Season six y’all
i am finally here...
"Behold the Underminer! I am always beneath you, but nothing is beneath me!"
For years I have watched from the shadows. Always watching, never partaking. Years of only reading curated posts, so popular they reach Instagram, then YouTube, then people make a living reading from your community and sharing with the masses. I will be idle no longer. Today I become one of you!

Ive has some downtime at work and wandered from some Smithsonian articles over on to the YIVO site and am now going through the digital museum Beba Epstein exhibit and it mentions that The Great Synagogue of Vilna could accommodate 3,000 congregants and intellectually I knew that there used to be more than 10million Jews in Europe but that really brought it home that I've never even contemplated a shul that could hold 1,000 people (I know a handful exist but as far as I can tell they are in the minority) most I've visited could hold maybe a couple hundred at most or a couple dozen minimum. And yeah Vilna was a city with a large and established Jewish population but I know there were similarly sized congregations in other big cities in Europe too. And I doubt that that was the only congregation that existed either. And it sort of sucker punched me.

Like stated before, this poll represents which character will get a moodboard in pride month. I will always have a group of 5 characters, canon or headcanon, and an other. Comments count as votes as well (one per person, to account for the other category).
Who should get the moodboard?
Monika (DDLC)
Borg Queen (Star Trek)
Yivo (Futurama)
Warden (Superjail)
Venom (Marvel)
