its gonna be a close one, boys
Hey, it's a submission for @itachi-uchiha-week! :D
Also, killing two birds with one stone here because I once made a poll (I cannot find it anymore) asking something along the lines of "which character should I make a Caramel Dansen GIF of" and I remember Itachi winning that thing. Couldn't think of anything for the first prompt of Itachi Week (oops) so I decided to squeeze this one in here instead.
WHO IS IN THE LEAD, BITCHESZZZZZZ
As @staff further refine the polls while they're rolling them out (still haven't gotten mine sadly), here's a suggestion of mine: Polls with a ten year time limit.
As of right now, it's impossible for polls to turn into long-running legendary posts. You can try, sure (see the bug race), but it's a week and then it's locked, fixed, done, and all that's left is for people to reminisce about that time there was a poll.
On the other hand, if a ten year poll gets popular, it can become part of Tumblr lore while still being updated. People can write passionate appeals for their vote and fight in the notes. Others can make graphs to show how the poll's majorities shift with each different US president or Taylor Swift album. People can make memes about "remember 2025, when option 3 was in the lead? That was a crazy time".
Why ten years, though, instead of a hundred or just no time limit? Because that way, the end becomes an event. People who voted in the poll when it was just a few hours old can watch the final countdown together, and there's a new point in Tumblr history: That day when we finally all agreed on the best option, and presumably also some important political stuff happened.
Now, granted, most ten year polls would never reach this level of notoriety. But it only takes a few polls like this to be worthwhile. Maybe this shouldn't be an option for users to select, but something the Tumblr website grants/pushes on you at random?
So, yeah. Ten year polls. They should be a thing.

Look how many people hate him. I’m pretty damn happy about that 😁😁😁😁😁😁
“I spent years building up respect as Nightwing and now they’re looking at me like I’m one more psycho Batman impersonator. The whole idea of replacing Bruce was insane. And i hate the cape Alfred—the cape was the first thing I ditched when I got out on my own. I’m way off balance.”
“As I see it, your parents were show business people master Richard. Those are your roots. Try to think of your Batman not as a memorial—you and I know he’d hate that—but as a performance…and play it to your strengths.”
“Don’t ever let me forget the golden rule Alfie. The show must go on.”
After Damian storms off to find a teacher he respects because dick scolded him for going too far in a fight, dick vents his frustrations to Alfred. Damian is gone. No one believes he’s Batman. And all the years he’s put into getting respect as Nightwing were for nothing. Hes not Batman and trying to be was insane. Alfred tells him to stop trying to be Batman and to make a performance of it instead. His parents were in show business after all.
