, otherwise I'll have to use book covers or series logos for them

Belzedar, from The Belgariad

Torak, from The Belgariad (I've got a book cover with him but it's kind of low res)

Bardas and Gorgas Loredan, from The Fencer Trilogy

Helen and Richard Gansey, from The Raven Cycle

If it's fan art, I'd like to know that the artist is OK with their work being used here.

[incorrect-belgariad]

Belgarath: As you know, I keep a list of my friends in order of how likely they are to betray me.

Belzedar: Where am I on that list?

Belgarath: Well I can’t tell you that, because then you’ll quickly move up or down depending on your reaction.

[incorrect-belgariad]

Belgarath: And also, could you please try to not Belzedar this into an even worse situation?

Zedar: Did you just use my name as a verb?

[incorrect-belgariad]

Belgarath: My brother really hates it when I shorten his name to Dick…

Belgarath: Mostly because his name is Belzedar…

[incorrect-belgariad]

[Animal dies in a movie]

Belgarath: God, I wish that were me.

Belzedar: Belgarath’s a furry!

Belgarath: Wait, no-

[incorrect-belgariad]

Belgarath: [communicating through their minds] Hello?

Zedar: It’s Belzedar.

Belgarath: What did he do this time?

Zedar: No, Belgarath, it’s me, Belzedar.

Belgarath: ...What did you do this time?

[incorrect-belgariad]

Belgarath: What's the most inspiring thing I've ever said to you?

All the other disciples of Aldur (except Belzedar): “Don't be an idiot." Changed my life.
