heh, thanks guys. Now I need to start working on next year's improvements
Cuz apparently I gotta break this down for you dense motherfuckers- I'm trans feminine nonbinary. My pronouns are they/them.

Prak, that's awesome. I have to say that I'm nowhere near as dedicated as you guys. Plus Halloween is right around papers-due time here at Tech, so no time for costumes even if I were skilled enough.
Usually, I just make a really corny tinfoil hat, get myself a picket sign to the tune of "THEY'RE COMING" or "BEWARE MIND CONTROL", then run around screaming about aliens, the MiB, MK-ULTRA, and CIA mind control rays. It's all in the acting.

I bleached my own hair in preparation for festivities tomorrow (today technically).
First, it's harder than I thought (I missed a couple of small spots and had to hit the hair right over my ears a second time), and the bleach didn't turn me blonde so much as it turned me, well, red. I didn't realize that...
Also, the nerf gun I got as a prop is nonfunctional. Although it's only a costume prop, I'd really like to have a working nerf gun in my house for shits and giggles (and it's a hell of a way to deter the cat from getting into things, I can tell you that!)
Tomorrow, I get a haircut and exchange the nerf gun...

In this moment, I am Ur-phoric. Not because of any phony god’s blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my int score.
yeah, bleaching/dying dark hair can be a pain. hitting it with some spray or comb in colour may help.
edit: oh yeah, went to a costume contest at flgs yesterday, won first place. Feels good, man. First time in years there (even not counting the decade or so since I last participated)

It's not uncommon, Count. I've seen it happen. I'd have to deal with it myself, if I ever tried to bleach my hair.
There's some bleaching methods where you can do it two or three times to get the red/orange out.

I was getting a haircut one time and saw a guy getting his hair bleached after he lost a bet.
The first time around turned it a really, really vivid plastic-pumpkin orange. It took another treatment to get it more yellow than red.

He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

Zak S, Zak Smith, Dndwithpornstars, Zak Sabbath. He is a terrible person and a hack at writing and art. His cultural contributions are less than Justin Bieber's, and he's a shitmuffin. Go go gadget Googlebomb!

I knew someone who wanted to dye his hair bright blue. He did it himself, but only got a mallard green instead. I told him it was the wrong month for St. Patrick's day.
I had to dye my beard black for a Mikado performance. My mother's hairdresser (who was a genius with color) practically gave up on what to suggest to this born red haired kid, so I wound up using black eyelash makeup on the beard instead.

I didn't get any pictures, but I did go to jury duty dressed as Clark Kent.
That is, dress shirt and pants, sort of business casual, with a Superman T-shirt under the button-up shirt. Not that I showed anyone. I mean, the whole point is it's a secret identity...

This is in response to the Count, not my own costume.

it's not bad count, the main problem is that you just don't have the character's body.
But you're still working on that, right? Other than that, I'd say paint the gun black, and get something approximating his ammo harness. On the bright side, you got a better colour for the hair than the last person I saw in a Duke Nukem costume.
On the other hand, you probably have a decent build for this Duke:

And I'm work in progress, you should have seen me three years ago during my bloated alcoholic phase. Had a blast back then, but it was rough on my body and my wallet, heh.

The chick all the way to the right is my wife dressed up as Igor.
This is my kid dressed up as a Flower Samurai. She came up with the idea.
I'm trying to find a picture of myself dressed up in what I call Frankenstein-chic.

Robby: We just bought an "Asian princess" costume. We combined that with a "Dragon sword" item and my wife did the face makeup.
And, yes, the sword was really sold as a Dragon sword. The kimono was also sold as "Asian princess" costume.

not saying "bad parent, no candy!"
yeah that angle does make it look like she has a train tho...she could also be sitting down or squatting/leaning from that GIANT bucket full of candy.
are they making those pumpkin buckets bigger now that they used to? that one looks the size of a basketball!
that would be a nice haul!

I forgot to upload these until a bit ago. I know I've shared pumpkins on a different thread in past years, but am too tired to do battle with the search engine. So... did more pumpkins this year.
Wife did the big faced one, I did the owl and the tiny one.
Also, awesome costumes everyone.
