#I also think it’s cool that Frankie is non binary in gen 3

[bloodandfleshautism]

man I’m usually not a huge fan of the new gen monster high dolls compared to the old ones (not that they’re bad, I just liked the more alternative fashion and darker aesthetic of the old ones. And also those are the ones I grew up with) BUT they went OFF with the Venus design like. Her new hair is so cute!!! I’ve never seen a doll with a protective hairstyle before (not that I’m super into dolls anymore) and her hair looks so pretty. I also love the sculpt they gave her with the vine textures and I also really like the new sculpts in general for the new gens bc it’s nice to see some dolls that aren’t stick thin for once, especially ones that I grew up loving so much. If I had dolls that actually had fat on their bodies like mine when I was a kid I genuinely think I probably would’ve grown up with fewer body image issues lmao

Anyway that was my little mh rant/appreciation for both new and old versions and also just. Venus bc I’ve always rly liked her bc I rly liked flytraps when I was a kid lmao

My stance on Monster High G3:

I think it's amazing that Frankie can be representation for those who don't follow the gender binary. That is SO COOL!! I'm happy M.at.tel has been allowing queer characters to shine this day in age. I also love that more body types are being shown as well as various mental conditions.

However, nothing about it save for the designs really speaks to me like Gen 1. And you know, that makes sense. Gen 3 is more suited for the youth of the present. Gen 1 had to be mostly implied with its LGBT rep, but it was still magical and nostalgic for a lot of us.

I don't write Gen 3 Frankie, but I welcome Gen 3 blogs! I myself don't identify as non-binary, so I don't want to speak on issues I don't personally go through through writing, but I love to see those more informed portraying the character.

Please don't be discouraged from following. As someone who is so used to things being 'implied' or lowkey, I'm ecstatic that G3 is able to do things G1 was never allowed to. And yes; making Frankie the non-binary character does not feel forced and I think it makes complete sense.

My Frankie is an ace, heteroromantic ally and will support any monster's journey through gender identity and orientation.

As it stands, I admire G3. It's doing some really wonderful things. I'll always stan G1, but no one should be angry or up in arms about change. It happens, we're getting old, concepts get outdated, things become different, but everything you loved about G1 is still there, untouched.
