Book-of-arts04 - Snowflakes Of Art

That would explain a lot actually. Especially if it was a parent or sibling or other family member. And what if he didn't know how to turn them back from pumpkin to human again before the pumpkin rotted away or was squashed? The guilt has to be eating at him.

I like this theory! Nice one @the-necromancer-wife! This could explain also why he has pumpkin bags- to keep them safe while he walks. He couldn't keep them safe before with walking, so he carries a bag to ensure the safety of whoever is in the pumpkin now.

OKAY HEAR ME OUT (please)

TW: Trauma//Psychological analysis

For someone so obsessed with the idea of true horror, Skully has an amazingly non-scary Unique Magic.

I mean, I tried. I tried imagining something scary about being turned into a pumpkin. You can't move your limbs, you're confined into that round shape that can be crushed if someone steps too hard on you. Still didn't seem an Unique Magic someone as him would have. Someone that gave such a dark speech about what halloween should be about.

And I thought about his words...

"Halloween is always serious and solemn, isn't it? So first, remove all the decorations. Then, paint the room completely black to recreate the atmosphere of night."

"The only thing they have left to survive the night is a single pumpkin, which they rely on to light a fire in the emptiness. Then you will feel a creeping fear..."

When I read those words for the first time I wondered why he mentioned a pumpking instead of a regular candlelight.

But seeing his unique magic, plus the fact he's still not very proficient with it, made me wonder further:

What if Skully turned someone into a pumpking? Someone he cared about. Someone who was important for him. And then, because he's still learning to control his magic, he couldn't turn them back.

What if he stood alone, in the dark, the pumpkin in his hands, shaking and completely terrified because of what he just did?

And what if this happened on Halloween Night, october 31?

That would explain his take on what Halloween should be about. I mean, for him, is not a time for celebration. It's a reminder of the mistake he made. And he said that himself:

"It is for reflecting on one's actions and atoning for them. It's meant for fear."

It would be entirely possible that he repeated the experience over and over, every year, making a funeral out of this day is his coping mechanism.

Additionally, he's doing what is called "Repetition Compulsion" according to Sigmund Freud (i know psychoanalysis is not the best psychology school but i very much prefer it) where the individual may place themselves in the same situation repeatedly, even if it is something they would prefer to avoid. And that includes repeating trauma.

Of course this compulsion can be considered a coping mechanism but also has a lot of other factors such as emotional dysregulation or being a consequence of a certain personality trait.

And why seeking this situation instead of avoiding it? Well, trauma manifest in different ways for each individual and some of them unconsciously seek out reminders of their trauma as a way to gain clousure.

According to Bowins B. in "Repetitive maladaptive behavior: beyond repetition compulsion":

By re-experiencing the trauma, they link the past to the present and they are able to gain some type of mastery or resolution. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case, and instead, people find themselves stuck in a pattern of maladaptive behavior.

Plus, imagine if the anniversary of something so tragic coincidentally is the day of a major celebration. Everyone laughing and singing and enjoying themselves and then there's Skully. He has nothing to celebrate for.

Space and books for me!😁

autistic folks! what's your main special interest?

if you don't know which one to choose or if you have multiple; which one do people generally associate with you?

if you still aren't sure; which one is your oldest one?

reblog with what you put + any more info you wanna give :)

Be honest here, who else hates it when you're just trying to do your job and people accuse you of giving an attitude or something? Like lady! I ain’t checking your bag! I'm just making sure things are in their proper place, my goodness!

Reblog if this happened to you.

When your werewolf boyfriend accidentally knocks stuff over with his tail because it's wagging so hard when he sees you. ♡

Me too Amiga. Me too.

I feel like the worst person in the world when I hurt someone, I feel like there is something holding me to the ground when I'm about to apologize, I feel so ashamed

I kinda wanna see this go down!

I'm not that well versed in the comic book world nor a shipper, but I get these cool friend vibes from them:

•they definitely try to do arson every now and then for stress relief.

•Lian will try to braid Jason's hair just for the fun of it. Bonus points if it's just his white streaks!

•Jason definitely dragged Roy into the world of Jane Austin writing and they often huddle in blanket forts with Lian just to either read them silently or to her.

• and yes, they make blanket forts. For the fun of it. Their other friends will probably help out.

•I do think they try to ask Lian who is their favorite. She will not tell.

And that's all I can think of! Thank you for your time.

Seriously stop posting j*yroy it's literally the worst ship out there

You guys are really annoying, you know that? Lucky for me, annoying is where I live, and I just got a recent bonus that I feel like burning.

So here's what we're gonna do:

From now until 11:59 PM EST on Halloween (Oct. 31st), I want the folks reading this to reblog with your favorite Jayroy headcanons. The fluff, the angst, the crackpot humor, all of it. For each reblog this post gets, I will donate $1.00 USD to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund to aid the victims of the ongoing genocide.

BONUS: if you want me to reblog your headcanon with my own "yes and," just make a donation yourself at the link above and DM me a screenshot of the final page as proof (personal info omitted of course). It can be any amount, even just a dollar/euro/whatever denomination you use.

I believe in us. We have the power of gay ships and spite on our side.
