Gigi Grant’s Diary- 13 Wishes (2013)

This Diary Belongs to: Gigi Grant

I wish you wouldn’t read my diary.

Name: Gigi Grant

School: Monster High

[S][S][H][H][H]

Stars and sands, I detest being bottled up. Patience is a chief virtue among genies- after all, we don’t know when we’ll next be found and released- but it can be a difficult one to maintain. One tried to pass the time in any way one can, but as the centuries fall away, it can be quite taxing on the mind… especially myself occupied is one of the reasons I decided upon keeping a diary, I would like to keep track of my wonderful times in the outside world, and all the lovely monsters I’ve met. It will be something pleasant to turn to when I am sad and lonely… which seems to be more and more often.

[S][S][H][H][H][H]

There are many wonderful things about being a genie- the power you command is immense, and the places you find yourself can be amazing. And making wishes come true! What could be better than that? But there is always a very sad part, too… returning to the lantern when your tasks are done. Even though I am able to grant 13 wishes to each finder I meet/ more than most of my kind!- the time always seems to pass too quickly. I just returned from assisting my newest finder, a sweet banshee girl who wanted nothing more than to be able to sing beautifully instead of wailing mournfully. The look on her face when she first heard her new voice was so surprised and joyful that it made us both burst out laughing! Since that was her one heart’s desire, it was difficult for her to think of other ways to spend her wishes, but together we found ways to grant good fortune on her friends and family as well. She even postponed using her last wish so that I could spend more time in the outside world with her. But as always, we had to say goodbye… Still it’s marvelous when one’s finder is someone who’s truly kind. My father once warned me that my finders may not always be so pure of heart, and that I may find their wishes difficult to grant- but also that it’s not the genie’s place to hide a finder’s wishes. The finder must choose his or her own way. Thus far I’ve been lucky, as all my finders’ desires have been good natured (or at the very least, harmless), but I dread the day I will hear an ill-meant wish.

[S][H][H][S]

In the lantern there is an endless expanse of sand, and the palace that I call home. Well, I sat endless, but it doesn’t really end or begin anywhere. Once, when I was very, very bored, I set out from my home, intending to find the end of the world inside the lantern- but after an hour’s walk, I came back upon the palace I’d started from the other side, as if I’d gone around in a circle. It was very disorienting. I’ve tried it again a handful of times, but it’s no use. The lantern is entirely self-contained, and I am contained within. It has its perks, of course- my palace is beautiful, and, of course, I can rearrange it however I choose. If I want a swimming pool, or a room filled with ice cream, or a closet full of jeweled gowns, I need only nod my head. But without someone to share it with, it all seems very empty. In my world in the lantern, I can make nearly anything I want… nearly anything, that is, except a friend.

[S][H][H][H][H][S]

I will never understand the desire for finders to wish for more wishes.

A) It never works and

B) it really annoys your genie.

Besides, I grant 13 wishes per finder, which I think is quite a lot by genie standards! Some finders have told me of legends that genies grant three wishes only, but I’ve heard of genies who can only grant one- and some who can grant even more than me! Of course, genies are quite rare, and we don’t often meet. Perhaps it depends on the magic of the lantern we’re bound to, or perhaps our own inborn magic… Hmm. I suppose in many ways, I am still learning about my powers myself. Maybe I’m capable of things even I’m not aware of. Still, though, I wish that monsters would not stop wishing for exponential wishes. It will simply never happen. Myself, I only have one wish… and, oh, you can probably guess what it would be.

[S][S][H]

How did the stranger know my heart’s desire? Why did the finder decide to listen to him? How could I have been so lucky? I do not know- what I do know is that now I have a friend, and my long solitude within the lantern is at last at an end, thanks to that kind finder’s wish. Her name is Whisp, and she is my own shadow- brought to life during the Shadow Eclipse, and with a mind and will of her own. It’s strange, you would think my shadow would be the exact same as me, but Whisp is most definitely one of a kind- she is clever, mischievous and funny, and bursting with new ideas. I’ve hardly had time to write, we’ve been having so much fun together. Yesterday we raced camels across the sands, and today she wants to repaint the main hall of the palace puce, just to see how it would look. And anything she can think of, I’m happy to do- she seems to have some magic of her own, but it’s not as strong as mine. Still, I think with time, she can learn… and we have all the time in the world.

[S][S][H][H][H]

Whisp is angry with me. It’s the first time she has ever been angry with me… at least, I think so. The finders are the problem… or rather, the way I come and go with their desires is the real problem. Whisp’s power has been growing, but as of yet, she hasn’t been able to emerge from the lantern with me. She’s angry that I don’t take her with me when I go- but because I have no warning when I’m summoned and can’t return to the lamp until I have completed my tasks, I am unable to. I understand her sadness… after all, I know how it feels to be left alone. But in this matter, I am powerless, and I think she cannot imagine that I am powerless in anything. After all, she sees me working great magic in the lantern all the time. Her anger upsets me, but I can't imagine we won’t be able to work it out. She’s my best friend… I don’t want to lose her.

[H][S][H][S]

I thought having Whisp was a dream come true… but she’s become a nightmare. Whisp has been concealing her strength from me- she had grown more powerful than I realized. On my most recent summons to the outside world, she followed me- and to my horror, began to corrupt the finder, whispering dark thoughts and changing her desires, making her wish for evil things. As a genie I cannot influence a finder so… but Whisp is strong, and has no such limitations on her powers. If it weren’t for the magic mirror, I shudder to think what could have become of the world outside, plunged into eternal shadow… Thank goodness the finder came to her senses, and wished us both returned inside. For now, Whisp is hiding from me- she has her side of the palace, and I have mine, but I fear that she may soon control the world inside the lantern, I know she cannot, would not harm me- or at least, I hope not- but I am afraid of what may happen should she grow even stronger. I must try protect the finders from her influence, no matter the cost… but u do not know how difficult that will be, especially as I am unable to warn them directly. Stars and sands, what can I do?

The Very First Day of November

How strange it is to finally date an entry… to finally exist as part of the world, rather than apart from it! So much had happened… today will be my first day of school, with my new friends, and with hope for a new start. It is stran free being a genie without a lantern… my powers are unfettered, but I’ve had to promise Headmistress Bloodgood that I will keep any magic to a minimum on campus, which is probably for the best. She says they’ve never had a genie as student before, and that it will be an interesting learning experience for everyone. For me, especially, I think :) Clawdeen tried to warn me that I will find school “like, so deadly boring” after granting wishes for so long, but I told her that after being locked in a lantern for centuries is much fuller than any Bite-ology class could ever hope to be! (Frankie said I probably shouldn’t mention that to the teachers, though… they might take it as a challenge.) For now, I am closing the book in this diary and starting a new one- filled with excitement and new friends, and new ways of making my own wishes come true.

About Me

Name: Gigi Grant

Age: Dad says I’m 15, but he lost my birth certificate somewhere between Darius the Great and Julius Caesar, so I’m really not sure.

Monster Parent: The Genie.

Killer Style: Natural fabrics, especially silk, in bright colors. I’m also big on halter-tops, baggy pants and slippers. Basically, I’m all about comfort. Of course, I can’t be a total slob, cause I never know when I’m going to have to pop out for a meeting with the new boss.

Freaky Flaw: It’s not a real stretch to guess that I’m claustrophobic. Being stuck in a lamp for millennia will do that to you.

Pet: A scorpion called Sultan Sting. Don’t let the name fool you — he’s actually quite unpretentious.

Favorite Activity: I love to go sightseeing. It’s always a bonus when a monster wishes to take a trip to someplace I haven’t already been.

Biggest Pet Peeve: That wishing for extra wishes thing. As if 13 wishes isn’t enough.

Favorite School Subject: Astronomy- I love space. It’s just so open and un-stoppered.

Least Favorite School Subject: Driver’s Ed. It’s not so much the class but the tiny car you have to drive.

Favorite Color: I love peaches and gold’s.

Favorite Food: My father’s secret recipe hummus and fresh baked pita. Even after all this time I have never grown tired of it!

BFF’s: I wish I could name just one.

also related to the ears thing–ripper has horns bc i thought it'd be cool to explore how in river's diary she writes about how if a reaper breaks the oath of neutrality they get their scythe taken away and spend the next thousand years thinking about what they've done.

the horns are basically a reminder of what the reaper has done. they are permanent, meaning that they will have to face their actions forever, even after the thousand years. it makes it more dramatic and impactful i guess? like if they get their scythe back, and start transporting people through worlds, the people being transported will know they've broken the oath (and other reapers),which can make it interesting to see if reapers with horns would be embarrassed to go outside, or if they'd hide them...maybe some of them don't regret it and fully own up to it, and others are more ashamed and still feel guilty/uncomfortable looking back on it.

it brings up questions like are having horns frowned upon? do they get separated from their families for breaking the oath?

edited some things for grammar and added paragraph breaks (i literally just wrote a big block of text jfc)....also the diary excerpt i mentioned!! (thank you @mhdiaries u are a LIFE saver)

MH Hopes and Screams

🔥Holt💙Hyde🔥 My beloved Cameos/Small parts

Hot Couture Cameo:

Holt Hyde is a freaking trend setter

Stage fright Cameo:

I like how it's a 'if you know, you know' kind of thing. We don't see 👀JJ💛turn into HH💙. Very subtle.

Scream it all about Cameo:

Cutie cheering for his friends ☺️

I really appreciate that both JJ and HH are featured throughout the story AND they both get separate main story lines!

...

I'm back on my Monster High BS! Bet you thought you could get rid of me! Ha! My hyper fixations never rest as long as they are being fed. And I just discovered Hopes and Screams sooooooo... 😈

Generations Entry #4

EYyyyyyy! Disco here.

Look who decided to drop on in on this faithful day. Queen of the Land as she is know for most. A Caravan Leader was just ambushed by one tearing her business a new one. She said she wasn't really the gettin' mad type, but she was more of the gettin' even type! To each their own I guess.

With that said, I do remember my first encounter with fighting a Rathian in the past back in Tri. It wasn't even a quest to hunt one to begin with! Crazy enough it was a hunt for a Qurupeco. Dang dingus was losing the fight and decided to emulate the cry for help and dialed 911 for support. Little to my surprise, that Rathian wreaked me..... Good times. haha

OH! Also forgot to mention! The Rathian set is all finished! Can’t wait to use it in action.

MH Live action Spoilers:

How I felt watching the MH live action movie trying to be supportive, but dying a little inside every time Jekyll and Hyde were brought up.

I just want my boys back! 😭😭 Where are they??

Blink twice if you need help! 💙🧑‍🎤🧑‍🔬💛👁️👁️

The movie literally mentioned their grandparents MULTIPLE TIMES. They had a freaking SONG about them. AND they introduced Mr. Kono as Hyde's SON. (aka Jackson and Holt's Uncle!)

The boys would have been PERFECT characters for this movie. They would have fit in with the message and the world. 😤 In a perfect world, they would be the main characters.😤

I was today years old when I found out Jackson x Toralei wasn't a Crack-Ship.

I didn't realize there was actually canonical content for this. I just thought a bunch of people really liked the "Nerdy Boy-Bad Girl" vibe and just slapped them together 🤷‍♀️

...

Now I know WHY people ship them:

Finding out the ORIGINAL Monster High live action movie (2013) was supposed to center around Jackson Jekyll and Holt Hyde

Me @ Mattel & Universal:

Where is the Screenplay?! We need the damn Screenplay! 😤

...

They took the ideas from the OG script and turned it into the MH 2022 version we have today.

The premise of the OG was about JJ/HH being half normies!

They literally just gave that plot line to Clawdeen, changing the lore and shoving compelling characters out of the way!!!

...

Why is the universe so cruel??? 🥲😭

Generations Entry #3

Ooooooiiiiii!

Disco here. back and enjoying the ride. Can't say to many interesting things happened around this time. I DID on the other hand finish the gunner Khezu set with the bow. The armor is really interesting! I really like the headgear for it. The only thing that I really don't like about it is the fleshy shield... who knows what part that came from. (wish it also had the white flabby skin tone as the rest of the set.)

^Art by Hiro Mashima

ANYWHO... gave a quick spin with hunting some Velocidrome in the Verdant Hills. These creatures are pretty quick on their toes. As a bow user, I couldn't keep the right distance for max damage to save my life. With the help of some close range coatings I could close the distance and finish them off.
