#as opposed to dressing up

[maideninorange]

What do the Len'ens dress as for Halloween (if they even dress up)?

(After doing a bit of research on Halloween, I decided that Mugenri probably isn't going to have a Halloween equivalent. Or at least, one where people dress up. As a result, I'll only be doing the Outside World Len'ens here. But you are free to theorize for those others!)

Yabusame, I feel, would really like dressing up for Halloween! Their costumes are never consistent though. One year they're cosplaying as a character from their favorite anime, the next they dress up as some kind of monster. If there's any consistency to it though, it is that their costumes tend to have weird, dimensional effects added to them that unnerve people they don't know. Because they think it's fun.

Tsubakura doesn't normally dress up for Halloween. Not because they dislike the season or anything, but because they're too lazy to put in the effort of organizing their own costume. But when they do dress up, they usually play up the mad scientist look in both costume and behavior. It's just easier that way.

Kurohebi and Haru don't dress up. Kurohebi doesn't even really know what Halloween even is, whereas Haru mostly just thinks of herself as too old for such a thing.

Aoji and Hooaka both like to dress up for Halloween! Aoji typically goes as various D&D archetype characters, or as some kind of deep sea explorer, whereas Hooaka favors either typical monster costumes or embracing the classic magician costume. They also dressed up as a clown one year, scaring many children.

Kuroji and Hoojiro both have a...complex, relationship with Halloween. They used to dress up when they were younger, but in recent years found themselves preferring not to. Hoojiro from being overworked, and Kuroji from disillusionment. But when they did dress up, Kuroji typically went as something simple but also stylish (honorable mention to that time they went as a witch/warlock one year, an omen of things to come), and Hoojiro went dressed in mostly accurate period costumes (she didn't quite get it, but people liked her costumes) .

Clause is that one person who takes Halloween as an excuse to flaunt themself. I'm talking highly detailed stuff that wouldn't look out of place at a ball here. They're very pretentious like that, and naturally annoy everyone else with all their flaunting.

Suzumi... Suzumi dresses up. What they dress up as depends entirely on which personality is in control when they do. If it's Hamee, they go in very cutesy magical girl outfits to express their maidenly heart, as they'd probably call it. If it's Ardey, they go dressed up like the villain in a slasher movie. Yes, Halloween is a nightmare for them. (Even if Benny were super active, I don't think they'd really be eager to dress up. So they let the other two fight about it.)

daredevil stuff started going to shit when people became more interested in the intersection between his religion and his superheroics as opposed to the intersections between his superheroics, his blindness and his legal career.

I know it’s July, but here’s what I think Modern AU Bad Batch would dress up as for Halloween:

Hunter- Rambo

Wrecker- Ken

Tech- Dr. Jekyll

Crosshair- Mr. Hyde

Echo- Pirate

Omega- Astronaut

Thinking about an older C!Tommy, raising kids and being a good dad can be something so, healing. And fun and awesome

I showed up to vote in my pajamas and messy hair. I’m young so I can get away with it and it’s not that uncommon to see people my age in pajamas as everyday wear where I’m from.

come to a rural town in the midwest, it is not weird to see anyone of any age wearing pajamas at any public location lol. I've seen ppl in tweety bird pj pants at a lawyer's office before (as clients)

The 12-16-23 stream is just gonna be a one man stage play of HLVRAI with Wayne in front of his green screen switching through various costumes and reenacting the full series.

the thing abt mizu is that she is extremely non-binary in such a genderqueer way that she has homoerotic energy w men and extremely sapphic energy w women.

[phasewashere]

think abt her. transfemme character in my brain

[darby-draws]

Cameron outfit challenge, yay! I just think they're neat! I've described his style as lazy punk bc he goes really simple and comfy a lot of the time, but he has fun fashion and I loved drawing these! He makes his own shirt designs for fun so thats how he got the hyperspecific GHOSTWRATH-- I mean REDACTED shirt and the Kermig creation. :)

Cam is trans & uses he/they pronouns

I thought that was so interesting/cute that Sam was like "not really" when they asked in that podcast if he was ready for the show to go on netflix and reach a wider audience. It kind of makes me happy because it makes me feel like either way, we're good. If the show blows up or just gets a significantly bigger audience, then great for the show. If it doesn't, Sam will be happy just making the show in his little bubble lol. Though it's interesting because the show has already grown in popularity/attention this year, but I guess the idea is this could be a bigger jump? The show getting a huge boost from netflix would make me feel more secure about future seasons, though it seems like amc is really committed to the show and happy with it regardless. And I loved what he said about it feeling like amc gave them a lot of money to make a fairly niche show -- so I think/hope that will continue regardless of how popular the show gets, that AMC clearly trusts Rolin's vision and wants him to execute it.

/random netflix day thoughts

Yeah, it's interesting! I think Sam's response there is pretty classy, and goes to that idea that fame and celebrity is often a side-effect of acting, and for many (if not most) not the objective. A lot of actors just love it as an artform, so the perks of getting bigger projects is ultimately about the roles it might open up for you as opposed to how identifiable you are as a name and a face.

I'm very curious to see how the audience grows with the Netflix drop - like you said, it's definitely felt bigger already with s2. A part of me really wonders if a part of that is that peak TV is over, and it feels like a prestige show in an era where even arguably 'good' shows (The Bear, House of the Dragon, Severance) aren't actually that good. Like the TV landscape is currently pretty desolate, and it feels like IWTV and Shogun are probably the only TV shows of the last little while to feel truly exceptional. It's definitely a complex show though and one that rewards attention and re-watching, which is not necessarily something broad audiences want, so who knows how it'll go on a platform like Netflix.

But yeah! I'm feeling quietly confident for a few more seasons. AMC said themselves, they don't want to make something for everyone, but rather shows that are everything for someone, and I think IWTV really hits that sweet spot for them.

the thing about the Anastasia stage musical is that like…….. as a story it’s a real improvement on the original film. way better construction, stronger characterisation etc etc etc. but…. the same choices that make it technically a better narrative also have really weird knock-on effects on the message.

Replacing rasputin with a communist party officer who’s father was one of the ones who executed the romanov family??? UGH that’s so good that’s so juicy the dynamic between the villain and Anya is SO much more interesting than in the original film. But it leads to scenes like Still/The Neva Flows where it’s like.

“The Romanov’s were given everything and gave back nothing until the russian people rose up and destroyed them!”

*girlboss voice* “All but one. I am my fathers daughter”.

And i’m just… ok but he’s right though. He’s absolutely correct there. Factually he is accurate. But she’s the protagonist and he’s the antagonist so the framing is that she’s the one we should be rooting for here. There’s no point where Anya is like “wow my experiences growing up poor and destitute and orphaned have made me morally uncomfortable with the idea of claiming my place as the daughter of the tsar and that’s going to influence my decisions and actions”. She’s just like. Oh cool i get to be a princess??? neato.
