Sorry to bother and no pressure, but is this tournament still happening?
Yes! I can't promise when, but I'm setting up the next round now, thanks for the prompt
More explanation under the cut
I got distracted for a moment and lost all momentum on this. I want to write up a whole thing about the loser's pit to give a bit of lore to how second chances were won (and also post all the lovely bribe lore and inspiration!) but for some reason that's a challenge for me right now (it's mental health. that's the reason).
Basically: Executive Function doesn't and perfectionism sucks. But I really want to get back to this, so I'm going to start small by setting up the next round and I'll post the mini-fics when I can!
(Setting up the next round will take some time but I'm working on it!)

Izaya could get himself out of the Pit™️ through parkour and then sit watching the remaining villain tournament rounds in the stands eating popcorn with glee. Maybe trying to rope L and Light into joining him because he thinks they're both interesting, especially since Light seems nervous about something.

SCP 049 wins, because we all love a spooky plague doctor

Greatest superpower? Being underestimated.

Tumblr media
Ben Linus (Lost): Delivers the creepiest threatening monologue of all time and ends with a chipper "You guys got any milk?"
SCP 049 (SCP): Category: perfectly mannered birdie with a bit of an dangerous obsession

Skoodge won by exactly 1 vote
So Congratulations Team Invader Skoodge and Clay!
If anyone can come up with a team name pls share
The only thing I can think of that they have in common is the color green
Small Bracket Round 2-14
Tumblr media
Invader Skoodge (Invader Zim): He doesn't seem bothered by the fact his rulers betrayed him, his first instinct is to try to get back into their good graces immediately, presumably so he can get his old job back which was, ah, you know. Destroying planets.
Clay Puppington (Moral Orel): Bloberta: Please, when do you ever remember?/Clay:…all I do is try to forget.

Curtain Victory! Ladd walked in ready to beat him to a bloody pulp but Curtain talked to him and all his rage just vanished. Brainwashed? No of course he's not brainwashed! He's just... docile? Oh no. send for help!
At least he's taking the loss well! And by "Well" I mean he's comatose.
Ladd Russo: Fans say: I actually hate him so freaking much. It's me. I'm fans.
He's in love with a girl who is super apathetic about being alive, and his goal is to kill every person on earth that wants to be more alive than his sweetheart, and then he'll kill her. It's weird but the devotion is real
Small Bracket Round 2-12
Tumblr media
Ladd Russo (Baccano!): "Thank you! Fuck you! The star is here!"
L. D. Curtain (The Mysterious Benedict Society- specifically the TV Show): He's so sweet in a way that makes you think "oh, that's blatant emotional manipulation and/or gaslighting"

Small Bracket Round 2-11
Tumblr media
Hades (Kid Icarus: Uprising): But she's old news, and old news bores me. We must look to the future, and that future is me
Alfred Bester (Babylon 5): "Much as it might offend their sense of perspective, not everything is about Babylon 5"- Alfred Bestar, Babylon 5

In the battle I'm belatedly naming Malewife vs. Girlboss: The Malewife wins? I'm so proud of him!
Honestly I think he won by being emotionally vulnerable and talking about his childhood until Charlie took pity on him. But like, the awkward kind of pity.
Charlie: As of now, she is shoring up the power of darkness to fight a war against the Moon (Long Story)
Small Bracket Round 2-10
Tumblr media
King Richard (Galavant): By the beginning of season 2 he was kicked out of his kingdom by his queen and best friend and follows Galavant around like a sad puppy
Charlie (Don’t Starve Together): (under cut due to potential spoilers)
Charlie: After her Magician is overthrown, Charlie takes the Shadow throne (a cursed chair that grants power over this world at the cost your sanity and freedom) for herself and becomes the queen of the Constant, and a ruler of shadow.

Janus Win!
RIP Joshua Kiryu: "Everyone has their own little internal world - a secret garden only they can enter. Each world follows its own internal logic - individuality. And the logic of one world means nothing in another. Understanding other people isn't hard…..It's impossible."
Small Bracket Round 2-9
Tumblr media
Joshua Kiryu (The World ends with you): Shoots you with a smile!!!
Janus Sanders (Sanders sides): -mimicking alarm- WHOOP, WHOOP! Reptilian Rapscallion! REPTILIAN RAPSCALLION! WE'VE GOT A CODE YELLOW!!

Dr. Carmilla wins ...
If I had slightly less willpower Team Tax Fraud would move on as Team Election Fraud, but no. They had their chance, and now Alex and Morgan will be roaming VilCon like the married couple they literally are!
with the rest of my unused flavor-text please enjoy one of my absolute favorite piece of fan art ever (by the incredible @redredhanded)!
Tumblr media
It's referencing one of the best arcs in S and D Tier. So here's one last pitch to check it out, there's over 250 episodes on YouTube!
Alex Stewart: So they have no canon gender, but let's be real, they have 2 genders: bloodlust and pining
Alex: I have no weaknesses/ Morgan: *Exists* / Alex: I have no weaknesses (lying)
Morgan Sterling: best friends with their archnemeses: the one with a spirit dog and Market-Pantry-Indiana-Jones
(The archnemises are dating)
Morgan: Took one look at a fluffy bug-like hive mind:
Tumblr media
Said "is anyone going to co-parent it?" and didn't wait for an answer. Also gave it a tiny little back-pack!!!
Tumblr media
Small Bracket Round 2-7
Tumblr media
Dr. Carmilla (Dr. Carmilla and/or The Mechanisms): Has a collection of adopted immoral, feral, immortal space pirate children
Team Tax Fraud - incredible art by @bogkeep (there's more S and D tier on their blog and it's all extremely good!)
Alex Stewart (S and D tier):
Superpower: Yes
Gender: Ambiguous
Bloodlust: Uncontrollable
Morgan Sterling (S and D tier): Went to Minimum (The prison where they shrink you!) No, like, minimum security

Artemis Victory!
Lore Update:
In round 1 Artemis just sat on a folding chair in the middle of the stage, reading The Iliad in the original Greek.
...
That strategy was taken away from him in round 2 the second Tigerstar saw Firestar walking in with Artemis.
So for an hour a day, every day for a week Artemis had to wrestle and pin a very feral cat that was out for his blood. And blood he got! Artemis is extremely scratched up, and will have some distinctive scars for the remainder of VilCon. Scars and! at least two rounds of victory.
Here are some things said by Tigerstar to Firestar in the past:
“Keep your eyes open, Fireheart. Keep your ears pricked. Keep looking behind you. Because one day I'll find you, and then you'll be crowfood.”
“You speak from your heart, young Firepaw. This will make you a stronger warrior one day." said Lionheart Tigerclaw growled. "Or it might make him give in to kittypet weakness right at the moment of attack”
He's really not happy rn..
Small Bracket Round 2-6
Tumblr media
Tigerstar (Warrior Cats): AND WHEN HE DIED!!! HE DIDNT EVEN FUCKING GO AWAY!!! HE STILL STAYED IN THE DARK FOREST AND TRIED TO KILL EVERYONE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!
Artemis Fowl (Artemis Fowl): He's an evil genius who corrects his therapist on inconsequential facts to invalidate his advice. At age 12!
And yes, Firestar is now part of Artemis's entourage. He's trying to figure out how Tigerstar beat a dragon.

Johnny Wins!
I'm sorry, specifically to head-full-of-lawyers anon. Have a collection of things said by Manfred von Karma:
Witness, you've had a long day. Shut your pie-hole.
I set my ATM card's number to "0001" because I'm number one!
So what? My granddaughter has a dog she calls Phoenix! Well, Mr Phoenix Wright? Does that make you my grand-daughter's fiancée?! She's only seven years old!
This photo is worth a thousand words… and they all read "guilty"!
I've heard of desperate men grasping at straws, but this is the first time I've heard of men grasping at macaws! Hah!
Objection! Sustained!
Small Bracket Round 2-5
Tumblr media
Johnny C (Johnny the homicidal Maniac): Also, there was that one time he kidnapped a guy to have him taste test the stuff in his fridge.
Manfred von Karma (Ace Attorney): From the submission: "He did commit murder and I am not brushing that aside" -Me about basically every character I love

Lord Dominator moves on, like a girlboss
RIP Izaya, every picture of you looks like:
Tumblr media
“As a human, what kind of achievements will you leave behind? I bet you’ll leave behind a legacy as a psychotic killer, and that thrills me!”
“The harder you try to see the good in people the easier it is to fake you out.”
“It’s kinda scary how much people trust me.”
“It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.”
“Well, if I had to give a reason for my actions, I guess it’s because I love people. I guess I wanted to see the faces that mankind has to offer."
Small Bracket Round 2-4
Tumblr media
Lord Dominator (Wander Over Yonder): She has an entire song "I'm The Bad Guy" that's all about how, unlike other villains, she doesn't do it for fame or money or to be appreciated, but just caus eshe has fun killing! She's da best.
Izaya Orihara (Durarara!! and Durarara!! x2): No matter if it's convincing someone to kill themselves, stomping on a girl's cellphone, burning his game items, or fighting/running from his long time rival he can always be seen with a smile on his face.

Team Bibi (and also Claire is still here for some reason) moves on!
Sorry Clobber: She's a dead ringer for Animated Lugnut, but with lipstick.
Small Bracket Round 2-3
Tumblr media
Clobber (Transformers: Cyberverse): Cyber Cyclops: Has one optic. She would like another.
Beatrice (Bibi) (I Love Amy) with Claire Stanfield (Baccano!) cheering loudly in her ear:
Bibi: she is soo commits crimes w a little smile.
Claire: "I don't know if she wants to meet up so she can kill me, or because she actually likes me. It's driving me a little crazy. Y'know. And for the sake of argument let's say she is trying to kill me. I don't necessarily think that necessarily means that she isn't in love with me!"
