Glasses Swag Sequel Submissions

Hey gang, in celebration of me finally getting new glasses frames after spending seven years with the same ones, I have decided to return to an old tournament, one of my first….

The Glasses Swag Tournament is where you can submit all your favorite glasses-wearing characters!

Since this is a follow-up to a previous tournament, I won't be accepting characters who made it into the previous bracket. The document linked below is a list of the submissions I got. Any characters in the "Bracket" section will not be eligible to participate, but characters in the "Extra Submissions" section are (if you want some ideas). I'm not automatically accepting anyone so if you want them in, make a quick submission!

Now, rules for submissions:

The character has to have physical glasses so no contacts. If they switch between the two that’s fine.

The character should be wearing the glasses most of the time. I’m going for them being a key part of their design.

Has to be a fictional character, so no real people in this tournament. And no OCs, sorry.

Please don’t spam one character multiple times through the form but you can submit multiple forms for different characters.

Submissions will close May 19, 2024 at 12:00 AM EST (midnight). I should be done with remaining school stuff by then so I have time to put together the bracket.

Have fun!

Also, tagging some cool tournaments/poll blogs I follow to help spread the word: @mattapparentlystumbltourneys @weeb-polls-with-pip @serialadoptersbracket @foundfamilyadoptionagency @fairytale-poll @yen-sids-tournament

A few Updates

So finals are fast approaching and I’ve been really busy with classes that I’ve barely had time to look at this blog. The tournament is still going to happen but the preliminaries are going to start in may, speaking of the tourney-

I’m going to have to cut down the size from 128 participants to 96. Sorry y’all but I anticipate this tournament to bleed into the summer and I am going to have a very eventful summer with learning another language for 8 weeks, 6 hours a day.

So the the tournament is going to be 96 participants in total with 2 characters from the same franchise allowed.

Thank you to everyone who submitted a character!

There are a total of 194 submissions for me to get through, I’ll update y’all hopefully soon.

LAST DAY TO SUBMIT CHARACTERS!!

We were specific… but now… we are multiple…

Welcome to the Multiple Elements Character Tournament!!

This is a tournament for characters who can use 2 or more elements!

Rules:

Remember, this is a tournament about fictional characters so please! be nice! I don’t want any hate or bigotry (racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, stuff like that) here.

No real people! That includes streamers and MCYT! I’m fine with most things but will ban certain characters/media depending on how much unnecessary discourse they will create and how much we can separate the art from the artist. So HP won’t be allowed if you want a metric.

You can submit as many characters as you want, but please submit them one form at a time.

Do NOT submit the same character over and over again!

Make sure you spell the name of the character and piece of media they are from correctly please.

The character doesn’t necessarily have to use magic to get in. A character could use a flame and water sword and they would still be eligible for the tournament.

Characters who are more proficient in one element are allowed, but the character has to use other elements somewhat frequently. The other elements shouldn’t be an afterthought essentially.

I will allow media if they have their own unconventional “elements" in. Elements that weren't necessarily featured in the last tournament (Water, Earth, Fire, Air, Electricity, Ice, Vegetation, Metals, Light, and Darkness). What I mean is that, yes, the fighting type from pokemon and almighty skills from megami tensei are considered as elements in this tournament.

That being said, power systems like the hunter x hunter nen system won’t count. This is because Nen is more like using different techniques not actual elements. While the aura types for nen are more like categorizations for a character’s abilities. It’s kinda like the quirk categorization (emitter, mutant, and transformation) in my hero academia for a more simple comparison.

The Demon Slayer breathing styles are NOT allowed! They’re not actually summoning elements, it’s a visual metaphor.

When it comes to Pokémon, they are allowed, but under specific circumstances. Either: their ability changes their type (protean, multi type, etc), have a wide and diverse move pool regarding types, if a pokemon is a dual type, and/or if a pokemon has a gimmick that meets the prior criteria (think the rotom forms or the ogerpon masks). I’m not including Terastallization as an excuse for any Pokémon who don’t meet the prior criteria because it feels like such a cop out using a gimmick, that most likely won’t appear in later gens, to include certain Pokémon.

Trainers from Pokémon are allowed! As long as the pokemon they use are diverse in their typing and/or fit any other criteria listed above.

I might add more rules later on if necessary.

Also, if you want a list of "unconventional elements" that I'd most likely allow, please look at the "Elements and Their Associated Powers And Traits" tab on the "Elemental Powers" TV Tropes page.

I made totally different form for pokemon due to how many submissions I anticipate to get from that franchise. So submit characters from pokemon to that form please.

I’m gonna try to shoot for a 128 character tournament, but idk how many characters from the same franchise will be allowed in. Probably around 2-5 characters depending on what the submissions are like.

Going to shut the forms down on April 6th or at around 700 submissions. The last tournament was 1,530 total submissions and that was a lot, so I’m going to cut this one down a bit.

Blogs I’m tagging under the cut (Not forcing y’all to reblog this post, I just want some fresh eyes on this tournament)

Welcome to the Triple Trouble Tourney !!

yeah uh idk what else to add here but this is where trios fight against each other !!! idk if this has been done before but whatever !!!

inspired by literally every other tourney, tagging @tournament-announcer for visibility

Rules:

No real people or OCs, only fictional characters (or nonhuman real life trios) are allowed to compete

Im not stopping people from submitting trios from controversial sources but there are very slim chances they will get added in the actual tourney. I have the right to deny any submission for any reason

If you want to know if a certain trio has gotten in the bracket, you can send an ask and ill reply with how many people have submitted them and whether or not they have enough submissions to secure a place in the bracket

If anything is wrong (with the form, with the polls, etc) just shoot an ask to me

Round 2 Group 8

Propaganda and Spoilers under cut

Echo Flower:

The Echo Flower is a mysterious cyan flower that repeats back whatever words it heard last, over and over. In Undertale, you can use it to hear conversations of passersby.

Hydramon:

Here is an excerpt from the official digimon reference book, "A gigantic Plant Digimon that primarily takes root in swampland. It constantly secretes a highly-toxic liquid from its whole body, which it mercilessly uses to dissolve anyone that touches it and preys on them. Also, it has a habit of expelling large amounts of that liquid from its abdomen, melting the ground and creating swamps to expand its nest. These swamps disturb the surrounding ecosystem, so if you see ominous flowers that have grown abnormally, it is a sign to be cautious."  Also its name is a play on the words hydra (a multiple headed snake monster from greek myth) and the flower hydrangea.
