Lowkey I feel that G3 Catty deserved to be the second G3 attempt at doing a collector doll (after fansea Lagoona), because she's the kind of doll/Character that would benefit from a stand, a more detailed/long dress and a "deluxe" presentation, since she's a popstar.

digging out my eah content part 3: the monster/fairytale culture shock we deserved
ID: a set of sketchy digital comics of c.a. cupid using monster high slang in ever after. set one features cupid popping up behind cerise hood.
cupid: hey, beastie!
cerise: what.
cupid: what?
cupid and cerise hold an awkward silence.
cerise, snapping her fingers: ohhhh, is that slang?
cerise: ahaha okay don’t mind me (louder:) haha cedar wait up
set two features ashlynn ella showing an excited cupid her sketchbook.
ashlynn: what do you think of my new designs?
cupid: oh, total freak chic, ashlynn!
ashlynn:
ashlynn, tearing up: you could have just said you didn’t like them…
the final image is blondie lockes thoughtfully tapping away at her mirrorpad as cupid, off-screen, exclaims “fangtastic!” “clawsome!” “furricious!”

Here’s my SCARLET WITCH #3 cover — featuring my new design for LORE, an evil Wanda variant! 💀🖤
I’ll also be drawing a bit of ✨INTERIORS✨ in this issue!
The bit of the issue I’m drawing is where Lore faces off with our Wanda — I’m thrilled to draw it! 😈 SCARLET WITCH issue 3, out in August — written by Steve Orlando, interior art by me alongside series artist Jacopo Camagni, main cover drawn/colored by me!
Lore is a demonic Wanda variant, so I wanted to contrast my design for our Wanda. I wanted the Scarlet Witch design to be magical, vibrant, and super-heroic. For Lore, I tried to contrast that by going dark and sinister, with a goth, undead vibe.

Hello! I've been boycotting Marvel ever since I saw the BDS notice you reblogged however I'm a bit confused: when the post says it's okay to buy from independent sellers does that mean it would be okay to buy the Scarlet Witch comics from a small comic book store? Or it is just meant to say it's okay to buy comics from other prints and companies if we know they aren't supporting Zi0nists?
This is my personal philosophy, which is A) subject to change; B) not intended to be proscriptive or authoritative; C) not a representation of the BDS movement, its praxis, or its goals. I've made my beliefs very clear about Palestinian liberation. I am 100% pro-boycott, but I would urge you to defer to actual movement organizers and leaders, which I am not.
Boycotting is a goal- and result-oriented action, and organizers name specific targets for a reason. My understanding is that the primary targets of the Marvel boycott are Marvel Studios and the M C U. This is a cultural boycott that was called specifically in response to the upcoming Captain America film. Marvel Studios has also historically had close dealings with the United States military industrial complex.
The comic book industry is an incredibly unbalanced system. Low sales impact independent retailers first, and with much greater severity than the publishers and corporations, and the majority of writers and artists who work for Marvel or DC are in vulnerable positions where project longevity and job security often depend on presale numbers. For these reasons, I have always prioritized buying print, buying from local independently owned comic book shops, and going out of my way to place preorders for titles that I want to support.
Marvel is a large corporation and it's owned by Disney, which is also a target for boycott and divestment, so you would be within reason to boycott all Marvel products, but to the best of my understanding, BDS has not listed comic books as a target-- and I don't see the impact as being optimally productive, due to the economic imbalances I described. I, personally, have continued to purchase print comics from a local store where I am familiar with the staff and owner, and I trust their politics. I do my best to keep track of the public behavior of writers and artists, and only purchase work made by people I feel I can similarly trust.
If you choose to purchase Marvel or DC comics, I would encourage you to perform the same due diligence, and ONLY buy print and ONLY buy local. Don't make digital purchases or buy subscriptions directly from the company, and don't buy merchandise, specifically of the M C U.
I would strongly encourage you to match your purchases with donations. The most effective way you can give money right now is by donating to personal fundraisers. My friend Eeri has organized a spreadsheet tracking GoFundMe drives for dozens of Palestinian families and individuals, all of which have been verified. They've also made individual posts and reels for each fundraiser that you can share on your instagram, if you have one.

Do you have any favorite aus for Wanda (referring to the official canon aus in marvel, I mean). I feel like she often draws the short end of the stick when it comes to them. Which is kind of understandable at times (obviously not every character can feature prominently in every au) but with so many bad/offensive ones, I’m wondering if there are any worthwhile ones
I don't really, and you're right-- Wanda doesn't have very many cool or interesting alternate universe counterparts. She shows up in plenty of alternate worlds and timelines because she's a very prominent character, but she's also primarily an ensemble character, so she usually shows up as part of the Avengers or Brotherhood. Most versions of her are visually very similar to Earth-616, and usually less well-developed.
The ones that are more differentiated and unique unfortunately... kind of suck, like Ultimates, Noir, and, most famously, House of M. Sometimes, the adaptational choices are racist or just make me uncomfortable, like 1602, and weirdly enough, she has a tendency to turn up dead in a lot of alternate universes. Wanda, since at least the late 80s, has been a character who tends to attract tragedy, and there are a lot of writers who approach her with a specific sort of misogyny. I think of her sometimes like the Ophelia of Marvel comics.
I keep going over the list of alternate universe Wandas on the Marvel wiki, trying even one version that I actually like, and has enough page-time to be worth recommending. And I hate to say it, but I keep coming up short. I think my recommendation for now going to be Momiji from Peach Momoko's Demon Wars.

"Now, most of you have children. And you love them for who they are, not for what they can or can't do. There is a chance that one of them will have an advanced X-Gene, and as they grow older, they will be considered mutants. You will love them, anyway. But, people will hate them. And people will want to hurt them. You will hope for the day when your child can live in a safe world. Well that world must begin now, with you. By allowing mutants to attend public school. Thank you."
