OMG HELLO HELLO okay so I saw your lil inbox saying “up for requests!” and so I’m assuming that your requests is open and if it isn’t I am SUPERR DUPER SORRY BOOKIE 。°(°.◜ᯅ◝°)°��

ANYWAYY IF YOU READ AND DECIDE TO DO RHIS THANK YOUU SM >.<‼️
Hello Pookie! Yes my request box is always open unless I specify before hand rn they are open as a archway to a temple lol
Okay love this prompt and x reader pairing
I've never done headcanons so bear with me here haha,i love kitsune and their lore so happy to make this
__________________________________________
Clawdeen wolf x fem! Kitsune! Reader (with humanoid features)
(H/t) hair type
(H/c) hair color
(E/c) eye color
(S/c) skin color
Fluff/relationship headcanons
I will make a little background how y'all got together and then the couple headcanons
Tumblr media
Clawdeen never thought she would ever find someone that would catch her interest let alone have a crush but that all changed when she saw you.
Walking through the halls with her BFF Draculaura something had caught her eye so she naturally looked over to her left and then she fully focused on the ghoul passing by.
A beautiful kitsune with (h/t) (h/c) hair, beautiful (e/c) eyes that seem so gently yet wise radiant clear (s/c) the seemed soft to the touch, you were dressed in a short kimono dress with kneehigh heels with gold accents all around even on the accents of the flower patterns on your kimono, you gave her a smile and said "hi" as you walked passed her and her best friend Draculaura in the hallway
That was the moment clawdeen knew she had to get to know you and maybe become something more. She didn't know yet but she had this strong feeling in her chest and that she should at least try to find you again today.
And to her surprise later that day Clawdeen had actually found you once more 'okay you got this Clawdeen' she walked up to you and started up a conversation "Hey i wanted to say i love your outfit its so fierce" clawdeen pushed her bangs out the way as she looked at you with a toothy smile.
You look at the ghoul in front of you happily "thank you! I love your skirt, the patterns are so clawsome" the looked at each other a little buzz in the air "mind if I sit down?" Clawdeen asked you "not at all please I'd love some company, oh and I'm [Name] what's yours?" [Name] extended her hand to the ghoul sitting across from her at the outdoor table, "Clawdeen, nice to meet you" [Name] nodded saying "nice to meet you too Clawdeen"
The two ended up chatting about fashion and their interests and then two months into knowing each other Clawdeen had asked [Name] out with chocolates and flowers which made the ghoul swoon and ran into the wolf's arm kissing her cheek and exclaimed "yes yes yes" as her fluffy tails wagged side to side excitedly
_________________________________________
Now the headcanon!
-clawdeen loves holding you by the waist as she talks to you in any place and time she feels so giddy holding you gently with one arm the warmth radiating from you both like a personal heater.
-whenever she's at your house she plays with your two tails and she likes to brush them and the blush on your cheeks when she puts her face in the softness of your fur motivates her to do it every time she comes over.
-you two are very cuddly behind closed doors and she's actually the little spoon because she likes to feel the soft purrs on her back as you hold her close by her middle.
(I'm gonna pretend you can purr hehe)
-Clawdeen loves it when you wear something of hers, since she's a wolf she liked the idea that this is one of her ways to mark you as hers and that no one will try to get with you,if someone tries to get with you they are screwed
-you also like when she wears your clothes just like Clawdeen you think that your scent on her will make idiots leave her alone before YOU tear them a new one.
- kissing is her favorite,the way your lips and her's fit so well with yours,the smell of your fruit flavor lip gloss and hers that mix together to make a new color when you part ways, ughh yes you should kiss her all the time.
-she really likes your human form you look so cute and the way you get slightly shorter than your monster form is actually too adorable
-Clawdeen will often make you two matching outfits, some are suits or dresses whichever you want to match with she's down to do anything for her muse.
-speaking of muses you are hers she's always making outfits inspired by you and your background every pattern every style it always seems she has you in mind throughout the process
-dates are going to the mall, parks, the boovies and just hanging out. Who knows maybe you'll take her to a parking lot and chill with some snacks and music playing (a make out will happen she can't help it you're just so pretty!!)
-Did I mention Clawdeen loves to pet your fluffy ears? Oh and she loves it when you do it to her too, just gently caress them with your soft hand and she's melting
-she spoils you but not in a buying you expensive things, no she remembers the candy's and chips you like and gives you a cute basket of them every few months and since the candy you like isn't expensive she's just buying you one and brings it to school for you to munch on in class.
-but on occasions like your birthday, anniversary valentines day and Christmas she'll get you a specific jewelry for the both of you to adorn, she'll make a romantic dinner and after it she'll hand you the box smilling wide and proud she got her muse something so precious and beautiful just like you..well the jewle almost matches your beauty but your prettier
-the two of you definitely have fashion shows in your room that end up becoming karaoke and just jumping up and down singing your heart out and dancing to a slow romantic holding you close and giving you neck kisses that make you giggle in delight.
-sometimes you'll turn into a fox and lay on her lap just for the fun of it and she pets you while she sketches in her sketch book with a content smile.
__________________________________________
That's all I got for now, thanks for the request I made this rather quickly is surprised with myself (^v^)
And I genuinely don't know if this is the right way to do headcanon. Sorry if it's not correct.

Can you continue your arrival swap au? I'm really intrigued to see what happens next!
(What if Lila and Alya swapped arrival times) Part 4
(Previous)
-Alya has the fox necklace and ran, Lila gives chase.
-Alya manages to hide in an alley way and slides to the ground, lila's words haunting her. While Alya is a confident individual, she still didnt establish herself in this new school, and her only friend right now happens to be the bestie of the bully that is threatening to destroy her social life.
-Hawkmoth picks up on this feeling and decide now is the perfect time to make an akuma.
-So he slides an akuma in the fox necklace and...
-"Fauxgarou, (Points if you actually guess what this is a reference too). I am Hawkmoth. You are doing what you can to stop someone from lying only for you to suffer the consequences. I am giving you the power to expose the truth and scare anyone that would dare do wrong.
-So Alya agrees and becomes a Werefox creature (Think kind of like Clawdeen but Fox variant and a bit more monsterous).
-Lila arrives only to see the new akuma and Fauxgarou is ready to fight.
_____________________________________________________________
-So now having made copies and met Fu, Marinette leaves and realizes oh s*** she was supposed to help Lila with a thing. So she starts rushing and finds herself in the park where she accidentally bumps into Adrien. She flusteredly apologizes and Adrien notices the book she's holding. Asking where she got it.
-Marinette mumbled an answer about it belonging to Lila, but Adrien realized something was off as he told her it isnt hers but his.
-Marinette was shocked to hear it and gives adrien the book back, not knowing it was his. Adrien accepts her apology and even says he should thank her for having it. If he went home without it, his dad would be mad at him, as he wasnt supposed to take it.
-Marinette now has a culprit, not adrien but Gabriel. But she also realizes Lila stole the book from Adrien. But why would she want a necklace made as a copy from the book...
-This thought was interrupted when lila runs into the park Bite mark on her arm. She was being chased by some sort of Fox human hybrid.
-Lila was screaming for help. Adrien and Marinette split up to go get help (transform)
-Chat noir arrives first and knocks back Fauxgarou saying its not polite to bite.
-Ladybug scoops up Lila and asks what happened. Lila lies about the encounter and suddenly she gains fox ears, she lies again and suddenly a tail. Everytime lila Lies she turns more and more into a fox! (Think like Truth mixed with Oni-chan with a fox twist)
-Ladybug realizes this and instructs Lila to tell her everything HONESTLY, and Lila still tries to twist it a bit only for her to gain a fox paw for an arm and decides to stop lying.
-Ladybug hides her disappointment and rushes into the fight to help save Alya.
-Chat noir got bit during the scuffle and is worried on what would happen.
-"As long as you dont lie, you will be fine."
-"Good to know, btw You are the most beautiful girl in all of Paris."
-There was no fox parts that appeared.
-"Focus kitty."
-Fauxgarou clashed with the heroes and thanks to quick thinking they stopped her.
-Alya gets deakumatized and appologizes (not remembering what happened).
-Ladybug tells her that she understood why she got akumatized and that she shouldnt be hard on herself over it. And she is sure that her new friend wont abandon her. The heroes head off after they fixed everything.
-Marinette came back and hugged alya saying she is glad she is okay.
-Alya is now convinced she needs to set up a blog dedicated to the two heroes that saved her... but first she needed to stand up to Lila.

oh no not the clankie angst ideas no no no no no no no no n-
cleo acting cold and strange after frankie fall into stasis sleep from using up their charge for something
(yes. you KNOW what that means)
(what did frankie drain themselves on- helping keep the portal open to get clawdeen's mom back?? protecting the school??? powering up a big spell for draculaura???)
(not the point. the point IS-)
cleo tucks a giant plush scarab under the sleeping frankie's arm and then goes right back to her normal school life routine
(maybe watsie tries zapping them awake but his charge isn't strong enough and frankie's parents are off backpacking in the mountains no one can reach them)
cleo won't talk about what happened to frankie. she doesn't even seem to care. her friends start out understanding "we're all dealing with this our own ways no shade" then get annoyed "what is WITH her???" and finally worried "no seriously what's up with her...? this is weird...."
(they're looking for ways to wake frankie up NOW NOW NOW frankie loved being in school they're missing part of the school year they're missing out on so much wonderful normal stuff it's terrible and cleo was just as frantic to help get them back until suddenly she wasn't)
drac and clawdeen look for answers. nefera is confused too but relaxes when she hears about the scarab plushie, it's from cleo's childhood, her leaving it with them means she really does care
(nefera's trying to figure out how to be a less overwhelming older sister she wants to give cleo space)
cleo's friends don't have that hang up
confrontation. cleo's not interested in it. she walks away, forgetting her organ bag. clawdeen hands it to her.....
....it feels lighter than it should.
drac has a terrible thought
all the friends huddle around the sleeping frankie, with cleo's plushie in their arms. someone notes the plushie is big enough to hide a jar in...
clawdeen finds a seam that's been re-stitched with surgical thread like the kind frankie uses. very carefully she slices it open with a claw
everyone leans in to see, then blanches
it takes using watsie stealing cleo's organ bags and having her chase him to get her attention
(being told he can help with this is the first thing to make watsie undroop and perk up since frankie went into stasis)
but they finally bring cleo back to the dorm room door
this time when they confront her she gets angry. she's close enough to her heart to feel anger again, and feel annoyance when she demands someone go in and gab her organ bag for her-
(watise dragged it into the dorm and is standing guard next to it, barking at cleo, tail wagging)
-only for everyone to say yeah no thanks, pass.
she hasn't exactly been charming lately so
clawdeen mockingly bows her towards the door so she can go get the bag herself, and cleo is angry enough, frustrated enough, that she marches right in
her steps slow when she sees frankie
and the heart jar someone took out of the plushie and tucked under their arm
she hurries to grab the organ bag but watsie licks her hand and snags her bandages, trying to tug her towards the bed
cleo lurches back and bumps into frankie's work bench. frankie's eyeball recorder falls, turns on,
and suddenly there's a projection of frankie spinning on their desk chair, excitedly talking about how cleo showed them not to bottle up their feelings, how to talk about them to someone or something, because-
when you bottle up the bad, you bottle up the good, too.
something something something, drac, clawdeen, and co coax cleo into sitting next to frankie and her heart jar, and FINALLY having a good cry
turns out cleo felt guilty and useless for being so broken up over frankie's stasis when draculaura and clawedeen were also sad but working hard to fix things. they have books to study and magic, and all she could do was hold frankie's hand and watch them work. she tried to be strong too, so at least she wouldn't distract them, but it hurt too much
Leaving her heart with frankie was the only thing she could think of, in the end
drac and clawdeen are like wait what? but we haven't been strong- we were falling apart all over each other and our friends! we thought you were doing that too, with nefera or someone!
she hasn't. Crushed 2.0, frankie's friends are also cleo's friends and they don't want her to bottle up her feelings for them either
cleo takes back her heart but leaves the plushie
next time she does her eyeball report, she's visiting frankie, sitting on the bed and holding their hand as she talks
she laughs. she tears up. watsie jumps in her lap and her scarabs cuddle over both her and frankie. she tells them they both have amazing friends and she knows they'll find a way to wake frankie back up soon. then a scream from the school intercom tells her it's time for her next class
nefera shows up at the door, hesitant. asks if she can't walk cleo to her class, maybe hang out in their room afterwards
cleo smiles. yes, she is tots in for that
she lets go of frankie's hand and gets up to leave
(no one notices the little spark that climbs up frankie's fingers, or how they give the tiniest, smallest twitch)
..
AND THATS IT THATS THE IDEA
CLEO CRIES BLARG ARRRRGH SOMETHING SOMETHING I DONT KNOW HOW FRANKIE WAKES BACK UP BUT THEY DO ANd EVERYTHINGS FINE AGAIN OK

Welcome to Merston High
(The masterlist for all current chapters are pinned on my page)
Chapter six - Five years too late
Tumblr media
The school had gathered together for the first assembly of the year. Bloodgood stood proudly at the front of the bleachers full of less than interested high schoolers. Frankie had been sat at the front next to a girl called Lagoona, she was super nice and overly chatty. Bloodgood wanted Lagoona to be Frankie's guide for their first day. She was like a fish but if a fish walked on two legs. She wasn't a mermaid though, the lack of tail would say so. She had large fish eyes that were bright green and gills where her ears should've been. Bloodgood cleared her throat and stood tall.
"Good morning students, I would like to start off by saying I hope you all had a good summer and completed all of your homework assignments," Bloodgood smiled widely prompting everyone to groan in unison. "As much pain as this causes me to announce, this year marks the five year anniversary of the tragic passing of Robecca Steam, a beautiful and bright student whose presence will always be felt in the halls of Merston High,"
Heath nudged Clawd and leaned in. "Wasn't she a robot? Couldn't they just put her back together?"
Frankie and Lagoona who were sat directly below them could hear almost every word. Frankie had no idea who Robecca was or why they had passed away. The idea of someone dying in the school sent shivers down their spine though. But as Heath mentioned she was a robot so how could you even say she died. He made a very good point, why couldn't they just piece her back together? Of course most of the students had never really met Robecca, they had only ever seen pictures and paintings of her. She was tall and had blue and black hair, cogs whirring in her eyes and always wore massive copper boots. Frankie's existence was similar to a robots, if they didn't charge at night their body wouldn't function.
'Put her back together?' Who or what tore her apart?
Lagoona smiled gently at Frankie who looked slightly worried. Her face was very kind and bright for a fish monster.
"Yeah it's been five years since Robecca's death and nobody has done anything about it!" A shrill voiced girl shouted from the audience. "They murdered Robecca and they could come for the rest of us whenever they want, all because us monsters have to be the bigger people"
Standing up in the bleachers was an orange cat like girl. Her ginger hair was short and cut like a boys with black racoon streaks in her fringe. She was wearing a black denim jacket covered in anarchy and 'free monsters' patches and pins. She stood with both arms folded scowling at Bloodgood directly. Her green eyes filled with fury.
"Miss Stripe I encourage you to sit back down," Ms.Bloodgood stated in a firm tone.
"You preach peace but let the blood of your own be spilled without consequence!" Toralei screamed once more.
Heath once again whispered to Clawd. "Technically wouldn't it be spilled oil?"
"The humans should feel our pain for once!" Two silent werecat twin sisters cheered Toralei on as she continued. "Down with the oppression of monsters!"
"Yeah she's right!" "Down with human scum!" "Monster rights!" "Avenge Robecca!"
Clawdeen sat silently staring at Toralei who stood across the bleachers from her. Cleo and Draculaura both pulling confused and bored expressions.
"Don't you think this vigilante act is so over done?" Cleo whispered to Draculaura.
Clawdeen felt like what Toralei was preaching wasn't completely unjustified, she was right, monsters had to always be the human boot lickers to even be treated remotely decent. Toralei and Clawdeen had never even spoke but she knew so much about her, mainly through the schools anonymous gossip forum 'The ghostly gossip'. The posts on there were always about Toralei defacing some sort of human monument or protesting by herself.
Clawdeen always hated her little cheerleaders though. They were a pair of twins called Meowlody and Purrsephone and they followed Toralei around all the time. Toralei herself didn't mind the attention but would probably admit herself that they could be obnoxious. The ghostly gossip would say they all met in a holding cell after Toralei was protesting and the twins were caught shoplifting makeup, but no one really knew for sure. Toralei would be a liar if she said she didn't enjoy two pretty girls following her around and cooing at her constantly. They saw Toralei as some sort of leader, like a tiger leading her ambush.
"If you ask me Bloodgood I would say it's been five years too long, we should've taken action that very same night" Toralei aggressively hissed.
Bloodgood muttered to a member of staff before clearing her throat. "Toralei I'm disappointed, you've landed yourself in isolation before first period, but I guess that's new record" She firmy stated.
Toralei huffed and without putting up any fuss hopped down from the bleachers and followed a large ogre like teacher out of the hall. Clawdeen felt bad for her, she wasn't causing a fuss over nothing. Her little sister had just started high school and was immediately greeted by the news of a student who was murdered. She would be lying if it didn't enrage her slightly. Her parents were very similar to Bloodgood though, they agreed that retaliation was never the solution.
"She's so unhinged," Cleo laughed. "Someone needs to keep her on a leash"
"Don't you agree with her though?" Clawdeen whispered slightly irritated. "Like she has a point,"
Cleo rolled her eyes and tutted. "Clawdeen there's always going to be human and monster conflict, one robot girls death isn't going to do shit,"
"I hate to be negative Clawdeen but Cleo's right, that's why the vampire council votes in favor of monster and human segregation," Draculaura butted in.
"Yeah but Drac the vampire council would have a vampire only future if they had it their way," Clawdeen grimaced. "Both humans and monsters are assholes, all because our ancestors talked shit about each other,"
Bloodgood coughed loudly silencing the whole auditorium. "I suggest you all get to class, oh and if anyone wants to sign up for the fundraiser in honor of Robecca the sign up sheets will be dotted about the school," The bell rang almost cutting her off at the end.
As people started flying out of the auditorium Bloodgood approached Frankie and Lagoona. Bloodgood seemed to have a look of apologeticness in her eyes. Frankie on the other hand seemed scared and confused. Lagoona though was trying her best to calm them down.
"I am so sorry Frankie, I know that's not exactly the best first impression of our school," Bloodgood stressed. "But please don't let Toralei get to you, she often uses tragedies to push forward her medieval attitude towards humans,"
"It's okay Headmistress," Frankie tried to stay positive. "I definitely can say that my first day has been anything but boring"
"I've signed you and Lagoona up for the fundraiser, I hope you don't mind, but I just need some people to set a good example," Bloodgood looked at her pupils desperately.
"Don't worry Headmistress, I can't speak for Frankie but I'd be happy to work Robecca's fundraiser," Lagonna smiled as Frankie nodded in agreement.

MH: Mermay 2021
Tumblr media
The school year, for me at least, is FINALLY coming to an end with very few finals and me coming home the day after my last class. That being said, expect more art in the summer! Anyways, here is my drawing for the famous trending Mermay, Monster High edition.
The seventh, and final of the original 2010 franchise, feature-length film, Great Scarrier Reef was a favorite of mine because it starred my top favorite ghoul, Lagoona. I loved her, as well as Frankie, Draculaura, Clawdeen, and Toralei's, Ghoulfish designs, and the blend of deep blue and hot pink looked creeperific! All that was in the inspiration of this Mermay drawing, and I had to include Lagoona's pet prianha, Neptuna! With all the blue in Lagoona's Ghoulfish design, the pink Neptuna is a nice contrast. ☺️
This is yet another favorite drawing I did of the year, and possibly one of my favorites ever. I am always happy whenever I get to draw something related to Monster High, because it makes me feel nostaglic while letting my creative juices flow. I had SO much fun coloring Lagoona, mostly her hair, makeup and tail. I did look at a reference photo for Neptuna, and I think she's a little bigger than she should, but I'm still very pleased. I did add a little extra detail to Lagoona compared to the original, mainly the hair tie and I gave her pink pearl earrings! This is making me wanna go back and rewatch Great Scarrier Reef now! Too bad that I didn't bring the DVD with me to school. At least I'll be heading home in a little over a week from now. 👀

Slo-Mo, do you mind if I ask you some questions? 1. What subjects are you good at? 2. How and when did you die? 3. How long have you been dating Ghoulia and what do you do on dates? 4. Who’s your roommate and do you get along with him? 5. What do you like about Ghoulia? 6. What’s your prosthetic arm made out of?
I have some more questions for Torelai: 1. Do you consider Frankie your friend? 2. Your mom told me that she adopted you when you were 10, what was your life like before you were adopted, you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to. 3. What are your favorite subjects? 4. What do you like to do for fun? 5. Where do you stay for winter and summer breaks?
I have some more questions for Scarah if she doesn’t mind: 1. Why do you have a crush on Raythe of all monsters? 2. If you have a gaming club, you should invite Ghoulia since she is an avid gamer? 3. What’s your family like, do you have any siblings? 4. What’s Lagoona like as a roommate? 5. Is it hard being an empath since you can feel other people’s emotions?
Slo-Mo : didn't think I'd get the privilege of getting your attention. Very well then, I'll answer your questions.
There's a lot of subjects I'm good at, academically and physically. Though admittedly the one subject I have trouble in is creative writing. I prefer facts over fiction anyway.
I can't remember the exact year but it was in World War 2.
Ghoulia and I have been together for about 3 years now. Most of our dates are spend challenging each other's intellect.
Ah yes. My roommate. It's not that I don't like Raythe. But, he's. Well. Very different compared to me.
Ghoulia is a genius. And she's one of the few people to understand me. I know that others think I'm just an arrogant know-it-all. I can't help it if I always have to correct people and be right. It's a deep rooted problem but we don't have time to go over specifics.
My arm is made out of mostly metal and other materials a human like you probably wouldn't understand. Well, it seems that was all for me. I'll get Toralei for you.
Toralei : Hey. It's you! You're back! Great. I love your questions. And that you don't judge me like others. Anyway. Questions. Let me answer them.
Of course Frankie is my friend. She even calls me her BFF but I don't think i really deserve that title yet.
I don't really have happy memories of the orphanage. I think I'll skip this one.
Well, I like art, cheerleading, history and human-monster relationships. The Last one is a new course but it's really inspiring!
Oh you know, it kinda sounds cliche since I'm a cat. But I love parkouring around the school. I actually got Deuce into it. It's really cool to watch how he uses his tail for it.
Well, I usually spend them at here at school. It's no big deal. I'm not the only student that stays behind. But Frankie actually got invited to spend winter break at Clawdeen's house and she extended the invitation to me! Draculaura's also gonna be there, and she also invited Billy. Since his dad is always at the school he also usually stays here. Not sure if Twyla will be there, but I do know Heath got invited by Cleo to visit her home. It's a desert so he should be fine. So I'm spending my Christmas at the wolf house with Draculaura, Frankie and Billy.
Wait. I should probably find out of Billy is bringing Johnny with him. Imma go do that real quick and pass you of the Scarah.
Scarah : Wow, didn't expect for you to back for me so soon. No worries though. Alright let's see...
Did Billy ask you to ask that? Fine. He's just.....absolutely perfect. His hair. His chiseled chin. His confidence. *swoon* how you can you not fall for that?
Hang on. Let me pick myself up from the floor.
Ghoulia is part of the club! But we're not an official club yet, still waiting for the paperwork.
I actually do have an older brother, Wailon. But he graduated a few years ago.
Lagoona is a good roommate. She's always careful she's not dragging water to my side of the room. And she's just really friendly.
Okay, so, being an empath. I know a common concern is that I could get overwhelmed with other people's emotions, but I never really have trouble with that. If I can feel and see someone is having trouble, I'll try to help. If their emotions are too strong, or if their true emotions don't match their "mask" I'll alert Bloodgood or the guidance counselor to help.
Ah. Is that the end already? Well, thank you for the questions anyway! I don't speak for the others but I can't wait for more!

13 Wishes Howleen Wolf Diary
On the 18th of July
Mom barked me out of bed this morning saying that I needed to get out of her fur for a few hours. It was that or help her with housework, and since yesterday I spent all day sweeping the attic.... sooo much dust!... I was out of the doggie-door before she could say boo. It’s hard not to feel screeching jealous of Clawd and Clawdeen, cause they always seem to be busy during the summer while I’m stuck at home playing cobweb cleanup. It’s tough being the little sister of two of the most popular monsters on campus - Clawdeen has her pack of friends, and Clawd has his bluddies and Draculaura, too. Meanwhile I texted my beast friend, Twyla, to see if she wanted to come lurk in the park with me today, but she can be pretty nocturnal. Not that I mind moonlighting with her, but sometimes a ghoul wants to get out in the sun, yanno? I took my soccer ball and got some solo practice in, but it’s just not as clawsome by yourself... it made me feel kind of lame, actually. I did see Venus sitting by the trees at on end of the park, but it seemed like she was having a really intense conversation with the oaks and I didn’t want to interrupt. I like Venus, but you have to watch out for her when she’s on the environmental warpath, or she’ll totally talk your ear off. Anyway, after a little while I got distracted listening... okay, eavesdropping... on her (who knew trees had so much drama?) and kicked the ball onto the casketball court where some older monsters were playing. They got fangry, and I wound up packing up and going home with my tail between my legs. Now I wish I’d ignored them and kept playing, cause now I’m bored again. Sooo. Boooored. I’d even listen to Venus lecture me about the dangers of styrofoam... at least it would be something to do!
On the 23rd of July
It’s hard not to feel funky when everyone besides me has things figured out for themselves. Clawdeen has fashion and Clawd has sports, and they both seem to just know what they want. Mom and Dad say I shouldn’t compare myself to them, or anyone else, but that’s such parent advice that I don’t feel like it should count. Besides, it’s not like I don’t know what I want to do... well, okay, it IS that, but it’s also that I want to do everything?? Like, once I spent two weeks trying to make a viral video for FrightTube. Then the week after that I decided that it was totally my destiny to be a superstar singer. Then three weeks later I was totally focused on my future as a Howlympian athlete! And I haven’t stopped wanting to do any of that stuff, but it’s too hard to do it all, and impossible to pick only one, especially cause I don’t know what I’m really good at yet. I feel like I’m getting to a point where I choose or I lose. I mean, what if I discover my hidden talents too late to do anything with them? It’d be so, so tragic. That’s why I’ve been trying so much different stuff this year - music lessons, dance class, everything I can get my claws on. Something will click sooner or later, right?
On the 29th of July
Today I heard... okay maybe eavesdropped on... Draculaura telling Clawd about a big open mic poetry scream going on at the Coffin Bean at the end of the summer. I went on their web site page to check it out, and now I think I might want to try it out, too? I mean I’ve written some poetry, and I’m always accidentally rhyming all the time. And my hip-hop dance classes have totally infused me with the muse... see what I mean? Yeah... I think I want to do this! But I gotta text Twyla and see if she’ll come out for moral support. It’s at night, and the Coffin Bean is usually pretty dark, so she’ll have no excuse not to come - besides, she loves their cupquakes.
On the 30th of July
I finally talked Twyla into going to the Maul with me. If you let her she’d probably stay in the shadows all summer, but lucky for her I won’t let lurking boogiemen lie! We went to the fur salon, and I picked out some new colors for my ‘do - I’ve been letting it go natural lately, but that doesn’t stop me from switching up my style all the time. I wound up buying like five different colors because I couldn’t decide on just one. After that we split a big booberry smoothie at the food corpse and we talked for a long while. Well... mostly I talked, Twy listened, because she’s a clawsome listener. She let me howl about how was I supposed to pick what I wanted to do with the rest of my life if I couldn’t even pick a hair color? I asked her what she thought I should do, and she got this really freaky intense look, like she was thinking hard, and then she flicked my ear and said, “I think what you really want to do is plan out your whole life before you live it, and you can’t do that, so stop stressing out.” Which is both good advice and totally useless because you can’t stop stressing out just because you want to, like, when has that ever worked in all monster history? But I do feel better, somehow. I think it helped to just talk about it to someone who gets me and doesn’t laugh when I say dumb stuff. She also agreed to come cheer me on at the poetry scream. There’s a reason Twyla is my beastie. =)
On the 10th of August
Clawd and Clawdeen actually weren’t busy today for once. Even though they’re a pain in the fang, hanging with them can still be scary-fun. Sometimes. Clawd talked us into playing a pick-up soccer game in the backyard, and Clawdeen didn’t even get growly when she fell into one of the holes Clawd made along the fence... he likes to bury things in the dirt and dig them up later. I think it’s a boy thing. We’ve all got game, and later we did get into an argument about who had the most points - we’d said we weren’t keeping score, but no duh, of course we all were! But no one got their fur in a frizz about it for a change. After a while we were making up the biggest number we could think of and howling with laughter. Dad said later he almost didn’t want to call us inside for dinner because he loves seeing us act like one big happy pack. I think he misses when all my even bigger brothers and sisters were still at home... Mom teases that he’s got empty den syndrome. I miss my older brothers and sisters sometimes, too, but they aren’t that far away. (Plus, not that they’ve moved out, the wait for the bathroom is a LOT shorter.)
On the 13th of August
I think I’m getting cold paws. The poetry scream is in just a few days, and my brain has been going all over the place since I said I’d go. What if I get stage fright? What if I totally blank and forget the whole poem? What if I’m not even that good? ...Ugh, okay, I texted Twyla, and she convinced me not to give up the ghost. Plus she pointed out that since it’s open mic, I can always just show up and decided if I want to go ahead with it when I get there. Sometimes I wish I could borrow Clawdeen’s confidence, not just her clothes... she never seems scared of anything.
On the 18th of August
Whoa, I’m still shaking. The Coffin Bean was WAY more packed than I thought it would be. There had to be dozens of monsters there, and I was a total casket case even with my beastie at my side until I ran into Clawd and Draculaura. I sort of hadn’t told them I’d be there, so they were scary surprised to see me. And then they found out I was sort of thinking about maybe performing, they wouldn’t let me get away with not doing it. So I signed up and waited for my turn, even though I was so howling nervous I could barely hear the poets on before me, and then it was my turn. I was so wound up that my eyes were practically crossing with fright, but I saw my bro and Draculaura waving from the audience, and Twy giving me the claws-up, I sucked it up and read my poem. I had it memorized and gave it everything I had, and the monsters in the crowd really seemed to dig it. I didn’t like completely bring the house down, but when even the zombies slow-clapped at the end and Clawd whooped for me it felt just little bit epic. Then Draculaura when on with this mega-romantic and sweet poem and she had the whole audience wailing like banshees. Even I got a little teary-eyed, and Clawd was whimpering into his coffinchino... he made me promise not to tell anyone lol. Of course she won first place for the night - not that I’m moaning. She totally deserved it, and I came i third, which made me feel pretty clawsome about the whole thing. Even Clawd was patting me on the back and bragging that I was his little sis to anyone who’d listen... which was embarrassing, but whatever, kind of nice too. =) I gave Twyla the biggest hug for staying with me, too, especially since crowds are one of her fangups. I have to say, I really liked tackling my fears... it makes me think maybe I’m ready for a whole new me next year! Watch out, Monster High!

Welcome Back, Skeletor
Hordak wants to talk to Catra about something. She-Ra does battle with Skeletor. More ‘Skeletor’ stories.
*
Another day, another Ex-Horde Therapy Group meeting.
Today the clones were helping to arrange a large circle of comfortable chairs, under Wrong Hordak’s enthusiastic direction. Perfuma, whose meditation lesson the previous week had proven popular enough to warrant an encore, centered herself while Scorpia did her best to shuffle a deck of yoga cards by her side. More clones trickled in through the hallway door every few minutes.
Catra watched this from her vantage point in the back of the room, where she was helping to set up the snack table. Beside her, Entrapta’s latest pet project - a reprogrammed Horde drone she’d nicknamed ‘Skeletor’ - set out more food while making various nasal utterances.
“Meheheh. You’ve done your job well, Catra!” Skeletor declared, surveying her work. Suddenly he snapped to attention. “Gah! It’s that muscle-bound female, She-Ra!”
Catra followed his gaze to the other end of the narrow table, where Adora had claimed an entire tray of cheese cubes for herself and was now eating them by the handful. At Skeletor’s approach she made a small sound of panic and hurried away toward the circle of chairs, hunched protectively over her plate.
A giggle escaped from Catra and she turned away from the scene, only to be met by an enormous looming shadow looking down at her.
“Oh! Hordak!” Her tail puffed and she tried, unsuccessfully, to hide it under the tablecloth. “Didn’t see you there, buddy. You, uh, want some honeydew?” She held the plate up like a shield.
Hordak accepted a piece of the offered fruit and regarded her mildly. “Thank you. I hope Skeletor isn’t bothering you too much?”
Catra shrugged. “Nah. His laugh is weird and he keeps calling Melog ‘Clawdeen,’ but he’s harmless enough.”
“You should also avoid his doomberry pies,” Hordak advised, casting an eye toward the food. “I am… not displeased to see you here today, you know. I was uncertain if you would return after your first visit.”
“I could say the same about you.” Catra looked back towards the chairs, where Skeletor and Adora’s disagreement over the cheese plate was heating up. Entrapta had appeared between them and was holding the two warring parties apart with her hands, while her hair fidgeted with Skeletor’s circuitry and snuck bites of cheese. “I guess we both have our, uh, significant princesses to blame for that. Plus, it’s actually kind of nice to talk about stuff with people who get it.”
“Indeed,” Hordak agreed, looking in Entrapta’s direction. “Also, I… had another motive in seeking you out today. I wish to apologize to you. Catra.”
He said her name awkwardly - the first time he’d spoken it aloud since their imprisonment on Prime’s ship - and Catra felt her bearings bouncing away.
“Um. You want to apologize to me? Did you forget about, y’know, the whole Beast Island thing?”
“No,” Hordak growled, and for a moment his eyes grew sharper before softening again. “But nevertheless. I was a poor leader. And I caused you pain. And I am sorry for that.”
Catra raised her eyebrows, then realized that he was reading off a piece of folded paper. “Did somebody put you up to this?”
Hordak huffed. “Hardly. Princess Perfuma merely suggested that it might behoove me to admit my wrongs and make amends with those I have harmed.” He looked away and shuffled his feet. “Scorpia may have helped somewhat with the wording.”
“No offense, but if that’s the road you wanna go down, you’re going to have a lot of amending to do.”
Hordak nodded. “Yes, well. It seemed as good a place as any to start.” He pocketed his paper. “The Princess Alliance has seen fit to forgive us our past lives in the Horde, and it would be disrespectful if I did not attempt to live up to that.”
Catra chuckled. “Hordak, the Alliance forgave us because nobody was in the mood to start a war with Dryl, Plumeria, and She-Ra at the same time.” She caught his expression. “But you’re right. So, uh, thanks. I’m sorry too. For everything. For whatever that means.”
“More than you may know,” Hordak said, smiling softly. He glanced at something past her shoulder. “Excuse me. This may require my assistance.”
Hordak hurried off in the direction of Entrapta and Skeletor. The robot was now being held aloft in the scientist’s hair, limbs flailing wildly. He shook his fists.
“Dolts! Halfwits! Bunglers!” Skeletor cried.
“Now, come on Skeletor, play nice!” Entrapta cajoled.
“I am not nice!” Skeletor shot back. “Blast that She-Ra! Always meddling! Myaah!”
Hordak reached them and began to gently extricate the peeved robot from his partner’s plumes of hair. Catra watched, smiling in spite of herself, until something blonde popped up into her field of vision and she started back with a yelp.
“Hey Cathra!” Adora said, mouth full. “You want thome cheethe?” She held out the cheese plate. There were one and a half cubes remaining, along with some crumbs.
“I’m good, thanks,” Catra replied, regaining her calm, and her smile. She took the plate from Adora and replaced it with one of her hands. “So, I think Hordak just tried to be nice to me?”
“Oh, yeah, I totally put him up to it,” Adora said, flicking a cheese crumb off her shoulder. “I think he went to Perfuma and Scorpia for extra advice though. Did it go okay? He’s really trying, I swear.”
Something in Catra’s chest melted, and she laughed heartily. “C’mon, Adora. Let’s go join the circle before all the good seats are taken.”
*
Of course, all the good seats were taken. Catra and Adora wound up sitting next to Skeletor, who was frowning with his arms crossed beside Hordak.
“Behave,” Hordak hissed, while Entrapta hung off the side of her chair to make eyes at him.
“You miserable excuse for a villain,” Skeletor muttered. But he behaved.
“Welcome, everyone!” Wrong Hordak chimed from the center of the circle. “Who is ready to develop coping strategies for the processing of traumatic experiences?”
Catra and Hordak shared a sidelong glance. They were, perhaps, more ready than they realized.
“Myaah!” Skeletor said, again.

Not to sound dumb, but why is it squick-y that the younger wolf siblings are more 'wolf' like?
The simple answer is because it’s weird- and not in the cute quirky way Mattel is going for with these reboot dolls. it’s just plain weird and uncanny.
Clawdeen’s new pet is a wolf. which is a bizarre choice in itself because Clawdeen is also a wolf… That would be like a human being owning a less evolved sub-human neanderthal as a pet…if that idea doesn’t make you uncomfortable it should.
Tumblr media
The image looks cute but when you stop and think about it, it gets kinda dicey. Like Clawdeen is holding a pup- but then her mom also has pups one she reads bedtime stories too and one she feed kibble. Think about it like how in Disney, Mickey’s best friend Goofy is a dog- but then he owns Pluto who is also a dog and their universe somehow makes this okay. Why is it that Goofy gets to own a house and have a family but Pluto has to wear a collar???
Tumblr media
Now enter in Clawdeens new baby sister who does not look humanoid like Clawdeen and her brothers do at all- she looks just striaght up like a wolf pup. she has cheek fluff and even a tail! so does the little brother…which makes me wonder- what happened to Clawdeens tail!? does their tail fall off when they hit puberty!? did someone chop hers off? Silvi doesn’t have a tail either, is Howleen going to have a tail? If the reboot wanted to make Clawdeen more wolf-like giving her a tail would have been a much better alternative than making her live in a cave, which if you’ve read my movie review you know I take issue with.
…your pet and your little sister should not look more related than you do is basically what I’m getting at here. If someone photo shopped the wolf brown you would barely be able to tell the difference between it and her little sister and that….is weird.

ooh youd never watched mh before? like not the og series either? i also really like the new show!
Never! Think might have heard about the toys once, a few years back? A bit isolated out here heheh, and the internet speed is... well
BUT YEAH THE NEW SHOW! Gen 3? THAT ONE!!!!
okay so far i've only seen what's free on youtube and The Monstering and that's enough to tell me something Very Important about this show. Well. A few Very Important Things
1.) HALLOWEEN SCHOOL THATS SPOOKY YES YES YES
when was a kid (one million years ago) i was Obsessed with the idea of Halloween Town and loved imagining all these stories about my version of it
(accessed via a well, for some reason)
imagined being a pumpkin headed scarecrow (legit my first self insert OC, before I know those terms) and hanging out with MY ghoul friends (werewolf, vampire, skeleton, ghost, the usual)
drew fanart for it and daydreamed about it all year long...
my neighbor, the kid i played most with bc neither of us had anyone else, liked playing animal uprising in barbie town and wasn't so keen on the spooks, so my desire for a funky creepy friend group VESTERED. like worms. or maybe maggots
AND NOw
MONTER HIGH?????
There've been other shows or movies that TRY to do this, but they either go too dark for me, or the spook stuff is so surface level it's like halloween decorations
MONSTER HIGH IS JUST- PERFECT
soft core body horror via Frankie! Oh hey Cleo has bugs crawling under her wrappings! The teens are eating EYES and BRAINS and sloppy joes made from TOES?
COMMITED TO THE SPOOK
The students are ACTUAL spooks! Draculaura can turn into a bat! She's got NO reflection! Frankie keeps falling apart- Literally! Ghost students!
Creative use of the spook! Here's an eyeball to record your class project on!
it's VIBES
the vibes are EVERYWHERE
I LOVE BAD PUNS AND THIS IS FULL OF THEM EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME
2.) This show feels safe. Comfortable. Cozy.
Meet Frankie. They use they/them pronouns
THAT JUST HAPPENS SO CASUALLY IT JUST HAPPENS SO EASILY AND WE ALL MOVE ON LIKE ITS NORMAL TO SEE THAT IN A SHOW
Clawdeeeeeen and the school...
the students go from AHH A HUMAN!! to sneaking around trying to eves drop on Clawdeen and the headmistress and now they don't look scared they look curious, they're interested in this human talking about her love of monster stories and how she doesn't fit in with humans and just wants to stay here with them- it's sweet. It's so sweet.
Even before she turn out to be part werewolf, the feeling is, the students like her. They'd be happy to have her stay. There's a connection here even WITHOUT being a monster
like Draculaura and Frankie and Duce want to help Clawdeen figure out what kind of monster she might be SO SHE CAN STAY. the framing is, turning out to be a monster would be the EXCUSE for her to be here, with friends. The ones she already has, now
my heart
dont touch me
I NEED A SOFT SHOW LIKE THIS. I NEED, JUST, HEY WE CAN BE KIND ON A GENERAL BASIS. THE WORLD CAN BE LIKE THIS
3.) the... the expectations of what a body should look like.... break them and be joyful
Clawdeen the werewolf girl is worried for a sec that she doesn't have ENOUGH armpit hair
for fun we get to see it growing THROUGH her SHIRT!
also i dont know why but it feels like this is one of the first times i've seen weregirls with leg and arm hair that has actual, noticeable, fur tufts. not just smooth with a fur coloring. this has Texture. these girls are HAIRY
and again it's just another thing, it's normal at monster high
hey i love it
Iris is on the fear squad
IRIS IS ON THE FEAR SQUAD
the monster who is fat and has one giant eyeball is on monster high's version of the cheerleading squad!
LAGOONA HAS ACTUAL NEEDLE SHAP TEETH
ALLLLLLLL. OF. FRANKIE.
metal leg? Clear and obvious scar stiches all over their body? yep! zero self image issues this monster is just out there grooving!
hey this merdude has a tail with no legs he uses a wheelchair no biggie
look
i have EXTREME dysphoria and no money to do anything about it
i want to go to monster high, too
it looks safe
last and most important of all....
4.) WRITING ! HEY! THE WRITING IS SHARP AND THE EDITING IS CRUNCHY
character voices. CHARACTER VOICES.
THEY HAVE THEM
a lowbar, you might think, and yet i've spent good money on media written for adults that DOES NOT HAVE THIS
i've watched maybe, four five eps? and already i can HEAAR the characters in my head! i can feel the TONE of the show! i can imagine my own little adventures for them bc it's easy to feel what they'd say or do!
I LOVE CHARACTER VOICES
you know what i hate? things that arn't set up! things that are forgotten!
eleven minutes and so far not ONCE has something happened that wasn't set up before hand
Oh everyone's out of the camera ghoul yay- wait. I don't see cleo in the pile. did they forget to animate her?
NOPE
She's still in the camera monster's pocket dimension!
SHE REFUSES TO LEAVE UNTIL IT FINALLY TAKES A GOOD PHOTO OF HER FOR THE FEAR BOOK!
as set up by her having trouble even buying coffee bc her id doesn't look like her, as set up by her new photo also getting ruined accidentally by Frankie, as set up by her getting caught by the monster when she came back to demand another photo!
the way the three bell chime "ding, ding, DOOOM" are used when Clawdeen is exchanging thumbs up with the wolf pack only to cut on the DOOOM to her going into the woods for the pack meeting against her instincts
nervous ding nervous ding BIG DOOOOOM OF THIS IS A BAD IDEA
brain candy
that's brain candy for me
i feel like a zombie media student
"gOoOoOd eDiTtInG....!" i moan, shambling towards the next episode with arms out stretched
there's so much of this tbh its always there
ok i have to stop this rant this is getting ridiculous
QUICK OTHER MENTIONS OF AWESOME
---- VOice acting! I'm sensitive to stiff acting and these ppl are haivng FUN i can FEEEEEEL it. Cleo and Spectra stand out for me. And Lagoona especially. i love Lagoona
---- DESIGN AND COLORS aye it's pretty! my eyes are having fun!
---- MUSIC AND SOUND DESIGN they are on point and make everything ten times better
----- WORLD BUILDING i don't need to explore it but it feels like there's a world and a history of monsters out there and that sells the whole school
----- THE FEELS so far Draculaura in the Food Fight ep hits the hardest. Girl giving a presentation against witch craft, while secretly practicing witch craft, to convince herself it's bad... needing confidence to cast spells correctly, only she loses hers... all of the wanting to be a witch, it makes her feel like her, and then- the realization that that MAKES her a witch. She already IS one. She wants to tell her dad but, just, can't. And her friends support her.... oh, that hit good
And also, of course, Frankie the nonbinary monster!
who isn't a split of guy and girl, or a multiple personality deal. They're just. Nonbinary. They don't need a reason or an explanation.
sure you could say, it's cause they're made up of parts from other people, but the show doesn't say that. Frankie calls those parts their "past" selves/lives. this is their life though and they are their own self. silly, sweet, emotional, curious Frankie Stein. who goes by they/them
as someone with zero gender, who can't introduce my self as they/them, that feels so good
this SHOW feels so good
cleo/frankie is really cute, very adorable, but i think im just bitten for the whole show now. i don't care what happens in particular just let me frolic gleefully in the childhood i wish id had :)

Diary of Howleen Wolf
Read my diary and I’ll make you howl!
On the 18th of July
Mom barked me out of bed this morning saying that I needed to get out of her fur for a few hours. It was that or help her with housework, and since yesterday I spent all day sweeping the attic.... sooo much dust!... I was out of the doggie-door before she could say boo. It’s hard not to feel screeching jealous of Clawd and Clawdeen, cause they always seem to be busy during the summer while I’m stuck at home playing cobweb cleanup. It’s tough being the little sister of two of the most popular monsters on campus - Clawdeen has her pack of friends, and Clawd has his bluddies and Draculaura, too. Meanwhile I texted my beast friend, Twyla, to see if she wanted to come lurk in the park with me today, but she can be pretty nocturnal. Not that I mind moonlighting with her, but sometimes a ghoul wants to get out in the sun, yanno? I took my soccer ball and got some solo practice in, but it’s just not as clawsome by yourself... it made me feel kind of lame, actually. I did see Venus sitting by the trees at on end of the park, but it seemed like she was having a really intense conversation with the oaks and I didn’t want to interrupt. I like Venus, but you have to watch out for her when she’s on the environmental warpath, or she’ll totally talk your ear off. Anyway, after a little while I got distracted listening... okay, eavesdropping... on her (who knew trees had so much drama?) and kicked the ball onto the casketball court where some older monsters were playing. They got fangry, and I wound up packing up and going home with my tail between my legs. Now I wish I’d ignored them and kept playing, cause now I’m bored again. Sooo. Boooored. I’d even listen to Venus lecture me about the dangers of styrofoam... at least it would be something to do!
On the 23rd of July
It’s hard not to feel funky when everyone besides me has things figured out for themselves. Clawdeen has fashion and Clawd has sports, and they both seem to just know what they want. Mom and Dad say I shouldn’t compare myself to them, or anyone else, but that’s such parent advice that I don’t feel like it should count. Besides, it’s not like I don’t know what I want to do... well, okay, it IS that, but it’s also that I want to do everything?? Like, once I spent two weeks trying to make a viral video for FrightTube. Then the week after that I decided that it was totally my destiny to be a superstar singer. Then three weeks later I was totally focused on my future as a Howlympian athlete! And I haven’t stopped wanting to do any of that stuff, but it’s too hard to do it all, and impossible to pick only one, especially cause I don’t know what I’m really good at yet. I feel like I’m getting to a point where I choose or I lose. I mean, what if I discover my hidden talents too late to do anything with them? It’d be so, so tragic. That’s why I’ve been trying so much different stuff this year - music lessons, dance class, everything I can get my claws on. Something will click sooner or later, right?
On the 29th of July
Today I heard... okay maybe eavesdropped on... Draculaura telling Clawd about a big open mic poetry scream going on at the Coffin Bean at the end of the summer. I went on their web site page to check it out, and now I think I might want to try it out, too? I mean I’ve written some poetry, and I’m always accidentally rhyming all the time. And my hip-hop dance classes have totally infused me with the muse... see what I mean? Yeah... I think I want to do this! But I gotta text Twyla and see if she’ll come out for moral support. It’s at night, and the Coffin Bean is usually pretty dark, so she’ll have no excuse not to come - besides, she loves their cupquakes.

Well... mostly I talked, Twy listened, because she’s a clawsome listener. She let me howl about how was I supposed to pick what I wanted to do with the rest of my life if I couldn’t even pick a hair color?

There had to be dozens of monsters there, and I was a total casket case even with my beastie at my side until I ran into Clawd and Draculaura. I sort of hadn’t told them I’d be there, so they were scary surprised to see me. And then they found out I was sort of thinking about maybe performing, they wouldn’t let me get away with not doing it. So I signed up and waited for my turn, even though I was so howling nervous I could barely hear the poets on before me, and then it was my turn. I was so wound up that my eyes were practically crossing with fright, but I saw my bro and Draculaura waving from the audience, and Twy giving me the claws-up, I sucked it up and read my poem. I had it memorized and gave it everything I had, and the monsters in the crowd really seemed to dig it. I didn’t like completely bring the house down, but when even the zombies slow-clapped at the end and Clawd whooped for me it felt just little bit epic. Then Draculaura when on with this mega-romantic and sweet poem and she had the whole audience wailing like banshees. Even I got a little teary-eyed, and Clawd was whimpering into his coffinchino... he made me promise not to tell anyone lol. Of course she won first place for the night - not that I’m moaning. She totally deserved it, and I came i third, which made me feel pretty clawsome about the whole thing. Even Clawd was patting me on the back and bragging that I was his little sis to anyone who’d listen... which was embarrassing, but whatever, kind of nice too. =) I gave Twyla the biggest hug for staying with me, too, especially since crowds are one of her fangups. I have to say, I really liked tackling my fears... it makes me think maybe I’m ready for a whole new me next year! Watch out, Monster High!

Is it me or do they try to dehumanise Wolf family?
They are trying to dehumanize the wolf family- but not in the way you’re thinking.
They’re trying to make them more wolf-like, which I understand and respect. but they are going about it in all the wrong ways.
The old continuity I assumed the wolf family never transformed into wolves because-they’re already wolves. But now they can transform- which is awesome and I support! I love they can transform at will, I love that they have molded on fur cuffs and I love that they run with a pack.
But I do not love this weird puppy birth thing Clawdeens new baby sister implies and I really don’t love this whole “I lived in a den/cave” narrative Mattel is trying to push upon Clawdeen, If they want to show she came from humble beginnings I’m for that- but a cave is just going too far.
I support them wanting to make their werewolves more wolf-like and making their cast more monster like in general but them being werewolves is no reason they can’t own a house! If Mattel wanted to make Clawdeen more like a wolf they should have just given her a tail and some nose paint instead of putting her in a cave.
