I want to vote for Yuri!!! On Ice for more things but there weren’t enough nominations in the other categories, and Star was the better show I’M SORRY YURI MY CHILD I FAILED YOU
I’m sorry, I’m trash.
lol yeah lots of love for Star in your picks. I think it was impressive YOI got the 2 nominations it did considering it’s a currently airing show with not a ton of visibility among our community yet. It’s definitely seeing a lot of love from the voters.
This is frustrating, because I want to nominate more “Star vs …” but “Steven Universe” keeps winning out, so Star only get’s a token win at the end.
