happy national teachers' day to the only fictional teachers i seem to care about

[luna-tori]

Jekyll's descendants, gather together!

Any mistakes, I apologise.

(I couldn't add any more because these were the only ones I knew.)

[toby-or-not-toby]

... hear me out guys work with me here. Mr Komos in the monster high movie is implied to be the son of The Edward Hyde/Henry Jekyll, right? Great. Thats established. Cool. So.

Holt and Jackson. In g1 he's the great grandson of EH/HJ. We're going to disregard the great part because the point is more that he's descended from, rather than directly their son. Anyways.

I propose to you: Holt/Jackson being related to Mr Komos. There's no precedent for this beyond the shared scaritage, but also: It would allow them to give Jackson and Holt a new conflict since Clawdeen has the human/monster thing now.

(The conflict in question being attending a school his parent/relative tried to like. Murder. As well as the legacy EH/HJ left by being shunned by monsters and humans and then straight up killed. Have Jackson be what Komos wasn't, where instead of straight up revenge he wants just like... idk, change, for the better, yk? Let him and Clawdeen work together or something.)

This is probs incoherent btw its 2am and the thohght came to my brain in about 30 seconds. So my idea? Half baked. Idc I needed to share the thought with The People. Maybe someone will be inspired by it who has a bigger brain than me? Idk. If anyone sees this feel free to steal my ideas tbh. Idk if its a good idea bc im half consciohs but yk.

Monster High Reboot Movie Antagonist Appreciation Post ❤️

I’m not a big fan of either reboot (for different reasons I will not get into) but the movie antagonists always stood out as strong and interesting to me. This is my opinion; feel free to disagree.

Moanica D’Kay🪱 stands out in her movies; her evil intentions and antagonistic demeanor really make her a memorable threat, especially in contrast to the more kiddy world of G2. She commands an army of zombie boys (Zomboys) and is strong leader. Her main goal is to terrorize mankind as vengeance for humans forcing monsters to live in hiding. Moanica has been hurt so much in the past that she wants others to feel the pain she has. She doesn’t want peace; she wants havoc and destruction. Because of this, Moanica doesn’t understand why Draculaura would rather educate and befriend the humans rather than harm them. She is overall pretty f*cked up, even compared to G1 villains, and that’s what makes her so interesting.

Some other interesting facts about Moanica is that her favorite food is vermicelli pasta; she finds it “a scream that the name means “little worms”. She is from South America, more specifically Peru 🇵🇪. Moanica D’Kay is the last doll designed Garrett Sanders, Monster High’s creator.

Mr. Komos 👔 (legal name Eddy Hyde Jr.) is a teacher who serves as the twist antagonist of the first G3 live action movie. He seeks revenge against the monsters of Monster High for exiling, discriminated against, and expelling his father, Eddy Hyde, for being half human. This discrimination by the school led to his father being killed. Eddy teaches anti human sentiment in his class, despite his heritage (True Monster Heart). The movie ends with him being turned to stone by Clawdeen. What interests me about Komos is that the movie tries to sell us on him being a big bad villain. I could never really see his motivations as evil? He is a pretty regular guy. Taking his anger on our main characters was the most cruel thing he did; besides that, he seems more justified than not? If an institution killed my father and spread lies about people like him, I would be pissed too. The fact that Komos wasn't redeemed, even though it would have been so simple as an exchange of apologies, confuses me. He could have been a great resource in making sure half humans feel welcome at Monster High. It would have been such a more satisfying conclusion than literally killing him??

Eddy/Mr. Komos is a intriguing character who could have been so much better if given better writing :(

Toralei Stripe😼 is a foil for Clawdeen and the second G3 movie's secondary antagonist (The main antagonists/villains of the movie, the witches, sucked). She is loyal to monster kind, has a grudge against humans and half humans like Clawdeen, and is Clawdeen's election rival. She is pretty toned down and likable here compared to her (in my opinion more annoying) G3 animated counterpart. Toralei is wrong for her prejudice of Clawdeen yet very sympathetic in her motivations to keep monsters/students safe from human witches. She seems realistic as a character and has a natural charisma to her. A pleasant surprise from a not so good movie.

The writers sometimes miss the mark with her (mischaracterize her very valid concerns about witchcraft as bigoted) but I hope that she continues to be present in the inevitable Monster High movies to come.

7. Hallways And Dorms And A Gorgon, Oh My!

Closing the door softly behind me, I take a deep breath. "I feel weird doing this. I'm literally talking to a wall." I whisper to myself. Rolling my eyes, I look up at the ceiling. "Can you help me find my room?" I ask into the nothingness. The hallway remains silent; no walls move, no magical doors appear. "Um, hello?" I call out. The silence is deafening. Nodding, I shrug a bit. "Cool cool. I'll just find it myself." I sigh, heading down the hallway that splits off in two directions, both halls looking the same. Leaning back, I glance at the room number to my left. "101... I'm 221. Maybe it's on the second floor." I mumble. Shrugging, I turn down the left hallway, glancing at the numbers on the doors. '59? 180? What is this? Bingo?' Continuing to walk down the hall, it splits off again. Sighing, I take the right hallway this time and stop at the closest door. "327?! What the ham and cheese!" I exclaim, throwing my hand up. 

Spinning around to head the other way, I bump into something. "Oof!" Stumbling back, my eyes widen. I tap the wall that appeared in front of me, hoping it's just an illusion and I can go back the way I came. "No, no, no." I say, panic starting to creep in. Whipping around, I quickly walk down the hall, taking a left at the end - the only way to go. "Okay, okay, it's fine. No need to panic." My breathing starts to pick up as every hallway looks the same, and the dorm room numbers continue to bounce around like they're being pulled from a lottery spinner. Feeling my panic shift into anger, I come to a complete stop in the middle of the umpteenth hallway I've turned down. "For flapjacks sake! I just want to find my dorm room!" I yell at the ceiling, more than likely looking like a deranged being. "I asked nicely!" I snap. Letting my trunk thump to the floor, I practically throw myself into a chair in the hallway, crossing my arms. The silence settles as I contemplate my life decisions so far.

"You know what? No." Standing up, I grab my trunk and march towards the end of the hallway. "I'm not giving up!" I exclaim, pointing towards the ceiling. "You will not win! I will find my room!" Swiftly rounding the corner, I crash into another wall and tumble to the floor. My wing knocks down a lamp on an end table and my trunk slams into a chair. A beat of silence passes as I lay on the floor. Tucking my face into my arms, I scream. "For the love of Godric's Hollow!" A chuckle pulls me from my short moment of rage. I go quiet and slowly look up. 'Wait, walls don't wear sneakers...' My eyes continue to travel towards the source of the sound. 'Or a green jacke-no... it can't be... oh sh-' My eyes widen as they meet vibrant green ones, hidden behind tinted glasses. "You again?" I ask out loud before my mind could reason with my mouth. There, in all his green glory, stood Deuce Gorgon. 

"You okay?" Deuce asks with a small laugh as he holds a hand out to me. His sleeve slides up, revealing green scales lightly dusting the inside of his wrist. Sighing, I take his hand, allowing him to help me stand. "If I'm being honest, not really." I brush the imaginary dust off my clothes. "I am completely lost and I think this school has a vendetta against me. I can't even find my dorm room." I explain, looking up into his eyes, my cheeks turning slightly pink. He smiles as a small snake slithers out of his beanie, studying me with a tilt of its head before slithering back in. "Don't worry, we'll find your room." My wings ruffle a bit and he glances at them. "I'm Deuce by the way. Deuce Gorgon." He holds a hand out for me to shake. "So I've heard. Headmistress Bloodgood isn't exactly quiet." I smile and shake his hand, feeling a small spark. "Y/n Forrest. Freshman. Not the best with directions." He laughs, tucking his hands into his pockets and nods his head down the hall. "Common. What's your room number?" I walk over and grab my trunk from the floor, pulling the slightly crumpled paper with my dorm number from my pocket. My breath is caught in my throat as he leans close to look at the paper. Clearing my throat, I glance up at him. "Um, room 221." He nods, his smile on the verge of turning into a smirk.

We walk in peaceful silence, turning down hallways that look the same and room numbers that are never in order. "It's pretty bad when the monster I nearly mowed down... twice... has to help me find my dorm room." I say with a grimace. He chuckles, looking over at me. "Honestly? I don't mind." He shrugs. "Gives me a reason to walk with you." My eyes widen and the heat immediately creeps up on my face. Before I can respond, he stops outside a door. I look up at the faint numbers scrawled above on the metal plate. "Dorm room 221." Deuce says with a small gesture, leaning against the wall next to it. Looking around the hallway, I stare dumbfounded at the dorm room next to mine. "118." He glances behind him at the room before turning back to me. "Uh, yeah. What's wrong?" I point to my door. "This is my room." He nods slowly, looking confused. "That is my little sister's room." I pause, looking back and forth between the rooms like it would suddenly make sense. "I swear this room was not here!" I exclaim. "Maybe that's why the school didn't help me find my room... because it was right here." I say to myself. 

I glance over at Deuce to see him trying to keep a straight face. Bumping him with my wing, he raises his hands in surrender, a smile taking over his features as he lets out a quiet chuckle. A bell rings out from the intercom system and Deuce clicks his tongue. "Curfew bell. Looks like you made it just in time, wings." I raise an eyebrow at the nickname. Smiling, he pushes off the wall and takes a step closer, looking down at me. I feel my cheeks start to heat up yet again and a weird, fluttery feeling in my stomach. "I'll see you tomorrow... y/n." He turns and starts to walk down the hallway. Glancing back over his shoulder at me, his smile widens, small fangs appearing. "Try not to get lost." He playfully winks and continues down the hall, out of sight. I let out a choked breath and turn to the door, twisting the handle. "Oh my Glinda, that was... wow." I whisper to myself, slowly pushing the door open to not disturb the other monsters in the room.

Quietly creeping in, I gently shut the door behind me, turning back to survey the room. My eyes widen, my jaw drops, and my trunk thumps to the floor. I'm completely frozen, in awe of the room before me. My room. Literally. Mine. Taking slow steps into the room, I spin around, trying to take in everything I could. On the left side of the room is a bed with lots of soft, fluffy pillows and blankets, a small dresser, and a bookshelf. On the right side, there's a cozy chair with a small footstool, a large circular mirror hanging on the wall, and a coffee table with lit candles. 'Are those... magic?' I hum in thought. Tucked away in the far right corner is a mini kitchen, equipped with a stove, an oven, shelves lined with ingredients, and drawers filled with cooking and baking necessities. The whole room is tied together with plants of all kinds; some draped across the ceiling, some set on shelves and small stands, and vines growing up the walls. Mixed with the plants are tiny fairy lights, creating a glow off the leaves, reminding me of my magic.

"Holy guacamole... I guess the school does tailor the rooms for us." Picking up my trunk, I set it on the bed and pop the latches, opening the lid. A white snake peers up at me from a glass terrarium with an unimpressed look. "I'm sorry! It's not my fault I got lost!" I explain, gently picking up the enclosure and setting it on my desk. Opening the top, I leave Chloe to explore on her own. "Geez, cut me some slack." Rolling my eyes, I tuck my wings in and slip off my backpack, setting it on the desk next to the terrarium with Chloe still staring me down like I committed the most heinous crime. I let out a sigh and walk back to the trunk, unpacking everything. Reaching into the trunk with both hands, I heave out a stack of my witchcraft books... 13 to be exact. "Hopefully they don't check our rooms." I mumble to myself, adding them to the bookshelf one by one.

Humming softly, I grab my phone and call Dad. The line doesn't even have a chance to ring once before it's picked up, and his face appears on the screen. "Hello?!" Dad calls out excitedly. "Hi Dad." I giggle at his excitement, sitting cross-legged on my bed. "Hey honey! How's it going? How's the school? How are the monsters?" He asks rapid-fire questions, his phone shifting to an awkward angle. "Whoa whoa, calm down, Dad!" I laugh. "Fix the camera! I can't even see your face anymore!" I giggle as the phone is moved around. His face appears on the screen again. "It's going good. The school is good. I had a bit of trouble finding my room but this uh, really sweet monster helped me out." I trail off as my thoughts drift to Deuce. "Mhm... and is this monster cute?" Dad smirks as I pale at his question. "Dad!" He just laughs at my reddening cheeks. "Well it's good to hear from you, honey. I just spoke to Clawdeen, too. Even though she's there, she still says 'Hi'." He smiles as I laugh and nod. "Alright Dad, I gotta go finish unpacking and make some cookies." His smile fades at that. "Are you really doing okay, honey? You love to bake, but you also bake when you're nervous." He asks softly. I smile softly. "I'm good, Dad. Just, new school, new peo- er monsters, it's just a little overwhelming, but I'll be okay. I promise." He gives me a look but sighs, nodding his head. "Okay. I love you, kiddo." He smiles softly. "I love you too, Dad." I smile and the screen goes blank as the call ends.

Sighing, I stand up and head to the dresser, pulling out a pair of gray sweats, a green tanktop, and my bear slippers, courtesy of Clawdeen. Swiftly changing clothes, I head over to the mini kitchen. "Time to bake some cookies." Walking over to the bookshelf, I run my finger over the titles before finding the one I'm looking for. "Necronomnomnom, Recipes and Rites from the Lore of H.P. Lovecraft." I pull bowls, mixers, and ingredients from the cabinets, a certain Gorgon still lingering in the back of my mind. "I wonder if he likes cookies?" I ask myself, slowly getting lost in the sweetness of baking, green eyes still lingering in the back of my mind.

Trying to make sense of the lore of Jackson/Holt's family in the G3 timeline.

So Edward Hyde was ONE guy. And he was just half human? no potion?? So there was no Henry Jekyll. Right? Right?

But no cause then Komos is like "dad didn't pass on the alter ego thing"

Maybe Komos only recognizes Edward as his dad cause he's named after him and he was internalized racism?? Was Henry just a jerk or something?

or is their DNA separate and Komos is literally just Edwards son no relation to Henry.

I don't understand why they only talk about Hyde, I would think the whole two personalities "one" guy would be the most interesting part

Okay so if we add up all the family heritage

JJ and Holt are half Fire Elemental one quarter Jekyll/Hyde monster and one quarter Minotaur!

I want to see their cow grandma<3

Parallels between Wednesday S1 and Monster High: The Movie:

Schools for Monsters

Werewolf Girl, who is labeled as a Lesbian by Fans (However, Clawdeen actually is one)

Werewolf Girl is interested in a Gorgon. (Clawdeen is Comphet)

Gorgon gets turned into Stone.

Cute Teacher remove their Glasses after they are revealed to be the Villain.

Also: The Backstory of the School involves Hydes getting kicked out of the School. (The Monster High banned their Hyde, because he was half-human)

[idleglowingpixels]

I was rewatching Monster High: The Movie (2022) cause the sequel's coming out next week and upon rewatch, the fucking signs that Komos was actually Hyde's son not from the writing but from the COSTUME DESIGN for him was so striking to me that I'm pissed I didn't realize sooner.

Not only does he have the glasses, sideswept bangs and general human appearance of Jackson (minus the horns, I think in this universe Komos's mom was like a centaur or something, would explain why he's still so human-looking besides the horns), but there's nods to Jackson and Holt specifically all throughout his outfits in the movie.

(Also for the sake of ease I'm referring to the teacher as Komos cause typing Hyde Jr. or something constantly is gonna drive me nuts)

First, there's his main outfit which we see across the film as well as in promotional images, and YOU CANNOT FUCKING TELL ME the posing for his promo pic wasn't an intentional nod to Jackson LIKE LOOK AT THIS SHIT!!

The main thing that strikes me is the inversion of the yellow/gold and blue with Komos's tie and shirt, also the fact the colors are significantly desaturated in comparison to Jackson's flashy yellow and blue. My interpretation of this is that it's representative of the bad-guy/villainous interpretation Komos represents, in comparison to Jackson/Holt which seem to be a rare good-guy/positive interpretation of Jekyll and Hyde. It's like, yes this is the Jekyll/Hyde guy of this gen, his outfits are nods to G1 but is otherwise an entirely different character than Jackson/Holt. Which I mean, I do respect the writers for not having Komos be this gen's Holt Hyde and just as "Hyde's son," I feel like separating the two (three??) characters is and was the best decision. Just two different interpretations of the "descendant of Jekyll and Hyde" thing.

Another part of the decision to go with Jackson's more traditionally nerdy or professional type of fashion style is interesting to me. Komos does not want to be perceived as his Jekyll half, he wants to just be Hyde, hence why he refers to himself as Hyde's son not Jekyll and Hyde's son. And yet, it's like he can't deny his human Jekyll side. To be honest Jekyll's only referenced a few times in the movie (which okay, Hyde's the monster half, I get that, but you'd think he'd be a little more important yeah??) so it makes sense they're focusing on Hyde more but I did find it an interesting decision.

Next there's THIS OUTFIT which on rewatch made me audibly point like that soyjak meme like "THAT'S A REFERENCE TO JACKSON AND HOLT CAUSE OF THE YIN YANG DUAL COLOR SHIT"

Red and blue are mainly Holt's colors, but Holt's signature outfit's shirt is also dual-toned, split through the middle.

It's just with Komos, there's less of an emphasis on the yin-yang thing Jackson & Holt had in their interpretation of Jekyll & Hyde -- he's unbalanced in comparison to them -- hence it's not a black and white cardigan. Also, THE BOWTIE! Can't get more obvious with the Jackson nods than that.

There's also this outfit I wanted to mention, the one he wears during the Founders' dinner toward the end of the movie. Notice It's fully red-toned, where his initial outfit was mainly blue-toned, and the cardigan showed the transition between. It's like at first, he's studious and mellow-natured with a bit of flare but nothing too crazy -- Jekyll. Then when he's wearing the cardigan, he asks Clawdeen about her research, almost insisting she provide him the information she's gathered because of his desperation to lose the duality going on with him. And finally, at the end, he takes the potion his father made, fully embracing Hyde and abandoning Jekyll once and for all.

---

That's pretty much all I wanted to mention regarding the outfits, but I remember when I first watched the movie, I was severely disappointed that Jackson/Holt were basically confirmed to not be making a return in this generation (or at least in the live-action films but I imagine it'd be pretty confusing to have two characters represent the same specific monster character in the same gen). They were a really underutilized character concept outside of Ghouls Rule, and I feel like especially with Clawdeen being half human in this version that they could've been friends or something!

Maybe Jackson/Holt could've served as the antagonist of the film in Komos's position, but not out of malice, moreso misguidance. Holt was kinda hinted at in his diaries to have depressive symptoms, it would've been interesting to explore that with how he might have low self-esteem because of his half-human-ness. Also, apparently Deuce in G1/G2 was half human too? Why did they get rid of that this gen??? I don't know why they keep shifting representation around at times.

Questionable decision making aside, I actually did enjoy this movie a lot. From an objective standpoint it's a DCOM-quality movie with average writing (except Frankie bro they were funny as hell in this movie), slightly more fashionable outfits than DCOMs, and a basic self-acceptance plot. There's several movies, including one or two in G1, with similar but better-executed writing and storytelling and similar themes. But DAMMIT I can't get enough of this movie when I see it. It's a comfort movie. :'D

I could go ON about the Jackson/Holt erasure all throughout this movie, especially with the rumors it was based off an abandoned movie concept for the two back in G1, but this post is too long already and I've distracted myself from my work enough. :'D If anyone on this side of Tumblr wants to hear that ramble, I shall ramble about it another day.

Also, HAPPY SPOOKY MONTH!!! My Monster High AU is beginning this month with the main 5 ghouls' designs as well as a one-shot I've written. Maybe stick around for that if you want to idk! :D

komos appreciation post

[the-kinfesssional]

I'm starting to kinsider someone I would rather not. I like Monster High, somewhat, but I haven't watched it in a while. Now, my friend decided to watch Nickelodeon's 'Monster High - The Movie' (You know, the god awful one) ... I am starting to kinsider Mr. Komos of all the people! Yes, that guy. Oh I hate this. I only appear in this movie as far as I'm aware, and I don't fit into the major multiverse canons that well. At least my mems follow a better version. Bloodgood is the only bad one in mine, and my Monster High remains non inclusive of half-monsters and humans for a while. But, I eventually become the headmaster of my version of Monster High, and then the whole witchcraft thing happens lol. -Apparently Mr. Komos?? (Nickelodeon's 'Monster High - The Movie')

Wow. I have never seen that movie but that sounds like shit.

[imjustavenuxwithaboomerang]

monster high (live action) + text posts (pt 3)

(1 2 4 5)

[mh-midnight-wanderer]

So I was thinking about Monster High 2022 cartoon showrunner Shea Fortana responded on Instagram while making the show in which G1 characters will be integrated and there is a handful of characters MH franchise team doesn't want to introduce to a new generation.

So I made a list...

Also, I'd like to point out that I could be 100% wrong. I don't work for Mattel and it's just pure speculation from me.

The first two tiers explain itself: Characters that appear in the show. Main characters that already have dolls and those who don't have dolls yet.

The "Cameo" tier: Probably Operetta will appear next year with Jinafire, Skelita, etc.

The "Unknown status" tier is debatable. In the case of MH live-action movie uses the character Jackson / Holt to make Mr. Komos. Who knows if they are going to use these characters later on.

The "Ties with other franchise" Tier: I don't know if C.A Cupid will never return because Ever After High.

The "Controversial ones" Tier: Isi, Gigi Grant, Whisp, Hoodude, & Jane ties in with sensitivity issues of their own culture.

I didn't know that Kjersti is based on a real person who caused controversy with Mattel because Becky's wheelchair doll couldn't fit in Barbie's Dreamhouse.

And the last tier: Are characters have bland designs that would be difficult to sell. Except for Wydowna but probably won't sell well because cost of molding and designing clothing specific for her. Most likely higher up thinks she's too scary for kids.

I know there more characters that have potential like Johnny Spirit, Seth Ptolemy, Spelldon Cauldronello

Like I said in my previous post. The problem with G1 is that a new MH doll line must include 3 or 4 new characters. And some of them don't even go to Monster High. Chances are getting less screen time or don't get development.

This is understandable for the business side of things that most popular characters will be introduced first and see which ones need redesign like Lagoona, Ghoulia, etc.

At the end of the day. Monster High cartoon is like any other show to promote toys.

If the Monster High 2022 show ended. The MH fanbase will live and stay here: creating fanarts, fanfictions, or even custom dolls of your favorite character.

[finleylaz]

Felt like making a G3 design for Holt Hyde since Komos made that probably impossible. I figured he kinda acts hyperactive, so maybe a theater kid who’s into a ton of different dramatic or loud music would be cool to see (especially since Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde has a musical that SLAPS).

[asteriastarr]

ok here is me making up a request on the spot

uh oh heheheheee

ok, so my vision is...

another deuce x shapeshifter reader (already dating) and its after school in the courtyard place thingey (where abbey and heath played football (kwim?)

and the whole group is just kinda sitting and watching some monsteres play around with heath and abbey while deuce and y/n either just sit and watch or one of them is up playing but getting teased for watching the other (idk if you get that or not but oh well XD)

just another cute funny fluffy thing

A/n: Uh so I dunno shit about sports so I just shoved Y/n as watching while Deuce is playing because I cannot for the life of me write sports of any kind... I kinda made this like a part two to the other one but not really but yk. (Also for the two sitting with Y/n I just picked the two who seemed the least athletic)... for the record, those of you who read my wattpad you may find some small references to the fanfic, anyways enjoy- hope this is what you had in mind and sorry for how long it took :)

POV: Shapshifter!reader and the group watching Deuce play sport.

Y/n, Frankie and Draculaura sat watching their friends play some kind of sports game… or more Frankie and Draculaura were watching their friends, Y/n however- couldn’t seem to tear her eyes off of a certain gorgon.

“Hellooo, earth to Y/n-” Draculaura hummed, waving a pink hand in front of the shapeshifter's face.

When Y/n merely moved her head to the side so she could continue watching, Draculaura snapped her fingers in the girl's ear.

“Huh? What?”  The shapeshifter asked, shooting up, as if she’d been broken out of a trance.

Draculaura released a small laugh.

“You are so smitten Y/n.” Draculaura giggled.

“No, I’m not!” Y/n exclaimed.

“Oh yeah? Then why are you staring at Deuce like that?” Draculaura asked smirking.

“Well, he is my boyfriend, forgive me for paying closer attention to him than say… uh- Frankie.” Y/n defended.

“Uh- Y/n- I’m right next to you… have been the entire time you’ve been here.” Frankie spoke up causing Y/n to blush in embarrassment.

“Well- How did you even know I was staring at Deuce?” Y/n asked.

“Your hands went all scaley… they usually do when you’re staring at Deuce… sometimes your hair goes all snake-like.” Draculaura shrugged.

“Oh.”

“On a separate note… didn’t you have detention today?” Draculaura asked raising a brow.

“Uh- Um- Maybe?” She spluttered causing Draculaura to roll her eyes.

“You mean you did, but snuck out so you could watch your boyfriend.” Draculaura deduced.

“You’re making me out to be boy crazy or something Draculaura, I actually snuck out to hang out with you guys.” Y/n defended.

“And Deuce.”

“Oh, shut up already.” Y/n scoffed, not realising that Deuce was looking in her direction, stopping his running around to watch her talk to Draculaura and subsequently being hit in the head with the foot they had been playing with.

“Aw, Deuce were you staring at your girlfriend?” Heath teased causing Deuce to punch him in the arm.

“Shut up dude.” He scoffed before glancing back at Y/n.

“So how did you even get out of detention?” Draculaura asked.

“Oh uh- You know that uh- Mercy girl? I paid her twenty dollars to put sleeping medication in Mr Komos’s drink.” Y/n shrugged.

“Y/n you’ll be in so much trouble when he wakes up!” Draculaura gasped.

“Oh please, that won’t be for hours.”

As if right on cue, Mr Komos stormed out of the school building.

“Y/n! You are supposed to be in detention.” Mr Komos hissed when he reached the group.

“No, I’m not.”

“Yes you are- I’m the one who gave you the detention!”

“No, you didn’t.”

“Y/n. Go back to detention.” Mr Komos ordered.

“You know, I’m starting to think you’re only giving me detention because I’m a shapeshifter.” Y/n stated.

“I am.”

“That is so offensive.” Y/n deadpanned.

“It’s because you keep imitating teachers.”

“Me? I would never!” Y/n gasped.

“Y/n-”

“You’ll never catch me alive!” Y/n exclaimed, turning into a hermit crab to pinch his legs before returning to her normal form and running into the woods.

“Y/n! Why does this always happen?”

6. Frankie & Draculaura

Twisting and turning to get through the main crowd, I spot Clawdeen not far down the slowly emptying hallway, looking a little lost. I wince as the intercom lets out screeching feedback. "Attention students, class schedules will be delivered to dorm rooms tonight by gargoyle. If you are unhappy with your schedule, do not provoke your gargoyle. They will bite." I laugh at the thought and catch up to Clawdeen. "You look a little lost." She sheepishly smiles and shrugs. "I may have taken a wrong turn at some point. "Are you okay?" She asks as I loop my arm with hers, pulling her along. "Yeah! I'm good, I just had a question for someone." Clawdeen gives me a skeptical look but doesn't press further.

Seeing the same undead girl with pale green skin, blue hair, and pink glasses, I smile at her. "Excuse me, how are we supposed to find our dorm rooms? Did they email us or something-" She cuts me off. "You dont find your room. Your room finds you." She smiles softly. "The school is alive." Suddenly, she lets out a loud cackle. Clawdeen jumps a bit but smiles nonetheless. Once she stops cackling, I raise an eyebrow at her. She pauses before throwing her hands up in defeat. "Okay, that always gets the freshman." Clawdeen cringes and awkwardly laughs. "Sorry, it's just you have some dirt in your teeth." The girl reels back and runs her tongue along her teeth. "I'm Clawdeen, and this is y/n." I smile at the girl. "I'm Ghoulia." She introduces herself as she scrubs her teeth with her finger. "Hi Ghoulia. Can you help us find-" She interrupts Clawdeen. "Okay, school is alive. Ask." She says, brushing by us. 'Are all monsters going to be rude? I swear if they are...' My eye twitches slightly. Smirking, I glance behind us at her fleeting form and snap my fingers. Ghoulia yells out as she trips over nothing and lands on her face. Clearing my throat, I turn back to Clawdeen, who thankfully didn't notice anything.

"Oh. School's alive." Clawdeen whispers and nods, looking up at the ceiling. "Um, can you help us find our-" The wall beside us begins to creek and a door morphs on the wall, sliding open like elevator doors, revealing another hallway. We stand there in complete shock. "Holy sh-" Clawdeen elbows me in the side. "Sorry." I say absentmindedly. Walking down the hall, we find the door to Clawdeen's dorm room. Turning the knob, the door slowly opens, revealing a room with three separate sides. On the table in front of us are three name cards with gifts. "Draculaura? Frankie Stein? Guess you've got two roommates, Clawdeen." Not getting a response, I look over to see her in awe of her side of the room. There was a bed with a small desk, but what stood out the most were the vines and leaves wrapping around everything. "Wow! This is for me?" Clawdeen smiles excitedly and sets her dufflebag on the bed as I set my trunk beside it to give my hand a break.

"I know, right?" A happy voice exclaimes behind us. Nearly jumping a foot in the air, I turn to see the silver-booted monster from earlier, with light blue colored skin and gray and blue hair. "The school totally customizes our rooms for us. It's so cozy." They smile and walk over to us. "I'm Frankie, pronouns they/them. I'm only 16 days old." Clawdeen smiles brightly and nods in greeting. "Hi! Clawdeen, she/her. Nice to meet ya." I smirk, seeing Clawdeen's cheeks turning a light pink. "I'm y/n, she/her. I'm Clawdeen's older sister." I smile as Frankie waves at me. "My full name is Frankie Stein. I was just created by my parents, but not in the way that others are created by their parents like werewolves." Clawdeens eyes widen as she nods. "I was actually made in the lab using some of the world's most impressive historical figures as parts." All I could do was blink in shock. "Holy cannoli."

I watch as a halo of electricity wraps around Frankie's temples and moves up the top of their head before disappearing with a small ding. "Did you know that the word werewolf comes from the old English word "werwulf"," Clawdeen nods along and smiles softly. "although many believe the original origin is the Norse "varúlfur", which is hard to say. It means "one in wolf's skin." Clawdeen's smile widens as she lightly laughs, shaking her head. "I did not know any of that." Frankie looks off to the side, confused. "I didn't know I knew any of that." Looking back at us, they beam. "I've got a bunch of famous brain parts in my head," Frankie explains, Clawdeen's eyes never leaving them. "Like Einstein, Marie Curie, Plato, some lady named Liz who apparently invented the internet but didn't get any credit. I guess I've got all the knowledge too." Frankie taps the side of their head, knocking their finger off. "Oh, sorry, loose joints." They pick up the finger and twist it back on, giving a sheepish smile.

"Uh, so! Is it just us creeps in here?" Clawdeen asks, now looking anywhere but at Frankie. 'Awe, little wolf has a crush!' I smirk at Clawdeen, and she nudges me. "Um, I don't think so cause there's- there's also that." Frankie points to the other corner of the room. Looking over, we see a black and gray coffin with a bat emblem at the top of it. "How can we tell if they're home?" I shrug as Frankie chimes in. "Maybe we knock!" The coffin door swings open. "Never knock on a closed coffin." A girl with pink and black hair says, stepping out. 'Ah, Draculaura. Great.' Clawdeen smiles in greeting. "Hi, I'm Clawdeen, that's y/n, and this is Frankie. Frankie and I are your new-" Draculaura turns to them, cutting Clawdeen off. "Roomates." She smiles, but it's clearly fake. "Welcome, I'm Draculaura. Is this your first time sharing a dorm room?" Clawdeen and Frankie nod, smiling excitedly. "Yeah, it is!" I narrow my eyes at Draculaura, crossing my arms. "Okay, great." Draculaura's smile slips from her face. "Let's talk ground rules. And don't take this the wrong way, I'm just a private person." My wings bristle at her attitude. "Well ya could've gone about it in a nicer way." I mumble, rolling my eyes as she gestures to her coffin. "This side of the room is mine." She points to the other side of the room. "That side is yours. Got it?" Clawdeen smiles awkwardly. "Yeah!"

Seeing Frankie move from the corner of my eye, I smirk, watching as they climb in Draculaura's coffin. "Wow!" The other two look over at the sound. "Do you think of this as like, a house or a bed?" Frankie asks, starting to close the door. I let out a laugh and watch Draculaura rush forward, stopping Frankie from closing the door. "Okay, okay. Out. My side. Remember?" She sighs, turning to address Clawdeen and Frankie. "You know the type of monster who loves to be surrounded with others so they feel a real sense of connection and community?" I growl when she gives another fake smile. 'I swear every monster here is pushing my buttons... wait, did I just growl?' Coughing slightly, I clear my throat as Clawdeen nods, relieved. "Yes. That's why I'm here." Draculaura's fake smile drops completely. "Yeah, I'm not one of those monsters." Clawdeen glances away awkwardly. "So please, keep to your side of the room and I won't have to suck all your blood out." Draculaura climbs into her coffin and slams the door shut.

We all look at each other. "I would love to see her try." I say with a shrug. We snap our heads back to the coffin as the door opens. "And no garlic, even garlic powder, or anchovies because, they're gross." Draculaura demands before closing the door again. "She's fun." Clawdeen rolls her eyes as she turns back to her bed. "I'm not even sure I have blood." Frankie says with a smile. Walking back to their side, Frankie looks over at us. "Well, first day of class tomorrow. I'm all charged up!" They exclaim as they sit in a chair that looks like it's from a hair salon. "Er, I will be." Suddenly, the dome on top of the chair lights up with electricity, "charging" Frankie. Clawdeen smiles, turning back to her bag. She pulls out a photo of us with Dad, and I nudge her gently as Dad's voice calls out from our memory. 'Remember, the school is serious about keeping humans out.'

Clawdeen gazes at the photo, glancing back at Frankie. She tucks the photo back into her bag and takes a deep breath. Opening my arms for her, she steps close and wraps her arms around me. "I've never seen you so happy, Claw. I'm glad you made the choice to come here." I slowly pull away, running my finger along the side of her ear. "Plus, there's a certain monster who seems to have caught your eye." I whisper, wiggling my eyebrows and winking. Clawdeen lets out a soft laugh and pushes me away. Quietly giggling, I grab my trunk and head towards the door. Glancing back over my shoulder, I smile softly at Clawdeen. "Get some sleep. I'll see you in the morning." She nods. "Thank you for being here with me, y/n. It means more than I can put into words." I nod, too scared to speak since I know I'll start crying. "Goodnight little wolf." I open the door, stepping out into the hallway. "Goodnight sparks."
