I’ve been extremely disappointed/discouraged by Mattel and Monster High lately, so I figure it’s time to hunker down and devote more time to my own little monster series wip!
Allow me to properly introduce Cryptoria’s Web, an indulgent passion project I started oddly enough when Monster High first dropped G2. My series leans more heavily into Halloween, with a magical twist and sprinklings of Greek mythological references.
I finished this series of drawings last summer, so it seems like a fitting time to post. There are a couple of characters missing here but I haven’t finalized their designs.
There’s a lot more I can and will share later: for now, enjoy this look into my spooky-cute world~
Rules - In a new post, show the last line you wrote (or drew) and tag as many people as there are words (or however many as you like.)
This is a super self-indulgent WIP, but been wanting to pay tribute to two of my childhood favs: Ken Ichijouji from Digimon and Silver from Pokémon. Revisiting/catching up on their stories and seeing the parallels between them reminds me I still love both these boys very much. <3
In terms of writing, over the past year been working on and off a fic for Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated focusing on Mayor Jones. Gonna put the bit where I last left off under a cut after the tags, since it sorta spoils a character appearance/interaction I kinda wanted to keep under wraps - but not the most major one at least. ^^; (If you know you know... ;()
Jones kept quiet for a moment, opting not to inform the other that his daughter was likely more deeply entrenched in illicit underground affairs than even he was aware of, having surmised she was Velma’s “inside source” Fred had alluded to back when planning the heist to infiltrate Mr. E’s base – and shuddered to think what kind of punishment Pericles might inflict on her if she’d stuck her astute nose where it didn’t belong and meddled with his machinations once again.
“…She’s a smart girl. I’m sure she’s fine.”
Sexuality Headcanon: the b in bunny stands for bi 💜💖💙
Gender Headcanon: female
A ship I have with said character: her/tasuku is cute. I really like ichigo/berry and zakuro/berry too !!
A BROTP I have with said character: I think art of her and Ringo is so cute bc they’re basically both bonus mews...
A NOTP I have with said character: uhh idk I don’t think I’ve seen any too crazy ships to have a solid notp..?
A random headcanon: I feel like the fact she has two animals DNA isn’t talked about enough, esp since I always headcanon that the other girls have behavior stuff with their animals like Ichigo does. Basically, cats, being predators and rabbits being prey, I think she’d have some conflicting instincts, so to speak? Like, just because she was compatible with two doesn’t mean the two should’ve both been spliced with her or that they mesh well... I’d love to see a fic or art exploring the potential issues that might cause...
General Opinion over said character: I love her!! Her whole attitude and look... it’s all very good, I like her a lot! and I get sad when people used to bash her (which luckily I don’t see anymore, maybe bc everyone who did did it as preteens and are now an adults hahaha)

Top 3 ships: Itsuki Koizumi x Haruhi Suzumiya from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (forever my first obsessive OTP), DCAU Tim Drake x Stephanie Brown from Batman (the Animated Series), and I'd say now Shintaro Kisaragi x Ayaki from Kagerou Project
Last Song: Karma by AJR, mostly bc of this Steven Universe animatic
Last Movie: I wanted to go see Birds of Prey/Harley Quinn but didn’t get a chance to before the virus shut down theaters, and also missed the opportunity to see Weathering With You, so I think the last one was technically a rewatch of Your Name with my friend in December. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Currently Reading: Nothing particularly, although I did look through the general TimSteph tag on AO3 recently for the first time in a while. Of the fics I found this one probably stood out to me most since it talks about Steph’s scars from her torture at the hands of Black Mask, which in itself is rarely brought up - but Tim calling her beautiful anyway and kissing them is similar to how I envision DCAU TimSteph’s first attempt at intimacy in reverse. ;(
What Food Are You Craving Right Now: Nothing atm. Just had some yogurt and granola earlier whilst watching the SU finale.
