aziraphale costume i wore to school today, didn't manage to finish the waistcoat so it's held together by pins instead of buttons💀
also the crowley snek i made over summer that lives in the waistcoat pocket :)

I am a red panda for Halloween this year!
This costume came together way faster than I expected and I love it!!
Also I wore my hat to see my brethren at the zoo :D
The hat was actually inspired by a dollightful video. I made it last year and decided this year that it would be my entire theme

Last year around this time my mom asked me if halloween was my favorite holiday (it is) and why. My dad jokingly answered that it's the only widely celebrated holiday in the US That doesn't have Christian roots (cue conversation about Christianity adopting/stealing celebrations and traditions from other cultures) which yeah true and fair and probably a small part but my actual reasoning (at the time i was thinking about how autism affects my life and always has) was that its a time when we celebrate the weird and different and macabre we embrace the other at halloween and as someone who always felt very other it was nice to not have to work as hard to fit in because the weirdness was celebrated
Anyway I had a horrible day of pain and brain fog and began thinking about it in the similar but different lens of chronic illness or disability and wrote this little piece. The first draft was close to unintelligible due to the aforementioned brain fog but has been edited and is brought to you now by insomnia
Why do i love halloween?
Maybe its because
I could be a zombie
The way my body falls apart beneath me. no thoughts push through the fog in my head. no feelings exist but a resigned numbness as my shambling limbs fail to go through even the most basic of functions.
I could be a vampire
The way i sleep all day in an attempt to regain energy i never had to begin with and because of the blood i drink when my lips dry and crack. what does it matter if its my own?
I could be a witch
The way my medicine cabinet looks like it should belong to someone 3 or 4 times my age and how i keep trying potion after potion and pill after pill hoping something will help.
I could be a corpse
The way my skins pales and hands freeze and cheeks hollow because i cant eat and how my joints ache in protest to even the slightest movements.
I could be a werewolf
The way my body changes so quickly and so completely because of factors i cannot control. I dont recognize myself in a mirror and my abilities are miles away from what they might've been before. I can barely remember before.
I could be a ghost
The way i hover transparent barely able to interact with my surroundings. never fully there even on my best days. how i wail and moan through the night when i cant sleep because of the pain.
Maybe i love halloween because I fit in here, with all the other monsters.
Is this a poem?
A love letter?
A rant?
I dont know.
You decide.
Everyone from doctors to strangers get to judge and make decisions about my body .
You might as well have my writing too.
While we're at it,
When i die,
Take my bones.
They can be the skeleton on your front porch steps.

Trick or Treat?
- From Steve The Skeleton
Oh hello Steve! What a delightful costume--er, body--er, skeleton you have there! ;)
You can have a picture of this other skeleton I met at a Halloween party I went to this weekend, plus a picture of the empty (but still well-decorated) dance floor once everyone but me and like three other weirdos (affectionate/humorous) had cleared out:

I may say that I'm a first time watcher of DetCo but the truth is I didn't go in completely blind. My dear friend Chris had been talking about it for years and at the peak of her interest in the series, ended up spoiling several major arcs (which I didn't mind because at the time, I wasn't expecting to get into it so I gave her free pass to tell me everything lol).
My current trouble is that I've heard all about these cool stuff happening and the fandom favorite characters for which I have to wait for them to appear because they are part of the 650+ (maybe even later) episode mark. This waiting game is torture tbh 😂

Hello all my work has shorted employees hours so much that many of us (myself included) are only working one or two days this week. If you’d like to commission me to sew something for you (totebags, zipper pouches, bookmarks) or buy a pair of earrings that would be much appreciated! Absolutely not mandatory nor guiltripping, just like to put that out there in case anybody was in search of some little crafts for themselves <3
