I'm going as King Harold Godwinson. Am I a moron? Does ANYONE know who that is?

The last true Anglo-Saxon king, who was famously killed doing battle against William The Conqueror. He's the guy on the Bayeux Tapestry with the arrow in his eye (this is now disputed)... but I feel like people know him as the arrow in the eye guy.

Karl Marx, because I took my neighbors candy and gave it to kids after all my candy ran out.

(My neighbor poured it into my bowl so I could help him distribute it. Because I'm so big and scary I compelled him to give it to me willingly)

Went as Gadget from the Rescue Rangers. First Halloween after starting transition and had to be something super cute ๐Ÿ’œ plus I love purple and engineer/mad scientist characters. Probably going as Entrapta next year

I went as low effort succubus (assorted goth stuff plus a horned crown, just things i had in my wardrobe already, i didn't even bother with particularly elaborate makeup).

ngl walking down the street and seeing my shadow with the horns on felt fucking powerful, and i did get a lot of compliments for them as well. Didn't poke anybody's eyes out on accident, either.

I ended up handing out candy in a friend's parent's house. People don't trick or treat at apartments and it makes me so sad. But it was nice to hand out candy to kids this year, especially because I'm young enough to know just how to fuck with them lol

Next year I want to be prepared and actually do something. I haven't done a costume for Halloween in so long...

Didn't get to haloween this year and it kinda sucked. All I normally do is dress up like the singer from Portal and walk around handing kids candy with my big scary claw gloves out of an old burlap sack. My neighborhood has a pretty solid haloween scene and I had a lot of fun last year. This year I had some sick days I'm October and couldn't really afford it.

Any UK/France/Ireland school goers will have had 1066 drilled into their skulls for about a year.

[-] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 2 points 6 hours ago

that's what I thought but so far everyone has drawn blanks

[-] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 3 points 3 hours ago

well did you have an arrow sticking out of your eye

[-] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 1 points 10 minutes ago* (last edited 10 minutes ago)

I'd say 'guess who I am', and then I'd smack the arrow I had attached to my hand into my eye and go aggghh

[-] peeonyou@hexbear.net 3 points 11 hours ago
