#apparently i can ramble like no one's business about my slasher babies

Sorry I continue to only send asks for Them but 🍪 🎃 and 🕸️ for the Slasher Orphanage please!

Yesss I always want asks about them!!! <autumn asks>

cookie ― have you and your f/o ever baked together? what did you make and how did it turn out?

All the time! I like to keep the house full of cookies and muffins and banana bread, and I'll take help from anyone who's around! Brahms, Carrie, and Jason are the most reliable helpers, but I can coax the others into doing some mixing for me. Carrie and Vincent are pretty reliable cooks if I'm busy but the rest are banned from the kitchen for chaotic behavior.

 jack-o'-lantern ― do you like and/or celebrate halloween? if so, what did/will you and f/o dress up as?

But of course! This year, hmmmm, let me think

Me: I'm going as a witch because it's old reliable and I don't have time for anything fancy this year! Brahms: the one kiddo who doesn't like dressing up or going out: I'm going to get him into a soft onesie, if nothing else: maybe a tiger Sadako: sheet ghost (did not ask before cutting holes in the sheets) Michael: wanted to dress as Jason but I told him no, so now he's going as a ninja Vincent: made himself a pumpkin head: I'm not sure exactly what his costume is supposed to be, but it's very cute Carrie: she's going as a doll so she can blend in with all her sibs, Vincent is helping to make the mask for her Jason: going as a werewolf Billy: he's invested himself in going as a specific background zombie from Night of the Living Dead and has been popping up around the house with various fake rotting wounds on his face to see how well his makeup is working Stu: is popping on some fake fangs and a cheap black coat and calling it a vampire costume

web ― do you have any fun autumn-related memories with your f/o? tell us about them!

I've spent a few autumns with Brahms and it's always a pleasure: doing the fall baking, letting him decorate cupcakes. One of the first times he came outside the house with me was in autumn and we went for a little walk in the gardens, it was very very special to me.

Sadako came to us in the fall, so I remember a lot of our first days together when the winds start blowing colder: this is going to be her first year trick-or-treating and I'm very excited that she feels up to the crowd!

Michael also came to us in the fall, but in mid-November: this will be our second full autumn together. Michael gets restless in the fall, but he seems to be a lot busier with all the new faces in the house. That's good for him, I think.

Vincent went a little crazy on the pumpkins last year: we all made one but Vincent made about ten and they were all gorgeous. I was very sad when we had to get rid of them, so he made me a miniature version of one from wood (he's branching out in mediums) and now it lives in my bedroom.

Carrie came to us last November: so this will be her first Halloween with us! Jason has been living in the field for about a year but last year he wasn't interacting with us much yet, so this is our first real Halloween together as well. And Billy and Stu just joined the family four months ago.
