For the first time in a long time I went to the movies in forever and then to Target. At Target I see some Godiva bars on discount yellow tags and I was ecstatic until I read 70% Cacao, Dark, Salted Caramel and was deflated.

Anyway that's how I felt about seeing The Green Knight. What you thought this was about chocolate?

No see since the pandemic I've been back on my perennial King Arthur kick. I've for a long time since I was a young preteen thought, someday I too will write my own King Arthur epic and it'll be gay, magical, gangster and culty too, but for now I'll make up my own stories for practice and then with every story I got attached too, it got too involved and convoluted to the point that when it came down to actually writing a novel, I threw it all away and made a space opera I only planned in two weeks and wrote in a month. Anyway...so now I've been writing this very gay, magical, gangster and culty take on Final Fantasy XV with my boyfriend and just fell in love with Somnus Lucis Caelum who nobody has any insight about him than to make him the Mordred to Ardyn's Arthur, which is a strange flex, but okay, I thought about what if I wrote a Dark Age prequel about Ardyn and Somnus, but Ardyn becomes king and Somnus his shogun and they play games of seduction and power because I'm twisted like that. Anyway...I was like I'm never going to write this and I have to keep making up characters based on FFXV characters and King Arthur tropes because there's not a lot of stories that take place during the Dark Ages, it's always some Roman Empire story, or High Middle Ages and FFXV gave no room for either society to happen after the fall of Solheim and the rise of King Somnus...so we left with Dark Ages, y'all, the King Arthur comparisons are obvious, but Ardyn is no Arthur and Somnus is no Mordred, Aera is only Guenevere if you make up an affair with Somnus, Gilgamesh is no Bedwyr/Bedivere, but uh...they both amputees and the oldest companions to their respective kings so...I guess. Anyway making an ancestor of Cor Leonis and deciding well he's Owain/Yvain, or am Ignis type as idk Sir Cai/Kay I guess, they both cook, but Cai's more like Seifer Almasy than any FF character... Anyway I'm losing people.

My plan was to just scrap the FFXV prequel, leave my Somnus ideas into Overtime (a gangster and gods story) and just plan an actual King Arthur adaptation. I'd have King Arthur the treasure hunter, leader of a warband turned founder of Camelot who fights giants, giant cats and dogheads, but also fights King Claudas of the Franks and King Aelle of the Saxons and Cerdic a Briton who puts in his lot with the Saxons, etc. It'd been a a glorified turf war, meanwhile Arthur's gotta make alliances with King Pelles, The Fisher King and his strange cult he's founded because, why yes I find the ends justifies the means prophecy of the Holy Grail Quest very culty because Christianity then does not resemble it now. Meanwhile you got the secondary plots of Mordred, Gawain, Lancelot, Percival, Tristam and other's going on because they matter and too many modern King Arthur stories sideline the knights.

So many have always sidelined Mordred as a final boss eldritch abomination in mortal flesh conceived of sin and give him no personality, or complex motives, or even just a relationship with Arthur. I also have noticed the general sidelining of Lancelot, or give him a chad villain upgrade if you must include him at all, and the villainizing of Gawain to the point that you don't even have to have Mordred, or Agravain as a catalyst shit stirrer in court, just slap Gawain's name on Liam Neeson in a top knot and you're good. Mordred can just be a child offscreen until last act...fuck that, while Morgan Le Fay can either be a villainess plotting her cabal through men, or a well-intentioned, ineffectual idiot. Fuck that.

Now Hollywood just be doing King Arthur first acts that suck ass, only for said director to get rewarded failing upwards by giving this same jerk the Aladdin remake. The tonally shitty, crammed in blockbuster mess of a cliche heroe's journey that sucks.

With that background I was excited for The Green Knight. I read an illustrative version as a kid, I read Tolkien's translation as a teenager, I read Simon Armitage's superior, but with liberties taken translation. I was prepped to go knowing that indie, or not they were going to make changes to weave the disjointed poem together. I'm excited that because this movie exists Project Guternberg's finally thrown Jessie Weston's prose rendition up on their website. I'll be reading that at some point when this blows over.

The movie adaptation makes a lot of...choices, many I wouldn't love, but would forgive had their been a payoff. There was none.

The journey was fine, the cinematography was a breath of fresh air after crappy slo mo, glossy action scenes ruined another. Guys, I don't think I want to see a Zack Snyder Excalibur, it'll marginally be better than Guy Ritchie, but that ain't saying anything. Leave Excalibur to the post-Star Wars 80s where it is impeccable for it's time. I liked Green Knight's breathable pacing, it's color palette's in the forests and mountains made up for the muddy grey of every Ridley Scott send up in the castles and villages in every other Dark Ages/Medieval story in the last I don’t know since the shitty 00′s. For all the dark tones when there was blues, greens, yellows or reds, they were vibrant in this movie to contrast the gloom of Britain. The soundtrack was good. This isn't all what makes a movie, but it enhances it so let's get to the story and what I did and didn't like.

Things I Liked: Gawain is still a novice in his career The Costume Dressing Everyone pronounces Gawain's name different. I pronounce it like Gwayne, or Guh Wayne, but here you got Gowen (like Owen), Gowan (like Rowan), or even Garlon who I'm pretty sure is the Fisher King's heir in some versions of that Arthurian story, so uh... The reference to Arthur slaying 960 men with his bare hands (Nennius for the win!) The Waste Land that is implied to be a site of a battle (an important aspect of the Arthurian landscape) The Fox companion No long grisly, drawn out hunting scenes. The Fox lives! No misogynist speeches

Things I'm Mixed: This being a dream, is the magic real? Are the giants? Is the Green Knight a figment of Gawain's imagination from a spell Morgan casted in him to hallucinate? Is Lord and Lady also figments? It's...a way to interpret the poem, but lazy and I don't see why it's got to all fantasy, or all dream...this movie makes it too vague you're stuck picking one camp than to accept it's a fantasy with dream and hallucinatory sequences.

Things I'm Meh: Morgan Le Fay as Gawain's mom. Look I fucking hate Morgause as a character and these two get merged and steal each other's aspects so much at this point the difference is who did they marry, King Urien or King Lot? Both are attributed to being Mordred's mom, Mordred is Gawain's brother...both practice magic depending on certain incarnations, both love and hate Arthur their brother and are in conflict with him. Saint Winifred. I actually liked this sequence, but I don't appreciate her as the tacked on wife in the later dream sequence as like...a contrast between the wife you should marry than the whore next door you don't respect anyway? I don't even know what lesson I'm supposed to get out of the damn dream sequence, or any of it? That Gawain should've married his girlfriend and then he'd be a just ruler? That he shouldn't be king? That he'd never have to make the same heartless, impartial choices? I don't know, he seemed like a king doing king shit because guess what? It never gets easier. Wars will be waged. The world didn't become better because he married the right woman, respected her and lived in obscurity. The world didn't become better because he made her his queen. We certainly don't know the world would be better Gawain had his head chopped off and dead XP They never reveal the Lord and the Green Knight as one and the same because of this shit.

Things I Hated: Arthur withdraws from the challenge because he's old. In poem he takes it on and Gawain takes it so he don't have to and he finds himself more disposable than the king. Gawain only takes the challenge because of arrogance. Arthur and Gawain had no prior personal relationship. I'd not have hated this so much if it wasn't compounded by it cancelling out the first two things. Gawain is portrayed as having no respect for his woman, or any woman, maybe his mother? He has to be pushed by Winifred to regain her head. Gawain is portrayed as arrogant, covetous and ready to pass the buck, or the bare minimum than have any honor or decency. It didn't matter the kid in the wasteland was shithead bandit, the way Gawain acted towards him, when he gets robbed, it almost feels like he deserved it and Gawain doesn't learn a damn lesson. I'll admit him taking the sword to cut his ropes and cutting his hands was a neat sequence, it shows him go from stupid, to almost clever and having will to survive...you know traits he had in the poem, but he stops showing these traits or growing. Basically Gawain has to be dragged kicking and screaming to help people and shows no fortitude when facing temptation, or when showing respect towards others, it's exhausting. You don't make this kind of journey story without character growth. Why are you skipping this? Also is it just me, or is this like when you take Frank Miller Batman and transport him onto a Bill Finger story? This is at best Thomas Malory Gawain (and this is charitable) transported on the earlier Pearl Poet's story. Stop it. It's not tonally correct and goes at odds with the story and the set up characterization you'd need to tell it. Speaking of which, you know how I get through the oof... of Liam Neeson Gawain in Excalibur? By pretending he Agravain instead. Here...I don't even think Gawain could pass as Mordred in spite of his covetous nature, lust and entitlement. Why? because I don't think even Mordred is this dumb to warrant this hubris. Essel being invented as a tacked on love interest just to be shit on utterly and for what? I don't think I have much commentary here as there is no Essel I'm aware of to compare, or stack up. I just notice this trope of like...usually if you include a sex worker in Hollywood she often has a heart of gold, she often has her own sense of values that goes at odds with society, but is more true and less hypocritical than a privileged lady’s. I thought that's what they would've done with the added trope of back at home sweetheart to contrast and pit her against the despicable femme fatale of Lady Bertilak and her adultery and her ladyship...and I'm glad they didn't...but you did nothing with Essel than to shit on her for existing when you made her exist, you know. Lady Bertilak being portrayed as the seductress devil incarnate. Look I know adultery is a touchy taboo, but uh her and Gawain hit it off in the poem, dammit! Her values and his values come to clash, but here it's played off as Gawain is stupid and covetous and Lady Bertilak wants to prove something because...? If my brother's theory that she's a figment of Morgan Le Fay's magic, then I'll take this as a lesson of Gawain is impulsive and covetous and his mom knows it, but he don't want to fuck his mom, but he wants her power, and Morgan wants to teach him a lesson... I guess. Hey we don't have misogynist speeches in this movie, but we'll make sure to have the movie drip with it with no point, or commentary. Pass. Lord guilting, extracting and initiating the same sex kiss and only once. Poem automatically better that Gawain don't have to keep being reminded to keep his part of the bargain and he does it willingly more than once. What he doesn't do is give up his belt...gods how did we get more homophobic as a society that the homoeroticism here is worse? Catholics of the middle ages officially had no issue doing same sex, passionate kissing until it lead to sex. The Ending: The gods damn ending. In the movie as is, Gawain waits to uphold his end of the bargain and get his head chopped off. He imagines, even though we don't get any fuzzy or distortion to indicate this is a dream, but I already knew this was coming, he runs away and comes home, is regarded a hero, he sees his lady, takes her from behind and if you saw Brokeback Mountain (I didn't, but DJ has) you know this is a sign of disrespect to women. He gets her knocked up, pays her off for the kid she wants to keep, he is crowned king, marries the ghostly saint lady he helped retrieve her head earlier from a lake in the movie (this right here is the damn tip off). There's no more dialogue by this point and everything is montaging, so you know by now it's a dream, though nothing is out of focus. He rules as a heartless king, his whore son dies from war he waged, he has a daughter, his wife dies. Gawain then takes off the belt that would've saved his life and his head falls off. This would've been the one good twist, except... In this sequence of events he never had his head cut off so uh... now we back in present day. He decides not to bitch out, Green Knight in a sexy way is like "now off with your head," movie cuts to credits with no resolve...uh what the fuck? What the fuck? This is not good. You wasted the one twist in your dream when idk, you could've...

How I'd fix it: No dream sequence at all. No Incident At Owl Creek twist. Gawain comes home a hero and survivor of this game and ordeal. He wears this belt of shame. He becomes a well-renowned knight, but he bears a shame. One day he goes to take off his belt and his head falls off because he cheated to get this belt and to survive this encounter. There. Done. Improved your high concept movie that couldn't play any of the lessons straight from the damn poem without making everyone an asshole for no reason! Ugh! But nope you had to end it on we don’t know if Gawain lives or dies...because...it's dream magic made from his momma's witchcraft...?

Last Thoughts So then post-credits scene because Marvel because Pirates Of The Caribbean existed. A white girl who looks nothing like Gawain's daughter we see who didn’t pay off, or any child I can remember through this whole movie picks up King Arthur's crown that dream Gawain inherited and puts it on her head. Who is this girl? Are we gonna have an indie equivalent of of the Marvel Movie Universe/Universal Horror Monsters thing with ancient British legends? We gonna get a Life Of Saint Patrick next that crosses over? I don't know. What is this?

Clowns: Causing Laughter and Terror Through the Ages

Photo: Wikipedia

Traditionally viewed as a benevolent figure, the clown has instilled both joy and fear in audiences for ages.The appearance of the clown, with it's exaggerated features and bizarre, colorful costumes could be viewed as comical or horrifying, depending of course on the eye of the beholder. There's even a term for an extreme fear or phobia of clowns, coulrophobia.

The image of the “killer” or “creepy” clown has entered public consciousness, especially in the form of Pennywise from horror writer Stephen King's "It." Demonic child-killer Pennywise has gone on to frighten audiences in two film versions of King's novel, a 1990 made for TV movie and on the big screen in 2017.

A strange phenomenon began in the United States in South Carolina around mid-August 2016. Police were receiving reports and sightings of people dressed as clowns engaging in a variety of bizarre and even criminal behaviors: attempting to lure children with candy, chasing people with weapons or threatening students and faculty of various schools and universities throughout the country.

There were reports of encounters with "creepy clowns" in 20 different states, from mid-August 2016 to October 2016. Some of the reports are harmless and suspected to be hoaxes or pranks. One incident, in Green Bay, Wisconsin, was part of a publicity stunt to promote a horror movie.

The rash of bizarre sightings began with reports from an apartment complex in Greenville, South Carolina. Children reported that a group of clowns were hanging around the complex, trying to talk to them. The children described the clowns as carrying "flashing green laser lights" and said that the clowns lived in a dilapidated house in a secluded, wooded area by a small lake. When police investigated, they found an area matching the description but there was no evidence or a trace of any clowns living there.

A South Carolina woman also reported that a clown had been standing in her backyard, but ran away when she tried to take a picture. Children also reported that a clown was trying to lure them into the woods with money and candy.

Attacks and sightings were reported across the United States, many of which were reported around schools and universities. Some teenagers were arrested for creating social media accounts as clowns threatening to harm students and faculty at schools and universities.

The attacks did not stop in America, but also began to be reported Canada, the United Kingdom and many other countries.

Clowns are traditionally thought of as positive figures that are supposed to make us laugh. But throughout history, the clown was not always a benevolent figure.

Clowns appear in history dating back to as early as 2500 BCE., entertaining royalty from Ancient Egypt to Ancient Rome to Medieval Europe. Originally, clowns were seen as a reflection of society's more hedonistic side, of that part of humanity that over-indulges in food, drink, sex and "manic behavior."

Clowns were employed at circuses during the mid-19th century as comic relief from the death-defying stunts of trapeze artists and other performers.

Bozo, portrayed by many actors over the years, was a beloved character who entertained children. Photo: Chicago Reader

The figure of the clown still had a dark side.

French literary critic, Edmond de Garcourt, is quoted as saying, in 1876, that, "The clown's art is now rather terrifying and full of anxiety and apprehension, their suicidal feats, their monstrous gesticulations and frenzied mimicry - reminds one of a courtyard of a lunatic asylum."

Pagliacci (Clowns), an Italian opera written during the late 19th century, tells the story of a man who kills his domineering wife on stage during a performance.

Clowns gained a more benevolent reputation on American TV during the 1960's with the popular character "Bozo" and when the McDonald's fast food franchise introduced its non-iconic character Ronald McDonald in 1963.

The figure of the "Killer Clown," emerged after the arrest and conviction of serial killer John Wayne Gacy, who worked entering children as “Pogo the Clown” at birthday parties. Gacy was convicted of killing 33 young men in Chicago, Illinois during the 1970's. He is quoted as telling investigators that "...clowns can get away with murder." Some of the paintings he did in prison were self portraits of him as Pogo.

Besides Pennywise, other clown-like images have appeared in horror movies. "Poltergeist" (1982) features a scene in which a clown doll drags a young boy under his bed. A clown-faced puppet appears in the "Saw" franchise. Batman's nemesis, the unrepentant anarchist, the Joker, has been portrayed in many films over the years. Rob Zombie's "House of 1,000 Corpses," "The Devil's Rejects," and "3 from Hell," feature homicidal clown Captain Spaulding.

From Ancient Egypt to modern film, whether frightening or benevolent, the image of the clown has survived throughout the ages and will last many more to come.

alright i’m a day late but in my defense i’ve been like a week behind for the entire month. also we should ignore the piece of tape on the top.

i reblogged the prompt list i used a while ago but i’m gonna explain my doodles the way i would’ve done if i was on time and posted daily anyway under the cut

1 - witch - alright with my calendar thing i saw day 8 was fire and was immediately like yes burn the witch

2 - fantasy - this was difficult the word is so open ended i just drew a floating island thing

3 - weapon - peace was never an option

4 - dessert - the first day i messed up beyond repair and covered it with a sticky note. the cake is a lie.

5 - werewolf - there’s a medieval story about a werewolf called Bisclavret and I read it recently and so that’s why that’s like that. Medieval ends up being a theme unintentionally.

6 - spirits - ghost duet/ghost choir/ghost + guest hypes me up for spooky szn i couldn’t not draw it

7 - dinosaur - so i drew just like a generic dinosaur and after day nine I added some other stuff

8 - fire - ah yes when men were like “women can’t do that better than us; she must be a witch!”

9 - space - generic spaceman so yeah

10 - insect - i also messed up here drawing a butterfly but it’s fine I think the fly on Mike Pence’s head telling y’all to vote is a great replacement

11 - slimy - self explanatory

12 - royalty - so obviously Freddie Mercury

13 - feather - I also wanted to connect this to another day and ended up choosing 20 instead of 14 so it’s a bird

14 - carnivore - i don’t even know what animal i drew i know it’s a cat

15 - hero - batman but not the version you’re thinking of

16 - villain - Sweet Tooth from Holy Musical B@man and it makes me wish I used more than red and black so I could convey how colorful and wild Sweet Tooth is but it’s chill

17 - disease - plague doctor for the medieval theme

18 - cyclops - i was actually watching Nightmare Time while I was drawing this one and during the description of Blinky I was like this is perfect for this

19 - grass - did you know that bamboo is a type of grass

20 - creature - Just trying to draw a quick and general creature type thing but I’m apparently incapable of not thinking of little shop of horrors all the time. tried to offset that by adding tentacles... it’s alright

21 - undead - the corpse bride is my favorite halloween movie so this is supposed to be the end scene

22 - time machine - drawing a Delorean was too obvious for me and instead tried to think of any other piece of media with time travel and my brain went straight past Doctor Who and straight to Phineas and Ferb

23 - glutton - So Dante’s 3rd circle of hell is gluttony and it’s guarded by Cerebus, so that’s cool

24 - knight - another classic medieval tale, of a loyal and unwavering knight, who even when his limbs were severed insisted it was nothing but a “flesh wound”

25 - reaper - generic grim reaper. missed the opportunity to draw the grim reaper from the Grimm Adventures of Billy and Mandy but it’s fine.

26 - pet - okay so the google doodle cat is the cutest thing and the game is so fun i would recommend

27 - hunter - hunter in my mind went to archer which went to Merida but this is very obviously not her because she’s not really a hunter (I don’t think). Also more medieval borders just for fun

28 - shadow - drawing the shadow man and his shadow would’ve been clever but to be honest while doing the calendar thing saves me time it means there’s not a lot of space so I just drew Dr. Facilier because I’m not great with silhouettes

29 - pirate - generic pirate with a hook and everything

30 - costume - in girl world, halloween is the one day a year when a girl can dress up like a total slut and no other girls can say anything else about it. the hardcore girls just wear lingerie and some form of animal ears...i’m a mouse, duh

31 - i got lazy and it was the last one i drew it’s a pumpkin

if you bothered to read this far, happy halloween!

except i’m posting this at 1 am november first so i guess feliz dia de los muertos

Costumes

Spooktober day 23: Costumes

The second the automatic doors slid open to admit them into the store, Tai took off with a childish squeal of delight, immediately disappearing within what seemed to be the endless racks filled with Halloween costumes.

Laughing at her excitable son, Kagome grabbed a cart and followed after him at a more leisurely pace as Izayoi trailed behind, her enthusiasm less than that of her brother’s. Unsurprisingly the Halloween store that popped up every year around this time was hopping with activity, children, teens, and adults alike roaming about looking at decorations, costumes, and all sorts of fun, spooky things to really get into the Halloween spirit.

Unfortunately, Izayoi’s spirit was nowhere to be found that day as she silently followed her mother and brother throughout the store. Or more like she followed her mom as she followed Tai; the five-year-old was having the time of his life trying on masks, exclaiming over every single cool costume he found, and announcing he found what he wanted to be but then changing his mind a second later as something else grabbed his attention.

Pausing next to a rack that held an assortment of brightly colored masks and accessories, Izayoi sighed as she plucked a headband with black cat ears attached to them. Her own ears twitched as she studied the faux appendages with an air of boredom before heaving another sigh and putting them back.

It wasn’t fair. She would have thought by that now that she’d at least have some idea of what she wanted to be, but because she had no idea what Raiden was going to be, Izayoi in turn didn’t know what to base her own costume on. After Rin had slyly coordinated her costume to match with Kohaku’s – Sally to his Jack – the young hanyou had gotten the idea to find out what her crush’s was going to be so she could sneakily do the same.

Thing was, though, either Raiden was being very tight lipped about it at school, or he simply wasn’t going to dress up for Halloween, because Izayoi hadn’t heard a single thing about it despite the month already being half over. And it wasn’t like she could just outright ask him.

Oh, yeah, she thought sarcastically, rolling her eyes. That’d go real well. ‘Hi Raiden! So I was just wondering, what’re you gonna be for Halloween this year so I can base my costume on yours and then I can pretend that it’s a complete coincidence that we match, oh wow, isn’t that just so convenient, EL OH EL.’

Izayoi snorted at her own thoughts and scowled at the innocent fake ears she’d put back as if they’d personally offended her somehow.

Ugh. It wasn’t fair.

“Hey, sweetie,” her mother’s voice drifted over to her and Izayoi turned her head to find her wandering over with a cart full of decorations and some kind of weird spider prop. Tai was still zooming between the racks, giggling and trying on every mask he could get his grubby little hands on.

“Find anything you like?”

Izayoi grumbled something under her breath and wrinkled her nose, ears lowering slightly on her head as she pouted and averted her gaze.

Kagome’s brows rose as an amused smile flirted with her lips. “Is that a no?”

Her daughter grunted and she reminded Kagome so much of her father it was a little frightening.

Humming in thought, Kagome surveyed the rack of masks and accessories and plucked off a standard black half-mask covered in glitter.

“Your brother wants to be Batman,” she remarked with a tiny grin and held the mask up to her own eyes. “How about Harley Quinn? I spotted a few different costumes back there if you wanna take a look.”

Izayoi sighed and took the mask her mother held out to her. “Maybe.”

Kagome frowned a little at the complete lack of interest in her daughter’s tone. “You okay there, sweetpea?”

When all the young half-demon did was sigh again, Kagome was about to ask what was wrong, a little concerned at her daughter’s behavior, but before she could open her mouth she heard her youngest child calling for her and it sounded like he was struggling with something. No doubt he managed to tangle himself up in another costume again so with a soft sigh, and one last worrying look toward her daughter, Kagome affectionately tweaked her ear, said to come get her if she found something, then retreated to go assist her son in whatever trouble he’d gotten himself into. Again.

Izayoi was still staring down at the boring black mask in her hand, ears low on her head and wondering if she should even bother anymore when suddenly a familiar scent teased her nose and an even more familiar voice rumbled in her ear.

“I don’t really think black is your color.”

Gasping, Izayoi spun around and stared into twin pools of laughing bluish-green.

“Raiden!” she said a little breathlessly, her face flushing as a shy smile flirted with the corners of her lips. “Hi! You, um, you scared me.” She laughed nervously and god did she sound like a complete dork.

“Sorry,” the young dog demon said with a mischievous grin, shrugging. “I figured those cute ears of yours would hear me coming.”

Izayoi made a strangled sound in her throat as her flush deepened and her amber eyes widened. He thought her ears were cute! It’s official she was going to die oh god she needed to talk to Rin RIGHT NOW.

Seeming oblivious to the reaction his words had caused, Raiden never lost his easy grin as his gaze dropped to the mask in her hand and deftly plucked it out of her grasp. His fingers brushed against hers and Izayoi felt a small spark of warmth that shot all the way to her toes as butterflies erupted in her belly.

“So, what’re you gonna be?” he casually asked, studying the half-mask briefly before turning his gaze to the rack behind her.

Willing her racing heart to calm and her face to stop blushing already, Izayoi cleared her throat and offered a shrug, half-turning to look at the rack as well.

“Oh, um, I don’t know yet,” she confessed, wrinkling her nose as she flicked a claw against the cheap plastic of a medieval plague doctor mask. “There’s just so many options, y’know?”

She laughed nervously again but when all Raiden did was hum distractedly Izayoi winced and mentally kicked herself. God, could she be any more of an awkward idiot?!

Before she could open her mouth again and either salvage her dignity by saying something incredibly smooth and cool or potentially make the situation ten times more awkward, Raiden suddenly grinned and reached behind her to exchange the half-mask for something else on the rack.

“Here,” he said and set something on her head, carefully arranging it so her ears weren’t compromised. “Now this suits you much better.”

Blinking as her face once again erupted into color, Izayoi could only stare in silence as Raiden dug out his phone and brought up the camera app before turning it around so she could get a look at herself.

“Whaddaya think?” he asked her, grinning proudly.

Izayoi gasped and lifted a hand to flutter her fingertips across the brown velvet of the steampunk top hat he’d set on her head. Complete with dark goggles attached to the front and a brown lacy ribbon wrapped around it, the young half-demon had to admit she loved the prop. The hat had little gold and silver gears sewn into the velvet on one side and the back had a trailing mesh tail that cascaded down her back. She was surprised at how well it looked with her silver hair and she had to admit, Raiden definitely had good taste.

“Wow,” she breathed, a delight smile spreading across her face as her amber eyes lit up. “This is...really cool. I like it!”

Proud, Raiden tipped her another grin and playfully tapped the rim of the hat.

“I have an idea,” he said, drawing her attention and Izayoi lifted her gaze as he put away his phone. “Your parents are having a Halloween party at the end of the month, right?”

Izayoi blinked and tilted her head. “Yeah...”

Raiden blinked. Wow, she was cute. Shaking his head, his confident grin reappeared as he said, “I don’t have any ideas for my own costume yet. Why don’t we coordinate and wear matching steampunk getups? We’d be the coolest couple there, hands down.”

Izayoi choked because he’d just called them a couple oh dear lord she was going to die. Or maybe she already died because was this really happening? Had she died and gone to heaven where all of her dreams were coming true right before her eyes?

Realizing she was standing here like an idiot while he was waiting for an answer, Izayoi nodded her head so fast it was a wonder the hat didn’t fly off her head.

“Y-yeah,” she squeaked, the smile on her face wide and probably a little creepy but she couldn’t help it. “That’s—that’s a great idea! Let’s do it!”

If she sounded a little too excited, Raiden didn’t notice, blue-green eyes lighting up in delight.

“Cool,” he said, infinitely pleased. “Alright, sounds good. Keep me updated then. You have my number, right?”

Izayoi nodded. She didn’t, but she’d force Rin to get it from Kohaku. Her birthday was coming up; maybe her parents would finally allow her to get a cellphone since she would officially be a teenager?

The dark-haired dog demon quirked another grin at her. “Good. Catch ya later, buttercup.”

Then with that, Raiden winked and twirled around to rejoin his friends who had, apparently, found the Star Wars costumes and were battling it out in the middle of the store with light sabers and one of them had the Darth Vader mask on.

With a dreamy look on her face, Izayoi watched him go, her smile soft and completely smitten. She didn’t even hear her mother approaching and was hardly aware of anything until the hat was suddenly taken off her head and she snapped out of her daze with a start.

Blinking and with a guilty flush, Izayoi looked up at her mother who was studying the hat in her hands with a secret smile on her lips. She glanced down at he daughter then toward the rowdy group of boys just over yonder, watching in amusement as one of them started chasing the others around with a terrifying looking spider decoration.

“Mom?” Izayoi said and Kagome turned her gaze toward her daughter, having a pretty good feeling she knew what she was going to say. The young half-demon’s flush deepened slightly and her amber gaze flittered to the group of boys causing a ruckus—or more accurately, Kagome noticed, one boy in particular.

“I...know what I wanna be now,” she admitted and Kagome recognized that soft smile on her face, the wondering tone in her voice reminding her of years ago when she herself had been completely smitten with one stubborn, foul-mouthed half-demon.

Face softening, Kagome smiled, genuinely happy for her daughter, and nodded as she carefully put the hat down in the cart filled with decorations and something else that was definitely not a Batman costume.

“Leave it to me, sweetpea” Kagome declared, already knowing exactly what to buy to make up her daughter’s costume. Steampunk, huh? She could work with that.

Izayoi smiled gratefully, glad to have such an amazing and understanding mom.

“Thanks, mom,” she whispered and received a brief ear rub in response. Feeling lighter than she had in days, Izayoi grinned, surveyed the contents of the cart—and her smile promptly faded to be replaced by a horrified look as she stared at something gross and bloody.

“I thought Tai wanted to be Batman,” Izayoi stated, blinking in wide-eyed horror. “That is definitely not Batman.”

Knowing exactly what she was talking about, Kagome sighed and it was the sound of a resigned parent. She wandered toward the aisles where she thought she’d seen various steampunk costumes and accessories, gesturing for her daughter to grab the cart and tug it after her.

“So did I,” Kagome murmured, flicking a glance at the child in question who was at the moment content to spin in circles wearing a Scream mask. Wrinkling her nose, she added, “The moment he saw it all ideas about being Gotham’s hero flew out the window and he begged me to get that...that monstrosity. I swear to god he becomes more and more like your father everyday. It’s terrifying.”

Izayoi shuddered. “Boys are weird.”

“Preach,” Kagome mumbled and reached to take down a brown leather waist cincher. Hmm...maybe this with an off the shoulder white blouse...

“Do you have any white stockings, Iz?” Kagome asked, reaching next for something brown that might be a skirt, but she wasn’t too sure. When her daughter failed to respond, Kagome looked over her shoulder and repeated, “Iz?”

Completely distracted, Izayoi was staring at a certain dark-haired dog demon that was laughing so hard at his friend he was doubled over and barely able to stand upright. The friend in question was wearing a princess costume a few sizes too small and was gallantly parading around in it, complete with a wig and tiara.

Kagome lifted a brow and drawled, “Boys are weird, huh?”

Unpredictably Izayoi flushed and her smile was gentle as she murmured, “Well...maybe not all boys.”

Well, @kate669, I saw your idea of many other drawing their Trolls OCs are RPG-style warriors, heroes, etc., and since I have two OCs, David Stanley and Clyde, I decided to give it a try.

And here you go. My OCs dressed up like medieval-like warriors, but I decided to put a lot of creativity and style into their suits.

Instead of having them as plain metal armor like Poppy's, I gave David different shades of metal colors, and a sword with a blue gem on the top of the handle.

For Clyde's, it’s similar, but I gave his suit darker colors, kinda like a dark knight (but still with a brave and courageous heart), along with some red colors, because I think red and black are cool together, and of course, I gave him a cape.

Now, you might be thinking, "Why is Clyde wearing a cape? Won’t that cause him to get stuck or killed?" Well, capes can risk getting someone in danger, but smart superheroes like Batman are careful (most of the time) to not get their capes caught on anything, and even if it did, Clyde always had David with him, 'Cause they are best buds!
