Halloween is easily one of my favorite holidays and the costuming is no small aspect of that to me.

I know for some, costuming is a lot of fun and so a costume is chosen very carefully, and for others costuming is an obligation and not much thought is put into it. But even if you don't care much about the costume, sometimes a lot of thought is still put into make the costume as convenient as possible.

So I would like to ask what you are going as for Halloween this year, and your reasons for it

It really does feel like costumes are something most people age out of. I often wonder if people really grow out of it or if it's exhaustion from work/ the general state of the world...

As a not-so-young person, I'd love to get into a costume... if only I didn't have to worry all the time about, and prioritize, basic existential things like health, food, shelter... or see anything other than black for the mid term, with a chance of surprise backstabbings in the short term... until the benzos kick in, and I stop caring about everything, costumes included 😐
