when i think of halloween, usually the kind of spooks i think of have some sort of supernatural or science-fiction twist to them, so i have to ask: when did pirates become associated with the holiday? i know that there's supernatural things in pirate stories, but why the regular old swashbuckler?Hmm...

well briraka, I'm no longer surprised

because now people use halloween as an excuse for cosplaying whatever they fucking want when the usual is spooks and monsters only, final destination

but hey, back in the old days the treats were harvest goods, not industrialized junk food

Anyway I think halloween over the past few decades has become more about dressing up as whatever you want regardless of the Fear Factor

And pirates are just an easy costume unless you want to be the actual pirate captain

a man with ragged pants, no shirt, and an eyepatch is roaming the streets on halloween night. a stranger walks up to him and says, "hey dude, nice pirate costume!"

and then the man replies, "wtf no, i'm homeless."

when i go to the Minus World Discord Halloween Party im going to dress up as myself and all the pussy ass posters who don't know the True Meaning of halloween are gonna piss their pants and leave the chat because they can't handle an actual Spooky. and besides, Halloween is the only day of the year where I can cast spells without people throwing strange looks at me. It reminds me of that one time I cursed one of my teachers at university for saying some dumb shit about trannies and then he died lmao.

everyone is born with the ability to use it. i think that why ppl die coz babies jus use it all the time without noticing. but anyway i wudnt recomennd doing it without the proprr precautions because u only really jus killing urself / tying yourself to mortality. i had to pay a hefty price to the frog king to take out my adversary and it p much wasnt worth the effort. but if u rly want to re-learn how to use the death curse then i would advise talking to a tree spirit and asking them about the ritual of severing people's celestial umbilical cords

I love the "so easy a baby can do it, and they do, all the time." really grim to think about
