Here are the winners for week 118: Least Favorite Character!

( Yeah...I kind of really don't like this person )

Don't forget to submit to this week's YOU'RE NOT ALONE! ZERO submissions thus far but its still to early to worry about that!

silver_ronin, can you make banners for this week? I think we need a catch-up post soon. XD;;

Remember these profile layouts? (of course you remember them! they are great! :P) Somebody said that I should make layouts with the same patterns. And I'm a nice girl, so I made them.
Really simple layouts, I hope you like them:

( CSS + the other color palettes :D )

We need a tie-breaker for week 118's least favorite character for FIRST PLACE and BEST COLOR!

Please vote for only ONE ICON in each category:

FOR FIRST PLACE:
01. 02.

FOR BEST COLOR:
03. 04.



Voting will end as soon as the tie breaks!

I just noticed that I left the cut text as how it was as default. Wow. That was... clever of me. D: Uh, anyways, Great amount of voters. Every icon got at least one vote.

( Congratulations! )

Here are the results! Those extra votes were extremely helpful! Thank you to everyone who submitted, voted, or both. ^__^

( Winners! )

Congratulations!

hwighting will be doing banners this week unless otherwise stated. All winners from First to Mod’s Choice can receive a banner, so if you won and would like a banner leave a comment saying so.

caps lock aside, just a little note to say that it might take a while for me to come back to regular posting. I'm enjoying summer vacation (aka, doing nothing all day) and although I have a new post coming soon(?) I won't be updating much after that since I'll be out of town for a couple of weeks.

anyway, I hope you're having a great summertime! :D  ♥
