[taigan-hse]

Zhusen made it to the final bracket!!

Ok, so clearly you can tell who I think should win. One thing I love about Zhusen is that we were introduced to her as a “guy” and got to watch (some of) her coming out story.

[fictional-orphan-smackdown]

Welcome To The Fictional Orphan Smackdown!

You ever wanted to pit a bunch of people who've gone through terrible (or not terrible, depending on the circumstance) loss against each other to see who's the best? Well, now you can!

There is no proper basis for who the "best" orphan is in this specific poll. Is it based on who's written better? It is based on who you like more? It is based on who would win in a fight? That's up to you!

Before we get started, here are some basic rules on who is qualified as an orphan for this specific poll:

Both biological parents must be dead.

Surrogate/adoptive parents as well as parental figures may still be alive.

If adoptive parents are dead, that counts as an orphan.

If a character has unorthodox parentage (ex. made in a lab, created directly by a diety, ect) and the characters they consider parental figures are dead, that is an orphan.

If they have no confirmed parents, but are theorized to be an orphan, I would have to see the evidence for that theory and judge from there.

On some level, this character should probably be affected by being an orphan (not a requirement, but it will help your chances).

Of course, there will be edge cases and I'll try to judge everything case-by-case, so even if you don't think a character qualifies, submit them anyway! I can't garuntee they get in, but the worst thing I can do is not put them in the bracket :)

Tournament size will be determined by how many submissions I get.

Reblog to help me spread this bracket around! Also here's the obligatory exposure tags:

[webcomic-character-tournament]

are you tired of how many character tournaments just become a popularity contest?

how regardless of seeding, even high contenders can almost arbitrarily be knocked out early on, leaving you with nothing to root for?

if you're feeling that, and if you like any webcomics, you should participate in the webcomic character tournament!

the primary goals of this tournament are:

to celebrate the medium of webcomics as a whole

to find new webcomics to read, and to recommend your own favorites

to highlight indie creators and help them build a wider audience

to have fun rooting for and celebrating your favorite characters!

in order to accomplish these goals, instead of a single elimination bracket, i will be using a mcmahon system inspired tournament structure!

this means that no character will be eliminated, and you can participate in polls rooting for your favorite character throughout all the rounds. characters will also be roughly matched up based on a system that determines how well known their work is, so most rounds should be relatively evenly matched, allowing people to fight for their favorites on their own merits

more details about how the mcmahon tournament will work can be found under the cut!

submit as many characters as you would like to here! the deadline is tentatively next saturday, june 3rd, at 4pm EDT

tagging some other tournaments i like whose participants i think might be interested :) @wlw-webcomic-bracket @obscurewebcomictournament @gaywebcomicsshowdown @autisticgirliesbracket @yuribracket @secretthirdthingtournament @nonyanderepoll @funkylittlebaldcharapoll @divorced-tournament

no submission is specifically banned, but try to keep in mind the spirit of this tournament when deciding what to submit.

under the cut after my more detailed description of the tournament structure, i also ramble in a lot more detail about my philosophy regarding submission eligibility, but it's not necessary to read all that before submitting characters

mcmahon tournament details:

matchups will be decided based off of a survey sent out after submissions are over gauging participants' familiarity with all of the competing characters' source materials. each character will be assigned points based off of how known their source material is, and each character will go up against a character with a similar popularity score for the first round

characters will be awarded points based off of if they lose, win, or tie their match and have that added to their total score, and then they will again be paired against a character with a similar updated score

depending on how many characters are participating, this process can continue either until there is a definitive ranking of all characters, or until just a few top winners are clear

i haven't entirely decided on specifics such as whether points will be awarded by a simple 0 for a loss, 0.5 for a tie, 1 for a win or by percentage of the vote, and if initial popularity points will be counted in the final ranking, or if i will try to rank winners from within their initial popularity categories, but i hope that won't matter too much, because in my opinion the main fun of this isn't the final results, it's for people to have fun in the individual rounds seeing their favorite character's points go up!

submission guidelines:

if you are submitting characters from extremely popular webcomics, try to limit yourself to just characters that are among your top favorites of all time, and maybe try to submit stuff from lesser known works as well

similar goes for webcomics that are more widely known for adaptations into other media forms (one punch man, tower of god, heartstopper, etc.)

i'm not specifically banning any comic for having bigoted content or its creator being a bad person, there's a wide scale of stuff i could decide to include in that definition or not. in the goal of celebrating favorite characters, obviously a lot of people love characters despite flaws in the work they're from, but also keep in mind the goals of recommending works to other people, and helping uplift and promote creators you like, and try to find a reasonable balance from there

what counts as a webcomic:

physically published works that you can find pirated or scanlated online probably don't count

comics whose publication is centered around physical releases, who also have simultaneous online releases by their publishers (comics on manga plus or comixology, newspaper strips with online sites, etc.) probably don't count

comics published through traditional publishers that are exclusively online (such as shōnen jump+ comics) still probably don't count

comics published online through companies that exclusively publish online (such as lezhin) are still discouraged

stuff like line webtoon or tapas official comics are more acceptable, as there are a lot of free comics from independent creators around them and many of these comics started out that way themselves, so they exist within a culture of webcomics more so than the aforementioned comic categories

stuff that is paywalled beyond just having an early release system is discouraged

comics that are no longer online but accessible through archives are fine though, especially in the wake of sites like smackjeeves being deleted there's a lot of stuff in webcomic history that can only be found that way now!

webtoon style comics absolutely count as webcomics, they're an exciting way of fully making use of webcomics' digital format! simultaneously however, i feel like with the rise of mobile webtoon apps, there are many people who read webtoon style comics but who dont further engage with webcomics, so i'd definitely encourage submitting a variety of styles of webcomic!

none of these rules are set! feel free to submit whatever you want, i just list them so you can try to find a balance between the different goals of this tournament when submitting stuff.

anyone can submit as many characters as you want, but just maybe if you find that a lot of your submission ideas are from comics in some of the more discouraged categories, limit yourself in how many you submit from those categories and only submit characters if they're absolute favorites of yours you want the opportunity to celebrate, and maybe try to also submit a character from something that isn't in a discouraged category too!

theres no penalty for not going with this, but i think because choosing characters by number of nominees doesn't really align with my intentions for this, depending on how easy it is to sort submissions i might just go off of vibes, so you might just be less likely to have a character make it to the tournament if their comic is in more heavily discouraged categories is all

[mid-episodesongshowdown]

Welcome to the Mid-Episode Song Showdown!

Hello to everyone! I am the same person who runs @pruechaosbracket although I don't feel ready to do an intro-post yet.

This is the Mid-Episode Song Showdown! Because somehow they are some of the best songs ever, so of course I had to make a Tumblr Poll Contest (tm) about them!

Now then, The Rules!

Despite the name, songs from games also count.

Musicals on the other hand, do not count because they're all about the music.

The song has to have lyrics.

Intros, Outros, or any song that appears in every episode does not count.

Ending songs only count if they also appear before hand.

The song has to originate from its series.

Parody songs also count as long as they follow the previous rules.

You can submit as many songs as you want, just please don't spam the same song over and over again

Propaganda is encouraged, go crazy with it but don't harass others (also you can put it in though my asks/post submissions)

Teams will not be here this time around, so if two songs are tied they will be redone.

With that out of the way, I'm am going to leave the submissions up until February, I'll see you afterwards, and have fun!

(Also here's the obligatory visibility mentions of other polls and gimmick blog I like, feel free to ignore them because I know it's probably annoying. @best-kirby-character-tournament @cringefaillosersummit @weird-song-bracket @wlw-webcomic-bracket @ultimate-good-dog @shinypokemonshowdown @cantheykillmacbeth @foundfamilyadoptionagency @tournamentdirectory @tournament-announcer)

[autisticgirliesbracket]

WLW webcomic bracket mod here, I'm sorry for helping knock out Webby because I know how much you love her but also thank you so much for including Dina in this tournament <3 she's made me feel a lot better about several of my personal quirks and also it's so rare to see a webcomic character get this kind of traction. I'll be voting for Webby in the revival round!

HIYA!!

i DO really love Webby, gotta be top 5 comfort characters for me. but as the bracket host I know I need to be prepared for my faves to get knocked out, no need to apologise!!! the upset is purely performative because I am passionate about autistic water fowl <3

having Dina in the bracket has been a pleasure so far, there's been so much passion and propaganda posts behind her she clearly deserves to do well in this bracket!! and I'M learning so much about a webcomic I'd personally never heard of before.

i found out about your bracket too late to do much voting :( but thank YOU so much for hosting the bracket!!! there's so many webcomics and I don't read enough of them to know where to start looking for canon wlw rep, so your polls have been an awesome source of recommendations for me
