I created the number thirty-seven
Aaaand STOP! Nominations for the second round of G.H.O.S.T and first go-round of S.A.S.S are over! Thank you to everyone who decided to participate in my truly, stupendously wonderful idea! Now, let's see YOUR hand-picked contestants, Hogwarts!!
AMELIA KIRKLAND
Amelia's nominator writes: "Amelia has two very big things going for her"
I'LL SAY! With assets like those - oh there's more.
": her bright personality and pretty eyes."
Oh.
GEORGIA NICHOLSON
DOUBLE NOMINEE!!
Georgia's first nominator writes: "How can someone even have such an amazing rack and not appreciate it? She thinks she's got a big nose-- I say, no one's looking at your nose, babe."
And her second has this to say: "Well, she's totally unique, and funny, and charming, and her breasts are absolutely enormous, like melons or quaffles."
... is it wise to compare the breasts of someone on a Quidditch team to quaffles? That might give people ideas. In any case, it seems like these nominators are on the same wavelength!
RARITY
DOUBLE NOMINEE!!
Rarity's first nominator writes: "Look at her. This bitch is flawless."
And her second has this to say: "I'm certain she would tell you why herself - and by nominating her, surely I'm simply reinforcing her convictions. With the most eye-catching luscious locks in the 5th year, she's almost a shoo-in for the title! It's often said that the trick to appeal is in all in the deception of self-confidence, and in her case it's almost undisputedly true. Her alluringly assertive poising is so sexy that she hardly needs the verification - I do hope this won't make her ego explode."
I hope Rarity's ego doesn't explode from this clearly well-deserved two-fold nomination, either. Mostly because her ego shrapnel would get all over Ravenclaw Tower. That's where I keep my stuff!
Poll
NAVEEN PRUTO
Naveen's nominator writes: "Are you kidding? He's perfection. All he's gotta do is open his mouth and every girl in a ten metre radius is gonna cream her panties."
... wait, is that still true if he's at home with his mothe- OH NO MENTAL IMAGE NOOOO.
NOAH PUCKERMAN
Puck's nominator writes: "Have you seen his abs? (I mean, who hasn't?) Case closed."
If you hadn't before, there you go! Nobody can claim ignorance now, at least.
GRAHAM SPECTER
Graham's nominator writes: "He could pound me any day."
I don't really know who this is, but his nominator certainly doesn't beat around the bush. Unlike this guy, apparently. Yeesh.
Poll
Why, what's this celebration of all things sausage doing here in the middle of G.H.O.S.T?? Oh, it's just the teacher category. Hope you like looking at guys, because that is what you're about to get!
PROFESSOR SADIK ADNAN
Professor Adnan's nominator writes: "Eh? Well, I don't know, I still don't like him terribly much, but he was nice and he helped me so I guess this is a nice thing to do, right? I don't think I understand this contest very well, why is this a contest again?"
This is a contest that covers everything that separates civilized humankind from the animal kingdom! Anybody who can't see that doesn't understand how important things like love, friendship, beauty, grace, and breasts are to mankind!
PROFESSOR FRANCIS BONNEFOY
Professor Bonnefoy's nominator writes: "Eh? Well Francis always says he is "very very sexy" so I figured I should put him up here just in case he doesn't! He's forgetful sometimes, you know, and I know he'd be angry if he didn't see his name attached to something like this, and I really wouldn't like to listen to him whining for days on end about how no one saw how "sexy" or "pretty" he was, so really this is just something to do! Plus, he is my friend, and friends do things like this for friends! Right? I think so. At least I think so?"
Now THAT'S more like it! Everyone, THIS is true friendship! I'm so moved!! To be fair, though, I think it would've been much, much harder to find a picture of Professor Bonnefoy with his shirt closed. Such a thing may not even exist.
PROFESSOR IVAN IVANOVICH BRAGINSKI
Professor Braginski's nominator writes: "Brother He is very handsome, kind, and a superb wizard. This game is stupid, but if brother does not win-"
I... can't make out some of that, nominator! And I'm squinting at it so hard that it's kind of giving me a headache! Oh well, at least the core of your message comes through loud and clear!
PROFESSOR ANTONIO FERNÁNDEZ
RETURNING NOMINEE!!
Professor Fernandez's nominator writes: "Oi, are you blind? You gotta be if want me to explain why this guy is sexy."
You're right, nominator. Sometimes a picture taken in surprise says a thousand words.
Poll
Now it's time for the new addition to this contest, the completely gender neutral School's Adorable Scamp Survey! Everyone, I hope all the sexiness is out of your system. If it's not, take a little break! Because now the name of the game is cuteness!
JADE HARLEY
DOUBLE NOMINEE!!
Jade's first nominator writes: "She really has quite a lot of energy and kindness. I always see her trying to help out her fellow students."
And her second has this to say: "I can hardly believe my own persistence but I feel compelled to make another nomination. It pains my heart to single out this perfectly charming little witch (especially by putting upon her the burden of being placed in such a distasteful competition) but Jade Harley is on many levels the "adorabliest" in the third year. How should I list the ways - First, her penchant for falling asleep at the most inopportune of times. Second, her big bright eyes, magnified in her glasses, are the greenest of striking green. Third, her long dark hair, cut in fashionably uneven layers, framing her round and youthful cheeks. Last, but not least, her talents and interests verge on both the eccentric and dangerous - giving her just that hint of hardassery to compliment her most cuddly of feminine charms."
Second nominator, I think you like this "distasteful" competition (and remember, this is the totally tasteful portion! Not that the other side isn't very, very tasty as well) more than you let on! But in any case, Jade's nominators seem to like her energetic and pixie-ish qualities!
FINN MANN
Finn's nominator writes: "He's gonna be a little heartbreaker someday, and you know it."
Another little squirt I don't really know! Am I letting my networking skills slip in my final year??
KANAYA MARYAM
Kanaya's nominator writes: "Despite my reluctance to engage with your ridiculous antics and the hypocrisy of my doing so, I put forward the gorgeous and delightfully twee Kanaya Maryam. Perhaps she isn't the most conventional choice, but considering her ineligibility for the sexy category I opted to push for a creative re-branding of her particular brand of class and appeal - consider her the perfect bridge between the two divisions. What else could you call a stubborn affection for the precise art of haberdashery and dressmaking, bright colours, bonny ribbons, and heartfelt aesthetics, other than tooth-achingly adorable and oddly compelling simultaneously. Consider her, my friends, and be heartened."
Bridging the gap between the tournaments, huh? Kanaya, sounds like you've got an early advantage when you're eligible for G.H.O.S.T next year! Which, given that I'm graduating, will not happen unless some brave, bold soul takes up my heavy but magnificent crown.
TAVROS NITRAM
Tavros's nominator writes: "He's really a very sweet boy, and very earnest. Even if he's a bit shy, he tries his best."
I know sweetness can go a long way in adorability, so let's see how far Tavros's big heart will get him!
TEREZI PYROPE
Terezi's nominator writes: "Come now, if anyone is the definition of creepy-cute, Terezi Pyrope would be it. With her devilish wiles and her captivatingly disconcerting habit of licking everything in sight, perhaps one could equate her to a particularly scrappy if not downright dangerous but incredibly fluffy and wonderfully keen puppy dog. I am certain to be lambasted for this description when she sniffs out my identity (I have no unrealistic expectations of anonymity), but I will blame all of this on you in the end, Yong Soo. Believe me."
I heartily accept ALL of the fondness for me that you're hiding under those pretenses, nominator. It's okay. Embrace those feelings. They're natural and to be expected, given who I am. But hopefully creepy-cute Terezi won't lick this entry, given that there are things a girl her age just should not taste.
Poll
And there you have it, everyone! Voting will be up for about a week before I'll announce the results! Once again, good luck, contestants, and thank you, nominators!
[ooc: This was in the nomination, so I feel like I should put it here too. For the Jade picture, lineart credit goes to smiletokamera.
edit: I also just now realized that I goofed and forgot to set the teacher and scamp polls to non-details-viewable. And I needed to go to bed, like, 30 minutes ago. So uh. Honor system? Honor system. Characters can't see who votes for whom.]
