If really want that I think it could make that happen. But I do need to watch the movie first so there’s that.

Don’t we all have this kind of people in our lifes? Studying, at work. Life in general. There’s always someone at some point trying to prove a point no one asked. That I’ll never understand I’d be concerned if there’s a lot of Silence of the Lambs fans.

I mean… I say that will all respect, of course. You’re taken so you’re safe… for now. Not everyone is matching the costumes, I’m one of them.  Please don’t tell me he gave that speech about your clothes. …I’ll hold my tongue.

You’re right, there’s always that one pain in the ass. And if we’re unlucky... they’re more than one. Which is true most of times. Well, I’ve met a few enthusiasts to be honest... but I gotta give it to them that Silence of the Lambs is a really good film. I’d be more worried if they were Hannibal fans, I mean, of the serial killer. 

Am I? Well, now that’s boring. 

He didn’t, actually. He was just a little bit disappointed that I didn’t follow through with our plans, we were coming as Morticia and Gomez Addams. But he didn’t say anything bad about my outfit, he just... went away. No need to hold your tongue, Meg.

Honestly, me and Millie are lucky that our guys became friends, but I can see how it would look weird maybe. Anyway, thanks for looking out for me, you’re the real MVP!

They go to Columbia, but they aren’t sorority girls. Millie is majoring in History, and Maeve in Journalism.

You go, girl! But I wouldn’t really blame you if it did. Sure, a couple more songs wouldn’t hurt, but I’m sure you have a lot more moves than me.

They seem nice. Let’s do it then, just text me the details.

I doubt that! C’mon, Perse, show me what you got!

[chiarasings]

perseabernathy​:

A fellow horror movie enthusiast, then. Such a shame she was too drunk, you could have made a new friend.

Oh, that’s probably Gabriel. Keep an eye open, you mean… Nah, his fiancée is probably the most gorgeous girl I’ve ever seen, and Max isn’t like that. Besides, we’re like, couples that are friends, you know? Me and Millie, and Max and Gabe. 

How about a girl’s night? I could invite Maeve and Millie, you’ll love them.

Oh… such a shame. But I’m glad it didn’t ruin your party spirit, I’m sure you guys will make up in no time. He will realize he can’t miss out on how hot you look today, even if it’s horror-inspired.

Yeah, Gabriel. That’s the name. Right, I get it. It’s just a feeling I had when I saw them talking, they seemed... close. But if you say so, who am I to insist?

Sounds cool, are they your sorority sisters or friends from outside? 

My dear, nothing can ruin my party spirit. Specially a man. Thank you, though, I bet you’re right. He’ll soon come around. Wait, I think 911 just started playing. How about we hit the dance floor? 

[chiarasings]

perseabernathy​:

Red thread of fate? That’s… quite a leap. Poor her, I hope she is okay now. But it would be a beautiful meaning to a costume, maybe not enough to cry, though.

Who? I mean, it could be I guess, but I’m not sure what friends really hang out at the concerts, I usually leave early because traffic is awful in this city, Max probably told you about it.

I like dancing on my own, actually, but look who’s talking! Didn’t Heron come with you? I don’t think I sw him around.

She was a mess, dressed as Jennifer from Jennifer’s Body. When I asked her about the costume she got upset too. I didn’t really know what to do. 

Oh, it’s this tall brunette, kinda cocky, always wearing a jacket. I’d keep an eye open Perse, I might be wrong but you never know. 

Yeah, I noticed you don’t stay late, and Max told me about it. It’s a shame though, it would be great hanging out with you more often. 

Right, Heron... we kind of had an argument earlier and haven’t talked ever since. We were supposed to wear matching costumes but I wasn’t feeling it... so I changed it last minute. Can’t blame me for not wanting to be tacky, right? Not that matching costumes are, but ours... was not lit.

[chiarasings]

perseabernathy​:

Honestly, I even saw some of my sisters here, I’d say the word is pretty spread already. Really? What else did people think it was, besides artistic blood? I’m curious. Nah, I’m just telling the truth.

Hmm, I don’t really know actually. He is probably sitting somewhere judging the party’s playlist or something. I said I wanted to dance a little and he didn’t feel like joining me. But maybe he is talking to one of his friends, there must be a lot of them here.

There was this one super drunk girl who came up to me talking about how much she loved my “red thread of fate” outfit and that it almost made her cry. I told her to calm down and got her some water, it was wild.

What a killjoy! You mean friends like that one who sometimes comes to our concerts and hangs out afterwards? I think I saw them around earlier. 

But I hope you found someone to dance with, ‘cause a stunning girl like you shouldn’t be left alone wanting to dance at a party! 

[chiarasings]

perseabernathy​:

I’m not really all that familiar with non-greek parties, so I didn’t even think there would be so many people here. Horror movies like that are sort of niches, I’m not surprised a lot of people don’t get it. Dakota Johnson killed the part, but you’re giving her a run for her money.

Yes! Max came as Aaron Samuels, but I guess maybe his costume is not as evident as mine when we’re apart. I though about getting the crown, but to be honest I just wanted to be more comfortable.

There’s life outside the greek life, spread the word around! They sure are, but it’s funny to hear people’s interpretations of my costume though. Thanks, that’s gold coming from you.

Oh, right... and where is he now? Getting drinks? Talking to some guy? Your costume doesn’t lack the crown though, it’s very complete as it is.

[chiarasings]

perseabernathy​:

@chiarasings​

Chiara! Max didn’t tell me the whole band would be here, it’s great to see you.

Love the costume, Suspiria, right? My movie reference is much less high brow, but I love to see that people are being more creative with their choices.

Hey, Perse! Yeah, it’s kind of a big party, I wouldn’t miss it if I could. Fancy seeing you, as always.

Yeah! So glad you recognized it, most people think it’s an artistic representation of blood or some shit... but of course you would get it. Wait, are you Cady from Mean Girls? I love it, you just need a crown to shatter and throw around.

[chiarasings]

thereisliifeonmars​:

I will keep that in mind, hopefully I’ll be able to watch and maybe talk about with you? Don’t expect great remarks like you’re used to.

…it really isn’t but there’s a lot we assume and see it’s way more different than we can imagine. Though, yours seems interesting… all the details and things you might need to study.

Ouch, his background is deep. Still, I’m not here for this kind of stuff. Kidnapping princesses in hope of marriage. Are you afraid I’d steal you? I feel like I’m more like LSP. Though, I could pull PB if you wanted. Around somewhere sounds vague but I won’t bother you with that. I just don’t get the mad part.

Great, maybe you can let me in on some psychoanalysis of the characters if you’re up for it. Or not, only if you feel the inspiration when you watch it. 

Yeah, it kinda is. I mean, I love it. Most parts of it at least make it worth all the presumptuous classmates I have to endure. I swear to god if I have to hear another film student talk about how much they love The Godfather I’m gonna blow my brains out.

Damn, girl. Coming in hot and heavy. Well, we were kinda supposed to come wearing matching costumes, but I wasn’t really digging it so I crocheted this outfit yesterday and decided to wear it. He didn’t like it that much.

[chiarasings]

thereisliifeonmars​:

So damn creative like calling me by another planet’s name. The list could be endless. Not even worth to talk about.

Making me even curious about that, which then I should pick first? Go for the plot or the aesthetic? Well, the mind is a tricky place. And the understanding part is a little bit more complicated than it seems. But I suppose I can say it’s interesting in many ways.

I guess so, though it wouldn’t really be my thing. I don’t suit the personality… the boyfriend, huh? Matching costumes isn’t for everyone. Where is he anyway?

I think you should watch the original first, so you can pick up the references on the remake. Both are worth your time, I promise. 

Yeah, it is. Everyone is so different, I can only imagine what makes each person tick, though I know this isn’t the goal of your study... such a fascinating and intricate major, kudos to you. 

Let me guess, you’re more of an Ice King then? Kidnapping princesses around town in hopes they’ll marry ya? 

Hmm... yeah, he’s around the party somewhere a bit mad with me at the moment I reckon.

[chiarasings]

thereisliifeonmars​:

Well, Mars. I lost count how many times people asked if there is life on Mars and all this kind of stuff.

It was a joke. I heard about this one I didn’t get the chance to watch yet. Still worse for your colleagues. I’m off the hook, Psychology major here. Not quite, maybe waiting for the right moment. And I think I nailed. You’d need Princess Bubblegum.

I can even picture some smart-ass guy thinking he’s so slick telling you you’re out of this world with a feeling he’s gonna swipe you off your feet with this creative pick-up line.

It’s a great film, it has a deeper plot than the original which I really liked, but the lighting aesthetics and editing of the first one are iconic, so they’re both really great. Psychology, huh? Got a thing for understanding the mind then? 

You did, no worries, I’m just messing with ya. Well, at least PB is easier to find than Kovu, am I right? Though my boyfriend wouldn't dress up as neither.

[chiarasings]

thereisliifeonmars​:

Not as many as you might think. It’s mostly about my last name though. I honestly can’t imagine any nickname for you using your name. Still, Chiara is a good name so there’s nothing wrong with that.

I… C'mon. I’m not fishing for compliments. It can be very ironic looking that way. Yours is different but I’m afraid I can’t tell where is from. You would rock as Marceline too, pun intended.

And what would that be?

Well, you were the one saying you’d be leaving this party. It’s from Suspiria, the remake from 2018. Not many people have got it yet, though I expected that would happen. Most of my classmates haven’t put their fingers around it, and I’m a film student. Damn, have you been holding out on that joke since the beginning of our conversation? She does play bass, so... good one.

[chiarasings]

thereisliifeonmars​:

That is very much true. Fun name, I guess we can say that. Not very much easy for nicknames. Still, it’s already short enough. That would be very tricky and I don’t see anyone trying to go for Kovu.

Mulan is a good one as well. I can see why you like it so much. I mean… it’s halloween I’m not judging anyone. Talking about the difference between me and the others. Guess I’m going home then. Just kidding.  

Now you got me curious about the nicknames you’ve got so far. Chiara’s a tough one as well, I think only my parents have a nickname for me. Most people just give up and go by my full name.

But you did go big, Megara’s a great costume. Now you’re just fishing for compliments. The whole greek theme... one could say is a comment on the greek life. 

[chiarasings]

thereisliifeonmars​:

Hey. Yeah, it’s me. Chiara, if I’m not wrong? Feels like I kinda missed the opportunity to be Poison Ivy.

Did you like the movie? Almost feels like I’m overdressed as Megara in comparison with some girls.

Yeah. It would’ve been quite an icebreaker, though you’d miss a Harley Quinn. At least you have a fun name, if I were to dress up as Kiara, I’d be mistaken for a furry.

Hercules? I liked it a lot when I was a kid, though my favorite always has been Mulan. There’s something special about a woman kicking ass. Overdressed as in how? I don’t get it, it’s halloween after all! Go big, or go home.

[chiarasings]

@thereisliifeonmars​

Hey. Ivy, right? 

I dig the “won’t say I’m in love” costume.
