Changed w/o discussion: Perky Goth

I've noticed that it's been changed around multiple times, and there's no commented-out text linking to any discussion in the source code. From what I've gathered, the image has been changed from [1]◊ to [2]◊ to [3]◊ to the current. I'm fine with the current. o3o Anyone else have thoughts to weigh in?

I think the current is best. She looks adorable.

I like the current as well. Or of the other ones, the first.

I'm okay with the current now that it's up, but whose idea was it to remove Death of the Endless?!

Yeah, current's good.

Current is good. Image #2 linked in the OP wasn't, though the others were acceptable, because it doesn't look like a goth — the little black just seems to be art style.

The original was good, but Abby (the current) seems to pull it off way better.

As much as I liked Death, Abby is probably the better choice.

Keep current. That said, I do not notice much in terms of a difference between the tropes, except maybe for 2 not looking right.

Death's characterization in the comics is just about the perfect example for the trope, but Abby shows it better. Of the ones that have been cycled through, to me, the first doesn't look particularly perky, and the second doesn't look particularly goth-y (unless you know the work) and my vote is to keep Abby.

Just a minor question:

Who the hell is Abby?

Current image girl.

Or to elaborate further, Abby Sciuto is a Perky Goth, Lab Rat and all around Bunny-Ears Lawyer on NCIS.

I dislike Abby, but I must admit she demonstrates this quite well. She has my (begrudging) support.

Death. [1]◊

My phone keeps refreshing my post in between copy-pasting links... grr. Here's a gallery.

I could swear there was an NCIS opening clip that used this scene of her with her black umbrella and smiling wide. That would be even better, IMO, if it were possible to get a good still.

This◊ is as close as I've been able to find.

The right half of this◊ isn't bad, either.

The first looks like she's trying to be Gothic Lolita but the second would be good except I'd rather less shadow on her face.

There has to be a good screencap of Abby in the episode with Kate's funeral... I don't have that one available, though.

If we're looking for Abby pics, what about this one?

P.S.: After looking at the video for the scene, I doubt there is a clear shot of a cheerful Abby with her parasol at Kate's wedding. She only starts smiling towards the end when she starts playing the jazz music and from that point on, there isn't a close-up of the character.

Bump...one or two more votes to keep the current and we can shut this down.

Well then, count this as another vote to keep the current.

Death of the Endless. Because as long as the thread is still open we might as well consider it.

• Death inna Hat◊ 2◊
• Death witha Brolly◊ 2◊
• Death witha Yorick◊
• Snow Means Death◊
• Tea and Death◊
• Death IN SPACE◊

I'm sure I prefer Death with an hat, a brolly, or a Yorick, over the current.

Either Deaths with the Umbrella I'd say are better than current. Second one's probably my favorite. The dialog adds to it but doesn't carry it.

23.3◊ looks nice, so it's got my tentative support. At the moment, though, I still favor the current pic.
