#like S4 are a bunch of kids but they're kids with jobs

[ridiasfangirlings]

Hope you're well! Have you ever thought about how fushimi initially disliked homra due to their immature nature but in a lot of the side novels/mangas, fushimi ends up in similarly wacky scenarios (hidaka trying to cut his bangs, chasing domiyoji, anything involving munakata LOL), I wonder if he's ever noticed how scepter 4 has brought out that side of him or he just thinks that the rest of them are idiots. Maybe since it's in a smaller dose he doesnt mind their idiocy though.

I think he manages because it’s a more….controlled childishness, in a sense? Like for Fushimi, I think the immature nature that bothered him in Homra was less that everyone was a bunch of weirdos and more that they didn’t have anything else to do but be weirdos, like yeah they would go out and beat people up from time to time but otherwise a lot of Homra’s day to day hanging out was just because they wanted to. Basically it’s the whole ‘family’ thing again, Homra is a big group where everyone feels like a family and they go about doing fun stuff together all day, if there’s a problem it gets solved quick enough and there’s no room to worry about stuff or be sad (at least for the rank and file, obviously the Homra trio and Anna have a bit more knowledge about the looming shadow of Mikoto’s Sword if nothing else). This is pretty much intolerable to Fushimi, who can’t stand the idea of family and has this feeling that if he’s not showing his worth then why would anyone want to be around him — to Fushimi, middle school Yata stayed with him because he was amazing and could do all kinds of cool things, but in Homra he’s now just another one of the members and if he’s not the most amazing, not someone necessary to Homra’s survival, then why would anyone ever want him there. So in this case his dislike of Homra’s immaturity is less their actual individual actions and more that they don’t do anything that Fushimi deems worthwhile all day, they just hang out and vibe and Fushimi can’t stand that kind of thing.

By contrast, a lot of S4’s wacky adventures tend to be in the name of work — they have to take care of a baby because it’s a Strain and handling Strains is their job, he has to deal with Doumyouji’s crayons because reports are part of Fushimi’s job, getting Basashi back from the Strain who stole him is Fushimi’s job. Weird stuff happens and Fushimi has to deal with it, but most of it is just the general immaturity of dealing with S4’s squad of weird nerds (and of course, the worst of all, their Weird Nerd King) and it’s not about hanging out, it’s about doing work. Even Munakata’s bonding sessions like going to the beach or watching cherry blossoms Fushimi can explain away as part of his job (in the Sakura viewing chapter for example he’s all ready to say he isn’t going until Fuse says it’s part of work rather than a friendly viewing). I definitely think at some point there’s some fondness there that Fushimi won’t admit to, but for him it’s easier in S4 because he can continually fall back on the ‘it’s work, I have a place here because of my skills, this isn’t a family’ and that’s more comfortable for him than Homra’s family bonds.

some changes i would have made to the characters storylines in tua s4

disclaimer: i am no writer, it's just fun to think about the possibilities. btw anyone feel free to use any of these ideas for fics idc

lila doesn't cheat for starters. instead she and diego have both been secretly doing vigilante missions and keeping it from the other because they think they'll be mad. on one of these missions the two run into each other and rekindle their spark. basically the five and lila story but with diego and lila instead thanks. maybe one or both of them almost die or their kids are put in danger, and they decide to find a much less dangerous hobby, because while its thrilling in the moment they realize they wouldn't sacrifice their family for it

luther is shown to be much more depressed about sloanes absence (if there really is no way for her to come back) but he's trying to hold it together to be there for his family. would be nice if he bonded with characters like klaus, viktor or allison who have also lost their lovers. diego and lila shenanigans means they need luther to babysit a lot and luther finds happiness caring for his nieces and nephew. maybe he also finds a fulfilling job where he can meet a lot of people and help others.

five still finds the time subway but without lila. we get more time exploring the alternate timelines and seeing different ways the apocalypse has happened including ways the other sibs have ended the world. his PTSD and reliving his trauma is also explored. he eventually ends up in the five diner where he's told that they end the world every time but instead of excepting defeat and making everyone sacrifice themselves he finds another way (what exactly that is im not so sure) and becomes the first and only five to successfully prevent the apocalypse forever

allisons relationship with claire and ray are explored more heavily as well as everything she did in s3. i like the idea that she takes care of klaus because 1: hes the only sibling that will still talk to her and 2: because of the guilt she feels after getting him killed. i just wish her arc focused on something OTHER than saving klaus because thats basically all she did this season. would be nice if she spent more time with viktor and luther the two people she wronged most heavily in s3.

i would keep viktors confrontation with reggie but alternatively i would make this reginald umbrella reginald so it has much more weight to it. either that or have viktor express that even though he said his piece toward this reggie he will never actually get closure with their real father and nothing will remove the pain from his childhood. the rest i would keep pretty similar. reginald wants to kill ben and viktor wants to stop him at any cost. viktor knows what its like to be "the bomb" and doesn't want the same thing that happened to him to happen to ben. instead of working together to find ben however they're more in a race against eachother. maybe allison joins him and they make up on the way. i would have liked for ben and viktor to have had a heart to heart in the beginning of the season, maybe about how ben felt like a monster sometimes because of his powers, and viktor relating. idk how this would work with sparrow ben because he doesn't seem to hate his powers the same way brelly ben did but it would have been nice to show another reason why viktor is going through so much trouble to save him. and the ending where he trys to talk him down would be more impactful i think.

for klaus i would keep everything pretty much the same up until he runs into that quinn guy. instead i would have him travel to the subway with five in lilas place. five and klaus' powers are the most mind boggling out of the bunch not to mention time and death are inherently intertwined and this needed to be explored. also, you're telling me klaus literally has the power to talk to GOD and this never has any plot relevance???? klaus should have been involved in finding the solution to the apocalypse imo. also we needed klaus and ben interactions. idk how or when but it NEEDED to happen

ben and jennifer being the catalyst for the apocalypse is making it very hard for me to figure what to do with him tbh. i just wish he had more time with the other sibs and didn't turn into a horrific blob monster at the end 😭he felt less like a character this season and more like a plot device and he deserved to have some scenes that actually fleshed him out. it would have been cool if the reason he causes the apocalypse was actually because of his powers and not just because he happened to be the one to make skin contact with jennifer. i really thought that the twist was gonna be that the squid that jennifer was stuck in was the one that ben summons and that was why they were connected. not the fact that they both just had reactive magic particles in them that anyone could have set off. like what if jennifer being cut out of the squid was what killed ben?

OH! what if jennifer was an eldritch horror from the same dimension that bens tentacles are from and for some reason she wants to kill the brellys/end the world and because bens powers are linked to her she can control his mind ???? c'mon i feel like i've got something here

a have a couple of other ideas but don't know where they would fit in rn so yeah.

Johnny's Season 6 Fits

Because I'm always interested in Johnny's different band shirts/looks each season, I went back and compiled a bunch of screenshots, cataloging each one. For things like his gi, which gets repeated every episode, I've only included the first appearance.

So, in episode 1, we have four five different looks:

Van Halen 1984 World Tour Shirt, with flaming eagle logo. Later with the white and gray flannel over it:

The Coyote Creek/Little Red Riding Hood Fit: Faded black tee, red hoodie.

White ringer tee and gray hoodie (Very similar to a lot of his S4 looks, which makes sense, since they were teasing yet another fight for control of the dojo. Very reminiscent of what he wore right before his and Daniel's rematch.)

Eagle Fang Gi, RIP:

Miyagi Do Gi. So fresh, so clean:

Episode 2: Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass shirt. Which is an... interesting choice, for hard-rocking Johnny. Maybe a holdover from his country club prep days?

And then we have my personal favorite look, the House Hunters: Valley Edition outfit. No logo on the shirt this time, but thank you, costume department, for putting him in so many dark red/wine shades this year. Also, I really, really need that flannel.

And last, we have the return of the hideous suit. Please dear god let this have been it's swan song. At the very least, please burn that fugly yellow shirt and tie. Sweetie, that is not your color.

Episode three: First up, we've got the all-white baby shower look, complete with Led Zeppelin shirt, featuring their legendary Swan Song Records/Icarus logo. Something-something, Johnny being too confident in his girl dad abilities and flying too close to the sun.

Next up, we've got slumber party Johnny. Green and black hooded flannel and a white tee, with an illustration of a car at the beach on it underneath. It says California down one side. Fits in with a lot of the generic "California" themed shirts and hoodies the kids were wearing this season. Guess they're trying to remind us that this is actually supposed to be CA and not Georgia?

Start of ep. 4, we get LaRusso Auto Pullover #1, charcoal gray with yet another burgundy shirt underneath. There's some kind of logo/writing, but I can't tell what it says.

The 'call me a cream puff one more time' fit. Blue, white and red flannel over a plain gray t-shirt. Thank you for dressing him in blue again, and also for letting him whoop Mike's ass.

The 'brown belt' scene: I guess this is supposed to be Coyote Creek again? Anyway, black jacket, gray hoodie, with a faded red AC/DC shirt underneath. Gotta say, Billy looks very pretty in all these outdoors/woodsy scenes.

Ep. 5, Baby's first kick scene: White Corvette shirt, with a bright yellow Corvette on the back. Yet another car shirt, reflecting his new job.

And later, the dime-store Jerry Maguire scene: Another LaRusso Auto pullover, light gray this time, with another mauve/faded red shirt underneath. Possibly the AC/DC shirt again?

And there you have it, the Johnny Lawrence fashion round-up. What was your favorite look this season?

[brieforsomething]

How did china, a country that banned BLs and effeminate men create the most homoerotic reality TV show I've seen to date?

1. Ban survival shows

2. Expolit a loop hole and cast a bunch of hot MILFs instead

3. Profit

Meet the cast of Sisters Who Make Waves season 5:

Qi Wei - singer/actress (girl on the left in above gif)

Publicly stated she is bisexual, rumored to have dated fellow actress Phoebe Lin. Happily married to a man and has a 9 year old daughter with him. This only seems to mean no matter how gay she acts on this show she can still claim it's all for show

He Jie - singer

During an interview within the extras of this show was asked "if you were a man which of the contestants would you like most". Answered "why would I have to be a man to answer this question, I've always liked women" and "when I was little I only liked female celebrities". Had also married a man but since divorced him.

Liu xin - singer

She's 39 and to my knowledge unmarried. I'd like to believe I have a shot.

Chen lijun - Yue opera singer

Day job involves her playing male roles and romancing women. Large female audience.

This show has been unfathomably successful in the past few years with many a kpop idol competing (Fei and Jia former Miss A - s1, Jessica Jung former Girl's generation - s3, Amber Liu former f(x) - s4, and Nicole Jung former KARA - s5).

Anyways I think it counts as representation even if they're not totally out and also married with kids. Hilarious how the show runners can write all of it off as a really strong sisterhood tho lmao.

[forvalkyrie]

been watching chicago med and i’m either on s3 or s4 BUT i am starting to absolutely despise natalie manning and her character (ill put it under a readmore because i got a lot of words and she absolutely disgusts me)

First off, I know that she's an ER doc specializing in peds (though, maybe its because of how fast I watched everything but I never saw any epi specifically say that but its there whatever).

My disgust comes from how 1)she approaches people that aren't physically/mentally/emotionally prepared to have children and 2)how hypocritical she is. So lets get into it:

Her approach to her patients with children: I appreciate her dedication to childcare– whether this be giving the child the best of care or advocating for their rights when the guardian/parent(s) aren't listening. The thing... some of the things she's done or said are so surface-level, that they don't account for what happens after they leave the ER. Take the epi where she accidentally got a mother and her baby separated because she suspected child abuse due to a stained hematoma from child birth. Her medicine was sound, of course— anyone would suspect child abuse in that scenario. What I didn't like, and this patient (abbrev. pt) rightfully called out, was her judgemental ass. Like listen, I've worked in the medical field for years and even if you are judgemental towards something, you should NEVER let it affect how you treat/care for pt. Nat says she judged teh mom for being a single mother raising her child but... babygirl, you're a GD doctor. Your mother-in-law literally watches your kid FOR FREE. Your husband died from war– you know exactly who he is! That single mother was literally working two jobs just to support her and her baby. She even said that she doesn't know who the dad is so clearly she can't just "drop" the kid off at grandma's. People literally do the best that they can in the situation that they're in, whether purposeful or accidental. Whether or not they make sense is a wholedifferent thing. Like the other epi where the pt's older brother was a sociopath and the parents decided not to institutionalize him. As outsiders, ofc we'd be on Nat's side about taking him away from hurting his brother. But that's the thing– we are outsiders!! Nat's saying all this stuff yet if put in the same situation, she'd likely do the same thing as what those parents did and continue to keep him around. The decision to have kids is already an unfortunately loaded question but what about after? She has little to no care of her pts past the exit. This can get longwinded so if anyone wants more lmk otherwise imma stop here for this.

Hypocrisy: She's a straightup hypocrite. Early seasons, she followed most of the rules. She wasn't Will, ya know? But what got to me was how the show writes her cases. Ex. she had changed a treatment plan that Will was against because she didn't think it was that. Mind you, Will's under fire from that DNR incident. Before the autopsy, Will is rightfully angry that she switched treatment plans, despite her trying to justify it. Never change a treatment plan! Even with disagreements, shit will happen. There are contraindications, there are escalations, there's a bunch of different things that can happen even if the change is small. Not only was Will trying to be a good doctor, he was also trying to be a law-abiding, rule-following doctor. What about the time when she fought tooth and nail to use an experimental, not FDA-approved (not even a multi-stage study) drug to treat a cancer pt. Ofc, Will is furious that she's adamant on the switch and lo-behold, the pt dies. Now, this concoction could've worsen the cancer right? Except, rather than writing it so it either didn't have an effect or had a miniscule effect, the autopsy revealed that her concoction actually shrank it a few cms. Aint no fucking way that it did that-- mainly because there were no clinical trials documenting it. I mean, GIRL, WHAT ABOUT THE SIDE EFFECTS? Medicine isnt a magic potion unforunately. The time when she went off on that skivvy priest and his 14-year old wife is also on my list. She yells at Will or whatever doctor about professionalism but her attitude towards him (though RIGHTFULLY SO) was peak unprofessionalism. I mean there is a lot of bureaucracy in almost any institution, whether profit or nonprofit, but when anyone else breaks it, they get serious consequences. When Nat does it, its just a damn warning. Hell! What about when they induced a death-appearing coma to the guy that was abusing his wife? Shittt son, I'm surprised Will agreed to that given his DNR incident. God forbid that pt actally fucking died-- they both would've lost theirmedical licenses.

I just have so much to say! She gives me 'popular in HS' vibes since she is "always" right, rarely gets any true punishment/consequences and yaps of unprofessionalism to other people when she literally does the same thing. What crossed it for me and its the reason why I'm writing this now is when she snapped at Dr. Charles when she cut the dosage in half for a bipolar pregnant mother. You mean to tell me that YOU were in the right because you don't have time to keep up with every new psych journal? You literally specialize in peds– youre supposed to keep up with any and everything child-related, including pregnancies! Chief! God forbid there's new research and because you dont have fucking time to do some research (or at least keep up with medical literature), you end up killing a pt due to ignorance.

Maybe its how the writers are writing her but she's just... DISGUSTING. As a self-identifying female, I'm all about feminine/female power but this? Nah chief– Maggie is better written than she is and she's "just a charge nurse"!

[manycoloureddays]

1, 16, and 18 for the ask meme!

1. Favourite character and your favourite outfit of theirs?

this is like asking me to pick a favourite child! like, objectively it's steve harrington, he's the most character to ever character, he has the worst day of his life, finds out monsters are real (contributing to the worst day ever tm) and decides to become a better person than even the narrative gave him credit for all in the same 24 hours and then proceeds to martyr himself at every opportunity and adopt a bunch of half feral traumatised middle schoolers and he's lived in my head rent free since 2016. but then there's robin, because how can you have steve without robin or robin without steve, it just wouldn't be right! and besides that she is a code cracking ice musical genius who is good and kind and a little bit mean and brilliant and after one truly horrendous life or death situation she decides steve is her person and she will follow him into all subsequent life or death situations starting immediately and also into all future employment situations which amounts to the same thing. and honestly i could do this for nancy, lucas, max and mike as well, but i fear the rambling would take over and the wall of text would be too much, so here, have a favourite steve and robin outfit and we can all go about our days like i'm not in way too deep for so so many of these characters.

16. Favourite song in Stranger Things?

it's gotta be heroes playing when they find "will's" body. that needle drop haunts me. the kids' acting in that scene, the horror of that on first viewing has not been dimmed over time! i watched s1 a couple of months ago and it still winds me! it's painful, but so so very good

18. Least favourite character?

this is such an interesting question! there are so many characters that dislike in the show, but who are not meant to be likeable, so they're functioning well, they're doing what they're meant to be doing. i find ted wheeler insufferable, dr brenner is reprehensible, troy makes me furious, and yuri gave me nothing, but again, they're kind of doing their job.

i think my least favourite character would have to be billy, in large part because parts of the fandom (and occasionally the show) want to brush over truly heinous things he's done because they think he's hot. i have zero time for billy.

and from a slightly different, i think after they gave us tommy and carol, two incredibly interesting characters, angela as a cardboard cutout high school bully in s4 fell really flat for me

[dizzy-pixels]

Things about Cerb S4 that are weird to me:

• It implies Cerberus doesn't do a lot of work as second hand to Hades...which makes no sense to me since people are dying all the time. Out of all the jobs, anything that has to do with the Underworld seems the least likely to leave you with time browsing social media and playing solitaire.

• MC became a goddess despite saying she didn't want to. Ten years has passed so of course it's possible she changed her mind during that time but at least tell me why she did change her mind??? I still rather her have goddess powers but not act on her potential like in Hydra's route and still employed as a H.E.R.A agent.

Things I did like:

• How his truama from his abusive mom comes back up again and influence how he raises his kids. When he was a kid he had to protect his brothers from his mom and then work hard as hell under Hades. Of course he doesn't want his kids hurt, but in his mind Hyacinth is just like him at his age wanting to help his family and protect them and he loves that he values the same thing he does. He okay to let Hyacinth accompany them to find the Keres and as long as he's there to protect him he doesn't see the problem. He's done more dangerous things when he was younger, plus he's there to keep him safe this time. But MC brings up the great point that Cerberus, these are murder demons. And while one of the rare times they're not on the same page is happening, a fed up Hyacinth goes off on his own which gets him into deep trouble, and they come together to save their little one. In the end MC learns to lessen the leash and to stop being a helicopter parent and Cerberus learns that encouraging your child who wants to assist in protecting the family is great but not at the expense of willingly putting themselves in danger they're not ready for. Yes Cerberus you were doing a bunch of dangerous shit at a young age but the difference is you were forced to, Hyacinth luckily isn't. And it's your job to make sure he doesn't have to. Both parents learn and grow. And the love they have for each other is still strong as ever. I love them so muchhh.

• Cerberus, a monster with 3 headed aura and has 3 brothers, marries and have 3 boys with aura of their own being 3 bears. Three is his lucky number okay haha. I do wonder why they have bear aura though. And why Ceres has an artic fox.

• The Special where they go camping shows of the kids personalities so well and I love them so much 🥺. AND I LOVE HOW HE CALLS THEM HIS PACK.

Unrelated by why is Davy named Davy. All his other siblings have Greek names and his is just...Davy. huh??? Is it a reference to Davy Jones locker or something? Like how it's a final resting place for drowned sailors. That can kind of relate to how his grandfather is Hades aka God of the underworld....but Davy Jones Locker isn't Greek so????

[katyobsesses]

Katy my darling <3

how are you in this funky Sunday?

hope everything is going well!!

I have a very fun ask for you, because I remembered an old ask game and I thought it'll be fun to bring it back.

I'll give you a bunch of random words and some characters.

dancing + kurt

camping + sam

traveling + jesse

food + adam

mornings + rachel

autumn + tina

if you may, chose a ship for each character and write some headcanons!!

take your time!! and here's a hug 🧡

Hey Myle!

🥰

this is a fun ask! also i love that gif so much, but i find it so funny how the people in the background are dressed in summer clothes and here's kurt and rachel just... dressed for autumn...

dancing + kurt

Kurt does enjoy dancing, i mean we know that because of Single Ladies, but its not his most favourite thing to do (see First Time and Blame It On The Alcohol) he mostly likes to watch others dance if he's in a club or at a party, he's actually kind of a wallflower - unless of course he's trying to keep Sebastian's hands off of Blaine. That being said, I can see Kurt enjoying, maybe, ballroom dancing, or going swing dancing. Something more old-fashioned like he'd see in his favourite old black and white movies. Chummel popped into my head first, for obvious reasons, but I'm imagineing a senario where Kurt is some famous Broadway star, or some household name in fashion, or whatever, and he's invited onto Dancing With The Stars. now, we know they're willing to do same sex pairs (thank you JoJo Siwa! (and also Nicola Adams who did it first on Strictly (british DWTS) last year and John Whaite as the first male/male pair on Strictly this year, apparently!)) So Kurt requests this, and he gets paired up with Mike - they'd lost touch a few years back and Kurt isn't actual a DWTS fan so he didn't know Mike was a dancer on it (or maybe he's new and Kurt is a fan idk) and they have loads of fun dancing and catching up and they win the competition and get together.

camping + sam

Sam is definately a camper! and whoever he's with will have to just deal with that. But they love him so they put up with it. I'm imagining Samcedes, after getting back together around their 30s would go camping a lot when Mercedes isn't on tour. Either they'd go somewhere in Ohio near Lima or they'd go up to the mountains in LA/California and camp there, maybe even somewhere around the appalachians in New York. Mercedes demands it's more like Glamping though, maybe in some cool Air BnB in nature without other people where there's running water but it still feels like camping enough to Sam. This could also really work with Hevans, but I can imagine Kurt actually starting to kinda like camping. I mean, Burt totally took him a few times when he was a kid, but he didn't like the bugs and the dirt. But with Sam it's easier, because Kurt's in love. So he puts up with it, and begins to really get into, like, making campfires and roasting marshmellows. Maybe they go for the first time with Burt and Carole and Finn the summer before S4. and then, when Kurt and Sam are together (idk how in this senario) they go to the same campground in Ohio, or places around the appalachians. Blam, however? Blaine would totally be up for camping with Sam. idk why because he doesn't look like the type exactly but I can see Blaine, in all his button up shirts and bow tied glory, being at one with nature sitting outside a tent roasting marshmellows and making smores with their adorable little toddler next to him and Sam looking at the scene with heart eyes. (I couldn't choose just one ship for some reason... my multishipping heart is too big)

traveling + jesse

I'mma do St. Cooper because it's fun to ship them. So Jesse, after years of theatre, realises that maybe he's not the hot commodity he was in High School and he sells out and starts doing commercials and TV just to get his name out there. he hates it just so we're clear. Because he's a theatre snob. Anyway, on a job he meets Cooper. it's for a TV show set all over Europe or something and they're playing small bit roles, glorified extras really, but still, they've got a lot of time to wait around and do nothing and they're being paid to do so and traveling all around europe, so as the two glorified extras in the show they hang out together a lot and just explore the cities or towns or small little villiages in the english countryside where they're filming. and eventually they fall in love. neither of them have any idea they both have connections to the New Directions until Cooper introduces Jesse to his family like a year later, namely Blaine and Kurt, and all hell breaks loose (mostly Kurt accusing Jesse of having some nefarious plan.)

food + adam

Adam is always on the look out for british shops or restuarants in New York, but hardly any of them are right. But somehow, when he and Kurt start going out, Kurt shows him this little high tea place in Brooklyn (which totally feels out of place in the hipster neighbourhood) that is perfect. it has his brand of tea!!! and trust me, even as a non-tea drinking brit this is a thing here. Sure, most people will be fine with any if you're at a person's house, but there is a lot of debate over which is better. Tetley? PG Tips? Yorkshire Tea? Adam himself is a PG Tips man for English Breakfast tea, mostly because of their little monkey mascot that he remembers fondly from his childhood and because it was the first cup of tea he ever had. And this place had it and they brewed it to perfection and now he and Kurt go there for most of their dates and Adam talks the owners (a nice old british couple from surprisingly close to his hometown in Essex) and convinces them to let him buy boxes of the tea for himself to make at home. (okay so this is less food and more drink ahaha)

mornings + rachel

Rachel is such a morning person it's obnoxious. The only person I can think of who would be right there with her, ship wise, is Jesse. Who is also an obnoxious morning person. They would both be up at like... 5am, and working out in the gym of their apartment building together looking out at the manhatten skyline (because they totally live in one of those fancy expensive appartments), and then running scales at their piano and doing scenes at their breakfast table as their cook makes breakfast (because they are both terrible cooks, though Rachel can at least bake well)

autumn + tina

Tina loves autumn, but not the snuggly sweaters, pumpkin spice latte autumn. Tina is all about spoopy season. From September until Early November her home is decked out with Halloween decorations. She likes the tasteful gothic look, slightly celestial. She has crystals and skulls and purples and oranges, and on the week leading up to halloween proper she adds spider webs and skeletons and vampires, tacky plastic monsters that sing The Monster Mash as you walk past them and pumpkin string lights. I can imagine Artie haveing fun decorating with her, with his director brain, and he and her would dress up their kids and they'd all make cute little home videos and 'horror' movies each year. and of course they'd all go trick or treating.
