#cat tournament

[gamercats-fight]

Hello, I have decided to make video game cats fight! The rules for submission are simple:

The cat must be from a video game.

I am not accepting in real life cats that are associated with video games, I want the cats from inside the game.

It can be any type of cat! Tigers, robo cats, and saber tooth tigers will count!

Submit one cat at a time, please!!

I am not sure how long the form will be up, depends on how quickly I get submissions.

Thank you for participating and have fun!!

[little-cat-showdown]

Welcome to the Little Cat Showdown!!!

This is a tournament to determine the best Little Cat out there!!! This is for all members of the Felidae family except for Felis catus and the Panthera genus. The bracket is based on the Wikipedia page for Felidae. This is a single-elimination 33 team bracket, and to make the numbers easiest all three lynx species will go against each other in the first round. All polls will be tagged with #little cat showdown poll. Polls will last one week and the first round begins today, May 4. The cats were seeded based on how popular I personally think they are, and how long I've known they exist.

The mascot of the tournament is my beautiful tiger boy Lunar Apples Module (Luna for short). He has never seen any of them in his life but you can clearly tell he's related to them by the way he majestically hunts crickets in the summertime (he is an indoor cat who goes on walks on a leash and I don't think he's ever even killed a cricket. he doesn't know what to do when he catches a cricket. he just gets confused. I love him so much)

Here is the bracket!!

PROPAGANDA UNDER THE CUT: [SPOILERS AHEAD]

OLD MAN YAOI BRACKET ROUND 3

Propaganda:

Ravenpaw/Barley:

kitties who were outcast from previous groups they were a part of and find and live with each other. they are canonical mates even though theyre both dudes. they grow old together, but ravenpaw gets cancer and dies before barley (he lives to be considered old in warrior cats years). however ravenpaw wanted to be in the same kitty afterlife that barley will go to, so they can be together in kitty afterlife. barley is still alive though as far as we know and might be the oldest living cat in the series now. also i just think its funny to call little kitty cats "old man yaoi"

Bob Zanotto/Helmut Fullbear:

THEY LITERALLY MADE MR CRY THE FIRST TIME I PLAYED THE GAME. THEY LOVE EACH OTHER SO MUCH AND THEY FINALLY GET TO BE HAPPY TOGETHER. YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH THEY MEAN TO ME.

they are married in canon and are epic and amazing. they had sad canon events where bob thought helmut was dead for like 30 years or something but helmut WASN'T dead his brain was still alive and they are reunited in the game first by way of stealing an evil dictator's body and then later on they put helmut's brain in a ball as a temporary fix while they go out to find his body which has been frozen in ice. the game forces you to walk through bob's memory of saying his vows at their wedding ceremony and it's seriously some of the most romantic and heartwarming shit i've ever heard, especially "just when i thought i was turning to seed, you made me bloom again" like my god. i love them

they're gay and old as hell!!!! there's a level dedicated to their wedding!!!

Helmut is voiced by Jack Black and is currently a brain in a ball, and Bob knows him so well that the mental image of him in his drunken mind says things Bob KNOWS the real Helmut would never say. Also Helmut is temporarily in the body of a guy voiced by Elijah Wood-

Round 1 - Side B

firestar art by @kudos-si-do

Propaganda below ⬇️

Kirei

He fucked up so many people's lives so badly in just one decade (not on purpose) that the universe put him in the summoning pool of all world influencing souls. He doesnt really have any special powers but he does serve as a vessel for rasputin at one point. He's the guy who says "people die when they are killed"

please please please there's literally a type moon character in the gif on the top of this form so it's typemoonphobic if none of them get in but it shouldn't be her it should be kirei bc he's 50x funnier & more iconic than jeanne. funny lil murder priest who's fucking THE gilgamesh (from the epic of) in the church basement and dies in a knife fight w a 17 year old whose dad he wanted to fuck back in '94 before realizing that he was actually kinda lame and he's been bitter abt it ever since. he has an orphan torture factory in his basement but he's also canonically good at being a priest. he's so funny you should def try his mapo tofu i swear it's totally safe for human consumption and not made with any california reapers. did i mention he's a deadbeat dad.

Priest claims to be Pro Life to make Sakura Matou the most miserable girl on the planet, but he dies anyway.

bro became a catholic because he loves suffering

He’s a priest. Kind of. Not a very good priest obviously. There is something seriously wrong and fucked up with that man. It’s so entertaining.

he's gotta be one of the most insane catholic men ever with a very in-depth and interesting relationship with his religion and his relationship with god also he's the sexiest man ever to be conceptualized in the known universe and all of time

Will never forget the 40+ minute monologue in heavens feel being a thinly veiled metaphor for abortion

he wants to torment churchgoers and make them face their failures and suffering but all he ends up doing is motivate them to improve themselves. cringefail moment for him

he's absolutely insane. the coldhearted mercenary that barely reacts to anything is terrified of kirei. he's super fucked up. his ult in stay night is literally him channeling divine power into something called kyrie eleison. he's the vessel of rasputin (on account of being a priest with a huge....no i shant say) the biblical beast in grand order among other things. he gets drunk with and tops gilgamesh from the epic of gilgamesh in the church basement after gilgamesh from the epic of gilgamesh bats his eyes a little too hard at kirei in some of the horniest shot scenes ive ever seen. he also used to be a heretical "fixer" for the church, cleaning up scenes that would expose shit to the public. uhh what else. he holds cool swords between his fingers like a kid pretending to be wolverine but in my favorite route he just squares the hell up with the protagonist and they fight to the death outside planned parenthood

Firestar

Kitty jesus, he believes in starclan which is the kitty version of heaven/god and yea. All the warrior cats characters except those outside the clans or those that are atheist believe in the kitty heaven and would irl be bri-ish and christian as hell so. The authors are all older british christian women and so the way starclan is written is like undoubtedly that.

The main religion in the series is extremely catholic coded. Most clan cats believe in Starclan and the Dark Forest(or heaven and hell). There is a set of rule they must uphold and follow, where following them leads to heaven and breaking them leads to hell. Their religious leaders are sworn to celibacy, and the punishments that "code breakers"(or cats who break the rules) face are extremely similar to situations people with religious trauma have gone through.

OP notes: apparently converted to avoid getting his balls cut?? Idk. The discord yet wild for firestar so I had to include him because it's hilarious hehehe

ROUND 3: FUCK THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE

Baron Humbert von Gikkingen (cat; The Cat Returns) vs. Krtek the Mole (mole; Krtek the Mole)

PROPAGANDA UNDER THE CUT!

Baron:

"Gentleman cat my beloved 🧡 the only orange cat with braincells"

Krtek:

"I neeeed him to make it you don't understand"

"Krteček is really good! some epizodes are on youtube and in them they dont speak, so there is no language barrier"

he went to space

[sexymancouldabeen]

Tumblr Sexyman, a title bestowed unto only the (un)lucky few.  Oncler, sans, Bill Cipher, Reigen, Komaeda, dear god wheatley somehow, i think maybe prussia, that spider from hotel dusk or whatever, there are a good handful to keep track of.

However, to counter balance that, there are hundreds if not thousands of characters that, with different circumstances, could have become Tumblr Sexymen, but fortunately evaded such infamy.

UNTIL TODAY!

May I present to you, the TUMBLR SEXYMAN-COULDABEEN TOURNAMENT!

32 Competitors that could have totally been Tumblr sexymen, whether they match the tropes or simply have the vibes, but never got the chance. Some, due to another character stealing their spotlight, others, from a franchise obscure enough that nobody noticed or they didn’t get reach outside of their own fandom, and others, simply nobody realized their true potential. Who will win and earn the ultimate title of the ultimate sexyman couldabeen?

(I would love to say the winner gets to legally be considered a tumblr sexyman for real but i sadly do not have that authority.)

Voting starts on Wednesday!

mini-bracket 4, match 1

Cat (Ghost Trick): idk how to talk about him without spoilers so uhh ghost trick fans propaganda and info is very much appreciated! as much as you can *without spoilers*

[gamercats-fight]

Fat Cat from FINAL FANTASY XIV ONLINE vs His Majesty from Baldur's Gate 3. Vote for your fav!!

Need help picking? Check down here!

Fat Cat - Square Enix - 2014 - Calico cat:

Chonky mother fucker, just look at him, he is peak perfection, I love him

And not official propaganda but I guess this is his mother:

His Majesty - Larian Studios - 2023 - Sphynx cat:

-His Majesty is a pampered little kitty who lives in an inn in the middle of a cursed land he doesn’t care about. If you talk to him with speak with animals on he will say “hiss I say! Hiss!” And tell you to get out of his territory. You can tell him you’re here to admire his beauty and he will let you look at him and tell him he’s a beautiful cat. When the game first came out he was a hairless cat, which was apparently a mistake when making the game and he was given the appearance of another cat in the game instead of his own, so the game developers “fixed” it in a patch and made him furry. This sparked outrage in the fan community and everyone was demanding that they “Shave His Majesty”. A few days later they released a hotfix to shave his majesty and return him to his glorious furless self. 

-he is a very sweet boy

Cat Tournament Round 1 - Cubby vs Scootaloo

I was gonna add propaganda but you'll just have to go based on how cute they are or something 💖

[gentle-giant-swag]

GENTLE GIANT SWAG BLUEBERRY BRACKET FINALS

THE IRON GIANT (the iron giant) vs BIG THE CAT (sonic the hedgehog)

Propaganda under the cut

Also extra propaganda is very much recommended, just don’t put it in the tags!

The iron giant

It's been ages since I've seen the movie, but I remember he's warm and gentle throughout the entire thing

love them/him/it/whatever so so sos so sososoosooo much. all my heart and soul. no one has ever been mroe good or more gentle or more beautiful than the iron giant. i cried literally about 2 and a half months ago just reading the wikipedia summary for the movie thats how strong the residual emotional residue of this movie i saw one time like a decade ago is. best fictional character ever. my one true love of my life ahhhhhh. thanks for definitely including him <3<3<3

Big the cat

His name is Big and he is big. He is also very nice and mostly just fishes with froggy and shows up places randomly :] I am thoroughly convinced Big has never done wrong in his life.
