Banger after banger after banger on here!

Favorite Songs:

Open The Floodgates

Free In The Knowledge

Skirting On The Surface

Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You - Big Thief

School List

Ok So I’m only doing this cuz I really lost a whole year somehow with everything going on - Went back to the last school list to double check Scout’s age like how did I lose a year. Whaaaaaaaat? Scout was still listed as junior and I was thinking oh man. If we missed prom They missed graduation. No way that wasn’t made a big deal of in the Laveau household. 

Nigel - Zombie in Feral

Babyface - Freshman (due to 2x failure) -  Currently living on the street and never finished with Circe or Halloweentown or the human public school system. His mother and Black Arts Beagle will have something to say about this when they come fully into the picture. They are not going to agree on what he should do next. 

Lance  Zombie in Feral

School 

Halloweentown High

Spade -  Graduated with honors - Halloweentown High Alumni 

Lena -  Feral Zombie with a cursed entity inside

Hypno - Feral Zombie

Libi Heart - Feral Zombie

Ace - Feral Zombie

The Nola High Population that no longer exists and is now called Feral

Jax - Sophomore - TBA (also there’s a real part of me that wants to say they’re on the island cuz I miss them as a way to cop out and bring them back later but can’t decide so not labeling them as zombies)

Mazzie - Sophomore TBA

Ellie - Junior - Current dropout traveling with Babyface Beagle (not sure if she should be a senior by now or if due to all that went down she never made it and would still be at junior status if she started again even though it’s probably at the point these guys would probably opt into a GED program if they continued now)

New Zealand - Auckland High Kiwis

GoGo - Graduated

Scout - Graduated

Seven is still enrolled in Mortuary Science School -  Feral Zombie

Note: Chip and Pips got their wings

Other Feral Notes that have nothing to do with schools but the younger generation: 

When the Feral lock down went down I don’t want to forget Chernabog’s son was locked in too. He is not a zombie and survived in shadow form and was hiding in Pixie Hollow. It’s how he wasn’t found or affected. That’s what Bastien was speaking about when he spoke of a moving shadow to Maddy some while back and comparing it to Peter Pan. He was at Skull Rock when all this started spying on Atticus’s meeting before the zombie riot and got stuck in when Delta shut it down with the dance spell. So if the dwelling of Feral does find tortured or mutilated carcasses of strange kinds, animals, fae, what have you that don’t seem natural anywhere, oocly, let it be known, it can be from him. We know what he’s like. He won’t be able to not be himself forever. 

Lena’s zombie still houses the soul of Magica De Spell. She was already a magic object. So her zombie isn’t normal because her shell isn’t normal. She has no control. She’s stuck. She’s trying to figure out how to communicate from within the zombie, but it’s worse than trying to control Lena. To say the least she’s in a pickle. 

Chernabog is still in Delta’s necklace. 

Barrel is pretty aggravated about the island he procured for his mother being behind Delta’s fairie ring. 

Spade isn’t because she’s bored of the whole school thing and even though it sucks to be upped is young and more interested in making a name for herself like her mother and be a real someone in the Boogie Empire. Fans are so much easier to rally, seduce, and persuade than people are to educate, and so much more fun. 

CJ still has possession of the black cauldron. 

The Horned King is still dancing.

The Black Keys have a song on their Dropout Boogie album called “Your Team is Looking Good”. The next line goes but not as good as ours. And that my friends is song for Harris/Walz. Hey we see you over there but we’re fucking better and your sorry asses know it. I should correct the songs title to “you think your team is looking good”

“You know how they say in sports that an opponent has gotten inside the other team’s head? Well, Harris and Tim Walz have certainly gotten inside Trump’s head.”
