i wanna be at this party so bad!
me too!
I wish I knew what I should be for Halloween. Either there are no role-models for me or I haven’t found them…can you help? I’m a dark skinned, overweight, curly haired, queer cis-woman. I have no sewing skills, moderate makeup-skills and fierce determination to find a good (queer) Halloween costume. I’ll learn to sew if that’s what it takes!
There’s always Gina Torres as Zoe Washburn! Provided you have khaki pants and a brown leather(ish) jacket, you’re good to go.
EXCELLENT suggestion.
also, ANYONE from hamilton!!! i’m maybe gonna be aaron burr? but also, so many options! it’s already race-flipped, why not gender also?
What about Patty from Ghostbusters? She’s awesome (though not queer canonically).
Garnet from Steven Universe! She’s a curvy, dark skinned, big haired super hero from space. She’s the most badass character on the show, and queer to boot! And if not her, Smokey Quartz also from that same show is also a badass, hilarious, dark skinned chubby super hero who’s probably also queer or genderqueer. One reason that show is so great, besides the fact that it’s the queerest show, is that all body types and gender presentations are represented and all the most badass super heros are women
Oh, or Sugalite!
Garnet or Amethyst from Steven Universe
america chavez (that’s who i’m being)
There is always OITNB characters, like Black Cindy and Taystee.
definitely made out with Katniss from movie 1, while dressed up as Katniss from movie 2 which was some type of major meta experience.
this sounds like the best type of halloween party!
Literally going to go as Eleven, so here we are.
You, me, and everyone else browsing men’s navy blue windbreakers on Amazon, apparently!
The illustration of Wonder Woman should read, “Bisexual. I’m bisexual.”
“Brienne of Tarth double-fisting two different IPAs”
I need an oil painting of this in my living room.
“15. Piper and Alex from Orange Is The New Black because even though they aren’t even together on the show anymore, there will always be a white couple dressed as them at every queer Halloween party for the rest of eternity”
S C R E A M I N G
It’s funny because it’s true
But also because it’s not true, I think they are together now
This is so damn cute. I need to go to a cool small queer spooky ass get together.
(Also the shade thrown at the white couples dressed as Piper and Alex is hilarious as well as how cute the group hug that rubys and sapphires have with princess bubblegums and marcelines)
Oh wow i just officially decided on being Daria yesterday, will deeeeefinitely be referencing this article if i see a cute Xena (or any other costume here honestly)
Also really like how FBI looks like BI on Scully’s name tag :P
How about a Jillian Holtzmann making out with a Harley Quinn? Could work?
Cries b/c I’m not going to this Halloween party (although I am hopefully hanging out with some queer gals!).
We will be doing the classic alternative to the gay halloween party, watching Rocky Horror!
I mean I wish I was going to this party, too
Regardless of canon I feel like dressing up as Wonder Woman and wandering around saying “I’m gay” to people in rooms at parties would be a grade A way of coming out.
I hope you do it
Hehe I so would! But I’m out to all my friends and I already have a costume: every year, for one day only, I assume my alter ego as a witch with ripped tights and fingerless gloves and an IDGAF attitude. :-D
I don’t usually do Halloween but I would definitely check this one out.
And my BAMF Stahma Tarr is forgotten.
Marsha Clark! That is brilliant. It had not occurred to me
i was a roller derby person which was pretty fun (i do not do roller derby in real life). i even made skates by wiring the wheels from my old skateboard onto a pair of soccer cleats, heheh. also drew a tattoo on my arm in eye liner. i made a poufy skirt from a non-poufy skirt, and wore b+w stripey tights to give it a halloween vibe.
I’d go to this party. True Story, a couple years ago I tried to dress as Astrid from How to Train Your Dragon, but everyone thought I was Xena. So I just went with it…
I would love to see pictures of this
I too want to be at the party, but you are telling us that there won’t be a Laura Jane Grace in running make up on her 4th beer?
LJG is a commitment costume because you have to black one arm out with sharpie :-D
I’m hoping to see lots of polyamorous trios go as Rey, Finn, and Poe from Star Wars.
Yeah! I’m def going as Rey
You left out this couples costume which my girlfriend and I went with for a heroes & villains party earlier this year…

Obviously guns are terrible and there were mixed feelings about that…
Yeah… I would’ve left the guns off the costume. It’s not just the implication of gun violence, but it’s also white privilege to be able to open carry real or toy guns.
They weren’t open carried (it was in a private property in Australia) but you’ve brought up a good point. I’m not sure how to edit my post but if the mods could help, I’d replace it with this: https://scontent.fmel1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/13895048_10153641102655684_4601557647430410608_n.jpg?oh=e4e0600a2f1897e0ec92792a383c6cfd&oe=58688FFD
I’m trying to delete my first post in the absence of ability to edit.
No worries, Sonya. I’m just expressing my concern from a North American perspective. :)
If you are were born in the early eighties and you watched alot of movies there is always Billie Jean from the legend of Billy Jean. Who just so happens to be the original Supergirl who now plays her mother.
haha, the Carol Airds arguing of the movie/book and Therese waiting to be noticed. LOL.
Halloween parties are (regretfully) not a thing here in Belgium. But I thought the whole idea of Halloween was to be scary? The only thing scaring me on this list is the Piper and Alex couple.
It’s a mish-mash holiday. Basically these days the point is fun. Doesn’t matter if it’s scary or not.
Oh okay. Thanks for clearing that up and good ! Because I don’t think I can take any more scariness from the US before November 8th.
Ha-ha-ha! Halloween is less frightening than electing the human jack-o-lantern. :P
Was totally a part of PB-Marceline duo in the past already, Ruby-Sapphire to go :D
I think double fisting must have a different meaning in the US than here in the UK?!
No, I think we share that slang. That’s part of the joke. ;)
People can interpret it in any way they wish ;)
I don’t think Kayla is that innocent, but all right. :D
OH NO it was my secret plan to dress as holtzmann just so i could more easily make out with someone else dressed as holtzmann!!! you have discovered me! (or, i am just wildly unimaginative)
I am scully4scully
THE THERESE COSTUME.
