Classic Literature Sexyperson Tournament; Round 1
propaganda:
Mercutio:
has an article
watch the baz lurhman movie. that's the propaganda.
He is absolutely full of Gender and chaos and frightening narrative awareness for a guy who seems to think (hope?) he’s in a comedy until the minute he dies. I love a guy who can prophesy the deaths of his friends while consistently being comic relief.
i mean come on.
I feel like Mercutio fits exactly into the sexy person category. He’s a prince, he’s a fighter, he may ambiguously be in love with his besties, hes a silly guy, he dies tragically.
Carmilla:
Um. Vampire. Seductress. Sapphic
#HAHA WAR FLASHBACKS ANYONE?????#first; who's gayer. now; who's sexier#reminder: BE CIVIL!!!!! <3#you can write propaganda and i'll rb it!#tournament poll#classic lit sexyperson bracket#r1c#round 1#romeo and juliet#carmilla

Classic Literature Sexyperson Tournament; Round 1
propaganda:
Quincey:
quincey deserves #1 sexyman prize. he is the token cowboy. in a gothlit book. his first instinct when in danger in to randomly shoot through windows to (scare the shit out of) protect his friends. he decided he would literally die for a group of people he met like 3 hours ago because they seemed nice enough. he's texan for christ's sake.
tropes: angst (dead), bait, distinctive voice, LGTBQ+ coded (dracula polycule is canon bram told me so), himbo (-ish), well dressed (cowboy).
Dracula:
owwsaawoagghb. older gentleman who is very regal and polite and is a fucking vampire how much sexier can you get
Obv everyone knows vampire sexy. The sensuality of drinking blood is *chef's kiss*. But I just really wanted an excuse to share this one thing, that isn't even related directly to the novel. So, my junior year of high school we read Dracula, and then our class went on a field trip to see a local theatre group perform the Dracula stage play-- and EVERY TIME Dracula came on stage, his neckline would progressively dip Lower and Lower (like. Comedically so) until he was soooo close to showing just straight up tiddie, but still juuuust barely not-- the tease was immaculate and istg it was doing Something for everyone in the audience. It was transcendent. An awakening. Even all these years later when my old high school friends and I bring it up, the only detail we can remember from that performance is Count Dracula's plunging neckline and that's Gotta count for something right

Classic Literature Sexyperson Tournament; Round 1
propaganda:
Catherine:
Catherine's most defining features are being toxic and not knowing when to pack her stuff and move to the other side of the countries to get away from the men in her life but she's also passionate, free-minded and beautiful, a rather sexy combo
Jonathan and Mina:
(for Jonathan) sad. wet. wife guy. bisexual. he can do it all
(for Mina) There's nothing sexier than a smart women whos clearly homoerotic for her best friend.

Classic Literature Sexyperson Tournament; Round 1
propaganda:
Enjolras:
We love a man with a cause resigned to a tragic fate. Juxtaposition between his passion for patria and his description as a 'marble' man, idk its doin something for me. Also musicalverse Enjolras is incredibly hot no matter who plays him and Was in fact tween me's sexual awakening. Smthin about a man who would be completely and utterly uninterested in me irl is also... idk... kinda sexy 😏😏 he def gives me gay ace vibes but that's OK I'll just sit back and read my silly little stories and admire from afar.
“a charming young man, who was capable of being terrible” is that not the core of the sexyperson trope when you get down to it?
Trouillefou:
he is so silly and goofy. the only thing to ever beat him was a gun in the book because. he is a cutthroat but not a cutpurse and hes cool in most versions i think. look at him go!

Classic Literature Sexyperson Tournament; Round 1
propaganda:
Woland:
I saw someone submit behemoth and thought this guy has to be in here too. Tropes: Weird eye/Eye imagery, Suitguy, European, Theatrical/Artsy. A lot of versions of him both fan and in official adaptations give off Dilfy vibes too.
He’s implied to be the devil but he also isn’t really since religion seems to work differently in universe. Cosmic and Time powers are implied too
Nastasya Filippovna:
SHE'S EVERYTHING! She can be a girlboss AND a wet cat at the same time! Has several mental illnesses (and I'm actually really sorry for her) but also very rich. Can have any man she wants but she's so broken inside that can't even decide between the most kind man in her life and fucking psychopath. Also she's canonicly hot. She's the best! Vote for a wet cat of a woman!
----Troupes----
–Angst
–European
–Criminal (most likely)
–Controversial IN CANON
–Dominating
–Egotistical
–Girlboss
–Intelligence
–Obsessive (kinda...???)
–Pathetic
–Upper-Class
–Morally Grey
–Well-Dressed

Murderer + pathetic wet beast personality = perfect sexyman
tropes: angst (very sad and pathetic), european (russian), burton (very creepy), capitalist (kills two women for money), criminal (murderer), egotistical (deadass did the whole “i didn’t kill them, but IF i did” to a POLICE OFFICER), long coat/hat, neurodivergent coded (there is SOMETHING with him, but def anxiety/depression), obsessive (idolizes Napolean), pale twink (that man is SICKLY, SKINNY, and PALE), pathetic (do i have to explain?), religious imagery (dunno too much but nihilism vs religion plays a huge part in his development), smartdumb (went to college, but dumb enough to think he can get away with murder), tall, thin, traitor (to his loved ones), unkept, villain protagonist
also he has an article

Alyosha:
He was the first person I thought of for this. Honestly, reading the trope list, there aren't many that he fits into, but he absolutely makes my tumblr corner go wild.
