not to be a hater but does anyone else kinda not like the monster high skillector dolls where they reimagine characters like elvira, chucky and tiffany, annabelle, etc?
#deity dialogue#like#idk they’re fine#also like#their masquerade skullevtors were also kinda disappointing especially frankie#we went to a big thrift/antique store recently and saw they had her for sale and i pulled my roommates aside so i could lore dump about how#she was still available for preorder for like I feel like at least over a week which is unheard of for skullector dolls#like idk they’re just hit or miss#like the first three haunt couture dolls slayed i love them obvs and like I think I remmeber thinking cleo was okay and not really liking l#lagoonas#and then the masquerade ones are :/#I think the only recent skullector doll I like is the circusy draculaura one#and even then I’m not entirely a fan of her#o think her face is really really cute and I like some aspects but it could’ve been better#and I’m saying this as a draculaura stan but rlly do release too many draculaura dolls#I get why like she’s the fan fave but they’re doing too much you’re oversaturating the draculaura market or whatever#pls give us other ghouls#especially ones outside of the main gang like I’d love for more side character collector dolls!#hi hi I’m sorry for going off about dolls at 4am I can’t sleep and I’m scrolling on YouTube to find something to watch (I’m failing) and#someone posted about the annabelle doll and like#it’s just :/#like this isn’t even from a ‘I don’t vibe with horror’ place because I still appreciate a good horror doll like I’ve seen some gorgeous and#cool ones made by artists I like#I just think mattel sucks at it (who said that)

Monster High Redesigns part two feat. Lagoona, Frankie and Cleo! See the version of Deuce, Clawdeen and Draculaura over here!
design comments and minor rant under the cut!
Okay, so, design notes here because I think the tags have limited word limit for my commentary.
Lagoona is inspired by Health Goth fashion, as well as a bit of 80s aerobatics sort of work out inspired gear, which I think really complimented her color palette in her OG design. I'm really happy with her :]
I'm also really happy with Frankie-- their hairstyle is actually inspired by their hair from the Skull Shores movie, which I think is very adorable on them! I gave them this sort of punk academia look, and did my best to give them prep and edge at the same time. I actually really liked their Live Action design, especially the outfit, but it looked a bit plain so I decided to add more. And I headcanon that most of these are thrifted and or altered :D
Cleo I had the most fun with ; her bandaged top is inspired by one of the collections from Temraza, an egyptian designer brand. I wanted Cleo to look expensive but at the same time glamorous and maybe even a bit alt. Also-- Layers! Get it? bandages and layering? I think she's the queen of layering tbh.
And my rant is that-- I really hate how they dumbed down and "normie-lized" all their designs. I did my best to stick with the pattern crazy maximalist style that the og designs have. I know MH is a fashion doll line but the G3 doesn't treat it like such, failing to successfully copy , and even elevate the trends like Monster High did. I think they're also really afraid to throw edge in there, like look at what they did to Lagoona! Now I'm not picking on the actors, I'm sure they are wonderful people who did the roles that they were assigned to well , and I have no qualms about who played who. Heck, I'm happy that our main protagonists are played by mostly POC! I'm just upset at the costume direction. I wish they took advantage of the ALT fashion and this franchise's influence on it, because it really is still thriving to this day! Anyways, that's all I have to say, whether you agree with my opinion or not is fine, It's just my little rant. Hope you enjoyed these redesigns :D

Remember when I said I was gonna make a post about how shitty SOME of the g1 fans have been? Yeah, this is that post.
For context, I was a Monster High fan since 2010, before the dolls dropped when it was just a website. I used to tune in every other week for a new webisode on my iPod touch, my first doll was Gloom Beach Drac..I've been in the Fandom since it's inception, and I've seen some shit.
That being said, it is utterly appalling how some of yall out here have been with G3, especially in the beginning. I will never forget the amount or people who were blatantly transphobic about g3 Frankie, fatphobic about Draculaura, racist towards Lagoona, and now some of y'all are being blatantly racist and fatphobic about Venus and Catty?? We could not have been out here consuming the same media about being yourself, accepting everyone, and just being a generally decent and kind person, right? The amount of times little 10 year old me saw and commented on how they wish Mattel would have body diversity among the cast, or have more LGBT+ characters, let alone ones in the main cast, was way more than you think, and it's sad to see that some of y'all grew up to become some of the same mean girls who made fun of people like us in middle school for even liking the original g1 to begin with.
You don't have to like g3, however, some of yall need to really think before you post, because for the rest of us, it's really shitty when you're out here calling Drac and Catty obese (some of us are actually built like that!), being transphobic about Frankie, or being straight up racist when it comes to things like Lagoona's ethnicity, or Venus having black facial features. Contrary to popular belief, nobody is saying you're every "-phobic" or "-ism" in the book if you don't like g3, but it's real telling when you comment on how you don't like a doll who's only change is having more black facial features, let alone saying she "looks like a goblin", and are just oh so upset that the new Draculaura has thicker thighs to where you buy a whole other $25 doll, just to put her head on the skinner g1 Drac body.
It's crazy how some of y'all will bitch about "forced diversity", when Mattel is finally implementing the diversity we wanted to see as kids. Do better.

Monster High Scare-adis redesigns!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
LAGOONA: as usual, I made her skintone a cooler shade of pink so that it would blend well with her legs. I tried to go for a more tropical-sunset look, and her streaks are a nod to that. Overall the thing that bothered me in her OG design was her swimsuit, but the rope was cute so I kept it.
A cute doll overall.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
CLAWDEEN: I’ll start by saying that they did my girl so wrong.
There is absolutely no harmony in the colors and the outfit.
I don’t get the vibe they were going for… And I wish they would give our girl braids!!!
There’s so much stuff that overwhelms the eyes.
So, I gave her a swimsuit with the colour palette of the original shirt while also maintaining her sporty look by giving her sneakers and knee-socks.
I kept her tennis hat + the sunglasses combo and gave her braids and a high ponytail!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
FRANKIE: I was inspired by Tyler, The Creator’s outfits.
Adjusted their color palette and made it more balanced.
And gave them big shoes bc I feel like they would like to be comfortable especially if they’re playing beach volley! :^)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
DRACULAURA: I think that her og doll is pretty cute. Her colour palette is pretty balanced.
However I wanted to give my own spin to her design, by adding ruffles and little bats instead of cobwebs ( except for her hat ).

I've been having a TON of fun dressing dolls up in clothes made by @cosmomoore! This isn't even everything I have, and I've already ordered something else whoops.
Tumblr media
Some ghoulfriends! This is Ghoul Spirit Cleo, wearing an outfit Cosmo Moore designed (including the fabric!) with stock accessories (headband is Skulltimate Secrets, shoes are I think core, earrings are Ghoul Spirit and idr where the necklace is from) based off of early g3 concept art and Feardescent Frankie wearing an ooak outfit they designed including accessories! Frankie even has socks that you can't see, which is so fun.
Tumblr media
I have so many Draculaura leggings that it's almost not even funny. Cosmo Moore just had SO MANY prints that look adorable on her! This is Ghoul Spirit Draculaura wearing Bite in the Park stock along with some lovely spooky leggings and a delightful pink jacket. I love how the leggins look with her dress so much!
Tumblr media
Twyla is a bit of a mess right now, but that's okay bc she's comfy! She's wearing her stock shoes, skirt and accessories as well as a Neon Frights top (sans earrings idk where they are) with the leggings I originally got for Lagoona but forgot about her fins along with a trans version of Cosmo Moore's skeleton bomber jacket and a "plush" rabbit purse! I'm very happy to have a pastel version of that jacket, and as SOON as I saw this little rabbit, I knew Twyla needed it.
Tumblr media
The last one for this post is Lagoona sporting one of the ooak outfits Cosmo Moore did for her! I love that each piece of clothing incorporates multiple but not all of her palette, and the button holes to accommodate her fins is a very clever idea! The outer top is reversible, and this is actually the back side - if you look at the pic they originally posted the front is a very nice blue that's subtly different from the blue background of the shirt. It's absolutely lovely, but I'm more of a high contrast monster myself. This Lagoona is Skulltimate Secrets with stock earrings and shoes. I'd put the hat on, but it fell off in a hard to reach spot so hatless she shall be.
I absolutely adore the little winged heart purse, too! I keep imagining her chewing on it to self soothe. And this is an outfit for a ghoul design they didn't like all that much! And it still turned out so good! That's super impressive to me, especially since Lagoona is probably my single favorite character this generation due to how fun she is in the show and how much I like lots of color.

listen if you go into g3 thinking it will be just like more episodes of g1 youre gonna be very disappointed. like yeah if I had to choose between them Id choose g1 as it cant be beat, but g3 has its own unique charm and is really good if you accept that the g3 cast isnt gonna be a carbon copy of the g1 cast. they arent meant to be! theyre new takes on their character, by definition, a new generation. yes I still have criticisms for it but also it did a lot of stuff better!
first off, a trans character IN a queer relationship. Ive always related to frankie but gen 3 especially does them so well and no matter what you say them and cleo's relationship is adorable. also I see a lot of you treat them like just a girl who uses they/them pronouns (or ignore that theyre non-binary at all) just because they dress femininely, and I am judging you. their relationship is trixic, not sapphic, and frankie is unlabeled and cleo is bi so theyre not lesbians either. frankie is not your theythem girl or theyfab or whatever. grow up. deuce is also theorized to be trans or intersex and is also canonically aromantic and I fucking love that as well. "b-but my nostalgia abt cleo and deuce" Im still nostalgic about them too and it was nice seeing the "mean girl" and her boyfriend have a healthy relationship but again this is a different take on their character, and I can happily say I could see their g1 versions identify this way as well if mattel wasnt such a coward back then.
next, lagoona. Ill be honest I was one of the biggest haters of g3 lagoona at first, pink skin, vsco girl ass fashion, "this aint my lagoona, she's way less edgier than the others AND g1" Id say, but she really grew on me, and as someone who frequently rewatches g1 as well, I notice she is a LOT more well developed than her g1 counterpart. g3 is fierce and is afraid of no longer being seen as such due to also having "cutesy" interests, and loves graphic novels and sometimes sees them as more true than real life. she also has anxiety and copes with them in an unappealing fashion (chewing). she makes up for her lack of edgy looks with her edgy personality. meanwhile g1 is just.... aussie and loves her boyfriend. g3 is still very sporty and cares for her friends (and crush) a lot, but now has personality past that, she can even find fault in her crush while still loving him, while g1 lagoona just saw gill as the perfect incarnate. g3 just overall, has more fleshed out monsters than g1.
more about deuce, I see a lot of people headcanon him as trans and I love that, but I personally believe he may be intersex. "but both of his parents and his sisters are female, there is no y chromosome in their heritage so how could he develop a y chromosome or testosterone" you may ask, but worry not for I have a biology special interest and am more than willing to explain! deuce's parents are a harpy (bird monster) and a gorgon(snake monster), and both birds and snakes are known to have NOT X and Y chromosomes to determine sex, but Z and W, and it works the other way around! meaning the offspring with zw chromosomes will be female while the offspring with zz chromosomes will be male! and due to deuce being out of the sex norms of both harpies and gorgons (having no males), he is considered intersex! again, I have nothing about his trans headcanons, but him being intersex makes more sense to me. and I LOVE it if thats the intention.
either way, even if I have my criticisms, I love g3, yes its not comparable to g1 but theyre different series!

Heeey I snatched her for my rewrite/au wuuuu
Her name is Perla Ridicente (the spanish way of saying it btw), a cute and shy telenovela enjoyer that hopes to someday find that especial one for herself. She will chomp your arm off if you make her angry.
Pretty much similar to g3 Lagoona, but if she is not catching up with Lagoona, she spends most of her time with Ghoulia AND Ghoulia only. So even if she wants to have that “happy ever after”, she doesn’t take the time to know other people, so her dates only end with dissapointment. (Am I setting up a Perla x Ghoulia in the future? That I don’t know myself)
The one thing she hates right now is Gill, not because he is a fresh water monster, but because she sees him as a coward, a liar, a good for nothing fool that doesn’t deserve someone like Lagoona (she kinda right tho-... but what is character development if not to make you less of a pathetic fishstick?)
Also yes I forgot to color the pearl-ponytail-cole thingy I just noticed goddamnit-
Consider supporting me on ko fi

[IDs are in alt text]
I finally drew the Toa Nuva as magical girls, as promised! I'm really happy with some of them. Some of them were easy to figure out and others were a struggle (Pohatu I'm looking at you lmao). Like I've said these aren't going to be in the Bionicle Sports Anime proper but I just like drawing cute dresses so here we are lol. Most poses are referenced from @adorkastock except Kopaka's and Onua's.
[Commissions open!]
Design notes under the cut!
I really wanted to commit to everyone having skirts or dresses, but for Lewa I figured maybe it was better to give him shorts so he's not flashing everyone while soaring through the treetops lol. Which is too bad because he would rock a skirt. JUST HIM THOUGH everyone else MUST wear a dress. This is not optional (I also wanted to avoid making anyone look embarrassed or upset to avoid the "haha man in skirt uncomfortable with it" thing because. Yeah)
This is also our first time seeing everyone next to each other with relative heights! Tahu, Kopaka, and Gali are all approximately the same height, Onua is a short king, and Pohatu and Lewa are the tallest. I base human Bionicle heights on vibes almost exclusively.
I didn't set out to give everyone white gloves and shoes, it just sort of happened. Initially no one was going to have white in their outfit except Kopaka, but it's a good neutral colour if used sparingly that helps break up some of the otherwise very monochromatic look I've given them. I also gave Pohatu a couple of orange accents because I felt like it :P
Each of them has their Nuva symbol in a different place on their outfit, like Tahu's boots and Lewa's earrings. I meant to give them each their elemental symbol as well, but the only ones who wound up with it anywhere are Tahu (chest and hair clip) and Onua (gloves and boots).
One of the hardest things for me when designing magical girls is shoes. Shoes are hard in general because I never think about them ever, but especially magical girl shoes. Gali's are based on one of Lagoona's sets from Monster High, and Pohatu's are inspired by the shoes and socks in Idol x Heroine Miracle Tunes. The other thing I have a hard time with is hairstyles and I just kept them the same for this lmao I really didn't want to make magical girl versions of all these hairstyles. In hindsight I do wish I'd put some braids or beads or something into Onua's beard.
I figure they all have their own callout when they transform, like at the end of his sequence Tahu would say something like "the raging flames of the inferno! Toa Tahu!" and Kopaka says like "the silent fury of the blizzard...Toa Kopaka." or some shit lol. And then once they've all transformed and said their piece they pose and go "Unity! Duty! Destiny! We are the Toa Nuva!" idk maybe it's the PreCure talking lol but yeah I do love a team callout

some self-indulgent monster high headcanons
draculaura was clawdeen’s sexual awakening
but since drac and clawd are in a committed relationship, clawdeen never interfered. instead, she made out with toralei at a party once, and the two of them made it official about two months later (let’s go lesbians)
howleen bought twyla noise-canceling headphones and made her fidget bracelets for her birthday
with cleo dating frankie and nefara dating clawdia, they’re both the royal family disappointments, which has strengthened their bond since they each came out (i.e. since cleo came out to nefara, who just brought clawdia home for dinner one night)
literally none of the wolf siblings are straight
draculaura would drink blood to get melanie martinez tickets the second she learns about normie music
no one speaks to gil anymore. especially not lagoona
venus and howleen have both been taken home in a cop car multiple times for public protests
toralei, meowlody, and purrsephone expand their band to include clawdeen and frankie. their music is inspired by a mix of paramore, stela cole, and chappell roan (plz i need to see toralei do a cover of “red wine supernova”)
frankie went to howleen so she could help them figure out their identity. since then, she’s become their go-to source for other important life questions, such as, “is a hot dog really a dog” or, “how do you use a microwave please i can’t burn down cleo’s kitchen”
deuce dresses like he goes to fashion school. i’m talking crop tops and low-waisted skirts or jeans, platform boots, baggy pants, and more accessories than you can count. a bi icon. clawdeen uses him as her model for her masculine-bodied designs
heath has adhd (i would say heath-twyla-neurodivergent solidarity, but she’d actually combust if she had to spend 20 minutes with him the poor girl)

Finally found the new lines!!! They’re all so good!
I was surprised the two lines cost the same but Monster Ball only has one outfit. But holding them in person, it sort of makes sense. The quality of monster ball is a LOT better. The Saran hair is an obvious point of difference (although dracs was FRIED), but the clothes also have more detail, hemmed edges and quality material. MB Lagoona is perfection. No comments. She is my favorite lagoona ever. Drac should have had a pink hair bow and black tights to balance the colors of her outfit.
The poly hair on ss2 is disappointing and doesn’t feel too great, but is decently easy to tame/manage. The shiny fabric that the line is designed around is a cool idea and looks nice. But the material feels AWFUL, and is already creased so I can tell where it will start to peel first. I love the glittery makeup and cohesive-ness of the whole line. Cleo’s sandals are everything and her tassel shirt is soooo cool. Her pieces are the best in the line.
Honestly I love both lines and can understand some of the choices made to keep them in the same price range.
I still want either monster ball or ss2 clawdeen, but I’m still deciding. I like the hair and face on ss2 but not a fan of the outfit pieces (especially the earrings and second skirt), and I like the outfit of MB but dislike the hair and face (it’s very similar to the core doll face from China).

I have a weird/complex feelings about Jinafire as one of the only canonical Asian characters in g1 Monster High as an Asian doll collector and I can't really articulate them, especially when she fused with Lagoona but I did thrift Lagoonafire awhile back and held onto her since I do like the aquatic monsters.
I debated on what to do with her but I figure I'd keep the core elements of her design but filtered it through my taste and lean into her looking more Asian than try making her look aracial. So while I didn't like the shade of green, I did reroot her in a softer green saran, and I kept the corally red elements and gold in her make up as well.
So while she did try to share the core elements of Lagoonafire I did go in a different direction with her and I'm glad I like her a lot more than I did beforehand.
Also I did end up detailing Lagoonafire shoes in both hoping it ties together better with her outfit but also just bringing out the details beforehand.
