Autumn Tag!

Hello everyone!

Happy 1st Day of Meteorological Autumn! To celebrate the approach of my favourite season, I will be answering some autumn tag questions! What is your favourite season?

I got these question from a Youtube video by CozyKitsune. Feel free to answer any of them for yourself!

Spooky Autumn or Cozy Autumn?

I’m going to have to go with Spooky Autumn for this one. Not scary, just spooky. It’s the best way to get in the mood for Halloween.

Also, I like to be cozy all the time – so spooky feels much more specific for Autumn.

An Autumn Activity You’d Like To Try?

I’ve never been to a pumpkin patch, so I’d really like to do that.

Some other activities I’d really like to try is a hayride, and visiting a haunted house attraction.

Ghoul, Ghost, or Monster?

Monster, most definitely. Preferably a werewolf, a chubby werewolf who travels around with a vampire. If his name is Duke, then all the better. (Wink if you know what that reference is.)

I’ll always choose monsters, mostly because I find most of them super fascinating, and I’m a big fan of monster films, all the way from Dracula to Godzilla (King of the Monsters).

Favourite Animated Spooky Film?

The Halloween Tree. I haven’t actually watched it in a while, but it will always be my favourite.

It is based on a story by Ray Bradbury and follows a group of children as they search for a friend and learn about the various world traditions around Halloween time. I recommend it if you’ve never seen it.

Gore, Supernatural, or Thriller?

Definitely supernatural. I don’t mind gore at all, but I definitely favour supernatural – they tend to be spookier over all.

One of my favourite films to watch around Halloween is Sleepy Hollow by Tim Burton, which is a very spooky, supernatural film.

Something You’re Excited to Wear this Autumn

I have a black mesh/slightly transparent blouse that has velvet coffin details on it that picked up earlier this year. I am super excited to wear that.

I’m also excited in general to get to wear my favourite styles of clothing, including sweaters and jeans, thanks to the weather cooling down.

A Song that Reminds You of Autumn?

Come Wayward Souls from the Over the Garden Wall OST. Actually any song from that soundtrack is a good Autumn song. Also, the main theme from Spirited Away by Studio Ghibli.

Also, oddly enough, Bad Day by Daniel Powter really puts me in an Autumn Mood.

What did you dress up as last Halloween?

Unfortunately, I did not dress up last Halloween.

Would you prefer your Arms or Legs to be Chilly?

I’m a human furnace, so I don’t really get chilly, but given the choice, I would rather my arms be chilly.

I feel as though it’s easier to do something about my arms being chilly.

Favourite Serial Killer?

If by favourite, you mean which one I find the most fascinating – that would have to be Peter Kurten – the Vampire of Dusseldorf. He committed at least 9 murders in Dusseldorf, Germany, in the year of 1929. You can probably figure from his nickname how he killed his victims.

I also find Elizabeth Bathory quite interesting as well. Mostly due to all the legend and superstition surrounding her – similar to Dracula.

Favourite Thing to Do in a Graveyard?

Not something I indulge in often, but honestly – just walking and enjoying the ambience. With the exception of military cemeteries – I find graveyards rather peaceful and calming. Sometimes I’ll just admire the craftsmanship of the tombstones.

Ever been on a Supernatual Tour?

No, but there are several places that I would greatly enjoy taking a tour of. For example. I’d love to on a tour of Alcatraz Island, Pennhurst Asylum and the battlefields of Gettysburg.

Favourite Autumn Leaf?

I grew up around a lot of sycamore trees (in all the places I lived) so I’d have to go with sycamore leaves.

It doesn’t hurt that they turn such beautiful colours in the Autumn.

Favourite Autumn Make-up Look?

I’d have to say a dark red, or grey, smoky eye look with a vampy lipstick. I usually stick with matte lipstick in the autumn – it’s the only season where I don’t think that gloss fits.

Below I’ve included some of the makeup that I like to wear the most during the Autumn.

The Sound of Falling Rain or a Crackling Fireplace?

Since I hail from a land where it is always raining (the British Isles) so hands down, I prefer the sound of falling rain. It never fails to make me feel calm and cozy.

Honestly though, I’ve always associated the sound of a crackling fireplace more with Winter than with Autumn.

And that’s all for the Autumn Tag questions! I’d love to see if you answer any of these for yourself.

Also, what are some of your favourite things about Autumn? Do you prefer Pumpkin Spice, or Apple Cider?

Diolch am ddarllen, and remember to stay nerdy my friends!
