I really like this idea

their like Helios (sun), Selene (moon), & Eos (dawn) coded

celestial siblings symbolism

if pearl is the moon and if grian is the sun then what is Jimmy

the earth? The dawn? Or something else …

thought they needed a little reminder that they still have far more to lose if they double down on this stupidity. spread the word, it seems they're... very forgetful about this.

Rules and FAQs

Welcome to the MCYT Sibling Showdown, where sets of siblings in the MCYT Multiverse go up against each other to determine the best sibling dynamic!

What qualifies as a set of siblings?

For the sake of the poll, sibling set nominees are divided into three categories:

Canonical: These characters are canonically siblings, biological, adopted, in-laws, or otherwise.

Canonical Honorary: These characters are canonically honorary siblings and have a sibling-like dynamic in canon.

Fanon: These characters do not have a canonical sibling dynamic, but are frequently portrayed as such in fan depictions.

Are there any limits to what dynamics I can nominate?

In-law dynamics are allowed ONLY if they are between a canonically established relationship within the source media, i.e. Fanon submissions of in-law dynamics are NOT allowed. This is to prevent bringing the entire MCYT Family Forest into the mix, for the sake of everyone's sanity.

Characters in the sibling dynamic can be main characters (played by active content creators) or NPCs (as defined in the @mcytnpcshowdown), or a combination of the two.

Real-life sibling content creators (e.g. Stampy Cat and NettyPlays) can qualify for this tournament ONLY IF their characters are also portrayed as siblings in collaborative media – a note will be added that the content creators are siblings in real life in such cases.

The number of sibling sets in the tournament will be determined by the number of individual submissions.

If you have any questions about whether a certain dynamic CAN be submitted, please ask! If there are any grey areas in the categorization, they will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Rules for the Showdown

As per MCYTblr tradition, voter fraud, bribery, and propaganda is allowed. Just DON'T BE TOXIC.

The mod will not be playing fair. Please tag this blog if you want everyone to see your propaganda.

The mod also has the final right to decide which nominations go in the poll, but they will only interfere with the nominations if they have to.

If a dynamic is nominated under the Canonical Honorary category, please submit at least one piece of evidence from the source material to prove they are Canonical Honorary siblings.

The number of nominations for each dynamic will only be revealed once nominations are closed. If you want to check if a certain dynamic has been nominated (yet), you may ask that.

If you have any further questions about the poll, please ask!

We are almost four weeks into this hell and people still don’t GET IT and it makes me want to pull my hair out, quite honestly. It’s so frustrating that people don’t care to understand why war with Hamas is a necessity because their antisemitism gets in the way. That they are so quick to believe Israel is out there, putting it’s soldiers on the line just to what? Kill more Palestinians? For sport? Like running to the mamad everyday several times a day is fun? Like Israelis are to blame for the fact that Hamas doesn’t care about it’s people enough to safeguard them? Let’s not even get started on the way Jews are being targeted in the diaspora. Way to prove, in your rabid antizionistic fervor, why Israel should and must exist. Jews are safe from persecution nowhere else. You don’t have to post this, I just needed to vent…

"It’s so frustrating that people don’t care to understand why war with Hamas is a necessity"

This, Nonnie. So much this.

TBH, it's not even a necessity, it's just a reality. Hamas has been firing rockets without pause at Israel since Oct 7.

That's an act of war.

It has breached Israel's territory.

That's an act of war.

It did both those things to carry out a massacre of over 1,400 people, while also kidnapping 242 people.

Those actions constitute not just acts of war, they're also war crimes, and crimes against humanity.

That's just reality, and ALL of it was chosen by Hamas. Despite the ceasefire that existed on Oct 6 between Hamas and Israel. Despite Israel providing Gaza with internet, cellular services, 500 daily trucks of aid, water, electricity, fuel and more. Despite tens of thousands of Palestinian workers allowed to enter Israel daily to make more money than they could in Gaza.

It's also a choice by Hamas not to surrender. If they did, if they stopped firing rockets at Israel and returned the hostages, if they agreed to disarm, the war would be over in that moment. Instead, Hamas has declared they're committed to more such massacres in the future ("Al-Aqsa flood" is what Hamas calls the massacre):

People who call for an immediate ceasefire are basically calling on Israel to surrender to Hamas, and sit and wait for the next massacre. It's supporting the intended genocide that Hamas would carry out if (when) it has the means to.

If Israel, a nation still in mourning, not even having had the ability to fully process the trauma of Oct 7, went to fight Hamas in Gaza despite the obvious understanding that even more Israelis, even more young people, would die, that says a lot about the lack of choice that Israelis feel in this matter.

I hope you're doing okay, Nonnie! Take care of yourself, and don't hesitate to update me. xoxox
