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

In my mind exists an alternate version of the monster high live action universe that is beautiful and new & that they would never ever run. Jackson Jekyll how they write you off as impossible to reintroduce when in truth your existence in universe would evolve the core message of the series to a whole new level and provide a depth to the story that the producers are too afraid to breach 💝

Komos: So apparently the 'bad vibes' I’ve been feeling are actually severe psychological distress

---

Komos: Fool me once, I’m gonna kill you

---

Komos: Okay okay stop asking me if I'm straight, gay, bi, whatever. I identify as a FUCKING THREAT.

---

Komos: Someone will die.

Jackson: Of fun!

---

Komos: I just ended a four year relationship.

Ms. Jekyll: Oh, I’m so sorry. Are you okay?

Komos: Hm? Oh yeah, I’m fine. It wasn’t my relationship.

*Jackson and Holt fighting from across the room*

---

Jackson: How do I deal with my enemies?

Komos: Kill them

Jackson: That's a bit extreme, I was hoping for a more passive solution

Komos: Kill them only a little?

---

*The family is having dinner together*

Jackson: Mom, can you pass the salt?

Ms. Hyde: *Throws Komos across the table*

---

Jackson: Go to Hell

Komos, tearing up: I wish I could

---

Jackson: Remember when you didn't try to solve all your problems with attempted murder?

Komos: Stop romanticizing the past.

---

Komos: *holding a bottle* Is this whiskey or perfume?

Holt: *chugs entire bottle*

Holt: It’s perfume.

stupid shit in the layers

Alright I have an essay due tomorrow but I needed to spit out my new version of Komos so hear me out:

Komos is Jackson's uncle, and raised him in the human side until he was 13 years old (cause of the Holt thing)

Jackson met the Dracula family after an accident that led him to the monster side of the world (in this AU, there are hidden portals that unite the human and monster side kinda like reflections). So Komos allows Jackson to live with them in the meantime while he tries to find "a cure" for Jackson (and maybe a way to turn himself fully human)

Long story short, after 2 years Komos becomes the groundkeeper at monster high so that Jackson still continues with his studies and for vengeance reasons.

Komos truly cares about Jackson, but doesn’t care and actually resents Holt for altering their peaceful life at the human side. He just wants Holt to dissapear and never come back.

So yeah family issues, generational trauma and the complicated life of living ostracized from both communities that you were raised in (is this a biracial allegory? Yes but I won't claim it's perfect. Since I was only raised as a chilean funny pal, so there was never a clash of cultures within my circle, if anyone wants to talk about their experience around being biracial feel free to talk about it ^^ )
