Gold curse x Skeleton curse

I understand that skeleton curse and gold curse are difficult in their own right but I feel like it’s slightly wasted when I have to choose between being a skeleton or having the gold curse equipped. I think that level 1000 should absolutely be kept as the way to get a golden skeleton but I also feel there should be some kind of way to incorporate both into one to keep me mentally sane while I work towards it. A solution could be a partially gold skeleton as in only certain patches are gold. It wouldn’t be nearly as big as a flex as the full gold skeleton but it would certainly still be impressive and would help the gold curse feel a little bit more worth it if you also wanted to be a skeleton. (Same thing could be done for ghost curse)
