Redemption Round One Masterpost

Round One had wrapped, and it's time for our next set of polls!

Before continuing onto Round Two, we will first visit some less-than-favorite friends -- up next is Redemption Round One! This will only include 8 matches, which are as follows:

MAG 134 Time of Revelation vs. MAG 191 What We Lose

MAG 031 First Hunt vs. MAG 033 Boatswain's Call

MAG 198 Precipice vs. MAG 020 Desecrated Host

MAG 076 The Smell of Blood vs. MAG 194 Parting

MAG 195 Adrift vs. MAG 139 The Architecture of Fear

MAG 030 Killing Floor vs. MAG 189 Peers

MAG 025 Growing Dark vs. MAG 037 Burnt Offering

MAG 027 A Sturdy Lock vs. MAG 190 Scavengers

In addition, you may have noticed that we have had one tie! Match 68, MAG 129 Submerged vs. MAG 063 The End of the Tunnel tied perfectly with 148 votes each. The rematch will be posted along with Redemption Round One!

Barring any hiccups in my availability (I'm traveling today from the holiday weekend), all nine polls will be posted starting at 12:00 PM, EST, on Monday, April 10! Polls will be linked here once they are posted and I have time to edit this post.

Gay wrongs tournament, round 1 of the losers bracket

Propaganda:

For Kid and Killer:

there’s some somewhat recent anime episodes where there’s a lot of “I would do anything for you” “I would put my life on the line for you” and it’s just. There’s no way they’re not dating. Also they’re big scary pirates that pillage and fuck stuff up and we love that for them

They have been together committing crimes and killing people ever since childhood and they’re not about to stop any time soon

They are badass pirates who both have a huge bounty on their head. Killer's epithet is 'Massacre Soldier/Murder Mashine' (depending on the translation), so he probably got quite some blood on his hands. Kid is his captain, and has a reputation of not caring about civilian casualties and destroying more than necessary to defeat his opponent. Also, the whole crew crusified some other crew. But besides being murderous, these two care so fucking much about each other! They've been friends (lovers?) since childhood and would literally do anything for each other, including dying. Kid will destroy anyone who laughs at his partner (how he canonically calls Killer), lets himself be recaptured just after he escaped prison to save his partner, and Killer eats a faulty SMILE fruit that stops him from portraying any other emotion than laughing, makes him unable to swim, and doesn't gain him any powers, just to get a CHANCE to save his captain. When Kid saw him laugh while he obviously didn't want to, it broke his heart in many pieces (and ours with it). It's true love, your honor. True, murderous love.

For Wylan van Eck and Jesper Fahey:

Jesper is a sharpshooter that never misses a hit, Wylan is a demolitions expert, once Wylan sang a national anthem to save Jesper from some guards

So Jesper is a high profile member of this gang called the Dregs, he’s their sharpshooter. He also has a serious gambling problem and actually enjoys his job because it gives him the same adrenaline high. Wylan is brought in on this big impossible heist, officially as the demolitions expert, but really because he’s actually the runaway son of the man who is meant to pay them and so he’s insurance that they get their money. They are both incredibly talented at destruction, undermining governments and killing several people. At one point they end up with a tank. At another Wylan makes a chemical concoction that gives off the appearance of plague scars in a city with serious plague related trauma, setting off all the alarms and sending the whole place into utter anarchy. Jesper shoots a man around a corner. Also this quote exists. Jesper:‘I'm not big on killing unconscious men." Wylan:"We could wake them up." This is even funnier when you consider that Wylan is a skinny freckled ginger who’s basically a glorified chemist and possesses no social skills. I love him so much.

That quote from the book where Jesper was like "I'm not gonna kill unconscious people" about a bunch of knocked out enemies and Wylan was like "Well can't we wake them up then?"

LOSER'S BRACKET! ROUND 3, MATCH 1 OUT OF 2!

Loser's Bracket Propaganda Under the Cut:

Noddy:

They deserve a second chance :3

Noddy was absolutely robbed. Kirby is cute, yes, and he can be sleepy, but Noddy IS THE SLEEPY GUY FROM KIRBY... plus, he's orange!

Bringing back mod's original propaganda for Noddy (and editing it slightly): Noddies are almost always sleeping when you see them! They give Kirby the Sleep Ability, and their name comes from the verb “nod off”, meaning “to snooze”! You can find a bunch of them in Rainbow Resort, which happens to be near where the Dream Fountain (which is responsible for giving people good dreams) is! (Also Rainbow Resort’s music is so calming and pretty, you should listen to it! /not forcing) Because you almost always see these little guys sleeping, they never attack Kirby! The most you’ll get is a slow walk towards Kirby before they fall back asleep if you startle them awake (walk into them) :3 They're also super cute! :D

[ID: Digital drawings of Shirahama Kyouji from Sasaki to Miyano. There are several loose bust sketches of him in various expressions, including tired, blushing, and smiling. One sketch is rendered in a stereotypical, exaggerated anime style, with the words “anime self insert” pointed at it and “とてもかっこいい！！” (“totemo kakkoii”; very cool) and “きゃぁぁ” (“kyaa”) written around it. There are small shaped drawings of Miyano and Shirahama in the top left corner, and the words “November 9” written in the corner. /End ID]

Shirahamaaaaa kyouji. 👍 REALIZING I NEVER POSTED THIS.? Went to reblog it in light of recent chapters but couldn’t find it. Lo and behold. In my drafts. Anyways. It’s here now. Those chapters craaazzyyyy huh. Ha ha.

Redemption Round Quarter Finals

About Chai HE'S SO FUCKING CRINGE IT'S INSANE. his negotiation skills suck ass and he knows it. he gets punched in the face and lands with his ass face up many times. wanders into traps despite being told they are traps. tells puns that his teammates mostly hate. launched himself out of a cannon despite everyone going 'that will be so fucking dangerous what the FUCK' and it only worked because he landed on a balloon and bounced onto a different floor which drew attention. gets bitchslapped by one boss and basically wrestled into the floor by another. smacks someone's head into the doorframe three separate times. 'found a shortcut' and the shortcut is so stupid

About Sanji in terms of cringefail loser, everyone and their mother knows he's a huge simp and would do anything to get a woman to even look at him, even if it means embarrassing himself (which is the case more than half of the time). even addressing women he gets the most pathetic wimpy little voice which to me is his version of a cute voice that is not befitting of this grown ass man which usually just leaves the women he addressed through that voice and manner uncomfortable, unnerved, or disturbed. he actually does respect women very much he just has 0 fucking rizz and his designation as the perverted character despite having one of the strongest character arcs makes it worse

well historically that's not... true

but sure, i guess if you take out kim, charlie, babe, and way it'll work
