Okay, so like, back when there were less of you, I meant to post this and now its 9 days before the day, and I have become frantic but I need to figure this out before I drag Carol with me to go shopping.

And also, since there's more of you, maybe I'll get some ideas! Maybe some future people can also help by conveniently remembering something for your past about it!

I need Halloween costume ideas. For me, they're usually a great way to cosplay at school, and my go-tos are usually Captain Marvel and Black Widow, of course. One time I also did a female genderbent version of Iron Man and was all psyched to wear it until Zoe Zimmer did one too and it looked way cuter on her so in a fit of rage, I didn't wear it. (Disclaimer: Zoe and I are cool now, she helped me out a whole lot recently.)

Now I know characters are sometimes the way to go but we also live in a world where those same characters you thought were fictional are actually here or you just met your real life hero. So, what's something else you'd go for without making it awkward for anyone?

Filter: Peter Parker

If you became a baby or an old guy, I'm going to be mad and send noor light right through your window.

	How about a Zoe Zimmer costume, then? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	That's a great idea! But... it would probably make the impact I need it to make if she was here too. :( (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No idea, I was just thinking it'd be a way to both honor and remember a friend, without worrying about pretending to be someone here you might offend. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kamala 2022-10-25 01:45 am UTC (link)
	That's a fair point though. Thanks for helping! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sure. Good luck in your hunt. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Hm. I don't know any of the superheros from your world except the ones that are here, really. Is that the only kind of costume you'll do? A person like that? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	kamala 2022-10-24 02:06 am UTC (link)
	In my world, yeah! Doesn't have to be someone who is around, sometimes some people dress like historical figures. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	biggerbaang 2022-10-24 02:15 am UTC (link)
	Oh! Uh, yeah I don't know your historical people either really. I was just going to suggest a dragon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kamala 2022-10-24 02:34 am UTC (link)
	Oooh I can do a dragon! OR a DRAGONBORN! From D&D. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	biggerbaang 2022-10-24 02:38 am UTC (link)
	That's like a dragon PERSON right? That would be very cool! I don't know who much would be involved in making scales and wings and that sort of stuff, but between magic and makeup it feels very doable! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yes! They walk upright like humans do too, but they just tend to lack wings or tail. They COULD have either one though but usually don't. Their scale color also matches their ancestry. Like blue dragons usually use electricity, green are poison, etc.

It wooould probably have to be super involved though and takes weeks of preparation so maybe not the right choice. But you should really see what people do with it.

Actually, I've seen people dress like you too and they do such an amazing job!

	Oooo that could be really great if you wanted to add effects with your own powers? Just make your OWN dragonborn to match them! But yeah I guess it probably would take a while to get all the materials together and not have it looked rushed. Like me? Oh! I forget people know about our world. I hope it's just for fun ~~and not like the Air Acolyt~~! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kamala 2022-10-24 03:37 am UTC (link)
	You mean like using my light powers?? That’s a thought! I never really used them for anything other than defense and making little steps through the air. Oh yeah, all in appreciation too. For you and your group who have been heroes for people growing up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Which means you could basically fly right? Maybe wings wouldn't be such a bad idea!

That's really nice to hear. I'll admit, when I met a fan club at home, I let my ego get in the way for it bit. It was just so nice to be appreciated and to know the air nation wasn't forgotten? But then I realized it was too much. It wasn't respectful. The acolytes were really good about understanding where I was coming from though.

	Yeah but I have to jump on the pieces like steps. I'm glad you have people who totally understand! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	makeastand 2022-10-23 06:37 pm UTC (link)
	Move it to a totally different era and make it harder to figure out who your influence was. You get your fix without making it awkward. Those were always cool to me at NYCC. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	kamala 2022-10-24 02:10 am UTC (link)
	You mean like a Steampunk Captain America?? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	makeastand 2022-10-24 04:38 am UTC (link)
	Actually, yeah, exactly like that. I could make you a steampunk shield if you wanted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kamala 2022-10-25 01:44 am UTC (link)
	That would be AMAZING. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	risetomylevel 2022-10-25 03:06 am UTC (link)
	All I know is when people seem stuck they tend to add steampunk and call it a day. And it works for some. So could be an option. (Reply to this)

	So are we talking like, a destructive light beam that'll lay waste to my bedroom, or a gentle nightlight to help me drift off to sleep? (Reply to this)
