Get a Load of Dis-Guise
Tumblr media
Happy Hallo-week! Yeah, this contest is gonna be judged in November, and yeah, this is a US-centric time frame, but I'm the judge and I'm disguising this week as the one that the contest fits best with, so there.
So does this mean horror? Does this mean monsters? Does this mean demons, or zombies, or buff kissable werewolves? Unfortunately not. But, I think that there's something else associated with the season that we should take into consideration: the changing of the self, the identity of the you. That's right! Why not become anything you want, in life or otherwise? Why not dress up in that Liliana cosplay and haunt the local library? Why not cover yourself in spaghetti and claim to be Emrakul? Or, if you have neither the cleavage nor pasta for these options, perhaps design one that can fulfill some purpose similar...
Tumblr media
Design a card that changes a creature's type.
Here are your M.E.O.W.s—
Mandatory: Creature type changing
The card has to change the type of one creature to another. How it happens, doesn't matter—aura, creature ETB, mass effect, etc. This is NOT animating into a creature type or creating a token. Your effect must either add or override a creature type. You don't have to change the name, you shouldn't be changing the card type, and let's stick with in-multiverse creature types for now (which means no UB-only types like Necron or Walker).
Encouraged: Flavorful/Specific typal changing
I want to really feel that the card is about the creature type, without as much regard what it may attach to. If you turn something into a Frog, what's froggy about it? If you're making an Elf aura, how can you really Elf it up? Focus on a type that you like, perhaps, or lean into the transformative side of things.
Optional: What's in a transformation?
I was thinking that you'd be changing your own creatures, but hey, transformation is a mixed bag sometimes. Interactions can be a real pain in the butt, so perhaps changing your own creatures is best for this contest to keep it lighthearted, but you never know what it means to change or be changed. Feel free to get a little weird with studying the effect you're interested in and how you can implement it.
Warning: Layers, effects, complications
Make sure that your card works first. There are a few...weird interactions that can happen. But, that's what the workshop is for in our Discord channel! Focus on a good card first, and then whatever happens afterwards can be tweaked. Always focus before going too wild.
Tumblr media
But that's all the news fit to print! Be safe out there. —@abelzumi
> Seeing your cards in the INBOX is a treat! > It's not tricky to join the DISCORD!

Konan: Kisame, you’ve been wandering all over the place all morning. Are you looking for something?
Kisame: Yes. I’ve seemed to misplace Samehada. I just hope he didn’t get loose and wander into that nearby village … remember we had to change hideouts last time because of all the people he killed with chakra-draining.
Konan: *gets up* I’ll help you look. He … wait! There! *points out the window*
*Kisame looks; Samehada is being walked on a leash down the road by Itachi, with Deidara beside them*
Kisame: *goes to meet them* There you are, Samehada! Where did you guys take him? And … what is he wearing??
Deidara: There was a halloween costume contest in that village up the road, for pets. Doesn’t he make the cutest little sword-vampire?!
Kisame: I’m impressed you got a cloak that could fit him …
Itachi: I made it. He seemed to like it. Anyway … *digs in his pocket and pulls out a ribbon* He won second place.
Kisame: Really? Whoa! Good boy, Samehada!
Konan: Second place is pretty impressive!
Deidara: Would have been first place if loud noises didn’t freak him out so easily …
Kisame: Loud noises?
Itachi: Mm. For the “talent” portion, Dei thought it’d a good to have him do tricks, like jumping and spinning, while Deidara lit off small timed explosions, but …
Deidara: But each time a bomb went off, he jumped on a spectator and drank their chakra to “calm down”, hm. He did this to eight people before they told us we could have this ribbon if we just left.
Itachi: But on the bright side … there was also a $50 cash prize! Who’s up for sweet cakes and tea?!
Kisame and Konan:

2023 costume contest
I'm not going to show all 27 entries in this post, but here were the winners.
People really do seem to like the cute, simple costumes, so Susan "La Shay" won 🥇 with her cactus. My mind immediately goes "but it's just a green sweater, some cut up pipe cleaners, a few fake flowers, and some brown fabric". However, I have to admit it's cute and clever. (Sorry, these images are from my computer screen.)
Tumblr media
I got 2nd 🥈 with my Undertaker cosplay. It's extensive and expensive, and I freaking shaved 🪒 my eyebrows off, wore contacts all day, wore long coffin nails 💅 all morning, and kept a dog biscuit in my mouth much of my time out of my workspace to commit to the bit. I'm also wearing not just the cassock and mute robe but the cassock and two layers of mute robes! It was a cold day, but later (in the afternoon, after the parade), I removed some layers, as well as the wig and some accessories, like the nails 💅, lockets (hard to see in the photos here), and hat.
The person taking our photos was none other than Becky T., who lost to me that morning, when the pumpkin contest results were announced. She's not a professional photographer, but sheesh I feel like she used these photos as payback. 😆 Because she took that full-body pic standing on a chair, which makes me look shorter than I already am, and that's the pic she chooses out of the few full-body pics she took... and I actually growled at her 😂 through my dog biscuit when she flipped the rim of my hat up to get a closeup of my face w/ the contacts. My mouth was too occupied for me to explain she shouldn't flip his hat up like that....
Tumblr media
3rd 🥉 went to Chris and Virginia, a married couple. Chris is on my Rad Chem team, and Virginia is our boss's boss's secretary. I never saw the movie The Warriors, but looking into it, I can tell they did a good job portraying rival gangsters.
Tumblr media
The voting was online, just like with the pumpkins, but for whatever reason, you could vote for up to three costume entries. Some of the people voting for me said they also voted for Chris and Virginia.
The contest took place entirely on the 31st, and we got the results the following day.
We also had a chili cook off that day, and I didn't enter, but I was one of the official judges. We had two votes, as usual, for the chili contest: judges' choice and peer voting. First place 🥇 on both chili ballots went to Anna M., who is a team lead in Organic Chemistry. She also entered the costume contest, wearing an inflatable dinosaur costume, like this one I found online:
Tumblr media
There was also an inflatable Pillsbury Dough Boy in the contest. Many of the people who dressed up participated in a parade through several floors of our laboratory, after I fulfilled my duties as a chili judge. I'll have to ask around for footage of the parade.... 🤔 😊
I might later download all the pics from the costume contest to post here... eventually. Oh, yeah! I forgot we got a group pic after the parade! Becky T. is the pickle/cucumber on the far right.
Tumblr media
And here's a selfie 🤳 while I was working, wearing my PPE (lab coat🥼, gloves 🧤, and safety glasses 🥽).

For Halloween at school this year, Mr. Merenda grew out his mustache and donned the iconic visor and sunglasses to become the famed football manager of AFC Richmond, Ted Lasso! ⚽
Here's some quotes from the show I use with my students: 💬
“Be curious, not judgmental.” 🧠
“You say impossible, but all I hear is ‘I’m possible.’” 🙃
“Don’t you dare settle for ‘fine.’” 👈
“The harder you work, the luckier you get.” 🍀
“There are two buttons I never like to hit: panic and snooze.” 🔴
“I want you to know, I value each of your opinions. Even when you’re wrong.” 😏
“Taking on a challenge is a bit like riding a horse. If you’re comfortable while you’re doing it, you’re probably doing it wrong.” 🏇
“Never bring an umbrella to a brainstorm.” ☂️

Local library is having a costume contest on Sunday. I’m trying to decide which costume to wear. There’s a prize for most esoteric, but the Freddy Krueger costume is recognizable. And yeah, I do plan to be masked. I mask as much as possible
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
EDIT: New option! Crowley from Good Omens! I am Unsure how the temporary red hair spray looks. It certainly smells like I’m just spray painting my head
Tumblr media
I AM gonna dye my hair red but I don’t think the purple has faded enough yet for that to take well

Two-Faced Runners-up of the Halloween 2023 contest! ~
Congrats to @horsecrash, @real-aspen-hours, and @snugz as our runners-up for this week!
Tumblr media
@horsecrash — Morphic Trickster
I'll be honest: there were two faerie-oriented cards in this pool, and I knew that one of them was gonna get up there and one of them was gonna also be praised, and I just think it's funny that we had two faerie transformation cards. Not surprised, but—well, to be honest, a little surprised. Let's take a look at this aspect! It's certainly a little more mean-spirited, but there's nothing wrong with some jerk faeries. The flavor text is spot-on for sure, and wow, Insects? That's a great choice.
The multikicker and the ability that comes from it is a great choice to really sink mana late-game or just make one problem creature a little pest, OR to give yourself some extra aerial advantage later when you gotta swing for it. The multikicker wording seemed odd at first but you used the right wording for that. With the changing part of it, Eccentric Apprentice says you can drop the "gain" off that ability. I think overall this is a fun, versatile card that plays into some mischievous aspects of its color/type that aren't super easy to capture. Unlike Steve, the Recently-TF'd Insect.
Tumblr media
@real-aspen-hours — Amoeboid Gift
There are two main wording tweaks for this card. Firstly, I would make this an "as it enters" rather than "when," although I couldn't tell you precisely why. I suppose just for reaction's sake. Secondly, Arachnoform tells us that Embrace can be worded: "Enchanted creature gets +3/+3, has trample, and is every creature type." And also Reject should have "loses all creature types" after but whatever—those are some weird ones. The concept: solid. The card: really strong in limited and would probably be a bulk rare. The feeling: genuinely horrific.
I know that you wanted this to have the creature lose all abilities, and you know what, that would've made it a much stronger rare, but I want to focus on the strengths of this card. Besides being a slammin' good time for combat tricks and aggro Simic strategies, you nailed the art description and nailed something I wouldn't have thought about this card otherwise. I would've said that this was more of an actual-Simic card without knowing the thoughtless annexation of the amoeboid in question. I can see the gunk-drowned scream frozen on the soldier's face beneath the translucent body that is soon to become their body forever. It's grotesque and, like you said, deeply unsettling. Great show of transformation's complexities on a solid body of a card!
Tumblr media
@snugz — Brazen Banner
Doesn't it feel good to go back to basics? This card's a pain in the butt and thank goodness it's not common. These days, you never know, but still. I think this card shows a little historicity and a return to Magic without being nostalgia-bait or pandering. Flagbearing is a pretty complex pseudo-mechanic as it stands. You gotta start somewhere, though, and the target is right there. The ability to block stuff implying that this thing sits back and takes the hits is kind of sad for it, actually. I feel bad for a creature that doesn't even exist yet.
And I would've liked to see more flavor here, honestly. Not necessarily flavor text, but: where do you imagine this card taking place? What do you see happening to this determined soldier? Are they proud to carry the banner? Does the banner stand unfurling in the wind? To be honest, I thought about the Tarkir banners, and a young warrior with their hands gripped around a pole so ancient that the wood is indented with other finger-marks of generations past. But it could be a makeshift rebel flag just as much, a hooligan's mark running through the city. What's it to you? What's the line between nobility and novelty? I'd like more of that—from every card that ever gets submitted, for sure, but here especially where the resonance feels just on the cusp.

Good day, my fellow readers ~ 🤲
I'm in need of comfort. Know of any good comfort scenarios involving some of my fave crushes? 🙏🩵
Loki or Vision (Marvel) | Hobie (Spider-Punk)
Ishimaru (DR1) | Twogami (SDR2) | King Cold (DBZ)
The Duke (RE8) | Mr. Burns | Horned King (Disney)
Ennard or FT Freddy or Monty or Sun/Moon (FNAF)
Oogie Boogie (TNBC) | Cagney Carnation or Devil
Lord Royal Highness (SpongeBob) | skekZok (TDC)
Psycho Weasel (ft. Smartass) | Caine (TADC) *latest*
What's my scenario?
Well, I competed, wholeheartedly, in my office's Halloween costume contest this year... and I lost.
Tumblr media
This. I was Withered Chica. How did this lose? Against a girl in a black lolita dress with platforms and a white mask with blood tears? Against an OC??
So, any comfort scenarios you can link me to? Or, if you're bolder, could someone write my scenario?
If you want more details, read below ~
(warning; a bit whiny, which I try not to do, sorry)
I'm known by most as being a sweet, reserved, and devout worker; but also with a reputation for going all-out on dress-up days. Especially for Halloween. 🎃 I have for years.
Like always, I stayed up late and worked for weeks on my costume; compiling clothes & props and painting into the midnight hours. Was hard work, but it's always worth it when I step into my building and everyone flinches. My colleagues said I was a shoo-in to win Scariest Costume. In the office & out in the parade, I walked robotically everywhere. I had a sound box tucked away so I could make her groans & jumpscare noises. And mind you, I live in Florida! ☀️ I did all this, without eating anything after a light breakfast, and barely sipping any water through my under-mask's mouth slots. (Yes I had a 2nd mask on, of Nightmare Chica, for its second row of teeth!) But I didn't complain about it. I relished in it~
It's a personal thrill of mine. Performing in costume, either using my hip-long hair or hiding it in a net, especially to scare. ^^ I scare because I care, lol. (Monsters Inc/University scenarios are great too)
This time, I thought I had it in the bag. For years, the judges wouldn't choose me because my costumes, while very scary to my coworkers, were too obscure for the judges. I thought, surely, Chica would be scary *and* recognizable. And some of them did know what I was from. But alas~ 💔
I went back to my office desk sad, tearing up behind my mask. No one in my office has ever seen me cry, and thanks to my double mask, no one would. Several of them gave me sympathies, which I appreciated, but I kept my thanks short. I'm the nice level-headed trainer, and yes, there have been close moments before, but they couldn't see me like this. It was foolish to cry, I know, but I was hurt, and I never make a fuss or ask for anything. I just wanted.. Thankfully, everyone was excused to leave work early if they wished. So, I took my time peeling off my costume in the restroom as most everyone left. To the few left behind, I tried to excuse my flushed face and shiny eyes on the 1pm high hot sun. I stuck around just a little more, to finish a job. A half hour later, I was the 2nd to last one out. Drove home, listening to my Toon Patrol & The Duke playlists. Once home, I got myself a poké dinner, chugged bottles of water, took a pill for my aching head, and retired for a nap. X3 Imagining comfort scenarios, and passed out in minutes.
So, after all that, if I could be linked to a comfort fic for my situation, 😌 it would be much appreciated. Yes, I'm feeling better, but it'd still be nice, ya know? 👏 And I do enjoy reading new x reader scenarios.
Thank you for hearing me out ~

I went as Tenzin for Halloween this year! I've never really done True Cosplay before, this was the first costume I basically had made from scratch (my husband was a good sport and helped me with all the sewing). And I learned how to shave my head! That was new haha
Alas I did not have enough time to learn martial arts or acting, so most of my photos are just me looking happy in a cool costume. Not very Super Serious Tenzin of me but I couldn't help it

2023 Pumpkin contest at work
Getting ready to put together a pumpkin for the contest -- they finally brought back the contests -- at work. And since I'm gonna be Undertaker for the costume contest... I'm planning to construct a Bizarre Doll with a pumpkin for its head....
Basically, I want to be able to pose with it, a bit like:

But, the building concept for the body is based on this old entry I did several years ago:

Twisted Wonderland Fes 2023 Notes
(this is very stream of consciousness, based on notes taken during the event)
・After the livestream cut out there was a virtual concert: 3D animations of the characters performed Absolutely Beautiful and the Glorious Masquerade song
・Jamil and Kalim’s VAs held hands at the closing of the curtain so cute
・Before the livestream was an amazing, long-form version of Piece of My World. Longest version I have ever heard--it lasted throughout the entire time the VAs were appearing on stage and might have been specially composed for the event.
・The first part, pre-livestream, was a live script reading by all cast, split into two halves: the VAs for Riddle, Cater, Jack, Azul, Floyd, Kalim, Epel, Vil, Silver, Lilia performed a scene of making summer break plans to got to a beach together. The VAs for Ace, Trey, Deuce, Ruggie, Leona, Jade, Jamil, Rook, Ortho, Malleus, Sebek performed a scene of participating in a menu creation contest for the school cafeteria. Basically voiced vignettes, but instead of the characters, it was the VAs themselves, reading live in front of the audience. Really amazing.
・Then the livestream began, including a lot of Book 7 and Stitch event talk. Jamil’s VA Futaba insisted that Jamil has the coolest unique magic and so they held a vote, it was hilarious. They all have great chemistry and seemed to really enjoy it. The “what unique magic is coolest, snake whisper vs unleash beast vs Shock the heart vs silver’s unique magic” argument was hilarious. No one voted for Oasis Maker, Sebek’s VA voted for Silver’s, Jade's voted for Azul's.
・When idia’s VA have his video message all the VAs watched via little monitors on the end of the stage, but Ortho’s Aoi turned around in his chair to watch the big screen.
・When Jack did the in-game exam battle all the VAs got out of their chairs to turn around and sit on the floor to watch, but Ortho’s Aoi stood and did Ortho’s attack gestures along with the battle, it was adorable. Aoi had some great comments on Book 7, too. Lilia’s VA is very good at the battles and instructed Jack’s VA on how to get a good exams score.
・And the new info was all shared via livestream! The new birthday series will be redrawings of all the characters from the platinum suit series (same poses and everything, pre-groovy), new Halloween event is Pinocchio, an SSR platinum suit Grim is coming!
Tumblr media
・They had Leona’s VA play the hydra game from Book 6.
・Malleus’ VA talked about Book 7 and how he feels bad for Malleus.
・Ortho’s Aoi had idia’s light ring and said “I brought my brother” when he did his introduction at the beginning. Most (if not all) of the VAs wore light rings for their character, and were dressed in colors reminiscent of their dorm.
・Kalim’s kept showing off his muscles and Jade’s VA thought he was hilarious. At least twice, Jade’s VA was doubled over laughing at whatever it was Kalim’s VA was doing, it was so funny, he could not keep it together.
・Vil’s VA said that there’s a grandma version of the grandpa recording that he made for book 6 and he didn’t know which one the director was going to go with until the game came out.
・Ortho’s VA shared ideas for gear for Ortho, such animals like a fox. And also shortcake gear that smells like cake.
