Hey how do your horror skeletons feel about halloween?
ooof i wrote so much word kmjnhb. hope yall like it tho!
mars adores halloween. its the perfect holiday: infinite candy that you can buy for just yourself and your bro and no one will be any the wiser; the ability to scare the daylights out of some trick-or-treaters (and steal all their candy); and throwing the candy right back at them later and seeing their joyful faces (which is cuter than mars cares to admit...). catch him vibin with the other skeletons in the halloween decorations aisle for the two months before halloween.
also loves halloween!! its his third-favorite holiday, right after the Shattering (when all the monsters surfaced) and thanksgiving (so much foood a. a. a. a <3)! he creates incredibly elaborate costumes (most of which... may or may not have been jack skellington. ...and himself) and invites himself to every halloween party his friends throw. loves bobbing for apples even though he claims its incredibly unsanitary. usually ends up stealing and eating all the apples after. nobody stops him.
simultaneously likes and fears it. he loves watching all the halloween special episodes on tv and making really complex halloween decorations! but... he can never shake the nerves that come with the holiday. what if nobody likes his costume or his decorations. what if hes doing it wrong but nobodys telling him. what if someone threatens to sue his brother again over lacing aliza's pta's autumn bake sale brownies with pot (accidentally of course...) he tries his best to enjoy the holiday as much as he can though!
in contrast to his brother, citrine finds great glee in halloween! between his job at the local haunted house scaring the shit out of humans while covered in blood; his favorite hobby of remixing spooky scary skeletons on every possible device; and shoving pot in random halloween desserts, he gets a lot of joy out of it. honestly his favorite part is making matching themed jack-o-lanterns every year with his bro. where citrine has a bad habit of just chaotically stabbing the pumpkin, boston always shows him how to do it properly, which usually ends up with both their pumpkins as mini-masterpieces in their eyes <3
ahhhh halloween. his old nemesis. its never been his favorite, due to the delinquent children egging and tping his house (and having to hold back rem from committing illegalities in response), but he does admit a certain fondness for it. the deliciously crisp windy air, the cold snap that gives him a reason to break out his fanciest scarfs and trench coats, chaotically stabbing random pumpkins that arent his... truly, a blessed time of year
...or it would be if he didnt have to keep yeLLING ABOUT THAT DAMNED GYFTMAS TREE SANS REFUSES TO TAKE DOWN FOR FUCKS SAKE SANS ITS BEEN 3 YEARS GET RID OF IT ALREADY IT CLASHES WITH THE DECORATIVE GOURDS!!!
to be perfectly honest. he aint a fan of it. he dont wanna give away all the candy he bought, the lil urchins can go buy their own damn candy, this stuff is his. and paps'.
rem never dresses up for it, instead he just loafs on the sofa all night, scarfing down candy while watching halloween movies with his bro. also doesnt like how many genuinely scary movies there are this time of season. hes already been through hell, why would he wanna see more of it. the terrible cheesy ones are his favorites tho. the only part he really does like is going to the pumpkin patch with voss and picking out ugly gourds and pumpkins. voss is always so happy about it, so its impossible to not enjoy it.
halloween?? aka?? autumn??? aKA WITCHCRAFT SEASON???? COUNT. HIM. THE FUCK. IN. its his new favorite holiday now. anything supernatural around? he loves it, hes buying it, hes hoarding 10 of them now.
ouija boards, fuck yeah. summoning circles in the living room, fuck yeah. chanting bloody mary into all the mirrors, fuck yeah.
probably tries to yeet a bunch of random stuff in a cauldron and hopes a potion to change yer faet pops out. or a genuine demon. either one. the holiday itself doesnt really excite him that much, but he adores the mysterious aura around it, and the possibilities of seeing things even more monstrous than himself.
and probably as expected, this good boy likes halloween too! hes not quite as gung-ho about it as knox is, but he gets pretty excited for it. mostly for eating all the yummy candy, and seeing all the trick-or-treaters so excited seeing a real skeleton for the first time. puts up gyftmas lights and gyftmas decorations at the beginning of october. surprisingly, the fake spiders and handmade paper mache gravestones he decorates the yard with goes very well with the festiveness of the lights.
also tries to go in a corn maze once but halfway through he heard a loud hissing snake among the corn and completed the whole maze in the next 10 seconds as he scrambled to escape it.
