Technically you were closer than people usually are. Most people would write “Me and my boyfriend’s costume”, which is wrong but sounds right. Correctly it’s “My boyfriend’s and my costume”, as both have to be in the possessive, but it doesn’t roll nicely so u/shoogled has it nice

can we stop with the highlighter all over the face thing or is the glow part of the costume?

Agh no, that reminds me of that horrible picture of a naked guy on the beach with an octupus, followed by an even more horrible text, which i had just forgotten.

It should be "My and my boyfriend's costumes."

frogandbanjo t1_iudcga8 wrote
"Me and my boyfriend" is a perfectly acceptable compound noun, though.
"The costume being worn by both me and my boyfriend, together, collectively, as a couple," is a valid sentence (edit: well, a relevant fragment of one.) Yes, it uses the passive voice, which ordinarily isn't great, but its usage is intentional to get my point across.

Complete-Dimension35 t1_iudf01j wrote
Whenever you're naming multiple parties in which you are one, always put yourself last. "I/me and [whoever]" is always grammatically incorrect. "[Whoever] and I/me" is the correct structure.

As far as I’m concerned it isn’t a throwback; it’s simply the correct spelling. 😊

No. If it was one person, it would be “(this is) me in my Hallowe’en costume,” not, “(this is I in my Hallowe’en costume”.
X2Gen t1_iue73f0 wrote
Shoogled t1_iue7w3p wrote
Both are arguably correct but me is preferable. It can only be ‘my boyfriend and I’ if one is trying to say ‘this is my boyfriend and I’, accepting that the verb ‘to be’ takes the nominative case. But I presume you don’t usually say ‘this is I’ because that sounds like an affectation.
You would never say this is a picture of I. So you mustn’t say ‘this is a picture of my boyfriend and I.’

Ahh, yeah I do know her. I still think Oliva Wilde is a closer match lol

We were going to dress up as characters from the Boys either way, but a friend suggested this and we had to do it !
Shoogled t1_iuezcei wrote
I know what you’re getting at but I think you’re wrong to suggest it’s to do with grammar. Putting oneself after others in a list is stylistically better but not to do so isn’t incorrect.

Caught that.
And yet, it's an improvement on "I's":

halfveela t1_iug5v7x wrote
I don't normally nag about grammar like that but "my's" is particularly egregious and kind of hilarious. I hope it means ya'll had a fuckton of fun lol.
You just need to move that possessive ('s) from after "my" (because "my" is already possessive) to after "boyfriend" instead and your sentence is perfect.

Be prepared for lots of gore, swearing and sex.
It's honestly one of my favourite shows.
I also recommend Invincible if you liked it, both on Prime video. Very similar shows and very different shows at the same time.
