Round L2, Poll #63

Remember, this is the losers bracket. The winner of this poll will move on, and the loser will be revealed.

Character 47: Short description: This character is this criminal mastermind who’s unexpectedly kind to their crew. They can navigate, hack, and have evaded the FBI for years. This person is essentially the leader, but doesn’t really act like it, always complimenting their team. They’re reclusive, but clearly care about those they love even though they’ve never shown their face. They’re cold and almost heartless to those that cross them, calm and collected during high risk operations. Very self-sacrificial and loyal, though they’re not really appreciated by the other characters. They take responsibility for their crew, handling everything in the background; along with teaching them what they know. They never betray the protagonists, even though they get tortured for almost a year. They’ve beaten up mercenaries with their bare hands… They end up dying in a horrible way, but not before they save everybody they love. They only had a week with their crew before they passed, though I guess in that way, they died at their happiest. …Also, this person is implied to be psychic. The blorbo. Long description

Everyone, say goodbye to Amnesia, also known as Astral from Yu-gi-Oh! Zexal!

Congratulations instead to Serial Dismemberer who proceeds to the second round!

ok so you might wonder why I put down that he’s gay for the protag, it’s because of the Japanese version of the show. You can’t really find it anywhere so I recorded it. He also says “I will always love you” in the manga, which has a different storyline than the anime.

Go watch the Japanese version if you haven’t, the dub cuts a lot out of the original script to the point that everyone hates the show 😆

Guess That Ship Tournament S5: Round 1

A is the leader and B listens to him, very eagerly. B is hotheaded, will follow A to the end of the world. Each time someone in the group speaks up, it’s almost always B. A will gently correct B if he gets something wrong, and B would change his mind. At one point, A has saved B's life.

Despite everything, B is fearful. Even though he cares about A, he ends up lying multiple times to dissociate from A because people are hunting him down. B was afraid of being hurt or worse. He immediately felt terrible about it and ran away sobbing.

A is executed for something he didn’t do, and the rest of canon has B carrying on A’s legacy. Finally, B overcomes his fear and decides to change himself for the better. B spends his whole life trying to be someone that A would’ve been proud of, traveling on behalf of A.

Lose You Again

Character A and Character B are childhood friends. Character A was found orphaned at a young age by Character B, whose family helped him find a caretaker.

Flash forward 10 or so years. Character A and B reconnect, and A shares his research from those 10 years with B, deliberately exposing B to a dangerous situation where B gains superpowers. The two of them reveal A's research to the world, inciting a worldwide panic that quickly reaches apocalyptic levels. B feels betrayed, and refuses to support A any longer.

Now alone, A decides to really commit to this whole apocalypse thing. In an attempt to bring B back to him, he gets B's family killed, and the two of them fight as the last two living beings on earth. A kills B in the fight, then reminisces on their past and his love for B before earth is destroyed.

A and B are part of a time loop designed to punish A by forcing him to learn to love repeatedly, always too late to save B. They are doomed to live variations on this scenario (A learns to love B, but kills all of humanity and also B before he fully realizes it) repeatedly.

Oh, cool! I love the behind-the-scenes stuff. If you’ve never seen the original (this version is narrower so you miss a lot that was going on) it’s here:

The captions are also really cute, although they mostly describe what’s in each photo:

Bulbasaur: Somehow, nomming on my clothes… has become a weird habit of theirs.

Venusaur: That hasn’t changed now that they’ve grown, but they’re very gentle.

Charmander: It’s my first attempt, but I made a plushie so that he wouldn’t get lonely.

Charizard: That plushie seems to be his favorite even now.

Squirtle: Squirtle’s a bit timid and hides behind me at the smallest things.

Blastoise: Looks like they’re scared of the first Pichu they’ve seen. You’re not really hiding!

shaking six year old me by the shoulders YOU WERE RIGHT. YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT LOVE AND ABOUT FAIRNESS AND ABOUT SHARING IS CARING. YOU WERE RIGHT. THE ADULTS DON’T KNOW ANY MORE ABOUT TRUTH THAN YOU DO. KEEP BELIEVING IN THE FAIRIES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE GARDEN. NOTHING IS “JUST THE WAY IT IS”. I AM SORRY THEY EVER CONVINCED YOU TO FEEL SHAME. YOU ARE REAL AND A PART OF THIS WORLD. YOU WERE RIGHT.

Round 1, Bracket 1, Side D, Eighth poll

Takumi Tonooka and Itaru Chigasaki [Tonoita], A3! Act Addict Actors vs Dallas and Bain [NaviMind], Payday: The heist and Payday two

Story of Tonoita:

I DIDN'T EVEN LIKE TONOOKA UNTIL LIKE EARLY 2022. THIS MAN HAS BEEN IN THE GAME SINCE 2018. OUR FIRST INTRODUCTION TO HIM IS HOW HE LITERALLY RUINED ITARU'S LAST YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL AND WAS THE REASON WHY ITARU CAN'T TRUST PEOPLE ANYMORE AFTER THAT AND CLOSES HIMSELF OFF.

AND YET. GOD.

Listen, I'm not an enemies to lovers liker. And exes to lovers is the kind of thing I like when I make them exes, not when they're canonically exes (they never canonically dated but like come on. they're basically exes). So why did I start shipping them?

I have these Twitter roleplay accounts for a3, a handful of them, and while roleplaying a different character in the series, I joined this little server of roleplay where we'd talk about stuff and plan out events and whatever, and one of them was roleplaying this fourth character (Citron!) mainly, but also had a Tonooka account, you might be able to see where I’m going with this.

We had this friend who had the Itaru roleplay account who really liked to roleplay this other Itaru ship (with a guy called Chikage), and sometimes he'd forget to do the replies to other ongoing roleplays. so my Citron/Tonooka friend dm'd me about it since they felt kind of left out whenever that happened, especially if there was an ongoing thread with Itaru and Citron, and I was like yeah I get it. I liked Chikaita a lot but it wasn't my go-to Itaru or Chikage ship, so I was like “uh huh nods”, and we got to talking about Itaru ships, and they mentioned Tonoita.

They really liked Tonoita, who is kinda unpopular in the general fandom because he caused Itaru a lot of trauma, and Itaru's like the number one or two most popular chara in the whole game, so a lot of people didn't like him. But my friend liked him a lot and told me so much about him, and literally he only appeared in one event story in the entire game at that point but I was listening so intently, and then I was like “mhm nods i understand”, and hey u can come to me about Tonoita whenever u want in case you feel judged or whatever.

BUT THAT WASN'T THE KICKER.

I was still kinda neutral about it but I didn't dislike it, but the aforementioned Itaru rp friend went inactive, so after a while, I was like “What if I make an Itaru account instead?” so I did! and then, fuck, I literally still have the roleplay bookmarked. My friend was on their Tonooka account goofing off about whatever shit and I posted this stupid reaction pic of the press x to doubt guy and then Tonooka fucking REPLIED. And then we had the usual exes banter. And then it became real??? LIKE THEY STARTED CRYING AND SHIT?? AND APOLOGIZED TO EACH OTHER?? AND COMMUNICATED WITH EACH OTHER??? AND THEN LIKE. AGREED TO AT LEAST BE CIVIL TO EACH OTHER AGAIN? WHICH TURNED INTO BEING FRIENDS AGAIN?? AND THEN THEY STARTED DATING AGAIN?????

AND THEN I JUST WENT SO INSANE ABOUT IT THAT THEY'VE NEVER LEFT MY HEAD SINCE, LIKE, THIS WAS IN EARLY 2022. SO IT'S BEEN A YEAR AND I'M STILL VISCERALLY INSANE OVER THEM BECAUSE OF THIS ONE THREAD THAT STARTS WITH A PIC OF A STUPID MEME. MY GOD, I HATE BEING OBSESSED WITH THEM BECAUSE LIKE I CAN COUNT ON ONE HAND THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO LIKE THIS SHIP (I KNOW LIKE. 2 PEOPLE AND I HAVE LIKE 200 TWITTER MUTUALS.) THEY ARE SO MESSED UP. I CAN FIX THEM.

Story of NaviMind:

Once upon a time, one of my now-friends was posting stuff about them, I didn’t like it, but then I looked at the tags And she was tagging it as frEAKIN… DAIN… BALLAS… I DIED, YO. I couldn’t live with the fandom knowing the pairing as that so I conferred with my beta and we came up with NaviMind and MasterGuide.

Then I started interacting more with the fandom and started accidentally converting people to this pairing like it was a religion. KEEP IN MIND that I didn’t ship them yet??? Like actually I was talking about canonical things and the people I texted were like “It’s my OTP now” 😭😭😭😭. My record time from me meeting someone to converting that person was a few hours. Literally, I had a NaviMind aura, it was a passive effect.

Then afterward I actually started imagining super angsty things about them and I wrote about their friendship, and I thought it would be much sadder if they were in love but couldn’t be together because of Bain’s paranoia and Dallas’ refusal to admit his feelings. They’re already best friends in canon, I write it to where Dallas can’t live without his guy… yeah, I have the most fics about this duo. I’m still strong even though it’s been over a year.

NaviMind… criminals but gay,,, Bain is the hacker/navigator and Dallas is his assault leader and Mastermind…

My friend who knows nothing about PAYDAY said

Well THATS embarrassing… anyway…… then I unironically began liking them together here is my artistic representation of they

They be doin the illegal stuff. In PAYDAY there’s not many character interactions, yet these two have the banter. Bain says things about Dallas that nobody else seems to know, like “he goes weeks without shaving before a heist.” Bain… how do you know that…

There’s also this:

(PAYDAY 2 SPOILERS)

So this pairing is this hotheaded guy and this calm dude, they both trust each other without a second thought. Bain believes in positive reinforcement, but can and will murder if anyone hurts those he loves. They preplan their heists together! Dallas has a idle line about him waiting for Bain.

There’s more things but during the first game, Bain asks the team if he should murder a guy (out of the ordinary for him because he’s a hermit) and Dallas is like YEAAHH. So Bain does it?? This is the first time out of two occasions where he physically kills a guy.

(Bain is the guy on the radio, and yes these are my recordings because I couldn’t find their interactions online)

Bain trusts Dallas to get things done. All of this to say that I’m total garbage for them 😆 forgive

i love these two characters. i need to trap them in a collapsed building so they can talk about their feelings as one of them slowly bleeds out.
