eyes on fire from the twilight soundtrack plays... #NerdfArters

a pic of the forks washington welcome sign with an intense blue filter
"the city of forks welcomes you", the sign reads, surrounded by tall pine trees.
under the sign a mola mola sunfish floats.
"mola mola mola mola mola", reads the bottom text, in the twilight movie font.
(this is a twilight joke, as eyes on fire by blue foundation plays during the movie and it sounds like they're saying, "hoa hoa hoa hoa hoa")

i couldn't wait to break out my spooky tshirts!! happy september 🦇🎃🕯️

a selfie i took where I'm wearing a white shirt with a black ink drawing of my gang of ghoul gals!
from right to left:
morticia adams
elvira
lily munster
and the bride of frankenstein

a selfie of me, standing with a hand on my hip, wearing a black shirt with golden writing.
golden illustrations of a black candle with gold rays, a black cat's face, and two brooms plus a vacuum, are prominent.
the top of the shirt reads: "the black flame candle", stylized as if it was a film on its own, when it's a reference to the movie 'hocus pocus' (1993)

playing symptom whack-a-mole these days 😮‍💨

two wrestlers: one laughing deeply with his eyes closed and head back, seemingly oblivious to the other dude behind him, staring at the back of his head looking serious and angry.

white text is overlayed on the image.

the laughing guy's text reads: "feeling better 🎉
on the mend 🎉"

the serious one says: "breaking out in full body hives"

hate when i buy the expensive thing and it actually works so much better

the character freckle, from the gay and wondrous life of caleb gallo, standing in a doorway, one hand on the doorframe:
"sometimes... things that are expensive... are better"
which is an edit of the real line where they say, "sometimes ... things that are expensive... are worse"

happy mother's day to my beautiful mother, my missing limb, my twin flame she taught me to take joy without shame, to dance always, and to keep loving and loving and loving missing you forever ❤️‍🩹

an old film photo of my mother and i, from when i was 5 or 6
the pic is from a bit of distance so you can see the flowers in front of us, in the grassy field we're in, highlighted by the camera's flash.
she's holding on to me as I look down at the grass
my mom seems to be looking beyond the camera, she is beautiful with dark curly hair and a black sleeveless dress on

my mother at 21, in university, taken by my father
she has black hair that is curly but blow-dried and styled in a way typical of the early 80's
she's wearing a long sleeve striped top and her face is pale
she smiles slightly and looks right into the camera
