The Ultimate Character Design Tournament

Do you have a character where you think their design is absolutely peak? Or maybe the design is just really nice or pleasing to look at?

Well, why don't you see what the public thinks of them, and submit them into the Ultimate Character Design of All Time Tournament!

This tournament accepts characters from any franchise, popular or not, and even your own OCs (if you're daring enough to put them through this tournament!)

Submissions will be open until 4/28!

Only rules are:

No nudity or gore allowed in the submitted image.

Please vote for characters based on their design, not just if you happen to like the character more or not

You can submit as many characters as you like! But if I notice someone spam submitting the same character, I'm banning the character from the tournament

The form is completely anonymous. It will have you log in, but only so you can upload a file.

حبيبي (Arabic) habībī /ħa.biː.biː/ Darling, a common Arab term of endearment; literally, "my beloved"

queer (English) /kwɪɹ/ 1. (dated) weird; odd; different. 2. Pertaining to sexual or romantic orientations or gender identities that do not conform to conventional heterosexual and cisgender norms; broadly LGBTQ+

Note that this word has been used in a derogatory manner in the past, which makes some wary to use it to describe themselves. However, there's been a large effort since the 60's or 70's to reclaim the word, and it's now used often by the LGBTQ+ community more broadly and by many LGBTQ+ individuals!

Round 7 Bracket!

Congrats to the 4 semifinalists! I don't think a pie chart would be particularly useful at this point, so I'm just doing the bracket.

Hello and welcome to Do you know this queer character! You can call me Bear, and pronouns are he/they.

This blog is similar to blogs like @doyouknowthisdisabledcharacter @every-character-ever-poll @who-do-i-know-this-man and @doyouknowthischaracter . I’m sure that I missed some, but these specific blogs were really the inspiration behind this blog. I wanted to make a poll blog specifically for canonically queer characters! I hope you all will enjoy what this blog has to offer!

Samhain

The name is borrowed from Irish.
