    Ooh, neat. Not sure what you are, but it looks like you put a lot of effort into it. Mine’s literally just a set of warm pajamas I had lying around already, an excuse to carry my teddy bear around all night, and a way to look “hug shaped” and get some cuddles from the people I’m hanging out with. Low effort because I’m getting too old for creative kiddie costumes and a low effort panda bear was way easier and draws less trouble than something like the Spectre of Communism or that one year I went as Lenin (tbf, I then wore that again to celebrate the anniversary of the October Revolution, it wasn’t just a Halloween costume, I just ran out of time to arrange a separate Halloween costume).

      Oh I work with a ton of queer young folks and they were all fawning on the new Hollow Knight game and it’s main character Hornet that I went and surprised them with that costume today.

      First time crafting with evo foam, it’s a bit rough looking, but overall pretty happy about the results. You sure sound like you had a lovely evening with your folks and that’s awesome !

        Oh, neat. It looks awesome. Well made.

        Yeah, I sure did. Halloween is my favourite. I get to dress up as the most hug shaped thing I can think of, and get lots of hugs from my family. My dad’s notoriously not a hugger, and even he hugged the panda bear.
