#or how in big time halloween

[s-insomnia]

going on a big time rush nostalgia rewatch and i find it so fascinating how they handled addressing actual issues (homesickness, psychosomatic illness, fear of rejection, emotional repression)

like multiple times a character will plainly just. state the problem a character's having (ex: when bob tells logan that logan's relationships never work because he's afraid of rejection; when the therapist in that one ep just straight up says james' tanning spray addiction is because he feels estranged because of the pressures of his career; or when logan says that james' sickness due to him losing "swagger" was psychosomatic), just to have the other character respond by saying "what lol?"

it's so... interesting. because the writers clearly realized their core audience (kids) probably wouldn't understand the point when it's put in more "adult" terms (like kids aren't going to know what the hell "psychosomatic" means, or truly understand what fear of rejection in romantic relationships is), shown by how the point would be re-addressed sometime else in episode in much simpler terms. yet they still did it?

i mean, i don't dislike it. as an almost adult, it gives me a much greater appreciation of the show that i didn't have when i watched the show when i was 8. it's just... something i've really noticed.

some (extremely) quick doodles to celebrate the glorious return of glorious masquerade! I haven't had a chance to do much personal drawing lately, but I didn't want to let it go by without doing something!

Mari my sweet angel!!!! I used my echolocation to find you!!!!

(meaning that I nearly typed your name into the search bar again 🤦🏻‍♀️) 🎃

Anyway, given that it's nearly Halloween .... kind of .... I have some Halloween and fall related questions for you and Ume!! 🎃

What fall activities are you doing together? Are you picking your own pumpkins or buying them from a store? What designs are you carving into the pumpkins? Are you going to a corn maze? Maybe a haunted house? 🎃

What does fall look like for you and your beloved Ume? 🎃

Love you, have a wonderful day <3

Roxy my beautiful bumblebee bat i felt you trying to echolocate me!!

I started internally running around and freaking out because although i love summer most, I’m absolutely wild about doing fall/halloween stuff!

We’re totally picking our own pumpkins. We do the pumpkin head photoshoots that were a trend for a while? I did one with my sister last year and aaa it’s so fun. We carve and choose each other's designs but they vary every year! Also we make flavored pumpkin seeds after carving them (it'd be a waste not to)

Corn mazes and haunted houses for sure. I'm used to going first in haunted houses, but I'll hold his hand the whole way through! For corn mazes, I like to race through them and see who finds the way out faster!

I make a lot of pies in the fall for people so he'd be helping me slice the apples for them and rolling out my pie crusts (I'm making sure he puts those arm and hand muscles to good use) or helping me bake pumpkins so i can mush them up if I go hard and get the actual pie pumpkins instead of using pumpkin puree

For him I think he enjoys going hiking and catching the trees when they're at their most colorful. Where I live everything ends up bursting with reds, yellows, and oranges so once everything is at their peak, we hop in the car and go climb a mountain about it!

Ah one more thing! Horror movies are necessary. We have a list of them to go through that we make ahead of time. Sometimes actual horror and other times horror comedy. I'm surprisingly jumpy during the horror horror movies and end up half on top of him squeezing his arm like no tomorrow especially with jumpscares

I will say that if I'm still around tomorrow we're going to have to figure out some quick adjustments to our Halloween costume. I'm willing to do a lot of things for Allora and the kids, but wearing a flower crown and fairy wings is not one of them.

Trying out comics for the first time, so I figured I'd christen the medium by drawing a ROTTMNT comic feat. me and a friend of mine's (@nuggdoesart) OC's and a small snipped of their backstory.

For the illimination of any doubt, that red eared slider is their OC Titan (from their double yoke au) and the blue dragon is Wan, who's been pretty thoroughly fucked over by every crime boss they've ever had the displeasure of working for.

DW they both become friends... ish.... it's complicated.

Wan Ref here!

gonna go trick or treating with a friend

I didn’t have time to draw something for Halloween, so here’s this old drawing I did a while ago of Meta Knight as Captain Picard/Locutus of Borg from Star Trek: The Next Generation that I feel somewhat fits the Halloween theme. I call him Locutus of Borb.

tobacco smoker!Corey Cunningham HCs

I've made a couple posts about this already but I headcanon Corey as a cigarette smoker and here's what kind of smoker I think he is!

heavily inspired by input from @nachtmahr666

also tagging @rebel-blue, @wolvesandvampires @lastgirl0nearth

Warnings: smoking obviously, self destruction and suicidal ideation (points 4 and 5)

Corey starts smoking after the accident with Jeremy. When he's in jail waiting for his bail to be set, someone offers him a cig. He's apprehensive but his nerves are so shot, he'll accept any help he can get to be even just a little calmer. After his first drag he coughs so hard he almost throws up. But he figures it out and is shocked it does actually make him feel a little better.

Now he smokes alone in his room while Joan and Ronald are at work, or late at night after they go to sleep. His mom smokes like a chimney and he sneaks a cigarette out of her pack once in a while. He hides it until he has some alone time and then he smokes it hanging halfway out the window so the smoke doesn't linger in his room. He always flushes the butt down the toilet, washes his hands extremely well, and uses mouthwash after too, to make sure he's not leaving evidence.

He tries hard to keep it just for when he really can't handle things, he knows that it's addictive and if he let himself, he'd smoke as much as Joan does, and if she ever noticed even the one a month he steals, he'd never hear the end of it. Denying himself, almost like edging, until he has a day bad enough that he gives in. Then, heart racing, he waits for Joan to leave that little box unattended, so he can slide one out and tuck it in his pocket. He walks around with it in there, getting a kick out of his rebellion that makes him feel better even before he lights up.

When he starts working at the garage, everyone who works there smokes, and he knows Ronald won't snitch if he takes a smoke break at work, since he'll get in just as much trouble with Joan as Corey will. So it's their secret together now, one of the only ways they bond as step-father and step-son.

Corey hears someone call Marlboro Reds "cowboy killers," and he likes the way that sounds, so he switches to smoking those. As a little kid cowboys had kinda been his thing, and he still holds cowboys up as the ideal men in ways he doesn't even realize. He can't live like a cowboy, but maybe he can die like one.

Dying is definitely a part of the smoking for him. It's (novelization) canon that he thinks about dying and is mildly suicidal but scared to act on his feelings. He hangs over the railing of the stairs in the abandoned Allen house and wants to fall like Jeremy did but he can't make himself let go. Lighting up is easy, tho. Knowing every cigarette makes his life shorter is comforting to him. He's not interested in immortality.

Corey religiously flips a lucky cigarette. Upper left corner of the box. First thing he does with every new pack, he takes one out and flips it around, putting it back in filter side down. It's almost always the last one he smokes, but on days when the residents of Haddonfield are really on one, when Willy the Kid will not shut the fuck up about the cult of Thorn, he smokes his lucky early. He does not flip a new one until the next pack.

The first time Corey feels affinity for fire is the first time he strikes a lighter. Way before he ever smoked, way before the accident, he found a lighter in the crack in his seat on the bus. He quietly put it in his backpack and when he got home he sat behind his house burning blades of grass and little pieces of paper. Keeping the lighter lit for so long the spark wheel got too hot to touch. He burned his thumb on it and spent a week trying to keep his hands palm down around Joan so she wouldn't notice the wound and flip her shit.

When he starts doing yard work for people in Haddonfield, he's stoked raking the leaves or collecting branches after a tornado because it means he gets to light a fire. He loves nursing the flames from a tiny smolder to a huge inferno, watching them devour the yard waste, standing too close to the heat until his face and hands look sunburned and he has to step away.

When he starts working at the garage he realizes the welding tasks are his favorites because he gets to use giant torches. Every time he goes through the steps to turn the torch on, turning all the nozzles open and using the striker, it's a thrill. It never gets old having the sparks rain down on him. In the novelization it says he thinks about turning the torch on other things in his life, and the thought doesn't have any specifics but it brings him comfort. He wants to burn it all down even before he meets Allyson.

After he meets Michael, he smokes openly in front of Joan, her freak outs have no power over him anymore. He tears the filters off. He's not careful about making sure the cherry's all the way out before he flicks his butts anymore, let it catch a piece of trash and start a wildfire. Everyone would be better off if it did.

He tells himself if Terry Tramer comes around while he's got a lit cigarette, he'll put it out right between that prick's eyes. Let him walk around with a permanent mark staining his reputation just like Corey does. Then the stars all align when he knocks Terry out and the torch is right there. He can do so much better than just a little cigarette burn now.
