 New Monster High G3 refresh Draculaura and Clawdeen dolls 2023 - YouLoveIt.com 

https://www.youloveit.com/dolls/2700-monster-high-cleo-and-deuce-valentines-day-2-pack-dolls.html - color me intrigued

https://www.youloveit.com/dolls/2740-new-2023-monster-high-innovation-series-1-skulltimate-secrets-dolls.html - I never got a Clawdeen with Gen 1 (mainly because none of them caught my interest) but I'm definitely going grabby hands with this one. Lagoona is adorable. But that gold jacket on Cleo is ugh (everything else I love but that gold jacket)

Holy fucking shit - I bounce into https://www.youloveit.com/dolls/ to see the details for the new Monster High dolls (which I'm sort of side-eyeing the name of Cleo's new pet - deets here: https://www.youloveit.com/dolls/2417-new-monster-high-2022-dolls-masterpost-collector-new-core-plasets-and-more.html - I'm not sure that's a good idea for a pet name...)

when what to my wondering eye did appear, Winx Club dolls. In 2022.
Huh. And color me surprise that *Tecna* appeared in one of the lines
(where's Musa and Layla/Aisha in those lines??)

So, SPOILER from the Frankie Haunt Couture - but what the ever loving fuck is this!!! Link to see it with your own eyes behind the spoiler cut


( Spoiler like whoa )

https://www.youloveit.com/movies/2314-moster-high-live-action-movie-in-production.html - I'm still feeling unsure about the movie. There's something off about the ghouls (I think it's mainly Draculaura that's not vibing with me - there's something about her expression in that photo that doesn't scream Draculaura to me)

Sirenna settled down at the desk, her pale blue eyes flicking over the charts that she had requested from her future father-in-law. She supposed it was a bonus that in addition to making seating charts that much easier for future weddings (two years and six months before Dexter was done with his internship under Raven's father before he'd be able to return home and marry her - not that she was counting the days... much), but it would finally clear up who was related to who in the main family. She picked up her mug of coffee (a hotshot if one must be accurate - of course, hers was heavier on the coffee than on the Galliano or heavy cream, if only to get her through the morning) when she spied it. She swallowed harshly, sputtering a bit before composing herself - she had to have read that wrong, really, there was no way...

"Did you know you have a spider in your family tree?" Sirenna asked Daring later that afternoon.

"I'm sorry, a what?" he asked, having been watching Darling practice her fencing before turning his attention back to Sirenna.

"There's a spider in your family tree," she repeated. "You didn't know..?" she asked when she noticed the look of confusion at first.

"Oh, you're talking about Aunt Arachne and her daughter," Daring said, connecting the dots after a moment, a soft chuckle coloring his speech. "I think Aunt Arachne is Father's second cousin once removed," he continued, a thoughtful tone to his voice, trying to place where she was in the tree from ever-loving hell.

"So, have you met her?" Sirenna asked, curious now.

"My aunt, once but that was before the twins were born," Daring said, "my cousin, nope. She attends a sister school that's a pain in the ass to reach. At some point, Dex is going to bother Cupid to see if she can open a portal so we can go visit her."

Sirenna could feel her eyebrows arching. "A sister school...?"

Daring nodded. "It's called Monster High, and I assume you can guess why it's called that."

Sirenna nodded slightly. Well, if Ever After High was where the children of fairy tale characters went, then it was only logical there would be a school for the children of the legendary monsters. "Does your dad know that your cousin is a...?"

"Nope," Daring said, popping the p in nope. "It should be vastly entertaining..."

so, from the Monster High Facebook page - Monster High ’22. Stay tuned for the skull-timate reveal! Keep your eyes peeled for sneak-peek content, surprise drops, and lots of ghouly fun along the way.

(so, if MH is staging a return, does it mean it's possible that EAH could?)

(this makes what? Two reboots?)

so, I joined a Patreon to get some custom content for my Sims - I squeaked with delight at finding out the Simmer I'm following is doing Monster High and Ever After High

(I have Twyla, Meowlody, Purrsephone, Venus, Abbey, Lagoona, Spectra, Toralei/Viperine/Rochelle {who aren't in my game yet} from MH in, and Ashlynn/Apple/Raven/Lizzie/Maddie/Meeshell from EAH are in. Bunny and Jinafire are coming soon and I can't wait to pop them into my game. I think I scared at least Piper with the high pitched squeak)

so, got my first Enchantimal (Patter) and my first Monster High mini (Gigi)

I'm happy, heh

yeah, I know you said you probably wouldn't be buying MH again but, might I direct your attention over here:
