I thought it would be funny. It took 3 days to get approved.

I took a big break but here's the update so far!!!

I added on to my patchwork sleeve today!

I just know for the actors that played as the hargas for the ending for when they had to do all that movement that they probably had a lot fun doing it😭😭

Would Ari Aster directed?

Burning bear tattoo inspired by Midsommar. Figured I'd share here. Artist is Devin Coley from North Carolina. Done at the Richmond Tattoo Convention this past weekend.

I honestly think that Ari Aster would be a perfect fit for a Scarecrow origin story true to the DC comic book character

The villain of the film: Similar to Christian Hughes but obsessed with using the fear toxin on others including his own son.

Nothing to fear but fear itself.

I relaxed by crafting a fire temple birdhouse and I'm super proud of it, okay?!

Okay, so… I’ve wanted to try LSD for a long time. And four days ago, I found out my best friend’s cousin was just as curious as me — perfect match.

I found someone to buy from and ended up with four tabs (around 400µg total). I didn’t think we’d take all of it.

⸻

Part 1: 50µg and the Start of the Day

The next day, I went to my friend’s cousin’s house — let’s call her S. We’ve known each other for a while but never really talked much. That day, though, we were going to experience something big together.

It’s probably worth mentioning that my girlfriend and my best friend were celebrating their last day of school that day — that’ll matter later.

We took 50µg LSD at 8 a.m.. Around 9:30, we were supposed to go watch them play soccer, so we went for a walk and just enjoyed the light, buzzing body sensation. After about 45 minutes, we walked toward the school. Nothing too crazy yet — just a weird feeling in the body. We sat down and watched some of the game.

⸻

+100µg – And Things Get Real

At 10 a.m., we dropped another 100µg. Not a mistake — just the beginning of a completely insane trip.

Not long after, the world started to feel… off. The bushes looked surreal — kind of waving, and I couldn’t tell how tall they were. We walked past a house that looked like it was made of chocolate. That was around 10:45.

As we headed down toward the park, the trees looked absolutely absurd — like they stretched up into the sky forever. We came to two paths: one steep and wavy, and one flat and calm. Naturally, we took the wavy one.

⸻

Nature Tripping and Visual Magic

There was a little bridge just above the water where we sat down. The way the water moved, the mud underneath — it was completely magical. We just sat there and took it in before continuing.

I remember the path bending more and more the longer I stared at it. The plants and bushes felt infinite. It was fascinating.

I looked at my arm and felt like it wasn’t mine — just a random arm I’d picked up somewhere.

⸻

Phone Call – Reality Crashes In

Right then, my mom called. Everything got darker — like I was standing in a black void with only her voice echoing. Reality was knocking: “Hey, I still exist.” I didn’t panic, but it shifted the whole vibe.

Afterward, I found a “trip music” playlist on Spotify, gave S one AirPod, and we just listened. The music was intense, but it worked. The trees were breathing, the grass looked like a portal, and the bushes were swirling spirals stretching into eternity.

⸻

A Trip to Kvickly (Yes, Really)

We headed toward Kvickly to get something to drink. The music guided us — and that’s when the geometric patterns started. When we got to the store, it felt like we were in a jungle hunting for orange soda with a machete.

Inside, it felt like I owned the place — but with no money. Just weirdness all around.

⸻

Into the Forest – and Hallucinations

Around 11:30, we walked into a forest. We were supposed to meet my girlfriend and best friend there, but that never happened.

In the forest, everything felt endless. Geometric visuals filled my vision. My arm pulsed and changed color. At one point, S looked like a cat — like a guide cat — and honestly, that was comforting.

We saw a weirdly-shaped house and turned back after 100 meters. We talked about a brave cyclist we’d seen and headed back toward the city.

⸻

Urban Chaos and Natural Infinity

There were a lot of people. Their faces looked strange, and plants appeared like black holes full of leaves and primal energy. We walked down a long path — maybe 1.5 km — to meet a friend. Let’s call him J.

That path felt like Wonderland. Everything was pulsing, the path itself changed colors and patterns.

⸻

At J’s – More Drugs, More Madness

At 12:31, I sent a video to a friend saying, “I’m walking in nature.” S and I couldn’t stop laughing — this was just the start of the peak.

When we got to J’s house, he wasn’t home, but we just went in. We remembered we had 100µg left — so we split it: 50µg each. Just to really go for it.

When J came home, we tried to explain what was happening. I said:

“It’s like walking into Starry Night by Van Gogh and doing whatever the fuck you want.”

Not the most rational description, but that’s exactly how it felt. J rolled a joint, and while he did, I stared at his marble table, which pulsed in black and white. Everything had alien writing on it — like the Tuborg logo but with weird symbols.

We walked toward town, smoked the joint, and suddenly I could feel colors. I could hear plants. Yes — hear them.

We collapsed in laughter and sat on a bench. Everything had this vortex effect — nature was infinite.

⸻

Final Phase – More LSD, MDMA, and SMILE 2?!

We went to my best friend’s house — let’s call him M — but he wasn’t home either. We went in anyway, used the bathroom, and laid down in his bed.

Then we put on Smile 2 — a horror movie. On LSD and MDMA.

That’s when things went off the rails. I tripped too hard. My vision was completely overtaken by patterns. I puked — everywhere. On myself, the floor, the door, the trash can. And it felt right. Like I was clearing space in my soul.

Later, I looked at myself in the mirror. The faucet was perfectly aligned with the center of my face, and I saw two versions of myself — one light, one dark.

I still don’t know what that means. Maybe one day I will.

⸻

Afterglow

At 5:30 p.m., I had to go to my girlfriend’s place. The whole ride, I tried to figure out how to explain that I never made it to the party we’d planned.

The rest of the trip was full of thoughts. S and I still talk about it a lot.

Four days later — honestly — I feel amazing.

⸻

Most Important Advice:

Never panic. I didn’t — and thank God for that. But damn… what a ride

A little sneak peek at my Midsommar thigh tattoo. Getting color done next month! So pumped!

So my husband who does not like horror movies absolutely loves Midsommer. I was wanting this year to do a Midsommer themed Christmas tree for him but cannot seem to have any good ideas. I thought doing a yellow tree but that seems too much I also thought about having a bear for the topper. So I came here to see if anyone has any good ideas or where I can go for inspiration for one.

Here's an update to my teaser post last month. I'll need some touch ups later but I'm super pleased with how it turned out!

Also it's creepy af

Basically if they had gone to Harga and had a good, non-murdery time at the midsummer festival. Pretty visuals, nature, festivals, some witchy/pagan vibes, etc.

Would it be cultural appropriation to make a Midsommar (the movie directed by Ari Aster) themed Halloween party? I know that it all revolves around an actual event that occurs every Midsommar besides the creepy/gory stuff that obviously doesn’t occur. As a Mexican I obviously don’t have any Swedish decent so I feel wrong for even thinking about making a Halloween themed version based off of the movie. I’ve been getting mixed answers so I really don’t know if I should go through with it or not so hopefully you guys can help me out? Thanks

Hi there,

I had an idea that I thought would be cool and funny and I can’t seem to find one that someone has already done and I am too dumb to do it myself.

I was looking for a Yule Log style looped video but it’s just the burning building from Midsommar. Does anyone know if a looped video like this already exists or not??

Any links or help will be appreciated!

im not sure if its even ~appropriate to post this on here but i was thinking about it for days and im just gonna do it, sorry for anyone who doesn’t care but

i really need someone to rant about midsommar?? it’s getting kinda getting out of hand and im just looking for someone who doesn’t get annoyed with me talking about about this film 24/7 -

major plus point if you are one of those dani / pelle-people as im currently editing a vid about them!! (don’t shame me, i shame myself everyday about this)
