NAVIGATION:
matches: poll posts without additional comments or reblogs
yuri propaganda: any posts regarding contestants (series tags are HERE -> [S1-3; S4-?] if you want to browse)
results: winner announcements for any completed match
knockouts: for shoutouts to the losing contestants & certain rejected submissions (knockout masterpost can be found here)
yuriposting: for any general reblogs about yuri as a concept
other polls: what it says on the tin!
asks / non yuri talk is tagged "stfu elly" for blacklisting purposes
if you don't want to see reblogs of poll posts, those are tagged "match boost"
aaaaand negative propaganda is tagged "anti propaganda" if you only want to see the pros and not the cons.
If I miss any CWs or you want to dispute the ones I've listed, please let me know; I try to be thorough, but my memory is a sieve and I'm not always exact.
Submissions are still open while the poll is running! Rather than any submission being unsuccessful, it just gets added to the spreadsheet for next time :)
Guidelines, submission form & additional info under the cut.
SUBMISSION YAYS:
Not limited to just manga; as long as we're talking GL (or, at the very least, comics about lesbians), manhua, webcomics & other non-japanese comics are fine!
Oneshots, anthologies & ongoing works are all equally A-OK.
While I ask that you don't submit straight up hentai, any amount of sexual content in a work is alright (just give a heads up 👍).
Titles that explore or touch on dark subject matter are fine (encouraged. even.), again just give a heads up.
SUBMISSIONS NAYS:
Stuff that's super short, I find, doesn't make for very fun competition, so while you're free to submit them and they'll still get a shout out, they won't be included in future polls. Not a strict rule, but let's say ten pages minimum.
Submit as many titles as you like, but number of submissions has little to no impact on acceptance, so no need to spam the same one.
Anything romanticising or sexualising incest/rape/grooming/etc will not be accepted; its a blurry line between that and having dark themes, of course, so acceptance and rejection are up to my discretion.
SUBMISSION FORM IS HERE: LINK
PROPAGANDA:
I take screencaps & go through series tags for the bulk of propaganda, but submitted propaganda is also readily accepted. All that stuff gets queued, but I share submissions right away.
Tag me in a post, send things via DM, or jump in the ask or submission box - any is fine! If it's been a minute and I haven't shared it, I probably haven't seen it; in that case just let me know directly.
CONTENT WARNINGS:
Polls give a general heads up of any notable warnings for the series in the post, but once they're out of the tournament, they get a more detailed recommendation post that's more specific and comprehensive.
That being said, some of these I didn't read a lot of, haven't read in awhile, or are still ongoing, so be please be cautious!
SEEDING:
Seeding is based on MAL ranking or, if there's no MAL ranking available, it's assigned a random number between 1500 & 10,000 and placed into the challonge bracket based on that.
OFFICIAL TIE PROTOCOL:
TIE IN THE MAIN BRACKET -> Treated as a double loss, aka both go to the Losers' Bracket in a three way match. Of the two that tied, the highest scorer goes back to the main bracket. The lowest scorer of all three gets knocked out.
TIE IN THE LOSERS BRACKET -> Treated as a double win, aka both go to the next round of the Losers' Bracket in a three way match. The highest scorer moves forward, and the other two get knocked out.
WHAT ABOUT A TIE IN THE THREE-WAY MATCHES? -> I have chosen not to think about that <3
WHAT IF, LIKE, THERES A TIE IN THE LOSERS BRACKET AND MAIN BRACKET IN A WAY THAT WOULD RESULT IN A 4 WAY MATCH? -> I delete my blog.

It's incredibly sweet and an uncommon yuri manga in a genre that often focuses on young people. This is a manga about finding love, finding new interests and living life to the fullest. Because life doesn't stop when you finish school, become married or have another birthday with a zero. It keeps going.
The art is great! Schwinn has a Patreon called Schwinn's atelier.
I also want to share the love at first sight, and the start to falling in love with oneself again that is the start of Hans Monogatari. Seeing this striking woman in the shop, contrasted with her reflection in the shop window... It's sad and beautiful. And is then used to show how much she shines after meeting this woman and doing something for herself.
Yes, the beginning centers around clothing, make up and perfume, but it's always used as a way to display the characters personality. Not to confirm. Conforming would be to not let yourself have fun with clothes, doing something that makes you feel pretty, and just be in mourning until you die (or that's the opposition the manga portrays).
It's beautiful. Story and art. Beautiful and unique.

i love amy is a sweet story, about two mentally ill girls that find happyness in eachother against all odds. it handles mental illness with grace that i have rarely, if ever, seen before, and it has a main character with BPD and shes not demonized by the story ar all!! frankly it was the first time i had ever read something that had positive BPD representation, and it was handeled in a way that genuinely made me feel more confident in my own future. The characters are incredebly realistic, and any time they handle in a "wrong" way it makes perfect sense for them to do so, which makes it so much better. It even has some really fun side stories!!!
I can't repeat this enough (and my (yuri loving) friends know i do repeat it a lot) but I Love Amy is one of the best yuri ever written.

#^ this is what happens to you if you vote against i love amy. know this.
Oh no that would be so frightening! Just absolutely the worst if Bibi Reden came after me for voting against her in the yuripoll! She might tie me up in her basement with all the torture devices!

This is a tourney to celebrate and spread awareness of yuri visual novels and games.
For this tourney, please submit any visual novel or game that is focused on
queer relationships between women
the queer female experience
Please don't submit games that have yuri couples/overtones but aren't yuri-centric. Those games are great, but this tournament is focusing on games explicitly about girl/girl dynamics. If you aren't sure if your game counts, please send an ask!
Please submit your games and propaganda here. The first tourney will be run once we reach 32 submissions, but the submission form will be open indefinitely. I hope to run multiple tournaments and spread awareness of the many wonderful yuri visual novels and games that exist! If you are a creator, don't be shy to submit your own game.
There are no rules regarding content of games, but please submit content warnings in the section provided in the form if you think the game has content that warrants a warning.
Tagging a few people for exposure. Please reblog if you want to!
@nadianova, @ebi-hime, @hanakogames, @vnstudioelan (all the yuri game devs that I know of on tumblr; if I missed any I'd love to know!), @yuripoll, @himejoshidoll
Thank you, and I hope you look forward to the tourney!

Hi there! I'm the person who asked about the yuri visual novel tourney awhile ago. I made a blog for it! If you would be able to boost it, I would super appreciate it. Here's the link for the intro post:
Thank you for all that you do on this blog! I've learned about so many neat yuri series from this tourney.
Sora & Haena is about an anxious nerd offering to help a delinquent with her studies in exchange for romance advice. Still Sick follows an ex-mangaka finding out that her coworker draws yuri djs in her free time.
I have been slacking and haven't gotten around to grabbing images from Sora & Haena to provide a fresh round of propaganda. And I kinda feel like shit right now, so I'm not going to do all that work now. You can always look at previous propaganda I've posted for the series for images.
But the point is, vote for Sora & Haena. It's super cute, the characters are very interesting and fun to watch, the side stories are more adult and have more drama for those into that. But for me, the best part is just that it's fluff done well. Like, really well! It's fluffy and cute and happy but you still feel like there are things happening and the plot is moving forward. There's enough variety to keep it interesting.
It's not perfect, but it's pretty close for what it is. Vote Sora & Haena.
Destroy It All and Love Me in Hell (Tamotsu Kuwabara)
Futari Escape (Shouichi Taguchi)
Remaining time: 3 days 1 hour
Destroy It All [...] is about a high strung class president being convinced by a truant to stop holding back her frustrations. Futari Escape follows the daily life of a pair of roommates trying to avoid their adult responsibilities.
Because You Are A Red Rose is a oneshot about a woman obsessed with the colour red. Kiss & White Lily for My Dearest Girl follows a dedicated student falling for her rival, a natural genius who knocked her from her top spot.
Kase-san and... is about the blossoming romance between a track star and a girl in the gardening club. SHWD follows the ripped women working in an organisation that destroys monstrous bioweapons.
