FAQ and tags under the cut

A WHILE ago someone sent an ask to @namedafterflowerstournament asking if they'd consider a 'best fictional plant/flower' tournament, and they said it'd be cool for someone else to do. After much sitting around to see if someone else would do it (and if you HAVE done it and I missed it im so sorry!!!!) I've decided to be that person >:)

RULES

Any kind of plant is allowed and because I'm feeling silly, I'll allow mushrooms. Trees, flowers, berries, fruits, veg, ferns, mushrooms, whatever

My only media restriction is no Harr/y Po/tter, don't worry she didn't actually invent anything so you can submit mandrakes from other properties. Myth/folklore is ENCOURAGED!!!

I've not thought about time limits/bracket count I just miss having something to Organise and I want to make my little lists and graphics again :)

Submission Link Here

This may take a while, I actually have some responsibilities this year, but I hope you can stick with it until the end

Rules:

Full dragons, half dragons, quarter dragons, dragons that mostly stay in human form, etc. are all accepted so long as they are a dragon and some flavour of gay/gay coded

Gay is an umbrella term here. Dragons that fall/are implied to fall under another lgbt identity are accepted

I reserve the right to reject characters from media that is uncomfortable. And you, the people, of course, can tell me why you think certain characters shouldn't be included in my ask box and I will take it into consideration

Adding to that last point, I feel like it goes without saying at this point, no terf wizard series

Propaganda is important! Tell me why they belong here. A character will be more likely to get in with a good explanation. Ex. A character from an obscure series with good propaganda in submissions will have more of a chance than a popular one with nothing

'Crack' submissions will be considered. If its a gay dragon it's a gay dragon

Anti-propaganda is okay, since it can be funny, but keep it that way. This is for fun

Enjoy yourself

ROUND 1 ALL POLLS [HERE]

PROPAGANDA BELOW

Propaganda under the cut

Propaganda

Astarion Ancunin: (tw mentions of enslavement, sexual coercion, and description of torture) Spent 200 years enslaved by a vampire lord as his spawn eho horrifically tortured him the whole time, including carving a ritual circle into his back. Forced to seduce and sleep with prople to bring the vampire lord new victims, and was only able to escape because he was kidnapped by mindflayers. Is left incredibly traumatized and is in the beginning stages of recovery by the end of the game

Jean Discole: (Via @mistresshasty; tw kidnapping)

Saw his parents kidnapped. Violently. Then he was left alone with his kid brother to report this to the police when he's all of 8yo. This man's name isn't even Jean Descole. Descole is an alter ego for his other alter ego, Desmond Sycamore. Why? Because he GAVE HIS NAME AWAY to his younger brother so said younger brother could be adopted in his place after their parents were kidnapped. Like legit, people came and said they could only adopt one kid and Descole straight up said, yup, my kid brother, this is Hershel, not me, nope (shut up Theo, you're Hershel now.)

Then fast forward to adulthood where he's finally healing some of the Trauma, only for his wife and daughter to die mysteriously (though its heavily implied it was by the same people who kidnapped his parents.) Then, as he's getting his revenge on that organization, guess what? The leader is his long lost father who went crazy after his wife (Descole's mom) died in captivity. Descole has 0 chill because he has had 0 breaks in life.

Sword gays showdown - preliminaries

Propaganda:

To qualify for this poll, your character must canonically fight with a sword or sword-adjacent weapon (sabers, long daggers, rapiers/epees and all that).

"Sword gays showdown" is just a name, please do submit characters who are bi/pan, ace, trans and other LGBT+ identities. This tournament is all about vibes so characters you headcanon as LGBT+ are fine too!

Please include full name of the character and media they're from!

I reserve the right to disqualify a submission if I'm uncomfortable with the source material (for example if the author of [media your characters are from] is racist/transphobic/etc).

Have fun! Submissions will be open at least until October 24th, maybe a few days longer.

Tagging some other polls for reach under the cut, feel free to ignore!
