Jackson and Holt MH headcanon - music trigger

Actually on the topic of music: I just thought of a way the Jackson holt music trigger could work (as written by a musician trying to procrastinate on a music assignment or two): Okay so we know from the webisodes, diaries, and movies that Jackson turns into holt when music "with a 4/4 time signature above 90db" plays" However, music is a broad range. And Jackson didn't transform in that one Monster Mashionals epsiodes. Plus if I remember right, it's canon that Holt makes his own music besides DJing. There's gonna be breaks in the music to switch songs, pauses in songs, plus you can't blast music while trying to mix a song cuz that does not work and does not end up going well (that was a nightmare when I tried it-) especially at the sound levels of a hairdryer. Plus, they transformed outside a party once. Outside. So here's my theory: Holt is just triggered by music with a 4/4 time signature. It's a bit deeper than that.

Consider: he transforms when the music is in a genre or by an artist he likes (hence why Jackson would need headphones for the Justin Biter concert but not for a fearleading competition), and the more he enjoys a certain kind of music the more likely hit is he can become the main personality. The music doesn't actually have to be 90db, that just happened to be the sound level needed to get Holt out for the music they played during the music trigger test. So in theory if you blasted William Tell's overture loud enough Holt could theoretically come out, but because he's not really into that stuff he isn't gonna pop out unless he's actively trying or something. Now to the "music must always be playing for him to be out"

My theory is that there's a few seconds- maybe half a minute- before the trigger happens and Jackson is back. Jackson will come back out sooner if music Holt dislikes comes out (see: elevator music, Deuce's Boo York diary), but this leaves time for Holt to be able to mix a new song, do some DJ announcing stuff during a party, get past a pesky ad break, whatever. It also gives him some time to quickly pull up a new playlist if the one he's on ends, but he still needs to be out. Jackson always takes a moment after hearing music before he transforms, so theoretically it's the same for Holt. I imagine if it's loud enough, say, right in his ears, Holt might trigger during a classical concert. Or a very slow song in a rock concert would get Jackson popping out, if Holt was especially not a fan.

Tldr: the music trigger can work you just need to know that not all 4/4 music is equal because classical music can be wild, I'm pretty sure th Beethhoven 9 ode to joy section (in 4/4 time and played very very loud) isn't making Holt come out anytime soon.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk

Idk if it’s canon or not but I love the idea of them making voice recordings for each other in order to share information/complain

Anyways Holt’s ass IS NOT listening to that recording

[spookedlev]

my HCs for holt and jackson

JJ and HH as they currently are have a mental block keeping their thoughts and memories separate, though things can leak through (ex: knowing who Drac was). They communicate through recordings, texts, notes, and daily diary entries (just to make sure the other knows what happened that day).

As they mature, in addition to their trigger likely changing, this block softens until they can talk to each other in their head and they fully share memories (though they still feel like someone else’s memories to each.)

Because they share a body, it’d be a waste of time to try and make both HH and JJ take all the classes. So they split the subjects up between each other and switch based on whoever’s class is up. Who fronts during lunch and free time is a toss-up unless one of them made plans, so they just do whatever and their friends work around it.

They go by he/they pronouns in a specific way. When referring to a personality, use he. When referring to the body, use they. Obviously, if referring to both, use they. Ex: • “Where’s Jackson?” “They’re in the library.” • “What does Holt like to eat?” “He likes spicy food.” • “Who are HH and JJ descendants of?” “They’re descendants of Jekyll and Hyde.”

I’ll probably add more later if I think of any worth sharing :)

Jackson and Holt but after their trigger turns to music their clothes don’t switch with them

So they clash styles and fight for a while (and end up looking ridiculous in public as a result) until they find a way to mash their styles in a way that works for both of them:

If Holt dresses the body, he has to pack a solid color button up, a bowtie, and a sweater vest for Jackson (Holt usually has a bag prepared ahead of time so he can just grab it and go).

If Jackson dresses the body, he has to pack Holt’s jacket and a T-shirt (that’s been pre-approved by the Holtster and isn’t dorky). Jackson preps morning of- He puts at least a little effort into making sure the shirts he picks for Holt match their pants.

Usually they wear pants in any shade of black, gray, or brown. Sometimes other neutrals. If either of them plans to wear patterned pants (or pants that don’t “basically match everything”) they have to pack a pair of solid black pants too.

When Holt packs clothes for Jackson, they’re just thrown into a bag. When Jackson packs clothes for Holt, they’re in a neat pile.

They always have Jackson’s glasses and Holt’s headphones with them, that’s just a given.

Of course, it’s still not perfect and likely never will be. Sometimes either of them will push the other to pack extra accessories. Sometimes what Holt has prepared ahead of time for Jackson doesn’t match their pants and shoes the day of at all. Sometimes they “forget” things for the other and sometimes they genuinely forget.

They own a few pieces of reversible clothing, with each of them claiming a side. They’d probably have more, if Holt didn’t claim that a lot of reversible clothing was “lame inside and out”.

Monster High Head-Canons (g1)

monster high head-canons!

heath has ADHD

Clawdeen's family is from Brooklyn and got chased out.

spectra and Twyla run into each other in the walls of MH all the time (Twyla sometimes lectures Spectra for spying on people)

Clawdeen started getting feelings for Toralei during the sport webisodes when Toralei joined all the sports due to being competitive.

Howleen's straight pink hair is a lace-front because her mom doesn't want her to dye it yet (is jealous of Clawdeen because of it)

Clawdeen dyes her hair constantly but because her fur grows so fast its back to normal in just a few days, she is constantly trimming it.

Werewolf's commonly tuck their tails into their clothes or trim the fur because they don't like altering clothes and their tails are thicker than were-cats

Frankie is poly

Frankie is also intersex (franken monster)

Deuce and Cleo have spa dates because their skin dries out and they need extra moisturization.

Venus and Clawdeen had a fling

Clawd's mom cuts his fur for him because he always butches it

Lagoona and Gill sneak out every other friday

Lagoona taught everyone how to understand zombie and has her own class/ study group for it at MH

slow-mo has a speeding problem

jackson and holt didn't know their grandfather's story until Frankie and the ghouls took him to the library and showed him the documents (Dr.jekyll and Mr.hyde)

Clawd and Clawdeen are from the same litter but Clawd was premature and Clawdeen was late. Clawdeen kicked him out of the womb (originally twins meant to be born at the end of February, beginning of march)

toralei beats up other bullies (especially ones she deems takes it too far) but no one ever knows because it "could ruin her rep"

draculaura has to be reassured about her and clawd's relationship consistently bc of their age gap

Clawdeen struggles to not chase balls and whistles like clawd, the whistles hurt her ears

ghoulia is acesexual

Kieran Valentine is a charcuterie type of guy for any occasion.

Deuce is a Roblox kid. He plays it whenever he's bored

Holt likes Spraycheese in a can. Holt LOVES the stuff but Jackson HATES it

He can also probably eat a super big party sub or something.

Ghoulia probably had unrestricted internet access online and saw...

Starting small BUT we'll get there in the future!

[nightmare-dreamt]

I saw your headcanons of the ghouls when the first word I live you was said but can you do headcannons of Jackson, Holt and heath when the first words "I love you" are said?! :O 🫶🤭

Here you go Anon :)

Jackson/Holt: It took him a while at first. He was super nervous and didn't know how to express his feelings, even when the two of you started your relationship together. He always blushed when you open up about your feelings, but he was never able to do the same. That was until his counterpart started developing the same feelings for you.

There was a party being thrown and you were planning to go with Jackson when he wasn't anywhere to be seen. Going to the party alone, you ended up running into an unknown monster who made you laugh and smile, but deep down you missed your normie boyfriend. When the party was over, you said your goodbyes to the monster, upset that Jackson was still nowhere to be found.

"Wait!" Holt shouted, "I love you!"

"Oh I'm flattered, but-" You started, but stopped when the music stopped in the room causing him to change back to his normal form. Widening your eyes, Jackson looked around with widened eyes not sure where he was until his eyes landed on you. Jackson blushed, "Y/n… I am so sorry, I really wanted to come here with you but I couldn't because"

"Because you transform into another monster?" Y/n smiled. Jackson nodded, "Yea… I'm sorry for not telling you. I thought it would be weird and that you wound't like me."

"It's not weird, I mean it was weird when your other half said he loved me, but it's not weird now that I know," Y/n reassured. Jackson widened his eyes, "He did what!?!"

"Confesssed his love for me," Y/n giggled. Jackson frowned, "I wanted to be the one to say it, now my other half!"

"It's alright, I love you too," Y/n leaned in kissing his cheek causing him to blush even more.

Heath:

The two of you weren't dating or at least not anymore. You broke up with the fire monster after he kept flirting with other monsters and not considering your feelings. Even after your guys breakup he still flirts around with monsters as if your relationship meant nothing to him. Upset with him, you did what anyone else would do and began flirting with other monsters with hopes that he would feel how you were feeling.

Unknown to you, Heath missed you so much and he only flirts with girls to get you off his mind, but that never worked and he still only thought of you. It hurt even more when he saw you flirting with other monsters that weren't him and that led to his last resort. Go to cupid.

After a long therapy session with cupid who finally kicked him out to go fix his relationship, Heath listened and grabbed a bunch of things that he knew you liked and hunted you down. Finding you in one of the halls, Heath brought a smirk on his face, strutting over to win you back, but that ended badly when a goblin ran out in front of him.

"Y/n!" He screamed, falling forward right into you. Sending the two of you to the ground, Heath blushed when seeing you underneath him with a shocked expression. He signed, rubbing the back of his head, "I didn't want my confession to be like this."

"What's going on Heath?" You muttered. Heath took a deep breath, "I came to say I'm sorry. I should have listened to your feelings and not have flirted with all of those monsters. I love you so much and I can't stand to be without you any longer."

"You idiot…" You chuckled, rubbing your temples, "I love you too, now get off of my and stop fliritng with other monsters."

"You got it!" Heath cheered, kissing you softly on the ground.

A/n - I know these aren't headcanons, but at least it's something

[s1l]

Jackson and Holt headcanons

- they both use xenogenders. I don't care, it's true.

- Jackson constantly wishes to know what music sounds like and feels like he'll never truly live without such a grand experience. It's something that all normies and monsters alike adore, and he will never even touch.

- Jackson loves scene clothing, but he can't dress the way he wants because of anxiety. He buys a lot of scene accessories and makes kandi bracelets himself, but never uses it. Holt on the other hand will raid their wardrobe and go to concerts absolutely DECKED out in Jackson's stuff. Jackson started wearing his own stuff because Holt kept leaving him messages about how many compliments he would always get for the clothing! ❤

- even though he doesn't need to, Jackson takes way too many precautions to keep himself from transforming. He reads a lot and rarely even scrolls social media in fear because there always seems to be music in every video!

- Jackson has a lot of mental health issues, and the discovery of Holt definitely didn't help. To know that there was a cooler version of him that everyone loved that constantly replaced him? It was horrible. However, Holt isn't the type of guy to leave another man kicked down. He constantly leaves notes on the refrigerator for Jackson to cheer him up with cute doodles, and he always tells his friends about how 'awesome this one Jackson fella is!' And how 'you just gotta meet him!'

- Holt has multiple Pinterest board of tattoos he wants in the future and hair styles he wants to try out. Holt actually really enjoys fashion, almost as much as he enjoys art and rock n' roll!

- You'd think that since Jackson is the 'nerd,' he'd be doing all the work in school to keep their head above water. However, Holt makes sure to pull his weight. He's the top student in art class, music class, and doing very well in gym too!

- Not a headcanon but a question; where are their parents? Why the hell did they never tell them about the transformations??

- Jackson is only able to watch Nature Documentaries because the background music is too peaceful to force Holt out.

- they send each other stupid tweets they find 😭 they actually have a very similar sense of humor, however, Jackson's is a bit more witty and sometimes dryer.

- Jackson used to study astrology when he was younger, but eventually moved onto other things such as science and psychology. He'd love to make a blog like Spectra or even become a journalist, but he doesn't feel like his anxiety could handle it. Nevertheless, he's determined to follow his dreams. He gets a lot of help from Frankie, as well as Clawdia too! Clawdia taught him a lot about writing and even promoted him on her blog! Now, his blog is linked in Spectras bio as a recommendation and they do a lot of collabs. Jackson helps a lot with Spectra because he's good at getting the facts and preventing her from providing senseless rumors. He also writes a lot with Venus about climate change and the environment, and assists to start a lot of movements and fundraisers.

- Everyone has something they're insecure about, even Holt Hyde. You might be wondering however, what could he of all people possibly be embarrassed by? Well, since he goes to a lot of parties away from home, he likes to bring a small plush princess goblin with him to keep him company. He spends a lot of time buying little clothes for it and even makes extra food so it can have a plate at the diner table.

- A lot of things play music, but Holt definitely has a favorite. He owns his own CD player that he's decked out in colorful stickers, ESPECIALLY puffy ones. He loves puffy stickers, fuzzy stickers, glittery stickers, scented stickers, all of them!

Jackson Jekyll Headcanons (Holt will be a separate post)

ftm, but we will discuss more of that in Holt's post

NO energy drinks, it makes Holt jumpy when Jackson has the body

he can play many classic instruments, like the violin and piano and sometimes plays them to de-stress

he gets easily overwhelmed at family events

bi but guy leaning

he's lucky enough to have an extensive collection of noise canceling headphones

ghoulia helped him create a browser extension that prevents music of a certain bpm from playing on his computer (he and Holt have separate computers, long story, mother was not pleased) (it's Jackson's fault, actually) (I'll elaborate if you'd like)

he has different fingerprints than Holt does

he also has sectoral heterochromia and a permanent white streak in his hair

fat crush on Deuce BUT DONT TELL HIM

extensive plushie collection

My HCs for Holt and Jackson pt2

Holt got the tattoo while they were in the worst part of their identity struggle, as a way to take control and express himself. Jackson was really upset at the time, but he took care of it because didn’t want to deal with an infected tattoo on top of everything going on in his life. He doesn’t mind it now, but there’s a firm rule that BOTH sides must agree to any more body modifications. Currently they’ve got ears and eyebrow pierced. The eyebrow was pierced in the summer before highschool (which was also when he bleached his ends), as a way to try and be more confident in highschool. Holt didn’t notice the ears really, but the eyebrow was kinda puzzling. Like did he sleepwalk into a piercing parlor?

Clothing is linked to the current body presentation. When the body transforms, so do the clothes. When they’re cofronting, the body and clothes stay like whoever was last fronting. How does this make any sense? Uhh don’t worry abt it. (It’s just important that they have their own outfits, or they never would’ve been able to coexist)

Jackson spends most of his time in the school lab, library, or in his room. He’s not a very social creature, and dragging him away from his work is often the only way to get his attention. He tends to form deep bonds with a few people, such as Holt, Frankie, and Clair. He felt a deep betrayal when Frankie started dating other people, even though he knew they weren’t involved anymore. Not even sure if he still loved them, or if he just felt illogically slighted.

Holt is much the same way. Despite his love of parties, his interest in other people is mostly surface level excepting those few deep bonds. Like yeah, he loves the screaming crowd, flirting and talking to babes working it out on the dance floor, but he wouldn’t call any of those people his friends. He just likes the buzz of energy. When he’s not partying, most of his free time is in the catacombs or music room working on beats. He also was illogically pissed at Frankie, feeling things fierier than his human part, but both parts kept it polite (though a little avoidant at first).

mh headcanons: couples pt3

pt. 1 /// pt. 2

this is all pda based- no plot headcanons lol

———

• deuce and cleo

- not a lot of physical stuff in public tbh

- they stick to hand holding or cleo is holding on deuce’s arm mostly but they both definitely have those “sleepy eyes” so sometimes when they look at eachother ppl feel some INSANE chemistry when in reality cleo is just tryna figure out if her man is seeing the same tea she is (the answer: yes)

- they DO however like to cuddle and have repeatedly been found snuggling underneath a heated blanket

- cleo plays with deuces snakes sometimes. they adore her

- deuce has done big showy gestures every now and then for cleo and she eats it up everytime

- flowers and chocolates in her locker, instagrim stories dedicated to her, probably a highlight or two, y’all already know

• draculaura and clawd

- always touching. hand holding, linked pinkies, drac is holding clawd’s arm in the halls, or clawd has his arm around drac. any and all physical contact with these two

- in canon drac writes a lot of poetry so sometimes she leaves it in clawd’s locker as a surprise and when he sees drac after reading it he just holds her really tight

- they also snuggle a lot bc draculaura is ALWAYSS cold and clawd is like her personal cuddly radiator so if theyre ever together, 9/10 they’re napping

• spectra and porter

- YES A LOT but not in like a weird way

- porter is always on spectra, flopped over her shoulder or head while she’s sitting, head on her lap or side. if he’s not vandalizing, he’s all up in spectra’s space

- spectra has asked him about it before bc she knows it’s not her body temperature (ghosts don’t get cold/warm) and porter’s just like “babe i just wanna be in ur skin ya know?”

*bewildered spectra* “no i don’t?? the fuck??”

- it’s her perfume. that’s literally it. he’s obsessed w it

- spectra doesn’t mind tho. she’s usually playing with his hair while his head is on her lap

- if they’re in a quiet corner to themselves sometimes spectra will lay her legs in his lap and he’ll draw on her knees while she’s writing

• abbey and heath

- heath has tried big romantic gestures and they always somehow went wrong but abbey appreciated them since she knew he tried hard

- however abbey did ask him to stop since she is a shy ghoul and doesn’t like to be put in the spotlight like that (especially since one of them was heath attempting to sing a love ballad to her)

- based on a fic i read, they’ve both become careful with how much physical contact they have with eachother since heath can’t regulate his body temp as well as abbey can

- kisses. all. the. time

- nothing crazy tho. usually just a quick kiss on the cheek or forehead (lol height difference couple) or sometimes heath kisses abbey’s hand bc he knows abbey is lowkey an old fashioned ghoul and it makes her feel special <3

- they don’t normally cuddle but they both LOVE to dance so whenever they’re fanging out they put on music to jam out

• lagoona and gil

- not a lot in the beginning bc of the risk of gil’s parents finding out

- even now it’s not a ton but it’s usually gil’s hand on lagoona’s back, gently guiding her through whatever crowd they’re going through

- hand holding is kinda uncomfortable for water monsters since their fingers are webbed and even the clasp type hand holding doesn’t bode well

- sometimes they hold each others fingers while they talk. lagoona will just take gil’s hand and examine it while he talks or vice versa

- if they’re sitting next to eachother they’re always leaning on one another

- gil really likes to surprise lagoona with shiny trinkets he finds while swimming. he’ll even put it in a little jewelry box for her to open

- lagoona has made jewelry out of some of the shells gil finds for her

- she wears it a lot

• holt/jackson and frankie

- depends on who’s fronting tbh

- holt is very physically affectionate. arm around frankie, holding her hand, kisses, hugs from behind…you name it he’s probably done it

- he just likes to show off his ghoul

- frankie doesn’t mind until people are staring

- frankie herself likes to hold Holt’s hand or arm (he buff) or cuddle with him since he’s cute when he sleeps

- Holt will take Frankie to his gigs and dedicates a few songs to her

- they both love to dance, especially during Holt’s gigs and he has her with him behind the booth (bc he’s overprotective asf)

- jackson sticks with hand holding in public but has tweaked a few experiments to show off frankie during Mad Science Class

- when they study together frankie will run her fingers through his hair and he gets so relaxed it’s unbelievable

- when they’re chilling by themselves tho jackson will lay on frankie’s lap or legs while he’s reading

- frankie will shower jackson with kisses all over his face and he goes so red she laughs everytime

• invisi billy and scarah

- always holding hands!!

- since billy can control whether he wants to be seen or not, sometimes he’ll (try) sneak up on scarah and plant a few kisses

- billy got hounded on by the mansters when he once pulled up to casketball practice, visible, with messy hair and very specific blue lipstick marks on his cheek and neck

- him and scarah still haven’t lived it down

feel free to add your own or recommend me some couples!

I kinda realised that Mr Komos' song, True Monster Heart follows the same beat as the Monster High Fright song, but the lyrics are like the corrupted version of the original.

Monster High Fright is about accepting

True Monster Heart is about rejecting

Kinda interesting when you think about it

AHHHHHH WHEN I SAW I GOT AN ASK RELATED TO THIS I FREAKED OUT DFGHNBGVFDSF TY FOR GIVING ME SOMETHING TO RAMBLE SOME MORE ABOUT ANON FOR REAL! (Also sorry for the late response, this post has been developing in my drafts for like at least a week now dfgfhng)

I absolutely agree with the conflicting messages between the two songs! I know the song focuses on the story of this universe's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in the main verses, but the main focus of the song is that message of rejection of anything and everything human.

Also, because of the Jekyll/Hyde bits, it could represent the duality of where the story starts and ends in its interpretation of a "true monster heart." Instead of Mr. Hyde's human-ness making his heart "untrue," it was his utter rejection of & research into ridding himself of his Jekyll, as well as his hiding of the truth in the first place that caused him to be found out and exiled.

His heart being "untrue" had nothing to do with the fact he was half-human, because if it were, then Clawdeen and Komos's presence in and of itself within the school would've triggered its self-destruction. That was proven as a false interpretation by the story in the movie, so it's self-explanatory. A true monster heart is one of self-acceptance, despite one's flaws or differences. That's what Mr. Hyde, and Mr. Komos thereafter, had neglected to realize before Clawdeen proved the point.

Though, I've listened to both True Monster Heart and Fright Song a few times back-to-back, to try and get where you're thinking as far as the beat, but I don't hear it unfortunately (unless you meant the tempo of the song, then yes they do follow the same 120 beats per minute!).

The closest thing I can think of as far as melodic parallels between the songs is the chanting sections. The Fright Song chant is much quicker in the way it's sung compared to the chant in True Monster Heart, however. The whole of Fright Song's chant goes in 16 beats/4 measures, whereas True Monster Heart's chant takes twice as long at 32 beats/8 measures (I was a band/choir kid lol). It's mainly due to how the song kinda drags out the point, and it definitely feels like a nod to Fright Song for sure. Fright Song's chant is only there because 4/5 of the main ghouls were fearleaders, so it was sort of characterizing the cast before actually showing their characters in the webisodes.

---

Fun little headcanon/ramble that I forget if I ever mentioned about Fright Song, but with Holt Hyde being released in the 1st Signature wave with the rest of the the main ghouls and all, I think it was because he's intended to be the singer of the rap section before any subsequent content with the character was released (No offense but I don't think Holt DJs because he's a good singer sdfgbfds). This would line up with his current crush in canon with Frankie, as well as his former crush on Draculaura from either the diaries or books, maybe both? I forget. :'D Also I feel like Holt wouldn't hesitate to call Cleo vile immediately after saying she's charming either, he's very direct with his words. (I also interpret Jackson/Holt as bisexual because Deuce is included in the rap I DON'T CARE Y'ALL IT MAKES SENSE!)

Also I always interpreted the howl-like sound at the end of the rap as "Holt ran outta time/battery power for his music and transforms back to Jackson as it transitions to the rest of the song." It kinda works with how the beat kinda drops down with the howl, like a TV being shut off or something idk.

Ghoulia also debuted with Signature Wave 1 but she's only in like a second of the music video in the background, I figure it could've been budgetary reasons for the animation, to save on animating an extra character. Also I imagine flame-y hair wouldn't be very fun to animate in 2D, and Deuce's snakes moving on their own were bad enough I imagine to animate, so it begrudgingly checks out as to why Holt isn't in the animated bits with everyone else.

BUT I JUST WATCHED THE MUSIC VIDEO BECAUSE I WANTED TO FOR THE SAKE OF THIS POST AND THE GUY SINGING THE RAPPING BIT HAS, YOU GUESSED IT, A BRIGHT FRICKIN NEON RED LEATHER JACKET. He doesn't have the dual-toned shirt BUT IT'S WHITE AND THIS IS CLOSE ENOUGH FOR ME Y'ALL! XD

If any straws for these dumbasses can be found I SHALL GRASP THEM fr they're my blorbos :'D
