Carnival Costumes | Task 15

Fyodor - a gladiator. Golden armbands that cover his mark, a sculpted chest piece, a red skirt, a belt with a sheathed sword, a shield on his back. He’s fully committing to the bit for Declan and it’s fully going to bite him in the ass. 

Glenda - Death Eater - but subtle. Glenda is political, not stupid. Her outfit is a typical red devil costume. Red devil horns, red leotard, red leggings, red makeup. But then there’s the small details. A silver skull mask worn on the side of her head. Comical skulls drawn on her forearms. If you know, you know. If you don’t, it’s still a fun look. 

Clifford - “Hear no Evil”. Look, Clifford is booksmart, but he’s hardly the brains trust. He didn’t want a sexy outfit, he didn’t think Enes would want to go matchy, and he came up with what he thought was a funny joke. It’s a monkey costume. Like literally a monkey costume you could hire from the costume store that is essentially a onesie. It’s kinda cute, kinda silly. It does not look like a monkey. 

Devereaux - A skeleton (Karate Kid style). He’s got the black outfit with the bones. It’s kinda cheesy. But then his face - god, his face. He’s handpainted it himself. It’s beautifully rendered in brush strokes of white and black and grey. The curve of the eye sockets is… oddly melancholy. And then he was given the “Return to Laure” shirt without much opportunity to say no, so now he’s just a skeleton that belongs to Laure.

Lonnie - Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-Show. As in, he isn’t there.

Cassidy - Carmilla. It’s a look that most people probably wouldn’t get, but she feels powerful and feminine and that’s all she cares about. Her dress is velvet and clings to her every curve. Long sleeves, a deep v-neck, and a train that pools around her feet. Her hair is teased out. Blood red lipstick graces her smile, smudged in deliberate places. Is this a practical outfit to do Halloween things in? Absolutely not. Does Cassidy care? Absolutely not.

Kimiko - Madge Maddox, her favourite musician. She’s got a big blue star painted across her face, full skeleton earrings dangling from her ears. She’s in platform glittery boots that she fully cannot balance in, and a striped sequined jumpsuit. Her hair is sculpted back against her head with more gel than even Oliver Hedley has used. 

Rishan - full magician regalia. Like literally what he wears on stage. A three piece suit, decorated with black sequins and rhinestones to catch the light and give him that ethereal look. His coat has tails and he’s wearing a top hat. And stage makeup. Guyliner. Guyliner. He’s having a lot of fun walking around and doing magic tricks. It’s back to his roots, and it’s a breath of fresh air. 

Whitney - he wasn’t planning on wearing a costume, but he also knew that he would feel Lily’s disapproving glare all across the festival. So he’s wearing plastic vampire fangs and a black cloak. 

Harrison - a card shark. Yes, it’s terrible. He knows. That’s the point. His hair is slicked back and silvery-grey. There’s a fin stuck to his back. And the worst part - the worst part - is the cards crafted into his lapel and cuffs. He’s wearing a pair of fake pointy teeth that he has to take out for almost every conversation. 

Jack - he’s a Snitch. He’s got gold glitter on his arms and cheeks and hair, he’s wearing dumb shiny gold shorts and a vest, and silver pipe-cleaner wings. He’s so proud of it. 

Euphemia - The Lady of the Lake. She’s wearing a silvery, wide-sleeved dress that falls like water. There’s a braided green belt around her waist, and a matching braided crown. Her hair is loose and wavey. And she’s holding a sword. She’s very excited about the sword (don’t ask her about the sword, because she will jump into a long history lecture about it). 

Shivaun - Dullahan. He didn’t have much time to prepare, but he wanted something to cover his face. He’s wearing an actual pumpkin on his head, with the insides carved out by magic and cleaned by magic so he doesn’t smell like pumpkin. He’s cut triangle eye holes and a zigzag mouth. The rest of his outfit is formalwear - a white shirt with puffy sleeves and frilly cuffs, and an embroidered waistcoat. His scarring is covered and his face is covered and he’s never felt more handsome. 

James - For the sixth year in a row, Sirius Black. He’s in the same shitty black wig, which is getting progressively more knotted, the same school uniform, which is unbuttoned down to his navel, and the same Gryffindor tie, which is very loosely and sloppily tied. This year has a very significant extra though - a handheld mirror to occasionally blow kisses into.

I know this is a tiny part of the wider problems born of diet culture, fatphobia, classism, and racism but like god the idea that "healthy" food must inherently taste bad has completely ruined us as a society.

I have a feeling that beneath the little halo on your noble head There lies a thought or two the devil might be interested to know You're like the finish of a novel that I'll finally have to take to bed You fascinate me so

You Fascinate Me So, Blossom Dearie

The math just adds up!

#dungeon meshi #falin touden #marcille donato #farcille #I always loved how chapter 27 ends with them both so bloody and 28 starts with them in the bath. #not just because of how iconic the bathtub moment is but because you know they had to scrap off so much gore first. #I think everyone in the party took a very long and methodical bath but Falin was basically *all* blood*. #Being covered in blood is one of those 'just girly things' that women deserve to stop being shamed about. #I just don't think Chilchuck is progressive enough. He probably made them take a bath first B*/ #Okay jestering aside I want to just highlight - #The magnitude of Marcille's joy at seeing her dearest friend again! Of holding her and sharing her presence in the same room! #Something about this reunion feels like a beautiful dream you are afraid of waking up from...

If my mom sees a significant amount of blood she gets lightheaded, and has fainted on some occasions. Once it happened when we were kids, I wasn't there to witness it but I heard the story from my dad. Basically my brothers, around 7 or 8 at the time, were playing outside while my mom was making their lunch, and she accidentally cut her finger. It wasn't anything serious, but it drew a fair bit of blood and she passed out. My dad saw this and rushed over, but he didn't really know what to do so he just sort of started slapping her to wake her up (not recommended, but he had no idea and panicked)

At that exact moment my brothers both came in from playing, and all they saw was our mom unconscious on the floor and our dad slapping her. So, like, without even saying a word to each other they both just INSTANTLY start whaling on him, like, full blown attack mode to defend our mom. Which obviously didn't help the situation, but she did wake up and everything was fine.

Now our dad says that he's actually really glad they attacked him over what they thought was going on, because it means he raised good boys. And I still think that's true, they're very good boys.

#i think about this story sometimes like yeah I'm proud of them for that too actually. good job baby brothers #they're not babies anymore of course they're turning 20 next year which is crazy #but they're still the type of people who'd do something if they saw something of this sort happen for sure #respectful of women and everyone else too. they're good guys #I'm glad I ended up with them living in my house against my will for like 14 years #anyway i have no idea where i was for all this but my best guess is probably a friends house given the time period #i was always at my besties house lol #i hope she's doing well too actually. haven't spoken in forever... #bestie from greek elementary school... if you're out there... let's get muffins and fanta at the bakery across the street again someday 💜☮️

i got rickrolled today but it didn't work because i have adblocker installed, so youtube just told me i violated the terms of service. yesterday i was trying to edit a picture as a joke for my girlfriend, and google made me check a box to prove i'm human because i wasn't "searching normally".

it isn't just that capitalism is killing fun and whimsy, it is that any element of entertainment or joy is being fed upon by this mosquito body, one that will suck you dry at any vulnerability.

do you want to meet new friends in your city? download this app, visit our website, sign up for our email list. pay for this class on making a terrarium, on candlemaking, on cooking. it will be 90 dollars a session. you can go to group fitness, but only under our specific gym membership. solve the puzzle, sign up for our puzzle-of-the-month-club. what is a club if not just a paid opportunity - you are all paying for the same thing, which makes you a community.

but you're like me, i know it - you're careful, you try the library meetings and the stuff at the local school and all of that. the problem is that you kind of want really specific opportunities that used to exist. you are so grateful for libraries and the publicly-funded things: they are, however, an exception - and everything they have, they've fought tooth-and-nail to protect. you read a headline about how in many other states, libraries have virtually nothing left.

do you want to meet up with your friends afterwards? gift your friends the discord app. you can choose to go to a cafe (buy a coffee, at least), a bar (money, alcohol) or you can all stay in and catch a movie (streaming) or you can all stay in bed (rent. don't get me started) and scream (noise complaint. ticket at least).

you want to read a new book, but the book has to have 124 buzzwords from tiktok readers that are, like, weirdly horny. you can purchase this audiobook on audible! your podcast isn't on spotify, it's on its own server, pay for a different site. fuck, at least you're supporting artists you like. the art museum just raised their ticket price. once, they had a temporary exhibit that acknowledged that ~85% of their permanent art galleries were from cis white men, and that they had thousands of works by women (even famous women, like frida! georgia o'keefe!) just rotting in their basement. that exhibit lasted for 3 months and then they put everything away again.

walmart proudly supports this strip of land by the street! here are some flowers with wilting leaves. its employees have to pay out-of-pocket for their uniforms. my friend once got fined by the city because she organized a community pick-up of the riverfront, which was technically private property.

no, you cannot afford to take that dance class, neither can i. by the way - i'm a teacher. i'm absolutely not saying "educators shouldn't be paid fairly." i'm saying that when i taught classes, renting a studio went from 20 bucks an hour to 180 in the span of 6 months. no significant changes to the studio were made, except they now list the place as updated and friendly. the heat still doesn't work in the building. i have literally never seen the landlord who ignores my emails. recently they've been renting it out at night as an "unusual nightclub; a once-in-a-lifetime close-knit party." they spent some of those 180 dollars on LEDs and called it renovating. the high heels they invite in have been ruining the marley.

do you want to experience the old internet? do you want to play flash games or get back the temporary joy of club penguin? you can, you just need to pay for it. i have a weird, neurodivergent obsession with occasionally checking in to watch the downfall and NFT-ification of neopets. if i'm honest with you all - i never got into webkins, my family didn't have the money to buy me a pointless elephant. people forget that "being poor" can mean literally "if i buy you that toy, i can't afford rent."

you and i don't have time to make good food, and we don't have the budget for it. we are not gonna be able to host dinner parties, we're not made of money, kid. do you want some kind of 3rd space? a space that isn't home or work or school? you could try being online, but - what places actually exist for you? tiktok counts as social media because you see other people on it, not because they actually talk to you.

there was a local winter tradition of sledding down the hill at my school. kids would use pizza boxes and jackets and whatever worked, howling and laughing. back in september, they made a big announcement that this time, rules were changing, and everyone must pay 10 dollars to participate. when im not scared shitless, i kind of appreciate the environmental irony - it hasn't gone below 40. so much for snow & joyriding.

i saw a bulletin for a local dogwalking group and, nervous about making a good first impression, showed up early. the first guy there grimaced at me. "sorry," he said. "there's a 30-dollar buy-in fee." i thought he was joking. wait. for what? the group doesn't offer anything except friendship and people with whom to walk around the city.

he didn't know the answer. just shrugged at me. "you know," he said. "these days, everything costs money."

#spilled ink #warm up #“why did u tag it warm up” bc i wrote it off the cuff while drinkin coffee lol #btw the 30 dollar buy in for the dog walking is bc they pay the organizer a small pittance so she can #run fb ads and stuff and like she does put in a lot of work i don't mind paying her #but that's exactly what im fucking talking about like. #ppl can't afford to volunteer their time anymore and we all understand it!!! everything costs money for everyone! #like we didn't have to use to say ''do you mind paying me back for the stuff we ate'' #we used to be able to afford to feed our friends once in a while!!!

i say i like tragedies and everyone’s all like ‘why do you like sad stories? are you depressed?’ and never ‘how was the catharsis? was the catharsis fun?’

#i don’t know how to explain this to normal people 😭😭 #for the record my coworkers didn’t directly question me on this #but i think i have vastly overestimated the amount of the population who is aware of like. Films. #NOT claiming that i have seen a lot - but i’ve mentioned three *REALLY* well-known films in the past four days #and got blank stares each time #the one of them was a REALLY good reference too… someday my top-notch association skills will be recognized #my first act as Mansion Acquaintance of the [redacted] Director will be to force everyone to watch a 40s romcom i didn’t even like #i’m getting off the point #the POINT is that It’s About The Catharsis

Obsessed with characters who portray themselves as worse than they are. Who are lying to everyone including themselves about it. People generally assume if someone's lying about themselves they're trying to look better but sometimes they're trying to look worse. They attribute agency to where they had none, add intend to accidents, try to convince everyone that this is something they did instead of something that happened to them.

#this is about tenko bnha #but it is also about dahlia ace attorney #watch the nezumiVA videos on ace attorney trilogy they're great #anyway dahlia saying she (at like. 6 years old) apparently convinced her father to abandon her sister. hmmm #also everyone including herself thinking of her as the manipulator in control with terry when she was 14 dating a 20 y/o #anyway these characters both did do terrible things but feel the need to pile on more and remove nuance from where it exists #to convince themselves that this is what they really want. that they chose this. #it's about the loss of control it's about being a victim feeling worse than being a villain #at least if you were the bad guy you had autonomy #shimura tenko #shigaraki tomura #dahlia hawthorne

whenever i see another tiktok girlie talking about how she wishes to have been a fangirl in 2010s i feel like a seasoned veteran overhearing a foolish youngin boasting about wanting to go to war for glory and adventure. you naive little idiot. you know nothing. you understand nothing. you weren't there in the trenches. i have seen things, terrible things. i cannot plug in my phone charger at night without being plagued by the visions of Him

#you wouldn't be able to keep calm and carry on through these years #you can't even say kill without censoring it in a million ways #2010s were a bloodbath be glad you were a baby at the time and didn't witness it #on another subject anyone remember that short period of time when everyone was into moustaches for some reason?? #what the fuck was that about
