#undertale character polls

[fairybluedreams]

Hi there I am here to promote my favorite character in Undertale (this one and Papyrus are tied you don't understand how much I love this spoon ghost amalgamate that jumpscares you only to tuck you into bed and pat you on the head before promptly leaving).

The slides came out grainy :/ So here's my basic message:

VOTE WATCHING MAN IN THE @ut-side-character-showdown

LISTEN OK, LISTEN, I know it's silly bc they only appear for that one scene and as a shadow behind a shower curtain whom we RUDELY SCARE OFF during their shower, but listen. We are so rude to this poor creature we interrupt their shower and come barging into their part of their house without invitation and all they do is tuck us in while we're sleeping and pat us on the head. I mean like, out of a whole underground of monsters that try to capture us or challenge us to a fight out of a fear of humans, this one just sees us sleeping in THEIR HOUSE and just goes "awww, let's tuck you in you lil' cutie" and then just leaves. It's so pure and sweet? ??? Hello???? Can anybody hear me?

(They're just like me fr cuz if I saw a potentially dangerous but cute animal laying down in my room out of nowhere (idk, let's say like an ocelot or feral cat or something), I too would cover it up and give it a little pet on the head before promptly leaving and not returning until it's gone too.)

I love this dang thing, I love it so much  they tucked me in and patted me on the head without even knowing who I was when everything else in the damn underground had tried to at least attack or trick me into game shows first. They made sure I wasn't cold and could sleep in peace when no one else would 😭😭😭😭

Round 1: Right Side - Papyrus (Undertale) vs. Hunter (The Owl House)

[kitkat-the-muffin]

Tis a niche of its own

Sorry there is only two female characters, I kinda pulled these off the top of my head and probably missed a ton of other candidates. Reblog with an addition if you have one!

Edit: I forgot to make this poll a week long! Once this poll ends I'll remake it with new additions depending on the results (the characters with the fewest results will be replaced with suggested characters from the notes so be sure to suggest some!) in the meantime tho plz reblog to increase sample size

This follows my own definition of what "Comic Relief" means: A character that is used as a conduit for comedy in a piece of media

Through character studies I have determined that there are 5 types of comic relief: the Character Relief, the Audience Relief, the Tone Shifter, the Butt of the Joke, and the Slapstick. Characters that identify as "Comic Relief" usually fall into one or more of these categories

Further explanation under the cut

The Character Relief refers to a character who actively makes jokes to be funny in-universe through conscious humor. Examples from this poll would be Sans and Rayla, who go out of their way to make their friends laugh

The Audience Relief refers to a character who makes the audience laugh regardless of their impact on the story. Examples from this poll would be Lapis and Gus, who are often involved in comedic bits meant for audience entertainment that aren't acknowledged by the narrative as anything unprecedented

The Tone Shifter refers to a character who makes jokes to relieve tension and shift the tone of a scene, either consciously or unconsciously. Examples from this poll would be Jay and Leo, as they both consciously make jokes about grim situations to help their friends or family feel better. Additionally, Jay would do this unconsciously before his trauma made him start doing it on purpose

The Butt of the Joke refers to a character who is made fun of by other characters in-universe, whether endearingly or not. Examples from this poll would be Dewey and Lance, who are often met with insults whenever they do something wrong or silly. The insults are usually meant to be endearing and comedic, but they can still feed into the character's possible inferiority complex. This also applies whenever a villain hits them with a sick burn*

The Slapstick refers to a character who is made fun of by the narrative and the audience like a punching bag. Examples from this poll would be Sokka and Yusuke, who are sometimes put in troubling and awkward situations as a gag for the audience's entertainment alone. These gags are not fun for the characters yet delightful to watch

Most comic relief characters can be characterized as multiples of these. For example, Jar-Jar from Star Wars is both Slapstick and Audience Relief, and even if you don't find his jokes funny that doesn't change the fact that they were written with your entertainment in mind

If you're curious how a "The Narrative's Favorite (derogatory)" character would fit into this chart, they're likely both a Butt of the Joke and a Slapstick character, making their life absolute hell. To be honest, MK from Monkie Kid is an example of a character who fits all 5 categories, but he isn't blue so he isn't in this poll

*Ok if you've ever seen Phineas and Ferb Mission Marvel let me just say MODOK is a total Butt of the Joke and my favorite line in that special is when a TV announcer calls him a "Giant Chicken Egg with a Face" and I just had to mention that omg

This is something I’ve been turning over in my head so I’ll just make a poll out of it.

Very high as in cannot live on his own, take care of himself, or survive/thrive/live without support in any meaningful capacity. And could be an active/passive danger to himself/others.

No real people, just a general. ah with that from me

Round 1, Side B - Undyne the Undying (Undertale) vs. Optimus Prime (Transformers)

Propaganda:

Undyne the Undying (Undertale)

“Right now everyone in the world… I can feel their hearts beating as one… And we all have ONE goal. To defeat YOU. Human. No, WHATEVER you are. For the sake of the whole world… I, UNDYNE, will strike you down!”

Optimus Prime (Transformers)

He’s the leader and super loyal to the autobots. He’s a kind and wise leader and is willing to sacrifice himself for others.

at the end of the day, tumblr poll tournaments are for fun and they are not that deep or important and it's 100% up to the tournament creator how they want to run the tournament so i want to say right off the bat that i'm not upset about this whatsoever as it would be silly to get heated over this lol. i just want to say that i think it's funny how i've now been blocked by two tournament accounts on separate occasions (because they didn't like how the results would swing in favor of the homestuck character competing in the poll after i'd reblogged it). like, is there a maximum amount of followers you can have in order to reblog a poll that i'm not aware of? i think it would be funny if polls started including "please do not reblog if you have more than x followers"
