GRAND FINALS OF TUMBLR'S FASHION DISASTER TOURNAMENT GOLDEN CROC AWARDS 2023
Matchup #7.1: Cecil Gershwin Palmer (Welcome to Night Vale) vs Teruki Hanazawa (Mob Psycho 100)
This is it! From 64 initial contenders, we're down to the final 2. Trexel Geistman from Stellar Firma took the third spot already, but who will be first on the podium? Who deserves a nice pair of golden crocs for just how BAD their fashion sense is?
For one last time, let's review their Fashion Crimes!
On the left side, rises Cecil Gershwin Palmer. Crowned the Tumblr sexyman, iconic enough to make it into so many tournaments, is he also Disastrous enough to win here? His run in this competition so far has been smooth, full of sweeps even against the toughest contenders. He has been often nominated for (all canonically):
his first date outfit being described as "my best tunic and furry pants"
wearing capri pants and a cummerbund to work
wearing yellow sponge clogs, cat ears, and tights to the opera
wearing "a black tuxedo and white bow tie, open-toed polished black shoes, a burgundy velvet cape, earrings made from repurposed car keys, and a top hat with furry tassels hanging from the brim" to his wedding
going to sleep in "a honeycomb hat, a Hawaiian shirt, and leather pants"
On the right, we have Teru. Oh Teru. While his fashion sense has inspired much art from his voters, he struggled in a couple of matchups, but Terunation always pulled through - even in the last 10 minutes in one case. Can he take down Cecil? Can he succeed where Reigen failed? Here are a few of his (illustrated) Fashion Crimes:
wearing a three foot wig which causes him to resemble a cactus (above)
picking out that horrible monkey shirt that you could see in the Mob poll for Mob (it was so bad it defeated god)
certain... official promo art and official fanbook outfits (below)
This poll will last for a WEEK per democratic choice from y'all, so you have tons of time to make and share that propaganda!

ROUND 3
Matchup #3.5: Gabriel Agreste (Miraculous Ladybug) vs Teru Hanazawa (Mob Psycho 100)
Why do I feel like this is gonna be a bloodbath
On the left, we see a fashion designer. Yes. This is a fashion designer. Gabriel Agreste from Miraculous Ladybug! He conquered a vampire and Satan himself already, but can he stand against Teru? With multiple nominations, he has made it into the bracket for:
the monarch outfit (above) and all other Hawkmoth outfits
that "fucking peppermint tie & bright red pants (below)
the all-white skin-tight suit with pointy shoes" (below)
triangle hair which he often hides under a shiny bald cap
villain costumes that he creates for others
Beside him is Teru. Oh Teru. Let's list some of his Fashion Crimes, shall we? Before the tournament, he was frequently nominated for:
wearing a three foot wig which causes him to resemble a cactus (above)
picking out that horrible monkey shirt that you could see in the Mob poll for Mob
certain... official promo art and official fanbook outfits (below)
send propaganda if you have other outfits to point out!

ROUND 5 (SEMIFINALS)
Matchup #5.2: Teru Hanazawa (Mob Psycho 100) vs Trexel Geistman (Stellar Firma) vs Miuccia Miuller (Jojo's Bizarre Adventure)
The other Great Three! By now, we can probably all agree that their Fashion is at the very least questionable, but who's the worst? Who deserves a spot in the finals, to compete for the Tumblr's no. 1 Fashion Disaster title? There can only be one!
On the left side, we see Teru. Oh Teru. His fashion sense brought down even Mr. Agreste, temporarily, but can he stand against his powerful semifinals competition? Here are a few of his (illustrated) Fashion Crimes:
wearing a three foot wig which causes him to resemble a cactus (above)
picking out that horrible monkey shirt that you could see in the Mob poll for Mob (it was so bad it defeated god)
certain... official promo art and official fanbook outfits (below)
In the middle, Trexel Geistman from the podcast Stellar Firma has just returned from the Losers land, by popular vote, to try again! As you let me know, his notable Fashion Choices include:
wearing three pairs of sunglasses and four hats simultaneously, as well as multicolored wigs he bathes in
gills surgically implanted in armpits
carrying around a dead fish in a fanny pack
being implied to have pocket vermin
being depicted in a variety of Interesting Outfits by fanartists and cosplayers! -> full propaganda posts we received for more info can be found here and here! Also, a fine audio selection documenting his Fashion & Hygiene Crimes can be found here!
Finally, on the right, stands menacingly Miuccia or Miu Miu, from the most recently animated Jojo part. Curious what her nomination listed among her Fashion Sins?
her skirt has upside down text that says "h8t" and "shotfud"
are those eyeballs???
her eyebrows,,,
her coat looks vaguely like intestines (or brain I guess??)
her hair "looks like a bolt hit her in a cartoon"
Make your judgment: whose Outfits deserve jail time?

THIRD PLACE: FINAL BATTLE!!
Matchup #6.3: Gabriel Agreste (Miraculous Ladybug) vs Trexel Geistman (Stellar Firma)
One spot left on the podium, two contenders! Before the Grand Finals, let's see who takes the bronze medal home!
On the left, we see a fashion designer & our resident meme, Gabriel Swaglesste Agreste from Miraculous Ladybug! Throughout the tournament, he conquered a vampire, Satan himself, and even one teenager. His presence was iconic enough to warrant its own propaganda tag and inspire super detailed meme coverage. With multiple nominations, he has made it into the bracket for:
the monarch outfit (above) and all other Hawkmoth outfits (one below, for other ones, click on the links!)
that "fucking peppermint tie & bright red pants (below)
the all-white skin-tight suit with pointy shoes" (below)
triangle hair which he often hides under a shiny bald cap
villain costumes that he creates for others
On the right, we have Trexel Geistman from the podcast Stellar Firma: yet another powerful presence in the tournament. While Gabe inspired memes, Trexel inspired art and even fanfiction: voting Trexel was supported even by his VA and Stellar Firma creator. Ultimately, Trexel was taken out by Teru, having been in the lead until the last 10 minutes of the semifinals voting. As you let me know, his notable Fashion Choices include:
wearing three pairs of sunglasses and four hats simultaneously, as well as multicolored wigs he bathes in
gills surgically implanted in armpits
carrying around a dead fish in a fanny pack
being implied to have pocket vermin
being depicted in a variety of Interesting Outfits by fanartists and cosplayers! -> full propaganda posts we received for more info can be found here and here! Also, a fine audio selection documenting his Fashion & Hygiene Crimes can be found here!
Let the third place voting begin! May the Worst Dressed win

Matchup #5.1: Pannacotta Fugo (Jojo's Bizarre Adventure) vs Gabriel Agreste (Miraculous Ladybug) vs Cecil Gershwin Palmer (Welcome to Night Vale)
The holy trinity of Fashion Disastrousness. In the past weeks, they have left so many others in the dust on their way here, and finally, they have to face each other. Only one of them will enter the finals, but which one?
Our first contender is a lil traumatized angry fork-wielding mafia boy: Pannacotta Fugo. According to your nominations, what is it about his outfits that deserves the title of the One Fashion Disaster to rule them all?
he cuts holes in the suits he wears, by choice, until he looks like a slice of swiss cheese - especially in the anime, where his color scheme is green
additionally, people pointed out his strawberry shoes, the purple tie tucked UNDER his shirt, strawberry earrings, and "spaghetti hair"
In the middle, we see a fashion designer. Yes. This is a fashion designer. Our resident meme, Gabriel Swaglesste Agreste from Miraculous Ladybug! He conquered a vampire and Satan himself already, but seems to be losing against teenagers, so will he yield to Fugo? With multiple nominations, he has made it into the bracket for:
the monarch outfit (above) and all other Hawkmoth outfits (one below, for other ones, click on the links!)
that "fucking peppermint tie & bright red pants (below)
the all-white skin-tight suit with pointy shoes" (below)
triangle hair which he often hides under a shiny bald cap
villain costumes that he creates for others
Last but not least, on the right, rises Cecil Gershwin Palmer. Crowned the Tumblr sexyman, is he also Disastrous enough to win here and avenge his husband, voted out before because of Gabriel? He has been often nominated for (all canonically):
his first date outfit being described as "my best tunic and furry pants"
wearing capri pants and a cummerbund to work
wearing yellow sponge clogs, cat ears, and tights to the opera
wearing "a black tuxedo and white bow tie, open-toed polished black shoes, a burgundy velvet cape, earrings made from repurposed car keys, and a top hat with furry tassels hanging from the brim" to his wedding
going to sleep in "a honeycomb hat, a Hawaiian shirt, and leather pants"
It's time to make your choice!
