It's time to start nominations for October's Avatar Theme of the Month! Post below if you have an idea for what it should be. The winning theme will be adopted by people into their avatars for the month. Nominations will last until Sunday, October 1, and then voting will start and occur in a poll in this thread.

I'll nominate the Dark Universe Cinematic Universe since this month is Halloween and the DUCU is apparently actually going to be a thing.

Current Nominations
Dark Universe Cinematic Universe
Hugh Hefner
Religious and/or Philosophical Imagery
Nightmare Before Christmas/Hocus Pocus
The Skeleton War
Pumpkin Spice Lattes

I nominate Hugh Hefner.

I nominate religious and/or philosophical imagery.

Clearly the theme needs to be Nightmare Before Christmas/Hocus Pocus themed, because both are excellent movies with excellent characters.

it will be october children
surprise gift: you're all getting drafted for the skeleton war
get your butts to the front fucking lines

also on the subject of hugh hefner: the greatest tribute to the man i can make is that of all days, he died on hump day
what a fucking legend; i can only hope to die in such a profoundly appropriate manner

Okay, something that is kinda October themed, but can't possibly accidentally win again, I nominate
Pumpkin Spice Lattes

Voting is now open and will last for 3 days until 10:45pm ET on Wednesday, October 4. Everyone gets 2 votes.

Nothing can beat a skeleton army fighting with pumpkin spice lattes in their hand.

Although admittedly I would have loved to see the Sanderson sisters and discovering pumpkin spice lattes (my sig would have been the gif of them seeing something and screaming/running away, and they would have seen the pumpkin spice latte).

Looks like we have a tie between the Skeleton War and Pumpkin Spice Lattes! Try to incorporate either or both into your avatars for the month.

What. How. Why.

THIS IS HOW
C'MON LET'S SPOOK THOSE FUCKBOYS AND THEN GET SOME PUMPKIN SPICE

doot doot

That was...surprisingly easier to find than I thought it would be.

This has put me in the mood for nominating The Emu War Propaganda for next month.

I do not understand... I don't like not understanding things... Zoidberg was a joke option and tied with Game of Thrones anyway, and ended up working, then Tupperware was a joke suggestion, but also ended up working out, so I lazily thought of Pumpkin Spice Lattes because I had read some ridiculous article on Facebook complaining about Millennials with some weird thing about lattes right before posting that, expecting it couldn't possibly win, and then it did anyway and somehow this is working out too. Something working that I didn't expect to is confusing me as much as when I expect something to work and it doesn't. Why are there so many good images to choose from that already exist for this combination. Can't process. It's great that the result is working, especially Pengu really made it work well, but it's so confusing because it seems like it shouldn't.
