#i guess I'm looking for a new no-frills notes app

[invinciblerodent]

............. my notes app has a subscription now

I could, were I the sort of person, buy a lifetime subscription to my offline note-taking app, the one I use to write shopping lists and to blearily write nonsense when I can't sleep at 4 am

maybe we're primed for eradication as a species

[sp00ky-scary]

Writing down ideas for a Monster High, not au or rewrite but I guess my own G4? Idk it's just vague ideas rn and entirely copy pasted from my notes app so if there are spelling or grammar errors no there's not :]

There's a lot so I'm hiding them

Monster High - Established as a high school (boarding so almost all the students live there) in the USA for teenage monsters to have community, complete their education (or get one if they never had one) (or just get one like a regular person if they're a monster who's born not turned/created), and learn more about the monster world.

Plot (kinda) - No specific main character but Draculaura, Clawdeen, and Frankie are equally important, Draculaura is president of the student council (both the oldest and youngest to be, she's over 100 but she's only a sophomore) and Clawdeen and Frankie are new students arriving during their sophomore year (Clawdeen already did her freshmen year at human highschool and Frankie was homeschooled for a year and has been put with their approximate age group). Plot mostly consists of school shenanigans and travelling places (except that's either school relevant or done during the holidays for the most part no travelling to Boo York like a week into the semester or anything like that). Also no high schoolers dealing with generational beef and all that, just focusing on school life and adventures with the occasional crazy plot.

Lagoona Blue - purple, blue, black, Latina and Asian (Japanese? Some of her g3 dolls have Japanese food and it gave me the idea, idk though), creepy cute, sharp teeth and huge eyes, always looks drowned/like she just got out of a body of water, gyaru influence, eats fish and other sea creatures IS NOT a cannibal it's simply how the food chain works, very go with the flow, lives with her mum whilst her dad and siblings are in Japan (assuming I keep that idea) (they aren't divorced her mum just had family stuff going on in her home country and Lagoona wanted to go and then somehow ended up at Monster High)

Spectra Vondergeist - 2000s scene queen, popular on MySpace before she died, died in a car crash probably, antagonist, desi (half, other half is white, also the half where she got the German last name from), purples, very monotone, runs an popular undead gossip blog that's mostly just rumours and lies and she feels no guilt over it

Howleen Wolf - into scene but is about 15 years late to it, total Spectra fangirl, pink, blue, orange, neon, childish, paw prints on everything, would be a kemonomimi if it weren't for the fact she is already a werewolf, she rly leans into the wolf thing though, Clawdeen's little sister

Clawdeen Wolf - fashion designer, rly into retro and vintage, specifically the 1990s, rly into thrifting, animal print, furs, browns, purples, gold, orangey pinks, plays with hairstyle a lot, sorta looks like she came out of a 90s magazine or music video, needs glasses to see (imagine being a werewolf and still needing glasses), played soccer as a kid

Cupid - skeleton from the 1950s, she's not literally Cupid or connected to the gods she's just really into romance, still runs a radio show, entirely vintage style down to like her hair and makeup routine (how does she have those when she's a skeleton? ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯), is Cupid even her real name? who knows, pink, frills, red, white, rose gold or bronze idk, 40s-50s, hearts and feathers (still keeping some angelic elements)

Frankie Stein - not literally the child of Frankenstein but a scientist couple recreating Victor Frankenstein's work in order to create a child of their own (infertility? gay couple? incompatible species? idk), frazzled style, a little punk, school uniform vibes, black and white with pops of colour (blue and yellow, maybe pink, occasionally green), lightning/electricity motif, covered in piercings, tall and square

River Styxx - doesn't attend Monster High, pastel goth but also decora, would use whatever the monster equivalent of 2010s Tumblr is, not really bound by time

Toralei Stripe - British, desi, 1970s punk, singer, orange, black, clothes very torn and shredded, lots of layers, leather and plaid, thrifted, when she starts dating Clawdeen they do clothing diys and such together, temporary antagonist

Iris Clops - really 1960s-70s hippie type, flowy, greens and browns, a little bit of purple, swirls and psychedelic vibes, also a little mod, (keeping her g3 body type)

Draculaura - black, pink, white, the occasional yellow or pastel purple, gothic, lolita, sort of stuck in the Victorian era but with modern elements, skins pink because idk vampire weirdness or from her illness, dyes her hair (maybe IWTV vampire hair logic? then she'd be redying it frequently but that works to explain how it's always changing), her backstories to long but from late Victorian England, almost died of disease, Dracula turned her and then adopted her, her mother is missing, (she's still Taiwanese but very disconnected from her culture, more connected with Romanian culture as she lived there with Dracula for a few decades after her turning), she likes hats and umbrellas, puffy, bows, frills, short and round, in like every school club ever, except the gardening club, not that one

Cleo de Nile - from ancient Egypt but only entered the modern world recently, threw herself into modern clothing, very with the trends but keeps elements of ancient Egyptian culture, heavy makeup, golds, blues, aqua, orange, occasionally bronze, lots of accessories, sheer fabrics, shiny, highest of high heels, wears wigs, has bandages but clothes also mimic bandages, feels the need to prove herself and her wealth and status

Elissabat - turned in the 1980s, trad goth mixed with romantic goth, ran into Draculaura in the 1990s, purples and black, lacey, flowy, long, very covered, big boots, tall and pointy, elegant, did some acting as a human and vampire in the 80s and 90s under the name Veronica Von Vamp and developed a slight cult following before disappearing in the 2000s (attends Monster High after they accidentally find her on a drama club/class trip to Hauntlywood?)

Robecca Steam - steampunk, another one from the late 1800s, desi (kinda, she's a robot but she was designed to theoretically be because Hexiciah is), browns, blues, copper and bronze, metal and leather, harnesses, frills, a little masc, googles, hats, less rich Victorian, more working class

Venus Mcflytrap - literally just G3 Venus idk what to tell you

Honey Swamp - not too different from G1 but she's a MH student from the start, and her outfit is cuter (nothing against her G1 design she's one of my faves) cottagecore, flowery, pastels, greens and purples, into cinematography and gardening (in the gardening club with Venus? Dating Venus?)

Deuce Gorgon - finally a boy, punk mixed with grunge, almost the average alt teen boy in the 2000s but cooler, sunglasses, browns, oranges, greens, leather, snake skin (fake), spikes, metal but idk what metal, return of the snake mohawk, not actually the son of Medusa just the son of a female Gorgon, maybe she can be called Medusa anyway and it's like a joke that she's Medusa but not THE Medusa

Viperine Gorgon - Deuce's cool older cousin, makeup artist, not a student at Monster High (plot she helps out as the makeup artist with the drama club?), retro, boho, hippie, pinks and baby blue, a little yellow/cream, more snakey than Deuce because she's older, all her hair is snakes, paisley patterns

Skelita Calaveras - just G3 Skelita tbh, maybe not the magic though just because I don't really feel like incorporating magic

Heath Burns - that guy who wears branded sports wear all the time, orange, yellow, black, blue, burnt, fire, lava, yk that one concept art of g3 Heath, buzzed but with fire hair, fire elementals have regular hair and fire hair, his regular hair is shaved, I don't think this makes sense to non Australians but his outfits would kinda have eshay vibes, he's not one but he'd dress like one

Clawd Wolf - you know Troy Bolton? Like he does basketball and theatre basically, and it's like a little bit of a conflict but only because his schedule clashes often, ripped jeans, varsity jackets, t-shirts with musicals on them, basketball jerseys, sneakers like all the time no matter the occasion, sorta always looks like he just came from basketball practice or drama club (because he probably did), Clawdeen's twin
