Thanks so much! I had such trouble with that because there are just too many great characters on that show.

These are gorgeous. I especially love the composition of 5.

Thanks so much! It took me forever to settle on that one and I was still unsure about it. It's really, really reassuring to see your kind words :)

But it's even more reassuring to see Wallace. That's from Episode 6, right?

But man, I still feel you on it being so, so ridiculously sad. Making Poot one of the shooters, the build-up at the restaurant (was it Wendy's?) and that scene where the detectives went to Poot's mom's house and all she could say was that Wallace owed her money made it so much more horrible. All he did was be human and react with basic empathy to what happened to Brandon. I feel like if there's anything in art that's proof that life's not fair, it's Wallace. Is he your favorite character?
