QUOTES
The way you slam your body into mine reminds me I'm alive, but monsters are always hungry, darling, and they're only a few steps behind you, finding the flaw, the poor weld, the place where we weren't stitched up quite right, the place they could almost slip right through if the skin wasn't trying to keep them out, to keep them here, on the other side of the theater where the curtain keeps rising."
Richard Siken
"There is something haunting in the light of the moon; it has all the dispassionateness of a disembodied soul, and something of its inconceivable mystery."
Joseph Conrad
"A house is never still in darkness to those who listen intently; there is a whispering in distant chambers, an unearthly hand presses the snib of the window, the latch rises. Ghosts were created when the first man awoke in the night."
J.M. Barrie
"One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries."
A.A. Milne
"You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everyone else, and we are all part of the same compost pile."
Chuck Palahniuk

TRICK OR TREAT
Since Halloween is coming around, I thought it'd be fun to do something along the lines of the holiday, but also to broaden the theme because not everyone celebrates Halloween (like me lmao). You can look at the dark side of mischief, and think about chaos, horror, and the supernatural. Conversely, the lighter side presents itself; pranks, cracky humor, and revelry are waiting for you to explore.
Thematically, you could think about tricksters, about people who have more than one identity/face, about people who wear masks, about people who are troublemakers (e.g. Loki, the Weasley twins, the Marauders, superheroes). Stylistically, see if you can't make things fun (or spooky) in your graphics or writing. Add psychedelic textures, or grungy ones. Throw your characters into odd AUs or scenarios and see how they survive. Write about the dark things or the fluffy ones. It's up to you :)
If you have questions, or want to brainstorm, feel free to comment on this post!
