For the ask game! 9. What are your file name conventions? 11. Do you listen to anything while drawing? If so, what? 30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated?

9. My file names are either very technical (such as references/pages/etc. that I need to readily find with ease) or something silly!

Examples being:

It can be silly, rare occasionally unhinged— specifically pieces I make for myself LOL

11. I listen to either extended video game sound tracks from various franchises, or specifically my favorite YouTubers playing horror games. I avoid the scary imagery, and enjoy their terrified screams while drawing cute and colorful cartoon characters! What joy!

30. Ooh that's a tough one. I haven't posted single images here in a while aside from pages, but in terms of singular illustrations, I'd have to go with either this from my DA gallery:

People have no idea how much love and care I put into making the texture of that onion ring feel right. Got only a handful of faves back in the day because this features my OC, Twyla. An oldie, but a goodie

The other contestant for underrated would be this one:

Oh man did this get slept on. Another original of mine, and original monster— an Iratii Shade. This is a typical grunt/pawn type of monster! Alone they pose little challenge, but in large groups they can be a threat. Individuals can be relatively tame and goofy LOL

One of the last times I touched on anything from my scrapped OG series, World Jumpers. Been kind of at a loss since on what to do for an original thing, since I had been working on WJ for pretty much half of my life. But yeah! This piece got ignored so hard. No love for original stuff on DA omg

Today's disabled character of the day is Twyla Boogeyman from Monster High (Gen 3), who is autistic

Hoy me dedique a avanzar algunos customs que tengo en proceso, en primer lugar, una Twyla.

Mi amigo hizo el repaint

En segundo Lugar esta Scarah que tenía guardada hace más de dos años xD

Tiene el cuerpo de una Frankie g2, y mi idea es hacerla a partir de un dibujo que hice hace más de 3 años, inspirada en un MH Drawtober

Quise ocupar el enfoque "como se habría visto esta muñeca en tal línea?"

En este caso fue Scarah con la línea "Dot Dead Gorgeous"

Si bien las demás tienen un estilo inspirado fuertemente en los años 50, preferí enfocarme en lo 60-70 para Scarah, ya que en sus otras muñecas oficiales se ven elementos populares durante esas épocas.

Si, la ropa será una pesadilla de hacer 😅

La cupido que subí anteriormente también es parte de esos conceptos. También tengo una Elissabat y planeo seguir haciendolas

Mayhaps I ask for one that belongs to my sister? <3

This is Sir Galahad Pendragon! (TH link included! Gaze upon his glory)

And this is my baby girl Twyla! She's Sir Galahad's great-(times a lot)-granddaughter! (her father is Galahad's great-grandson, so feel free to math that if you like mathing)

Please feel free to draw them separately or together if you'd like! Twyla is very small in comparison to Galahad!

Galahad is over 3 feet tall, and Twyla is 6 inches tall (very smol child and can fit in his hand like a baseball or softball; she's a baby at 11 years old and Galahad is OLD™; very kind grampa though)

Thank you so much for doing this for everyone!! <3

Send me your Kirby OC references and I'll doodle them.

[rainbow-filmnerd]

Ignore the fact that I used some of my Pop! figures for platforms in the back row, but here's a collection update on my Monster High G3 dolls! I plan to make a post sharing all my other MH dolls (mostly G1), but it's just easier to take out my G3 dolls. I got Spectra last week, and she is indeed lovely. However, my favorites are Frankie, Lagoona, Ghoulia, Twyla, Abbey, and Catty! There is no doll here that I absolutely hate, and as you can see, I did a bit of painting work and stuff with the Boo Crew. More touchups will be added soon, and no, I'm not getting the Hiss-fits 3-pack despite my goal of only getting core/debut character dolls (maybe some other time if the Twins are sold as a 2-pack in the future).

Below are some group shots of the dolls, and I had fun with some of the posing! I've also restyled Clawdeen and Draculaura's hair since taking these.

Some stuff I did for each doll! More work will be done later, and I'll post them all updated!

Clawdeen: restyled her hair, repainted her nose (since part of it was missing the paint)

Draculaura: restyled her hair (put some of it up on two upper ponytails), put pins on her headband

Cleo: painted her molded-on bandages, cut her sleeves and restitched her dress, washed hair (since it's poly), put pins on headband, made bracelet for right arm

Deuce: painted the eyes on his snakes

Lagoona: painted an eyebrow scar to hide a paint defect, painted her arm fins blue to match her leg fins, washed and curled hair

Toralei: cut her hair to about waist length, gave modified Draculaura leggings, painted freckles on her cheek

Ghoulia: repainted a Frankie tie pin and stitched it to her beanie

Twyla: made black leggings, washed and curled hair

Clawd: pulled and styled hair into a man-bun (divide into two sections, tie the back section then twist parts the front section and tie with the back part)

Abbey: washed hair, restyled front fringe to better show off her ears

Heath: swapped out sandals with Ken doll shoes

Venus: painted silver dot for nose earring

Catty: brushed hair

Spectra: washed hair, put pins on headband (I wish it was a full band)

Also, everyone's fingernails (except for Spectra) are painted.

WIP Wednesday

tagged by @giddyupbuck @jesuisici33 @wikiangela @disasterbuckdiaz @underwater-ninja-13 @wildlife4life Thank you loves 💖

I don't really have anything new today (this cold hasn't been helping any writing). Have this snippet of with my heart in my lap that you've definitely never read before.

The rear door opens, allowing Twyla to maneuver inside while showing off the deep cut V that comes to a point halfway down her back.  Alexis clutches at the underside of her thigh, nails digging crescents into the flesh to prevent herself from reaching forward. So she isn’t further tempted to trace the expanse of bare skin, or spontaneously press a kiss to every visible freckle.  A wave of emotions crashes over her, making her want to call the whole evening off. To keep Twyla to herself so she doesn’t have to share. But, as much as Alexis wants to, that’s not a decision she's entitled to make.  “Hi.” Twyla’s greeting comes out breathy and light. The single word seems to float between them, fluttering across the space, gentle and delicate. Like something Alexis could catch in her palm and tuck away for later.  “Hey,” Alexis manages to answer. “You look… beautiful.”  Except Twyla is so much more than that. Beautiful doesn’t scratch the surface of how stunning she is. She should be photographed or, better yet, immortalized in a painting.  A rosy pink settles high on Twyla’s cheeks as she mumbles thank you and shyly averts her gaze. But then she tilts her head, looking at Alexis as though the rest of the world no longer exists. There’s a haze of sadness in her eyes when she adds, “You look like you’re going to break a lot of hearts tonight.”  Alexis pushes away the immediate ache that settles in her chest, fairly confident the only heart breaking tonight will be her own.  The rest of the ride to Elmdale they gossip about who’s coming out tonight, whether Roland and Jocelyn will be asked to leave for inappropriate dancing, and generally buzzing about the idea of an up and coming band performing so close to them.  Street lamps begin dotting the landscape, situated closer and closer together as they approach the edge of town. Cars and pickup trucks converge in slow moving traffic leading to The Quarter Note. When Alexis spies the electric blue sign at the front of the club, an idea begins to form as she peers at the long lines of vehicles.  “C’mon.” She grabs Twyla’s hand, pulling them both toward the door. With her free hand Alexis grasps the handle, tugging it open.  “Lex! What are you doing?” Twyla giggles behind her, scooting across the seat. The sound sends a thrill through Alexis, making her feel like she’s on top of the world.  “Getting us there faster!” They hold onto each other like a lifeline, fingers interlaced as they weave through the maze of vehicles, ignoring the horns blaring as they cut through.  People glare and mutter under their breath as they make it to the sidewalk, laughing and breathless. Alexis can't care what anyone says though when Twyla is squeezing her arm, head thrown back and eyes shut tight, voice ringing out like a bell.  Unwilling to separate herself for longer than necessary, Alexis holds out her arm, offering it for Twyla to take. She does, slipping her hand through Alexis’s elbow and connecting them together. Alexis enjoys the way they fit like two puzzle pieces. Like a sign that this is how they should be.

𝐋𝐨𝐠 5- 𝐀𝐧 𝐀𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐁𝐨𝐝𝐲

My glimpses of memories are becoming more frequent, more clear and vivid. And with that, I’ve been able to process some of my features from a first person perspective. Otherwise besides guessing based off of provided media, I don’t know how my face looks like or can remember it. It’s a little scary and sad but oh well.

But on a brighter more interesting side, I’ve seen my hands and legs, I wish I had been able to examine them longer but it is a memory, I can’t control my actions in those. My legs have that dark purpling that most of the interpretations of Twyla has but mine is different. Not only does it travel up further but it’s reminiscent of vitiligo, making small splotches and dots as it travels up my legs. Same goes for my hands but they are almost fully dark purple, I had thought they were gloves at first to be honest.

This is exciting to remember and I hope to know more soon.

[blazingstaro]

MAN you got me thinking about Eave (I love her 4 wings btw!), but all the questions I want to ask about her story probably go into spoilers territory, so instead… another free ask about her daughter and her daughter’s parents?

AAA THANK YOU! I'm glad!! Auughhh I've always loved her 4 wings. She's such a pretty lady. And hey— you never know unless you try, but sure I can tell you about her daughter and fam!

You may have guessed, as many have, but Eave's baby girl is Twyla! She's undergoing a little bit of a design update as well, but here's my latest iteration from last year:

Her father and stepmother belong to my sister, @starlightfyre! Zeelo and Amani Zeidric are her current guardians and caretakers!

Yes, that's right— she's a Zeidric, and I've hinted it from the very beginning in DotS' original Episode one! Right here was my first clue (old art jumpscare):

Second were three different hints here in Episode 2:

First set of panels— that's a very subtle one and wasn't really intended to be obvious; however that's something Zeelo's known to say often! The second panel also has Zeelo's distinct green eye color as another subtle reference. There's many instances where I used Eave or Zeelo's eye colors, or maybe both, as a hint towards her relations to the two.

Additionally, Twyla has a magic version of Zeelo's signature pistol here, her hair is styled similarly to his, as well her gloves had changed shape to emulate his style! Additionally, they're both holding a pistol with their left hand— Twyla is mirroring that poster in the background!

You can see she has her mother's cream-colored wings. She's very much the spitting image of Eave

SO YEAH— I'm revealing this here because in DotS' rewrite, this information is in the open. How she arrives in her father's care, however, will remain a surprise, hehehe!

That's just a glimpse of how deep and subtle my foreshadowing can get :3c

But some info on Twyla— her personality's had a bit of a shift because of these changes, thanks to the direct influence of her father and stepmother. She'll still have plenty of sass, but she's going to be much more brave and have much less Trauma™. Much more outgoing and confident in herself!

However she's also aware of her lineage, and as the youngest in her family, believes she has the biggest shoes to fill. She constantly strives to prove herself worthy of her family name on both sides. The challenges of being the child of not one but two famous heroes. She has her mother's legacy to uphold as well, as her only heir and survivor of their bloodline

Although— this pressure is self-afflicted. Zeelo and Amani are already proud of her as she is! They have no expectations of her beyond just being herself, and enjoying her peaceful childhood 💜

The Toonz Twins: Toontown Sleuths

Chapter Three: Eddie Valiant

Summary: Now that they’ve been hired, the twins meet their new partner, retired Toon private investigator Eddie Valiant who is also hired to investigate the rumors at Maroon Cartoons Studio CEO R.K. Maroon’s request. The three do not hit it well with first impressions.

Credit for inspiration goes to @imaginarytoon1, author of “The Birchwood Twins: Toontown Investigators” and @its-metal-mistress, author of “Bendy and the Ink Machine: Learning How to Live”. Please check out their own wonderful content ^^!

Special Guests Tags 😊: @marinerainbow, @slashingdisneypasta, @los-angeles-toon-patrol, and @weaselnerd (BTW, I have a favor to ask. If you guys received this, can you please comment you saw my chapter? I’ve been having WiFi issues lately ☹)

Warning: Eddie being biased towards the twins 😑

The twins followed the lady down the hallway to R.K. Maroon’s office. As they walked, they marveled at the sight of various Toons and Toon celebrities walking around the streets at the studio. The walls were embellished with posters of Roger and Herman’s cartoons from Babes in Arms to Tummy Trouble and The Wet Nurse.

“They must be the stars of the studio,” Tom said to his sister, who gave a little shrug as if to say, “Guess so”.

The lady knocked on the doors polished in oak wood. “Mr. Maroon? Our guests are here.”

“Ah! Terrific!” a man’s voice responded. He clapped his hands, “Send them in, please.”

She opened the door for the twins, and they thanked her before stepping into Maroon’s office. It was a classy, organized room with walls painted in ivory decorated with golden statues of Toon celebrities and posters of Roger and Herman’s cartoons near a single green sofa chair on the right. The floor was polished in dark green and red, and only had two little stairs to the office desk. The desk itself was shaped in a curved style, decorated with more cartoon memorabilia and the chair was tufted in vintage green leather. Two velvet green curtains spread open, giving a splendid view of the Acme Factory. And sitting on the office chair and another in front of the desk were two men.

R.K. Maroon was a tall, but stout man. His skin was olive, and his hair was black peppered with streaks of gray. He wore a dark silver-grey jacket accented by a crimson handkerchief over a white dress shirt, a tie threaded in streaks of black, white, and red, and matching silver-grey trousers with polished black dress shoes.

And the other man, judging by his washed-up detective getup, had to be Eddie Valiant. He was slightly shorter, but a little stockier. He wore an old, coffee-colored jacket with a surprisingly clean white dress shirt, holding a black tie dotted in diamond shapes marked with single red x’s and dark suspenders with scuffed shoes. But unlike Maroon, he kept his short dark brown hair hidden in a classic brown fedora. He raised a brow at the twins’ appearances, giving them both a once-over look before his brown eyes darkened. Tom returned his glance with a concealed warning glare, which did manage to tell the man to keep his trap shut. At least, for now.

“Hello and welcome to Maroon Cartoons!” Maroon walked over to meet the twins, extending his hand out. “You must be Mr. Valiant’s assistants. I’m R.K. Maroon, the proud owner and CEO of the studio.”

Tom accepted his handshake, “Tom Toonz. And this is my sister, Twyla.” He motioned to his sister, who shyly held her hand out for a handshake.

“It’s very nice to meet you, too.” Maroon shook her hand before he turned to the brooding man. “OK, Eddie, you’re free to go.”

“Great,” Valiant grumbled, taking another gulp of his flask and stuffing it in his pocket before storming out of the office.

The twins sighed and shared a deadpan look. “Let’s get this over with,” he grumbled, and they followed him, not noticing Maroon’s smile turn a little…less sincere.

_____________

They followed their “partner” all the way across town, where he decided to hitch a ride on another trolley without them. Asshole. The Red Car stopped near an archway building called The Terminal Station Bar. Just as Eddie was about to take the first step, a young gruff voice spoke from behind him.

“Leavin’ us out in the open?”

“Jesus!” Eddie whirled around, but he glowered when he saw the twins with their arms crossed. “Didn’t anyone ever tell ya it ain’t smart to sneak up behind people?”

“Didn’t anyone ever tell ya it ain’t polite to ditch your coworkers?” Tom answered his question with another question, raising a brow.

“No shit, sherlock,” Eddie grumbled. “Look, I got no time to deal with you Toons—”

A hand grabbed him by the shoulder before Eddie was forced to make eye contact with the young gunslinger. Tom’s tone was even but had a firm undertone do it. “I wouldn’t finish that sentence if I were you. Where we come from, we don’t take kindly to racists and that does not exclude you, Mr. Valiant.”

Eddie’s glare faltered a little, his brown eyes slightly widening from the stoic, but intense glare in Tom’s darker eyes and his slightly tightened grip. After a long tense moment, he sighed and let go of the human’s shoulder. “Look, buddy. We get that we’re Toons, but like it or not, Maroon and the fuckin’ man-brat requested all three of us for this job. So I’ll offer you a deal, let us help out and I’ll split our cut 50-50 considering the time of the century we’re living in. And after that, we’ll be gone by sundown. Deal?”

The disgruntled man glared down at the floor, as if he were blaming it for all his troubles right now, then he sighed. “All right. Deal.” He shook Tom’s hand, then pulled back. “So Herman brought you two in for the same favor, huh?”

“Yeah. Apparently, there’s a rumor going around saying Jessica’s cheating on her husband. Then he sent us your way, but the problem is we don’t have a camera. And with what we got right now ain’t enough to give Herman the proof.” Tom glanced at Twyla, who nodded.

“I see.” Eddie sighed, “Wait here. I don’t want the guys to see me in the bar with you runts.”

He turned around and headed into the entrance. Tom flipped him off behind his back. He nearly bumped into a drunk who reeked of bad B.O. and booze that almost reminded him of the Hellhole and walked over to his sister who leaned against the wall while looking at her cell phone.

“Have you reached Adam and Echo yet?” he asked.

Twyla shook her head, “No. Apparently, there’s no signal in this time period.”

“It’s the 40’s, sis.” Her brother reminded her, taking his hat off to rub his temple. “We’ll try again later. Last thing we need is to make Echo sick with worry and Adam beat the shit out of us with his fuckin’ laptop.”

“Agreed.”

Suddenly, Eddie stormed out of the bar, clenching his fist. Tom saw some pieces of eggshells falling out of his palm and could tell some shit went down. “We’re going straight ahead. My office is in that building.” He spoke gruffly with teeth gritted in fury, jerking his head at a large suburban-styled apartment building across the bar at Hope Street. The trio entered the building and walked up a set of stairs leading to a long hallway with doors. After a few blocks down, Eddie led the twins to an office door labeled “VALIANT & VALIANT, PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS”, and in the center was a badge-designed symbol written “Veritas”. Eddie opened the door to his office.

His office…was a one-room apartment. The walls were tawny brown, hanging up portraits and photographed frames. It had a small kitchen with enough room to fit little a card-playing table and chairs, refrigerator, oven, sink, and thank God there was a bathroom. On the left side of the office stood a couple of dark oak shelves scattered with documents and more bottles of Jack Daniels while a dark brown leather chair stood a few feet away from them. And standing in front of the blinded window stood two office desks connected to each other with a single vintage chair. One was polished, though littered with picture frames, papers, booze, and debris. And the other was organized and well-put but covered in thick dust. There was only an unfinished scrapbook, a magnifying glass, an adorable Betty Boop figurine, rounded spectacles, and a pipe next to two organized pens. Everything was dusty, but untouched.

Eddie sat on the chair where the scattered desk was, obviously his office desk. He motioned for the twins to sit on the chairs around the table and they each grabbed a chair.

“Now if you’re going to work with me, I have to lay down some ground rules for you.” He began, making eye contact with them. “First, never—and I mean never—sit on this desk.” He pointed at the dust-blanketed office desk without taking his eyes off his “partners”. “Second, don’t slack off or goof around like you Toons do.” He added, and Tom held back a murderous growl while Twyla’s fur lightly bristled with equal rage though she was in more control of her composure. “And third of all, don’t do anything even remotely stupid that will embarrass me or get us killed while we’re on the job. Got it?”

Tom and Twyla both silently nodded. “Yes, sir.” The older twin spoke.

“Good. But before I tell you my plan for the evening, I want to know you two more. Who are ya and where are ya from?”

Tom, who was always one step ahead, did all the talking. “The name’s Toonz. Tom Toonz. And this is my twin sister, Twyla,” he motioned to his sister who greeted the man with a curt tilt of her head. Then, he dug down into his pocket to pull out a file containing two copies of their credentials that Twyla so kindly upgraded a while ago. Tom handed the papers over to Eddie. “We were hired by Baby Herman as covert investigators from Chatham, Chicago.”

“Chatham?” Eddie raised a brow, as if he were perturbed by the fact. He looked at the papers’ contents again for confirmation. “Uh, that’s a rough part of town, ain’t it?”

“Yeah, well, Chicago is rough.” Tom responded with a shrug. “But it’s one of the biggest joints out in the city to pull a sleuth job.” When Eddie furrowed his brows in confusion, the male halfie elaborated. “Before we came here, we’ve done some favors, too. Folks would show up on our door, asking us to find some dirt on people on their lists. Cheaters, scammers, liars, folks pilfering and selling recreational goods for their clandestine businesses, you name it.” he finished, trailing off, “Chicago ain’t as big as New York, but the streets are just as tough and crawling with creeps and sleazeballs of all kinds, and thugs itchin’ to take a crack at you.”

Eddie observed the scar on Tom’s right eye, then looked down. He nodded, “Yeah? Is that why you’re packin’ heavy heat?”

Tom followed where he was looking and saw the hostler of his gun coiled around his right hip. He softly cursed and tried to hide it better when Eddie cut him off. “Ah, don’t sweat it, kid. I get it. You’re trained to prepare, and that’s good. You need to use your eyes and ears, or else the pigs will be blowing your house down.”

“Ha-ha, hilarious. You’re a real fuckin’ Charlie Chaplin,” Tom snorted, but Eddie didn’t get irritated from hearing the swear.

Eddie turned to Twyla, “What about you?”

Twyla’s ears drooped, but Tom was kind enough to answer for her. “Um, sir.” He spoke to Eddie, softening his tone while keeping the eye contact firm but steady. “She doesn’t feel comfortable talking just yet.”

The detective rose a brow, but he didn’t get upset. “Just yet?”

“She struggles to speak when she’s out in public and she’s very shy, but once she gets to know you better, she’s only a lady of a few words.” Tom replied.

Thankfully, Eddie dropped it. “OK, I got ya. So you can say she’s more of the silent type?”

“Yeah.” Tom nodded, “But she’s learning some of the same skills as I am. While she struggles in conversation, she makes up for it with tracking skills and finding clues. Plus, she as a keen attention to detail and is an excellent master of stealth.” He grinned proudly at his twin’s adorable attempt to hide her embarrassed, blushing face while trying to shove her brother off his chair. However, she managed to punch him roughly in the shoulder. “Ow!” he rubbed his right arm gingerly, “And did I forget to mention she hits like a guy?”

Unbeknownst to them, Eddie pulled up their papers to hide an amused chuckle. He cleared his throat and lowered the papers, folding his hands together. “All right, back to business.”

“Right.” Tom fixed his jacket before facing the human. “So, what did Maroon tell you?”

“He told me that the rabbit’s got his tail all up in in knots because of his wife, Jessica.” He tossed Tom a folded newspaper, and the twins huddled together to take a closer look. Written in bold black, the headliner read, “Seen Cooing over Calamari with Not-So-New Sugar Daddy was Jessica Rabbit, wife of Maroon Cartoons Star Roger Rabbit”. Eddie continued while the twins read, “Like you said, there’s always a cheater crawling around. Maroon says Jessica’s poison, but Roger thinks she’s Betty Crocker. Maroon wants us to go to the joint she sings at, a little evening hotspot called The Ink & Paint Club and dig up some dirt on her.”

He glanced up at the twins warily. “There’s just one problem, though.”

They looked at him, tilting their heads confusedly. “What’s up?” Tom asked.

“Toons do work there, but the club is Toon-Revue. Strictly humans only,” he responded, hiding his concealed apprehension when the twins’ faces darkened. “I got some trench coats and hats you can borrow, so we’ll pull the old cloak-and-dagger trick and—”

Tom cut him off. “Oh, trust me. There’s no need for that,” he waved dismissively. And then, he pulled into a mischievous grin. “You just leave that to us.” He chuckled.

The twins shared a toothy smile that made Eddie’s blood run cold. Oh fuck, what have I gotten myself into? He thought.

Basement ghost! Basement ghost! Basement ghost! 👻😘🦛

I should have guessed you'd ask about this one! 🩵 I'm so sorry that literally nothing has been added to this in over a year because I tried writing out of order and confused myself enough to basically give up on it. BUT I'm not giving up on it. I want to try to rewrite it (I started, didn't get far lol) but it's going to take some serious focus, which is not something I have an abundance of lately.

Patrick is a ghost! He lives in the basement of the apothecary (let's just assume there's a basement?) and sings to David. So yes, MCD, but there will still be a happy ending, because I said so. One of these days I will figure out how to make that happen.

A snippet:

“Hey, Twyla? Were you saying something about a haunted bathroom the other day?” “Oh, hi David! Yeah! I was telling you about the ghost we had in the employee bathroom for a while. It seems to have vanished though, so I guess it took care of its unfinished business or whatever.” “Weird question for you, but did it ever, um. Sing?” “Oh yeah! Now that you mention it, it did sing sometimes! It always sounded so sad, like it had missed out on something in life before it died. That’s pretty sad, huh?” “Yeah, yeah.” David said, connecting some dots. “Any chance you remember anything it sang, specifically?” Twyla considers the question for a moment before she remembers something. “Yeah, I overheard part of it one time, but I didn’t recognize the lyrics. It was something like ‘be still my beating heart, my life just fell apart’ which is pretty ironic for a ghost, huh?” “Yeah. Wow, that’s a lot darker than what I-” he stops, hoping he hasn’t said too much. He knows Twyla of all people is obviously not going to judge him for talking about a potential ghost in his basement, but he isn’t quite ready to reveal anything just yet. Or ever. He considers the lyrics, and it’s true. They are so much more raw, so sad compared to the hopeful songs he has been hearing. “There were other songs, but nothing I recognized so I don’t really remember the words. That one just stuck in my head, it was just so sad. Almost like it didn’t know it was already dead and its heart had already stilled.”

we see we've been tagged, and, while we're thinking who takes the quiz, here's some wholesome day off news, very briefly: finally jumped from the 88 metres high pipe, saw quite a few good people, danced, screamed, headbanged and managed to communicate with our favourite musician's gf without being blacklisted the day after.

and our 1/6 ship crew got two new members. traditionally, G1 tiny folks don't keep their canonical bio. Ghoulia gets In The Flesh based backstory, because simply "daughter of zombies" sounds too illogical, and the system aboard is Kayle McGrian, whose backstory is very much a version of ☀️'s (maybe i'll curl his hair)

the dolls (mostly Monster High), from left to right, from top to bottom (below the cut):

sitting on Arthur's (yellow long cat plushie) belly: MH River Styxx (in a half-finished handmade dress), customised MH Ghouls Getaway Jane Boolittle (in a full set of handmade clothes), customised MH Dot Dead Gorgeous Spectra Vondergeist (in handmade clothes, with its small yellow cat plushie), Echo (customised 1/6 blue haired doll in handmade clothes).

sitting against Arthur's soft body below: MH Boo York Elle Eedee (her hair untied), Ion (a customised 1/8 doll with blonde hair and fluorescent green eyes, in a handmade dress), MH Gen3 Basic Frankie Stein (lips repainted violet, in their factory jacket, handmade tee and capri pants), MH Save Frankie Jackson Jekyll (in, supposedly, Garrot's pants and Clawd's sneakers), MH Mad Science Ghoulia Yelps (in Cleo's dress), MH Gen3 Creepover Party Twyla Boogeyman (with a long, wide knitted scarf and a bracelet made from real beads), MH Gen3 Skulltimate Secrets 1 Lagoona Blue (lips repainted with teeth, in a handmade tee and necklace, with an orange starfish plushie) and MH Scaris Rochelle Goyle (one leg missing, face fully repainted with less contrasting hues, in handmade hospital clothes)

"Knock 'Em Dead!"

[two-baes]

Not that I'm someone who owns dolls so LMAO WHAT SHOULD IT MATTER TO ME?! but, I'm glad to see the refresh doll for Draculaura is cute! :') I look forward to seeing ACTUAL collectors unboxings of her when she drops, lmfao.

The puffy sleeves are, a Choice, but everything else? very cute! :'o Her little bat bento box, and the charm on her backpack are SUCH cute little details.

Man, all draculaura dolls are so dang cute... like she got an absolute banger of an aesthetic. Very spooky-cute/pastel goth.

like they absolutely NAILED it with her g3 doll designs. I don't think there's any I HATE, tho these three are probs my least favorites, and even then it's just minor nit-picky things I don't like.

like with the first one, it's the yellow-green earrings. Lmfao I just, don't like them, I don't think they're necessary to tie the color on the skirt into the whole look, bc she already has it on her under eye makeup (which I think looks fine! It's just a tiny little pop of the color). I think the earrings being purple to match her lipstick would have looked nicer, or even white, since she doesn't really have any white on her head (unless you count the whites of her eyes which, lmao I don't), and I think it'd tie the look together nicely if she did.

for doll #2, it's the bat-shaped holes that go all around the brim of her hat. They look dumb as shit:

lIKE WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?? It's so stupid and impractical for a vampire, and it ruins an otherwise cute accessory for the doll to have.

and lastly for doll #3…idk, it's just something about the hair style that I don't fully like about the doll… LOVE the giant bow, thought. I'm a big giant bow fan, lmao. I think restyled hair would, for me, bring the doll up to absolute banger tier with the other 13.

honorable mention to Abbey and Twyla who ALSO got a couple p cute dolls (and gr8 color schemes)… they're some of my other favorite MH dolls, after like every single Draculaura lmao.

aCTUALLY u know what? Monster High gen 3 got a surprising amount of dolls I think look nice???

Cleo has some really pretty dolls... can't go wrong w/ ancient Egyptian aesthetic,

and Lagoona has some dolls that I WANT to like— I think she's colorful and fun, but that I don't bc of the weird dots(I think they're supposed to be scales) on her forehead, I think those are ugly and IDK why her doll has them… she doesn't in the series (tho she seems to in her official art…)

Frankie's another one that's got a fun colorful design.

lmao I think the only g3 characters that don't have aNY doll designs I particularly like are Deuce, Ghoulia, and Toralei…

MAYBE Clawdeen too, but she's another of those 'I wANT to like, but' similar to Lagoona, only my thing w/ Clawdeen is a lot of her outfits are ugly, and I HATE her hair color:

these four Clawdeens are the closest to 'okay, I don't completely HATE these—', but none of them are, imo, good. 1-3 have outfits I kind of like(but I hate all their hair colors), and #4 has the hair color I like most of all the Clawdeen dolls, but I hate her outfit lmfao it's so ugly… I've yet to see a Clawdeen doll with both hair color AND outfit that I like on the same doll.

ALSO, I actually recently was able to finally find somewhere to watch MH, and did so, and I'm happy to report Draculaura is my favorite not JUST aesthetically! Also—pleasantly surprisingly—Cleo is a close second fave… I went in expecting like, 'bitchy popular girl' or s/t from her, but she's a sweetheart, and I love her...(I also think Cleo/Frankie is a bit out of nowhere and she'd be cuter with clawdeen, bUT, that is irrelevant). I actually like all of the mains, tho don't/didn't care much for Toralei, bc SHE was giving the bitchy thing I was expecting from Cleo—but she seems like she gonna get better/have character growth? so that's good and maybe I'll like her more…
