I’ve been wanting to make monster high comics so these are some of my designs for the ghoulfriends

[jestersocks]

has anyone read the lisi harrison monster high books kinda recently because i just finished the first one and wow it’s fascinating as an accompaniment or expansion of the world. Draculaura’s diary crush on jackson is adapted into writing, as well as frankie being the ‘new ghoul in school’ are carried over. Obviously, there are many differences (monsters being hidden and everyone’s alternate names for most of the series. oh and melody’s existence)

It’s a great time capsule of 2010 from the fashion to the music to the reference, it’s very fun.

It’s interesting how in the fandom, g1 deuce is generally considered the best male character and in the books he’s a total cheating loser, and invisibilly’s weird prominence in the story as frankie’s only ally when she tries to raise that the monsters should come out of hiding.

I actually liked melody and frankie crushing on jackson and holt respectively because i think it’s more interesting than frankie just liking both of them.

HOWEVER, MELODY’S RESONANCE WITH MONSTERKIND BEING FROM THE FACT THAT SHE USED TO HAVE A HOOKED NOSE IS CRAZYYYY. (i have a hooked nose for reference).

I did like the earlier segments where she references regretting getting the procedure and saying that in new salem, people would’ve accepted her for how she was. But Melody comparing her having a big nose to Jackson who has essentially just Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and she keeps going “omg he’s a monster!” Like… cmon.

Also her big choice being:

a) follow jackson out of the dance where he is presently begging to leave as he is being triggered

or

b) follow this monster hunt for frankie (that she doesn’t even agree with) because her stupid mean girl friends want her to.

In 2013 (when i got it), this choice of a was obvious.

in 2026, as an adult, THE CHOICE IS DOUBLE OBVIOUS. DUH ITS A. A A A A! why is there any attention put to b! fuck becca and hayley or whatever their names are.

Your boyfriend has just realised that all of his crudeness and brashness is given consciousness and shares his body as a separate identity and is presently having some kind of episode and you let him (after switching) run off on his own, after there was so much emphasis being put on not letting monsters be discovered. And then her friends blackmail and betray her anyway!

It’s also interesting how the phrase ‘hooking up’ originally meant to meet platonically and has slowly shifted to mean ‘having sex’ to the point where DJ (holt) says “im hooking up with both of you” (referring to melody and frankie). Like jackson is dating melody, sure. They’ve made out like once. And DJ has had about 3 flirty conversations with frankie and that’s it.

The only mildy complicated the book seems to raise is the question. “should you compromise your appearance, identity and culture as a minority to appease the majority because by embracing your culture in public, you harm your own community.”

Because, be yourself, be unique, be a monster is the franchise’s core principle. However, for your own safety, you may have to conform. But also by hiding, you eliminate the possibility to ever come out of the shadows and prove that your community is not as dangerous as people claim.

I liked what Viktor (frankie’s dad) says about having a quiet pride. That even though the world despises them, they find a sense of inner beauty and still make their daughter in their own image. Because there’s nothing wrong with them. It’s the world.

Anyway fun book, especially when the last two books you’ve read are wuthering heights and frankenstein. Good change of pace to have everything spelled out for you and very obvious and simple.
