#or how in big time halloween

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.
#i could write a whole essay on how kids tv shows tackle 'real life problems'#like when in wizards of waverly place#harper says alex fell in love w the version of dean she saw and dated in her dreams#with the obv irl connection being how people can fall in love with the idealized versions of their partners#or how in big time halloween#kendall being a werewolf and trying to hide it from jo bc he's afraid jo won't like him anymore#is possibly an allegory for how nt people feel they have to mask their behaviors to fit in#or or or how in lab rats#spike is literally just a bad attempt at dissociative identity disorder#or maybe im giving the writers wayyyy too much credit#who knows#s-in.ramble#s-in.txt#what did i just write

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!
#art#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#glorious masquerade#every time they do a rerun event they should make everyone's hats bigger#i feel that this should be true of every game#i think eng might be getting it this year? if so someone PLEASE tell me if they keep the 'be cool' line#the only localization that matters to me#meanwhile aside from foxman and catboy our halloween event this year is shrouded in mystery#i know they want to do a big fancy announcement and i am looking forward to it!#but it is pretty hilarious to look at the schedule and see basically just 'halloween event 2023 - wait for the abema'#look twst i just want to know if i need to save my keys or if i can waste them all in another bid at masquerade malleus#how pretty are the cards going to be. i need to know.

World themed command menus in Kingdom Hearts 2
#kingdom hearts 2#kh2#my gif#i'm aware these aren't all of the command menus in the game. i limited them to ones that represent the general world as a whole#otherwise this post would be really long and would take a lot more work#i'm a big fan of how they make assets that are designed specifically for a certain world or area#they're cool to look at and i never really took the time to stop and appreciate all the details#some even have little animations when you expand the menus#as well as hidden mickeys#very cool stuff#okay time to tag all these worlds...#twilight town#hollow bastion#radiant garden#100 acre wood#mysterious tower#olympus coliseum#underworld#space paranoids#land of dragons#beast's castle#disney castle#timeless river#atlantica#port royal#halloween town#christmas town#agrabah#pride lands#the world that never was

Flattering Angle. this is definitely One of the angles of all time. for aron#they look like a skeleton. but with eyes. like a scary halloween skeleton. does that make sense. i wouldn't be able to tell this is aron#if you showed this to me and i just had to guess what it was. i have no idea#so. formal thank-you to aron for existing. big fan

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
#mari answers#umari#The perks of living in a mountainous place with all four seasons if you get the best fall views ever#it's almost that time again#im in big love with halloween and could go hours talking about it but ill hold back#I'm slowly getting em in the halloween spirit even tho she doesn't celebrate it much >:3c#and I love infecting people with spookiness#sometimes i make my own fake wounds with putty and fake blood when i get bored around octoberish to see how lifelike i can make them#did i get this ask on the day we had a bomb threat at work? I forget but im late with it

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.
#text post#my post#i might be willing to go as a creepy doll even though it's a bit too feminine for me#but a fairy princess? fuck no#it's so interesting to be here after allora came out of dormancy#bc a lot of aspects of our life are so soft these days and designed to make her happy#which is wonderful! making allora safe and happy in the internal world is literally my job#but internally i get to do that by patrolling with a big sword#externally it apparently means fairy princess costumes which. not for me lol#it is interesting to observe how much lior has changed though#i know they wanted to be more like allora and to fuse with her and i am here to report that they've been more successful than they think#bc we haven't felt this cold and angry and powerful and sadistic and well cypher-like in a very very long time#instead lior/everyone has really embraced allora's whole. thing. which is what they want so it's good#even if it temporarily feels strange to me bc i have temporarily unfused#and can't help but think about how stupidly vulnerable it makes us#this started as a joke post about halloween costumes but has turned into self analysis. whatever#going to bed now i guess#cypher speaks#did stuff

“who taught him how to drive micheal myers?”
- my mom watching Lisa Frankenstein with me on monday
#true story#lisa frankenstein#my mom infamously hates how in the original halloween#when micheal breaks out of the asylum#he some how knows how to drive and is good at it#like she complains about it almost every time someone brings the movie up#so seeing the creature drive the car to go get lisa#was NOTTT IT FOR HER#she still loved the movie anyway#she cried over the creature having suspenders on in the finale scene too#cuz she’s a really big robin williams fan and found it so week zelda tributed her father in such a sweet way

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!
#ROTTMNT#rottmnt oc#rise of the tmnt#rottmnt big mama#rottmnt au#rottmnt double yoke au#trying to embrace the tism by letting myself be unapologetically cringe so we'll see how this goes#this one's for you Nugg#oc art#ocs#does this count as a halloween post even if it's 4 days late and fanart?#i mean there's a spider#rottmnt constantly rideing that line between kid friendly and hella dark without crossing over and i have no idea how they do it#first time doing a comic lol#trying out clip studio comic function#save rise of the tmnt#save rottmnt

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.
#Kirby#Kirby fanart#my art#Meta Knight#I don’t think this looks very good this was one of my first Kirby drawings and I was still figuring out how to draw everyone#I’ll probably redraw this eventually but still wanted to share this since I didn’t have time to draw anything for Halloween#aside from being a Kirby fan I’m also a big fan of Star Trek I’ve seen all the shows and movies#and I see a lot of parallels between Star Trek and Kirby#literally the whole plot of Planet Robobot is just the Borg storyline in Star Trek lol#for Kirby fans who don’t follow Star Trek the Borg are a collective of cyborgs that can essentially mechanize other species#they appear as recurring antagonists and attempt to assimilate other species into their collective against their will#and once they’ve assimilated a person they can influence that person to do their bidding#in The Next Generation they assimilate Captain Picard and turn him into Locutus of Borg so they can use him to try and assimilate Earth#it reminded me a lot of what Susie did to Meta Knight in Planet Robobot so that’s where the idea for this drawing came from#I’ll have to draw more Star Trek and Kirby crossover stuff there’s a lot I can work with for crossovers lol#like Star Trek straight up has a mirror universe full of evil versions of the characters that’s literally just Amazing Mirror#and the episode of the anime where Dedede gets the Scarfies as pets is basically just the Tribble episode from Star Trek#anyways happy Halloween please enjoy Locutus of Borb

#today I am sad about something that I know objectively is dumb#my 30th birthday is next week and the party will be next Saturday and I’m having a dinner at a nice restaurant in town#I wasn’t supposed to make it to 30 and never thought I would but now somehow I have and so this birthday is like…#a really huge deal to me you know#and I always wanted to be able to have a big party to celebrate this specific occasion and in my head I pictured all my friends/family there#I figured this would be one of the biggest parties I’d ever get to throw because to me this is the biggest milestone I’ve gotten to so far#but out of all the people I’ve invited the most that will probably reasonably show is about 10#and even that’s a bit iffy because tbh I’m pretty sure my bestie will flake on me like he always does#and if he doesn’t show up that might just end the friendship but that’s another matter entirely#also iffy because I haven’t gotten a lot of responses still even though I made the event and sent invites two weeks ago#I just… thought I had more friends than that if that makes sense#like I had bigger parties with more people attending in high school and I barely had any friends then#I’ve thrown low key Halloween parties in my mom’s apartment that had more people show up#now I’m at the most important moment of my life (so far) and I’ll barely have anyone with me#lately it just feels like less and less people care about me for real despite how many I know around work or how many are on my Facebook#it feels like my world keeps shrinking and I really don’t want that because it’s been small enough as it is#I just feel like I’m never really going to find my place or have big groups of friends like everyone else#I’m never going to have a group of friends or people I can rely on to spend time with me when needed#as it is planning things gets harder the older we get anyway just due to needing to tend to adult life#guess I still just want what everyone else has and I don’t know why I can’t have those things#and I know it’s stupid and selfish and whiny but I really want to cry because I’m so depressed that I have barely anyone in my life at all#barely anyone to celebrate something so important to me and so few who even seem to care at all either#I’m grateful for everyone I do have honestly#but that doesn’t offset this weird pain in my chest over this whole situation#maybe I should just curl up and cry until this all passes and I can go back to pretending it doesn’t matter#personal

#this is my only safe place where my irl friends aren’t following me#so i can vent ab them in peace#but we had our big halloween fundraiser tonight for my club and i was working the whole time and hardly got enjoy the event#and i was invited to an after party and i was excited to go#and then i got told that (bc the party was being held at a fellow officer’s parents’ house)#that their parents were upset with how many people were going and they were told to make cuts on the guest list#and i got cut :/#i try so hard to be people’s friends and fit in and i thought i finally had broken through and was like. appreciated and valued.#but i suppose not.#i guess when it comes down to it#whatever.#feeling very t swift mastermind rn#nobody wanted to play with me as a little kid#so i’ve been scheming like a criminal ever since#to make them love me and make it seem effortless#like dude. i try so hard. and at the end of the day nobody cares.#makes it hard for me to like.#i just feel like i have no friends.#bex says

Once again rotating Zach Barns shitty experiences post labryinthia (whenever the fuck he decides to leave)
#specifically thinking about the concept of Halloween#Zach barn getting scared shitless during Halloween when hes invited to a Halloween party of some sort#(he literally just brought his old knight costume (ppl judged him for his lil pant things just a little bit))#His roommate (NPC number 2353) explaining the concept of witches in folklore and how ppl dress up as them for halloween#And hes like ?????????????????????????? but witches are literally just real-life woman?????????#((his roommate proceeds to sit him down to talk about misogyny when he meant it in a 'oh-this-is-how-it-worked-in-labryinthia' way))#(((side note: he needs to learn how to deconstruct his misogyny so badly like he lived in misogyny town because was slurpin misogyny juice)#(((he does learn basic respect by the end of plvspw but he still got a LOT of steps to go with that post-labyrinthia imo)))#him getting really fucking confused about why witches usually have a black hats on when all of his witches wore purple cloaks#and they sat in their lil mansion in the middle of the woods stirring who-knows-what-substance (silver misogyny juice)#him learning that ppl actually physically go LARPing and that his whole time in labryinthia was literally just a big LARPing experiment#by an old man who refused to give his daughter therapy#and instead caused a lot of people an incredible amount of trauma#anyways im getting off track im just rotating that in my brain this Tuesday night
