Fandom Championships

Season: 1 - In Progress, Stage: Challenge 1, Musical Mayhem

This Blog was created as a celebration of fandoms, and their respective characters beloved by its fans. This is a narrative Tumblr Tournament where you, the audience, get to choose what your favorite characters will do in each tournament. There will be polls in which you as the audience get to decide what happens next. Think of this as something more narrative than competition-ish. But the competition is still part of the narrative!

I've always loved fandom, and as a thank you for the creators of each fandom space, I'm taking their characters and making them die for entertainment! But it will also be mostly just small bits of what would happen. Not anything too much, think of them as flash fiction or something closer would be bullet points.

Now, let's go on with the explanation. There will be 10 teams, with 4 competitors from media from either a game, show, book, etc. Since this is the first time I'm doing this, I only chose a handful of ones from a wheel and chose the top 4 most popular and/or iconic characters (of which I've seen) in each respective fandom. But if people demand it, a second tournament can happen with either different characters or fandoms being rotated out.

Onto how this will work, two polls for two teams shall be given every week. Everytime a poll ends, there will be a new poll for another team. Each poll should last around one week unless a tie takes place, in which the poll shall enter a retry period. Each poll can give up to 5 paths for you to choose from. This may aid your characters and give them a significant amount of points, either 3, 17, 23, or 34 points depending on each outcome. Each poll has the chance to deduct points as well, so watch out for those. With that said, there are some polls which can influence other teams' points as well. This is not only for cooperativity, but also for the narrative.

There will be games in the competition that each team will be competing in. Currently, I have come up with 15 games but only 8 will be chosen for the competition. There will also be "Down Time" polls in-between games as well in which 2 characters of any team, whether their own or another, may end up interacting. It may end up in either a rivalry or allianceship. Choose wisely!

If you are still interested, please look into the rules below regarding the competition. Be fair. Be true. Be kind.

My, it looks like we have another tie! But don't worry, we'll sort through this ASAP! Also, just so we're clear I know it looked too confusing to have "Vote for who you want to be in the triple threat round", and then the explanation being to vote to save being from the triple threat round. I was really out of my mind during that and Im pretty sure sleep deprived. But I'll need to go to sleep after this too, ehehe... So, since Danganronpa is part of the Triple Threat Round by default, we'll be going for another vote! It doesn't seem to awful to put this up. Anyway, please pick between the following, and to be clear: You need to vote for who you want to go up against the Periwinkle Pillars, the other two will go against the Mustard Menaces.

You know how it is, hello again everybody it feels like it's been ages since you've heard from us hasn't it? Well don't you worry as your favorites are still in the running! The Pillars, Pancakes, Menaces, Vocals, and Speedsters are going strong. But will you be able to help them to their destined path of becoming a fandom champion?

But don't you worry dear fans of our eliminated fandoms, you still have the rest of the competition to worry about, and since these teams are not in rotation just yet, let's try a little fun game, okay? You, my dear viewers, have the chance to give our eliminated cast a boost in the competition via words of encouragement! Either that, or ask them about whatever! They'll be sent and read by all members of that team, so ask wisely! But, the thing is... We can only send 4 messages to the cast, so these messages will only be picked out. So please don't feel sad if they didn't read your message. Who knows, maybe they'll see it post-competition.

Now, onto our favorite time of the posts...

You remember what happens when it's Round 2, right? There's not enough teams as there are only 5 of them left! So we are implementing a triple threat round, in which majority of people will vote to save their favorite blorbos from the Triple Threat! Why? Because in the triple threat round, only 1 will remain out of the three teams! The team with the lowest amount of votes will be in the Triple Threat round for Round 2!

Hello! Nurse of the Fandom Championships coming in with a summary of what you might need to expect. Injuries in the championships are a big risk, and we hope that you take good care of your fandom blorbos. Severity of the injuries and impacts on your characters may cause unexpected outcomes. Not just in physical trauma, but mental as well. However, Im the nurse, not the psychiatrist. So, let's begin shall we? Just a reminder that medical reports are not for the faint of heart!

Medical Report - Team: Orange Odyssey

Victim: Polites

Perpetrator: Monokuma (Mustard Menaces)

Case Report: Male Orange Odyssey Team Member was referred to the local competition infirmary with wounds similar to that of a bear mauling. The victim sustained a laceration over to the left side of his face and pre-auricular region. He had also sustained multiple injuries over the chest, head, and the right arm. He had suffered fractures in his forearm, now replaced with a cast. Due to severity of injuries, the team member is advised to rest until the 3rd Challenge of the Competition.

[-1 Team Member. Lasts '1 Challenge 'till 3rd Challenge.]

Medical Report - Team: Pink Pancakes

Victim: Fluttershy

Perpetrator: Flowey (Team: Mahogany Monsters)

Case Report: Female Pegasus Team Member of the Pink Pancakes was referred to the local competition infirmary with scrapes and bruises around the forearm, wing coverts, and torso region. The injuries have since been cleaned and bandaged. Due to the severity of the injuries, she is not permitted to pertain any physical activity including: Exercise, Flying, Running, etc. This team member may continue into the competition, so long as she does not pertain any continuous injuries.

Hello everyone! Long time no see, eh? It's me. I've been trying to find out how to give everyone's points and I've been settling things in the narrative and the meta side of things. I know not everyone would agree with the events happening, but I know this will be the most likely scenarios to have happened according to each character and each events that happened. That being said, let's get back to our host! (Quick side note, I'm very busy and may not be able to frequently update from time to time! So just bemindful of that in case I miss anything. If there's anything else you'd like to know, just ask!)

Welcome back dear viewer. Miss us? I know how awfully lonely it must've been. Boy, it felt like weeks passed by! Anyway, we don't have any time. Our contestants have been holed up in their hotel rooms, just waiting to see your faces shine! Don't believe me? See them for yourself, you'll definitely see that there is an absolute ray of happiness in their eyes, they definitely didn't just crawl out of a ditch! Anyway, want a recap on what happened? It'll be a quick one! Let's go!

Round: Perwinkle Pillars vs Cobalt Cookies

Starting off with a doozy of a round! For those of you cheering on the Pillars, congratulations. They won this round. I'll explain. Because Gingerbrave kept an eye on everyone, he was able to stop Shadow Milk Cookie from trying to sabotage the other team, making it so that they had to win fairly. This, in turn, aired out tension between SMC and PVC that made them unfortunately sing worse than they already had due to the tension that befell on them. Due to this, PVC is keeping a closer eye on him from now on. Unfortunately, the Pillars seem to have gotten a hold of their groove and was able to play together as Petra took the limelight. Because of that, she was able to sing her heart out, in turn playing louder than the Cobalt Cookies. This lead to them being eliminated, which means you will be seeing the Pillars in another round. Hm…? What did SMC's sabotage consist of you ask?… Maybe try asking him that yourself when you get the chance.

Round: Mustard Menaces vs Epic the Musical

Let's see, the warriors vs the debaters. Students vs adults who are twice their ages. Maybe more than that if you consider they're pretty much from the past, but let's look past that! Because of your choices, it would seem you aided them both fairly and tried to balance them out against each other. These 8 have had an actual singing match-up that might have ended in a tie if it weren't for the fact that there are some of them out there who are more strategic than they seem. It was supposed to be the victory belonging to the Orange Odyssey, if it had not been for that bear. Monokuma sabotaged the Orange Odyssey by injuring someone from their team, and because the Orange Odyssey went all out that bear took them by surprise. You're lucky to have had that bear on your side… What's with that look? You don't like how things turned out? They didn't take it well either. You're lucky that it wasn't one of their own teammates, that would've made tension grow even higher among the group. Besides. All is fair in the Fandom Championships.

Round: Chartreuse Courtroom vs Violet Vocals

I don't know why you all picked for him to belt it out… Did you want to embarrass him? If so, I applaud you. This round was okay to say the least. The Violet Vocals decided to perform a classic song, however it seems we could only see Gumi on stage… No wait I was wrong, they showed up across the song. Lovely. I wonder if the other three options were other vocaloid song references as well. As for the Chartreuse Courtroom… Your prosecutor had belted out a song which I'm pretty sure was from a kids show. Either way, the prosecutor was soon joined by his colleagues after they had snapped out of their initial shock. While their voices were loud, it was definitely no match for the Violet Vocals. They have more experience than the other group, that's for sure… I wonder, would they been eliminated if they were up against someone else, or if the first game was something else? That begs more questions than you'd think, wouldn't it?

Round: Pink Pancakes vs Mahogany Monsters

The child made the deal with a flower. While the Pink Pancakes asked their friend about an advantage… It was never going to be a fair fight, you know? While those ponies were singing, that flower had a trick up his sleeve. Because the child made a deal with the flower, the child had gained the trust of the skeleton brothers to sing while blindfolded. Weirdly enough, they both agreed to do it. That was the start of their plan. As the ponies sang, Flowey began trying to sabotage the ponies. Little did he know they could also fight back. Out of the four of them, three are powerful unicorns. While everyone's magic was made to be weaker, so was Flowey's. It was a duel that happened as they sang, but if you'd think that'd be enough to stop those ponies you'd better think twice. Due to the plan not going as they were promised, Frisk unfolded the brothers' blindfolds. In turn, the majority of the Mahogany Monsters stopped singing, causing them to lose to the Pink Pancakes. Unfortunately, not all of them remained unscathed. There were still some who suffered more because she couldn't have fought back even if she wanted to.

Round: Silver Speedsters vs Wanderlust Witches

Now for this round, it was amazing. You should've been there. It was unfortunate, one of the speedsters was almost late because he decided to get a snack. Well, not that late but late enough for one of their teammates. The couple from the Wanderlust Witches sang a duet as the other two acted as backing vocals. It would've been nice to hear on repeat, but it's unfortunate how we can only live broadcast it once! While I would like to say the witches took them with ease, that would be lying. Before the round began, Sonic began glowing in hues of purple and blues. It seems whatever he ate gave him side effects that made him have enough energy to sing. Well, not sing perse, it seems these four considered doing a rap verse. Except Sonic took the lead on this. Because of this unexpected turn of events, Luz matched his energy and tried to go all out but it couldn't be managed. What were you even feeding him? I don't know if I even want to, I might end up digging a hole if I were him. You're lucky he didn't end up getting late… But I did see a familiar face in the crowd. Too bad we can never see him again… Right?

Do you think you made the right choices? Two are injured, but don't worry! I assure you, they will only feel more pain after this. And not just them, it'll most likely be many more of your favorite characters! Hm? You don't want them to die? Fine, let me just make this up...

[New Rule has been added: Killing another contestant of the Fandom Championships outside of challenges is strictly prohibited. Violation of this rule will result in a penalty of -10 points.]

The results are in... And your choices have been made! You've all voted for your characters to do things you'd wish to see most, and I applaud you for voting! However, there's some polls which seem to have gotten into a stalemate. And I'm gonna put this here in case any of it is gonna end up being a problem in the near future... But in the case you are all indecisive, it will end up on either my part or the wheel. Though, it will mostly be the wheel since half the time I'm just as indecisive as you guys. Unfortunately there were three ties, so that means I have to spin the wheel for each choice unmade.

What sort of egghead chose them to be the Silver Speedsters? In any case, they should probably get started with the whole concert thing. But the challenge isn't for a while, so he's got some time to spare.

Sonic does a few laps around the court to get his blood pumping, 50 or so would do the trick. Might wanna watch himself if he ends up bumping into someone though. He wonders if Amy and Tails are gonna be watching in the audience. Heh, he's gonna make a performance that's for sure!

It's almost time, but he still wants to get a few laps in... Sonic should probably get going. He's going up against a couple of teens and an old lady. Now he's getting hungry just thinking about what'll happen after. It's just the first round so anything goes, might as well try to get a bite.

Miku is coming to the stage once more! Hopefully she's going to have a blast, but it seems some other contestants are less experienced than her group is. While she wants to win, she also wants to have fun with her group!

Going from her group to the others, it's obvious that they'll be at least the semi-finals. Whichever one is better for their group, she supposes. But with this challenge in mind, Miku thinks she'll be needing some costumes!

Teto seems nervous when she hears about her proposition, but Miku reassures her that they've got everything they need! After all, most of them already have songs with dedicated lyrics. It's just time to find the right costumes to go with them!

*The sense of joy at the start of a new journey fills Frisk with determination. They start by talking with Sans and Papyrus about the competition, however it seems they are more occupied by the sights of a new world to notice them.

*Looking at the other teams fills Frisk with a sense of courage and fear. A fear of not being able to live up to the singing potential. But with their experience in the Mettaton show and Shyren's concert, what could stop them?

*Before entering the stadium, Frisk felt a a tug at their sleeve. It was Flowey. They didn't seem phased and knelt down to his level. Flowey rolled his eyes and asked Frisk about a plan, when they didn't seem to know about one, Flowey decided to implore Frisk of a plan of his own.

Luz was making her way to the waiting room for the first round to start. She doesn't really do singing. Well, she does. And she has! However, the fact that it's a singing competition does not ease any of her nerves. She can sing, but the problem with her actually singing is it's not as great as others would believe it to be.

Her team is great, the best! But if they're going to be singing, they need to be on the look-out for a song that'll grab those judges by the legs and throw them in the air in excitement!... Yeah, that wasn't the best analogy she'd had in her mind, but she's not going to falter! After all, she's got an amazing girlfriend, a great teacher, and Hunter! They're going to do great.

Once the team enters the main stage, that's when Luz starts feeling both nervous and fan-girlish. Not only is she going to be sharing a stage with the people she loves, but she's going to be sharing the stage with SONIC THE HEDGEHOG. WHAT? She's trying hard not to freak out, but she already saw Hatsune Miku in the Championships lobby. If she can get on stage with her, that'd be a dream! Then again, she doesn't know if this whole multiverse thing means she's gonna be a grouch too... Wait, right! They need to get ready. Time's a wasting!

It was a little while before the first round had even started. Twilight had been doing her usual Twilight shenanigans of wondering what they can even sing about. Even if this is just some competition that doesn't have much stakes in it, she'd rather they pass on to at least the semifinals before they have the chance to even play one round.

Fluttershy is talking with the other girls, it seems she's not having too much trouble talking with them now. She seems to be looking at the other teams, so Twilight decides to let her go to them for now as a friendly start.

After a while... It's the start of the first round and the girls are up against the Mahogany Monsters. Twilight has had at least some experience ever since the battle of the bands happened in Sunset's world, so she might as well use what she learned from there. Minus the whole beating the Dazzlings part of course.

Januarary 15, 12:54 AM|Fandom Championships|Musical Stage

Edgeworth thought deep and hard about the upcoming challenge. It wasn't his usual forte to be in competitions. But if he's going to compete, he might as well try and actually succeed. After all, Wright's here. Maybe he can come up with something utterly ridiculous that'll end in their victory. However, they are up against virtual singers so he doubts this will end them up anywhere that isn't their loss.

With Wright's assistant and former assistant in their team, he might as well go all in. He feels as though they do have a chance if something were to happen... However, he despises foul play so he'll have to go against those for now.

Odysseus was finally going to get back home to his wife and son, and this is what he gets? Another venture that will take more possible years out of the life he's already lived. Can someone stop pulling the thread for one second and just let him and his family be?

He wonders which god he pissed off this time. If any. At least he has his wife. She's busy talking with Telemachus, and the other person who he dares not interact with. He hasn't interacted with him since they were brought here. Not even when he approached, he couldn't humor it.

The challenge was about to commence, and it was but a simple test of not strength. But of skill. It's not all too difficult, considering the way of his journey. He's been accustomed to the perilous rhythms of his life, so he might as well accept this. Their opponents are simple youths, and some creature he has never seen or heard from any mythos, but it resembles what seems to be a bear.

Makoto is currently getting ready to unleash his full potential, or at least what he learned from hanging out with Sayaka. He's not the most talented when it comes to singing, in fact he's probably more able to sing when it's with someone like Komaru. Maybe she can give him tips in case he gets dragged into something like this again.

The other team seems to be that ancient greek team that's been causing hype from the crowd. He just hopes they don't end up being trouble or else they'll be the first team out. He got dragged into this sure, but he supposes he can go along with this for a while. Maybe it'll be fun, who knows?

Monokuma is definite trouble, and he doesn't know what that guy is up to. As far as he knows, he's going to end up blowing up the stadium. Better keep a close eye. He'll sing along with Kokichi and Nagito as much as he can. He doesn't know why these guys got chosen into the team, nor does he want to know the process. It's a bit much, but he's optimistic they'll end up not too far, but just enough to count as an okay team.

stop that

It's the first round and Gingerbrave's team is up against those blocky guys. He hasn't really had any time to learn any of their names besides those billboards and posters, but he's up for the challenges.

Gingerbrave doesn't really know about any singing skills, since he's only ever sung a few times will in one of those baths he had or while training during his adventures. But he'll give it a try. It's this moment or none at all!

With his mic ready at hand, he's ready to sing on with PV and the other two as guides. Maybe he could sit this one as a backing vocal for a bit... After all, it seems like Pure Vanilla has more experience singing than he does.

It's the start of the first round, and it's Jesse's team up against a bunch of those weird little cookie things. It's weird seeing all of them ready to attack-er, sing—when half of them are dressed like some sort of warlocks and witch.

Despite his thoughts on these cookies, he maintains his determination and tries to sing with his heart. At least that's what he hopes he's doing. In reality, it couldn't be much worse than what the cookies will start singing. Jesse doesn't know what to do and it's making it hard to focus, the grip on his microphone tightens as the music starts to play.

However, seeing that Jesse is having trouble keeping up with them, Lukas offers his support and they both duet together as Petra and Ivor do background vocals, each of them switching with each other as the song progresses.

There was a lot of commotion before the competition started, and Fluttershy was a bit unprepared for the events coming soon. If she could, she would've just stayed at home but she's part of this competition. She can't let her friends down!

Looking at the other teams, she decides to strike up a friendly conversation with one of them. "Um... Oh, ah hello. I was just wondering if maybe..."

"Hm?" Turning around, the girl in the purple robe gasped at the sight of the pegasus in front of her. She beams and kneels to her level. "Oh my gosh, you're so adorable! Are you one of the other teams? I'm Maya Fey!" She outstretches a hand out, a hoof meeting it in response. "I'm Fluttershy, it's nice to meet you." This girl seemed nice, so Fluttershy quickly relaxes, her energy has that sense of familiarity she seems to enjoy. The two bond right away, talking about their worlds, with Fluttershy talking with the young spirit medium about animals.

Not long after, Maya starts pulling Fluttershy into their group, which Edgeworth immediately scolds her for. "I'm deeply sorry, Ms. Shy. She can be quite the handful."

"Oh, not at all! It's nice seeing someone with so much energy in the competition. Everything's been tense, so it's best if there were more people like her." To that, Maya gives her usual smug grin. This receives a headshake and eyeroll from Edgeworth. "I suppose. We will see you at the competition."

"Then we will be cheering you on, good luck!" And so, the two teams bid each other adieu. Unbeknownst to the Aces, they had just received allies in the form of colorful ponies from a land of magic. Will that be an advantage? Only time will tell.
