Mundane Halloween is back!
Today is the "Mundane Halloween" contest in Japan, sponsored by website @dailyportalz
The idea is to dress up as something incredibly ordinary.
Here is a thread of some of my favorites from this year!
"Factory worker who wore a helmet all day"
"Person trying to go viral with a video of a cat riding a Roomba"
"Father who only wears that birthday present his daughter gave him for a few moments as he is leaving the house"
"Person who was about to be late for work, but then their train got delayed and now they are taking their time since they got a proof-of-delay ticket from the station"
"Store cashier who is forced to wear some sort of stupid cosplay for every single holiday"
"That strange girl from the 'My Neighbor Totoro' poster who is neither Mei nor Satsuki and never appears at any point in the movie"
"Person who can't find their Apple Pencil"
"Hachiko, the loyal dog who has been hidden away"
(The famous statue of Hachiko in Shibuya is currently covered up as part of a ham-fisted attempt to deter Halloween celebrations this year)
"Person who dropped their smartphone on their face"
"Uncool otaku girl in an American TV show"
"Person taking a hearing test at the doctor's office"
"Female character that will become beautiful once she takes off her glasses"
"Person on the way home from the public bath"
"Members performing at a meeting of an adult ukulele club"
"Person where you can't tell at first glance whether it's naginata or Japanese archery"
