Happy Samhain / Halloween!!
The British Isles are one of the most mysterious and ancient magical lands in the world. From them came thousands of legends that touched the heart and memory of humanity for centuries; and from them it was born Samhain and then Halloween; times of the Weak Veil, for the passage of those who crossed to the Other Side. Time for reunions… and danger.
That is why myself and @greengreekeyes25, decided to do this work together. It was handmade, painted and made in two exact half, representing our admiration and respect for these very special nights, sharing some of the most significant characters. Of the hundreds of mythical creatures, we chose these:
Herne the Hunter (England): The ghost of the forest surrounding Windsor Castle. He is related to the oldest hastate gods in European mythologies.
Banshee (Northern Ireland): Considered messengers of death, these ancient female beings from Celtic mythology announced the death of someone through their screams.
Cù Sìth (Scotland): It is a supernatural Hound of the Scottish Highlands. According to legends, its fur is made from the oldest leaves of the Celtic forests and it lives among the rocks of the mountains. It is responsible for guiding the souls of the dead to the Afterlife.
Mary Lwyd (Wales): The oldest guise to symbolize Samhain and ward off spirits that cross the veil. Consists of a horse skull decorated with ribbons, with a sheet attached. It is used in New Year's Eve celebrations for night processions.
We hope you like it… and Happy Samhain!
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Las Islas Británicas son unos de los territorios mágicos más misteriosos y antiguos del mundo. De ellas salieron miles de leyendas que tocaron el corazón y la memoria de la humanidad por siglos; y de ella nace Samhain y luego Halloween; los tiempos del Velo Débil, para el paso de los que cruzaron al Otro Lado. Tiempo de reencuentros… y de peligro.
Es por eso que decidimos hacer este trabajo conjunto. Fue hecho a mano, pintado y realizado en dos mitades exactas, representando nuestra admiración y respeto por estas noches tan especiales, compartiendo algunos de los personajes más significativos. De las cientos de criaturas míticas, elegimos estas:
Herne el Cazador (Inglaterra): El fantasma del bosque que rodea el Castillo de Windsor. Se lo relaciona con los dioses hastados más antiguos de las mitologías europeas.
Banshee (Irlanda del Norte): Consideradas mensajeras de la muerte, estos antiguos seres femeninos de la mitología celta anunciaban la muerte de alguna persona a través de sus gritos.
Cù Sìth (Escocia): Es un el Sabueso sobrenatural de las tierras altas escocesas. Según las leyendas su pelaje está hecho con las hojas más antiguas de los bosques celtas y habita entre las rocas de las montañas. Se encarga de guiar las almas de los muertos al Más Allá.
Mary Lwyd (Gales): La apariencia más antigua para simbolizar el Samhain y espantar a los espíritus que cruzan el velo consta de un cráneo de caballo decorado con cintas, con una sábana sujeta. Se usa en celebraciones de fin de año para procesiones nocturnas.
¡Esperamos que les guste… y feliz Samhain!

This is an assumption. But why do you think JK bought his property in Itaewon out of all places ? And now building a mansion there which means that will be his main house he decides to settle. I've seen all korean stars buying their homes to love with their family in more decent and high end areas like Gagnam, Hannam etc. No one really buys property in itaewon with an aim to settle there with family as it's like the party spot of SK. Itaewon is known for clubs, brothels, parties, drugs and prostitution, most only go there to party, have one night stands or do illegal activities. Someone visiting Itaewon often is eye brow raising enough so building a whole mansion there is sus af isn't it ?
Hey,
I understand tone can’t be accurately interpreted with written words, so I just want to make my tone clear first and foremost.
I’m speaking with no harshness, judgement or condescension.
DM me and we can delulu cutely together with no air of authority on the matter, cos we should know we don’t know shit, but can still want to coo and dream with others 🤗.
We’ve seen and been outraged by sasaengs and their stalking of members and called them out at times. We’ve literally seen Jungkook on live entering his apartment and being annoyed with sasaengs loitering outside of his building, he has even said in that same live that he knows people knows where he lives and posted online.
Put yourselves in their shoes, who wants millions knowing your full address and being able to turn up unannounced? Because they’re fans of your music, of your image? I’m gonna leave that there.
I will say in regards to Itaewon, I’m not Korean, I don’t have a Korean father, a Korean brother, a Korean bff who works at Hybe, nothing. I do have a friend who went on a program, studied there and lived there for years but that’s it. I don’t know anything about Itaewon apart from the Halloween tragedy and a K-Drama. So guess what I did, yup you guessed it, I GOGGLED💪

Incoming cheeky tone…I thought I said ‘genuine asks’? This right here sounds like laying down the groundwork to paint a certain picture of Jungkook?🤔🤨
Tumblr media
Itaewon
You said: ‘I’ve seen all Korean stars buying their homes to live with their families in more decent high end areas like Gangnam, Hannam etc’.
I say: That’s a pretty bold, blanket statement 😬
Famous idol Rain and his actress wife and children have a home in Itaewon as do many other celebrities with their spouses, partners and families
Actor Song Joong-Ki and his British wife, who was pregnant at the time, moved to his Itaewon mansion along with her family from the UK. They welcomed a baby girl in 2023.
Tumblr media
Chaebols like those belonging to the Samsung family also have homes in Itaewon
Doing my googles, Itaewon is known as ‘a multi-cultural commercial area located in Seoul, South Korea. It is one of the most popular neighborhoods in Seoul, known for its nightlife and trendy restaurants.’ ‘Seoul's International District’.
I know some other places that sound like the above.. London…New York…Paris…
I wonder where the prostitution, drugs and one night stands come into it for people who wanna buy or build houses in those cities?
Jungkook is currently a 26 year old multimillionaire, who is a member of one of the biggest groups in not just South Korea, but the world, so I guess he’ll have lots to do when he’s not working his ass off with his intense more than full time job. Settling somewhere with family…I’m sure he’ll take Bam into consideration in his plans, wherever it may be.
Something I did find cool when doing my googles 😁
Tumblr media
‘Korean singer-songwriter JYP (Park Jin-young) and Yoo Se-yoon's hip hop duo UV released the song "Itaewon Freedom" in April 2011. The title alludes to (and the lyrics celebrate) a common Korean perception of Itaewon's "open atmosphere", in contrast with conventional Korean culture, which is more conservative.’
Tumblr media
LGBTQIA+ ‘haven’ Itaewon
‘The 2020 South Korean Netflix television series Itaewon Class is set in Itaewon. The drama was praised for its diverse and inclusive cast and its realistic portrayal of subjects such as prejudice and discrimination against foreigners, ex-convicts and the LGBT people, as well as the portrayal of misbehaviors by chaebol corporations.’
Sounds like Itaewon is a cool, diverse, inclusive place, full of sites & attractions, shops and good food. If a 26+ year old man that’s been working and in the public eye since 13/14 wanted to build a home there, Itaewon sounds like a great place and a good investment.
I’d love to visit there, if I ever had the time AND money 🥲
Thanks for the ask, it caused me to learn something new!

DIABOLIK LOVERS HEADCANONS PAGE 2
If the sakamakis/mukamis had TV as kids they'd definitely be watching cartoon network and MTv
Yui one time as revenge waxed laitos eyebrows-
Ayato caught yui watching TWILIGHT and started to act like Edward towards her-
During pride month the brothers take yui to pride but REIJI ACTS LIKE ONE OF THOSE ALLY MOMS 😭XD
Kanato is only scared of one thing...BATHS
One time yuma ate a raw egg when ruki refused to help him shop for more food since his garden crops couldn't handel the heat
Occasionally whenever Kou loses it he loves to smash a bottle on yumas head-
Reiji snuck out to a Malice Mizer concert once (Shu found out but never told anyone)
Kanato watches child's play-
Karl- he is better than reiji with phones
One time kous fans picked on yui that resulted in kou actually making his fans scared of him-
Shu thinks all vampire movies except for "Interview with a Vampire" and "Dracula" are bullshit
(Canon)Yuma devours more than someone's blood-
One time when Laito and Kou were watching desperate housewives laito did what Orson did to bree and put sleeping pills in his drink WHICH RESULTED IN HIM PASSING OUT ON STAGE DURING A CONCERT
Kanatos committed more than murder
Genderbend headcanon- male cordelia would treat the triplets better and cordelia would've loved to have girls instead
Yui used to get picked on by other church girls-
On Halloween reiji gives trick or treaters toothpaste-
Yui would be a nervous vampire-
Actors au: Shu and reiji would be besties irl and ayato would be so clingy to yui and laito cringes during bloopers-
Kou once suprised a fan on their birthday-
Actors au again- laito would have the most frequent bloopers
AYATO...HAS MADE A FANFICTION-
yuis favourite music artist is lady gaga-
Cordelia if she was more verbally abusive would be one of those 1930s mothers when their husband isn't home from work-
I think christa would have been better off with a lobotomy instead of suffering and if she did get one subaru most likely would cry after leaving her during a visit.
Yui went to prom and purposely dressed as CARRIE thanks to kanato
Reiji and Ruki argue about politics-
One time Reiji scolded kanato for 4 hours because he couldn't answer 6 times 3-
Kou grade average is A+(or grade 6-9 in the UK) thanks to rukis painful tutor sessions.
Ayato once went to the school Councillor and by the end the Councillor had to go to a therapist and the THERAPIST HAD TO GO TO ANOTHER THERAPIST AND THE OTHER THERAPIST HAD TO- you get the picture.
Another actors Au thing, During one of the bite scenes with reiji he actually bit yui hard by accident and became a sobbing mess with yui just laughing trying to comfort him 😭😭.
If the sakamakis played smash or pass with the mukamis the only one with the most passes is ruki and yuma (because shu "killed" his brothers for saying smash to yuma-)
Yuma 100% has a southern accent COME ON COWBOY YUMA IS CANON
One time ayato accidentally blasted cupcake(...GULP GULP GULP CUPCAKE-) when reiji was hosting something-
Subaru draws pictures or takes photos of the now modern world for Christmas as a gift and a sorry that she can't live in it..*SOBS*.

What the Ghost ghouls were in their mortal lives (Headcanons!)
Just headcanons that ive thought of <3
Aurora
I feel like she would've been an owner of a super aesthetic store, like the most ultimate place to get cute clothes that matched everyone's aesthetic, whatever it may be.
Cirrus
She gives off strong army vibes — She was an army cadet as a teenager (UK PEOPLE KNOW) at the very least. She was the sweetest cadet in the squad, but could definitely pin you down and beat your ass if needed. She doesn't take shit from no one (ahem- swiss.)
Cumulus
I feel like she would be an early years/kindergarten teacher, always in the most bright colours and taught the kids through singing and music. She's good with children and finds them adorable, even if it means she drinks coffee more than any other substance and marks worksheets with stickers.
Sunshine
I am telling you, this girl is a history BUFF, she worked in a museum — simply as an employee, but found happiness and love in every single day. She definitely lived her mortal life to the fullest.
Swiss
He's done military service, like Cirrus, but he really found passion in singing. He was definitely the soldier bringing up everyone's spirits in hard times, while being the fastest and most agile.
He and Cirrus definitely have competitions and races in the Ministry/On tour just to have fun and keep fit. A real brother/sister relationship where they challenge literally everything.
Who can drink water the fastest, who can do the most press-ups, who can do the drills better? It’s always a competition between the two.
Sodo
He was actually always a musician. He always was a lead guitarist, and he can't let go of that in his immortal ghoul life either. He enjoys the freedom of it, the thrill he gets on stage, the adrenaline of a show.
Mountain
He owned a small bookstore in his hometown, a little cosy one where anyone could come along and read/buy books. He knew everyone that came in, chatted with them about life. He just was a calm boy with a lot of close friends, in all honesty. He enjoyed talking about books, the pure fact it could bring out long conversations about possible endings was his favourite thing in the world
Rain
He was a tattoo artist (totally not based off of @rainyhoursinhell, im totally not obsessed with 'there is a star in the sky', not at all! teehee)
He was definitely also the teenager that gave shitty stick and pokes in the school bathroom, his motto was "Once its on your body, its your problem" so he wouldn't get the blame if it got infected
Phantom
He was a scare actor! He loved going around the theme parks, just being a little silly and getting reactions out of people. He also loved getting into costume — he said it was like halloween every day (He loves halloween)
Aether
He was a journalist for music -- A bit like Sodo, he couldnt give up the thrill of music, just in a separate way. He loves interviews specifically, writing up and meeting different artists and bands
He met Sodo's band once, but they've never realised since being in the Ministry for whatever reason. Maybe one day they'll realise they met before.

i will take you up on your book rec offer right away actually! i would love to hear what your favourite (horror) books are :)
Dark Harvest by Norman Partridge - It's about this Midwest town where the people starve and lock up their sons a week before Halloween night, and they let them loose to chase this jack-o-lantern monster, in the hopes of getting out of town. I can't say more than that, because it'll spoil the plot twist.
This book is really fun for fall or Halloween, and it has a really neat way of narrating the book. I also really liked the plot twist, and I didn't see it coming.
The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson - It's about a woman who goes to a haunted house as part of a scientific study, and ends up possessed by the house.
At first, I had trouble reading Hill House because it started out very slow, but I picked up one of the audiobooks, and I'm so glad I persevered because it's so worth it. About halfway through, it picks up, and it's so good. Because we have the MC Nell, who is this repressed woman in a homoerotic love-hate relationship with Theo, one of the other participants in the study, then we have Nell's weird thing with Hill House and it warping and possessing her. Ugh.
The Bright Lands by John Fram - (cw: sexual assault, murder. There's probably more, but it's been a bit since I read it.) It's about this guy named Joel who comes back to his hometown after his brother dies mysteriously, and he confronts his traumatic past while uncovering a town conspiracy.
This book was wild. I think I devoured in like a day because I was obsessed with it. It's this insane book based in Texas where like a demon or a monster is feeding on the evil things this group of men is doing to the boys in the town.
Fen by Daisy Johnson - Fen is a bunch of short stories set in the fictional town of Fen, which is a weird town set somewhere I think in the UK? Sorry, it's been a bit lol.
If you like small towns that are just fucked up, you'll like this book. I actually haven't read all of this book, but I love it. It has a house that is obsessed with the girl that lives in it and devours her girlfriend. It has a group of women who eat men.
Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado - This is another short story collection. There's a lot happening in this book lol.
I remember there was this insane sequence that was basically horror fanfic of law and order svu, and it was amazing.
Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica - (cw: cannibalism, sexual assault, dehumanization, racism. If there's a cw, this book probably has it.) So it's based in a world where supposedly the animals have become infected with a disease that makes them off limits to people, and the world resorts to cannibalism. The mc is a guy that works in a meat factory where they butcher humans raised as cattle.
This is a really fucked up book, but it's so good. If you like books where everyone is horrible, and nothing good happens, you'll like this book. It was nauseating, and I mean that in the best way possible.

15 questions for 15 friends
Thanks @willameena and @somethingsteff for the tags!
1. Are you named after anyone?
No
2. When was the last time you cried?
About an hour ago! Just a little cry, my parents and brother have been visiting me over the weekend as it's my birthday soon and they'd just left so I'm back to being here on my own!
3. Do you have kids?
No, and I don't see that in my future, but am honorary auntie to my friends children
4. What sports do you play/ have you played?
Currently playing field hockey. I've been playing for 11 years now. I absolutely love it, playing in defense and in goal, and also coach and umpire (umpiring only when they reeeeally need me to though!).
Have played - would be easier to list what I haven't 😂 I've played football, cricket, basketball, netball, volleyball, to name a few.
While being able bodied myself, a friend of mine who works with local charities for disabilities organised some wheelchair basketball tournaments that I'd been invited to play in. Quite an experience! Don't think I embarrassed myself too much, but a bunch of us from my hockey team put a team together, and we had fun and a laugh with the other teams involved.
5. Do you use sarcasm?
Yes, to my detriment. I once sarcastically agreed to be a hockey team captain one year, the sarcasm wasn't picked up and a couple of months later I see a facebook post advertising me as one of the captains :| I followed through and did the year, but never again!
6. What's the first thing you notice about people?
Eyes, mouth, facial expression, gauging their interest in the current situation
7. What's your eye colour?
Blue and brown - brown around the pupils, kinda starbursting out into blue towards the edges (central heterochromia o.O)
8. Scary movies or happy endings?
Scary movies usually, I'm a bit cynical and like it when there's a twist at the end where the bad guy wins!
9. Any talents?
Not especially, I'm reasonably good at as sports and crafty things. My 'weird' talent would be that my fingers are hypermobile, so my fingers bend a bit backwards at the knuckles, and I can bent the finger tip joints while keeping the rest of the finger straight
10. Where were you born?
Oxfordshire, UK. Moved to Bedfordshire/Hertfordshire area before I was 1 and have stayed here since
11. What are your hobbies?
Playing hockey, video games, reading, crafting and making little things, such as reconfiguring and painting funko pops, and recently made myself a Sabine Wren mando armour costume for halloween
12. Do you have any pets?
No
13. How tall are you?
5' 1.5"
14. Favourite subject in school?
I was quite partial to maths, biology, and PE
15. Dream job?
Not really sure.. I was always interested in computing and ended up with a job in the IT industry, but it's more in the 'business' side than computing. I've gone vegan and got an electric car over the last 2 years, and have been trying to be more 'green' in general. So it would be cool to be able to do something in that realm, making steps in that direction more accessible and financially viable for businesses and the general public. If money wasn't an object I used to want to work in Game or HMV so I could just play games all day and mess about with merch, while somehow not getting fired
No pressure tags (sorry if you've already been tagged, but enjoy another if so!) @briliantlymad, @isthisfree, @lesbianakins, @underacalicosky, @grapenehifics, @starwalkertales, @piecesofeden11, @trannakinskywalker, @sashkalive, @billowypantss, @mars-attacking, @bolshoiromanova, @vaderborn, @veloursdor, @tideswept
And anyone else who fancies doing this, open invite!

Concept I thought up after a horror movie binge and faerie mythology wormhole:
The UK brothers and FACES+ family get together for some reason (Halloween? Birthday? Pity reunion?) and someone decides to spook them all with some magic. I know we like to say England's all serious and down-to-Earth, but like.... you can't tell me he doesn't have a mischievous streak.
It's supposed to be a harmless prank! Except he manages to let demons/Unseelie into the house and they do not want to leave. They also don't want the people to leave. Cue plot twists, psychological and paranormal horror.
I'm going to keep adding onto this because I can't get over it. Also other people add on if you have anything bc I have done nothing for spooky season and I'm feeling silly.

The Princess of Wales’ Stats - First Quarter
In the first three months of 2023, the Princess of Wales completed 35 engagements, averaging around 11.6 engagements a month. Her work rate was fairly steady, completing 12 engagements in both January and February and 11 in March. She also appeared in four released photos, videos, or statements in both January and March, while she did so 7 times in February - many of which were linked to the launch of her Shaping Us campaign. In January, Catherine was spotted four times. As well as this, four unusual photos of Catherine have appeared during this quarter - a photo of the Wales family at Winter Wonderland (taken in December) surfaced on January 1st, while a photo of Catherine from Halloween 2022 was released by an acquaintane a few days later. Similarly, two wedding photographs appeared - one from the wedding of Catherine's step-sister-in-law Laura Lopes and one from her brother James Middleton - both appearing to show Catherine in the background. All three months have been fairly quiet for the Princess of Wales.
Of her 27 patronages, she has visited or completed work for 5, totalling 18 engagements in total. In January, Catherine completed nine engagements on behalf of her patronages. 8 of those were for the Royal Foundation of the Prince and Princess of Wales, while the other was for the Rugby Football League. In February, two of Catherine's six patronage related engagements were for the Royal Foundation, while she also completed one apiece for the Rugby Football Union, The Irish Guards, Polar Preet's Polar Mission, and the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. In March, four of her engagements were related to the Royal Foundation, while two more were related to The Irish Guards.
Of her 35 engagements, 16 have been solo while another 16 were when she was accompanied by her husband, the Prince of Wales. Two engagements took place with the Crown Prince and Princess of Norway, while Catherine also undertook one engagement with the wider British Royal Family - Commonwealth Observation Day.
All of her engagements have taken place in the UK, in England (31) and Wales (4). More specifically, 15* of her engagements took place in Windsor, the first time her most common UK-based engagement site has not been London. She also halso undertaken 5 engagements in London, 2 in Leeds and 2 in Cornwall. She also undertook engagements in Liverpool, Birkenhead, Luton, Surrey, Derby, Slough, Cardiff, Salisbury, Llanelli, Port Talbot, and Rhondda Cynon Taf. NOTE: A number of her engagements were meetings and could have taken place in either London or Windsor. A number of the Princess of Wales’ meetings were confirmed to take place in Windsor Castle, I will be counting these as taking place there until informed otherwise.
With the launch of the next phase of her Early Years Campaign - the Shaping Us campaign - many of her engagements have linked to the Early Years, with fourteen engagements falling in that area specifically, with another one engagement linked to mental health and one further related to children and young people. 4 of her engagements have linked to both the military and sport, while 3 engagements have been focused on diplomatic natures. Two engagements were on the theme of culture. She also undertook one engagement specifically linked to the outdoors, as well as one linked to the Commonwealth. Four of her engagements did not fit into the theme headings I have created.
Clotheswise, her most worn identified designer has once again been Alexander McQueen, followed by Burberry, LK Bennett and Roland Mouret, although she has worn sixunidentifed looks. Her most carried bag designer was Mulberry, followed by Emmy London. Her most-worn shoe designer is, again, Gianvito Rossi, althought she has worn her Blundstone shoes four times. In terms of jewellery, she has predominantly worn Shyla London pieces, although 8 of her accessories have been unidentified. or pieces inherited from the late Princess of Wales (with 5 wears each), She has also worn items from Daniella Draper and Spells of Love with 3 wears each. When it comes to hats, Catherine was seen in five hats, each made by a different milliner/brand - Inverni, Juliette Botterill, N Peal, Sean Barratt, and Jane Taylor.

I am a massive fan of zombie media. Have been for years now. I binge watch zombie shows/movies all the time, having exhausted Netflix' UK cataloge. I listen to any zombie-flavoured podcast that comes along, read any undead based books I can get my hands on, hell I even did the whole Zombies! RUN! thing for a little while. All of this to say, it's a big part of my life.
And I think I've figured out the root of it.
I'm the youngest in my household, meaning my mother was rather lax with rules, and I has unrestricted access to the internet. Which included such delights as BBC iPlayer, the driving force behind my, now crippling, zombie media addiction.
I was scrolling through iPlayer one day, hoping to find something to watch. I was a big fan of game shows, regularly watching the Challenge channel on TV, so I was perusing the game shows on hand.
Then it showed itself.
I Survived A Zombie Apocalypse.
A definitely rigged (in hindsight, not to my 12 year old mind) game show in which contestants had to survive several days and challenges in a zombie infested shopping center. Think Zombieverse but British and about a decade earlier. It was due to be taken off iPlayer soon, so I watched it over and over again. It wasn't overly gorey, but gorey enough that I knew my mother wouldn't let me watch it if she knew, so I have kept it a secret for the last 9 years.
Tumblr media
I wanted more, though. Game shows wouldn't cut it anymore, I needed zombies to scratch that little itch in my brain. Not long after ISAZA was taken off iPlayer, I began my search. That's when I found the masterpiece that would kick my zombie obsession into overdrive.
Dead Set.
A limited zombie series aired on E4 in 2008, made specially to run after episodes of Big Brother in the run up to Halloween. In the work of fiction, the zombie apocalypse breaks out during an eviction night on big brother. The housemates face tricky dilemmas and life or death situations.
If you have not watched Dead Set, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO SO. It's such a great show and holds such a special place in my heart. I've watched it countless times, and it'd utterly brilliant. There's funny bits, thrilling bits, and the overall craftsmanship of the show is just gorgeous for the time.
Tumblr media
It also has zombie Divina Mcall. What more do you want from a zombie show?
I, again, watched that in secret for years Finding new shows along the way. That was it, two shows and my zombie mad self was changed forever.
What show started your zombie fever?
