Nevermind this post I fixed the problem up above

~Death~


My inspiration is Death.
Right after Halloween Da de los Muertos starts. Day of the dead is all about remembrance of friends and family members who have died.
Death is also a big part of Halloween, or it was in the old days.
It used be celebrated in the Celtic Irish holiday Samhain, Samhain was a New Years celebration held in the fall - a sort of seasonal acknowledgment of the annual change from a season of life to one of death.
When Roman Christian missionaries began to convert the Celtic people, local holidays were co-opted into their's. All Saints Day, formerly celebrated in mid-May, was moved to Nov. 1 as a way to tame the wild Celtic tradition of Samhain - All Saints Day is a celebration of all the dead who have attained heaven in the Catholic tradition.
But the rowdiness of Samhain proved difficult to dislodge, so the Catholic Church tacked on All Souls day on Nov. 2 - to offer prayers for those who were stuck in purgatory. This three-day celebration began on the evening of Oct. 31, eventually becoming All Hallows Evening in reference to the holy days to follow.
When the Spanish colonized what is now Mexico, they used the same strategy, taking indigenous rituals and co-opting them into the church - creating what we know today as Da de los Muertos. In both instances the holidays retained their focus on the ritualistic recognition of mortality and honoring the dead, with the church as arbiter of the afterlife.

A lot of traditional things once done on Halloween have been replaced by trick or treating and Halloween parties - while other things such as fortunetelling and communication with the departed have been made into an attraction rather than part of a celebration.

Instead we celebrate the living on Halloween not the dead as we once did.

That is why my inspiration is Death.

This is my Undead Ryori, based off the undead. (One of my biggest fears so don't want to add photos)

Inspired by the banshee ghosts - example picture

I saw a pattern in the carpet on the floor that looked like a jack 'o lantern with a ghost next to it.
