SUBMISSIONS OPEN - selfcest wins 💖

If you see something off, please submit an ask. I want to be responsive to y'all's concerns :)

Self-Love Tournament, Round [Test]:

Anonymous (Anon, Nonny) from Tumblr vs You (me, us, Nobody special) From Your Imagination

This poll is a celebration of fan imagination and fan communities. There may be issues with these ships. Please do not take their inclusion as an endorsement. The only submissions I've consciously excluded have been those that objectify real people in a way they could be affected by.

Submissions

I'll try to prioritize characters with more submissions or more impassioned propaganda, so keep that in mind when submitting

+ Ground Rules:

I reserve the right to exclude any characters or fandoms from the bracket (to be fair, the most hated usually get voted off quickly anyway)

Feel free to vote on whatever criteria you see fit! I try to prioritize iconic ✨ examples, ones that have had large impacts on Tumblr history, and any personal blorbos 💖

I did say whatever criteria, but I do feel like I should address hate-voting. I'm not going to forbid it, but I ask that you consider if you really do hate the character/fandom that much. For example, Oncelercest isn't my cup of tea by any means, but man.... you gotta hand it to him.....

I love passionate (and even sometimes violent) propaganda, but do NOT bully anyone.

From my end, I really appreciated how @controversial-blorbo-bracket ran their tournament, so I'll try to follow their lead: be open and transparent, give people who are writing propaganda the benefit of the doubt where possible, and try to take passionate takes in stride.
