Updates, Apologies, and Moving Forward!

Hello everyone! I am not dead, and this blog is not dead. I know I've been gone for a very long time again, and I'm very sorry.

I had to say goodbye to my cat, my emotional support animal, my baby. I won't say too much here, but she was suffering, and unfortunately there was nothing that could be done. My mental health is fragile at the best of times, and while I am okay and safe, it has been a difficult few months for me. I am also a full-time college student with a job, so all of my free hours were spent in grief. It's taken me a while to feel alright enough to come back, but here I am. I'm still passionate about queer representation in media, and I want to continue to share queer characters with the tumblr community. Starting tomorrow, I will resume the 8 times a day posting schedule that I was starting to utilize before my disappearance, as queueing posts makes my life much easier. I'm sorry if I don't respond to notes or asks left during my break. It's a lot to sort through and I value community engagement on this blog more than anything but I am just one person and I can only do so much. Feel free to re-send asks! Going forward, I'll be making a few changes. I am working on a publicly available google sheet of all characters that have been posted on this blog with results that I will link in a visible place so that people wanting to submit a character can (hopefully) quickly search to make sure that character hasn't been posted yet. I also will eventually be looking for another mod, although that will not be until the summer and I will make more posts when the time comes. I will personally be awol for the last few weeks of may and the first few weeks of june due to a job opportunity out of the country, but I am intending to have queued posts continuing to upload at the regular schedule during that time. Unfortunately this means I won't be able to edit mistakes or answer questions, but hopefully any issues can be addressed when I return. Thank you all for your patience, I'm sorry that this radio silence has gone on for so long, but I've thought about this blog a lot during my absence and I'm certain that it's not a project I'm giving up on any time soon.

So I've gathered that the Blaseball fandom is particularly good at organizing this kinda stuff. That and my first attempt to get rid of Jaylen (which btw the idea was that people would be too lazy to explain Blaseball and just vote batman) only served to spread this blog throughout said fandom more then any other other fandom featured on this blog.

These unfortunate set of circumstances have created a very difficult to defeat foe. I will need to think long and hard about if there is anything I can even do, or if I just have to wait for Jaylen to win fair and square.

The game is on Blaseball fandom. If I have anything to say about it you will not win this bracket.

Hey, I recommend that you take the Miku body pillow vs Makima body pillow post down, because Miku was designed as a 16 year old so it's just really weird!

new nightmare blunt rotation

i didnt even know this guy before the poll but I would like to thank claude fire emblem for making it this far in the round. because of him making so far I remembered his design so much I almost won a round of a round of Guess that Game just because I saw a chibi of him and said "that's that guy from fire emblem on the most datable poll" and got the point for knowing it was fire emblem honestly tho this poll has been very fun to participate in, some of my favs have lost but I was also introduced to new games and favs through this poll

Oh that's so funny, congrats on your almost win!

I personally didn't know most of the contestants but now I know all their names and game by heart so the brainrot is not only limited to you all lol

And as we say in french: Une de perdue, dix de retrouvées! (One lost, Ten found!)

Poll analysis part 4

I normally don't do these so soon, but since I started doing the duo and the trio polls that really brought out some interesting trends

Naruto, I know I've called you guy my problem child fandom just because of how you engage with me. But you guys can't seem to catch a break unless it's Kakashi or Madara. You think one of the most popular animes of all time would at least be able to win something. But no. You're coming in dead last in the Battle Royals. Even just the regular polls with your characters have extremely low engagement. With the only exception being Kakashi or Madara. I have my theories on why this might be happening but I want to observe some more because there are so many more Naruto Polls in the queue before I put anything in writing publicly

Sailor Moon oh boy, did you guys come out to support your lesbians. I was not expecting so much support for those characters, I think I threw them in as a last minute I need an all girl Duo and you guys turned out. I'm curious to see if this continues with all the Sailor Moon characters

Samurai Champloo these characters get mentioned so many times in the comments. Like where are these characters why aren't they in the swordsmen or trio Battle Royale and no one shows up to support them. Why is this? I know Samurai Champloo is iconic but you all are pulling an Attack on Titan. I think the fandom is comatose and the characters only get mentioned out of respect for its iconic status

JoJo's apparently has characters that are trying to give Senshi a run for his money when it comes to panty shots or booty shots. Those polls have been funny. I'll give you that. And it somehow feels appropriate for the JoJo's fandom to do everything for the meme and submit those polls with those specific photos

Berserk you guys only show up to support Griffith and Casca. There is very little love for Guts that might be due to his opponents most the time, but I think that is somehow thematically appropriate

Fullmetal Alchemist I thought you guys only showed up for general Armstrong when I paired up Hawkeye and Mustang as a Duo. You all show up in droves to show your support.

Castlevania You guys show up pretty consistently no matter the character, it's been entertaining because you all can put some interesting things in the tags

One Piece is trying to submit the most obscure characters in that show and then put the most ridiculous tags on it so I have to add them to that already ridiculously long post. At least that's what it feels like because it feels very deliberate.

Cowboy Bebop you exist and your characters are hot. They're even hotter together. That's all I can really say

Bleach You exist. Your characters are mostly hot and Yoruichi is top tier waifu that sweeps in basically every poll she's in

Well that's all for this update There again will be another one. Don't know when but there will be one

as someone who has done a bug-type monorun in Black recently i am so proud to slap 'yes all' on every bug that will be appearing over the next few weeks

Ooo, that’s awesome! Gen 5 has some pretty awesome bugs, so I imagine that run went well ^^

Joltik is the next bug, which is gonna be posted May 8th! Followed by Durant on the 17th, and Larvesta on the 18th ^^

The current Broadway revival of The Wiz releases a cast album on July 12th.

Spreadsheet of Posted Characters

I updated my pinned post to include this, but I'm making a separate post as well - this is the complete spreadsheet of posted characters! I will update this as polls complete. If a character is listed on here, please do not submit them again, but feel free to submit characters from the same source that are not listed! This spreadsheet is sorted by source for my own personal ease of use.

I am curious

Do people really like Marshadow because he's cool or because he killed Ash??

I always thought he was spooky but he's swept and I didn't expect that!

Huh...not sure honestly 😅

*from what I remember yeah! In the "I Choose You" movie...I think maybe it was a pokémon being controlled by them but yes, Ash dies again and it's uh...yeah it's a pretty rough death scene 😅

every time one of your polls shows up on my dash i'm not kidding i spend ten minutes working out which item would be more smart for me to get and what would be more useful to me and i vote for the one i decided would be the most useful and immediately regret it

☠️☠️☠️

Hey, since you asked that question about homestuck meet ups, do you know how we can find out about meet ups or do you have any to advertise? I'd love to go to one on the east coast

I don't! I think there used to be a server that had that sort of thing, and maybe the Homestuck Discord Server does? Seems like a thing they'd do.

The one time I went to a convention I saw people on Twitter hosting a Homestuck meetup (that I ended up not being able to go to unfortunately) and I assume that's fairly common?

If anyone knows of any resources please share!

honestly i've been considering doing one themed around my podcast but that's entirely self-indulgent and would probably end up only consisting of my cohosts lkasdlsfd

Claude waited for you to come back for five years, not even having proof that you are alive, only having faith. You can defnitely wait for Claude for a few months after he promised to do so. Call me crazy but it’s unrealistic and out of character if Claude just throws away his life long ambitions for romance. He’s trying to balance both, be real now. He’s a man of his career and his love.

Guess the man doesn't prioritize bitches smh

did you intentionally put jizzie and boat boys on opposite sides of the bracket so they could hypothetically both be semifinalists or was that an accident/luck

... you caught me red handed man 😭

I just want to take a moment to say thank you to all of you that leave kind messages in your game requests.

I don't always reply but I want you all to know that I see them and I really appreciate them :)
