Hello everyone! Welcome to the character foils showdown. Character foils are an excellent narrative tool and go painfully unappreciated. So this is meant to give them some love!
Character foils are two characters who parallel each other in the narrative. They contrast each other, highlighting their similarities and differences to strengthen the narrative. Are they two people who react very differently to the same situation? Are they a reflection of what the other could've been? Are they people who are extremely similar but were shaped by their different situations? Are they two incredibly different people with one or two key similarities that the narrative uses to parallel them? They can be executed many many different ways. And often, they add to the story very well. This is all about them.
1. I will not be accepting submissions from Harry Potter or South Park.
2. Be civil with the other voters! Do not say "why would you vote for [x]", "[x] doesn't deserve to win", etc. Also, do not attack the media the contestant is from. Nobody wants to hear you talking about how that show sucks and is horribly written and anyone who likes it deserves nothing (Yes, I've seen that shit on other polls. I wish I was joking.) Seriously guys, be civil. This is a poll on the internet.
3. You can submit more than one pair, but please don't submit the same pair more than once for the sake of my sanity /lh
4. This is gonna take a while because A. This is my first poll, and B. I am kinda busy, sorry. Please be patient!
5. Please do not tag adult and minor or familial foils as ships. No thank you.
6. Propaganda is encouraged, but please be civil to others in your propaganda. Again, remember rule two! If I feel like you're being particularly toxic, I have the right to block you.
The link to the form is right here:
Y'all have two weeks to submit your foils!
Would also like to say that this is my first time making a poll so might not be the Best at it, sorry in advance. Hope y'all enjoy!
