A friend and I are going to be these lil guys. Costume's are almost done, they are silly as hell.

The last costume I did years ago was somewhat-sexy bowser and it ruled. I somehow came across a plastic Ninja Turtles shell with straps that probably came from a costume at a thrift store. I spray painted it and made the spikes and everything, I still have that thing because it came out so good

I never RLY understood all the decadent western commercialism on display on Americanised "holidays" and never really got into it

[-] ratboy@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago

Yeah makes sense, the commercialism is pretty gross. I've noticed over time that it seems stores have slowly started putting out their holiday decorations earlier and earlier. Like I started seeing Christmas decorations in stores a month ago. THERE IS NO NEED FOR THAT.

I think I really enjoy holidays because I had a fucked up childhood but Christmas and Halloween were always cool where my parents and family acted normal and gave me attention. So I get a lot of nostalgia and love decorations. Hearing Mariah Carey Christmas songs all December in every public space makes me want to commit horrific crimes, though
