When it comes to the first Halloween 1978 and its immediate sequel Halloween II 1981, the two films are great on their own right. Halloween II (1981) actually ends in a way where it doesn't need any timeline films to continue the story of Michael Myers.
Seriously, after watching the disaster that was Halloween Ends (2022) and how Michael was basically pushed to the sidelines in favor of Corey, it's made me appreciate Halloween II (1981) much more. Even more so, each timeline starts out with a great first film--Halloween 4, H20, and Halloween 2018. And yet, each timeline torpedoes both the second and third films into something unrecognizable.
When it comes to Halloween II (1981), it manages to pick up perfectly where the first film left off and perfectly highlights what miscommunication can do to people, seeing what happened to Ben Tramer. The fact that it takes place in a hospital with dark shadows and lighting also scores massive points with me. The whole time Michael was in the hospital, I felt goosebumps and even was on the edge of my seat as he entered the NICU with a bunch of newborn infants.
Tumblr media
Now, when it comes to the twist of the film, in all honesty, I find the twist not to be as bad as people think. I find it much more scarier than anything else.
If you think about it, by the morning of October 31st, 1981, Laurie Strode was just a normal everyday teenager, concerned with her babysitting duties and frequently exasperated and amused by the antics of her friends Lynda and Annie. In her mind, everything is perfect--she has a good job as a babysitter, she has two best friends, her life is going normal...
Tumblr media
However, by the time midnight rolls around, Laurie goes through some serious trauma: hearing her friends making concerning noises and finding out what's happened to them and the fact she couldn't protect them...
Then, this mysterious masked man shows up behind her, wielding a knife, and she has to fight for her life. Someone she probably thought would never happen, given how peaceful the neighborhood was.
Now, let's go to Halloween II (1981), just hours after her nightmare began...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Within hours of her nightmare first beginning, she has to go through being in the hospital by herself, and her parents can't even be there because the news of her attack is still very new. It's likely very possible that both Morgan and Pamela Strode likely didn't get word of the attack until the phone-lines had been repaired.
While at the hospital, she finds out the identity of her attacker and completely panics, her mind going a million miles in each direction.
Finally succumbing to her exhaustion, this is where I think her repressed memories come int9 play.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The first thing I want to know is, "Who tells this to a child? I'm not your mother?" That's not the way to tell a child, especially one with a family history like Laurie's, that they're adopted. For me, this somewhat implies that the relationship between Laurie and her adoptive mother was strained at the very least before the events of Halloween 1978.
For those who don't know, the Halloween Chaos comics does shed some insight about what happened to the Myers parents after October 31st, 1963, and it is nothing short of heartbreaking: as a result of Michael's trial, Donald Myers starts drinking heavily while Edith Myers sinks into a depression. It doesn't take long for Donald Myers to ban any mention of Michael. Something that's also somewhat overlooked is that Laurie was only two years old when she lost her sister Judith Myers.
Not wanting to listen to her husband, Edith Myers does end up taking little three-year-old Cynthia (this was Laurie's birth name before the Strode family legally changed it) to see Michael at Smith's Grove on a few occasions. This is my interpretation, but I do believe the reason Edith took her to see Michael is because deep down, the poor woman was hoping that seeing his youngest sister would help bring back the little boy Michael once was.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Not only does bringing her to see Michael not succeed, but one day, little Cynthia babbles about Michael in front of Donald. This man proceeds to beat little Cynthia/Laurie (who's only three at most) until she stops talking. This is when I believe little Laurie started repressing her memories of her biological family due to her father beating her, her mother's depression, and being emotionally neglected at just two/three years old.
With this backstory in mind, this twist becomes more heartbreaking if you think about it. In just a span of few hours, Laurie goes from a normal teenage girl to someone with a dark family history she was completely unprepared for, someone whose name isn't even Laurie, someone whose brother hurt her in more ways than her adoptive family's secrets ever could...
And as if things couldn't get worse, Laurie is given no time to mentally process this reveal and the knowledge that her whole life has been a lie because her life is immediately in danger once more.
Tumblr media
Even more so, when Michael comes after her in the boiler room, when Laurie calls out his name, it's full of confusion and hurt, almost as if she can't understand why. Why is her brother hurting her?
Tumblr media
So, while some may find Halloween II (1981) a bit underwhelming, I think it's a pretty good sequel to the original Halloween 1978 film on its own right and concludes the story in a satisfying way that doesn't even need the other timeline films to be satisfied.

Wenclair Parents
Wednesday silently reads. Enid bursts in the room holding her baby
Enid: Oh my god, oh my god WEDNESDAY!
Wednesday: Yes I’m right here, cara Mia.
Enid: I can’t find Sabina! I checked everywhere! Did you see her?! Did she go outside?!
Wednesday, putting the book down: I don’t know, dear. Did you check what you’re carrying?
Enid looks down with a sigh of relief realizing Sabina was resting quietly in her arms.
Enid: Oh my god this is the second time. Oh dear I feel like I’m going to pass out.
The werewolf hands the raven Sabina before collapsing to the ground.
Wednesday, rocking Sabina: You’re so cute. You gave your mother a heart attack. Again.
Enid: Wait a minute…. where’s the other one?
Wednesday: Right above you.
Enid looks up to see their other child Sadie (age 7) taped to the ceiling, sleeping.
Enid: Oh my GOD!
Wednesday: She needed to sleep. And that’s the only way she can.
Enid: But why? How does that even- Where did she get that- HOW DID SHE GET UP THERE?!
Wednesday: I helped her, of course.
Enid: HOW DID YOU GET UP THERE?!
Wednesday sits back in her chair continuing rocking Sabina: I have my ways, Mi Amor.

Duck or Treat?
A very Oktober Halloween(ish) Gift for the wonderful @ritualofcirice and her work Hazbin Hotel Imagines and Scenarios Chapter 3 : When Lucifer gave you your fiftieth Duck <3
While going Trick or Treat with Niffty an Halloween, Things not go as planned for you and you´re met with the Question - Duck or Treat.
Trigger Warning: NICU, premature Birth, Fear, Hospital Stay
Tumblr media
“But Dazzle would look so cute in that costume” -  a sigh escaped your lips as you demonstratively held up the little ketchup bottle-style costume and put all your persuasion,  into convincing Charlie that Razzle or Dazzle could wear a costume for the annual Halloween. But the two bodyguards of the Princess of Hell were not keen and had hidden somewhere in the hotel.
“And Razzle would wear a matching outfit - ketchup and mustard” -  were your additional words and with a reach into one of the bags on the floor, you conjured up the second costume intended for Razzle.
A Halloween mustard bottle outfit. It would have been such a great combination and in your opinion Razzle and Dazzle already looked cute in general... only the costumes would have made them even cuter.
“Darling? Maybe our demon cat told Razzle and Dazzle that you put the hamburger costume on her and wanted to take her trick or treating with Niffty?”  - Lucifer gently placed a hand on your right shoulder. His words made sense.
“Oh yes, I think Razzle and Dazzle are hiding together with your cat, buuuuut Niffty is already excited, she hasn't talked about anything else for last days” -  Charlie said with a smile and took both of the packed costumes from you.
“Maybe we can use one of the costumes for the baby , when it comes in a few months and celebrates its first Halloween?”  - Charlie changed the subject and your hand automatically went to your Stomach,  resting gently on the fabric of your dress.
“Four more months... maybe I should have dressed up as a duckling, hm Luci?” -  you replied and with one hand you reached for Lucifer's to squeeze it gently.
The duck in the oven surprise was a few months ago and since that, you told almost everyone, the public's focus has been on you, more than ever.
And Charlie and Lucifer's concern for your well-being has increased.
But it's still four months until the birth date.
Nevertheless, the thought of all the holidays and special moments , that you could experience with your baby, the family and Lucifer enchants you. The little girl would be loved and protected by everyone.
"And what are you supposed to portray?" -  came the question from Angel, who had sprinkled a little orange glitter in his hair for Halloween and an upcoming shoot for a Halloween spin-off in Valentino's studio.
"Isn't that obvious?"  - Husk commented from the bar and you smiled at the grumpy bartender. He hadn't dressed up and you had already known it.
"Oh? And what exactly is the not so obvious?" -  Angel countered cluelessly.
“A strawberry” -  was Husk’s answer.
“I thought you were supposed to be a tomato… oh” -  said Lucifer, surprised.
You reached into one of the bags again and a small strawberry handbag and a green hat completed your outfit.
“I was already wearing it , when we went through the entrance to the hotel, but it’s a bit warm here today… but yes, Husk is right. I’m a strawberry for Halloween” - you giggled and it was a simple Halloween costume. But sufficient.
“A pregnant strawberry, how cute!” -  giggled Niffty, who came running into the entrance area of ​​the hotel in her Halloween costume and the sight elicited an amused laugh from you. Charlie, Angel and Husk also had to smile.
Because Niffty had put a lot of effort into her costume. She had sewn it by hand and of course chose a bad boy from the last few decades.
A serial killer costume.
Michael Myers.
She had styled her hair a little messier and the dark suit that was typical for Michael Myers had been changed into a knee-length dark two-piece dress and heels along with one of the kitchen knives, which completed her Halloween outfit.
“Exactly, Niffty… or should I say Michael Myers?” -  you said to Niffty who gave you a proud smile and a few moments later a Halloween bucket appeared in both your free hand and Niffty’s hand.
“Don’t forget to smile Ladies!”,  said Alastor from the reception before he and his shadow wrapped themselves in a dark cloud and disappeared.
“Alastor wanted to record a special podcast for Halloween… unfortunately he’s not coming with us”,  explained Niffty and rustled the bag once.
“Oh, he’s already put some sweets in the bags. How nice of him”, you said happily and heard Lucifer quietly grinding his teeth.
“Could be poisoned and….”
“Daaad! Alastor is really trying to be nice!”
“Char-Char it….”
“Dad! Would he try to poison Niffty or the mother of my little sister and your daughter?”
“No?”
You could hear Lucifer wanting to say something else, but the ringing of his cell phone interrupted him. He let go of your hand, walked a few steps away and talked on the phone for a moment.
“I'm afraid I'll have to join you later... there's a meeting scheduled with my brothers and sisters... I'd really like to skip it, I told Asmodeus and Leviathan , that we wanted to go trick or treating with Niffty and....”  - Lucifer had a pained expression on his face, but you completely understood. He was the king of hell, one of the seven deadly sins, and had obligations and duties that he had to fulfill.
“No problem Luci, we'll take care of ourselves and I think with Michael Myers by my side , nothing can happen to me”,  you said lovingly and gave him a kiss on the cheek. If he has to go to this meeting, then so be it.
Lucifer smiled gratefully and then said goodbye.
You say goodbye to Charlie, who waves to you and Niffty as you leave the hotel, and then you set off with the little cyclops in your Halloween costumes,  to visit the first shops and houses to do the well-known trick or treating.
It was something completely different to on earth.
Treat came first and usually something ends in flames or chaos if you have crappy candy... or don't open the door in the first place.
The children of hell, however, had a special position, got lots of candy and soon Niffty's little bucket was filled with lots of candy, a card for teeth cleaning at a Dentist Place, a poisonous green apple and a bracelet with a spider web design.
You also got a few things as a companion... candy and a saying like - well, pretty strawberry all alone? Niffty had scared the guy when she rang the bell and hit the air with the kitchen knife. She really took her role seriously. You shouldn't underestimate Michael Myers and the Strawberry Duo.
"What about the house? Does it belong to someone?", you nod once to an old building on the outskirts of the city, which was dilapidated and didn't look like it belonged to anyone...but appearances are deceptive, because as soon as you asked the question, a Hellborn with a broad smile appeared on the ground with a little yellow smoke.
"May I recommend our latest scare project to these costumed Halloween visitors? A Hunted House! For just a small entrance fee, there is an almost hour-long tour of scares and horror!", the Hellborn said mysteriously.
"Oh, that sounds exciting. Do you want to do that?", Niffty grabbed your free hand and you couldn't say no.
Maybe it was because of the baby fever,  that was flaring up or because the cyclops was so small, but the pleading expression on Niffty's face triggered something in you that made you nod.
“A haunted house, huh? Let's see if we can scare the ghosts there!” - were your words, and after paying the entrance fee, the spooky fun could begin.
You ignore the slight stomach ache , that makes you grimace when you enter. That's probably from eating sweets. According to Niffty, that's part of a trick or treating trip. And you ate a lot of them as you went from house to house.
The Hellborn hadn't under-promised, the haunted house was much darker and scarier on the inside than it seemed.
There were scare actors, hidden rooms... spooky decorations and something that looked like the shadow of a real ghost.
The goal was to find a way to the exit through the labyrinth of rooms, stairs, secret rooms and hiding places. And it was fun... to get scared and discover the little details of the haunted house... the fog that suddenly appeared enveloped it in an even scarier atmosphere.
Up to the point where you and Niffty parted ways.
A trapdoor had opened under your feet and pulled you down to a lower floor... into the basement and Niffty's outraged cries had been swallowed up by the dark walls of the basement.
Nothing had happened to you when you hit the floor, a mattress had been provided and a few flashlights had been switched on for the visitors to light up the way in the darkness. You weren't afraid. The relationship with Lucifer and moving into the king's castle had given you a little more self-confidence.
When you turned the next corner and met a scar actor in a zombie outfit with one eye hanging out, you were frightened and let out a surprised scream... but you didn't expect the intense stomach pain that brought your body to its knees.
An intense pain took your breath away. For a moment, everything went everything goes black. The colors start to fade and the zombie comes a few steps closer, waving his axe in front of you and making... zombie noises.
"Aaaaaah!"-  you scream, full of fear.
Real fear... something is wrong... your body is clearly signaling that something is wrong... and that it has nothing to do with the haunted house.
When something warm runs down your legs, you are confused... before a new threshold of pain causes you to scream louder, scared and panicked.
Tears form in your eyes and at that moment the scare actor , also realizes that something is wrong and contacts the owner of the haunted house via walkie talkie.
Only when the new wave of pain hits do you guess the reason.
It wasn't the zombie scare actor's great performance... that was premature labor.
But… it was much too early and… you instinctively push… a reaction from your body, while around you quick steps approached the basement… you are now lying on your back on the cold floor… another scream escapes you as your hands search for something to hold on to, but you can’t get a hold of anything, expect the gold ground.
Another contraction causes you to push, the panic and fear for your baby manifests itself in your brain. This isn’t how it should be… you… you… should have four more months left....four months of pure Happyness and looking forward to be a parent....to promise Lucifer he is going to be a good dad, he did a very good job with charlie after all....to have late night Walks in the Park with Lucifer, to kiss him good morning and in renturn he first gaves you a kiss on the forehead, and than a kiss on the stomach for the little baby girl.
It was much too early!
The next wave of pain exhausts you… your vision blurs and you feel, only half awake, how Niffty rushes to your side and grabs your hand, begging you to stay with her… the ambulance is on the way and you would be going to the hospital… but your eyes closed too fast....it went dark too fast.
Bright light blinds you as you open them again. The voices of the nurse and doctors are so loud. Your hand automatically goes to your stomach... your now flat stomach. Where is your BABY!? In a panic, you want to jump up and flee from the hospital bed, but a kind nurse stops you and the doctor treating you takes away your fear.
                                                                            ***
“There we have our patient again, don't worry, her little daughter is fine... she is in an incubator in the premature baby ward of the hospital, we will take her to her right away. Please rest” said the doctor.
She... is alive? Your baby, who was born four months early... survived? Was she okay? What happend to Niffty?
“How... what... and Niffty?”
What had happened to Niffty... was she still in the haunted house?
“Your companion threatened our head doctor, if he doesn't provide the best possible treatment and a single room for you and the baby... he will suffer...a lot” -  was the nurse's answer with a slightly tortured laugh.
“If…if they’re afraid of Niffty, they’re scared of my Partner”
Lucifer would be terribly worried…hopefully he had finished his meeting with the other sins…damn overthinking and people pleasing…another habit of yours.
You were soon taken to your private room and were able to see your baby for the first time.
The incubator frightened you…all the tubes and wires the baby was connected to, the beeping monitors and equipment monitoring her vital signs…the feeding tube that had been put in…the little body rising and falling as she breathed and the fact that she had come into this world too early.
Tears welled up in your eyes and you were scared. Terribly scared.
The nice nurse and doctor, however, assured you that the technological standards and the chances of survival were good, even for hell.
And as the partner of the King of Hell, you would take extra good care of Mother and baby.
You were told what to look out for, how important it was that no germs got into the incubator and that you should make physical contact with the baby as soon as possible, talk to her a lot, sing to her...caring for you and your premature baby , would be unusual for both of you...but you were in good hands.
Your body, after you had assured yourself that the heart rate on one of the screens remained constant...craved rest...and you dared to go into a restless sleep. Sleep that your body desperately needed.
Several hours later, you were woken up by the gentle sounds of an all too familiar violin.
Lucifer sat by the baby's incubator and hummed the song - Hush little Baby  - quietly accompanied by the music on the violin.
Another reason besides the hormones and the event that caused your inner dams to collapse and made you start to cry.
Silent…quietly just so as not to interrupt your partner's beautiful violin playing…but Lucifer notices it and is quickly at your side…apologizes to you so many times, even though he has done nothing wrong.
He is super careful, gives you several gentle kisses on the cheek and head of hair and swears to make the owner of the Haunted House suffer for putting you into premature labor.
“Luci….my Love, I don’t think it was the Haunted House’s fault….there are many reasons for a premature birth….we’ll be fine….will you stay with us….just a little bit, please Luci? I….am scared”, you whisper and grab your partner’s hands.
Lucifer stayed overnight.
The King of Hell had slept in a chair and you had woken up in a panic almost every time the machines used to monitor your daughter’s vital functions started beeping loudly.
Something else you’ll have to get used to…future false alarms,  from the technical equipment while your baby is sleeping peacefully.
The nurses and the doctor treating you,  are doing their best to take away your fear and worry...but mother and baby still have to stay in the hospital for a while...and it will be almost two weeks before Charlie and Vaggie can visit the intensive care unit.
"Naaaaaaw, she's so small and cute! Look at her Vaggie!", -  cooed Charlie and could hardly tear himself away from the incubator and quietly talk to her little sister in baby talk , while Vaggie stood next to her partner.
Now that your body was feeling a little better, you sat down on one of the armchairs on Lucifer's lap and laid your head on his shoulder.
Your partner had been with you as often as possible at night, trying to support you where he could...and of course placed the large - congratulations it's a girl - gift basket from Ozzie and Fizzy in the room.
The sympathy for the birth of the other deadly sins was so heartwarming and the congratulations cards from the hotel residents, had made you cry tears of joy.
The public knew nothing about the premature princess. Lucifer, together with Queen Bee and Charlie, had silenced the media for the time being... you should enjoy and use the few weeks of peace that you still have left... because media hype and photos for the press were out of place.
"We don't have a name yet but... her middle name should be Charlotte" -  you say and snuggle up to Lucifer, who lovingly strokes your hair. Which causes Charlie to let out an even more touched naaaaaw.
"Babe, we still have something for mother and child remember?", said Vaggie after another fifteen minutes in which Charlie had only looked devotedly at the sleeping baby in the incubator.
"Oh yes, of course... surprise!"  - Charlie handed you a small bag.
You recognized the logo of the Halloween outfitter immediately.
Curiously, you reached into the bag and were able to pull out a set of three Halloween costumes.
"But these are..."
“Duck family costumes!” - Lucifer finished your sentence enthusiastically.
“Then you have a mama duck, daddy duck and baby duck for the coming next years Halloween!” -  Charlie listed enthusiastically.
You didn't miss the fact that the princess' eyes started to light up when you said the word baby. Well, sounds like if someone start to get baby fever?
“Thanks Charlie and Vaggie... it's perfect!” -  you thanked him and Lucifer also expressed his thanks.
“Then we already have a theme for the next year coming Halloween” -  you said and looked lovingly at the baby duck costume... it would be a long time before your baby would fit into it.
“No haunted houses for the both you!”  - Lucifer said seriously straight away.
You give him a loving kiss on the mouth and add the following sentence.
“I was thinking more of something like - Duck or Treat?”
                                                 THE END

Parent slashers catching teen reader sneaking out
This is just a quick funny one since I’ve not posted about slashers in a while! :)
Michael Myers
Tumblr media
You were trying to sneak out to a party when you looked down the stairs and saw your father standing there looking at you (picture above is exactly how I imagine it)
Michael Myers is not happy
He goes away for weeks in end and you choose the night that he is home to sneak out?
He thought he had a smart kid
He just gives you a stern look and stands in front of the door
This caused you to slowly back up the stairs and back into your room all while facing him because you were afraid to turn your back on your serial killer father when he’s in ‘strict mode’
Michael makes sure to guard your door in case your stupid enough to try again
If you did open your door in the night you’d come chest to face with your father with his arms crossed and a stern look still on his face
Bo Sinclair
Tumblr media
Bo would notice you trying to sneak out and would let you
But you better be prepared for him to sit in the chair with all the lights off and for him to slowly turn one lamp on when you get in the house before saying “and where have you been?”
He’s very passive aggressive about it
I think he’d sit in the dark for hours with no entertainment if it meant he could spook you when your sneaking back in
If you come back drunk then he’ll wait until the morning to question you, but it will also happen that he needs to vacuum your room, make a smoothie, wash clothes in the old noisy washing machine
Basically anything that will cause your hangover to be worse
Vincent Sinclair
Tumblr media
You were just on your way down the stairs when you saw Vincent at the bottom of them
He just looks at you like “wtf are you doing here”
You try and play it off like you needed water and he just looks at you like “you needed to get water in heels and a fur coat?”
He is not happy
He hates when you leave the house in the day, Nevermind for a party at night!!
You are grounded for two weeks and he sleeps in your bed with you that night to make sure you don’t go sneaking off again
He’ll also snitch to Bo so that you get your ass handed to you verbally since he can’t yell at you
Thomas Hewitt
Tumblr media
When he catches you, he doesn’t fully catch on to what your doing
So to get out of trouble, you convinced him that you missed your dad and you wanted to spend some time with him before he went to bed
So you both spend a few hours together and play games and you tell him how your doing in school
He thinks it’s one of the times he felt the proudest of his child
It’s not until the morning, when he tells Hoyt about it that he tells Thomas what was actually going on
He’s very hurt by this
He gives you a very disappointed look and grounds you
He then tells Luda may what you did so you could feel her wrath as a good punishment
You apologise to him and he forgives you, especially when he sees that Luda may put you on cleaning duty for 3 months
Asa Emory
Tumblr media
Asa already has your door booby trapped that goes off if you leave your room at certain times
To both keep you in and keep others out
So when he comes in with a knife in his hand and his other trying to keep his robe on, he didn’t expect to see you covered with the weighted net on you instead of an intruder
He makes you explain yourself while still in the embarrassing situation on being pinned to the ground with this net
He is furious
He screams at you for hours and threatens to take you to the hotel if you try this shit again
He also silent treatments you for a few days
Not to mention all the new secret locks he puts on your door when your at school
Tiffany Valentine
Tumblr media
She caught you trying to climb out of your window when she was coming to bring you your washed clothes
She’s not angry she’s just hurt
She’s hurt you didn’t trust her enough to just ask
If you had simply asked if you could go to a party she would have allowed it, hell she would have helped you pick an outfit and drove you
She’d also make sure you were in a safe environment
She sits you down and explains to you that if you’d have asked her she would have been fine with it and would have been able to make sure you were safe and happy
She grounds you for 2 weeks which quickly turns to 2 days when you give her puppy eyes
She just wants to make sure no one can hurt her sweet face

Dear Mr. Edgeworth,
I recall from one of your previous postings that you are particularly fond of cats, and am interested in your opinions on other animals commonly kept for human companionship. What are your thoughts on dogs? Horses? Rodents? Birds and reptiles?
I would assume that last one would have interesting twofold connotations given your status as a law student, due to these creatures' association with the legal profession - the epithet of "legal eagle" on the positive side, and all the jokes about snakes and crocodilians' show of professional courtesy on the negative. As an enthusiast of all things reptile related, I feel it is a reputation undeserved by these misunderstood, scaly creatures... as well as those aspiring to take on careers in law, very important for society...
But I digress. Lastly, I would also take it that, for rather obvious reasons, you don't really like fish, the way they remind you of a certain someone...
Regards, Seraphine. Again, may you excel in your studies, and no slanderous jokes come your way.
Dear Ms Seraphine,
Thank you for the kind words and inspiring thoughts.
Despite, as you noted correctly, being fascinated by cats, I am not that fond of most domestic animals, and my liking for cats is simply an amusing exception. However, there are still some species that I could call charming and interesting in ways different from keeping them as pets.
The first animal that came to mind was a graceful black panther. Ever since I was a kid, I thought of panthers as majestic, powerful guardians, trustworthy leaders, and dangerous vigilantes. They might not represent justice in the traditional sense of court cases and hour-long debates, but if one crosses their road, they should be wary of seeing their eyes shine in the dark when the night falls.
On the other hand, I could never resist swift, elegant antelopes' beauty. As someone who has always strived for success and improvement, their efortless endurance and resilience resonated with me; antelopes are in a constant state of action, awareness, and searching for new paths, opportunities. For me, they are a symbol of motivation and energy.
As my final point, I would like to mention swans. Even though they are often depicted as an embodiment of love, from swan figurines being placed on wedding cakes to towel swans on hotel beds, these birds have always struck me as an exquisite representation of change. On another note, the concept of a swan song has captivated me ever since I learned what the expression meant. It is impossible to deny that I spent hours considering what my swan song could possibly be, and to tell the truth, I still think about it from time to time.
Unfortunately, I do not have a strong stance on reptiles. They are the most beautiful when admired from afar, and their quiet deadliness amazes me; snakes in particular have been painted as villains since the beginning of time, so despite me condemning the demonization of reptiles, I understand why people have those... preconcieved notions about them.
Keeping rodents and other smaller animals as pets does not make much sense to me. For me, it would be impossible to love something that is barely capable of communicating its needs. These fluff balls always seemed closer to decor than to actual companions.
As for fish, I would not say that a certain someone you mentioned has enough influence over me to make me actively dislike fish. Marine species look magnificent in acquariums when the interior is done right, and personally, I do not mind fish... served with a tasteful side dish, that is.
Best regards,
Vincent Edgeworth

From Little Dark Age by MGMT: "Forgiving who you are, for what you stand to gain. Just know that if you hide, it doesn't go away"
Because that lyric reminds me of a certain blorbo
Tumblr media
Don't worry, it reminds me of him too

evans the type of guy to ask vinny or jeff what they are eating/drinking and then ask to taste it and when they hold it out for him he just smoochs them leaving them flustered while evan agrees it tastes pretty good

Folks I am torn between amusement & exasperation
My mother made me do a personality test to see what kind of job I should have - the intent in her head, to prove a point that I'm in the wrong career.
Well, I did, and it said I should be doing... exactly what I currently work in.
Her response? Predictably: that I must have done it wrong! Also that my result was 'scary'! and that I need to change aspects of myself.
For what, mum?? So I can try and get a lower paid job that suits the me you have in your head and not the real one?
For the record it was literally a Myers Briggs too!

INTP - Daddy issues
I have *trash* in the name of a father. I hope my kids don't have to go through this, I hope I end up with a good man someday. ✨
It was Valentine's Day yesterday, and everyone was celebrating love with their special someone/ partner. But all I kept wondering was Will I ever find the right one? Will I be able to make a good choice? Will luck stay by my side?
Well coz my mother made a really bad decision, gave up everything for a man who's as good as trash but someone she still wouldn't leave at any cost. Pretty toxic! XD Kinda scares me if I end up excepting the toxicity in my life and ruin my own and my future kids life in the process.
Pretty scary shit!!!!!
