I was thinking of what Halloween costumes the archival crew would wear and I’ve come up with:
Sasha dressing up as a witch or anything fantasy related.
Tim dressing up as either a werewolf, a mummy, and or something that’s really dumb like cereal killer type of costume.
Martin is definitely dressing up as something like a zombie or more creepy then the average costume. It’s either a basic cute costume or a horrifying one. There’s no in between.
Elias/Jonah doesn’t care and if he ever dresses up? He’s a vampire. Always a vampire in different time periods that are somehow too accurate for the guy is supposedly around the modern times.
Jon dresses up as nothing. He doesn’t dress up, in fact he really dislikes Halloween and always tries to avoid people from knocking on his door by putting a bowl of candy outside with a sign, or goes without lights on. (Totally not because of trauma about knocking on doors).
tim being a cereal killer is genuinely making me giggle,,, it's so DUMB and so HIM. he definitely egged some people's houses when he was younger.
i can imagine jon being pretty into halloween (with costumes and such) pre-head archivist, but even before michael and the door, it all makes him a bit paranoid, especially considering his experience with Mr Spider, which already made halloween quite difficult for him. the most he'll do is carve a pumpkin and leave a bowl of sweets outside.
elias, however, lives for it, before and after possession. og elias would think it's fun, and it's a good time for jonah to scare the shit out of people, especially kids.
sasha has the best witch costume - there's no arguing. none of that ugly witch business either, she's too pretty.
martin goes all out for halloween. it's the most uncharacteristic thing anyone in the archives has ever seen, including elias.
the institute on halloween is HELL if you don't like halloween. it's just asking for trouble.

This is random MH ranting but last year I brought this G2 Frankie doll from a thrift store that my friend told me about (said friend who very enthusiastically pushed me to buy this doll cause she knew how much I liked MH, like, on the low tho…) So I’ve had this G2 Frankie in her box for like… a little over a year now. Her box was broken open at the bottom since I got her but since then, it’s only gotten worse. So now the dilemma is taking Frankie out of her box. And not only that, now I’ve got to take care of her, buy her little doll stand, brush her hair (maybe change this God Awful G2 outfit)—
Anyway. I’ve should of seen this coming last year. You don’t just BUY a G2 Frankie and except nothing to come from it. You just don’t collect MH items and stay a normal person. Should’ve seen this coming.

in case anyone wants to know how fucked the legal system is here in canada, 3 teenagers came into my work today and beat the absolute shit out of a random guy because he “looked at them wrong” like literally had him on the floor and were kicking him in the ribs and head REPEATEDLY. cops were called (as much as i dislike cops, it was necessary bc wtf are we supposed to do as random minimum wage retail employees lmao???) and these teens were charged with NOTHING, after leaving this guy bloody and unconscious and his face was so swollen it was hardly even a face anymore. they punched one of my coworkers who tried to stop them too and a bunch of products were damaged as well from them throwing the guy into shelves. and they were smirking and laughing to each other as they walked out with no fucking charges because they were underage. like i’m sorry and i DO TRULY HATE cops and i hate the prison system and but HOW can you just let this happen?? no consequences?? at all??? NONE???????? they COULD HAVE KILLED HIM and literally nothing is being done because they were under 18. like. they’re just gonna do it again. and some girls that were shopping were like “they go to our school, they beat people up like that all the time and no one ever does anything” like what the FUCK!!!! where are your PARENTS😭 why is nothing being done about this!!!! i don’t understand!!! like wtf are we supposed to do, just let teenagers literally assault people?? i guess so! 😭😭😭😭😭
it was so bad that multiple customers were CRYING???? or so scared we had to literally HIDE THEM AWAY from the teenagers

i know it's The Thing to be upset and existential on this site but honestly? there's something so comforting about being 19. i was terrified of entering my last year of teenagehood. i have spent every year since 16 hating the passage of time and feeling like my youth was slipping away from me, and something about 19 was huge to me. it felt like the last rung on a ladder, the last step, the final show, like it was all coming to an end and i'd have to figure my life out now.
but really if turning 19 was anything then it was anticlimactic. i spent so long dreading this year that now im here it's sort of like 'oh, yeah actually people still very much see me as a child and none of my peers have their shit together either'. because newsflash, in the grand scheme of things, anything younger than 30 is still considered very young. and now that dread is gone from my life, i've found myself really looking forward to my twenties. i cant wait to have a life for myself, to surround myself with people i choose, to have my own place that i can decorate and make homely and invite friends around whenever i want, to be able to finally say and think the things i want without being crippled by the teenage terror of being seen as too weird, too cringey. i can't wait to let myself be myself. i think it's really exciting

ya know. I always say I don't have any of the "typical christian raised gay kid" experiences but. My mom trapped me in a room while I was crying until I would tell her what I thought of gay people. My mom accused me of pedophilia after I came out to her. One friend I made sure to come out to in a public place later told me if we had be in private she would have screamed at me for at least an hour and then said she thought I was a bad friend for not telling her sooner. I was outed to pretty much every other young adult in the church college group, even if they didn't tell the group leaders. The friend who would have screamed at me did tell her parents even though they are extremely homophobic. My mom made me read books for a year about why being gay is a sin and it's only caused by trauma and then forced me to talk about them with her and also tried to make me join an online conversion therapy group. My grandma has told me that if I ever bring a girl home she will be disgusted by me and I'm not even out to her. I have lost count of how many sunday school lessons and bible study lessons and sermons I have heard about how sinful being gay is. Two in particular though stick in my mind, one where I was trapped in a room of 10 roughly middle aged women for nearly two hours listening to them talk about it (I looked up to all of them a lot and was younger than all of them by at minimum 15 years) and one when the pastor I grew up with got behind the pulpit and said gay people were subhuman and used those words exactly. I have been in debates about gay people's right to exist period let alone in public. I have heard every variation on gay people are evil, deserve hell, are demonic, destroying the foundation of the world, signal the end times, etc etc etc that exists. Maybe I never got caught with a girl at church camp, but I don't think I even had a chance for that.

Lifeweaver in Total Mayhem is…interesting. I basically had a tug-o-war with the enemy Hog because we both had our grab/hook abilities up most of the time and whenever he hooked one of my team I would yoink them back. Only problem is when he hooks me and then I’m scrambling for dear life and sometimes just say fuck it, yoink whatever nearby tank is playing and hope they fight for me lol.
In normal QP, he’s not so bad. I do think the comments I’ve heard on how his controls should be fixed are necessary. There’s just too many individual abilities that I often end up just not using one for a long period of time because I forget it exists. His right click should be his damage (or honestly vice versa), and then they should move his dash ability to just double jump. As it is right now, it’s just too awkward to use.
Haven’t noticed any trolling Lifeweavers yet, but I’m sure they’re out there in limited quantity. There have been the occasional times where I’ve been yoinked when I wasn’t really low HP that had me going “What? Oh, okay, sure I guess” but a part of me wonders if they were having a similar issue that I had when I played him which is that the targeting of the ability is a bit over-sensitive so when you’re in the middle of a clusterfuck sometimes it’s hard to grab the one you want. I’m sure that’s probably a setting, similar to Kiriko’s teleport. Also I noticed some weirdness when trying to grab Tracer, understandably. I ended up grabbing my Tracer as she was blinking and it looked like all that it did was stop her in her tracks momentarily and then let her blink, without actually bringing her to me. Seems like that might be a major issue in more serious games if it really just stopped her altogether.
The weirdest thing I noticed with him though, and perhaps more testing is necessary because I can’t say definitively what caused this, but I think his ult actually caused me to perform an involuntary 180. I was playing Sym at the time and our LW used his ult on point right next to me, and I think because the tree sort of grows from the ground in a spiral, I was like caught in the spiral so it made me completely turn around without moving my mouse. It was incredibly weird and kind of jarring.
All in all, he’s just OK. I don’t think he’s crazy OP, but I’m also dogshit with him still so that might just be a massive skill diff. The buff to his healing was much needed, though I’d argue he might need a smidge more.
