also take care of your spooky black kitties since bad people hunt them.

This’ll be my first Halloween with my void. I never put two and two together until I started seeing Halloween decorations in stores and thought β€œhey, that looks like Apollo”. I’m now very excited to find ways to utilize him for a Halloween picture or something.

more light means more shadows

Um... No? 🀣

Sorta...

More dull point light sources in a mostly dark space gives more shadows (example, two street lights on a dark road), but you reach a point where the excess light overwhelms the shadows altogether.

In a literal sense, yes - shadows are the blind spots where a light source is obscured by an object, so more light sourced mean each object can cast an additional shadow.

If you omit the plural, then potentially more light means less shadow - since the shadows become generally less shaded, receiving more light overall.

However, we're ultimately talking about the metaphysical, so the definition of shadow might be more intricate (and philosophical). Are shadows about the lack of light, or about the contrast between light and dark? Does a completely enclosed room with zero light inside have any shadow, or is it that a shadow can only exist in the presence of light?

As a former monster under the bed, this is kinda racist. Not all of us like lush forest!

I mean I do, but some of us probably prefer other smells.

The monster under my bed better pay rent, I ain't running a shelter.

The monster under your bed defends you from the monster in the wardrobe, better keep it happy!

The wardrobe monster should finally come out, they aren't fooling anyone
