my little sister just found out at school that you can create a religion and wants me to help her turn Halloween into a year long religion. And i never knew i wanted this until now. We will be the Halloween Cult. I am so ready for this.
My sister came up with some cult rules.
Do not deny the spooky.
Be nice to children.
Don’t be pressuring others into the religion, if they don’t want to hear leave them alone.
Every second Wednesday of each month is Pumpkin Worship, that is when you eat pumpkin flavored things, carve pumpkins, or burn pumpkin spice scented candles. Just embrace the pumpkin.
Don’t be mean to other people for reasons they can’t control, but hey if they are doing it on purpose just to annoy you, destroy them.
No touch other people if they don’t want you to, this includes hair.
Halloween is a holy day, embrace it and become one with the spooky.
Costumes are an everyday thing, but sometimes it can be inappropriate, be aware of when to embrace the spooky and when to just be a little spooky.
Don’t let anyone tell you you can’t be spooky, and if they do tell you then they don’t know what they’re talking about. You can be all the spooky all you want.
Be nice to animals.
Be ready to help others when you can but still remember that you need to put your needs first.
You are spooky, you are amazing, you are fabulous. Say it.
idk but i think we need more, go ask you internet nerd friends.
can yall think of anything else?
OKay i asked her how one would join the cult and she said to light a jack-o-lantern on a full moon then yodel into the night for the pumpkin king and if he approves you, you will hear someone yell “stut the fuck up” then you are part of the cult.
had to at one point prepare for a possible future where their family and friends were no longer a support system
public transit
substance abuse
intimacy issues exacerbated by endangering your life by public displays of affection
fuck cops
bad memory
utility related comfort item (The Jacket, The Backpack etc)
violently hating your body as a teen but realizing it’s other people’s perceptions and expectations of it that you hate in your adult life
never fucking going to the doctor
UTIs
everyone in ur friend group has tried to kill themselves
maturity at a young age
flannel
all of u are so surprised that every one of these r applicable….i can tell you exactly why each of them is a universal experience but i bet u can unpack this on ur own….think abt it
