"Gotta Blast!"

7 Throwback Costume Ideas for the Nostalgic

Characters from Bob’s Burgers, Rick and Morty, Family Guy, etc. get a lot of recognition from their fans on Halloween. But, where’s the love for the throwback characters? I’m talking about Jimmy Neutron, Totally Spies and other cartoons a lot of us miss. If you love old cartoons and don’t have any costume ideas yet, this is the list for you.



1. Kids from Codename: Kids next door

Channel your inner ten year old by becoming a young agent who hates adults.If your one of those people with a huge group of friends, this is a good group costume. #squadgoals.

2. Jimmy Neutron & friends

The hair and the huge head might be a challenge, but it should be fun to pretend to be a genius for a day. If brain blasts aren’t your thing, there is always Carl and Sheen. For those couples out there, Cindy and Jimmy or even Sheen and Libby if you ship them would be a good fit. I wouldn’t recommend shipping Carl and Judy Neutron though.


3. Samurai Jack


Growing up, Samurai Jack was one of the coolest characters for me. He was a quiet badass who persevered through a lot of horrible situations. For those who don’t like socializing, you can use this character as an excuse to not speak for a whole day.


4. Kim Possible


“Call me, beep me if you wanna reach me.” She came with a catchy theme song and she was a good role model. The villains of this show were really cool too, so if you want to be evil for Halloween Shego is always an option.


5. Characters from Hey Arnold

Although this was a kid show, it had a lot of deep messages that you don’t pick up on until you’re an adult. Messages may be potential child hood ruiners for some, but knowledge is power, right? As far as costumes go, Arnold and Helga would be the most popular choice, but don’t forget about Gerald or the stoop kid.


6. Ed, Edd, and Eddy



What a beautiful coincidence that three boys with similar names live in the same cul de sac. If you can find three of your friends willing to play them, it means you have the greatest friends in the world. The only thing left to decide would be who plays the dumb one, the smart one, and lastly the leader.


7. Kids from Recess


This crew is not only tough, but they symbolize the struggles of growing up and finding your place in the world. These characters deserve a DIY video and some merchandise.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
