I'm going for some sort of elven person. O should just screen shot my shopping carts, lol.
Based on what I have right now, I think I just need some sort of belt pouch/potion bandolier situation or a faux leather satchel.

This Halloween I think I'll just do what I did last year. ;_; Dress up all freaky and chill with my favorite scary movies alone...with a cookie.

*gasp*
I need to make a little costume for Derpy too!

How about Derpy goes as a penguin? :}

i second this! so cute. :)

Hypothetically, if there was a Halloween party and you "went" as the Invisible Man. Does that mean you could skip going and say you were there, but no one saw you due to the costume?

i'm going to say yes.
i read it to my introvert hubby, who was all "i'll get right on that for you... i got the joke."

so that's why i'm saying yes XD

Awww....penguin Derpy! Would actually kind of match my color scheme tbh...
Time to buy some felt and...fabric glue!

For anyone curious, these are the main ideas/items I want for my costume:



The pendant isn't a definite item yet (because I'm trying out a neclace with a large snake pendant with red eyes that may work instead), but I'm 90% sure I want the rest of it.

i DO like that top!

According to the measurements, it should be about knee-length, maybe slightly shorter, but it is off Amazon, so I figured I'd plan for thr worst with the faux leather leggings.

oh yeah, leggings make sense. i'd wear it with leggings.

I initially was gonna with more of a green & brown elven ranger type outfit, but I feel like that's super overdone and cliche...plus this outfit was almost $50 cheaper until I found the finger armor things. XD

can you post the link for the top? it's probably not in my price range, but i'm curious nonetheless :)

The price isn't terrible on them, kind of pricy, but not bad since it's more a dress than a shirt.

oh! that's not that bad at all! *adds to wishlist*

What's the point of wearing a mask if you're not gonna wear it over your nose?? >_>

kitty - i made this, it's what i think of whenever i see someone with their mask under their nose.

I just think of the Derpy version my friend made. XD
But yeah, it's frustrating to see so many people not wearing masks correctly. The other day I had to get groceries. I was wearing my mask correctly. The cashier was wearing their mask under their nose. The person behind me was wearing their mask under their nose. The person ahead of me wasn't weating a mask at all.
*facepalm*

Halloween costume alternatives for Derpy:
An Astronaut
A Pineapple
Super Derpy
A Donut
A Rainbow Peacock
A Pirate
and hold onto your socks,
A Dinosaur Ghost!

Awww those are all great ideas!

:} Now it'll be REALLY difficult to choose!
<x'} Lol I'm so sorry!
Tho honestly, you're welcome. >X} I think Derpy would make an adorable anything!

Lol. I'll have Derpy costumes ready for the next several years!

._. I managed to read a 230 page novel yesterday, and I enjoyed it. But I was extremely tired waking up today.


Also I took a walk out in the lovely, orange skied, ashy rain today. And I saw a roadrunner in someone's front yard. MAgical. 0u0 <3


Also also, a Cane's chicken just opened closer to where I live, and the line is so long, it'll probably still be there at 2 in the morning. T-T; I want chicken but I won't be getting it for a long while...


ALSO also also, I feel emptiness, but I'm doing better in my life and my therapist commended me for my efforts and how far I've come just within the span of one year. <B/ I'm still empty as f*ck inside, but I guess I'm glad I didn't decide to die. <xc *crosses fingers* now I just need to stay alive long enough to save up TONS of money for Australia.


In other news, :} the West Coast is VERY much in danger of being cremated. It's kind of crazy how out of control it is, despite authorities and officials claiming it is going to get under control. oUo;...the plumes of smoke and fire are doin' me a hekkin' concern. If you don't live on the west coast, The entire, ENTIRE, (including Washington and Oregon) west coast, apparently now looks like this.

o___O No, that's not a screenshot from an apocalypse movie. Though it's eerily reminiscent of one.
At least everyone is making light of the situation as much as they can. <x}
^_^ "Just another lovely day in the 4th circle of Hell."

Yeah, I mean I get it, masks can be a bit of a hassle, but it's much better than catching a deadly virus.

I wear them no problem if I have to go out. :x

the mask keeps going over my eyes.

which is a pain in the ass.

so much this.

Frustrated because one of my peelies (nail polish, using a peel off base coat for easier removal) popped off at my first job so now I have to make it through 5 hours at my second job trying not to absolutely destroy my nail until I can get home to repolish them all. (My nails tend to not break off as badly if I keep them polished. XP)

I mean, I was gonna redo them tonight anyway, so it's fine, I just have to try to be more cautious of my "naked" nail now so I don't accidentally bump it into anything and break it. Also must resist the urge to just peel of the others now...

I get paranoid if it starts to slip off my nose a bit. :c So I keep making sure it's covering my nose.

People! If the air isn't going through the mask, IT'S NOT WORKING!

Aaaaaaaaaargh. >_<

I got a new mask today!!

i ordered fabric for more masks the other day XD

What does your mask look like, Ava?

And what fabrics, trystan?

I managed to finish a couple more masks, but not sure how well the sewing machine will hold up. Getting it looked at would probably be more expensive than what the machine is worth. And I was saving the better fabrics for after I've had more practice.

one of the fabrics looks like the green number streams from the Matrix, and the other looks like a computer circuit board. they go nicely with my fabrics that i already have - one with shelves of books, and the other with retro items, like a rotary phone, phonograph, old typewriter... XD

i hand sew my masks, because i can't play on the computer and watch the tv if i'm sitting at my sewing machine XD

I got more elastic to make masks. But didn't have time to get fabric sadly. :C

i'm just about done a character from Fortnite for my nephew for his birthday! :)

and then... more masks and work on my blanket. :)

sounds fun trys ^^

it is, MonBon. :D

I had an encounter with a mythical Karen today, which refused to wear a mask in our store. B[

It claimed it had a health condition. Which of course is Karen for, "I don't wanna wear a mask because I don't believe in masks, or keeping others safe, not even myself."

I called my manager as per it's request. A Karen in line, one with more dim colors and manners on display, proceeded to get into a Offended Bout with the other Karen. They exchanged heated words and both verbally tried to assert their dominance, the first Karen believing she had every reason to blow air in their direction and photograph them to post online about how beastly a Karen was picking on her to victimize herself and gain sympathy from it's complaint.

My managers, (both of them) came to my rescue and proceeded to deal with the issue in a professional manner, getting the Karen what it needed and getting it out of the store as quick as possible, letting it skip the line, further affirming it of it's filthy self-assumed privilege.

I went to hide behind register 5 where we keep the overstock of candy.
/=~=\;;;

...WHAT a workday! 8}

yikes, i'm sorry you had to deal with TWO Wild Karens, Merskelly!

;U; Luckily I didn't have to. I just happened to witness an encounter. It was like watching two wolves begin to fight and growl and snap. Except wolves are like, actually beautiful. xD
I just sorta got outta there as soon as I could.
