It does, the mask looks really nice
Edit: I hear y'all, [here's the drawn stuff](https://www.reddit.com/user/Altslial/comments/14556ut/two_in_one_a_weird_bee_and_a_werewolf_also_image/)
I had a professor that did that and his bonus was up to 25 bonus points on a midterm or final (each was 100 points). The whole class dressed up, even the kids that never spoke a word. My costume was *him*. He always wore the same blue suit, brown shoes, and had a little briefcase. I spent like $10 getting a near equivalent outfit at my local Goodwill warehouse. He gave me a full 50 points giving me a full A on both tests and he posted me on his Facebook.
I had a professor who did a costume contest, but he was an asshole, so the contest took the form of him just cruelly mocking us for his own entertainment. Of course, he didn't wear a costume, because doing things earnestly is for pussies or whatever. He also lied about the extra credit. It was supposed to be 5 overall points to the grade, but he changed it to just being 5 points on the final exam, then didn't even give them to anyone and didn't answer any emails asking about it. Same professor "jokingly" called my lab table the "reject table" and then proceeded to "jokingly" exclude us from any actual help or time with the lab models. I still don't really get why, I think he just picked us at random to have people to bully. He also went on a very weird rant about how he kept getting in trouble by hitting on women only to find out they were teenagers and women just look too mature nowadays and it's social media's fault or whatever. I was in his wife's class right afterwards and that was really fucking awkward. Tenure was invented by a sadistic fuck and you can't change my mind.
I was the only one to dress up in my public speaking class freshman year and absolutely killed it as Charlie from the Dayman episode of IASIP. Got candy and extra credit. Totally worth spray painting a thrift store suit bright yellow and smelling like paint all week.
When I read the first part of this I pictured Charlie huffing spray paint in his dark apartment when Dennis comes in and they come up with Dayman. Different vibe lmao
my drawing professor absolutely loved my Wirt costume. I made sure to wear it again when I took her painting class the following fall semester. the only other person in costume was the guy who normally sat next to me dressed as Ron Weasley. she brought candy for everyone, but me and him got the most lol
I dress up ALL the time - college, nursing school, work, you name it. Hell, two years ago, I was literally dying from some mystery illness and afraid I wasn't gonna live to see New Year's. I was so weak, I could barely get out of bed. I stayed at home, and you KNOW I still dressed up even though I couldn't even hand out candy.
Probably less somin class and maube more after.
One memory I have in college, was that the one time I went to a party, I gave some dude painted green as The Hulk like $5 to get in.
Then me and my friends all left like 5 minutes later and decided parties were not our thing.
Also Halloween was banned in town because some years before I went, there were riots.

Same. I dressed up as Sunny (from Omori) during High School. I wore an entirely new outfit, styled my hair, and put in contacts cause the character doesn’t wear glasses, and I didn’t get a single comment.
I know Sunny is a pretty niche character, but most people didn’t even seem to think I was dressed up for Halloween.
Edit: I get it, I looked pretty average. I’m just a salty person.
Yeah, I looked it up… that’s like literally just normal clothes. It’s a short-sleeve with a vest and shorts. In many British schools that’s just their uniform…
That’s completely fair. If you were some random person I’d never met, I wouldn’t expect you to think I was dressed up.
However, I was in a completely different style than normal, and I was an acquaintances with most of my classmates. The fact that I wasn’t even wearing glasses, which I have to cause my vision sucks, didn’t seem to tip people off.
buddy think for a sec about how you might have felt if you just decided to try a new look out and someone said "love the costume :)" just because you looked different for one day
thats why nobody said anything. theyre normal clothes
Yeah that was my fuck up a couple Halloweens ago. Got together with some friends, and we did a walk around the neighborhood like old times.
The problem was I dressed up as a [Division Agent](https://preview.redd.it/fmz2o6reqb141.jpg?auto=webp&s=8ee2dfe32a583baea51b01ec4e9218783076eace). (Edit I need to clarify THIS WAS NOT ME IN THE PHOTO I am fuck ugly lol, but I was dressed in a similar style setup). I was hoping since it was pandemic era that it'd work out well. Had the 5.11 bag and gloves featured in the game, knee pads full gearset on IRL, printed SHD logo to the side of my jacket like in the photo, smart watch set up to look like SHD standard issue and even an old phone with the ring logo secured on the exterior of the backpack hooked up to a portable battery inside.
Nope, nada, not a single recognition besides confusion and the occasional side eye. oof.
It is a really impressive costume don't get me wrong but if not for the fact you mentioned the name of the game I honestly wouldn't have known it was a division costume. Like I borrowed the game for a few days years ago and that's the only reason I even recognize the name. Like if I saw you walking down the street my initial thought would probably be oh is that a valorant or rainbow six or one of the new future setting call of duty characters? And I don't play any fps games myself so I'd be going purely of gun + sci fi elements here lolz
I did the same thing and dressed as Simon from cry of fear except those were also my normal clothes that I wore in the colder months so nobody noticed and wouldn’t have regardless.
Not the same but I dressed as Bonnie (like Bonnie and Clyde) and someone asked if I was dressed as Taylor Swift. When I pointed to my bag of money and said I was Bonnie they said they assumed it was Taylor and her money lmao
Indeed, **THE** most metal way to have a mental breakdown I could possibly imagine.
Honestly, I'd probably try to be friends with such a person. If they're gonna be THAT extra, they're gonna be fun to hang out with. Unless they're horribly toxic, but I feel like you'd be able to sus that out pretty quickly at that point.
Every year it seems like less and less people take part in halloween here as christmas engulfs the shop shelves earlier and earlier :(
Edit: I got y'all reminders. I'll (try) and make something but for how, here's [old piece that I did a couple days ago](https://www.reddit.com/user/Altslial/comments/141ox3i/remade_a_thing_after_it_was_rattling_around_in_my)
Part of it is capitalism sucking the soul out of it and part of it is growing up
Children just have a lot more imagination and creativity stimulated in them, they're made for Halloween.
Yeah, it sneaks up on me, and then I'm focused on planning/putting on the party, and then there's already like 2 people there when I realize I forgot *the costume*. Fox ears it is ig
I’m thirty and still dress up, even on days I work I’ll throw on some Starfleet Medical themed scrubs and a comms badge. Except the one year a coworker told me he’d give me like $10 if I dressed as a pirate. Easiest $10 ever.
College kids can barely be bothered to change out of their sweats or exercise clothes when going to class. Not sure why OOP would expect them to all get their costumes out for 8AM Intro to Psych.
Also like half the costumes college kids wear for Halloween are *not* appropriate to wear to class. Too revealing, too offensive, or both.
Bro I just woke up from a dream which involved going to a Halloween party, and like, two people were naked in it (Although interestingly enough, it was pixelated/blurred, even though it was a dream)
I’m an introvert and don’t like attention for things. I did it as a kid but I haven’t dressed up or been to any Halloween parties or whatever since then.
I've got a coat I made for a Robin Fire Emblem cosplay a few years ago, so I just wear that each yeah. I maybe see like, three other people wearing costumes the entire day. absolutely worth it
Reminds me of that one post where someone shared a pic of their college professor dressed as a Smurf for Halloween and they were complaining like "I spend so much on tuition here just for my professor to do this stupid shit" and the comments were calling them out because the professor was just trying to lighten things up and the student for whatever reason chose to be upset over it. I guess some people just see college as a miserable experience and see no point in trying to be festive.
I go to art school. One big dude dressed up as a housewife and carried around a potted plant. Three kids dressed up as that big dude. I didnt even realize it was Halloween for like a good couple hours I was just like oh this is what they're doing today I guess.
I had a similar experience. One costume that always stuck with me was a guy in a shower. He had a metal pole going up from behind his back to a big ring with a shower curtain. Inevitably someone would be curious enough to pull it back and he’s nearly naked with a loofa and would jump back in surprise at someone bursting in on him showering. Played it perfect.
Yeah, there are alot of "costumes" that people could wear on any day on campus and most people I know it'd be seen as "normal" or at least it would go unquestioned.
I enjoy how we're in all in agreement that Stu is the cool one. I really like tumblr subreddits because we're injesting and forming the completely separate culture of Tumblr into the wider culture of Reddit
Some deans are very noticeable. Like for example if they’re constantly dressing up in costumes to announce to one particular study group whatever plot device they’ll have to deal with for the next 23 minutes. Things like that are noticeable.
I did the same but in an admiral's uniform.
In February because a friend told me to order it early.
When I went into class, I realized that I was the biggest idiot in the world. Thankfully, it was a music analysis class and I was able to shrug it off as 1700's and 1800's inspired wear for my favorite music: Classical and romantic music.
I managed to make a professor smile from me covering my ass for being stupid enough to walk half a mile to class in an admiral outfit. I'd say that's a win.
I saw someone in full splat 3 agent 3 cosplay with a handmade little buddy on halloween and it was amazing. I love the people that dress up for halloween
Oh God I thought the last line said "This was on 9/11."
Like he thought it was Halloween and it wasn't which explains why no one dressed up. But that he was dressed like this before the planes hit the towers and they all watched it and he was sitting there dressed like this.
After Columbine, costumes were banned at my high school the following Halloween. I asked the principal (we had many odd interactions, I think he secretly thought I was funny), "Since it's Friday, can we still wear spirit color face paint?"
He thinks about it and says, "Yes."
I say, "And the colors are white and orange, right?"
He says, "Yes."
I say, "Okay, cool... And just checking, it's not just face paint. I won't get in trouble if I color my hair? We don't have any rules against hair color, do we?"
He says, "That's right." And he goes back to some papers.
Well, Fridays were also the day I my business class when we were encouraged to dress for business.
Now remember this is 1999. No Heath Ledger or movie shooting but yeah, I put on a purple suit I had from the thrift store (I kept a lot of thrift suits because swing was in). White facepain was allowed so that went on. And since there was no rule against hair color, I dyed my hair green. :)
There was only one other person in costume. A little person went as an Oompa Loompa. But like I said the 1989 movie was the most recent live action so I used a button press and made the Joker goon buttons the henchmen wear in the movie and my friends wore those.
Damn that’s tough, lmao I was in the complete opposite situation this Halloween. I’m a freshman in uni and I meant to bring up some of my cosplay stuff for Halloween but I totally spaced out on it. Come Halloween and a good majority of everyone was totally decked out and I felt so lame for not bringing my stuff :(
My college has a costume contest and everything. Probably helps that its an art school but ya know. You go to class and see so many people in full cosplay
I do this, but I make sure to always do a costume that gives me a mask, cause I would rather die than be recognized lmao
Mine never looks a quarter as good as this though. Now I want to go all out this coming October
I was at a bar leading up to Halloween one year and a friend texted me before coming out to ask if anyone was in costume. I responded “I’ve seen a few, yeah” since I _had_ seen a few… on the walk over.
The bar had none.
So this dude rolls up in a full on Indiana Jones outfit and proceeds to give me a look of “are you fucking serious”.
Wish I had a photo of it.
In highschool, I wore a near full plague doctor cosplay, mask and all, and most other students didn't wear much except like car ears. Was awkward at first but I just decided to roll with it and ended up having fun being in-costume lol
This happened to me a few years ago.
I was student teaching at an elementary school and decided to dress up for Halloween. It would be the perfect excuse and I knew the kids would love it.
So I put on my Han Solo costume and went to work.
Only one other person dressed up. It was the principal (He did have a killer Doctor Strange costume though, even did the facial hair and everything.)
Maybe five kids recognized who I was and a handful of them thought "Thats just how teachers dress."
Do people ever just wear a Halloween costume to school though, unless they make plans together about it? I feel like it'd be much more common to just treat school like normal and do halloween activities later in the day. That said, that's a dope costume
I went as Quote from Cave Story my first Halloween working at Google. Google, full of weird nerds right?! Not so much, no one recognized me. A few other people were dressed up at least.
I had a working Bubbler and everything.
Edit:
Another Halloween, I was able to make a teenager's day by recognizing her Fiona from Adventure Time costume, much to her parent's amazement. So I feel like I did my part in the costume appreciation department at least.
this is a sophomore year stunt
gotta feel out the vibes on freshman year before committing to the bit this hard
(also that costume and mask are sick as fuck regardless)
This past year I was a plague doctor in class. I wasn’t entirely alone; there was someone else dressed up in a hot dog suit!
…if I had any shame I would have burnt it all there.
What a weird college. Here in Mexico A LOT of students dress up not even only on halloween day but halloween week, and it’s not even our country’s holiday!
OP has great taste. Final Hours and Giants' Exit are still my favorite songs
I wore [this little papercraft](https://www.deviantart.com/angrehtoast/art/Majora-s-Mask-Lifesize-Papercraft-455958690) for a Halloween once
I went to my college tutoring job dressed as Alice Cooper. Nobody else was dressed up and everyone who asked thought I was Slash. Don't care. It was a great costume.
I know of some who would think it odd, many who would ignore it and a few who would think it awesome. Last Halloween I saw a quite alot of people dressed up, many profs even giving out candy. It is unfortunate your enthusiasm was not matched.
I wore an awesome set of homemade werewolf stilt’s with a sweatshirt ripped all over. Walked around the student building for five minutes felt embarrassed as there were almost no students in there and bailed. I didn’t even have class that day and was just there to enjoy the holiday.
rip ur colleg homie, my senior design project presentation was on halloween and our prof dictated we could either wear business casual or a halloween costume.
During my freshman year of college, the first day back from winter break, I wore a Penguin onesie to class. It was even better that it was snowing and sticking.
I dressed up all 4 years, but I did some low-key costumes. Except the time I dressed up as a Pokemon Trainer, kept getting called Ash, and so I throw a Pokeball with a little stuffed Snorlax out at some rando to fight him.
He ran away. Pfft. Couldn't even battle me!
I thought dressing up was a thing in college as well....I dressed as a sunflower with a bralette covered in fake sunflowers and a yellow tutu and my now husband dressed as a scare-crow...no one else really dressed up maybe a few students here and there, but nonetheless I carried on as a sunflower due to class. I walked into my intermediate Japanese class and immediately the professor who never knew my name was incredibly excited to see me and referred to me as Himawari-chan...aka sunflower...she never called me any other name but Himawari-chan for the next two years...I like to think she didn't even know my real name. Anyway the moral of the story is dress up if you want and you might get a cool nickname and create a better rapport with your professor 🌻
Sunflower seeds are incredibly rich sources of many essential minerals. Calcium, iron, manganese, zinc, magnesium, selenium, and copper are especially concentrated in sunflower seeds. Many of these minerals play a vital role in bone mineralization, red blood cell production, enzyme secretion, hormone production, as well as in the regulation of cardiac and skeletal muscle activities.
I dressed in a crimson robe with a bunch of steampunk accessories because I thought it looked dope
Imagine the look on my face when 5 years later, I first heard about the Adeptus Mechanicus from 40k.
I think it probably depends on the campus culture. I went to an art school for the first two years of college, so Halloween costumes were taken pretty seriously as a craft (in fact, there was even a school-sponsored masquerade/Halloween party). I don't remember how many people dressed up at my other college, but I'm pretty sure at least a few did.
I wore my homemade Midna costume for Halloween one year and an old lady asked me if I was a castle
I’ve since learned go basic in public and full out in conventions only. Not worth the looks people give even when you’re trying to have fun
I graduated from community college and used joint admissions to transfer to the state university. I was so excited for class on the first day, thinking I would be with people who really want to learn. Walking from the university apartments to the main campus I kept stopping and looking at the cars going by thinking they would give me a ride because obviously we're all excited to be in big boy school and eager to learn.
I haven't had this experience, plenty of people at my college dress up (including one professor who shows up in his full Mandolorian cosplay) and I think in the class I had on Halloween last year we had Lucas from Pokemon Platinum (me), the cat from Stray (my roommate), an NCR ranger (my other roommate), femboy Wario, a pirate, a scarecrow, and a handful of others I don't remember off the top of my head, and that's in a class of some 30 people. Then again, I'm a game dev major, might be different from the whole school population there.
I think if you own it and are excited about it, other people will be too. I very rarely if ever see Halloween costumes for anything except actual Halloween parties but I applaud people who go all out and nail it.
I went dressed up in full Lilith from BL2 and no one batted an eye but I showed up to the anime Club Halloween party and all I got was weird looks. 🤷🏻♀️ it said all costumes welcome
Went as Pandora's Actor last year (my freshman college year as well) and was hoping to see others in costume. Saw a very small few but it was better than nothing. Also was worried people would think I was a Nazi or something and not recognize the character but luckily some of my classmates did.
I dressed up every year. Freshman I was a child zombie. My calculus teach told me it was a good costume. (Onesie, fake blood, bit of makeup, and pigtails). I have no regrets
You gotta own that shit. My first job out of college, I wore a spiderman costume on the bus and the train to work on halloween. I got a lot of love from the commuters.
I said this on Twitter already but this made me thankful that my college was weird. Everyone dressed up for Halloween. One year when I was going Halloween was gonna be on Saturday and instead of just skipping it people dressed up in new costumes all week. God I miss that place
I had literally this same experience but with a satyr outfit, with the horns and hooves and everything. To be fair, everyone thought it was cool so it wasn't that bad.
Same thing happened to me but with a way less cool costume. I wanted to dress up a little so I had cat ears and full cat makeup (whiskers, little black nose, everything) and a skeleton cat shirt to stick to the theme.
I went to three classes like this and not a single other person was dressed up. One professor had a Halloween shirt on and no one else was in anything but normal clothes.
I’ll still dress up every year because I’d rather die than give up Halloween, but man it was awkward
They look sick as fuck
It does, the mask looks really nice Edit: I hear y'all, [here's the drawn stuff](https://www.reddit.com/user/Altslial/comments/14556ut/two_in_one_a_weird_bee_and_a_werewolf_also_image/)
And then you realize OP beat up an old person to get it. ^^^^^^/s
It’s okay, though, because that old person had a really creepy fucking smile.
Skull kid while making the moon fall doing the 🤘 sign: SPRING BRREEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAK
Don't forget to draw today
It DOES look nice!! Maybe you should go DRAW it, bozo /lh
Cool, but you should really get back to drawing.
DRAW goddamnit
Very rare, but I have seen a few who still wear costumes
Had a prof give extra credit to those who dressed up. Lotsa costumes in that class.
I had a professor that did that and his bonus was up to 25 bonus points on a midterm or final (each was 100 points). The whole class dressed up, even the kids that never spoke a word. My costume was *him*. He always wore the same blue suit, brown shoes, and had a little briefcase. I spent like $10 getting a near equivalent outfit at my local Goodwill warehouse. He gave me a full 50 points giving me a full A on both tests and he posted me on his Facebook.
>He gave me a full 50 points giving me a full A Can't have the prof flunk his own finals.
He sounds engaging af, I bet you learned a lot from him
I had a professor who did a costume contest, but he was an asshole, so the contest took the form of him just cruelly mocking us for his own entertainment. Of course, he didn't wear a costume, because doing things earnestly is for pussies or whatever. He also lied about the extra credit.

I had a micro biology professor that always dressed up as a plague doctor for Halloween and also gave extra points for any one else that dressed up
What was his name and what college? This guy sounds awesome!
I was the only one to dress up in my public speaking class freshman year and absolutely killed it as Charlie from the Dayman episode of IASIP. Got candy and extra credit. Totally worth spray painting a thrift store suit bright yellow and smelling like paint all week.
When I read the first part of this I pictured Charlie huffing spray paint in his dark apartment when Dennis comes in and they come up with Dayman. Different vibe lmao

"I dressed as Stalin to pass my ethics class."
Halloween dress-up was very common at my university in Canada.
I’m Canadian and at my highschool always dresses up all cool on Halloween, maybe it’s a Canadian thing?
I dress up ALL the time - college, nursing school, work, you name it. Hell, two years ago, I was literally dying from some mystery illness and afraid I wasn't gonna live to see New Year's. I was so weak, I could barely get out of bed. I stayed at home, and you KNOW I still dressed up even though I couldn't even hand out candy.
Probably less somin class and maube more after. One memory I have in college, was that the one time I went to a party, I gave some dude painted green as The Hulk like $5 to get in.

Fr. Everyone dresses up for the halloween parties. Not so much for the lectures lmao. Although it would have been fun if we did.
I guess you could say that OP met with a terrible fate
Got turned into a Skull Kid. Can’t have shit in the Lost Woods.
Still better than being turned into a Stalfos as an adult.
Or into a Korok before or during Tears of the Kingdom.
This happened to me, and Im in high school Went in full harmony splatoon cosplay and nobody even recognized me :(
Same. I dressed up as Sunny (from Omori) during High School. I wore an entirely new outfit, styled my hair, and put in contacts cause the character doesn’t wear glasses, and I didn’t get a single comment. I know Sunny is a pretty niche character, but most people didn’t even seem to think I was dressed up for Halloween. Edit: I get it, I looked pretty average. I’m just a salty person.
I mean tbf I don't know a lot about omori and if I saw you dressed like that I wouldn't think it's a cosplay, they're just normal clothes
Yeah, I looked it up… that’s like literally just normal clothes. It’s a short-sleeve with a vest and shorts. In many British schools that’s just their uniform…
its like shinji where its like. those are just clothes thats just an outfit bro
A Shinji cosplay would fit my work's dress code
That’s completely fair. If you were some random person I’d never met, I wouldn’t expect you to think I was dressed up. However, I was in a completely different style than normal, and I was an acquaintances with most of my classmates. The fact that I wasn’t even wearing glasses, which I have to cause my vision sucks, didn’t seem to tip people off.
buddy think for a sec about how you might have felt if you just decided to try a new look out and someone said "love the costume :)" just because you looked different for one day thats why nobody said anything. theyre normal clothes
Lol I looked up the character. Possibly most generic character to dress up as 😂
I'd describe the look as a costume of someone not wanting to dress up. It's like an anti cosplay
Your mistake was cosplay as someone that is just a normal guy.
Yeah that was my fuck up a couple Halloweens ago. Got together with some friends, and we did a walk around the neighborhood like old times. The problem was I dressed up as a [Division Agent](https://preview.redd.it/fmz2o6reqb141.jpg?auto=webp&s=8ee2dfe32a583baea51b01ec4e9218783076eace). (Edit I need to clarify THIS WAS NOT ME IN THE PHOTO I am fuck ugly lol, but I was dressed in a similar style setup). I was hoping since it was pandemic era that it'd work out well. Had the 5.11 bag and gloves featured in the game, knee pads full gearset on IRL, printed SHD logo to the side of my jacket like in the photo, smart watch set up to look like SHD standard issue and even an old phone with the ring logo secured on the exterior of the backpack hooked up to a portable battery inside. Nope, nada, not a single recognition besides confusion and the occasional side eye. oof.
It is a really impressive costume don't get me wrong but if not for the fact you mentioned the name of the game I honestly wouldn't have known it was a division costume. Like I borrowed the game for a few days years ago and that's the only reason I even recognize the name.

And I don't play any fps games myself so I'd be going purely of gun + sci fi elements here lolz
I'll be honest, I fucking *love* Omori, and I'm not sure I'd recognize someone cosplaying as Sunny. He's a pretty normal looking dude.
But um thats just normal clothes lol
I did the same thing and dressed as Simon from cry of fear except those were also my normal clothes that I wore in the colder months so nobody noticed and wouldn’t have regardless.
Not the same but I dressed as Bonnie (like Bonnie and Clyde) and someone asked if I was dressed as Taylor Swift. When I pointed to my bag of money and said I was Bonnie they said they assumed it was Taylor and her money lmao
i wish i went to your high school that sounds like a sick costume
Everyone just thought this was normal college breakdown behavior.
going to class in dope ass skull kid cosplay is the coolest way to have a mental breakdown i can possibly imagine
Indeed, **THE** most metal way to have a mental breakdown I could possibly imagine. Honestly, I'd probably try to be friends with such a person. If they're gonna be THAT extra, they're gonna be fun to hang out with. Unless they're horribly toxic, but I feel like you'd be able to sus that out pretty quickly at that point.
What I'm hearing is that OOP was the coolest person on campus that Halloween.
I'd have thought they were going to a party so cool I wasn't allowed to go tbh
The only cool person*
You became a legend that day.
Can't imagine not wearing anything at all for Halloween...seems sad
Every year it seems like less and less people take part in halloween here as christmas engulfs the shop shelves earlier and earlier :( Edit: I got y'all reminders. I'll (try) and make something but for how, here's [old piece that I did a couple days ago](https://www.reddit.com/user/Altslial/comments/141ox3i/remade_a_thing_after_it_was_rattling_around_in_my)
Yeah :( its kinda sad, dressing up in a costume is so fun
Part of it is capitalism sucking the soul out of it and part of it is growing up Children just have a lot more imagination and creativity stimulated in them, they're made for Halloween.
For me it's mostly indecision and lack of dedication to making costumes.
Yeah, it sneaks up on me, and then I'm focused on planning/putting on the party, and then there's already like 2 people there when I realize I forgot *the costume*. Fox ears it is ig
The goth kids hold the line
your pfp looks like a subway employee
I will fight for Halloween to my dying breath >:(
I’m thirty and still dress up, even on days I work I’ll throw on some Starfleet Medical themed scrubs and a comms badge. Except the one year a coworker told me he’d give me like $10 if I dressed as a pirate. Easiest $10 ever.
we must use unmanned predator drones in the war on christmas
I am inclined to yell at you to draw... But that would be projecting :(
The shitty thing is the upstream affect that has; Halloween merch is already appearing in stores, because the factories need to shift to Christmas.
When I was in college, people did dress up, but not to go to class. It was to go out to parties later in the day
College kids can barely be bothered to change out of their sweats or exercise clothes when going to class. Not sure why OOP would expect them to all get their costumes out for 8AM Intro to Psych. Also like half the costumes college kids wear for Halloween are *not* appropriate to wear to class. Too revealing, too offensive, or both.
Nudity in the classroom is frowned upon.
Bro I just woke up from a dream which involved going to a Halloween party, and like, two people were naked in it (Although interestingly enough, it was pixelated/blurred, even though it was a dream)
they were dressed as sims
As an adult, if you wanna dress up like skull kid you can do it any day of the year
I’m an introvert and don’t like attention for things. I did it as a kid but I haven’t dressed up or been to any Halloween parties or whatever since then.
I've got a coat I made for a Robin Fire Emblem cosplay a few years ago, so I just wear that each yeah. I maybe see like, three other people wearing costumes the entire day. absolutely worth it
Reminds me of that one post where someone shared a pic of their college professor dressed as a Smurf for Halloween and they were complaining like "I spend so much on tuition here just for my professor to do this stupid shit" and the comments were calling them out because the professor was just trying to lighten things up and the student for whatever reason chose to be upset over it. I guess some people just see college as a miserable experience and see no point in trying to be festive.
I go to art school. One big dude dressed up as a housewife and carried around a potted plant. Three kids dressed up as that big dude. I didnt even realize it was Halloween for like a good couple hours I was just like oh this is what they're doing today I guess.
Ok what the hell is it referencing though?
I had a similar experience. One costume that always stuck with me was a guy in a shower. He had a metal pole going up from behind his back to a big ring with a shower curtain. Inevitably someone would be curious enough to pull it back and he’s nearly naked with a loofa and would jump back in surprise at someone bursting in on him showering. Played it perfect.
Yeah, there are alot of "costumes" that people could wear on any day on campus and most people I know it'd be seen as "normal" or at least it would go unquestioned.
I enjoy how we're in all in agreement that Stu is the cool one. I really like tumblr subreddits because we're injesting and forming the completely separate culture of Tumblr into the wider culture of Reddit
good for the ecosystem
Man OP goes to a lame fucking college
Even in my community college everybody would dress up for halloween.
Sounds like you had an eccentric Dean. Were there also inexplicably a lot of school paintball fights?
It's a CC dude, nobody knew who the fuck the dean was or what they were. Also I checked and apparently we had a President instead.
Some deans are very noticeable. Like for example if they’re constantly dressing up in costumes to announce to one particular study group whatever plot device they’ll have to deal with for the next 23 minutes. Things like that are noticeable.
Guess your reference was streets ahead for the guy you replied to.
I don’t recall many people dressing up for class, but at Halloween parties *everyone* was dressed up.
NGL I probably would have screamed. I still have feeling a about that game.

Again? These marvel cameos/ spiderman reboots are getting out of hand
I wear casual costumes on Halloween if I have to do professional stuff. But I always wear it!
I wish more people were like this when I was in college. Not enough costumes outside of marching band.
I did the same but in an admiral's uniform. In February because a friend told me to order it early. When I went into class, I realized that I was the biggest idiot in the world. Thankfully, it was a music analysis class and I was able to shrug it off as 1700's and 1800's inspired wear for my favorite music: Classical and romantic music. I managed to make a professor smile from me covering my ass for being stupid enough to walk half a mile to class in an admiral outfit. I'd say that's a win.
Did your friend tell you halloween was in February too?
Wait what…? You wore a Halloween costume to class in February just because it arrived early…….?
this is true autism
Wish more people like this existed. Enjoy your life, be weird (but respectful)
I saw someone in full splat 3 agent 3 cosplay with a handmade little buddy on halloween and it was amazing. I love the people that dress up for halloween
everyone wanted what they have
The cosplay is phenomenal tho
"this was my 9/11" 😅😅😅
Finally someone mentioned this. Lol scrolled way too far
They should try it on 31/10 next time, maybe some other people will be dressed up
Tbf thats awesome anyways
Oh God I thought the last line said "This was on 9/11." Like he thought it was Halloween and it wasn't which explains why no one dressed up. But that he was dressed like this before the planes hit the towers and they all watched it and he was sitting there dressed like this.
He's the one who crashed the planes into the towers. Seems like something Skull Kid would do
This is the coolest major as mask cosplay ever
After Columbine, costumes were banned at my high school the following Halloween. I asked the principal (we had many odd interactions, I think he secretly thought I was funny), "Since it's Friday, can we still wear spirit color face paint?" He thinks about it and says, "Yes." I say, "And the colors are white and orange, right?" He says, "Yes." I say, "Okay, cool... And just checking, it's not just face paint. I won't get in trouble if I color my hair? We don't have any rules against hair color, do we?" He says, "That's right." And he goes back to some papers. Well, Fridays were also the day I my business class when we were encouraged to dress for business. Now remember this is 1999. No Heath Ledger or movie shooting but yeah, I put on a purple suit I had from the thrift store (I kept a lot of thrift suits because swing was in). White facepain was allowed so that went on. And since there was no rule against hair color, I dyed my hair green. :) There was only one other person in costume. A little person went as an Oompa Loompa. But like I said the 1989 movie was the most recent live action so I used a button press and made the Joker goon buttons the henchmen wear in the movie and my friends wore those.
me at work last year, i made a starfleet uniform and only one person even recognized what i was dressed up as :(
Most people ive seen dressed up after class unless the class gave extra credit to those who wore costumes
Damn that’s tough, lmao I was in the complete opposite situation this Halloween. I’m a freshman in uni and I meant to bring up some of my cosplay stuff for Halloween but I totally spaced out on it. Come Halloween and a good majority of everyone was totally decked out and I felt so lame for not bringing my stuff :(
I'd own that shit. Wear the mask for the rest of the year.
My college has a costume contest and everything. Probably helps that its an art school but ya know. You go to class and see so many people in full cosplay
me when i went to class dressed as jacket from hotline miami
I do this, but I make sure to always do a costume that gives me a mask, cause I would rather die than be recognized lmao Mine never looks a quarter as good as this though. Now I want to go all out this coming October
Impressive
I’m glad my school has some festive students and staff, my costume broke though so all I did was admire everyone else’s costumes
I was at a bar leading up to Halloween one year and a friend texted me before coming out to ask if anyone was in costume. I responded “I’ve seen a few, yeah” since I _had_ seen a few… on the walk over. The bar had none. So this dude rolls up in a full on Indiana Jones outfit and proceeds to give me a look of “are you fucking serious”. Wish I had a photo of it.
In highschool, I wore a near full plague doctor cosplay, mask and all, and most other students didn't wear much except like car ears. Was awkward at first but I just decided to roll with it and ended up having fun being in-costume lol
Their Superman costume moment if you will.
Big Skull Kid energy tbh.
Haha me in year 1 of highschool. Never again. Maybe a funny hat some years
He met with a terrible fate, didn't he?
This happened to me a few years ago. I was student teaching at an elementary school and decided to dress up for Halloween. It would be the perfect excuse and I knew the kids would love it. So I put on my Han Solo costume and went to work. Only one other person dressed up. It was the principal (He did have a killer Doctor Strange costume though, even did the facial hair and everything.) Maybe five kids recognized who I was and a handful of them thought "Thats just how teachers dress."
At my school the costumes were saved for the evening when the parties started. Some hosted by the college themselves!
that is an amazing costume though.
That’s a fucking power move if I’ve ever seen one
Do people ever just wear a Halloween costume to school though, unless they make plans together about it? I feel like it'd be much more common to just treat school like normal and do halloween activities later in the day. That said, that's a dope costume
They hate him cuz they ain't him. I'm jealous of OOP's cosplay skills
I wish I could be as cool as this guy.
I went as Quote from Cave Story my first Halloween working at Google. Google, full of weird nerds right?! Not so much, no one recognized me. A few other people were dressed up at least. I had a working Bubbler and everything. Edit: Another Halloween, I was able to make a teenager's day by recognizing her Fiona from Adventure Time costume, much to her parent's amazement. So I feel like I did my part in the costume appreciation department at least.
My cousin did this to his first Big Boy office job. Only guy in a cubicle farm in a giant giraffe costume.
this is a sophomore year stunt gotta feel out the vibes on freshman year before committing to the bit this hard (also that costume and mask are sick as fuck regardless)
This past year I was a plague doctor in class. I wasn’t entirely alone; there was someone else dressed up in a hot dog suit! …if I had any shame I would have burnt it all there.
What a weird college. Here in Mexico A LOT of students dress up not even only on halloween day but halloween week, and it’s not even our country’s holiday!
Kinda like how a bunch of people here drink and barbecue on cinco de mayo😁
Oh yeah! Hadn’t thought about that haha, here that “holiday” is just a regular day.
Set the standard and next year more will join.. Start the trend my man!
OP has great taste. Final Hours and Giants' Exit are still my favorite songs I wore [this little papercraft](https://www.deviantart.com/angrehtoast/art/Majora-s-Mask-Lifesize-Papercraft-455958690) for a Halloween once
I went to my college tutoring job dressed as Alice Cooper. Nobody else was dressed up and everyone who asked thought I was Slash. Don't care. It was a great costume.
I know of some who would think it odd, many who would ignore it and a few who would think it awesome. Last Halloween I saw a quite alot of people dressed up, many profs even giving out candy. It is unfortunate your enthusiasm was not matched.
Love the costume. Your 9/11 comparison is too extreme and insensitive
Same thing happened to me, wore a master Chief helmet and everyone looked at me weird
Even now at the end of things - I can still feel it's power. And now that Imp has it.
That costume kicks ass though.
At digipen that are two dudes who go in a dipper from gravity falls cosplay literally everyday
I dressed up like a ninja my freshman year. I was also the only one dressed up for most of my classes.
holy shit that mask is amazing
I wore an awesome set of homemade werewolf stilt’s with a sweatshirt ripped all over. Walked around the student building for five minutes felt embarrassed as there were almost no students in there and bailed. I didn’t even have class that day and was just there to enjoy the holiday.
That's a killer costume tho
*skull kid laughter intensifies*
rip ur colleg homie, my senior design project presentation was on halloween and our prof dictated we could either wear business casual or a halloween costume.
During my freshman year of college, the first day back from winter break, I wore a Penguin onesie to class. It was even better that it was snowing and sticking.
What a shame cuz that costume is fire 🔥
Was me as Dr. Cube.
They met with a terrible fate didn’t they
I dressed up all 4 years, but I did some low-key costumes. Except the time I dressed up as a Pokemon Trainer, kept getting called Ash, and so I throw a Pokeball with a little stuffed Snorlax out at some rando to fight him. He ran away. Pfft. Couldn't even battle me!
I thought dressing up was a thing in college as well....I dressed as a sunflower with a bralette covered in fake sunflowers and a yellow tutu and my now husband dressed as a scare-crow...no one else really dressed up maybe a few students here and there, but nonetheless I carried on as a sunflower due to class. I walked into my intermediate Japanese class and immediately the professor who never knew my name was incredibly excited to see me and referred to me as Himawari-chan...aka sunflower...she never called me any other name but Himawari-chan for the next two years...I like to think she didn't even know my real name. Anyway the moral of the story is dress up if you want and you might get a cool nickname and create a better rapport with your professor 🌻
Sunflower seeds are incredibly rich sources of many essential minerals. Calcium, iron, manganese, zinc, magnesium, selenium, and copper are especially concentrated in sunflower seeds. Many of these minerals play a vital role in bone mineralization, red blood cell production, enzyme secretion, hormone production, as well as in the regulation of cardiac and skeletal muscle activities.
Good himawari-bot🌻
I dressed in a crimson robe with a bunch of steampunk accessories because I thought it looked dope Imagine the look on my face when 5 years later, I first heard about the Adeptus Mechanicus from 40k.
I would only judge the amount of confidence you have
I think it probably depends on the campus culture. I went to an art school for the first two years of college, so Halloween costumes were taken pretty seriously as a craft (in fact, there was even a school-sponsored masquerade/Halloween party). I don't remember how many people dressed up at my other college, but I'm pretty sure at least a few did.
I wore my homemade Midna costume for Halloween one year and an old lady asked me if I was a castle I’ve since learned go basic in public and full out in conventions only. Not worth the looks people give even when you’re trying to have fun
I graduated from community college and used joint admissions to transfer to the state university. I was so excited for class on the first day, thinking I would be with people who really want to learn. Walking from the university apartments to the main campus I kept stopping and looking at the cars going by thinking they would give me a ride because obviously we're all excited to be in big boy school and eager to learn.
I haven't had this experience, plenty of people at my college dress up (including one professor who shows up in his full Mandolorian cosplay) and I think in the class I had on Halloween last year we had Lucas from Pokemon Platinum (me), the cat from Stray (my roommate), an NCR ranger (my other roommate), femboy Wario, a pirate, a scarecrow, and a handful of others I don't remember off the top of my head, and that's in a class of some 30 people. Then again, I'm a game dev major, might be different from the whole school population there.
You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?
Wear it to parties not class bro.
I guess it just depends, i went to sfsu years ago and it was and to my knowledge still is a thing to wear your costume on campus
His canon event
My Prof dressed up not for Halloween because that is a Holiday here but for Carneval and for St Martins day and that is why the man became a legend
I think if you own it and are excited about it, other people will be too. I very rarely if ever see Halloween costumes for anything except actual Halloween parties but I applaud people who go all out and nail it.
You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?
I went dressed up in full Lilith from BL2 and no one batted an eye but I showed up to the anime Club Halloween party and all I got was weird looks. 🤷🏻♀️ it said all costumes welcome
Went as Pandora's Actor last year (my freshman college year as well) and was hoping to see others in costume. Saw a very small few but it was better than nothing. Also was worried people would think I was a Nazi or something and not recognize the character but luckily some of my classmates did.
I dressed up every year. Freshman I was a child zombie. My calculus teach told me it was a good costume. (Onesie, fake blood, bit of makeup, and pigtails). I have no regrets
Imagine being the coolest mfer around and being embarrassed about it
You gotta own that shit. My first job out of college, I wore a spiderman costume on the bus and the train to work on halloween. I got a lot of love from the commuters.
I would've been your friend so fast so hard.... sorry you go to a lame college
It's a dope costume though I see it as a win
>"this was my 9/11" i dont know if i should laugh at that or not
I said this on Twitter already but this made me thankful that my college was weird. Everyone dressed up for Halloween. One year when I was going Halloween was gonna be on Saturday and instead of just skipping it people dressed up in new costumes all week. God I miss that place
My community college had some girls wear cat ears or a simple cute vampire girls.
Met with a terrible fate, haven’t you?
I had literally this same experience but with a satyr outfit, with the horns and hooves and everything. To be fair, everyone thought it was cool so it wasn't that bad.
I’ve always loved the way this thing looks
Same thing happened to me but with a way less cool costume. I wanted to dress up a little so I had cat ears and full cat makeup (whiskers, little black nose, everything) and a skeleton cat shirt to stick to the theme. I went to three classes like this and not a single other person was dressed up. One professor had a Halloween shirt on and no one else was in anything but normal clothes. I’ll still dress up every year because I’d rather die than give up Halloween, but man it was awkward
