Did anyone else just?…. Hate the finale?

Monster high G3 Finale spoilers below!

Okay. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not hating on the being true to yourself message. That was sweet. And i genuinely got moved when hearing Headmistress Bloodgood talk about Deuce Draculaura and Clawdeen. That was so fucking sweet and op.

but? What the fuck. Did everyone just up and forget about toralei? Why did the writers think it was okay for them to completely spit on her and Clawdeens relationship?

We open and what’s the first fucking thing Clawdeen does? EXCLUDE TORALEI FROM A BOO CREW MEETING. Like?!? What the fuck Clawdeen. She did that shit in the season 1 finale and realized how wrong that was and apologized.

and so what?! She just? Forgot that shit? Decided Toralei was untrustworthy again? That all of their character growth meant nothing?!

not even that but toralei even calls after them. She almost begs them to include her and Clawdeen literally slams the door in her face.

then Toralei enters mentioning the little paws. And Clawdeen just shoves all the kids onto her and still doesn’t include her in the plan. She even shoves whiskerene on her. Which. Ngl. Whiskerine was acting a hell a lot like fucking Catarina at the beginning. So for Clawdeen to do that knowing Toralei’s past is fucking LOW.

NOT EVEN THAT. But what was one of Clawdeens last lines in season one? Something along the lines of ‘And I gotta help toralei recover with the aftermath’

CLAWDEEN DIDNT DO SHIT?! She literally didn’t help toralei AT FUCKING ALL. In fact NO ONE DID. Everyone continued to ignore the fuck out of her and not a single person helped her. Except maybe the Hawk cheerleading coach. But literally NO ONE helps toralei. Toralei goes through all the shit she went through in family day on her own and then all of that is just NEVER MENTIONED AGAIN. Besides one throw away line that her and her mom are in family therapy.

like HUH?! Then the finale comes. NOTHING. We have NO FUCKING IDEA what happens to her. We have no idea where she’s even LIVING. We have no idea if her Mom is changing. Or is still being a continuous piece of shit. Like?! Hello. Maybe I’m just being silly. But as someone who also has an abusive mother. As someone who connects with toralei so deeply. Too see her basically shoved to the side. Ignored. Left out again. Not get any update if things are going better or not. Is absolutely soul crushing. Like some Giant confirmation that her life isn’t any better and nothing changed and everything is still horrible?!

And what the fuck. Where did all my Clawdeen and toralei interactions go??? We were giving so much Toradeen and then it just? Stopped? Not even a crumb? It’s pathetic. It’s depressing. The idea that you build this beautiful friendship only for Clawdeen to exclude toralei AGAIN in the finale hurts me so bad. Like no matter what you try people still won’t trust you.

Whiskerene only changed because of TORALEI. Like. If anything, Toralei should be the wereruler. She’s made the biggest changes. She cared for the school and all the kids in Clawdeens wake. She doesn’t even get credit for that.

Clankie is adorable. I did love that. Draculaura and Clawd are adorable. Loved them.

but like? Come on. The shapeshifter ending felt like such a cop out. He shifts into a random polar bear form and what? He’s forgiven? He imprisoned people for MONTHS. Posed as others for who knows how many years. I’m not saying I don’t have empathy. I do. But I feel like they closed that aspect way to damn quickly.

I’m mainly just in tears about toralei. For them to give her all this trauma and backstory. Just to give us zero resolution AND have the boo crew continue to exclude and not stand up for her? That’s fucking heartbreaking

Ever After High AU

Okay I wanted to ramble about my MH x EAH AU so if you wanna hear about that then sit down because this is gonna be a long one. A couple of things to know about this AU:

The actual EAH characters do not exist in this Au. (Except for Milton Grimm, but that's really just because I needed someone to be headmaster while the parents were in school.)

This is actually version 2.0 of this AU, it has been in development for over a decade atp. I am very indecisive and have written almost no actual plot for this version, so most things are subject to change.

It is mainly based off of G1, but I have taken a couple of things I liked from G3. (And nothing from G2)

In this AU it is still widely believed that if people do not follow their destinies it will lead to the death of everyone in that story.

All that being said, let's get into some of the characters:

Nora Bloodgood: Nora is the daughter of the Headless Horseman, like in MH. (I thought about it and asked some people and I decided that if stuff like Alice in Wonderland can be included in EAH then Sleepy Hollow can too, argue with the wall. /j)

In this AU the role she fills is actually 2-part and has been for generations. The first is that of Ichabod, who then is beheaded and becomes the Headless Horseman. Most people don't really remember when this started, but story goes that a long time ago a future Ichabod had a child while a future Horseman didn't, and instead of Fairytale Magic assigning a random extra child the destiny, it decided to make the process more efficient. Nora does not look forward to her destiny, but most people would be surprised about which part scares her most. It's not turning into the Horseman - it's what she's fated to do after. Nora becomes Headmistress of EAH after Milton retires. Her experiences at the school were not always 100% great, but she enjoyed meeting lifelong friends and many of the opportunities she had, and her goal is to make it to where the current generation can reap those benefits while also encouraging them to be themselves. Hexiciah Wood: Hexiciah is the son of Pinnochio. He also has a cyclical destiny - that of Pinnochio and then Geppetto. He is overall positive about his destiny, as the prospects of traveling the world and getting into all sorts of adventures is exciting to him. He grew up with a fairy mother, the Blue Fairy that brought him to life. Due to this he is much more comfortable with the supernatural than many of his peers. Being made of wood during his formative years also left him a bit too daring, as he couldn't exactly be hurt in many of the ways others could. He occasionally walks the line between courage and recklessness. When he is older, he builds Robecca, who is supposed to inherit his destiny. She is a robot rather than a puppet because he prefers metalworking. Many people find this odd, but seeing as it doesn't break the story, it's not paid too much attention. Hex has always been known to be eccentric anyhow. Robecca Wood: As stated above, Robecca is supposed to inherit her father's destiny. Unfortunately, the current generation's Blue Fairy that brought her to life decided to give her the "gift" of having to tell the truth. Her father grew up mostly unable to lie, as people would be able to tell - but for Robecca it's taken a step further. Not only can she physically not tell a lie, she also often feels compelled to tell the truth. This occasionally clashes with her generally polite demeanor. Her friends and parents try to be mindful of how they word questions around her in order to not make her discuss anything she'd rather not. Frankie Ella: Frankie is the child of Cinderella. Their parents desperately wanted a child but could not have one, and so Hexiciah's mother assisted them as she did with Geppetto. This was a large feat of "out of story" magic, and as such it's not as strong as it should be. Due to this, Frankie's limbs have a habit of floating away at the most inconvenient times. They don't dislike their destiny; it sounds fine and the Charming that they are meant to live Happily Ever After with is super cute and sweet. Still, they're new to the world, and they can't help but find the whole destiny thing a bit suffocating - I mean, they're still learning who they are and they're already being told exactly how their life will go! They can't help but wonder why. And what if it was different? Cleo De Hair: Cleo is the daughter of Rapunzel, and the 2nd child in a 1 destiny family. This means that Nefera already took the role of Rapunzel and Cleo is left unsure of what her destiny will be. For years it was assumed that the role of Cinderella would be bestowed upon her, as it is considered the most prestigious destiny, and she is the daughter of the most prestigious Charming family.

This was proven wrong by Frankie, shattering much of her worldview. She ends up misplacing this disappointment and pressure from her family into anger towards Frankie. (Eventually she realizes that this is unfair and the two patch things up.) Cleo grew up being made to hang out with Jackson Charming, her supposed prince. They never really liked each other romantically, but they did grow to be friends after so much time. Claudine Hood: Claudine is the daughter of Red Riding Hood (and secretly, the Big Bad Wolf). Clawd and Howleen are her siblings, but no one outside of the family knows this. Unlike her mother, she likes to experiment a bit more with her style. She's known to wear all sorts of different cloaks and hoods, in all different colors, patterns, and styles. She is a fashion icon around campus, and this is considered her signature piece. (It's unknown to them that she's hiding her wolf ears.) Many of the students come to her to design all of their fableous looks for the damn galas they seem to have every other week. Some even say she's better than the Fairy Godmothers! Laura White: Laura is the daughter of Snow White. With her skin as white as snow, hair as black as night, and blood red lips, the girl almost looks undead. Her mother embraced every part of her destiny - even some of the darker bits. Because of this Laura was never very scared of them, and even pays tribute in her fashion, adding coffin motifs and gothic elements. I have more ideas but I'll leave it there for now. If there's any questions or thoughts feel free to let me know!

Monster High IDW Comics Review: Part 7 of ?: Monster High IDW Issue 1: Part 2

Okay, we got Issue 1’s miscellaneous information out of the way, time for the innards! Show us the story!!

As always, here is the very first part of these reviews/breakdowns:

https://www.tumblr.com/taybatwo2/754406016295321600/monster-high-idw-comics-review-part-13-the-fcbd?source=share

And here is the first part covering issue 1 (review part 6):

https://www.tumblr.com/taybatwo2/772726504008384512/monster-high-idw-comics-review-part-6-of?source=share

The comic page breakdown is under the cut, bubbles are whited out to try and circumvent copyright.

Page 1:

The first page has the “CryptCrier” telling the reader/students of Monster High that two shady figures are in Monster High and are wanting to talk to Headmistress Bloodgood.

Bloodgood is NOT happy that these “shady figures” are requesting her to do….something…we don’t know what yet. She says the students have been through too much and she doesn’t want them traumatized farther (I AM NOT looking forward to cracking open and making my Once Bitten break down). The Shady figures threaten her again.

Pros:

The artwork, lighting, and aesthetics all blend in really well the G1’s 2D cartoon.

Callbacks:

There was a shady figure threatening Frankie’s dad in the Free Comic Book issue too.

G1’s Bloodgood never had axe earrings, those are inspired by G3’s scythe/axe earrings (but they look good on her here).

Page 2:

Bloodgood is still not giving in to their unknown demands and says she’s the one that gives the orders around here (you tell them!). They call her bluff and she is about to call “her nightmare” on them (so she’s Nightmare the nightmare…Bloodgood! You could do better than that). The shadowy figures cut her off by asking if she knew Hexiciah.

She stops and says that “he set off on an expedition months ago and never returned.” They claim he is NOT LOST!! Dun-Dun-DUN.

Pros:

HEXICIAH! I love it when he shows up (and they really lean hard on Bloodgood and Hexiciah’s relationship. >:3 ).

Callbacks:

We are reminded that Bloodgood’s first name is Nora.

Nitpicks:

Nightmare is not known to be intimidating; the back of Bloodgood’s doll’s box reading: “her nervous demeanor belies her rather intimidating name, she is almost always ready to charge into any situation at a moment’s notice…almost.” She is even quoted to have “boughts of fear and panic” on the Monster High wiki. But! She can breathe fire…which is intimidating. I also don’t think Nightmare was a literal “nightmare” before? I believe she was some sort of shadow or demonic horse (specifically based off the demonic blue horse from Denver, Colorado’s airport)

I think Nora deserves to brandish an axe or some fiery jack o’lanterns to protect the school. And I assume that Hexiciah is missing AGAIN…? He was just found by Robecca with the help of Ghoulia after he was missing for ~100 years (according to Robecca and Hexiciah’s SDCC diaries). Someone put a tracking device on this man!!

Part 3:

The shadowy figures show her a picture of Hexiciah and claim they’ve tracked him down and know where he is. If she joins them, they can be reunited.

Bloodgood once again picks Monster High over her love for this guy (apparently why they are not officially together).

The shadowy figures are not too happy to hear this and the CryptCrier makes the beginning of a dark joke about her removable head.

Pros:

Hexiciah is here again.

Bloodgood’s heartbreaking emotions are drawn well here, buuuut

Nitpick:

…..her hands in that last panel look very strange.

Page: 4

Bloodgood has a good head on her shoulder’s until she doesn’t. Ha. Good one CryptCrier. good one. The Shadowy figures take her body and her head and leave a clue.

Pros:

Again, I really like how they draw her face. Especially in that third panel. So lovely. The line work is also very nice in this issue.

Nitpicks:

They used the same hand base for three out of the four hands in this image, which was humorous to notice.

Page 5:

It’s the first day of the New Scaremester (like the comic’s NAME!!) The CryptCrier reminds the readers that normies threatened Monster High last year, the school literally almost fell apart, and morale is at an all time low. Except for FRANKIE (who is trying to cheer up Clawdeen). Mr. D’eath is welcoming the students back (it makes sense that the counselor would be front and center). Frankie is catching up with Clawdeen. Her summer was great because she spent most of it in her dad’s lab where he was specifically studying her brain…a lot more than usual….(I’m sure it’s nothing).

Pros:

I think I’m going to say the artwork is great on every page, but Frankie, Clawdeen, and Abbey especially look so well drawn here. I like the backpack designs in the first panel (Heath’s being partially opened is just like him), Johnny’s being a guitar case is fun (but that’s Operetta’s instrument, not Johnny’s), and Jinafire’s is fun but simple.

Callback:

There are several backgrounders on this page (Jinafire, Abbey, Heath, Johnny Spirit, Operetta, Gil, and Lagoona) AND maybe Miss Sylphia Flapper, a villain and teacher (Dragonomics and Dragon Whispering 101) from the Ghoulfriend Book Series standing next to Mr. D’eath (he had been interested in dating her) and Valentine. ….which would be kinda funny because both Miss Flapper and Valentine could control others… but the way she is colored almost looks like Raven Rhapsody. Maybe she also turned over a new leaf? But in the Ghoulfriends books, Bloodgood was also kidnapped…she really needs some security measures.

Nitpicks:

In the Free Comic Book Issue, Frankie was saying that her father hadn’t left his lab/office very often that summer and was hoping to spend some time with him before school started. I assume the shadowy figure not only threatened his work, but is having him build another franken-monster (hence his sudden interest in her brain in the (latter half??) of the summer).

None of the ghouls seem happy with their boos: Abbey looks beautiful, but pissed….and…I really wish she was drawn taller than Heath (hey, they’re already taking stuff from G3, they might as well take that too), Operetta looks glum with Johnny, and despite Gil looking happy with Lagoona, she doesn’t seem happy with him in the second panel. Granted this is probably because the “morale is at an all-time low.”

Page 6:

Clawdeen says that she is happy that Frankie got to spend more time with her dad (remember that apparently her mom doesn’t exist in this time line).

And Frankie asks her how her parents and Toralei are doing. Clawdeen says it’s been tough. Toralei left her on red after they (not putting the blame on either of them) broke up this summer (that Summer Fangout Pride Magazine is looking more and more worse for ware) and her parents won’t speak to each other (I assume that more information about that can be found in the book…?).

Pros:

Look at Clawdeen’s and Frankie’s face in that first panel! So cute. I also like how the artist makes sure to draw Clawdeen’s nails more claw like.

I’m also happy to see they’re still using iCoffins. :3

Callbacks:

Clawdeen and Toralei’s relationship was shown in part of the Monster High Pride Comic….kinda…

Nitpicks:

…..G1 Clawdeen and Toralei’s relationship not being built well in the Pride comic (in my opinion) PLUS the fact that they’re already broke up here puts a sour taste in my mouth. If you’re going to put these ghouls together (especially since they HATED each other in ALL G1 media), you’ve got to SELL IT.

I don’t like that first Frankie doesn’t have her mom at at all in this version and they changed her dad’s personality from the G1 diaries, but now they are breaking up Clawdeen’s family?!? WHY!? And why is Clawd going with him? I also think his design is boring here and he looks like just a tired, older Clawd or one of her unnamed older brothers (seen here in Clawd’s Figure Collection Diary).

Clawdeen’s dad’s arms look a bit off in the third panel. In my opinion, Clawd looks a tad bit too baby faced compared to the cartoon (he’s also missing his earring in both of these pictures); he’s giving more G3 youthful energy.

Page 7:

Frankie asks if Clawdeen’s parents are really splitting up and Clawdeen says she thinks it’s “fur real this time.” Frankie tries to cheer Clawdeen up by getting her mind off of her personal life by getting ghouls together and getting “murktails” (I still don’t like the pun and I still don’t see mock-tails as being popular with high schoolers….but I’m not in that age range so I could be mistaken), hitting the maul, doing each other’s claws. But Clawdeen isn’t so sure.

Pros:

Frankie is a cutie patootie and the most in-character in this whole comic (especially in that last panel). I also just want to give Clawdeen a big hug too.

Nitpicks:

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU THINK IT’S “FUR REAL THIS TIME?” Why is every single relationship broken in this G1 timeline?!?

Page 8:

Clawdeen calls Draculaura “the distant,” and is worried about all the work she has taken on/her disappearance since last Scaremester. Frankie tells her she was referring to Cleo and Draculaura (I guess Lagoona isn’t really included in this friend group). Clawdeen is not having it and refuses to spend any time with Cleo after she spread the rumor that Clawdeen was stealing Deuce.

Frankie tries to calm her down and tells her that she knows they miss each other.

But Clawdeen is firm and won’t talk to Cleo until she apologizes (that’s fair!).

The bell for class rings.

Pros:

Clawdeen looks great in the third and fifth panel. Frankie’s profile and serious hair volume in that last panel looks stinking cute.

Callbacks:

Again, more things happened last semester in the Once Bitten book (especially to Draculaura). Draculaura is wearing her G3 Core backpack.

Nitpicks:

Clawdeen being after Deuce makes absolutely no sense unless you’ve been watching the G3 live action movies. This plot point would make more sense if it was Rochelle (who does have a crush on Deuce and I think was still kinda wavering between the forbidden Deuce and her love for Garrott), or literally anyone else. Maybe bring back Amanita and have her be a flirt, I dunno SOMETHING else.

Page 9:

Later on in class, Mr. Rotter tells the class to quiet down.

Pros:

What a beautiful page! The background is gorgeous, and it’s nice seeing a bunch of characters and even Mr. Rotter again. Manny looks like his normal grumpy self, Lagoona is super cute here (look at her little fish ears), Spectra is on her phone and you can see her shoulder, hair, and phone outline in her hands, and Abbey is trying to bump Heath awake.

Callbacks:

The castle painting looks kinda similar to the one that Draculaura attended/lived in in Transylvania (as seen in “Why do Ghouls fall in Love?”). I dunno, it looks very similar to some other castle and I can not put my finger on it.

Page 10:

After quieting the class, Mr. Rotter tells them that Draculaura is a “special guest speaker” and has been informing all of the hisstory classes of a change in school policy. CryptCrier informs us/them that Dracula died last year and Draculaura was thrust into leading the School Board. Pros:

It’s nice to see more Mr. Rotter, a nice profile of Heath, and Draculaura looks adorable here: poof!

Callbacks:

Draculaura can tap into all her vampire powers here, I guess. Her bat form is different to her G1 episode’s (and while I miss her pigtails I think it’s an improvement) and her very plain “Frights, Camera, Action” bat form:

Nitpicks:

To no one’s surprise, I’m not fond of Dracula dying and Draculaura (a STUDENT and not the most powerful vampire around mind you) becoming in charge of a school council (that apparently runs the monster world).

Ugh, well this Issue 1 will have to have a third part for the last ten pages since I ran out of room for pictures.

As always, what are your thoughts? Anything I miss?? Let me know. :)

Here is the third and final part to Issue 1, and part 8 of my whole IDW retrospective.
