HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2024!!

Happy Halloween to everyone who’s celebrating! This is my costume- David Guzman with Puppet Ike. Ike was originally played by Brendon Stinson and Jon Hacker, but I decided to do David Guzman’s version because according to friends and family- I look the most like him.

The puppet is hand made, his head is made of aluminum foil and his body is made of foam. I got some pointers from my uncle/cousin (he's my second cousin but I call him my uncle) Ben. I decided to not attempt a mouth for him because this is my very first puppet and from what I know Ike doesn't have any speaking lines (other than singing and a broom solo). I had fun making him!! Besides his hair. I sewed each strand in with an embroidery stitch called the Turkey Rug Stitch and now I don't have any skin on my right thumb. > p.

Anyways!! I tried to get pins from a bunch of stuff David Guzman was in- unfortunately I don't have any more photos of the bag because it's at my moms and I'm currently at my dads. I also embroidered a logo the Guzman's had on their page on the side- but unfortunately I don't have any good photos of that either.

Progress under the cut

My submission for Week 3 of Tea’s SuoSaku Monsterfucking Month. For the prompts Vampire/Flex, it’s another Xianxia AU but modern and with jiangshi! Suo. While not exactly the traditional western vampire that feeds off of blood, jiāngshī feed off of a person’s qì (or energy) :D👍.

Extras (concept & lore)

First of all, yes, this is a reference to Suo’s costume for the WindBre Event in Kofu Shopping Street Halloween Festival. It was never going to be anything else 😭 but I added spice (read: lore) to the mix with Sakura’s design to make it more interesting. This piece was originally going to be spicier with a different pose, but I didn’t like the anatomy on that one.

concept:

For this AU, a person’s energy can be visible to the eyes of yaoguai and the appearance of the energy is similar to that of kintsugi (big thanks to @psychicwavementality for the idea). The more potent one’s (yang) energy is, the more it will attract stronger creatures. Sakura is one of the rare people who makes a lot of excess yang energy that Suo could probably live off of for years without draining the former too much.

Also while researching for references, I found that the fulu inscripted on Suo’s talisman from the official art is just “Bofurin ~ Halloween”. Incredibly cheeky of whoever drew the design and approved of it and also very fitting of Suo’s character.

I think being on the internet has given a lot of leftists a drastically skewed view of how popular our beliefs are.

Most politicians support Israel because most Americans support Israel - only 8% of the population thinks the US should publicly criticize Israel.

Bernie didn't lose the primaries because the Democrats were just too scared of having a real progressive in office so they rigged the election, he lost because socialists are the least-electable people in America and because fewer people voted for him. That's how elections work. ( In b4 'but everyone else dropped out in a coordinated effort to concentrate votes behind biden!' - yeah, if your candidate can only win when the vote is split eight ways that's not a viable candidate. And I voted for Bernie!)

As of 2021 only about 15% of Americans support defunding the police, 47% would like to see increased police funding, and the number of people who think violent crime is a "very big" problem jumped 20 percentage points up to 61% in one year.

And it's just really frustrating to see internet leftists being super condescending as though everybody should already know everything and be on board with this stuff or else they're a Bad Person, driving people away from leftist ideology or making people too afraid to ask questions lest they be branded as a Centrist or worse, a Liberal, or refusing to engage in politics until they're being specifically catered to even though that would be political suicide (and would therefore not accomplish anything anyway.)

And like. It's fine to think that people who support Israel or more police funding are bad people, frankly I think a lot of them are. But I think even more are just misinformed or not really informed about alternatives at all. And not everyone is in the headspace to do education or outreach, but when you're only 10% of the population I think you need to make a choice about whether you want to feel good about being right on the internet or whether you want to be effective. It's frustrating to have to walk someone step-by-step through why genocide is bad, but it's a lot more likely to change minds than shouting at someone that they're obviously just a genocide-loving racist is.

I want to make a joke about how witnessing Iranian missiles wasn't on my 2024 bingo card, but considering everything that's been happening for the past year I would be lying
