Some Scaris sketches

[sillyprettyfairy]

Thinking about how in Scaris a mediocre white woman hits up three teen girls of color with unique styles influenced by their respective cultures because of their clear talent and passion for their craft.

And instead of encouraging it, she makes every attempt to squash it. She is, at least from the perspective of the ghouls prior to her shady shit being found out, giving them the opportunity of a lifetime. A famous designer in one of the world's fashion capitals is offering to put them on her level. She'll give them exposure and resources and connections they would've likely never gotten otherwise.

But the trade-off isn't equal. This random woman who only wears black dresses tells these young girls with actual creativity and new ideas and a perspective she can never get, that in order to get on her level they need to abandon those things. The very talent they were scouted off of should be tossed aside in favor of producing the same kind of outfits she already makes over and over until the day they die.

And yet Clawdeen, a Black girl from the states, with her dreams aligning with her reality before her very eyes, is willing to make that trade.

Clawdeen second-guesses herself. Clawdeen, as she is on her way to meet a famous designer who hand-picked her, questions if she's worthy.

Madame Ghostier is successful. Of course she's right. I should just give in and do what she asks. She's the one with the expertise.

But one of my favorite scenes is when Jinafire and Skelita take Clawdeen's sketchbook out of the trash and ask her what she designs for. That if she does it as a means to express herself then why is she expressing Madame Ghostier's vision instead of her own.

All that to say the solidarity between Jinafire, Skelita, and Clawdeen in the movie is really nice to go back to. A very basic kid's movie "be yourself" theme that I find to have (likely unintentional) themes of poc solidarity and rejection of the "white way" of doing things.

Just remembered that the monster high movie where they were in monster france and everyone had horrible fake french accents and some evil fashion designer lady essentially esnlanved a teenage boy that was her apprentice like she had him locked in her basement designing clothes for her day in day out then she also tried to kidnap clawdeen to make her do the same, that movie apparently wasn't a really weird dream and actually exists

I’m watching the monster high movies and it’s crazy how often these characters say they’re from Monster High. Even to people who have reasonably never heard of that school.

Like in Scaris City of Frights (and Boo York) the characters are all meeting new people from an entirely different part of the world and they introduce themselves by saying they’re from Monster High, and everyone acts like they’ve heard of it???? Which makes no sense unless there’s only one single monster school in the entire Monster High Universe.

It’d be like if I travelled to the USA (I’m from Canada) and introduced myself by my school. (Or even if I travelled to the next town over from me and introduced myself by my school) nobody would know wtf I’m talking about. For example:

Stranger: so where are you from?

Me: oh I’m from North Southwest High!

Stranger: …oh..okay,, 😀 I meant more like a state or even city name or something….

We’re getting controversial today

Maybe. I’m not sure how exactly “controversial” these ideas are, also in my opinion: Ghouls Rule dolls >>> Ghouls Rule movie

If I had a nickle for everytime I saw a 3d animated movie targeted towards young girls where a male love interest travels to the fictional worlds equivalent of Paris for the girl he loves, and she and her friends defeate a fashion famous villainess, who kidnapps fantastical beings to aid in the creation of her fashion line, by having really good clothes on a runway. I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice
