Halloween Double Feature
Every October in elementary school, I've always looked forward to the Halloween party in class. Each one of us had a bag full of goodies and also had yummy treats. I grew up in the 1990s and despite my love for this holiday, my parents refused to let me, or my youngest siblings dress up. The ridiculous and laughable reason they told us back then was that because they "didn't believe in it" due to their religious beliefs. I never understood what their beliefs had to do with us wanting to be in costume. Having Halloween parties at school? Acceptable. Wanting to dress up for the special day and go trick-or-treating with the other children? Not a chance in hell. It was the double standard made by our parents that prevented us from experiencing that one part of our childhoods. Besides, you could only have one childhood. Fast forward to 2010 and I was attending Job Corps. On Halloween that year, which would be the first Halloween I celebrated as an adult, I went as Superman. There was a party at the gym, and we had a great time. To close out the evening, there was a Halloween costume contest, and cash prizes were awarded for first, second, and third place. Yours truly won the top prize, which was $50, while the others won $25 for second, and $15 for third. The victory was my very first costume contest win. Since then, I've dressed up for Halloween and have won five costume contests overall. I recently revealed my Halloween costume for this year. You can check out the full story of it in the link down below. 2026 will be my 17th year celebrating Halloween.

Savannah Bananas: 2026 Halloween Costume Reveal
Spooky season has officially arrived. I love fall because of two reasons: the colorful leaves falling off of trees and Halloween. After much anticipation, here's my costume for this year. I'm on a two-year company-wide Halloween costume contest winning streak at aiming for three wins in a row. When I told one of my coworkers that I was sticking with the baseball theme for Halloween, he was surprised. I explained to him that I was on a winning streak and determined to win this year. By the way, I didn't explicitly tell him that I was going as a Savannah Banana for Halloween. The one clue I could give him was something yellow.

Three Wandas, Three Paths
Wanda Maximoff has never been a simple character to pin down. Across her appearances in Marvel's comics and the MCU films alike, she has taken on countless roles—witch, mutant, Avenger, mother, daughter, sister, wife, lover, and villain. Yet at the heart of who she is, immense power always seems to coexist with devastating loss, since her family history and cultural roots are continually reimagined across different continuities.

The Cosplays That Never Made Their Convention Debuts
Last month, I returned to TikTok for the first time since February. I posted a video explaining to everyone that I would no longer post any cosplay videos or share any cosplay throwback videos on the platform. However, I would be available if anyone needs some cosplay advice or tips. I've done over 20 cosplays with some of them I debuted at cons. I'm still enjoying my post-cosplay retirement life and have no plans to return to the craft anytime soon. The following cosplays on this list are those that I came close to debuting online and at cons. Note, I won't be featuring mashup cosplays, as that will be reserved for a future story.

My Top 5 Cartoons That Aren’t Just for Laughs
As much as I love anime, I have to give a shout-out to cartoons as well. I have been watching them just as long as I have watched anime. What I have come to realize is that cartoons don’t have to be just for laughs. They can provide unique and thought-provoking stories too, which is represented in my top 5 favorite cartoons.

Ten Worlds Worth Living In
I have always preferred TV shows to movies. I feel that it allows you to live with the characters and watch them grow. TV works better at capturing the character's essence instead of trying to cram everything into 2-3 hours. The following are my favorite TV shows and the worlds that I loved having a chance to explore.

What 33 Years of Watching Anime Have Taught Me
It is amazing to realize that I have spent about 35 years watching anime. It was the first piece of media that I consumed on my own. I have watched so much, and it is amazing to see how far technology has developed to enable us to consume more. I remember when the only time you could watch anime in the US was if they showed it in the early hours on a local station. Then Toonami on Cartoon Network made big strides in anime and had numerous people, including myself, going through different options. When Toonami didn’t have something, I remember going through YouTube to find the anime that I wanted to watch.
