ROUND 1 — Match 79 of 286
Lilith (Monster Musume)
Identity: WLW, implied
Notes: Implied to have feelings for Rachnera (a woman).
Propaganda: N/A
vs. Quentin Coldwater (The Magicians)
Identity: Bisexual, explicit
Notes: Previously romantically involved with Alice (a woman) and later with Eliot (a man), and has sexual encounters with people of multiple genders throughout the show.
Propaganda: 1. “He feels like a person who’s been waiting for his real life to start and is quietly devastated that it already did and it still sucks. He clings to Fillory because it’s a place where the rules make sense and the pain is supposed to have meaning, and then magic turns out to be real and it still doesn’t fix him. It doesn’t make him less depressed. It doesn’t make him less awkward. It just gives him bigger problems and sharper ways to hurt. He’s messy in ways people don’t always have patience for. He gets jealous. He gets self-pitying. He makes choices that are about wanting to be chosen, wanting to be special, wanting someone to look at him and say “you matter.” And when he doesn’t get that, he spirals. But he also loves hard. He shows up for people. He tries again after he embarrasses himself. He’s capable of being brave even when he’s terrified, and he’s capable of being kind even when he’s miserable. His sexuality is just treated as part of who he is while he’s falling in love and screwing up and trying to be better. Quentin is a lot, but he’s a lot in a way that feels painfully familiar, and that’s why people get attached.”
2. “for all his many, many issues, he is such a painfully human queer protagonist. he’s awkward, self-absorbed, depressed, loving, frustrating, and always reaching for something bigger than himself even when he keeps fumbling it. he doesn’t feel polished or idealised - he feels real, and that’s what makes him hit so hard for people. also his queerness isn’t just some background detail. it’s tied into so much of his life, his love, his confusion, his grief, and the way he understands himself. quentin gets to be messy and complicated and deeply emotional, and that makes him way more memorable than characters who are just there to tick a box. he’s a disaster, but he’s our disaster.”

Round 2, Match 40 — The Soldier/Jane Doe (Team Fortress 2) vs. The Sniper/Mun-dee Mundy (Team Fortress 2)
Soldier propaganda:
simple design yet so iconic at the same time
Sniper propaganda:
Visceral fearwhen you see him looking up and spinning. Other than thinking he looks funny/fun to look at at the blockiness?? Shapey style he has going on?? Like the other characters?? Is very intriguing
Sniper is a lanky, rectangular figure. He gives off a chill and focused vibe, the ideal mindset of a professional. His head is more narrow, adding to his sophisticated aura. His choice of clothing also refines this, while still showing off his wilderness-hardened side, especially with his hat, shades, and vest. To top it all off, he even has a Garand’s Thumb— he is truly a professional!

ROUND 1 — Match 78 of 286
Lucio (The Arcana)
Identity: Bisexual, explicit
Notes: Previously married to Nadia (a woman) and sexually involved with Valerius (a man), and can enter a relationship with the protagonist regardless of gender. Explicitly referred to as bisexual by the developers.
Propaganda: 1. “Lucio is fun because he’s a disaster on purpose. He’s selfish, dramatic, insecure, and constantly trying to talk his way out of consequences he very much caused. And the game doesn’t really pretend he’s secretly a saint - it lets him be petty and annoying and then makes him deal with the fact that people don’t automatically forgive him. If you like characters who are entertaining because they’re messy, he’s top tier. Also, his route is one of the only ones where I’m regularly going “are you serious right now” while still clicking next.”
2. “lucio propaganda: loud. needy. attention-seeking. spends money like it’s a hobby. thinks he’s charming (sometimes he is). says “i can explain” when he absolutely cannot. route is genuinely funny. vote for the terrible goat man.”
3. “What I like about Lucio as a character is that his worst traits are consistent. He doesn’t become a different person just because he’s a romance option - he’s still vain, impulsive, and allergic to accountability. So when he does improve (even a little), it actually feels like progress instead of a rewrite. And if you’re someone who enjoys a redemption arc that still has friction - arguments, pushback, consequences - he’s a solid pick because the story doesn’t let him off easy just because he’s charismatic.”
vs. Nora Holleran (Red, White & Royal Blue)
Identity: Bisexual, explicit
Notes: Directly referred to as bisexual in the book by Alex.
Propaganda: N/A
