Theo Thomas - Das Schlangenhaus des Dr. Medusa (The Snake House of Dr. Medusa)

cover art from Silber Grusel-Krimi #209, September 19, 1978

Im going to ramble, this is just my opinion

I made a post somewhere about why I dislike Seto x Marry and the main reason is because it would imply Marry is a higher priority to Seto than his family because she's his girlfriend and not because she's needs the extra support/Seto is generally emotionally mature.

Someone said they ppl really do prioritize their girlfriends over their siblings and while I don't necessarily disagree, I think in the case of the mekakushi trio, it's an exception because their relationship doesn't seem to be traditional siblings, but closer.

My point is I find it very difficult to believe that if Seto, Kano, and Kido didn't happen to become legal family, they wouldn't be found family anyway. Like theyre interrelated in more ways than one, both fundamentally and personally. Fundamentally in the sense they all have eye abilities, and personally for the following reasons.

Just about everything about their childhood points the three of them as a trio from the start. They're assigned to the same room, they're all outcasted, their room is collectively referred to as "the monster house", specifically the collection of three of them. Their personalities bounce of each other, and they clearly stick together by choice from the start. Like Kido often got annoyed and mean to Seto and Kano, but why didn't she just try to find other friends?

Like, they're a trio. Like, between them and the rest of the gang, they're a subgroup within the group. Now, Marry is very distinctively an outliner. I don't mean this in a mean way per se, but you know. She's different from the rest of the gang, she's a medusa and has the queen snake, and over is 100 years old etc etc. like she inherently cannot connect with the tightknit trio in a fundamental sense the same way Seto, Kano, and Kido automatically connect with each other.

And of course, Seto, Kano, and Kido ARE family. But my point is theyre very distinctively (found) family, regardless whether or not theyre legally family. In other words, their dynamic oozed sibling/close knit vibes from the very beginning.

Regardless, the trio grew up together and share a sister (as in, Ayano) and further trauma of their new mom's death. In certain routes, (the second manga route namely) Marry IS a sister to the trio and Ayano so i do appreciate in certain routes Marry grows up with the trio too. But again, she's fundamentally 'different' and Marry and Seto connect with each other (as shown in Shounen Brave) more than Kido and Kano do with her. So my point is Seto, Kido, and Kano and nonetheless a distinct subgroup that excludes Marry. (Jeez, that sounded mean)

To be clear, yes, the mekakushi dan are very very close (family levels of close) to each other. But it'd be wrong to say some of them aren't as close as others to certain people. It's hardly a drastic difference (or I'd like to think so anyway lol) but I find it hard to believe Seto wouldnt be at least mildly closer to his siblings than Marry.

Anyway I rambled. I'll paste the original post I made I'm referring to

Why I Dislike Seto X Marry

So this isn't meant to be a dogmatic or aggressive post at all! Just a friendly and civil debate at most! This is just my opinion, that's what I'm trying to say :)

So yeah, I dislike Seto x Marry and... TL;DR: it's mainly because it trivializes their friendship. That's probably not clear so I'll explain.

1. Seto is depicted as a very emotionally mature, perceptive, empathetic kind of person. He wasn't like that as a kid so, logically, Seto has put in a lot of effort to better himself and become as emotionally intelligent as he is. And that can be proven by how gentle and caring he is to Marry.

However, if you're under the impression Marry and Seto are together, then it negates Seto's self-betterment because it's implying all of Seto's actions towards Marry that showcase his emotional maturity were influenced by romance and he might've not acted the same way if he didn't happen to have feelings for her.

In other words, Seto has put a lot of effort into bettering himself. To imply that some of his best showcases of it were based on feelings outside of his control contradicts his self-improvement and negates his integrity.

2. Seto is undeniably more active in Marry's life than Kido's or Kano's. To be more specific, we see him interact with Marry more often than Kido or Kano. For example, in the anime when Momo wakes up at the Mekakushi hideout and screams bloody murder, Seto immediately goes to make sure Marry is okay. Of course, you could argue it's because Marry (in this example, Marry literally collapsed but I'm talking generally) is sensitive and needs more support.

That kind of thing happens quite a few times. For another example, when the terrorist attack occurs: Seto gives more attention to Marry than his siblings. And it's true this can all be attributed to Marry needing the extra support and reassurance more than Kido or Kano. I mean, we always see Marry being sensitive and timid so ofc she's gonna need to be comforted more than Kano or Kido who are characteristically tough.

Going back to Seto generally being more active in Marry's life than Kido's and Kano's, Seto has always been depicted as a caring person. Seto has always been keyed up to have been a lot like Marry, especially in Shounen Brave and even Imagination Forest. So it's totally understandable for Seto to genuinely care about Marry's well-being and the well-being of anyone who isn't okay, such as Kano.

But, if Seto and Marry are together, then the vibe goes from "Seto wants to help out someone in need of help" to "Seto prioritizes his girlfriend over his family."

And, you know... given the family drama in the trio, it's pretty gross if Seto prioritizes A GIRLFRIEND over his remaining siblings. Marry being a higher priority because she's sensitive VS Marry being a higher priority because she's his girlfriend is... you know, a big difference. I know Seto x Marry doesn't automatically mean Seto gains that kind of thought process, but I prefer to disregard that possibility entirely. I like to think Seto helps out Marry because he's a nice person, not because he has an ulterior motive.

In other words, Seto x Marry implies Seto is more active in Marry's life than his remaining family's lives because of romance, and not because Seto is a genuinely nice person.

3. Also, technically Marry is like 140 while Seto is like 16. Not the most creative factor I guess but I figured I should mention it lol. Also, when Seto dies, won't Marry keep living and that'd be kinda sad for her… isn't that what created the daze lol. A human dating a medusa…

Would you rather Disney edition

1.Imagine that you're lost in the jungle and you're up against a tree. There's only two directions you could go in. Would you rather try to sneak past a dozing Shere Khan or maneuver through Kaa's coils ?

Answer Kaa's coils live in Florida I'm used to snakes having to make my way around snakes.

2.Imagine that there are two very eligible French men after your heart and they've both asked to marry you! Would you rather marry Judge Frollo or Sir Gaston ?

2. Answer probably judge frollo as he's a older and has a higher position and power with the added bonus wealth so I live a comfortable life. And when it comes to children frollo would probably want one or two if any which is reasonable

3.Imagine that you're out looking for a job and find two offers that you're perfect for. Both would have you working your ass off, but one pays really well but is... suspicious at best. And the other is really low paying... but offers great prospects later on. Would you rather take the sus job with Madame Medusa or the low paying job with Cruella De Vil ?

Answer most likely Medusa as I generally love animals and find cruella's practices sickening especially with puppies I also have four dogs so yeah Medusa

4.Imagine that you're a great space explorer and your ship has broken down- but luckily, or unluckily, another ship passes by and offers to help! Would you rather Mr Scroop and Long John Silver's help or Dr Hämsterviel's and Captain Gantu's help ?

4 answer probably captain gantu only because he's no nonsense and would get your ship working in no time most likely with no strings attached.

5 Imagine that you're kidnapped by ruffians!! Would you rather these ruffians be Captain Hook's Pirate crew, Shan Yu's Hun Army, or Judge Doom's Toon Patrol ?

5 answer probably judge Doom's toon patrol cuz they're kind of stupid easily distracted so they'd be easy to escape

5. Imagine that you have a stalker secret admirer. They sneak into your house in the dead of night and leave you notes and little gifts! One day you wake early to see them slipping back out your window in the morning and you're horrified at who it is. Would you rather your secret admirer be Mother Gothel or Dr Facilier ?

6. Answer I think I'd prefer mother gothel simply because she's still human doesn't have friends on the other side I'm not dumb enough to mess with the voodoo man.

7.And, finally, Imagine that you're an amazing hunter and explorer, and you're very much in demand by exploration crew's. At the moment you're being 'woo-ed' by two men who want you on their team. Would you rather join Rourke or Clayton ?

7 answer I suppose if I have no choice to pick one I suppose a would be with Rourke as I don't approve of poaching

Ahhhh, you responded so quickly!! Also- I'm loving your answers, they're great! Thank you so much for participating!

2. I see how you're thinking XDD I like it, very good.

3. Ooooh, you get to meet Brutus and Nero!! I love them so much, tell them hey and give them a nice big cow carcass for me.

5. 😅😅 You have a point there with the weasels 😅

6. Sound reasoning!

Again thank you for sending in your brilliant answers!

Reactions on Jungles Cruise the Movie!!!

Spoilers!!!!!

Spoilers!!!!!

Tears of healing???? Rapunzel is that you?

Wait is Disney mixing up their movies again? Or did they see the Healing Flower of the Sun and go sure people loved that let’s use that again!

So basically the Fountain of Youth?

So Conquistadors being Conquistadors?

I’m guessing guy in purple is the bad guy?

Yep definitely the villain.

😂 fare please 😂

Prince? Prince of what?

Whoa this guy just got homicidal over his name.

Ahhh the mighty jungle!

Ahh yes let’s bring our kids on the cheapest jungle cruise money can buy! I’m sure it’s safe!

Dude Move! If your that worried about being impaled then move!!!

The Dad Jokes! They brought the Jungle Cruise dad jokes to the film! And the jungle Cruise props animals!

Not only the cheapest but the most traumatizing!

The also brought over the back side of water jokes!!!

Cue Title Card!

Time for the Mistaken Identity dance!

CGI Jaguar ignoring at the easy fresh targets for the main characters trope.

I’m gonna bet that Prince in a purple suit that speaks German is behind the CGI Jaguar?

Ahhh it’s Frank’s CGI Jaguar reeling in new customers for Frank!

😂😂😂😂 Man has more luggage then his sister.

Brother also dropping the ball on keeping his sister safe.

The local salvaging brother dearest luggage - probably to sell.

Ok so we have Frank, Lilly, Lilly’s Brother, and Possibly German Prince yeah?

Leave the monkeys the monkeys are fine - Frank

She was on a roll Frank - she was on a roll.

I’m putting my money down on the fact Lilly can’t swim.

Poor Lilly can’t catch a break.

Called It!

Also check your person, make sure you still have the token necklace.

Wait is German dude a Nazi? What year is the movie set in again?

Is a submarine in the Amazon River possible?

So does Franks Jaguar live in the boats engine house? If so is he ok?

Technically Mr. Nino this isn’t Frank’s fault more like Lilly’s fault and that German dude?

Exactly!

Also it was sweet of Frank to include the brother in the hug.

Frank Finally found someone who found his jokes funny.

Maybe don’t put your fancy camera right there - it’s just asking to accidentally lose it in the Amazon river.

Skippy!

Piranha Dinner!

I feel like Franks gonna try to steal the arrowhead!

They were having a moment until it was broken by Frank’s Jaguar.

So would Lilly be the Rapunzle of this movie (both blonde, both be named after flowers/plants, both are linked to a magical flower?) if yes does that mean she becomes the flower?

So if Lilly is Rapunzel does that make Frank Flynn Ryder? And German Dude Mother Gothel?

Some one is cranky after their nap/death.

I feel like the Medusa Conquistador hybrid is gonna betray Nazi Dude.

So did Lilly have a prophetic dream/nightmare or did her nightmare just lined up perfectly with that jump scare?

Yep called it Frank wants the Arrow Head.

Poor Lily

Poor Jaguar got a hangover

Now everyone is sick except Frank

😂😂😂 the Log scene

Spy Snake! The best spy to use in the Amazon

Awww did Frank install kitty doors for his Jaguar?

Frank likes Motocars?

Is that Disney’s way of saying Brother is gay? Without saying gay and alienating certain audience?

Poor Lilly realizes Frank is shady?

Onion of Deceit

Uh oh tribal people - just when Frank and Lilly were making headway into their relationship

Ooh Fancy! Now I want a cool moving throne!

Brother may be a dandy but he’s got a punch to him!

Trader Sam is Back!

Brother Dearest knows his baby sister (is she baby sister?)

Well that’s convenient.

Why do I think Lilly needs to do a ultimate sacrifice?

Poor Trader Sam is stuck in between a lovers quarrel and she looks like she rather be anywhere but there.

Ahhh the snakes are back!

The heck? The heck!

Not just the snakes! But the Medusa Conquistador is also back!!!!

Wait? Was there a conquistador buried in the back of that throne?

So we have Medusa Conquistador? Throne/tree Conquistador? Honey Bee Conquistador? Mud (???) Conquistador?

Now they gotta find the Moon Tears so Lilly can pull a Rapunzel and save Frank

Ahhh the good ol River ex macia

Sooo…kind of like the curse in the first Pirates of the Caribbean Movie?

So wait? Is Frank Also immortal? Is that why he never returned home?

He Is!

Even the kids come to watch! 😂😂😂

This must be a normal occurrence for Frank!

Didn’t Trader Sam tell Lilly to stay away from the river??? Why did she go back to the river?

Poor Big Brother trying to shield young eyes only to faint himself.

Again isn’t this the plot of Rapunzel except instead of a sick wife it’s a sick daughter?

A chant! Just like Rapunzel hair!

Rock music appropriate.

And no one noticed Frank was never aging?

Poor Trader Sam stuck with Big Brother!

😂😂😂 Trader Sam just bailed! Can’t say I blame her!

They really should have brought brother with them!

Ahhh romance! Only took removing a blade from his heart to jump start it!

But not moving picture! Or automobiles!

And you don’t think Honey Bee Conquistador won’t end up noticing he’s a few bees short?

Wearing White Underclothes to go swimming in! I hope you don’t mind the male gaze

Well that was a quick swim lesson - so much for being afraid.

They kiss? Odd time to be doing that? Or is that a way to give her oxygen?

Technically “We” Frank.

Just accept her proposal Frank.

Ok Ok fine I get his reasoning.

Uh Oh

Welp the rest of Conquistadors are a coming!

And they will (hopefully) kill this German prince.

Ok so the brother is the baby brother?

So what’s with the singing? To freak them out? Cause I’ll admit it making me nervous.

Pretty.

But only Frank knows the chant. The chant is still important right? To make the petal work?

German Prince is impressed by Lilly

Where your Jaguar Frank. I feel like she would be really useful about now.

There she is!

Murder Cat!

She Got petal!

Here Comes The Conquistadors!

Go Frank Go!

How is that Dude still Alive?

Oops.

Oh hey now we got Wizard of Oz!

Frank we barely knew you

Ok Lilly go pull a Rapunzel and save Frank now.

What No Chant?

Lilly? How about True Love Kiss? You didn’t try that yet?

Oh! Petal worked without the chant!

Baby Brother approves of this union!

Frank should definitely bring back his Jaguar with him to London!

Magic? Sure these old men can accept that. Lady Chief? Gasp!

Women in the gallery! Heck Yes! Go Dr. Lilly!

So no more illness? They have cured every disease known to man with one petal?

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - Which fighters are more anime?

You know, people often accuse certain fighters of being “too anime“. But does being Japanese-styled simply make a character “anime“, even if they’re not in any anime material? “Anime“ itself refers to the grand majority of Japanese cartoons, after all - it’s primarily in the animation. You wouldn’t call manga alone “anime“ because it’s not animated - it’s printed stills. In fact, why the H don’t people use the term “manga“ for these Japanese-styles?

Well, I say that’s not good enough. Plenty of “anime“-looking characters don’t even get their own anime stuff. So here’s what I’m gonna do. I’ll sort the fighters based on what anime material they’ve appeared in.

Higher-up tiers will take priority over lower tiers, so some fighters in the Anime (Series) tier may also be in anime movies, or anime-style commercials. I’ll give some mention to those if I can.

-= ANIME (SERIES) =- - This tier is for series of anime episodes (at least 3) - each episode would of course need to be fairly long, like 15+ minutes. - Amada Anime Series: Super Mario Bros.: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Koopalings - Kirby: Right Back At Ya!: Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede - Pokémon (anime): Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Pichu, Mewtwo, Squirtle, Ivysaur, Charizard, Lucario, Greninja, Incineroar - Pokémon Origins: Pokémon Trainer (plus Charizard, Mewtwo, and others) - F-Zero: GP Legend: Captain Falcon - Sonic X: Sonic

-= ANIME (MOVIES) =- - Next tier down is for fighters that appeared in anime-style movies or OVAs. I’ll mention some movies that above characters appeared in, of course. - Super Mario Bros. The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach: Piranha Plant (also Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Bowser) - Fire Emblem (OVA): Marth - Animal Crossing: The Movie: Villager (Girl) - Mega Man: Upon A Star: Mega Man - Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie: Ryu, Ken - Last Order: Final Fantasy VII: Cloud - Bayonetta: Bloody Fate: Bayonetta - Dragon Quest Biography: Emblem of Roto: Hero (Arusu) - Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture: Terry - (also) many Pokémon movies: Pikachu, Pichu, Mewtwo, Squirtle, Charizard, Lucario, Greninja, Incineroar - (also) Sonic The Hedgehog (OVA): Sonic

-= ANIME (PROMOTIONAL) =- - This is for fighters in promotional material that was too short to fit the requirements for Series and Movie. Some series mentioned didn’t have long enough episodes, for example. - Super Smash Bros. For: Goddess of Light: Link, Pit, Dark Pit, Palutena - Star Fox Zero: The Battle Begins: Fox, Falco - Palutena’s Revolting Dinner: Pit, Palutena - Medusa’s Revenge: Pit, Palutena - (also) Super Mario Traffic Safety: Mario, Luigi - (also) Super Mario’s Fire Brigade: Mario, Luigi - ...There’s also a LOT of Japanese commercials for Mario games - and other Mario products - but I’m not sure I have the fortitude to hunt them all down...Still, I think in light of those, I should’ve moved Donkey Kong and Yoshi (who were in the Mario Kart 64 commercial), as well as Wario and Zelda (Famicom commercial feat. Wario’s Woods and Legend of Zelda) up to this tier. - I was REALLY hesitant in putting Link here, since the justification I had at the time was for a Smash Bros. newcomer trailer. However, since he appeared in the aforementioned Famicom commercial, he’s probably safe. But then Dark Pit wouldn’t have any anime appearances if I went by that technicality...Though since I used it, maybe Byleth should be here, too?

-= ANIME (GAME CUTSCENES) =- - This is for fighters who were in games with anime-style cutscenes and whatnot. - Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi’s Adventure Land: Yoshi - Fire Emblem: Three Houses: Byleth - Wario Land: Shake It: Wario - (also) Pokémon Channel: Pichu, Squirtle (in Pichu Brothers) - (also) Sonic Riders: Sonic - (also) Street Fighter 4 (all versions): Ryu, Ken - (also) Tatsunoko vs Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes: Ryu - (also) Persona 5: Joker - ...Actually, Chrom was technically in anime-style game cutscenes in Tokyo Mirage Sessions # FE. Not the same as the general Chrom, but...

-= NOT ANIME =- - ...And now all the fighters that WEREN’T in any kind of anime. If I counted manga, then this would be pretty empty, but we’re focusing on anime here. So! Let’s see which fighters are NOT anime! - Daisy, Dr. Mario, Rosalina & Luma (forgot their avatar), Bowser Jr., Diddy Kong, King K. Rool, Sheik, Ganondorf, Young Link, Toon Link, Samus, Dark Samus, Zero Suit Samus, Ridley, Wolf, Ness, Lucas, Ice Climbers, Lucina, Roy, Robin, Corrin, Mr. Game & Watch, Snake, Olimar, Alph, R.O.B., Isabelle, Wii Fit Trainer, Little Mac, Mii Fighters, PAC-MAN, Shulk, Duck Hunt, Inkling, Simon, Richter, Hero (Eleven, Solo, Eight), Banjo & Kazooie - Ones that really are anime in hindsight: Donkey Kong, Zelda, Chrom - Castlevania does have an animated series, but it’s being done by Americans. While the style is anime-inspired, it’s not officially Japanese-drawn or -animated (much like Avatar: The Last Airbender) ...so it’s not anime. Besides, I don’t think Simon or Richter have appeared in it. It’s mainly focused on Trevor’s time. - The pseudo-3D anime style didn’t appear in Fire Emblem cutscenes until Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, which was after the release of Fates. This trend would, however, continue in Fire Emblem: Three Houses.

Ahem...so there you have it! Iggy is more anime than Shulk. Wario is more anime than Lucina. And Piranha Plant is more anime than three of the playable Heroes!

...But if you REALLY don’t want any more “anime” in Smash, then you better kiss Dante, Viewtiful Joe, KOS-MOS, Lloyd Irving, and Heihachi (and probably others) goodbye.

Chapter Twenty-Four: The Hare Moon

Finally made it through Hare Moon...only took me four days

Shirtless Harvey with Roz

Sometimes I forget Roz is the daughter of a priest

Roz’s dad is gonna be gone for a whole week

Yes, lets totally sin in a priest’s house

Nice room, Nicky

What is that?

Sabrina interrupting suicide?

Do cheerleaders do flash mobs?

Of course, Sabrina bragged about Nick

Nick just downing a whole bottle of whatever that stuff is

Is Mr. Kinkel gonna soundproof his garage like Freddy did?

Dad had a one-night stand with a carnie

Harvey has zero patience for this lady

Moon pie

Zelda licking the spoon

Sabrina inviting her aunts to the flash mob

Hilda wants to go, and Zelda says they are too busy

It is exactly the time to question tradition

Ms. Wardwell is confused

Nick can’t come because he’s getting drunk

Let’s say we didn’t investigate especially not with Robin

Sabrina has witch obligations so she can’t help

Robin not joining because he’ll be found out

Sabrina asking if Hilda astral projecting

“oh, no, tried to, couldn’t, drove” ❤

Come on, Sabrina let go to the Academy

The difference is there aren’t witch hunters around

“It means the Dark Lord is a sore loser, and he's cut us off like the petulant brat he is.”

Well, they now know Sabrina is Queen of Hell

Love Zelda calling Sabrina “your highness” despite being in trouble

Sabrina does have a savior complex

Hilda not knowing what “the tea” is

Ambrose is going to hell

“Well, what am I going to wear?” ❤

Nick just straight up punching Lucifer

The carnival grounds look creepy empty, but I guess that’s the whole idea

Roz exploring on her own

Snakeskin never a good sign

Is the snake charmer Medusa?

I wouldn’t say Roz is sex-obsessed

The carnies take the same day of the Hare Moon off?

What did Medusa do to Roz?

Robin alerted the carnival that Theo, Harvey and Roz where gonna snoop

Robin Goodfellow? Isn’t that the name of Puck?

Ostara what the fuck is that?

Odd that the Hare Moon and Ostara is on the same day

Stop tormenting Nick, Luci

Nick isn’t actually beating up Luci he’s beating up Blackwood which deserves it!

Faustus isn’t happy he’s been beaten up

Lilith asking why Ambrose is in hell

Privy counselor is what he came up with

Um, excuse me Crowley was king of hell! And I miss him (I know wrong show)

Ambrose is happy to be in hell

The magic comes from Luci himself, not hell

“Of course, Lucifer's power is celestial, not infernal” just blew Ambrose’s mind

Lilith laughing when Sabrina says they need another angel

Angel’s tried killing Sabrina last year and they stashed one away

What like you’ve never lied, Zelda

Hilda telling Zelda, Cee proposed to her

Zelda is sad that Hilda is gonna leave her

Hilda just said they haven’t set a date so she’s not going anywhere

Plus, I doubt Dr. Cee would let Hilda abandon her coven in their hour of need

I doubt you could explain to the hospital what happened

Yes, let’s not kill the angel in case we need more blood

Dorian has taken a taste

I don’t understand why Hilda couldn’t just check on her

Yes, your powers are waning but that don’t stop you from trying to figure out what made Roz sick

Sabrina about to find Nick with sex demons

“I can explain” no thank you, nothing you can say would be a good enough reason for that

Dorian is gonna drink the blood

“I thought it might help with my complexion.”

Hilda coming up with a way to use the little bit of blood Dorian saved

“What's a moon bath?” exactly what it sounds like

“Yes, it is lunacy, as in pertaining to the moon, lunar, lunacy.”

“should I go check on her?” YES! That’s is your friend and maybe you would figure out whats up with the carnies

More singing…. I’m not going to lie I think they sing better than Riverdale

It’s weird seeing everyone in white

Because the carnies in masks isn’t creepy

Hilda is like “look who’s here”

Nick is part of the coven why wouldn’t he be there? Just because he’s going down a downward spiral

I feel bad that Roz has to wait for Sabrina

The dude’s face is like “gross”

Because who doesn’t love Nutella?

They switched allegiance

Dark Lord can go get fucked

I wonder if Sabrina is still a virgin

Ambrose saying “the old old country”

Zelda asking if they are going to be moving on soon

Trust me dude, you don’t wanna stay in witch city

Hilda trying to make small talk

At least she takes care of the spiders and not hurt them…I on the other hand will burn the house down if I see a spider which explains why I’m not allowed a culinary torch

How the fuck you know if Hilda’s spiders are happy or not?

Its Circe and didn’t she transform people into animals?

Pretty sure they aren’t Pagan witches…think they are the pagan monsters

Nick really is over Dorcas

The snake did something we all hoped to do strike Dorcas and poison her

Medusa ain’t wrong…we are guest in this world and the animals were here first

Why not join forces? Aside from the virgin sacrificing thing Sabrina’s coven is in need of a new god

Harvey checking out Medusa’s tent and finding the statues

I can see how Nick thinks he didn’t do anything wrong, but it would have been better to just kick the snake out of the area

NO ONE TOLD YOU TO TAKE THE DARK LORD INSIDE YOU!!

“I detest teen angst” and then Dorcas’ face is like “damn”

Well, maybe if you fucking talked about it Nick instead of going off with sex demons

And the first season Nick did say that monogamy wasn’t really for witches so that’s also on you, Sabrina

Sabrina, people process trauma differently

Though Nick’s way isn’t healthy

Lilith really fucked up with her treatment of Nick while in Hell

Yes, I know the dark lord is inside Nick but so is Nick

You didn’t have to wrestle, I guess

Again, Nick you chose to sacrifice yourself! Sabrina could have figured out another way to trap the dark lord hell she didn’t even want you to do it

Damn Nick tell Sabrina how you really feel about her

That’s on you if you see Luci when you see Sabrina

Someone is coming for you Agatha and about time too

Never go towards the music

I like Dorcas’ outfit

Yes, because whatever is in Forest is gonna response with Wazzzup

It’s Medusa!!

Nick visiting Luci

Red mercury and dragons’ tears…Luci offering Nick drugs

Don’t do the favor

Everyone is in white but Prudence

They look like aliens when they are glowing

“I feel tingly all over” ❤ Ambrose

Fuck the pagans

Like rude taking things from the witches that shared their picnic with y’all

The moon got eaten

Sabrina needs to find Nick and Prudence wants her sisters

Roz is stone 😭😭

Snakes in the cots

Melvin running to Zelda is the best thing about Melvin this season

I mean, it’s not like you guys have a god right now

How come it took a while for Roz to turn into stone, but Dorcas was quick…was it because she looked at Medusa longer?

Turning back to the dark lord

Luci is gone

And Nick is dying

Okay, if you still have room for prompts, anything you'd like to write (maybe a couple of years in the future) for Maribel in Dr. Isobel Evans and the Fountain of Youth universe?

Every year on Maria’s birthday, Isobel gives her twopresents.Isobel’s finishing up the first present (with her tongue working very hard tomake sure it’s the best birthday present ever) when Maria tugs on her hair andbrings Isobel up towards her lips for a messy kiss. “I know what I want thisyear,” Maria says, a sparkle in her eyes, “for my special birthday present.”Every year after Isobel devotes hours to worshiping her girlfriend’s body, sheoffers one adventure into an old myth or artifact – Maria’s choice – which theygo chasing down after. Isobel’s had to put some restrictions on it because sheneeds to be able to actually find it, which is why she’s taken to giving Mariaher book of half-finished cases for Maria to slide through and pick.“Oh?” Isobel murmurs against the kiss, straddling her girlfriend so she canteasingly slide her fingers over her abdomen, toying and gently advancingtowards her breasts. “And what adventure are you dragging me on this year?”“Medusa,” Maria says, tugging Isobel down for another kiss.

Isobel drags herself away from the kiss reluctantly, but she needs to make sureMaria’s serious about this one. “You’re sure?”It’s not that she can’t deliver (she actually thinks she’s very close on thisone, to the point that she knows the exact location of where they need to go,even though when they get there is where the adventure truly starts). It’s thepart where it’s a dangerous case if the legends are to be believed. If Mariaand Isobel have learned anything over the years, it’s that most of the legendsthat they hear about are simply real things that got twisted into myths.Isobel has to wonder if there aren’t a few tall tales about her out there.(Privately, she hopes there are)“I’m so sure,” Maria promises, her breath hitching as Isobel’s long hands splayover her rib cage and those deep breaths send Isobel’s palms rising and falling.“Scorned woman who gets revenge on men?” She gives Isobel a confident littlegrin. “Sounds right up our alley.”She’s right about that.“Then we’re on the case,” Isobel makes her promise. “I’ll call in and give theschool my notice, book the tickets tonight. Hand me my phone?” “Really? You want your phone right now?” Maria tips her head to the side andflips them so that Isobel’s the one on her back. Maria begins to slowly inchher way gracefully lower, pressing slow kisses over Isobel’s skin as she goes.“There’s nothing I can do to convince you to hold that thought for tomorrowmorning?”Isobel’s back arches as Maria pushes her thighs apart and her curls tickle thesensitive skin there as she begins to be very distracting. Letting out ayelp and a pleading cry, Isobel tangles her hands in Maria’s hair, breathingraggedly as she decides that sure, tomorrow sounds like the perfect time to dothe work.“Fuck, Maria,” she gets out, her voice low and thick with need.“That’s next,” is Maria’s guarantee, but Isobel wants less talking and moreattention paid to her, so she uses her fingers to dig into Maria’s hair andguide her back to what she wants. It might be Maria’s birthday, but that’s no excuse for Isobel to go completelywithout pleasure tonight.And tomorrow, she’ll start planning a trip to go and search for the mythicalMedusa. *A week later, Isobel’s got their bags packed and is in her summer best – alinen white pantsuit and a large-brimmed hat. She hands Maria the planetickets, taking smug delight in seeing Maria’s face light up. “Greece?”“Sometimes, the myth’s not completely wrong,” Isobel says, wrapping herarm around Maria’s waist to guide her to the hired car that’s waiting. “I haveher tracked down to a small village in Greece. There are stories right up untila few months ago about lifelike statues of certain objects, including men,” shesays. “Whatever Medusa might have been once upon a time is still happening now.From my research, I think they’re aliens who pass their powers down to the nextgeneration,” Isobel shares as she helps Maria into the car.“So she’s real? Medusa is real?” Maria asks dubiously. “You’re the one who picked this case!”“I thought maybe it would be some kind of artifact that might touch you tostone. Maybe, I don’t know, a vase or a hairbrush.” Maria’s eyes are growingwider and Isobel recognizes that look. They’re not leaving Greece until theyfind this woman, so Isobel has to hope this isn’t a dead end.  “It’s a woman, a poor woman.” Her gaze growssteely and she turns on her seat to look at Isobel. “We’re going to rescueher.”“Yes, we are,” Isobel guarantees.The rewarding kiss that Isobel gets for her staunch determination is a niceincentive, even though it’s one she wouldn’t have needed. Maria has a habit ofpicking the most amazing cases for them to look into, and now that they’vedeveloped a routine, Isobel feels safe bringing Maria into the field with her. It's an easy trip to Greece, seeing as Isobel’s booked them in first class thewhole way there, which means that when they arrive, she’s feeling refreshed andready to go. She settles her satchel over her shoulder, sable fedora on her head, and linksarms with Maria as she brings them to the small coastal town where the trailhad gone cold. It’s a beautiful seaside town with mountains nearby, a placethat Isobel thinks could have been a romantic getaway even without theadventuring side-trip aspect.Isobel will focus on the beautiful sights around them later. Right now, she’s ready to go, eager, and they have a trail to pick up. “What doyou say we go talk to some locals?” Isobel suggests, once they’ve unpacked intheir hotel penthouse suite (because Isobel only travels in style and she lovessplurging on Maria). “I was thinking ouzo at the bar,” Maria agrees, with a flirty little smileIsobel’s way. She adjusts her wide-brimmed sun hat, leading the way in a shortlittle sundress that’s definitely going to get Isobel plenty thirsty soon. They’ve got work to do before they get to their celebrations. “Sounds like a plan.”It's a plan that gets them exactly where they need to be, as it turns out.Because the moment they enter the tavern, Isobel hears it. It’s a mournful wailing that can’t be ignored, something that only other alienswould be able to do. Isobel feels completely vindicated and despite theheadache she’s going to have, she’s smiling smugly. “What?” Maria asks, knowing her girlfriend well.“I hear her,” Isobel says, doubling back on the tavern to search for where thatcry is coming from. When she turns towards the mountains, it seems to amplify.“There,” she says, and tugs on Maria’s hand to get them moving that way. The ouzo is going to have to wait. Isobel follows the distressed psychic call in her mind, knowing with immenseclarity that Medusa isn’t just a real woman, but she’s an alien. She tugs onMaria’s hand to bring her along, towards the cavernous mountain complex. Asthey move, it begins to get louder, more like a scream than a piercingalarm, and she stops near a large mansion that sits on the mountainside.“Iz,” Maria murmurs, when Isobel stops in her tracks. “What is it? Is it here?”Isobel tries to sort through the screaming in her head, because it’s not comingfrom the house. She looks to the side, where there’s a grotto-like entrancenearby in the garden. Wordlessly, she begins to pull Maria with her, knowingthat the hairs on the back of her neck are standing on end and she should becautious, but she knows that this is the right way to go. Whatever is waiting for them is inside that cave structure. “Isobel,” Maria hisses, more worried now. “No, it’s okay,” Isobel promises, because the screaming is gone. She’s closedher eyes to send out a peaceful signal, that they’re here to rescue the woman,that they’re friends, and it’s going to be okay. “I promise, it’s okay,” sheguarantees, and advances towards the cave. It’s a deep structure, with limestone and labyrinthine twists and turns, but agentle slope downwards. Isobel creeps further into the cave, passing a manfrozen in time in stone form. She can hear breathing a little further and whenshe glances up, she sees a beautiful woman behind bars. There are no snakes inher hair, but it’s clearly matted. Not for one moment does Isobel fear avertingher gaze.Whatever happened to this man had been done purposefully, and Isobel trusts thesame won’t happen to them.“Oh, thank the heavens,” the woman sobs. “It’s been four days since I got soangry and turned him to stone and the last of my food ran out this morning. Ithought I was doomed, I thought I was done for.”That psychic resonance from earlier makes sense now. It had been a last-ditchattempt – a desperate wail to try and get another alien’s attention.Cautiously, she steps aside to gesture for Maria to come into the cave, stillwary, but trusting that they’re not going to be turned to stone.“I’m Isobel Evans and this is my girlfriend, Maria. We’re not here to hurtyou,” she says bluntly, wanting to make sure they’re all on the same page whenit comes to that.“I’m Marianna Méduse,” she introduces herself, but her smile turns wry andbrittle. “I think you already know what it is my family can do.”“How long have you been here?” Maria asks, her brow furrowed and her tonedripping with sympathy. Isobel almost tells her to roll it back, because pityisn’t something that a prisoner is probably after. Marianna doesn’t seem to mind, but she likely has other things that she’sworried about. “Only a few weeks,” she says, exhaling with dismay. “I’m normally so good atkeeping my powers contained. When I get so angry that they activate, it’s onlyanimals that I turned or inanimate objects. Then, a month ago in the local bar,some man grabbed by arm too tightly. I turned on him and it was instantaneous,like I didn’t even think about it. They locked me up here in this torture caveafter.”“Men,” Isobel says derisively, with all the proper hatred in her voice. Shefocuses on the lock, using powers that Michael’s been teaching her to unlockit, watching the door swing open. “The good news is that we’re here to rescueyou,” she says brightly. “And you can do whatever you want.”“You’re like me? An alien?” Marianna says, staring at Isobel.“I heard you,” Isobel says, which should give her the answer she’s looking for.“I’m like you, and if you want to come with us, we’d like to take you away fromhere, give you some security.” Isobel can only imagine that the town is nolonger a home for her. She can only imagine the spectacle of what must havehappened in the bar and the witch hunt that had followed to get Marianna lockedup like this.She lets her gaze slide between the two of them, clearly still nervous aboutthem, and unsteady about whatever decision she’s about to make.“Isobel means what she says,” Maria adds, stepping forward to hold out bothhands to her. It’s an invitation and an opening, showing that they’re allowingthemselves to be vulnerable to her. “We’ll take care of you, we promise. Thereare others like you back where we live. People like you, and you can beyourself.”Marianna glances to Isobel, like she’s waiting for her advice.“It’s your choice,” she says. “But I think Maria’s right. There’s a whole otherworld waiting for you and I’d like to show you that you can be an alien in thisworld and not be afraid.”Marianna steps forward, takes Maria’s hands, and sags forward with a relievedsob. Well, at least bringing a woman back home with them is going to be much easierto clear through customs than a cursed vase or statue. The logistics of whatthey’re going to do once she gets there is a little trickier, but Isobeldoesn’t care at the moment. They’ve rescued an imprisoned woman and are givingan alien a new chance at life.She’ll call that a successful mission any day.*“I still can’t believe you did that,” Michael mutters as he drinks his secondof the night, care of Mimi’s soft spot for him. Maria would never give him twoin a row so quickly (or for free), but Mimi’s been out of the hospital for afew days now and every time Michael smiles sweetly at her and reminds her thatAlex married him, she melts and pours him a new one.One day, that’s going to stop working.And one day, Isobel will stop being jealous that she doesn’t get the same eventhough she’s dating Mimi’s daughter (though maybe if she got off her ass andproposed, she’d get all the free drinks she wants).Isobel pries her gaze away from the booth at the back of the bar, even if it’snearly impossible to take her eyes off Maria when she’s wearing that gorgeous bluedress. “What?”Michael rolls his eyes. “Earth to Isobel,” he quips, snapping his fingers infront of her face. He gestures heatedly to the booth. “That!”Isobel looks back to try and understand why Michael’s so annoyed. Maria andAlex have got Marianna there with them, getting her acclimatized to life backin society. They’re starting with Roswell instead of a bigger city because theywant to make sure that she’s comfortable before she goes back out into theworld fully.Kyle’s also there, because Maria and Isobel had conspired to introduce Mariannato a few decent men.Oh.Well, that explains Michael’s annoyance. “He’s not the same asshole he used tobe, you know. Maria and I thought it’d be nice if Marianna met a decent guy.”Michael opens his mouth and Isobel rolls her eyes. “Alex is married and doesn’tcount,” she cuts him off, already knowing exactly what he was going to say.“I still think there are better men out there,” Michael grumbles, picking upthe beers so they can head back to that table. “You married the one you think is best,” Isobel counters. “Of course you do.”“Speaking of marriage…”Isobel’s on her feet, because she doesn’t need this grief from Michael, either.“Maria!” she says brightly, walking fast enough to get in front of Michael sohe can’t push a topic that she’s planning (she just needs more time).“How’s everything over here?” she asks, settling back into Maria’s arms. “Marianna and Kyle were just talking about how they both want to go on a roadtrip and how she’s always wanted to see California.” Isobel recognizes thatsmug note in Maria’s voice. She loves the thrill of the hunt, but she alsoenjoys meddling in the love lives of their friends (which is partially why sheand Michael get along, because neither of them can stop pestering the otherabout their relationships). “I was giving them some tips.”Michael puts the beer in front of Alex before he slides in beside him. “And if he turns out to snore in his sleep,” he jokes, “then none of us wouldmind a stone Valenti.”“It would immortalize his abs,” Alex says absently, sipping at his beer. “Giveus a chance to touch them more.”Kyle flushes furiously red, Michael lets out a jealous cry, and Isobel can’thelp laughing until she cries, loving how badly that’s backfired on him. Shecan tell Marianna is still slightly out of her depth here, but Maria’s betterthan all of them, because she’s the one who leans over and murmurs, “Take theroad trip,” in an encouraging tone, “and definitely get to see the abs.”“They’re an attraction of their own,” Isobel agrees, getting comfortable atMaria’s side as all hell breaks loose. She doesn’t care in the slightest. It’s been another amazing adventure andanother great year with her girlfriend. Better than that, Isobel’s alreadyconcocting a plan to make Maria’s birthday next year the best yet, because whatcould be better than a proposal and a honeymoon adventure?Nothing in the world, as far as Isobel’s concerned.

Legion of Super-Heroes In The 52 Multiverse

My idea of what the different Legion counterparts look like based on DC’s current 52 Multiverse, making assumptions based on Earths which already exist and the blank Earths I’ve created ideas for.

Earth-0: The Retroboot Legion, which is currently missing because the 31st Century has been cut off from the rest of the universe as if someone or something shielded it from Flashpoint and Dr. Manhattan’s assault. A version of Saturn Girl is in the 21st Century, but she is NOT from this Legion.

Earth-1: There is no Legion, because this Earth still doesn’t have a 31st Century. There seems to be something really wrong with this universe, because it shouldn’t be taking this long to finish developing.

Earth-2: The New 52 Legion, yet it’s still unclear if this Legion came into existence before or after the previous Earth-2 was destroyed during “World’s End.” However, a few hundred years prior a Legion-esque group called Infinity Inc. existed, and they were made up of the descendants of the Justice Society.

Earth-3: The Cartel of Super-Criminals, which no longer exists because Earth-3 was destroyed by the Anti-Monitor. For more info, see their Antimatter Universe version.

Earth-4: Has no Legion.

Earth-5: Has no Legion, but a version of Thunder exists.

Earth-6: Has no Legion, unless someone gets back to Stan Lee about a “Just Imagine... The Legion” comic.

Earth-7: The Essential Comics Universe version of Earth-8′s “Galactic Gladiators.” They were destroyed along with the rest of Earth-7 by the Gentry.

Earth-8: The Galactic Gladiators, an homage to Marvel’s Imperial Guard. Are currently dealing with the Firebird’s latest rebirth and are not on good terms with the G-Men.

Earth-9: Legion of Super-Heroes, which is not a group but the name of an online dating game but with superheroes. Since this is the Tangent Comics universe, the name’s been taken into a totally unexpected tangent.

Earth-10: A Legion made up completely of non-humanoid aliens, inspired by the efforts of an aged Overman attempting to redeem himself for the sins he performed under Adolf Hitler’s direction. The Legion fights to create a galactic utopia for all races, sexes, and religions.

Earth-11: The League of Super-Heroes, a version of the Legion featuring male versions of the lady Legionnaires, and female versions of the guy Legionnaires. Genderqueer and gender neutral members like Chameleon and Quislet retain their gender. ALL the guys have sexy outfits.

Earth-12: The DC Animated Universe version of the Legion.

Earth-13: The House of Gems, a Legion inspired from Gemworld in order to play up the connection between Amethyst and the White Witch.

Earth-14: The Legends of the Dead Earth Legion, led by Wildfire, which has been trying to reform the United Planets and is reaching out to the multitude of planets that have been separated for far too long.

Earth-15: Has no Legion because it was destroyed by Superboy-Prime in the 21st Century.

Earth-16: A sort of mash-up of the FYL Legion and the Reboot Legion since this is a world primarily based on 90s DC characters. Features the Reboot original Legionnaires as members of the SW6 Legion. Basically if the FYL Legion had been thought out in advanced and Mon-El was the inspiration from the beginning.

Earth-17: From the future of an Earth ravaged by Atomic War, this Legion is a blistering parody of space war films like Starship Troopers in its battle against the supposedly evil Spider Guild.

Earth-18: A Western Legion befitting a Western Earth. Based off that one pin-up from Legion #100.

Earth-19: A Jules Verne inspired Legion to match the Victorian/Edwardian aesthetic of this gaslight Earth.

Earth-20: Has no Legion.

Earth-21: A stylized Silver Age inspired Legion to match the New Frontier. If Darwyn Cooke drew a Legion pin-up, they live on this Earth.

Earth-22: The Kingdom Come Legion.

Earth-23: An afrofuturist Legion including the two daughters of President Superman, Supergirl Red and Supergirl Blue.

Earth-24: The Logjam of Super-Heroes, which spends more time trying to finish its role call than it does fight evil. Their greatest enemy is No-Brainiac 5. (See New Year’s Evil: Mr. Mxyzptlk)

Earth-25: A version of the Legion in what used to be the Wildstorm Universe, they were originally slaughtered by the bastard knockoff Authority, but the Worldstorm revived them. Given this Earth was ravaged during “Number of the Beast” and then lost its numbering when Dr. Manhattan stole most of its heroes and villains, it’s unknown if they’re still alive.

Earth-26: A Lotta Supa Animals, a bunch of cartoon animal versions of the Legion that exist in the sub-universe Earth-C. Includes Cosmic Colt, Saturn Snake, and Lightning Labrador.

Earth-27: In Universe-27A, there is the Legion led by Cosmic King, Saturn Queen, and Lightning Lord, and they are heroic individuals. In Universe-27B, there is the Vanguard of Tomorrow inspired by the many folktales and legends of Earth. In Universe 27C there is no Legion, but many Legionnaires whose parents were villains, are among those in the “Super Brats” community.

Earth-28: The Legion Academy is a school for superheroes. Every one of the teachers is one of the main Legionnaires, while the students are every hero and heroine who ever applied to the Legion in other continuities.

Earth-29: The Bizarro Legion.

Earth-30: The Legion of Luthors, a group made up of different descendants of Lex Luthor on other planets. They’ve tried going back in time to fight the communist leader, Superman, in the name of their great grandfather.

Earth-31: When piracy took to the stars after humanity gained a semblance of space travel following the tsunamis and earthquakes which ravaged Earth, there are now battles aboard great space ships and schooners. The Legionnaires are pirates of tomorrow, sailing on great vessels across the ocean of time.

Earth-32: An amalgamated Legion where the members equal at least two Legionnaires combined into one.

Earth-33: The Threeboot Legion on Earth-Prime.

Earth-34: Has no Legion.

Earth-35: The Eternity League, an awesome collection of famous teen figures from across time led by Infinity Girl. They include the likes of Tituba, Medusa, Arachne, Joan of Arc, Maid Marian, Atlanta, and Young John Henry. They’ve also invited Kid Supremo and his little sister, Supremia, to join. Their enemies include Johnny Reb and Supremia’s archfoe, Adolfina Hitler, from an alternotime where Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun had a daughter. An homage to Awesome Comics’ League of Infinity.

Earth-36: The Tomorrow Platoon, based off Big Bang Comics’ Legion homage the Pantheon of Heroes. Includes the likes of Optigirl, Jovian Kid, Comedy King, Warpette, Nega Boy, Sister Spectre, Clownfish, and Wintermoon.

Earth-37: Has no Legion.

Earth-38: The Superman & Batman: Generations Legion.

Earth-39: Has no Legion.

Earth-40: Has no Legion.

Earth-41: A Legion inspired from the cast of Robert Kirkman’s “Invincible,” led by Kid Incredible and his girlfriend Atomic Lass.

Earth-42: The Li’l Legion.

Earth-43: The Legion of Blood in a world where vampires became the dominant species and spread throughout the galaxy. The Legion has been split down its ranks by those who still drink blood and those who converted to caffeine, which led to the infamous “Coffee Crisis of Colu.”

Earth-44: The Periodic Legion, where there is at least one robotic Legionnaire for every element in the Periodic Table.

Earth-45: Legion Corps., a subsidiary of Overcorp.

Earth-46: Has no Legion.

Earth-47: The Love-In Legion of the psychedelic Earth-47 where the sixties never ended.

Earth-48: Has no Legion.

Earth-49: The League of Super-Teens, a comic read by Static in the Milestone. In this Meta Earth where all fictional characters in the DCU exist, they are the Legion analog. Yet despite coming from comics in the 1950s its odd they would feature a 90s frat boy and a mall rat type.

Earth-50: Currently home to the Justice Lords, this universe has a future split in half by two Legions, one that followed the Justice Lords’ example and one that rebelled against it.

Earth-51: Has no Legion.

Gn1- Big Fat Egyptian-Greek Wedding

<p>Six years had passed since the Fearleading Squad graduated from Monster High.<br /> Frankie Stein and Ghoulia Yelps ended up at the same university. They mushed their brains together in their freshmeat year and by sophmoan year they engineered a new form of space travel. They're representing Earth as ambassadors in intergalactic councils. Clawdeen Wolf went to Londoom for school and shared rent with her wonderful big sister. She blew through classes like every night was a full moon and opened a boutique in three years. A larger company copied her ideas, she sued, won the case and has her name-brand in 300 stores around the globe. Lagoona Blue briefly joined a cult that said they'd save the ocean but it involved drowning land-creatures. She would leave the cult and go to Ascarican law school to become an defender of the environment. Also when she got out of the cult she found out Gil carried their son whom she gets to visit every other week at his freshwater-grandparents' house. Abbey thought she'd go back to her village but instead traveled with C.A. Cupid to the Greek Islands. Abbey trained with the Amazons then decided to go into advertisement. Her work was ahead of its time, Abbey was relieved to be recruited by a spy agency, err, she became a florist.<br /> Draculaura got in med school but choose to follow her real passion. She got a BA in Creature Writing from the local community college. She recently re-enrolled at Monster High. She's making new friends but stalks the gang on Skullbook.</p>

<p>Cleo DeNile went to Yell University then interned at Ptolemy Towers. She climbed up the pyramid and became Empress of Boo York City; tycoon queen and fashion icon. In celebration of her success, and since she hadn't seen her friends in months, Cleo invited her school chums to her eighty-story-penthouse, everything covered by her generous hand.</p>

<p>"Ghoulia! Getting contacts was the right way to go!" Cleo said as she hugged her beastie.</p>

<p>Ghoulia hugged tighter, "Thank you, Cleo, and thank you again for the donation towards our lighter hover-boards."</p>

<p>The mummy held up her finger, "Don't mention it, I believe in the cause."</p>

<p>"Oh my, Lagoona he's so big!" Frankie said as her sea-friend showed her baby photos on her phone. "And that thing is..."</p>

<p>Frankie motioned to the large fin on his head. Lagoona smiled, "He'll grow into that."</p>

<p>Abbey chewed on shrimp while Jinafire and Clawdeen discussed strategies for bring Jin into the public. Clawd Wolf talked about his residency at BleedingHeart hospital. Venus and Robecca talked about their vitro-fertilization journey and Iris explained how she was naming the new planet. Careers, failures, new couples, a few babies and bad haircuts; adventures were happening for the grads.</p>

<p>Cleo was chatting with Dr. Jane Boolittle as a scaly hand went to her back.</p>

<p>"Great party, Babe, did you see that new head Beatrice grew?" Deuce said, pointing to the monster across the room.</p>

<p>"Jane, the delectable dinner was provided by Deuce's restaurant. He has two Michescream Stars now." The mummy said while she put an arm around his shoulder.</p>

<p>"Cleo." Deuce whined, almost embarrassed at how she told everyone she met.</p>

<p>"Shut it, let me brag." Cleo demanded happily.</p>

<p>"Aww, and you guys are still together? The pets in the vents were right." Jane said.</p>

<p>The mummy didn't know what she meant but grinned, "I know, we're like lightning caught in a bottle. Frankie said that once about a rare good thing."</p>

<p>"I'm not exactly 'caught', Cleo." Deuce said to his long-time ghoulfriends' expanded eyes. "That needs to change."</p>

<p>Everyone turned around to see Gorgon kneel down and take Cleo's hand.</p>

<p>"Cleo DeNile, I-"</p>

<p>"Yes!" Cleo screamed.</p>

<p>Deuce blinked. "Sweet. I had some other stuff to say-"</p>

<p>"Right, go ahead, but yes!" The mummy said, feeling everyone staring at them.</p>

<p>"You know what? Here." Deuce said as he pulled the ring out Cleo snatched it immediately, slid it on her finger then went to her knees to kiss him.</p>

<p>Of course everyone cheered and clapped. The moment filled Cleo's heart to the brim. She had her planning committee/ bridal party in the same room and the love of her eternal-life in her arms. Nothing could spoil things for her now.</p>

<p>In the DeNile mansion Dedyet walked into the lightless throne-room of her husband. She lit a torch and sighed.</p>

<p>"Ramses." She said, bringing the torch to him, "It could be worse."</p>

<p>The former pharaoh grumbled.</p>

<p>"She's in love, it happens." Dedyet suggested to ease her husband's agony.</p>

<p>"How could she do this to me?" Ramses asked miserably.</p>

<p>"Oh, my shining sun, she's a rebel. All we can do now is love her despite disagreeing." Dedyet said while holding her husband's hand.</p>

<p>Cleo welcomed the million kisses from Medusa's snakes.</p>

<p>Deuce was being kiss-swarmed by his Aunt Euryale who had shaved her head but kissed with her own lips. The engaged couple were on Petros Island with the Gorgon sisters.</p>

<p>"We thought they day would never come!" Euryale said hugging her nephew.</p>

<p>"I always knew." Medusa said, hugging her future daughter-in-law.</p>

<p>"No you didn't." Euryale playfully stated.</p>

<p>"A mother knows, and honestly I would've adopted this one if Deuce hadn't let the lead out."</p>

<p>Medusa said. "Oh Maddy." Cleo said with a laugh.</p>

<p>"Let's talk about reserving Aphrodite's temple, we can't fit the whole family so I'm thinking big screens on the mountain."</p>

<p>Stheno the eldest said. "I'm thinking peonys!"</p>

<p>Euryale gasped, "And tarantula-brown dresses!"</p>

<p>"Aunt E, I don't think we-" Cleo interrupted, "I love tarantulas, Auntie. You have wonderful taste."</p>

<p>"Good girl." Euryale said, pinching Cleo's chin. The male gorgon pulled his fiance to the side.</p>

<p>"Why are you lying?"</p>

<p>"I'm pleasing the family." Cleo whispered, "Even if I have to wear taffeta."</p>

<p>Deuce took Cleo's hand, "Babe, I appreciate that but it's our day, I'm choosing the menu and you are planning everything else like you really want to."</p>

<p>The mummy squeezed his hand, "What I really want is our family, friends and loyal subj- fans to be there for us. And see us be perfect."</p>

<p>"Lovebugs, we're carving you a new table for the wedding." Stheno said with an axe in hand.</p>

<p><em>Not like I have connections to dealers from my time</em>, Cleo thought, "I would like that very much, Auntie."</p>

<p>In the Lovecraft Asylum the eldest DeNile daughter sat in the garden and soaked up the sun. One of the butterfly nurses brought Nefera her meds. Nefera kicked the meds out of the cup.</p>

<p>"Tell the monsterazzi they can eat me." Nefera said. "Fetch me a chai-tea."</p>

<p>"Well done, my daughter." Ramses said as he and his wife approached their first born.</p>

<p>"Darling, if we put your meds in something pretty would you take them?" Dedyet asked.</p>

<p>"Does 'pretty' mean diamonds and rubies at a spa?" Nefera asked.</p>

<p>"Yes." Ramses said the exact time Dedyet said, "Maybe."</p>

<p>Nefera grumbled then asked, "It's not a holiday. Why are you two here?"</p>

<p>Ramses sighed deeply, "Tragedy has struck again."</p>

<p>"Ramses," Dedyet warned, "Your sister is engaged. To the boy."</p>

<p>Nefera sneered, "And you put me in the asylum."</p>

<p>"Nefera, if we can convince Cleo to let you come to the wedding then maybe even you could stay out of Lovecraft for a while." Dedyet said.</p>

<p>"Hard pass." Nefera said, crossing her arms.</p>

<p>Nefera's father nodded, "I wish I could say the sam-"</p>

<p>Nefera's mother shot him a look and he cleared his throat. "Very well, my child, but please summon us if you change your mind."</p>

<p>"I'm not the one who needs to change!" Nefera yelled then rolled onto her shoulder to face away from her parents.</p>

<p>The mummy man wanted to give his daughter a million pyramids to see her well. His wise wife said he could not so Ramses and she wished her a fine rest of day.</p>

<p>In Cleo's perosnal work-suite in the DeNile Tower Clawdeen was fitting her long-time friends' bridesmaid dresses. They were not tarantula-brown taffeta.</p>

<p>"She threw Deuce's aunt's baby-making quilt in a whirlpool and took the planning crown back." Lagoona said while helping Clawdeen place lace roses on Abbey's dress.</p>

<p>"There's our ghoul." Clawdeen said, "Hey Jin."</p>

<p>Jinafire walked into the room with a large red egg in a carrier across her chest. "I got the Pan's choir to come to the wedding. Praise is welcomed."</p>

<p>"I thought we were going to call Operetta for the reception." Frankie said while her helping cyber-net-hands sealed envelopes.</p>

<p>"Cleo would like the choir while she walks down the aisle and around the table. Operetta is for the after party." Ghoulia said nibbling on the potential butterscream wedding cake.</p>

<p>Lagoona smiled. "A soundtrack to unlife, Cleo's a deadset."</p>

<p>"Where is she? I'm happy to work for a bride but this is familiar to when she'd leave us to do all the little stuff." Frankie said.</p>

<p>Cleo was finishing a board meeting, launching healthier products in the Ptolemy-DeNile scale-care lines."</p>
