Hello sweetie, are the halloween prompts still open? If yes I'd like to request this🔪, if you have the time naturally... Anyway I've been here for like 5 minutes and I already love your blog, your writing makes me wanna melt aaa ❤️❤️❤️

Things to Do in October // No Longer Accepting!

🔪 - have a horror movie marathon

Okay, don’t get Spinel wrong. She LOVES spending time with you. You’re the light of her life- the apple of her eye. Every waking moment (of YOUR life, since she doesn’t sleep) is spent with her arms wrapped around your waist, and her smile as wide and as content as can be. 

No, she ADORES you. She didn’t exactly have any reason not to. And, trust her, if you bored her, made her unhappy, didn’t interest in her in the SLIGHTEST, she would show it. 

… However…. the moment you recommend a horror movie marathon, she can’t lie- 

She kinda deflates a little. 

“Movies…? BEFORE Halloween night..? Y-You… You ARE kidding… right..?” 

“I thought this holiday was supposed to be SCARY! EXCITING! I mean- I’m down for whatever you are, but- seriously..?” 

She’s skeptical as you try to explain to her the reasons that people make, and watch, scary movies. None of it fully clicks with her. 

If you wanted some THRILL, then why didn’t you two just go to a haunted house right down the road? She’d heard all about how humans would set up buildings, hire actors, go all out to give their visitors the time of their lives. In fact, you two HAD gone to a few, a week or so, ago. 

And that had been FUN!

.. But… watching a screen for hours on end..? Eh, okay. If you want her to zone out and snuggle you while you end up taking a NAP halfway through the third movie, then she’d indulge you in that. 

She helped you make the popcorn, chose the selection for the night with you (with minimal real input, since she didn’t have an actual opinion on many of the options), and prepared a bowl of candy for you two to share. Pretty soon, you both were all cozied up on your couch; wrapped in a blanket. Spinel opted to lean up next to you, hoping for, and naturally receiving, an arm around her shoulders. 

And she smiled throughout the first movie! Sure, it was never really- SCARY to her, but you laughed, you screamed, you commentated, and every little thing about you just made her gem sing. 

Who cares if she didn’t fully- GET this human tradition? She had YOU, and honestly, it’s all she WANTED out of your movie night.

Though, by the second movie in, she- kind of surprised herself by getting… sort of… into it. 

She liked the visuals, the story, the characters; the monsters POPPED OUT at her more than the other films’ had. They looked so- REAL, so LIFE-LIKE. Heck, she’d squeezed your arm and resisted the urge to ask you if the people who made the movie HADN’T used any special effects, because- 

WOW, does she feel her breath catch in her throat. “Movies are fake”, you’d had to explain when you first introduced the very concept. 

Spinel wasn’t stupid. She probably hadn’t even needed the explanation in the first place- she HAD basic deduction skills, thanks, sugar. 

No, she just… she didn’t know how to explain it, but by the time the devilish fiend caught up with the main protagonist, the both of you were SCREAMING at the TV. 

“NO!!! DON’T GO IN THERE, ‘YA MORON!! NOOOOOOO-!!” 

She just got so WRAPPED UP in it all! She was- fascinated by how well humans could weave and execute stories! 

By the time midnight struck, you two were clinging onto each other; eyes transfixed on the wild chase going on in your- what? Sixth, seventh movie? Practically all of the candy was gone, and the popcorn hadn’t even made it past film number two. 

Not that either of you particularly noticed, because your favorite character just got the axe. 

Quite literally. 

“AAAAGGGHH, I HATE THIS MOVIE- I HATE IT, I HATE IT, I HATE IT!! KATIE DIDN’T DESERVE THAT!!! Y/N WE HAVE TO WATCH A NEW ONE, RIGHT NOW!! CHANGE IT, CHANGE IT, CHANGE IT-” 

And you indulge her in that, because, quite frankly, you couldn’t agree more.
