He slayed that outfit

Olivia: Congrats to Zee for being total drama’s first teen parent

She’s so cute and I just know that Zee smuggled her off the island.

I like to think Zee snuck her home. The rabies are nothing but a loveable character quirk.

Why you should vote for each of them and full art below!

Khastunet "Cass Mask" Djeserit (species: half Krok, all mummy, @mudstoneabyss)

"Ok listen. He's a Krokotopian prince. he's got mommy issues. he dies but he's cursed so he's not *dead*. His tomb gets raided by some Marleybonians and his casket brought to Cool Ranch where they think if they start some kind of new showcase there they can make a quick buck. But oops! Mummy incident! He's back and real mad at these guys and don't worry he does deal with them, but afterwards hes still kind of just in this new place now but rather than be upset about it he goes. well when in Rome. and becomes a cowboy. So he's an undead cowboy prince who hates the British and idk that's pretty cool. He's even transgender"

Wood/Woodie/Woodrow (species: construct, by @aberrantparadox, art by @kurofae)

"Woodrow isn't a human, and Woodie isn't a person, though they do like to roleplay as one. Are they cool? What are they? They aren't even sure. Woodie, Woodrow.... they're not even the being's names, simply names extrapolated from the common answer they give to the question of they are ("....uhm....I'm wood"). They're human shaped but not human looking, with a human heart but not human emotions, they're a machine in a literal sense but also a metaphorical one as they do do their duty as told, but they're also doing it of their free will - theyre certainly a thinking person but they aren't. It would be wrong though to say they're looking for real personhood, though, or to be utterly rid of personhood also - they're searching for something beyond that, and beyond the spiral too, they think. Something like the jungle of stardust they always see in their "dreams".

There's the factual part - as in, they're a wood mannequin made by Merle Ambrose to fight off Malistaire and other threats. Well, they're actually just plucked from Golem Tower and altered. Their concept was brought up before Malistaire went rogue, and then abandoned. Woodie is the golem, and the magic possessing it, and the heart of the fallen champion of Bartleby, and the heads. He is also none of these at any given time. It isn't his heart - it lives in their chest cavity with all their gears, things that belong to them, indubitably, and is theirs, as much as their heads are or aren't.

Their heads - each professor made a different swappable head distinctly tuned to their school of magic, so that their new champion could perfectly and easily master all the schools. They're necessary to channel the magic inherent in other tools, for someone/thing who otherwise has no magic within them. Each head feels different to use for Woodrow, gives different consequences and a different mindset, but the spirit doesn't become different beings, unless you define a being by its personality and magical energy - a common definition. Woodrow leaves it open. They can see out of any of the heads, or all at the same time, having 7-fold (and eventually 9-fold) vision. They don't need any attached to their body to move, think, or function, but they do need them to cast spells, and when in the field its better to keep at least one head attached just in case. Their weird sight also lets them see stranger things, like invisible beings, currents of magic, and other phenomena. They can't gape at any of that though, because they don't have a face, and they wouldnt anyway, because they came into the world that way and none of this is surprising. But it is a bit lonely.

Feelings are difficult when youre made of wood and don't have human sensations. Most emotions Woodie experiences are muted and overlaid with boredom or a sort of diffuse nothingness. But occasionally they do feel something properly, and that is the most vast thing in the world to them. They deeply care about other beings and will readily use violence to keep the majority safe. They're unsympathetic to those who hurt others out of hurt, but aren't cruel. Every being, secure in their self, breathing with lungs and gills and magic, even the evil ones, are a wonder to Woodrow, and like the person who once had his-but-not-his heart, protecting those beings in their perfect imperfection - just to look at them - just to look at them, it's everything, just to look at them...."

The Worst Trope Ever Showdown: Round 1, Side A

Hollywood Healing

Hero never becomes visibly injured and can recover completely from anything.

Propaganda:

Just... let serious injuries have long lasting consequences, okay? Okay.

Non-Human Non-Binary

Sapient nonhuman races that don't generally consider themselves male or female.

Propaganda:

It's a cop-out. An othering. A fundamental misunderstanding of how nonbinary and other gender nonconforming people fit into the human experience. And yet I hate that I can't truly hate it because it's where like 95% of our representation comes from.

[mcyt-gender-showdown]

[sadboytournament]

Welcome one and all! From the creator of @nexttopghost comes the Sadboy Showdown. I’m your host, The Poll Worker! Our goal here is to find the saddest, most traumatized, most mistreated little dudes and make them fight for the honor of tumblr’s favorite. I’m currently accepting submissions for the bracket under the following rules

1) For as much as we love ladies, this is a sad boy tournament. Your sad boy has to be a dude. They can be nonhuman though

2) No casts of characters! I don’t wanna see anyone put “the whole cast of supernatural,” your submission will be ignored!

3) No real people. That means No Alan Turings, no Bram Stokers. Mythology is ok, and bands that are explicitly characters (like Studio Killers or Steam Powered Giraffe) are also ok as long as they are EXPLICITLY characters

4) If there is a tie, we’ll do it again, if there’s a tie twice, we revive a guy from the previous round and whoever wins then moves forward. If we manage to get a three-way tie, then god help your soul

5) Have fun and send in your propaganda

Now give me your boys! The form will run until we get at least 32 entries

[monster-character-poll]

Welcome to the Monster Character Poll!

It’s time to see who the best monster truly is! In this tournament you get to submit your favorite monster, whether they’re from folklore, a book, or TV. Please read the rules before submitting. Submissions will close June 26th June 23rd. SUBMISSIONS CLOSED

Propaganda is allowed! Just please be nice to others when doing so. 

Submission Rules:

-In order to qualify as a monster, the character would have to be referred to or identify as such in their media

-Creatures such as demons, ghouls, and other nonhuman entities can count as a monster

-If a character was once human/is part human, they can likely still qualify for a monster (example: Jackson Jekyll/Holt Hyde from Monster High or Ken Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul)

-Overall there's a lot of leeway as to who can or can't be considered a monster, so feel free to ask questions if you're unsure!

-Feel free to submit multiple characters, but please don't submit the same one multiple times

-Sorry but no Harry Potter characters

-There are a few characters automatically getting in because I want to add them

This is not a serious poll, so please have fun!

[sea-swag-showdown]

Hello and Welcome to the SEA Swag Showdown!!

In which we pit two bad bitches together and making them fight!

This is a competition inspired by many other competitions and will be run via a tournament-style bracket and voted with Tumblr's poll feature! :)

I'm not sure how much characters I'll be putting in the bracket, so it'll depend on how many submissions I get!

Read and follow the rules before submitting through the link provided, please and thank you :]

Rules for the Submissions

Fictional characters only! No real people!

You can submit as many characters as you want, but please only submit each character once.

Spam submissions of the same character will not be counted.

Please only submit through the Google Form! Submissions sent to my ask box will not be counted.

Characters that are human that does not have a canon race but is implied/headcanoned as SEA might make it in depending on the number of submissions they have.

Unless the creature is based off of something from SEA, if the character is nonhuman, then they will not be counted.

While there are three characters I want to include, I also want to balance the bracket based on the number of submissions. So I will not be mentioning them until after I have closed the submission.

More rules will be added as needed!

Please do note that when you submit a character, I will be looking into the character and the media they're from.

The submission survey will hopefully close on the 31st of March at 11:00 PM WIB, so nominate your SEAsian blorbo while you still can!!

Quick mini ramble about Fuminori from Saya No Uta

Tw// murder, death, cannibalism

---

I feel like if you asked Fuminori if he likes or takes pleasure in killing people post brain trauma, it'd be the same as asking if someone if they like their job as an office desk worker - "it puts food on the table". It's not necessarily something he enjoys doing, but this *is* what he has to do.

Before then he'd probably reply reasonably and say "of course not", that isn't something he has to do, nor would he enjoy doing it to an innocent... at least pre-brain trauma.

Because until he meets Saya, Fuminori is a man who is driven by reason. Hell, even despite his growing resentment of his friends, he knows it's not exactly fair to be so hostile towards them as he knows that's not what they really look like, nor does he let them in on what he's going through.

But if you continue to have Fuminori stay as he is, with brain trauma, innocent or no, everyone is now a monster, and an especially reprehensible one if they threaten him or Saya. He can only see the ugly, the nasty, and reprehensible, even if everyone speaks clearly. Since he can't wait to be away from them, he can now only see what he finds bad about them. I'd say he only finds pleasure in killing them either because it's freeing to not let the binds of humanity stop him from doing as he pleases and/or because it's satisfying to be free of what are now nuisances.

He also says that in the final showdown, he wouldn't have any hesitancy killing Koji as he doesn't see him as human, and it'd be natural to kill him as he's an easy to perceive threat. A statement that subtly puts off Saya, but I'll get to that near the end, anyway...

This leads us to Yoh. He doesn't see a well-meaning, soft-spoken girl anymore, but now a petulant, meek, follower. Even when she's pretty again, he doesn't care about her as he's already seen the unsavorable side of her, and he'd thrown away humanity and reason. She is not human, nor a monster to him, but a non-threatening and cute pet.

The only one he truly sees as human, despite the knowledge she is isn't, is Saya. If he'd had a normal brain accident and seen her in her true form, he likely would've reacted the way everyone else had. But he saw her human in a world of nastiness. Even if he asks her to fix his mind and he's now in a cold, hard cell, and something nonhuman and grotesque is behind the door he can't make himself put off or frightened or weary because he's seen the humanity of that grotesque thing. It's not a monster, it's Saya.

Quinn Soulthorn (species: dryad, by @sentient-cloud)

"Quinn Soulthorn, a dryad of one of those spooky death trees that seem to be everywhere. He grew up in Avalon’s Wyrd over the corpse of one an unlucky member of the wild hunt, the spine of which makes up his harp, along with his own wood. He’s delighted to be allowed into Ravenwood and learn about the world outside of the Wyrd, even if he’s still really learning how people work. He’s not beating the unseelie allegations.

People tend to find him off putting. He’s far too eager to tell people about the beauty and inevitability of death, and he brings a kind of “stop raising so much undead you’re disturbing the role decomposition plays in the perpetual cycle of existence” vibe the other necromancers don’t like. Merle is especially wary of him, after all, was the Wyrd not the source of the horned crown that damned Avalon and introduced his pupil to Shadow magic in the first place?

He’s doing his best, he isn’t as oblivious to people’s hesitancy towards him as some may think. Additional fun facts: his pet “ghulture” is an undead Avalon crow that hung around the spooky death tm graveyard he popped up in. Whenever he takes root he leaves behind a mushroom circle. He even has trans swag. TtM (tree to male)"

The Best Trope Ever Showdown: Round 1, Side A

Starfish Aliens

Propaganda:

Because I'm sick of unrealistically humanlike aliens who can somehow breed with humans and are psychologically and in terms of sensing the world just like people, if you want to tell a story of different human cultures encountering each other you can just write a fantasy work, when you are choosing to write aliens you should be creative with just how alien you can make them, especially if you can take inspiration from the weirdness of animals on earth and explore just what it would be like to be a sapient being under those parameters, and communication with humans as such.

Outlaw Couple

No propaganda was submitted.

FRANKIE STEIN FOR IT/ITS SWAG BRACKET

Alright listen up monster high fandom,

We may have gotten frankie pretty far through the nonbinary swag showdown with minimal effort but we're gonna need to work even harder for it to get through this one. We know it, we love it, and we can get it to win!

Reasons to vote them!!

It's the kind of character almost everyone at least is aware of. Most people know of monster high, even if they don't know anything about it.

It/It's Frankie is one of the most common pronoun headcanons I've ever seen in a fandom. If someone's version of Frankie doesn't use they/them, it probably uses it/it's.

It isn't a robot or alien! We've all seen those it/it's nonhumans for representation's sake; and while Frankie's human-ness is debatable, they aren't portrayed any less than other characters in the franchise.

Canon NB. It's more than just being a popular headcanon, it also has some weight to it.

So, Monster High fandom, (and anyone else who feels moved by my propaganda) I beg of you, nominate Frankie Stein for @it-its-swag.

Note: please do not spam submit. I want it in the bracket too, but rigging polls isn't fun.
