I guess it would depend on whether or not its done by big studios or independent artists and animators.

So for those who don't know, I have had digestive issues for the past several years (longer, really, the past couple years is when I started finally taking notice and doing something about it) that require me to stay far away from fructans, and to a lesser extent fiber. This means most vegetables and fruits that I could eat, I now have to avoid.
Originally my mother was a bit more tolerant of this.
Recently, however, she has been more and more 'worried' about me and trying to push me into eating foods that are clearly off-limits. And every time, the results are predictable - gastric distress.
This time, we tried broccoli again. Stuck with the florets, had only a tiny bowl... by the next day (mine is along the lines of a food sensitivity - more severe than an intolerance, but delayed-reaction unlike an allergy), I knew it was reacting badly. I informed her.
Among her usual cries to see a doctor about it (I have been seeing one about this whole debacle), she said "you shouldn't have to worry about what you can eat".
That's... not been what this was about. I've been eating wrong for over thirty years, hon, and there's been clear negative effects - including a near-miss with cancer polyps. The fiber and fructans are the cause of it, not the remedy! I spent two years of my life testing this and I'm not about to be belittled into submission by someone who has clearly been dismissing my digestive crises.
Given that I move out of the house (not far yet, just into a house that my brother moved out of) this weekend, and this move has been known for a while... I suspect it may not be actual diet worry. I suspect she may be freaking out because I'm even slightly out of her reach. (She's spoken about moving in with me in her old age in the past.)
She has to let go. The only way her son's going to outlive her is if she lets go.

I have a link cosplay hoodie but thats about it XD
I did the uno reverse though and walked around for a bit dumping it all into a few bags but then I got anxiety and curled up back home to cry ;~;
It's super dark now and I'm worried people will think I'm a creep for approaching these kids with mystery bags TuT

New Brunswick!
I spent most of my life growing up here and as a kid it was boring, but now that I'm a boring adult, I like the quiet. And I don't have to wait ten minutes to cross a road. XD

Is it pretty in New Brunswick?

I think it has a lot of locations that are pretty! Depends where you are, though.
Hopewell rocks is popular
There's TOO MANY nature trails and parks to list
I personally liked how Fredericton was set up. Uptown was busy with the major malls (walmart, bestbuy, etc) and Downtown, all the shops were niche and set up in neat little squares, making everything super close and easy to find. It also had a little bit of everything (art stores, geek/merch stores, restaurants of all price ranges). And then when you could walk 5-10 minutes and be right by the water and the walking bridge (where you can get to other major malls on the other side). There's also a lighthouse nearby.
The pics near the bottom of that website are kinda lame/cropped but I can't find photos that do it justice X(

In Canada you can live in a city and still be considered in the middle of nowhere! c:

We got one trick-or-treater. One. Shy little girl who just kind of moused "hello" and got a candy bar in her bucket.
I don't know if the neighbor kid came by in the like... 45 minutes or something boyfriend and I were out, or if he's decided he's too old (he's not even a teen yet!), or if they're going, like, some other day? But the last few years he's been coming, sometimes with a couple friends/cousins, so I noticed his absence.
But I'm used to trick-or-treat candy being one of those... I buy it so I'll have it to hand but I'll never hand it all out because it's not an entrenched cultural thing here the same way. (I don't think my neighborhood is super child-dense, either, so that probably contributes as well.)

Are we moomin, or are we dancer?
I bought dried fruit just in case of kids. They must have known and not bothered lol.
I wish the best for you, Firuthi. Good luck with your move, and I hope things improve with time.

Boyfriend says most popular thing he ever handed out for Halloween was tiny tubs of PlayDoh. Granted I guess PlayDoh does have in common with candy that it's not very good for you to eat in large amounts...

Friends came over with their kids and crossed on the rocks so of course i yell "GET OFF MY LAWN!" And then we laugh.
Next trick or treaters go, "oh stay on sidewalk or the madwoman will yell again."
Now, i feel like a bitch, am sad, and am laughing,

That's how I get candy to give to trick or treaters.

Well. This is probably a new milestone set in my life as being the worst Halloween I’ve ever head with the passing of my uncle today. While you all celebrate death, we mourn from it. Quite ironic it seems, isn't it?

Sorry for your loss.
