Meet Harvey, the Moth of Hallow's Eve 🦋🎃

I wanted to make my own take on a Halloween mascot, being inspired not just by the general aesthetic of the season but also by the likes of Hamikuma from Universal Studios Japan and Emo Tu from Universal Studios Beijing. He's a fairy-like entity based on a death's head hawkmoth (well, at least in terms of having a skull in his floof) who's responsible for spreading Halloween magic. He also works as a horror host on a spooky TV program (it's part of how he spreads his magic).

He's certainly very friendly and fun-loving and kind at heart, but of course has a tendency to be a little unsettling. Outright disturbing even. A real freak weirdo creature, but ultimately a sweetheart.

Fandom is genuinely so unenjoyable if ur a lesbian. Its so impossible to engage in fandom for more than 2 seconds at this point its exhausting.

so funny watching conservatives react to queer stuff and they're like "you're not trans you just exude feminine behaviors as a man. you just exude masculine behaviors as a woman. accept that you're not trans" but then when somebody DOES do that when they do accept they're just masc women or fem men theyre like "ew butch lesbians so gross you should be more feminine you're basically a man" or "femboys are disgusting they're emasculating men this is what the left wants they hate masculinity" and don't even get me started on the shit they say about other genders and sexualities

it's like.... they truly do not comprehend the richness of the human experience. and they don't care if you're gay or trans or whatever they just want you to be exactly like them, they want to control you, for some fuckin reason I'm too tired to think about it more

I often see posts about curating your own online experience that make the point, “content creators aren’t your parents.” And, yes, that is absolutely true! And I try not to be like “as a parent,“ but as a parent…

EVEN PARENTS ARE SUPPOSED TO ENCOURAGE RESPONSIBLE READING/VIEWING BEHAVIOR. NOT filter everything ahead of time for their kid.

When my kiddo was 5, his pediatrician was asking him the usual Well Child Visit questions (“What are your favorite foods? What do you do to get your body moving? Do you know what to do if you get lost in a public place?” Etc.) and she asked, “What do you do if you see something on TV that scares or upsets you?”

I piped up like, “Oh, he doesn’t watch TV without one of us in the room,” which was true at the time and is still largely true now. She said, “Yes, but that won’t always be the case, so make sure you’re talking to him about what to do if he sees something that upsets him.”

So we started talking to him about that, and the answer is simple: “Turn it off or leave the room, and talk to someone you trust about what you saw and what you’re feeling.”

The answer is NOT “Ask your parents to make sure you never see anything upsetting again,” because that’s just not possible — and ultimately that would be doing the kid a disservice, since sooner or later he’s going to be out in the world where we can’t control what he watches or reads. That doesn’t mean we don’t try to make sure he’s watching/reading age-appropriate stuff, it just means that’s not the only safeguard he has — and that’s a good thing.

So yes, content creators aren’t your parents and aren’t responsible for making sure you never see anything you don’t like — but also, your own parents should have taught you what to do when that happens. So if they didn’t, take it from me, your internet mom:

Turn it off.

Walk away.

Talk to someone you trust about how you’re feeling.

And leave the person who created the thing that upset you alone.

I don't know why this is just in my drafts

but also, yeah, just befriending a pack of spiders, is just the most on brand thing for this man. One of the first spells he learned as a tiny child was in fact speak to animals, because he spent a good amount of time isolated and basically just became a disney princess for spiders, snakes, rats, just various creepy little creatures he'd come across and would talk to him.
