Do you ship it?

reason: You gotta love some yuri between 2 losers. Also this is like the only Kiane pairing where the other person actively shows interest in canon.

propaganda for whole chonny jash:

the album itself, Chonny's Charming Chaos Compendium, is very versatile and up to interpretation, but one thing that rings true 100% of the time is that whole and his sides, heart, mind, and soul, they are in a time loop.

imagine you, australian musician guy, are hella depressed and struggling to do anything, and after a major crash where you think you're gonna end it, you pick yourself up and overcome your depression. only for you to be put back at square one and have to do it ALLLLL over again.

not only that, but in this album they are fighting not only depression, but also EACH OTHER. heart shooting at mind and missing, whatever his 'punishment' was, soul threatening to kill them all and therefore whole himself, their reconciliation at the end of cacophony, their brief happy ending in concord. they have to live through all of that over and over and over again, never truly escaping it.

the time loop is so damning to the fates of heart, mind, soul, and whole, and its existence adds so much to the story itself, implications that the audience can build on, and the messages and themes of the album. i'm not a big fan of time loops usually as they can get pretty boring at times but this one has me HOOKED.

the album itself btw is definitely worth the listen, particularly if you like experimental music but do listen with headphones, it makes the experience 10x better. but anyways yeah vote whole chonny. jash ^^

Btw here is Arimiserable.png for whatever purposes you may need it for.

Why do I have a feeling that when it gets to the final round, the timeloop will begin

0.001 seconds after the winner of the bracket is crowned

[the-real-timeloop-tourney]

it would've been so funny if you put any round where arimnaes lost into a time loop until he won

buddy, do you think we have literal infinite time? because based on previous data that is how long it would take

[the-real-timeloop-tourney]

Alright, I've gone through the submission sheet, and surprisingly, there's still room for some more! We're currently at 117 unique viable ships (though there's a couple I'm on the fence about if they count) and I'd like there to be 128.

If there are preliminaries, the following ships get to skip that, as they have been submitted multiple times:

Kine x Yin Yarn

Henrietta Hendrick x Neska

Bowser x Luigi

Timmy Turner x Dib

Siffrin x Mr Arimnaes

Artificer x Mapleshade

Komaeda x Sans

Mordecai x Twilight Sparkle

Universe 42 Miles x Margo Kess

Turning Woman 3 x Musichetta

If there's anything you don't see there that you'd like to make it into the tournament (that you haven't already submitted), here's the form!

I was very disappointed to see that this blog was not just the same poll over and over.

Best Character Stuck in a Timeloop

Propaganda for Chonny:

- From a musical album (Doubt any other characters will be from an album) - Said Album is really good. everyone should go listen to it - This one's a bit hard to characterized bc it's sort of three characters and sort of one. Just listen to the album and it still won't make sense but at least you'll have listened to one of my favorite albums - The album has a really compelling story about the division and unification of Heart, Soul, and Mind and idk if I've said this enough but it's a really good album ------------------------------------ -whole is going through a loop of events... Very often... Including the heart, mind and soul going through those with him.

-album... Very cool.

-yeah I can't make proper propaganda for him either

Propaganda for Homura:

you are 14 years old. after your first friends at your new school revealed they are Real Life Magical Girls, they die horribly against this super powerful monster witch. you make a wish to meet your best friend again so you can save her this time. every time you try to reach a golden ending where everyone lives goes horribly wrong so you resign yourself to letting your best friend's (and once your) friends die every time so you can save your best friend. you become colder, more efficient as the loops go on. you go through the same few months around a hundred times to try to save your best friend from her fate. this time you'll save her. she sacrifices herself for the every single magical girl and becomes a god and now you're the only one who remembers her. great! hooray! anyways a win for homura is a win for magical girls (and yuri). why relive a day or so when you can relive months am i right? ------------------------------------ "Poor girl relives the same 2 months 100 times just to prevent her doomed-by-the-narrative girlfriend from dying and becoming God ------------------------------------ - Was literally in the timeloop for 12 years - Did it all for yuri - Became like. the devil (also for yuri) - magical girl who's weapon is just normal ass guns and bombs and shit " ------------------------------------ When you go into a time loop to save your girlfriend from dying but she just keeps dying horribly in every universe so you slowly start to get sick of looping and start using more direct routes to try to save her to the point where she doesn’t even know you anymore as you’re just trying to save her but it gets to the point where you’ve looped so many times trying to save her that her soul has become so powerful that she can become god only then does she remember you. And she does to free you and all the other magical girls in history from their pain but because she did this she rewrote the rules of the universe and therefore became a non physical entity and you had to watch her rebuild the universe. No one else even remembers she existed except for her little brother who sees her more as an imaginary friend than anything else and the only thing you have to remember her by is the pink ribbon that she wore in her hair. Btw you and your friends still aren’t free from being magical girls but at least you can’t become horrible monsters who are but a shell of your former self when everything becomes to much so now the only risk is dying in combat horribly instead. ------------------------------------ There was a psp game once and I'm pretty sure the whole thing was just recurring nightmares of the timeloop. Like. This isn't canon. But it lines up to me. She went to catholic school once, also, like, she deserves a win. Not because of Christianity or whatever but in spite of it.

Madoka mainline anime being Yuri is something I could see someone denying, though that takes a lot of willful ignorance and letting the phrase "My dearest and closest friend"(or similar such things) carry a LOT of platonic weight, but even if you can argue someone willingly going through several thousand timeloops focused solely on one individual's happiness and safety and also saying that she loves the other person at least once, with it all culminating in an explicitly stated feeling of love that's so strong that it lets one rewrite the whole universe and subvert a principal of the old universe and also god as being anything other than yuri, at least one manga is very explicitly yuri. Even if it isn't madohomu focused. Anyways Homura deserves a W

thanks for the info

[the-real-timeloop-tourney]

Only about a day left in this round, so now would be the best time to make some last minute pushes. Especially for the Chonny vs Link poll, that one is very close.

[the-real-timeloop-tourney]

I'd classify Madoka as "all but explicit yuri" - like they never outright turn to the camera and say they're gay but they might as well. There are certain elements where if you try and argue thats not the clear intention I feel you're being willfully ignorant and/or have piss-poor reading comprehension, and if the same things were shown with m/f pairings I dont think Imit would even be considered a question of whether its meant to be romantic by the general audience.

Ah. I see. So it is in fact the farcille special.

[the-real-timeloop-tourney]

At this point I feel I have to ask; does Madoka Magica actually have yuri in it? Like I know that half of the people talking about it in the notes of that one post say it's Yuri but that can mean a lot of different things. Like is it actually canon yuri? Heavily implied but technically not canon (we call this the Dungeon Meshi special)? Or is it just an widely accepted fanon?

[the-real-timeloop-tourney]

whole propaganda: he's a guy with cognitive dissonance so bad he split into three guys. he likes Tally Hall. he's a pathetic loser. he's pansexual. truly the guy ever

I swear someone has said this exact sentence as propaganda already. Weird.
