MUSIC I LISTEN: Goodbye Deponia OST - Dark and Dirty Fairytales

This is my tribute to the last day before November. A large part of us celebrate this day as "Halloween"
But does anyone know a little bit why Halloween got this name?

To think about it's a feast which it has its origin in Ireland which might has its roots even in the time of the ancient Celts. Sometimes it was used to known as "Samhain". Then the name developed into Hallow 'een and later Halloween we know nowadays. In the ancient times the last day was celebrated as the day of the return of the souls of the dead.
I haven't researeched that much but Halloween means "All Hallows' Eve" - virtually, the evening of all hallows and souls before "All Saint's Day" and "All Soul's Day". In other words these days are the days we should think of the dead, family, friends and other related people who has passed away. I wouldn't say that these days are a day of mourning. Either they're Remembrance Days.

And maybe this could be a good draft to make my picture for Halloween. Since the loss of her parents as she was young, my main FC Starlet still thinks of her parents. Even if they're dead they're still there with her - because I think they're only dead if they'll be forgotten ...

By the way, the design of her coat is officially made by Blue-DT AT: Starlet by Blue-DT

I'm not a person for a well speech. But I guess reading the description and taking a look of my current picture it shows that this day is actually more than a day of creepy and spooky things, getting stuff which even will rot your teeth by looking at them - No offence, getting some sweet stuff is good :D and it also has an old tradition.

So yeah, this is my thought of this day.
Celebrate a lot and get loads of sweet stuff. And a happy Halloween to everyone :pumpkin:
