Are there any non-humans in Monster High that are not considered a type of monster?

In g1 we have CA Cupid! She used to go to Monster High before transferring and shes a greek goddess, not a monster. Posea isnt a student but she is a part of the franchise and I'd argue shes a godess as well. I dont really consider either of them to be monsters.

I do wonder about mermaids and whether or not they're considered monsters? We have great scarrier reef where the ghouls all turn into mermaids, and also Finnigan exists. With the existence of Meeshell over in Ever After High. To me it kind of implies that mermaids are a kind of monster and shes more the exception than the rule... I wonder if the underwater world has its own cultural distinctions as well, if you consider how the reef dwellers treat the kraken.

Jinafire and Isi as well count more as mythological/magical creatures than they do monsters in my book.

Invisi Billy actually is one where I'm puzzled. MH doesn't really stick to the lore it pulls from in terms of Universal Studio Classics, obvi, but technically Billy's dad was a human man who fell into a science experiment. Billy in my mind fits in a weird grey zone where hes lumped in with monsters and considers himself part of that community but falls out of most peoples definition of what a monster is. But hes different enough to not he counted as human. 🤔

Also, technically speaking, I don't think ghosts consider themselves to be monsters in g1? Like they exist in their own dimension, and Spectra's family choosing to move to the monster world is seen as kinda scandalous. Monster society I'd say views ghosts as monsters but its not a label all ghosts subscribe too.

G3 lore states that everything is a monster type though, even humans. So in that universe the answer is no.

#ask #i was gonna mermaids arent a monster type but i think i changed my own mind as i was typing haha #so yeah really its just Posea and Cupid imo #oh i also know that some people say banshees shouldnt count cuz despite being called 'spirits' theyre more akin to a type of fae?? #i dont know a ton about that one #canonically Scarah is considered a ghost tho #ditto with Operetta whos lore makes no god damn sense but mh counts her as a ghost #monster high

(gently patting the american public on the back like a small child) hey little guy. i know this is going to be hard for you but you have to say bye-bye to burger for a little while okay? shhh shh hey hey dont cry, its okay. burger is going to be fine. burger is just funding something very bad and if we give them money then theyll give it to the bad people. so we have to say bye-bye to burger until burger can behave itself okay?

#sunny rambles #yes this is about the mcdonalds boycott #people gave up buses and walked for a year surely you can not eat a burger at a certain fast food restaurant for while. #like seriously some of you guys are weak. make your own damn burgers stop funding a fucking genocide #there are so many burger chains out there it will not kill you to drop mcdonalds for a bit #and burger king (theyre also funding israel)

[anotherpapercut]

sometimes I feel like there's a narrative on here that like. people who work and live not with their parents in their 20s are somehow privileged and its really annoying as someone with 0 family and 0 built in support system lol

#this has nothing to do with the previous post i was just reminded of some unrelated posts I've seen #like i get what people mean but i really dont consider it a privilege to have to graduate at 16 and immediately start working to pay rent #causing a severe worsening of ny physical and mental state so that i can afford to eat #and i would just like to say for the record that id never judge someone for living with their parents because im so envious lmao #just like. of the idea of having parents that would take care of you. ive always been so fascinated by that #because my sister got married at 19 to get out of the house and then depended on her husband bc she also has trouble #working due to disability. were both physically and mentally disabled so we have that in common lol #and then she had to contend with becoming entirely dependent on a man who then had incredible power over her #and now theyre divorced and she has to try to figure out how to do all this stiff at 33 that our mother never taught us #and that ive figured out on my own over the past 7 years. and i just think damn i wish we had family lol #like maybe if we even had 1 relative who cared enough to like. check in with us even?? let alone help #thats always just seemed really incredible to me. and ill never really be able to wrap my head around it

[crowpunkcognitivedecline]

genuinely asking: how do you tell people in your life who you're not particularly close to that they need to start fucking masking again [and stop engaging in some high-risk behaviors like frequently kissing near-strangers with no info on covid status] especially given that disabled people are in their lives.

especially when they're people who have not reacted well to you bringing up issues regarding behaviors that harm inclusion in the past.

like im not going "oh woe is me how can i possibly ask my friends to mask because it makes me uncomfortable" i'm saying that i have many acquaintances who do not have their shit together but who do not react well to light feedback on how their behavior affects others and it is putting me, personally, in danger, but i'd rather not also put myself in emotional danger for no fucking reason

do you know how not in the mood i am to be treated like an obnoxious whiny killjoy for wanting to be safe around people. it's very not in the mood. especially because if they have that reaction the behavior wont change anyway, so i just made people like me even less for nothing at all.

#g-d im just so fucking tired #i want people to act like theyre responsible for their own fucking actions #i want people to wear their g-d damn fucking masks #cw covid #cw covid complicity #cw ableism #cripple punk #ableism

yo question: what do you think.......about ghostsoap? i ~personally~ think its dope esp cuz of all of their banter throughout mw2, ESPECIALLY in the las almas mission, but i know that it might not be everyones cup of tea.........but what do YOU think? (no judgement btw if you hate it with every fiber of your being, im just curious <3)

i do be givin the ghostsoap tag the ol peekaroo every once in a while u got me

yeah i fuck with it! as far as war hardened traumatized emotionally constipated grown ass men go i think they got good chemistry 👌😤 and i was giggling kicking my feet twirling my hair at the dumb back n forths they did in the alone mission sksksksk

#maaaaaaybe ill draw fanart of them eventually #when soap is turned into a qUiRkY enthusiastic twink that weights 90 pounds with a mohawk longer than my own hair is when i exhaustedly #sigh but thats just me personally so put down the damn pitchforks #that is a whole ass man who kills people can we please #esp with how he looked in the previous games like giRLLL #like so many grown ass men ships where one of them inevitably gets turned into an obnoxious twink what can ya do #BUT HEY if thats ur style then thats ur style who am i at the end of the day sksksk #when theyre drawn right boy howdy it rolls my socks up n down 😳

[notedchampagne]

no i get why ppl were pissed about the fanon davekat content before because when i look at sakuatsu and seriei content now im shocked at literally the exact same dynamics repurposed for characters with different personalities.

i do get that people have a taste for certain tropes and dynamics but there is a difference between headcanons and interpretations that influence a certain perception of a character due to personal tastes and like, reducing complex and meaningful characters down to their most consumable archetypes to mass produce another artwork of twinks kissing

#overly obnoxious flirt whos secretly a disaster + tall and gruff looking partner whos secretly a softie #the flirt often has trauma that is either exaggerated or romanticised. the gruff guy is either inexperienced or a sex god #etc etc you know the drill #and i could make a venn diagram of the three ships i mentioned but they are in NO WAY that similar #seeing skts posts that are literally just hornier tskym #and its very prominent now in recent hs fandom. i think younger teens have been getting into fandom recently #the way you can see dynamics and hcs that are nearly identical to stuff ive seen circa 2016 #im not necessarily criticising it. okay maybe a little #ill let ppl do whatever this post is for ME but its genuinely eye opening to look back #on things that youve done with your own two hands and looking at other people and being like #wow! damn! i was not immune to the entry level appeal of these bitches holding hands when theyre presented with the Specific dynamic- #-im looking for! and then upon consuming the media youre already looking at it from a biased and subjective perspective #chat

[bahoreal]

its such a stigma to be like "i don't like dogs" and every time i see anyone dislike dogs they have to adamantly justify it and pander ("dogs are fine really!! you can like them!!! i just personally!! don't like them!!!") it rly. bothers me. like my mum was bitten unprovoked by a dog when she was on a walk and she still doesnt like to go anywhere near dogs even "friendly" ones (it was unprovoked, she walked "too close" to someones gate) and she has to explain that every time someone is like "why wont you sit near my dog?" like. just let people dislike things, even and especially animals whos behaviour entirely depends on how well the owners train them.

#prompted by a dog owner letting their dog sprint full pelt at me while on a run and visibly scared of the dog #the dog jumping up at me and taking nips at my hands while i was trying to step back as far as possible without falling into nettles #i had no idea if this dog would bite if i acted wrong it was a big dog. and the owner was like haha shes so friendly :) #and i was like GET IT AWAY FROM ME #my liking of dogs is very subjective. for real reasons. when im meeting dogs outside of these scenarios ill play with dogs #idk man idk i just wish it was easier for me to be like 'dogs are fucking terrifying because i dont know how well theyre trained' #but when you say that people hear 'you havent trained your dog well enough' and get mad. when its true. train your fucking dog #cause if it runs and me and bites me the Powers That Be can decide its the best thing to do to put the dog down #and i dont want that and i bet you dont want that. #dogs // #im not interested in any arguments about how i need to learn dog behaviour or whatever. control your own damn dog #dog death mention in tags #.jtxt

[mudskip-muses]

hey just a psa if youve ever sent someone hate over their interpretation of a character unfollow/block me right the fuck now it is So unnecessary to do no matter how much you disagree with someone literally just block them its not fucking hard

#there is never a good reason to be rude to someone over fucking fictional characters #not to mention that telling someone theyre wrong or you think theyre 'bad' or whatever does literally nothing #other than make someone feel shitty when you could have just fucking ignored them #remember that nice little saying 'be nice to everyone because you dont know what theyre going through' #do you reeeaaaalllly wanna be the guy that makes someones day worse because you personally dont agree with what they think #about a bunch of Fucking Pixels and shit we all enjoy as a hobby #to escape how awful the world is??? #just be fucking nice why is that so difficult oh my fucking god #sorry skippys in a Mood but also #if you dont like it #Block Me : ) #curate your own damn experience online instead of expecting people to do it for you ffs #ooc #vent

I like everybody else terminally online watched the plagiarism video this weekend

And maybe I'm just coming at this from a perspective of someone who was not exposed to j som before he got exposed but like Jesus fuck what the shit

Plagiarism notwithstanding, that man makes some bogus ass, shit ass claims that on a very basic level just do not pass a sniff test by anyone who knows even a little bit about anything

I mean, the man waxes on longingly about the beautiful aryan nazi bodies to serve the conclusion that US troops volunteered for service to.....prove that it wasn't just the nazis who had perfectly sculpted hairless asses? Is that like......even something anyone thinks smells a little bit true? Like on a basic motivational level, for a nation, for a people, for a single person?

Making claims that the Roman empire was 70% slaves and 30% patricians.........does that even sound correct? Like, even if all you know about ancient Rome is from memes and shit, where are the plebs? You know, the thing we still call people today, when they're acting common and unwashed

The thing about how no songs prior to 1956 made references to kissing....I mean guys.....

And like ......not to like.... But like ..... The man has the charisma of a slow growing fungus. Granted I've only ever seen clips bc by the time I got there, he'd nuked his channel, but like.... I've heard AI voices reading tiktok subtitles inject more urgency and personality into text. J som reads text like he not only doesn't know what he's saying, he doesn't know any of the individual words and how they interact with one another. Like who voluntarily listens to this boring dumbass badly read from a script that has no coherent style tying it together?

Like I know people are gagging for gay rep but fuckin seriously, not only is he a plagiarizing douche who makes shit up wholecloth, he's not even a decent entertainer

Is this what y'all are settling for? Is the bar really that fuckin low?

#taking bets on how long it'll take before j som reemerges from his ''break'' as an alt-right token shill #i say under a year #also damn dude we get it #you're from a small town in NS where it's socially conservative and the gay scene is sad #and even if it weren't sad you dont have the looks charisma or personality to pull the beefcake gays you wanna be fucking #and somewhere not very deep down you hate yourself #you hate that you're dull and complacent and stuck where you are #you think that you are being oppressed as a gay man but you also think you are being oppressed as a cis white man #and you hate how ''easy'' women have it #why do they get to be ''detached'' from ''reality'' like that? why are they ''allowed'' all of their ''fanciful fancies'' #''imagining themselves lusting after serial killers'' #''imagining themselves writing fanfic about fictional gays'' #they're not ''real people'' like j som imagines he is a ''real person'' #theyre not ''serious people'' who have to suffer things like nobody wanting to date them bc they're soulless and untalented #only it's not bc they're women jim #turns out some people --regardless of their gender!-- just have something called ''imagination'' #and wouldn't you know imagination leads to curiosity and learning and sometimes even the ability to formulate one's own opinions #that one may then put into one's own words #and then you know not have to steal 300k words from other people #just to get a little bit of a taste of that thing called having friends and people who admire and care about you

Idk how many of y'all watch Good Mythical Morning but I just want to say that as a gnc person it makes me so happy to see Chase get to dress however he wants and have it just be normal. The crop top he always wears during international food taste tests isn't treated as weird, that's just his cartographer shirt, and it's become such a signature look that other people have to wear it while filling in for him. He plays a few female characters that wear dresses, but the fact that he's playing a woman or wearing a dress is never treated like a joke. The actual joke is that the character he's playing is a fancy dancing cow or an alternate universe version of Little Debbie named Giant Deborah who can teleport across dimensions if you chant for her. The dress is just part of the character, and Chase just happens to be comfortable wearing dresses and really good at playing funny characters. Idk, it just makes me feel really happy to see another gnc person out there thriving and living their best life. I've always been hesitant about being out as nonbinary at work bc I didn't think it would be possible for people to just treat it like a normal thing, and recently I've been worried that once I graduate college and go on to more "professional" work my future employers may see my gender nonconformity as unprofessional, which scares me bc it's not even possible for me to conform to any gender expectations anymore. But. Here on one of my favorite YouTube channels there's a gnc person who gets to dress however they want for their job, even having roles where their gender nonconformity is important to the videos, and it's just treated like the most normal thing in the world. If that's possible then maybe the idea of finding a research job that will respect me isn't so far fetched

#good mythical morning #rambling #idk i just get emotional sometimes #as someone whos worried that even gender nonconformity would be viewed as unprofessional in my future field and frowned upon #regardless of whether i would be interacting with the public #seeing someone whos able to be as gnc as they want at a job where theyre being FILMED for the public and posted to an audience #really does kinda give me hope that i can find acceptance one day #its really cool that stevie presents in a gnc way too sometimes but shes not on camera as much #but idk. it just makes me feel happy #im watching the international foods taste test they posted today and chase is wearing an even shorter crop top under his cartographer shirt #and i was just like HELL yeah you GO king!! #as someone whos been watching the show for a long time and has also seen a lot of old episodes from before i started watching #i like seeing how much more confident chase is now that he dresses how he wants to as well #in a lot of the old videos he dressed very much like a stereotypical straight boy and he seemed a lot more shy and timid back then #now you can just tell how happy he is. he seems so confident in himself and he contributes so much to the show now #idk. i want that one day. i hope i can find a stable career where I'll be accepted for who i am #instead of having to pretend to be something else or worry about what people are thinking of me if i dont #my job now is definitely better than some of my old ones but i still dont really know what people think of me now that im somewhat out #and spending 40 hours a week walking on egg shells with your own damn existence isnt fun :( but. maybe its not forever. i hope

[local-magpie]

ngl i always wonder when i see someone claim not keeping up with global tragedies is a "privilege" how tuned into their local politics and news they are. because honestly? being able to ignore the problems in your own backyard is the real privilege at play.

#it irks me bc its usually USians i see doing this and theyre almost universally focusing on external problems while being super ignorant on #US politics & policy & such #and im like wow huh yeah its soooo privileged of me to make sure i try to understand how my own damn country operates & affects its people #like do you even know any of your local politicians #what petitions are circulating right now #what organizations are active for various types of aid in your area #do you even KNOW what kinds of AID are being offered?? are needed??? come on man #yelling at the void

So it turns out i think maybe my friend group is bad for me actually

#its nobodys fault i think some of us have just. autism flavors that dont always mesh the best #like. one of my friends. is one of my favorite people i know. but i get so scared im saying things wrong or that they dont like me allll the #damn time. no fault of theirs i just have really evil ocd and i care too much about if they like me or not bc i like them so much #like frequently i will be kvetching and they take it srsly and seem annoyed. or like ill jokingly be upset and i dont know if they dont #realize im joking or if they do and theyre just annoyed with it so they dont go along w it? but either way like it doesnt Work and then its #awkward and i dont know. i dont know. i think i need new friends i dont fit anywhere jn this group anymore #i think its going to very much become split into a few smaller groups none of which i fit into as the rest of our friends get here and im #just going to be left out a whole lot or like begrudgingly included but not really needed or wanted there and i dont think i can take that #so i will probably just leave to be on my own quite a bit #if it sucks hit da bricks etc etc #makes me sad bc i do love these people quite a lot but something here is just really very bad for my head
