The Halloween poll. Not all of you are familiar with Scooby-Doo, but of the ones who are…let’s just say you made me feel retroactively vindicated in an argument I had several years ago.

Hellsing went to the top of that poll pretty quickly (it’s still tied for #1 if you include the And Shine Heaven Now votes) — and, well, that’s basically just the Vampire Hunter Thorn AU.
So I decided to get a feel for what else readers want to see in that continuity.
Who should make their debut in the Vampire Hunter Thorn AU? (Leif, Thorn, Stanczia, and Imri are already there)

The discrepancy between the numbers for “a gyro is a sandwich” and “a burrito is a sandwich” tells you…something about double standards. And the discrepancy between “an open-face sandwich is a sandwich” and “avocado toast is a sandwich” tells you that “what counts as an open-face sandwich?” is an unanswered question in its own right.

I also note the sandwich discrepancy between gyro and taco. (I think I voted yes for gyro, no for taco, myself).
I’m the one who originally wrote in “and shine heaven now”. I also wrote in RWBY and My Little Pony and Kill 6 billion demons and GirlGenius and superhero comics… I have a trick with my laptop and my cellphone which lets me do multiple write ins >.>
And I wrote in “Elf” for the houses because of a joke omake in which Harry gets sorted into “House Elf” and has to work in the kitchens.
And I’m the one living in the Magical Kingdom XD
I was sad that Ophiuchus wasn’t a zodiac option.
On the occupation quiz, I couldn’t answer it accurately because I’m working for a company, taking college classes, self employed, and an unpaid parent… next time, make it multiple choice!
I’m personally surprised by the people who think that an ice cream sandwich is a sandwich but an Oreo isn’t. Is it just that an Oreo is too small? Because they’re otherwise almost the same thing…
I’m a little disappointed that RWBY lost out to Hellsing. Would have been neat to see the cast’s Semblances.
I was hoping for their multiform/its-also-a-gun weapons
