Full wizard or druid get up with the robes and walking staff, it's a must.

[–] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

Druids and wizards are definitely on the cards

Communist Lorax

edit: carry an AK, "i speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues. I shoot for the trees, for the trees have no thumbs."

No trees will be harmed if the Lorax is armed

[–] dm_me_your_boobs@lemm.ee 15 points 2 years ago

Tree hugger. But with like one of those "free hugs" signs. You're the tree.

Winnie the Pooh. Red shirt, no pants (depends on the vibe)

[–] AlicePraxis@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

it would take entirely too much effort to pull off but my first thought was the faun from Pan's Labyrinth

[–] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

yeah I thought of that too but yeah too hard to make

An Ascended Vegan

A Branch Viridian

definitely considering it, even as part of a different costume

if my social battery runs out I can just blend into the foliage

[–] ickis@midwest.social 6 points 2 years ago

Exactly! Find a clearing and lay it out for a quick nap.

Really depends on the crowd and goal, I'd think. You got your horror characters like Jason and Texas Chainsaw dude. Pretty much any fairytale character. Could get the bear fucker costume from Super Troopers. Could be a leftist Guerilla. Could be a nudist. Idk.

[–] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

More of an ethereal vibe like living trees and shrooms and fairies and moons and all that stuff

I usually go as something dumb that only technically fits the vibe though

A bear wearing a popes hat

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

This has layers.

[–] iie@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

go as a tree disguised as a lumberjack and then walk around whistling innocently

[–] ElGosso@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

get people to take pics with me

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

sneak into the background of as many pics as you can

[–] ElGosso@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

And what would fit into a spooky forest theme better than a cryptid?

[–] Main@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

Go as a garden gnome

[–] FnordPrefect@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

Get a Star Trek outfit and go as Dr. Bones McCoy! Get it? DeForest Kelley?..

I'll see myself out

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

One of these little mushroom guys from Dark Souls

[–] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

Could go with a Cthulhu cultist.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

You 100% must go as big foot.
