Holy shit! Halloween can be a fucking femme playground! This is my first one realized, but lately I’ve been thinking this could be a great time to try some spooky polishes publicly and it not be too unusual. But then again, I was at the store recently and saw the makeup, devil, and cat headband & tail sets and 💡

I don’t typically go to Halloween parties(or any parties. Not invited 😓) but holy shit, I just realized the season is coming up to go however far or further and (to some extent) nobody will give a shit!

      This makes me sad a little. I didn’t realize when I was younger, but those who did and wanted to but couldn’t… It makes me sad. I feel for those of you… It’s difficult enough as an adult.

        I only realized when I was 17 I think, it sucks, I don’t know how i missed the incredibly obvious signs when I was as young as 9 or 10, and the opportunities I had like in that meme, and now I’m struggling with presenting at 19, so definitely felt

        That was me. I knew but couldn’t was my life for a long time. And yeah, that sucked, but being one the other side of it now, I’m not going to let that part of my life continue to take away from the rest of my life.

        25 years ago? 7 years ago? Tomorrow? Either way, it’s fucking amazing :)

    I went as Velma last Halloween and I got a ton of wolf whistles and the “gender affirming” experience of having drunk men twice my age flirt at me - ngl it was kinda creepy being treated like that but also it was so nice having people think I was a girl (at the time I thought I was a cis male femboy)

    Yeah I remember before I had more clarity on who I am, I went as Barb from Stranger Things one year because it was “funny,” and another year I was a witch with a fun gown. It’s a great opportunity to try things out!
