The eclipse was a Super Harvest Blood Moon. The last one was in 1982, and the next is in 2033. :3
The character I'm dressed as today is one of my OCs, whose race is one I came up with the initial idea for back in 5th and 6th grade. I'd gotten heavily into reading
Animorphs books, and wanted a critter that'd fit in that setting... at one point, I even had a mask I'd made of one of the characters I created.
Fast forward about ten years, and I needed a race for an RP I was going to participate in, so I dug up the stuff I'd written down (there wasn't much, sadly). I gave 'em a new name,
and new racial qualities, and started fleshing them out. The RP fell through, but I liked the critters, so I adapted them to when Tam and I write. My av is one of the "polar" critters in her human form.
I use She/Her and They/Them pronouns.
