#otp: electric blue

[jarael]

Out and about.

[jarael]

Oviine and Ysayle first kissed after Sohm Al. They had been talking a lot more in private lately, discussing goals, hopes dreams. Ysayle asked Oviine, "Do you feel the way that I do?"

Oviine replied, "And how is it you feel?"

"That my life would be much better, were you always by my side."

And then they kissed.

Had a really shitty day (and it's not over yet!) Anyone wanna share the story of their WoL/OC's and their partner(s)' first kiss? Could use something fluffy and sweet rn.

I made some fanart of Zoot, enjoy~

Kara knows, and that’s the problem.

She knows.

How does she know?

To put it simply, she’s Kryptonian. More specifically: a Kryptonian under a yellow sun, whose wavelengths of light bring forth her genetic heritage when she basks in its rays. If long lost Rao was once her father, Sol is her mother, raising her up to be all that she can be. A creation of a lost super-science, a power to rival gods, a force that made the Guardians tremble in their emerald tower.

Kara can see everything.

The world is alive with light. It cascades and bounces and caroms off of everything. More than that, Kara’s world is bathed in a thousand thousand hues the human eye will never know. When she looks at a person she can see the electrical conductivity of their skin and the heat bloom of their flesh and a myriad of other details, some of which other humans can pick up on a subconscious level, others that humans haven’t even discovered yet.

Kara can hear everything.

She can hear dog whistles and butterfly wings beating and the secret language of cats. She can hear the crackle of radio waves beating the atmosphere and the music of the spheres. She can memorize human heartbeats and pick out the slightest variation, the tiniest wobble that the owner of the heart never feels.

Kara can smell everything. She can sift between the scents of ingredients in her honey bun, detect poisons in a friend’s wine or flowers in a park half a state away. Sharks would be jealous of her. She can scent people but also their moods; fear smells horrific, sickly sweet and rotten. Joy smells hot and bold. When someone walks in the room, she can tell what they had for breakfast, smell of they’re sick, pick out the fragrances of their emotions.

Kara can feel everything. A touch can betray or affirm. To hear a heartbeat is one thing, to feel it another. Her fingertips can read the surface of another’s skin like braille and she can detect the slightest changes in temperature or perspiration, feel the thrum of contentment or fear in an embrace. Her touch is not dulled by her invulnerability. It as sensitive as her other senses.

Kara can remember everything. The day she stepped from her pod into the brilliant golden sunlight beneath a blue sky was the last time she would every forget; her now empowered brain can recall events in the finest detail, down to the soft timbre of another’s voice or the way her hair fell over her shoulder or the softness in her gaze. And so Kara’s memory is hers to be kept forever, never to lose the sight of her.

That is how Kara knows, and knowing that Lena Luthor loves her is a pain so terrible that she almost wishes she could be spared that pain. When Lena sees Kara, her heart leaps and her breath softens and she comes alive with light, bathed in an auric glow more beautiful than a red sunrise. Kara wishes that Lena could see herself as Kara sees her. Radiant, angelic, a little holy.

Lena loves Kara Danvers, the bumbling awkward nerdy shy girl from Vaguely Canada who brings her burgers and donuts and OTPs.

She doesn’t love Supergirl and Kara doesn’t think she could.

That’s how the torture happens. Kara’s infinite perception becomes a self-imposed exile. She sees and smells the way James lusts after Lena, right in front of her. Baffled, she listens to the calm in her heart when they kiss and once she wakes frantically in the night, reaching about to sift through the city soundscape when she hears Lena’s voice cry out, then the sound of Lena’s heart racing and other sounds, and not for the first time, she pleads with a god she doesn’t know to make her human and free her from this curse.

She seeks feeling of her own. It’s pleasant enough but it lacks something undefinable, like a pleasant chocolate cake that becomes unbearable because she could have had something far sweeter and more filling instead. He tries in a fumbling way but it’s to please his own ego more than sate her desire. Then one day he is gone and in his absence all Kara can feel is a dull numbness, a ragged wound with all the nerves scraped out so that only a dull absence has been left behind, leaving her broken in a way that cannot be defined much less repaired.

Kara cannot help but snap her attention to the sound of Lena growing agitated, no matter how distant or minor. She hears harsh words and the heavy thud of a limo door closing and hears the sharp intake of breath as James realizes the mistake he’s made, and though he is her friend and he matters to him she feels a feral, possessive joy that borders on the cruel. It is a hard feeling, a red feeling, a sharp smelling mean feeling that tastes cold on her tongue, this resentment of the man for having a pale shadow of what she could have but wouldn’t.

Lena loves Kara Danvers and Kara Danvers loves her back, but she can never know because to know she must know all of her. Know the Other, the Super, the Alien.

Kara is two people and one of those people has been, well, a bitch.

Because Kara feels spending else. A green feeling, a sick feeling, the feeling of blades flensing flesh from bone while her veins turn to glass and her body burns to ash, the shocking pain of a little piece of home. A little piece that Lena made and didn’t tell her, and Kara makes the worst mistake.

She stops being Supergirl and is just Kara Danvers in a colorful suit, angrily refusing to ask Lena the question: I love you, how could you do this to me?

She does love her. She loves her laugh and her secret smiles and how soft she looks when she’s deep in thought. She loves the pain in her, the mirror of her own. She cherishes it as she wants hers to be cherished, held close by someone who knows what it’s like to watch your world explode or slip beneath still waters and be gone forever. She knows what it’s like to wonder what could have been and know the price you paid for what you have now.

She wants Lena so terribly that she’d almost choose the pain of Kryptonite instead of an eternity of this longing. She needs her, craves her, thirsts for her.

One night Kara realizes what she’s been doomed to. Another will succeed where James failed, and Kara will be spared none of it, and it will endure forever. She will carry memories of Lena in another’s arms into the sun dies.

No.

“I don’t know why I agreed to this,” Lena says.

Kara -Supergirl- says nothing at first.

“I have to fly you.”

Lena nods. She’s doing this for Kara, because Kara asked. When Supergirl extends a hand, Lena takes it and Kara gently lifts her from the ground into a bridal carry, and they fly.

The trip takes nearly an hour. Kara can’t fly too fast or too high. Lena accepts it without complaint.

They land far north of National City, where the warmer climate yields to deciduous rainforest. Kara brings them down on a bare hilltop, an island in a vast ocean of trees. Nearby on a folding table is a basket. It might be important later or it might not. She might have a life of joy or she might spend the rest of forever in a wasteland, waking each day to grief.

There’s only one way to find out. Part of her, the part that hopes, the part that makes her Supergirl, believes in this, in herself, in this moment. She has to, because the chain of events that led her here, flung across endless space to stand in starlight with the most beautiful woman in this world, it demands that it happen. This is fate. It has to be.

Supergirl stands beside Lena. She raises an arm and points.

“There. Second star on the left, and straight on till morning.”

Lena quirks an eyebrow and looks at her.

“You brought me out here for this?”

“Do you see that red light?” Kara asks. “It’s very faint. I don’t know if a human can see it or not.”

“I just see stars.”

“It’s Rao, my sun. I can see him. If I had a powerful enough telescope, I could see it. Krypton. The explosion won’t be visible to Earth for a thousand years.”

Lena looks up, her features bathed in moonlight- alive with a chaotic explosion of hues she’ll never see. She blazes in the night, her eyes a kaleidoscope from which Kara can never truly look away. She’s a rainbow.

Kara falters. Whatever she does tonight, this is it. This is forever.

“You said Kara would meet me here,” Lena says.

“Wait here, please.”

Kara turns quickly and walks into the dark, cape spreading behind her. Once she’s out of sight, she changes without restraining her speed, and walks back to Lena in a hoodie and leggings, hair in a loose ponytail and the back of her neck and hands in her pockets.

She walks back to Lena and stands beside her.

“Hello, Kara.”

“Hi, Lena.”

There is a tense silence between them. Kara devours the moment, consumes it so it will live forever, just in case this is the last time she sees Lena.

“We’re not far from the reservoir,” says Lena. “Why did you ask Supergirl to bring us here?”

Kara swallows hard. “I realized something really important near here.”

Lena turns to her. “What was that?”

“That there was someone who mattered to me a lot, and that I was willing to risk a lot to protect her. There was a moment where I thought I was going to have time make a choice, you or the chemicals. I didn’t have to but I would have. I would have picked you. I will always pick you. I can’t help it.”

Lena is not stunned. Her heart doesn’t miss a beat, but Kara can sense her apprehension, her fear, and something deeper than that.

“You’re Supergirl.”

Kara lets out a breath she hadn’t realized she’d been holding and her legs wobble. There it is. It’s done. She’s free.

“I should have told you sooner.”

“You should have. You should have told me when we fought about the Kryptonite. I thought you would, hoped you would. I wanted you to so desperately, wanted you to trust me.”

Kara’s heart sinks.

“Wait, you knew? How?”

Lena laughs softly.

“The way you touch me. When you pick me up and carry me somewhere, you have this way about you. When I’m in your arms I feel like I’m the most precious thing in the world.”

“You are,” Kara says.

“That and you told me you flew to my office on a bus.”

Kara makes a small, choked sound.

“Oh.”

Lena scuffs the heel of her boot against the ground.

“Why didn’t you say anything?”

“I was scared. I thought if I did, you’d see it as a confrontation and feel threatened. What about you?”

“I’m Kara. Supergirl is something I do, not what I am. When I’m with you I’m just me. I lose that with everyone when they find out. Kara isn’t my secret identity. Supergirl is. I’m just me. I just want to be me, I need to be me, and when I’m with you I am most myself. It’s like laying down all my burdens.”

“Same,” Lena said, softly. “You’re the only one who doesn’t treat me like an extension of my brother.”

Kara sighed. “Should we talk about the Kryptonite?”

“No,” Lena says. “Fuck the Kryptonite. Why’d you bring me out here?”

“To tell you.”

“Great, you told me. What did you think would happen next?”

“I thought you’d be mad.”

Lena nods and seems to think about that for a moment. Her pulse has quickened and her jaw is tight.

“Let me ask you a different question. What did you want to happen?”

Kara swallowed hard. “What I wanted was… for us to make up. Be friends. Work it out. I don’t want to lose you.”

Lena turns and looks at her.

“Bullshit.”

Kara flinches.

“That’s bullshit, Kara, and we both know it. You’re a terrible liar. I wouldn’t be surprised if half the staff at CatCo know who you are. Don’t lie to me. Please. Give me the truth.”

Kara looks up briefly, past Lena. She sees that faint red glow and her heart swells in her chest.

“I love you. That’s the truth. I’ve been in love with you probably since our first lunch together and I want you so badly that I can’t breathe when I think about it. I know a dozen languages and half of them aren’t from Earth, and there aren’t enough words in all of them to tell you how kind and wonderful and beautiful you are. I love you so much that sometimes I think,” Kara fights the tightening of her throat, “I think I’m almost glad that I’m here and not back up there under that red glow. I don’t think I could choose a life without you.”

Lena lets out a long breath and Kara is bombarded with sensations. Lena’s pulse races and her shoulders relax and her skin blooms with an ethereal luminous riot of color.

“I’ll never lie to you again. I promise.”

Kara can taste everything.

Right now the only thing she can taste is Lena.

Tag 9 people you want to get to know better. (You can also just read my answers.  Or don’t.  Up to you!  Zero pressure).  Thank you @once-in-a-blue-moon-rising for the tag!  I’ll do my best to be at least marginally entertaining, but no promises.

Three ships: Ooh, this is a fun one.  I’ll do my OTP, my favourite ship I don’t actually write for, and one wild card.

OTP: Mystrade, of course!  Mycroft Holmes/Greg Lestrade from BBC Sherlock.  I’ve posted about 250k words of Mystrade fic on AO3 and I’ve got somewhere around 50k more of works in progress sitting in my drive.

Favourite I don’t write for: Thomas Barrow/Guy Dexter from Downton Abbey.  Despite writing 255k for Sherlock and 0k for Downton, DA is my very favourite series in the entire universe.  I didn’t love the second film (Singin’ in the Rain did it better), but I adored Guy and think he and Thomas would be so sweet together. 

Wild Card: Claudine Pascal/Lizzie Wingfield from Hotel Portofino.  No, I have no evidence for this.  No, I will not elaborate.  I just think it would rule.  One of these days, I’ll get around to writing the second fic on AO3 for Portofino (the first one is also me, haha) and it’ll be these two.

First ever ship: I had to dig deep to think of this one.  I think it was Chad Danforth/Ryan Evans from High School Musical, hahaha.

Last song: “Steal Smoked Fish” by the Mountain Goats was the last song I listened to.  A quartet arrangement of “Sentimental Journey,” as made popular by Doris Day and Les Brown, was the last song I sang.

Last movie: I’m on a 1950s kick at the moment.  I just watched Shane for the third or so time and I watched Rebel Without a Cause last week.

Currently reading: I’m actually between books right now, but I just finished Tom Wolfe’s The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, which is a fantastic piece of journalism from the 1960s.

Currently watching: I haven’t technically started it yet, but I’m about to boot up the first episode of The Muppets Mayhem.  Dr Teeth has always been my favorite Muppet (and I love the Muppets), so I’m very excited.

Currently consuming: A piece of gum.

Currently craving: Another half-piece of gum.  But only half a piece.  You know how sometimes one isn’t quite big enough, but two is far too much to chew without hurting your jaw?  Yeah.  That’s what I’m feeling just now.

Tagging (with no pressure at all!): @feralremains, @neverlet, @ivysplivy, @mon221b, @stellacartography, @boldlygowhereitsbiggerinside, @icatee, @bakerstreetbasilisk, @just-a-fixed-point-in-time

FICTIONAL CHARACTER ASK: DR. TEETH

Asked by @fragglesesamemuppetz2

@softlytowardthesun @thealmightyemprex @moonbeamelf @the-blue-fairie @themousefromfantasyland @princesssarisa

Favorite Thing About Them: Its very hard to let this guy down. He is always a fun and jolly optimist, ocasionally making self deprecating jokes that still are energetic and reveal a great deal of confidence rather than grimm cynicism or self hate. Dr. Teeth loves himself, the other people around him, and life, and he is always there to support his friends and remind them of their worth.

Least Favorite Thing About Them: The incosistency of his relationship to Classical Music: sometimes he will be alright with playing it in an electric instrument, other times he will act like its the most boring thing in the world.

Three Things I Have In Common With Them:

*I can sometimes speak long florished phrases;

*I love jazz and rock and roll music;

*I love colorfull clothes;

Three Things I Don't Have In Common With Them:

*I don't play piano or the keyboard;

*I don't have golden teeth;

*I don't drive a bus;

Favorite Line:

When introducing himself to Fozzie Bear and Kermit the Frog in The Muppet Movie:

"Golden teeth and golden tones, welcome to my presence."

On reading The Muppet Movie sceenplay:

"This is a narrative of very heavy-duty proportions."

This dialogue he exchanges with Fozzie Bear after helping painting his car:

"Fozzie Bear: Are you sure you won't come with us to Hollywood?

Dr. Teeth: Can't baby, but when you get rich and famous, maybe we'll show up and exploit your wealth!"

brOTP: Rowlf the Dog, Animal, Floyd Pepper, Janice, Zoot, Clifford, Lips, Fozzie Bear, Kermit the Frog, Scooter.

OTP: Dolores (Trumpet Girl), Rowlf the Dog, Johnny Fiama.

nOTP: Janice, Sam the Eagle.

Random Headcanon: He lost his teeth during his military service at the Corean War: there were rocks in the franks and beans served as chow for the soldiers, and he had the bad luck to bite one. At least, that is what he told the sergeant to be kicked out of the Army.

Unpopular Opinion: Dr. Teeth feels more extablished as a band leader in The Muppet Movie than in The Muppet Show, where he worked more as the lancer for Floyd Pepper, who was the most vocal in making the band's demands be known to Kermit the Frog.

Song I Associate With Them:

Can You Picture That

Mack the Knife

Money

Cheesecake

That Old Black Magic

Minuet in G Major

Chopin's Polonaise in A Flat

Favorite Picture of Them:

His puppet posing solo or with the Electric Mayhem band

Shining Brown Eyes

A High School AU where Cinder takes time off her mechanics job, goes to the bookstore to buy a new sheet of blueprints and some notebooks—and that’s where she meets Kai. Inspired by this post! ☺️ Thanks Anon!

“You need a break, Cinder.”

Cinder looked up to see Iko, her amazing blue-haired friend, with her hands on her hips and frowning at her.

“No, thanks, Iko. I’m fine,” Cinder responded, picking up a wrench on her table and cleaning it with an old rag.

“Seriously, Cinder. You need a break from Adri!” snapped Iko, squatting next to her and brushing off the dust in Cinder’s hair.

Cinder smiled. “Iko. That’s really generous of you, but—”

“Go, go!” Iko snatched both the wrench and rag from the mechanic’s metal grip. “I’ll take care of this. It’s your birthday!”

“Oh.” Cinder checked her internal calendar. December 21st. “I… didn’t notice.”

A snort. “Adri doesn’t let you notice. She’s been distracting you from the purposes in life!” Iko waved her hands.

“I sort of like the work,” said Cinder, grabbing her work gloves off the table and slipping them on.

“Like?!”

Cinder flinched and turned down her audio interface.

All Cinder knew next was being shoved out the door and pushed onto the sidewalk.

“Have fun on your shopping spree!” yelled Iko from the apartment.

Cinder sighed. Then she remembered that she ran out of blueprint template sheets and notebooks to fill in her drafts for her bioengineering course in school.

Might as well go to the bookstore, Cinder thought.

It took only a few minutes to walk to her destination. The little bell gave a small jingle as Cinder pushed open the door with her elbow.

Checking her gloves and boots, she entered.

The shopping spree did not go well.

As she headed to the notebooks section, she bumped into somebody, resulting in her left glove tumbling to the floor.

Cinder cursed.

The “somebody” she ran into cursed as well. “Gah! Sorry, sorry!”

Cinder stood up and picked up the glove from the floor.

She looked up and caught the glint of shining brown eyes and black hair.

Drat!

Cinder pulled on her glove while he wasn’t looking.

“Uhm… sorry I bumped into you,” she said. Then suddenly she remembers this guy. He’s the one Iko had been rambling about all week. Kaito Prince—one of the richest young entrepreneurs ever.

I finally got his number! Iko had said. I ran into him yesterday. Do you wanna meet him?

Cinder had shrugged.

Oh. No. No.

“You must be Cinder?” he asked.

“…yes.”

“Iko’s your sister?”

“…uhm. Yeah. You’re… Kaito Prince, right?”

“Just call me Kai. Kaito is way too fancy for me.”

All Cinder could do was blink and nod.

“Iko told me you wanted to meet me.”

Cinder had been expecting that statement—still, she went into a panic. She stood up from her kneeling position. “Oh! Uh— When Iko asked me I wasn’t really thinking straight and I was really distracted at the time, so—” She cleared her throat.

Was that disappointment in his eyes?

“Uhm… well, do you wanna hang out sometime?” Kai asked.

“Yes. I mean- okay,” Cinder said. She gulped. “I might be a little busy so—”

“That’s fine,” replied Kai almost immediately. “Here’s my number.” He took Cinder’s left hand and slipped a sticky note into it.

An electric pulse ran through her the moment Kai’s hand met hers.

“I guess I’ll call you later, then?” said Kai.

“Maybe,” said Cinder.

“Oh. Okay. Then, uhm… Bye. Happy birthday.”

Cinder waved back without a word.

As she headed back to the apartment, notebooks in hand, she wondered:

Was she in love?

Monster High Electrified Review

originally posted on www.onlyfunthings.org on March 19, 2017

Ciao lovelies! Recently I watched the new Monster High movie, Electrified! I decided to do a review since Monster High is one of my special interests!

 WARNING- Spoilers below! 

This movie is the second movie in the new reboot canon. In the Monster High fandom, there are now 2 canons (or official universes), the old canon (before the “Welcome to Monster High” movie) and the new canon (the reboot, so far its “Welcome to Monster High” and “Electrified”).

This new canon’s backstory is a bit different, and I honestly don’t love the backstory here as much. But I do like certain aspects: mostly how it’s 

1. SO GAY OH MY GOD I’m SO HAPPY MY OTP (one true pairing, my fave couple) HAS A CHANCE TO BE TOGETHER THANK GOD FINALLY I MAY HAVE SOME REPRESENTATION IN MY FAVE FANDOM and

 2. Probably going to usher in the scene revival (along with Suicide Squad, but more on this will be in a different blog post.)

 I want to review the new movie Electrified in depth today! I plan on buying it on DVD when it comes out (but for now, I’ve watched it via streaming because I’m a bad kid and couldn’t wait!).

For this review, I want to review different aspects of the movie in comparison to the other reboot movie, “Welcome to Monster High.” I may occasionally also compare things to the old canon. So let’s go!

OVERALL STORY (HUGE spoilers in this section! Reader beware!)

Electrified was a fun movie because it brings back some elements of the old canon’s movies that I like so much, specifically having subplots going on alongside main plots. In Electrified, Clawdeen is following her dreams of making fashions for both Monsters and Normies (humans). Her squad (the main ghouls- Draculaura, Frankie, Cleo, Lagoona, and surprisingly, Ari) team up to help her, and they begin turning the old power station where Frankie used to live into a salon. 

Meanwhile, Frankie meets a new ghoul named Twyla. (I’m so glad they brought her back!). Frankie notices that Moanica and her Zomboys are acting strange and Twyla offers to spy on them. Frankie agrees to this but expresses concern for Twyla, and later saves Twyla from being struck by lightning, but Frankie gets struck. 

She seems normal at first, but becomes more and more jittery, absorbing power from her surroundings and begins to glow blue.

She ends up adding the extra “spark” to Clawdeen’s designs, also creating a small, not very cute (in my opinion) electricity-creature named Znap:

While the designs are being electrified, Twyla finds out that Moanica is using Frankie’s science experiment from the beginning of the movie to steal power from the normies, all under the power station that the ghouls are turning into the salon. Moanica explains that since the normies are afraid of the dark (as explained by Dracula in one of the human studies classes), she wants to make a blackout and terrorize them.

Moanica’s first attempt to trap the power fails, and when she sees Frankie absorbing electricity, she lets Twyla go. Twyla leads Frankie to Moanica’s power stealing device, and Moanica uses Frankie as the new host for all the normie electricity.

Meanwhile, the salon opening is going well. The normies are loving the new “monster inspired” fashions, and think that all the ghouls are wearing costumes. At the height of their success, Moanica activates her device, now using Frankie as a conduit, and causes a blackout, and then unleashes the Zomboys. They all go and wreak havoc.

The main ghouls go under the power station and find Frankie, full of electricity, in shock. They manage to get her out of it by getting her to create more Znap creatures. They all go to stop Moanica, and a small, rather fun looking battle occurs, resulting in Moanica and the Zomboys being forced to clean up the salon they destroyed as punishment. Clawdeen’s salon has a reopening.

Overall, this storyline is pretty good, and having the multiple dimensions to it keeps viewer interest. I didn’t include all of the subplots in that summary though. 

Here are the subplots that didn’t get mentioned:

-The girls rescue a new ghoul (Silvi Timberwolf).

-Silvi, Venus, Wraith, Deuce, and a few other monsters form a band. They spend the entire movie bickering over the name and music style. Silvi and Venus get new electrified outfits. The band settles on incorporating every members ideas at the same time.

-The Dracula and Clawdeen’s mom romantic subplot is strengthened.

-Clawdeen’s inner struggle with the difficulties of creativity and fear of failure.

My Favorite Little Moments That Made Me Smile

-Moanica admitting that she can’t stay mad at the Zomboys, and that they can all go out for ice cream afterwards.

-The Zomboys flirting with a brain that suspiciously wears glasses that look like Ghoulia’s.

-Dracula screaming and running around, imitating a human afraid of a spider (gif from @monsterhigh-gifs )

-Twlya’s obvious crush on Frankie

Overall this storyline for me gets a 4/5. I found that the band subplot was too distracting and kind of irritating. I liked the overall story though. Especially the extra character development it gave everyone.

So….This one is…iffy. I liked how the electrified outfits looked on some ghouls:

Frankie’s makeup for it made her/them look soo cute!

 I also liked how it looked on Cleo, and Ari.

But it looked awful on like EVERYONE ELSE. I mean seriously, LOOK AT VENUS! My sweet Eco-punk child looks like a hot mess.

I also agree with Raythe in that why didn’t the guys get electric inspired stuff? As bad as it may have looked on most ghouls, I was still curious on what it may have looked like on the mansters.

And why can’t poor Moanica ever get new clothes or hair? Why is it that only the main ghouls got new looks? (and I guess Silvi and Venus, and arguably Dracula).

Also, poor Lagoona, this look does her NO justice..

Overall, the fashion in this movie (and the dolls) was 3/5. While I liked that they introduced different types of makeup, hair, and fabrics, these looks were hot messes!

MUSIC

So, I have a definite fave from this soundtrack, and it’s “Me and My Amigos.” It’s so sassy, catchy, and perfect for Moanica!

However, that was literally like the only song that was notable.

“Electrified” by the band created in the movie was….not exactly..good, in my opinion. 

“Electric Fashion” isn’t really good either. It’s catchy but it’s too simple.

Overall the music was 2/5 compared to the old canon and “Welcome to Monster High.”

DOLLS

The dolls for this movie could also use some help.

For 1, once again I haven’t seen any male dolls released for the reboot. Not even for Electrified.

For 2, the only version of Frankie I can find is the version with Znap, and this sucks, because that version is pretty expensive, and also is less versatile, as you can’t change her/their clothes. (She’s/they're wired.)

For 3, all the dolls have that crimped hair, and it’s not very soft. The Ari that

I got, her hair was very coarse and not fun to handle.

I will say, there’s a lot of detail on the dresses,  including all of the different patterns, colors, and textures you see in the movie. They also come with extra hairclips!

Another thing I like about the reboot dolls in general is that the joints are stronger. And the bodies feel more durable (and heavy.) Not to mention, they fit Ever After High doll clothing more easily (though still not perfectly.)

Overall, the Electrified dolls are 4/5!

OTHER MERCH

I haven’t seen any other merch for this movie other than the dolls, which is incredibly disappointing. Let’s hope that more comes out when the movie comes out on dvd.

1/5 for hope’s sake!

OTHER TIDBITS

-I don’t like Znap, I’m sorry, I don’t think he’s cute. If the reboot is going to do pets, they should at least give Frankie a stitched together pet like the old canon (Sparky the dog and also the stitched teddy bear).

-They’re slowly developing Frankie and Draculaura’s relationship which I like. Once again, they refrained from shoving in any un-needed male love interests for either of them, let’s hope it stays that way!

So that’s my review on Electrified! I can’t wait to get it when it comes out on DVD!

Have you all seen it yet? Do you plan to? Let me know!

I've answered #2 on a previous ask.

9. a ship that isn't your OTP but that you enjoy

To be fair, I am likely to ship anything if I enjoy the execution. I'll go with Nebuloki or Frostshield. Nebula and Loki have so much in common (they're even blue). But their relationship would have baggage due to meeting while they were both at under Thanos's thumb.

Frostshield I like because it's two people used to being perceived as weak and lonely due to their unusual situations, dealing with things very differently, and a villain-hero ship.

11.if you're a writer or artist, what fic or piece of art are you proud of making?

I guess I'm proud of my "Electric Eye" oneshot. It's the only fic that I've technically finished to this day. I have a tendency to come up with too many plot points and push them back or tire as I attempt to write dialogue. https://archiveofourown.org/works/49386850

21.A fandom you're not active in anymore but that you still really like

My most recurring fandom was fucking Invader Zim lol. I have a thing for lonely outcast genocidal aliens in desperate need for approval that leave a trail of destruction behind. I think that fandom came up with interesting worldbuilding for Irken society expanding on what's shown in the cancelled dark comedy cartoon (height privilege, defectives, and such). I love this fic https://archiveofourown.org/works/26795896

GENDERSWAPPED

That morning, the daughter of Poseidon woke up early, disturbed by the faint and cold sunbeams filtering through the window to reach her bed. She lay on the bed for a while, shifting her attention to the slightly open window to let the air circulate. She sighed a couple of times before sitting up, stretching her arms, and yawning, realizing at that moment that there was no one beside her.

She took another five minutes to fully wake up, staring wearily and absentmindedly at the glass window. With a great effort, she got out of bed, placing her bare feet on the cold floor and hopping around to adjust to the temperature. She went to the bathroom, closing the door behind her. In front of the mirror, she ran a hand over her face; she didn't look particularly beautiful that morning. Her hair resembled a squirrel's nest, the mascara had smudged from her eyes because she never learned to remove it before going to sleep, and she even had a pimple on her nose.

She pulled up the sleeve of the oversized sweater borrowed from her boyfriend. She began fixing herself starting from her hair, combing it as best as she could, then focusing on hygiene and finally applying some more black mascara to her lashes. She emerged looking better, or at least better than when she had woken up that morning.

Outside the bathroom, she heard noises coming from the kitchen, as if someone was dropping pots followed by a curse. The girl smiled, returning to bed, waiting for her man to come and greet her. The son of Athena didn't take long to arrive. He pushed the door open with his back, still in pajamas, carrying a tray on which stood a delicate blue rose in an elongated white vase. Upon seeing it, the girl couldn't help but smile, spreading the most beautiful of smiles. "Happy Valentine's Day" Anthony said, giving her a gentle kiss on the lips. "Happy Valentine's Day" Penny replied, looking at the tray which held a stack of heart-shaped blue pancakes and blueberry juice, but there was also a long box wrapped in silver.

"What's this?" the girl asked, taking it in her hands. Anthony smiled, sitting on the bed, inviting her to open it. The girl removed the electric blue ribbon, tearing off the wrapping and revealing a case. "Oh my gods" she exclaimed as soon as she opened it, holding a delicate necklace with a heart-shaped pendant, the blue stone in the center surrounded by small zircons. "Tony, it's beautiful" she said, putting the tray on the bedside table to hug and kiss him. "Glad you like it" he replied, fastening it around her neck. The girl didn't stop staring at it for a moment, she adored that little blue gift.

"Now you have to unwrap yours" Penny said hastily, getting out of bed, opening the dresser from which she took out a book he was familiar with. "Here it is" she muttered, getting up from the bed to meet him. "Open it" Penny said impatiently, with a sly smile on her lips. The son of Athena observed her with his gray and calculating eyes, taking the book from her hands. He sighed, hoping she hadn't destroyed it to make a jewelry box or something similar. When he opened it, he was breathless—on the first page were two tickets to a contemporary art exhibition he had been wanting to attend. "They said the tickets were sold out" he whispered, holding the two tickets as if to verify that they were real. "I've heard you talk about it so much that I got in touch with the museum curator. It took a while, but in the end, I convinced him to give me two extra tickets" she said, brushing his arm. "But that's not all" she exclaimed, unable to contain her smile. "Turn the page" the girl lifted her gaze to his eyes, which had softened. He did as she told him, turned the page, and nearly fainted. "Oh my gods" the son of Athena whispered at the sight of the autograph with a dedication. "Penelope, what have you done?" he laughed, running his fingers over the autograph. "He's your favorite author, right?" she asked, getting an affirmative nod. "He was doing some kind of conference or something. I went home, grabbed the book, and got him to sign it" she explained, although the son of Athena suspected she had kidnapped and forced him to sign the book by force, but at the moment, he didn't care. The son of Athena hugged his girlfriend, giving her a passionate and compelling kiss that led them back to the bed.

FICTIONAL CHARACTER ASK: ZOOT

Asked by @fragglesesamemuppetz2

@princesssarisa @softlytowardthesun @the-blue-fairie @themousefromfantasyland @thealmightyemprex @moonbeamelf

Favorite Thing About Them: He is a Muppet with jewish cultural heritage who can play classical music, jazz and rock and roll, jams with the gang of the Electric Mayhem, Rowlf the Dog and the Muppet Theater Orchestra, is ditzy and constantly falling aesleep while still showing a sensitive and empathetic personality to the other characters and is overall very chill despite all the surrounding chaos when the Muppets have to work and put it on a show.

Least Favorite Thing About Them: The version of his character design that makes him a weird tone of brown rather than blue in some scenes and the ending credits of the original Muppet Show was just ugly to look at, it seemed like it was a puppet whose fabric was getting consumed by mold.

Three Things I Have In Common With Them:

*I enjoy a dirt joke on some ocasions;

*I can be a bit ditzy;

*I have jewish heritage;

Three Things I Don't Have In Common With Them:

*I don't play the saxophone;

*I'm not precociously bald;

*I don't wear sunglasses on my eyes all the time;

Favorite Line:

From the TV special The Muppets at the Walt Disney World:

"It is written: a zebra and a geranium should never use the same toothbrush."

This dialogue he exchanges with Dr. Teeth from the TV special A Muppet Christmas: Letters to Santa:

"Dr. Teeth: Hey Zoot, I had no idea you celebrated Hannukah!

Zoot: Shalom!"

This dialogue he exchanges with Yolanda the Rat when drawing a birthday card for Sweetums, from the 2015 ABC series the muppets. :

"Yolanda: Hey, be nice. No dirty drawings.

Zoot: Oh. I can make it look like a saxophone."

This dialogue he exchanges with Janice from the comic Treasure of Peg Leg Wilson, comenting about Animal acting all quiet and formal:

"Janice: Is it just me, or is Animal, like, looking weeeird?"

Zoot: Weird.

Janice: I mean different-from-normal weird...

Zoot: That too."

From the same comic, while he reacts to is happening to Animal

"'Sup?"

"Later, buddy."

From the comic Muppet Robin Hood, where he is a medieval rocker bard version of himself

"Thank you very much! We love you! Good night!"

"Yeah, man".

From the comic Muppet Peter Pan, where he is a retro hippie, taking the place of the native americans from the original J M Barrie play:

"Drag."

From the comic Muppet Snow White, where he played the dwarf Sleepy:

"A stone floor?! Always tought it was linoleum."

"Hey, our beds were made! Zzzzzzzzzz..."

"Wha-What?! Where are we?"

brOTP: Mahna Mahna, Rowlf the Dog, Nigel the Conductor, Crazy Harry, Dolores (Trumpet Girl), Dr. Teeth, Floyd Pepper, Janice, Lips, Clifford, Scooter, Spamela Hamderson.

OTP: Janice, Floyd Pepper, Mahna Mahna.

nOTP: Dr Teeth.

Random Headcanon: He has narcolepsy, a disorder that makes a person fall aesleep suddenly.

Unpopular Opinion: The weed and alcoholism jokes that some writers and fans make about him can get pretty weak and cheap. Like, it's likely that all the band could use weed, not just Zoot. In the muppets. first episode there is a moment where it seens he comfused a work day reunion with an AA meeting, wich I must repeat: "Alcoholism is a serious discussion, if a writer doesn't intend to develop it, maybe it shouldn’t be mentioned in a quick gag in the first place".

Song I Associate With Them:

Smoke Gets in Your Eyes

Theme from Love Story

Lady be Good

Sax and Violence

Honeysuckle Rose

Favorite Picture of Them:

Chilling out with his sax

With the Electric Mayhem

With his performer Dave Goelz

Playing for the flowers with his head in the clouds

A band of Zoots

As the dwarf Sleepy in poster for the comic Muppet Snow White (alongside Floyd Pepper as Grumpy, Dr. Teeth as Doc, Lips as Bashfull, Janice as Happy, Animal as Sneezy and Spamela Hamderson as Snow White)
