Worst Video Game Song Tournament - Round 1 Match 26
Namco Arcade 80's Retro Medley - Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
youtube
VERSUS
I Love Beijing Tiananmen - Hong Kong 97
youtube
FIGHT!
I would recommend listening to as much as you can of each song before voting, but how you choose is up to you! Remember to be civil in the tags and replies!
Propaganda under cut:
Namco Arcade 80's Retro Medley:
"The individual songs are fine but as medley..they just didn't even try. The songs just jarringly play one after another and are so minimal and offputting like this. and then it has an ending melody immediately followed by the intro melody..it's so bad. i barely played sm4sh (smorsh) but i remember the ambience of the namco level just being so, so awkward for a smash game."
I Love Beijing Tiananmen:
"It's a 6 second loop of SNES quality voice recording that plays endlessly. Deliberately bad."
Feel free to add more propaganda in the tags and replies, or send it to me in the ask box and I'll try to share it as soon as I can!

A Tumblr poll tourney to find out Tumblrs most popular Queer/LGBTQIA+ Awakening Character!
Submissions are now closed! Thankyou!
Fight, fight, fight!
Info: Back when uquiz was still a big thing, i made one where the fun optional question at the end was to tell me about a character that that you associate with your own queer awakening, so of course i had to get all autistic about it and made an excel sheet of the results even though i received over 3000 replies. Thought this would make a fun poll tourney too so here we are!
I might use some of the characters from that quiz (eg. Shego was the most common answer and I have a feeling she'll be submitted quite a bit here too) but feel free to submit some more please!
I say 'character' more often than not but your submission does not need to be a fictional character, eg. actors and musicians may be submitted.
The character submitted does not need to be queer themselves, you just need to associate them with your own queerness/awakening.
'Queer awakening' is a broad statement. They could be a character you had a gay crush on, a character that gave you gender envy, or even a character that you remember get queer vibes from.
Inspired by other Tumblr tourneys such as @queer-media-tourney, @hotvintagepoll, and @80s-music-tourney !
Run by @seeraphina 😗✌️

How do we spend time with the student body when we aren't bangin' like bunnies? Like, do we have a movie watch party with the werewolves, gaming marathon with Lidya, just a chill day with the Centipede? Playing sports, study group, etc. I am all for the fucking frenzy like everyone else, but I just wanted to know what are things we do together in our free time :v
Of course! There's lots to do around campus on a day-to-day basis, both organized by the university itself or just what the students like to do on their off time. It's a big part of monster culture to throw parties and hang out with people whether you know them really well or just met, so it's likely that you could be swept into a bush party or invited into someone's dorm to smoke or play board games without even knowing their names.
As for individual students, again, there's lots! With the werewolves being the jocks they are, they're most likely to go live it up at the frat parties and afterparties for the sports games or dances, so if drinking and partying in general is your thing you'll always have a group to go with you (and keep you safe!). Although you'll have to deal with their incessant clinginess when they inevitably get hangovers, and suffer through the touchiest cuddle piles imaginable if more than one or two of them are feeling nauseous or have headaches. If you've got plans the next day, definitely skip the hardcore partying with them the night before!
Lidya and Jude are probably the ones you'll hang out with the most since they're pretty much always available, and since nobody else really tends the arcade she can pretty much open and close it whenever she wants. So if you're in the mood, she'll open up a private or public gaming tourney and you can spend hours just hanging out, talking, and trying to beat each other at your favourite games, and once it gets late she'll get food delivered and you can watch a movie or something on the sofa in the backroom. The best part is that she's spent so much time tinkering with Jude's hardware that she's come up with a couple different devices to take him out into the real world! She has yet to make anything crazy like an android body (she's working on that as a future birthday gift) but for now she's got a keychain that has a modified USB and what looks like a little retro Tamagotchi; the USB is for her to plug into the arcade cabinets so she can upload his data and he can play alongside you guys, and the Tamagotchi has a pixely little version of Jude inside that she can take around so he doesn't get lonely. Whenever she's out of the arcade, there's a good 80-90% chance that she's got Jude with her, so if you wanna hang out you can do so pretty much anywhere! She can even plug him into the laptop she's got at her dorm, although the last time she did that he got ahold of some....ahem, sensitive file folders she wanted to keep private, so she'll only let him in there if you wanna watch something online with her in her room.
As for centipede, you hit the nail on the head! If Efraim's not in class he's usually getting high, so you can stop by his dorm day or night and get a free hit off him pretty much anytime. Don't get me wrong, there are definitely times when he's handsy or you can clearly tell he was planning on jerking off instead of entertaining company, but in general it's just harmless fun and you can just bum around his dorm doing nothing if you want. He's always in the mood to watch a movie or listen to music, and he's surprisingly not averse to cooking and not too bad at it either, so if you get hungry or you're just bored hell find something you two can make together to kill a couple hours. He does that a lot, you'll find--if there's a distinct lull in conversation or your mood shifts downward, he might offer, but most times he'll just quietly get up off the couch and go fix you something to eat. Even if it's just cutting an apple and some peanut butter or making you a sandwich, he fills time pretty well with putzing around the kitchen in the hopes of finding you something you really, really like. Do keep in mind that he's got roommates, however, and although Zombie can be a pretty amiable guy to share a space with...his slime roommate is less so. So if they're home, Efraim will probably try to keep your hangout to his bedroom to limit the distractions.
It may sound a little odd, but your yeti professor is pretty open to spending time together, too! Aryck holds baking lessons quite often and he's almost always in the kitchen, so if you're ever bored or looking to expand your culinary expertise he's usually around. You can even be his taste tester if you want, and hang around the classroom for an hour or two while he tests recipes and puts together his lesson plans for the next semester! It may feel a little awkward at first, but it turns into great fun once you open up to him a little more. A lot of the professors either spend much of their time on campus or are looking for assistance in some of their menial academic tasks, so you could probably find any professor you like and hang out with them awhile in exchange for some easy labour and snacks as a reward. The orc metalworking professor holds girls-only workshops weekly too, which is a great way to get to know the girls at school since they're all so friendly and are eager to make new friends! Go there once and you'll be invited to every sleepover and girl's night and brunch for the rest of the year! And of course, the resident doctor on campus is constantly cycling through "assistants" for his questionable medical trials, so if you're feeling brave you can come help him out and be treated to teatime afterwards.
The harpies are great fun, too! There's a group of them that live in the same dorm building as you do, and while they can be excitable and sometimes a little loud late at night, they're always eager to have company and will invite you in if you so much as pass by their door. They're not only great for parties or dances but they do a lot of studying together too, so they'd be happy to cram together for your exams and midterms! And they know all the professor's likes and weaknesses, so they'll get you any important info you may need if you have to appeal to them so they'll curve your grade. Plus, free snacks!
The university holds lots of intramurals for various sports all throughout the year, too, so even if you don't want to join a team or commit for a whole season you can still play with both the athletes and the casuals, and the pool is almost always open so swimming is a year-round option too. The werewolves and Priam do these a lot during the winter months when the football season is in a lull, so they'll always be up for pretty much any sport you wanna do and will be all too happy to show you how to play if you're a newbie. Plus, they've got rec rooms separate from the arcade in nearly every dorm building and in a few of the main academic buildings, which have the usual dartboards, pool tables, community game consoles, cards, board games, and D&D style books along with signup sheets to join oneshots or campaign groups. Many of the non-athletic clubs and groups gather in the rec rooms around campus, so it's a good way to get a feel for any extracurriculars you might wanna join! Antón runs a book club and Ollie's part of the chess team, for example, so if there's something you're interested in there's probably either someone you know that's in it or a professor you've got that's running it.
Of course, you could always attend sermons or the charity events the chapel holds too, if you feel so inclined--it may be intimidating to walk in knowing how the Archangel feels about you, especially where his protégé is involved. But Isaac would be more than happy to take your hand and show you around, and he'll stick to your side like glue during any events so you won't get caught alone with Mikael and have an interrogation thrown your way. He'll take the tongue-lashing happily in your stead once you're gone--he's used to the strict hand the high angels take anyways, and he's gone through the purity rituals so many times he could sleep through them at this point. If it means you're more likely to come around more often, he'll gladly sit through a lecture as many times as he needs to!
Also, whether you're a strong swimmer or can't swim at all, Nessie and the Kraken always somehow appear when you come to take a dip in the lake. Nessie's unashamedly competitive if you're good and will want to race and time how long you can hold your breath, but if you're not a swimmer at all, he and the Kraken will want very badly to teach you. It's more of Nessie's active guidance that you'll get as he holds you and shows you how to tread and paddle, but you can be reassured that if you ever get scared or the current pulls you down too far, the Kraken will rouse within moments and extend its tentacles from the depths to push you back up to the surface for air. If need be, it'll even carry you above the water and let you down once you're at the shore, or it'll let out that deep, rumbly cry to alert Nessie to your plight so he'll come splashing up to help you!

It’s throwback time!
The tournament is exactly what it sounds like, so submit your favorite 80s new wave songs here!
What submissions count?
Since new wave was late 70s through mid 80s, submission dates are going to be lose. Keep in mind that popular songs and those that defined the decade or were significant in one way or another are more likely to make the final cut — sorry to those of you who have more obscure tastes!
Most importantly, submissions have to be new wave. Here’s what that means, for reference: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_wave_music
I’m still trying to decide whether there will be a limitation on the number of songs per artists, but I will probably have a better idea the more submissions come in.
Other rules
Don’t spam submit the same song, but you can submit as many entries as you wish
I will do my best to reblog any propaganda tagged with my @
Be kind!
There will only be 64 songs selected for the new wave tournament because I will otherwise lose my mind, so please be aware that if there ends up being a ton of submissions your song may not get in.
I will leave submissions open for about two weeks, or until the amount of submissions exceeds a quantity that I can sort through reasonably :)
Tagging for visibility but also because they’re cool and you should check them out:

80s BAND BRACKET!!!
Do you have a band you like that made their debut in the 80s? PUT EM IN!!!
Submission form
Only 1 rule! They must have formed in the 80s or made their first album in the 80s! If they made music after the 80s, they are still allowed in.
Bands with less submissions are more likely to be chosen if enthusiasm is shown in the reasoning for their submission!
I will be including 2 bands by default (one of which I'm sure will be submitted anyway)
(I'm also the mod for @john-battle and @album-cover-battle!)
