WELCOME TO CRINGETOBER!
I wanted to post the prompt list a month in advance so people have time to work on it :)
There are no hard rules; it's just a fun art exercise to draw things that are considered "cringe" by popular culture. Don't stress if you miss a day!!
Even if you don't participate, it would mean the world to me if you just shared the prompt list because it took me a while to make it lol.
I hope you have fun with it!!!

I told the creators of Welcome to Night Vale about the sexyman poll.
im taking a narrative podcast production course, and we had joseph fink and jeffery cranor come speak to the class over zoom
as the final question of our Very Serious QA panel, i told them about the tumblr sexyman poll, with hundreds of thousands of votes, and that cecil still won a decade later. i asked if the power of creating The Sexiest Fictional Man was something that could go to their heads. they couldnt stop laughing.
joseph gave a long spiel about how grateful he is for the impact Night Vale had — he told a story about seeing a fictional flights board in an airport and that it felt so strange to see Night Vale up there. he was super humble and said that Night Vale ‘belongs to the fans’ and takes no ownership of Sexy Creationism.
then jeffery comes in like ‘yeah, what he said, but personally i think it does go to my head’ and giggled and said “It feels pretty awesome.”

Highlights from the entire MCYT Sexyman Tournament
Before the Tournament Began (Nomination Phase):
-Goodtimeswithscar getting over 2000 nominations for the poll
-Two people's minecraft ocs were nominated, and one of those ocs actually got into the competition
-The runners of the poll telling people not to tell the CCs about this, only for every CC to find out about this poll and start rallying their fans to vote for them
-Joe Hills got very jealous that Scar had more votes than him to the point where he literally used Tumblr Blaze to promote himself, and posted a video of him swimming in a pool on his blog
-Technodad also encouraging people to vote for his son after finding out about the polls
The Main Tournament:
-Dream getting absolutely decked by Seepeekay (deserved)
-Clownpierce and Tubbo's poll ending in 50% by 50% where the people running the poll had to go into the polls literal code to find out that Clownpierce won by only 18 votes
-Clownpierce getting beaten out by Aimsey in Round 2 immediately afterwards
-Quackity and Schlatt losing their polls at first, only for people to churn out propaganda, and getting them the wins by very close calls
-The Dominion SMP fandom made alliances with other fandoms (the Lifesteal fandom being one of them) to try and get Vikingpilot more votes
-JimmySolidarity looking at the polls and seeing that someone called him a "wet paper bag of a man"
-Martyn voting for his friends in the polls
-One Tumblr blog made a straight up news channel for the polls
-Someone else also made an easier way to read votes on polls
-Another person converted the voting data into line graphs
-Scott calling Jimmy a queerbaiter when their characters went up against each other
-The Scar vs Techno fight, the Wilbur vs Joe fight, and the Grian vs Quackity fight, all happening in the same round
-Huge amounts of voter fraud
-Grian winning his fight with Quackity, only for Quackblr to change the tides in the last few minutes (perhaps one of the craziest fights I have ever seen)
-The poll made it onto Tumblr trending
-Quackblr made an alliance with the Ethogirls, which eventually led to fanart of Quackity and Etho together, along with a few "infamous" edited photos (you know what I'm talking about)
-The voter fraud in the poll eventually lead to the possibility of Tumblr actually dealing with the pornbot situation
-The whole entire event had powerpoint presentations for peoples favorite blorbos, propaganda, fanart, alliances, even a few written oneshots
-Literally just every poll with Quackity
-Other people made polls inspired by this one (@mcytblrcringefail as one example)
-The fact that the poll literally revived the entire fandom
-The poll became canon in Jimmy’s 30 day Minecraft Hardcore server
-And most importantly, Joe Hills, the one MCYT who did the most campaigning, won the polls against Scar
Thank you @mcytblrsexymen. You have done an amazing job.
