I'm gonna need everyone to look at some of the awesome characters you can feasibly vote for on this popularity poll
Screenshot of The Woman Killed by Awano Screenshot of Father of a child asking for a toy Screenshot of Man with a profile picture Screenshots of an array of animals, and then a robot and woman at the very end. From left to right per row the names are Fierce tiger, Omelette, Nancy, Yama-oroshi, Clala, Charlote, Catherine, Koketaro, Mame, Pochitaro, Takuya, Miichan, Kappa, Yappy, and Kaede Tono. I don't know why the animals and robot take priority over Kaede tono.

Me? Self indulgent for the month of October?? Never...
My characters Clayton and Holt as slasher type guys. Clayton is wearing a hockey mask and an ill-fitting apron holding Holt (who is currently a werewolf) by a very short leash and muzzle.

Watching Grimm with some friends and I noticed there were a ton of lamps in this one scene and ever since we keep seeing there's like a million different lamps in every single set like why is there like 7 lamps in this one shot
Screenshot of the show Grimm. There's 6 lamps turned on in the fore ground and there's another lamp that's turned off next to the one woman in frame.
