Happy Halloween!

Didn't get to do much for it this year, though I at least got to bake and eat a pumpkin pie.

Shame, it's my favorite of the holidays of USA American Christian culture. Witches and werewolves, bats and black cats, ravens and owls and skeletons and slime, indulging in strange and occult, in a terrifying and wonderful magic, being up late at night and the magic of seeing glowing fire in the darkness, holding my dad's hand as we walked through our wooded semi-rural neighborhood, the dry cold air on my face... too squeemish for gory movies, never was cool enough to be a goth. But October is a good month, for an autistic little wolfaboo who felt wonder at the glow of even ordinary car and traffic lights in blue-black darkness, sitting in the backseat of the car and staring out the window.

It's also the anniversary of Deltarune's CH1 release. Heh...

I feel like October would've been a good month to re-watch Yugioh '98, but I was always busy... now it's too late for that. Does anyone else ever have anime that they think of as good "Halloween" watches? Or just generally shows that aren't actually "for" a particular time of year, but that you feel is appropriate in setting, tone, or subject matter for a particular holiday season...

I should have also re-watched Over the Garden Wall this month... my mother wanted to do that with me. Oh well.

Hehehe...

What's "Bottom"? Obviously a television show, but the name doesn't make it particularly easy to look up.

(Those are pretty unconventional devil costume horns! I feel like normally they're shorter and curved inwards, just like the ones in Petz.)

Yeah it kind of predates the need for a searchable title. I think most people tag it "BBC Bottom" or you can just go here - https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Series/Bottom - I'm not sure what references you'd be familiar with but one of the leads is the guy from Drop Dead Fred if you know that film.

(I never noticed that, but I think the idea is they're meant to be kind of cheap and rubbish)
