C. A. Cupid Headcanons:

Her full name is Chariclo Arganthone Cupid. She doesn’t introduce her first name, since she knows most people won’t be able to pronounce or even remember it.

She is a demigod. This means she is not immortal, but she is extremely long-living and has god-like powers. She is over 1500 years old and has been a teenager for a few centuries now.

She caused the whole fiasco with Romeo and Juliet. She doesn’t like to talk about it.

Cupid has crazy abandonment issues. Having been left on the steps of Eros’s temple as a newborn, she’s always been grateful for her godly parents. That being said, she feels she has to prove to them that she’s worthy of being their daughter.

She’s having a bit of an identity crisis at the moment. At Monster High, she had felt she wasn’t scary enough. At Ever After High, she feels too monstrous. She’s neither a true fairytale nor a true monster. She’s not even a true god. She tries to fill the void will some sort of distraction, whether that be her radio show or her love life.

That said, since coming to Ever After, she’s had to change her entire personality for her own safety. She actually hates being sweet and saccharine, but she knows she has to so she may blend in. She wishes she could be more witty and outspoken like she was at Monster High, and she misses the freedom that came with attending her former school.

She sometimes slips and calls her friends “ghouls” or “beasties”. Reactions range from confused to offended, so Cupid tries to use fairytale slang as much as possible to acclimate to this new society.

She has six older siblings called the Erotes. They are the biological children of Eros, are fully immortal, and focus more on lustful desires than real love. They would often pick on Cupid for being a hopeless, sappy romantic. They own a nightclub called Venus.

Cupid desperately wants to know who her birth parents were. She already feels out of place in Monster High, Ever After High, and the rest of her family, so she figures knowing where she came from will help her understand her true place in the world.

She loves sweets, but she has her limits. She prefers dark chocolate and black licorice over other sugary snacks.

She hates archery. Most think it’s because she’s a terrible shot (which she is), but she doesn’t like the idea of messing with someone’s head. She will only use them if they are an absolute necessity, such as when Draculaura was hypnotized by Kieran Valentine.

She hates love potions. She finds them deceptive and disgusting. She realizes that’s somewhat hypocritical on her end. But, in her defense, she knows the consequences that come with love and magical matchmaking. It’s why she prefers her radio show over her arrows.

Cupid is painfully aware of how fairytale society views beasts and monsters, and it’s precisely the reason she keeps Monster High a secret. She doesn’t want to lose any fairytale friends, but she also doesn’t want any of her monster friends to be disrespected. She reasons that if she doesn’t talk about it and fakes being afraid of certain situations, then nobody gets hurt. It does hurt that she can’t talk about it though.

She can fly, but using her wings for transportation takes a lot of energy. She hadn’t had to use them until recently, since her Monster High wings were made of bone. Needless to say, she’s still getting used to this new power.

She has a close relationship with Hades and his wife Persephone. She visits them during winter break.

Cupid has a thing for the color blue. She doesn’t know why, but everyone she’s been naturally attracted to has worn blue in some form.

She loves horror movies. They remind her of her ghoul-friends, though she has a few words to say about how the fairytale word portrays monster representation.

She’s a talented astrologer. She uses it in her love advice show and for her own life in general, mostly for her own peace of mind.

She prefers 1930s and 40s jazz on vinyl over mainstream pop radio music.

Cupid still remains close friends with Dexter. She did need some time away from him at first (obviously), but they still care about one another. She’s even formed a close bond with Raven after getting to know her more. She reminds Cupid of her friends at Monster High.

Thinking again about the fact that when Eddie and Dustin finally convince Steve to play DnD with the party, all of them, but especially Eddie, quickly become exasperated with Steve who has extremely high charisma, and decides that he can fix almost any situation by flirting with whoever they were in conflict with. Especially the fucking monsters, this man is bound and determined to himself a monster boyfriend and until it happens, he will make every single person they come across fall in love with him. So naturally, this happens a lot:

Steve: I’m going to flirt with them

Eddie, exasperated: Steve, you can’t date this monster, he’s trying to kill you-

Steve: Hot.

Steve: I’ll flirt with them harder then

#ravenpuff rambles #steve harrington #eddie munson #hellfire club #stranger things #steddie #Steve is a monster fucker and this essay I will-#they actually get him interested in playing because they were showing him the different monsters and Steve kept going #‘Hot. Also Hot. Hooot. Can I date this one? Oh HOT.’#the monsters really did it for him. (and like also it made Dustin excited and you know he loves that kid)#Eddie: I should have known inviting you to sessions would go like this but for some reason I had hope you would behave #Steve: I am behaving. I’m using my highest stat determined by Dustin and Will to my advantage.#(Also I think Dustin and Will helped Steve build his character. Eddie wanted to do it but Steve insisted it should be a surprise)#(I don’t know much about dnd so I can’t go any further but I know this bitch would want high charisma (for good reason!))#Robin loves to sit by and watch the sessions play out and she is always encouraging Steve to flirt more #there’s a new You Rule You Suck board #this one has a lot more you rule because it turns out Steve is amazing at getting high rolls

Couldn't resist whipping up a quick Clawdeen to celebrate the season 1 finale of Monster High AND MY DIRECTORIAL DEBUT!!! Huge thank you to Shea Fontana, my supervisors, my board team, the design and animation teams for making The Monster Way so voltageous, we killed it! Joining this episode part way through as a first time director was a uuuuuhhhhhh challenge. to say the least. But I'm incredibly proud of the work I'm doing on this show and I love what we're making. Keep your eyeballs peeled for season 2 👀

#monster high #clawdeen wolf #the monster way #the art times #things I worked on #I LOVE THESE KIDS #my other precious monster teens

big fan of the tumblr sexyman descendants thing but mostly because of spamton jr and the potential dadton

spamton jr design was made by @sporesgalaxy

#sexyman descendants #spamton #spamton g spamton #spamton jr #doodles #putting spamton in a full on domestic enviroment with a bratty teen daughter is the idea ever to me #in general this has always been a huge point of interest for me with these descendant type stories #what ABOUT the parents? whats the home life of these students like?#as far as i know (and ive watched only one episode of ever after high and a few promo clips of monster high) we never find out-#about anyones homelife #and i think thats a tragedy #i think we need more of these kids interacting with their parents #anyways...#dadton #love him always <3

I find it so strange when people say things like

Jackson Jekyll and Holt Hyde aren’t a mixed race narrative! Stop muddling the story!

Because like, did we watch the same monster high…?

Ghouls Rule was deadass about how if you’re mixed you get persecuted by both sides of your ethnicity. Like that was the plot they even had dumbed down police violence. Remember that?

And the target of that? Oh yeah, Jackson/Holt.

I feel like people really forget that at the end of the day gen 1 monster high WAS a narrative about race and acceptance. That extends to Jackson/Holt.

#btw #specifying gen 1 because I never watched gen 2 or 3 #also like #gen 1 #mwah mwah #my beloved #mainly for Jackson/Holt #idk I’m a mixed kid and I love seeing mixed rep #I quite like Jackson/Holt if you couldn’t tell #monster high #monster high gen 1 #monster high generation 1 #mh #mh gen 1 #jackson jekyll #mh jackson #holt hyde #mh holt #jackson and holt

you know Monster High is doing alternative fashion well when you open an Instagram doll leak's comments and they're all "ewwww it's so ugly and clashing" like yeah? and? some of y'all need to go out and witness transgender faggotry because u are tooooo fucking boring

#you would vomit and faint at the sight of a drag king #I'm loving MH's neon nightmare era #i love tacky clothes i love clashing colors i love statement makeup i love uniqueness i love being untrendy i love being a freak #if you don't understand the vision then stop looking. easy peasy baby.#monster high #im sorry i just cannot get behind the way y'all want them all to look like bland 2020 tiktok 'scene' kids

Book Jackson/Holt lore is so interesting cause of the number of details brought up about their appearance and their livelihood as a whole. It feels very rounded in a sense due to how integrated they are into the story. I LOVE DETAILS

Details/Descriptions I think should be discussed more:

Both live with their mother in a cute white cottage, which has yellow roses in the front and generally a cheery exterior. However, the inside of the house is decorated with "dusty velvet couches, dark oriental rugs, and cluttered corners filled with knickknacks that could have arrived via time machine from Old World London" (pg. 181, Book 1). Also, described as "the dark funeral-parlor-style furniture"

Their mom is a science teacher at Merston High, though previously was a genetic research scientist. She wears "Woody Allen glasses, a sharp black bob, red lipstick, and a collection of pencil skirts and blouses in varying shades of black." (pg. 127, Book 1. ) Her personality is somewhat strict, but caring. She found out that overheating causes Jackson to transform, which was why she never let him play sports. She regards them as both of her sons and loves both.

Jackson's love for art is genuinely so cute and it's evident that he's very passionate about it. His fingers are occasionally stained with pastels and he just likes creating things in general, which is neat.

The fact that Jackson made ceramic flowers for a girl he liked is very wholesome, and then smashing it in the school parking lot cause she kissed a guy right in front of him is so real

DJ singing to Ke$ha

DJ knows more about Jekyll and Hyde than Jackson cause he actually looked into his family's history.

DJ calling Frankie "Firecracker" cause she sparks a lot.

In this version, their dad was the one with the Jekyll/Hyde trait instead of their mom.

Jackson wears a vintage Rolex in the fourth book (pg.81) that was his Dad's

For appearances, Jackson has brown hair, thick black glasses, and hazel eyes. Later on in Book 2, DJ gains his own appearance, that being blonde and blue-eyed (I got that from the MH wiki page so I can't really confirm).

Jackson glasses are from LensCrafters

Small details like these are very cool and they make the characters feel more realistic!

#jackson jekyll #holt hyde #monster high #mh #I love Mrs. J she's a real one #Jackie and Holt and their gothic mother #I love the idea that Jackson is just an artsy geeky kid who lives in a cute cottage with his mom who's a science teacher

#i feel like the 'multiple of these' option is too easy but i had to include it #only because you can't make me choose between my scene and bratz those shaped my childhood #dolls #barbie #also as stated i'm sorry if i missed a really popular one i'm kind of old ?? like even monster high got popular after i grew out of dolls #which tbh if they were a thing when i was a kid i would have loved them #liv dolls may seem a little random but my little sister loved them so i put them their in her honor <3
