WELCOME TO THE ULTIMATE WEIRDGIRL SHOWDOWN

inspired by the recent trend of competitions, particularly @sexyladyotd, @nonbiney-swag-competition and @autismswagsummit, this tournament seeks to determine which weirdgirl from popular media is the MOST iconic. from mabel pines to coraline jones, who will come out on top? you decide!

a roster of 16 [EDIT: expanded to 32] has been preselected, with a few rules in mind:

  1. the weirdgirl in question must be a minor [i tried to only include characters who are explicitly minors, but i would have been crucified if velma was left out]
  2. there can be only one competitor per piece of media, so unfortunately many deserving ace attorney girls had to be eliminated 😔
  3. the first round's matchups were carefully chosen to try to give everyone a fair fight, however after the first round, matchups will be randomized [EDIT: all matchups will be manually arranged]

the bracket has been posted! find part one here and part two here!

as of round 2, find all polls tagged with #weirdgirl poll!

look i'm not gonna put it on the actual hercules vs perfect blue @bestanimatedmovie post bc i wouldn't let people shit talk on weirdgirlshowdown polls and that would make me a hypocrite

but while hercules may have a fantastic soundtrack and some good performances, it is straight up not a good disney movie. or like a good movie period. i'm not even saying that as like a "oh it has inaccurate greek mythology" although that is true. what i mean is we showed it when i was a counselor at day camp once and when it was over the other teacher who'd never seen it before went "what the hell was that moral? i don't think we should play this for the kids again"

Tumblr's favorite animated movie!

What fans say:

you do not understand. captain underpants needs to win in the name of gay rights and for kids with ADHD. and for gay kids with ADHD.

the results are telling me not enough of you have seen this movie so it's my duty to make sure everyone knows about the stop-motion scene

Just here to vouch what weirdgirls is saying. Captain Underpants better fucking win or so help me I will be very disappointed in you people.

1 1/2 days left so here's your CU fun fact of the day: the book series was banned from many school libraries over the years for being immature and teaching kids to defy authority, but in 2015 it was extra super banned when the time travel book dropped and revealed that harold [kid with the t shirt and bad haircut] is canonically gay
