Another fantastic poll to follow!

Hello, and welcome to the poll/tournament where we celebrate fictional women who have something severely wrong with them (complimentary)!

Submissions are open until end of April.

Submission form can be found here. If this form isn’t working for you or you can’t access it, then send the character name, where she’s from, and any relevant character information via this blog’s submissions button.

RULES!!

PLEASE do not submit real people. This includes versions of historical figures seen in biopics or similar works. Other than that, female characters from any medium are welcome!

“Messy” is a subjective term, but in this case, it mainly means “female characters with flaws and/or major psychological issues that are generally considered to be unacceptable.” This can range from “is abrasive and selfish” or “widely seen as ‘hysterical’/‘crazy’” to much more morally thorny like “is a murderer/war criminal”. (Basically, if her behavior would get her labelled by fandom at large as “Irredeemable™” she probably belongs here.) The more unpopular/disliked the female character, the better.

Submitted characters don’t necessarily have to be morally-grey to outright-villainous (see above), but it is highly encouraged.

Cersei Lannister from Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire and Himeno from Chainsaw Man will automatically be included because I love them, and also because they were the ones who inspired me to make this poll in the first place.

No fictional crime is too great to potentially disqualify a character/prevent her inclusion. No, not even that one.

Submit as many characters as you want, but I ask that you don’t submit the same character over and over. One submission per character.

Submissions to determine who will be included in this tournament will be ultimately vetted by me. As mentioned above, “messy” is an incredibly subjective term, but ultimately if a character is not deemed to be sufficient levels of fucked-up, I won’t include her here.

Major inspiration from @goodoldfashionedmurderboy‘s Number One Murdergirl polls.

Congratulations to Lady Macbeth for being voted tumblr's official number one murdergirl!

The competition was tough but at the end of the day you simply can't outdo the do-er!

#prev see this is why Cersei was the only GoT character I put in the poll #Cersei fans are generally chill #I didn't want to have to live with the levels of salt in the notes if Arya or Dany were in the poll and then lost lol

THE GRAND FINAL:

GLaDOS (Portal) vs Lady Macbeth (Macbeth)

THE QUEST FOR THE ULTIMATE MURDERGIRL

What is a murdergirl?

A murdergirl is a character who:

Is female

Either commits murder, commits attempted murder, or directly or indirectly causes a significant amount of otherwise avoidable death, e.g. by starting a war, or knowingly allowing a preventable disaster to happen

The fandom for the piece of media they're from absolutely does not know how to be normal about them. ("[x character] did nothing wrong" vs "[x character] is the literal devil" type arguments, for one example)

(with the murdergirls I also think the girlbossification of their actions is also a common element, such as replying to someone listing the character's crimes with "good for her <3" or "god forbid a woman do anything 😤". that's just a personal observation rather than a requirement though)

So what are we doing here?

Simple, silly! Having found tumblr's official Ultimate Murderboy (congrats again Guillermo), we're now running a tournament to find tumblr's ultimate murdergirl!

(Before you attack me for you your fave not making the list: the list was originally nearly 50 before I narrowed it down to the required 32. Turns out tumblr is absolutely full to bursting with female characters who kill people who no-one in their fandom is normal about. It was very very hard but I did my best to represent as wide a scope of media as possible while still making sure people who absolutely HAD to be there were there. Here's a link to the The Best Of The Rest poll, to see some of the murdergirls who ONLY JUST didn't make the cut.)

Just for fun:

Here is the server's unofficial official spotify playlist!

Okay, that's enough stalling, let's get down to business.

Round one:

Medea (Greek Mythology) vs Pink Diamond (Steven Universe)

Mapleshade (Warrior Cats) vs Morgana (Merlin)

Edelgard (Fire Emblem) vs Villanelle (Killing Eve)

Helen (The Magnus Archives) vs Mrs Lovett (Sweeney Todd)

Catra (She-Ra and the Princesses of Power) vs Carrie White (Carrie)

Grell Sutcliff (Black Butler) vs Harley Quinn (DC)

Missy/The Master (Doctor Who) vs Hollyleaf (Warrior Cats)

Circus Baby/Elizabeth Afton (FNAF) vs Tiffany Valentine (Child's Play)

Zira (The Lion King) vs Cersei Lannister (Game of Thrones)

Imperatrix (Yonderland) vs Tracy Barlow (Coronation Street)

Lady Macbeth (Macbeth) vs Junko Enoshima (Danganronpa)

Azula (ATLA) vs Nadja of Antipaxos (WWDITS)

Monika (Doki Doki Literature Club) vs Jennifer Check (Jennifer's Body)

Vriska (Homestuck) vs Misa Amane (Death Note)

Grace Monroe (Infinity Train) vs Starlight Glimmer (My Little Pony)

GLaDOS (Portal) vs Cheryl Blossom (Riverdale)
