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.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
