types of people: monsters

skeleton: has anxiety, always asks how your day was, leans against anything when standing, hoodies and ripped jeans, blasts music, goes camping with friends, responds to everything with peace signs, looks mad but isn't, loves candles, dances around the fire.

ghost: lives in sweaters, cold hands, cries when super happy, no one is sure how but they just show up everywhere, shy, takes care of everyone, sweet tooth, has a soft voice, lace, foggy mornings, minamalist, loves dogs and cats equally.

vampire: wears a lot of jewelry, enjoys the finer things, eccentric style, flirty, silk bedsheets, mysterious, handwritten notes, stays up so late it's early, plays quiet music for ambiance, bubble baths, red and black, sharp gauze, philosophical conversations.

werewolf: holding hands, lives in earth tones, gorgeous eyes, calm in the day and restless at night, sunbathing, gazes at the moon, plans adventures with friends, sees past others appearances, gets lost in thought, procrastinates, concerts, has an idea
