Can you believe Halloween is just under one week away? Back when I still went trick or treating (which, I am mildly ashamed to admit, was not that long ago), this would be about the time that my sister and I actually started putting together our costumes, which were either an eclectic mix of Value Village finds + old dance costumes, or recycled cosplay costumes that no one except anime fans could recognize. While I may not be dressing up as anything for Halloween this year, I did take the liberty of dressing up Pikachu in this super cute Halloween Pikachu Bento Box (which, I can assure you, is 1 million times cuter than anything I could’ve possibly worn). It’s a bento that serves as undeniable proof that Halloween + Pokemon should be on everyone’s trick-or-treating agenda (because squealing your vocal cords raw at Pokemon in costumes beats carving pumpkins any day, imo).

Okay, for reals: if this Sailor Moon Noodles Bento Box doesn’t have you shouting “moon prism power!” from the rooftops for all to hear in your very best pretty sailor soldier voice, then I haven’t done my job right. As a Sailor Moon superfan, I took it upon myself to produce the most elegant, magical girl infused bento box I possibly could, one that was a true ode to the celestial elegance that is Sailor Moon, that radiated edible powers of love and justice that no mortal being could resist. Just as Sailor Moon takes “cute and girly” to a whole new level of refinement, I too aimed to make this a bento that celebrated the cute side of femininity, that elevated all things pink to a “rose gold” tier of sophistication. I truly believe Sailor Moon noodles accomplish just that.

Okay, so I know Halloween is supposed to be all about “scary stuff” – creepy monsters, blood-sucking vampires, cackling witches – but who said it can’t also be a cute holiday? A holiday that, rather than scaring you with monsters, scares you with the physiological side effects that high-degree cuteness can produce (I’m talking heart-stopping, bone-crumbling, blood enters a fangirling-earthquake state kind of cuteness)? Through the power of bentos, I am determined to prove to everyone just how “scary cute” Halloween can be. We got off to a great start with the Candy Corn Onigiri. But Halloween cuteness just seriously leveled up thanks to this Witch Pusheen Bento Box.

Pokemon has always been a huge part of my life, ever since it first aired in Canada on YTV in 1998. I would devotedly watch every Saturday morning, never missing an episode, and would fill the Pokemon void during the week by collecting, organizing, and trading my precious Pokemon cards, of which I had somewhere around 850 (the fact that I still remember that number goes to tell you how seriously I took my collecting). I also had a not so low-key crush on Ash. My family never lets me forget that one.

Fun fact: little grade 2 me wanted to be a paleontologist when she grew up. Needless to say, that goal didn’t exactly pan out – Jurassic Park kind of scared me away from the profession. However, I think I just may have taken a step closer to my grade 2 occupational dreams with this bento box, which combines my dormant love of dinosaurs with my present day love for Pusheen the Cat. Say hello to the friendly feline herbivore “Pusheenosaurus” (AKA Dinosaur Pusheen), a rare species of dinosaur who’s ready to fill your next bento box with ridiculous, lethal levels of cuteness.
