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!
“’Have no fear – my associate and I will take care of the spirit once and for all!’ Teru stands a little straighter, his posture shifting just slightly to mimic Reigen’s. Reigen is struck by the urge to ruffle the kid’s hair, but refrains”
aNYWAYS please read Permanency by @grandmasterreigen , it’s really good and me being the gremlin I am got wound up over one sentence and rushed home to scribble it! Also for your consideration:
The real reason I logged back on here is apparently Donnie fans have decided to mischaracterize Mob and accuse him of being a stereotype?????
PLEASE I’m begging you, just watch the show, and no, the first 5 episodes alone are NOT enough for you to make a judgement on Mob’s character.
I get that the creators of ROTTMNT confirmed that Donatello is canonically autistic, I get that they based him off of Abed, congratulations, that’s really cool and awesome. But that does NOT mean you get to use that as some sort of brownie points for why Donatello is better? or to mischaracterize Mob?
Like honestly, this poll should be for fun, we should be celebrating ALL the austim swag characters for all the autism and swag, please stop trying to falsely antagonize an entire fandom for “supporting autism tropes” just because you love your fave more than ours.
Mob is NOT a walking stereotype, he’s far more nuanced than that, which is honestly kinda the point of the series.
Y’all keep judging him for the little you see, for his physical and outward appearance, y’all love to call him mediocre or average, honey have I got a show for you, it’s called Mob Psycho 100.
Anyways, *if everyone is not special, maybe you can be what you want to be.*
