Don’t you love it when the voice actors for a show are so good you can perfectly imagine what emoji goes with it

Wirt from Over The Garden Wall is such a relatable character because he's utterly convinced everyone hates him and thinks he's a loser based on practically no evidence whatsoever

OL EUA YUGQ G XGOYOT OT MXGVK PAOIK, OZ ZAXTY OTZU G MXGVK. NGVVE NGRRUCKKT! 🎃⚠️

(costume talk and yapping under the cut)

starting from back to the front:

stan and ford are handing out candy this year, stan dressed in his vampire costume and planning to scare kids and ford is wearing a mabel (turtleneck!) pumpkin sweater, about as festive as he's willing to dress up this year. ford was originally planning to hole himself up in his lab and work on data analysis or whatever nerd shit he has going on but stan invites him to help scare the hell out of kids. ford declines initially, better things to do, but after checking to see how stan's doing (badly), ford decides to help by bursting out of the bushes with a glowing laser gun, face cloaked in shadow. it's more fun than he expects or admits and he eventually fully joins stan.

soos and melody are trick or treating in a couple costume, soos as zelda and melody as link. melody wanted to cosplay link for awhile and you cannot convince me soos wouldn't jump at the chance to dress up as a badass anime elf princess who can fire lasers.

mabel, pacifica, and waddles are dressed as utena, anthy, and chu chu respectively. i have a headcanon that post working at the diner and slowly getting used to normal kid things, pacifica discovers anime. specifically shojo princess anime. she finds utena and loses her mind over it in private, with mabel eventually breaking down her walls and getting her to admit to the sin of liking anime. mabel gets pacifica to show her her favorites and mabel immediately insists they need to cosplay as utena and anthy for halloween, pacifica is a princess after all! (said in jest, but baby gay panic ensues on pacifica's end. mabel is pretty oblivious to her plight and doesn't realize why being pacifica's knight makes her feel so giddy until later on.)

dipper sees pacifica joining mabel as an excuse to flake out on trick or treating without being a total jerk, especially since they'll be joined by candy and grenda later. i know he's working on not trying to grow up too fast by the end of the series, but kids and teens are full of anxiety and doubts and i figure he would be pretty awkward about a lot of things still, even after learning otherwise. wirt doesn't want to dress up since the previous halloween ended with him in the unknown then waking up in the hospital, but greg still wants to go trick or treating. dipper tags along to help babysit greg despite it not really being necessary, wirt's just glad to have someone to chat with while he takes greg, especially someone who doesn't leap to finding him strange. greg is going as a ghost elephant and wirt assumes it's just the weird kid tradition of layering costumes over the years, but greg's logic is that he "died" as an elephant last year so now the elephant is a ghost. if wirt heard this he would probably end up freaked out, but kids are often more aware of things than expected. dipper is wearing wendy's hat since she traded with him at the end of the series.

putting wirt and greg in there could feel a little random, but these are my two favorite shows to watch during autumn and i associate them with each other. plus, it's otgw's ten year anniversary and it's so perfectly halloween, i think it makes enough sense to put them together. idk i love joy and whimsy, i am cringe and i am free.

i initally wanted to include other characters, candy, grenda, and wendy for sure but i was also considering coraline, wybie, and norman. felt way too complicated so maybe i'll draw something with those characters some other time.

[sunnylolli]

weird question but have you ever watched Over the Garden Wall?

I do not see how this i an odd question, but I have indeed!! I rewatch it for halloween every year, it's like a lil tradition! I take a lot of inspiration for when I think about spooky little au's for The Centuries Old Men

Thinkin about Patton as LilyPadton—

But he’s being carried around like this by c!Thomas, like Greg carries around Jason Funderberker—

This is my morality

He’s a frog right now

Well ya see, he really likes Frogger and-

So, saw an OTGW post I reblogged some time back earlier today, and yeah, seeing as how I'm still on my spooky kick (along with Cartoon Network releasing a new short for OTGW that just validates me further), you want to know what one of my favorite parts of OTGW is?

Just how much the teenage characters act like real, well, teenagers.

This is admittedly platforming off that other post, but Wirt spends most of the series ignoring Greg and not really paying attention to his little brother's well-being, treating him like a nuisance, but he's never outright hateful or bullying towards Greg, in his world, Greg is basically just some kid he's stuck with. And yes, seeing him come around and FINALLY start acting like a good big brother to him was incredibly satisfying.

In addition, from how Wirt talks about his life back in his world, and especially Jason Funderberker, it's treated as if he's a social outcast back home and Jason your typical jerky highschool rival. But then when we get to see what it's really like back home, not one person treats Wirt like he's at the bottom of the highschool pecking order.

And yes, it could be the ambiguous time period, but there aren't any jerk jocks or mean cheerleaders among Wirt's peers--they're ALL kind of dorks, Funderberker included. Heck, especially Funderberker. For as much as Wirt plays him up as a jerk, Jason is, if anything, even more of a nerd than Wirt himself...and he's not even intentionally malicious or spiteful.

This series is wonderful.

Some more otgw head cannons if you please (Sorry it’s been a literal year for these bad boys)

For the first little while after getting home, Greg would be hesitant to sleep in his room without having several night lights on, so one day while Greg is out of the house. Wirt puts a bunch of those glow in the dark stars on the ceiling of Greg’s room, it’s safe to say the gesture was appreciated.

Sara would be a fan of baking little treats for her friends birthdays. Which is something Wirt absolutely adores about her and it’s a good excuse for them to spend time together while Greg ‘helps’

Greg likes to customise random items he owns, either by painting them or adding a little ✨something✨ to give them a little more character (for a long time it was just a crude caricature of Jason funderberker)

Wirt would probably collect taxidermy and give them names either related to poets or someone he meet in the unknown with one of his favourites being a Agrias beatifica viso he named Beatrice.

Wirt would often re-arrange his room because of his intrest of interor design which wouldn't be an issue by his parents, if he did it at a resonable time insted of the middle of the night, while quietly humming songs to himself during his bouts of insomnia

Sometimes the boys forget if certain things happened in or outside of the unknown and catch eachother slipping up

If either of them have a ‘life flashing before my eyes’ moment they’ll just look to the other and say

“Welp just saw the woodsman, that was lovely. I’m gonna go sit down now”
