Hmmm, that's a difficult one...I really liked Fright On! (it is probably one of my favorites), Skull Shores is also one of my favorites, same with Why do Ghouls Fall in Love, I like Ghoul's Rule (I love the way they show Heath and Abbey's relationship), then Frights Camera Action, followed by 13 Wishes, then Scaris: City of Frights/the short film that came with it, New Ghoul @ School, and Friday Night Frights. But I like them all...and watch them frequently enough to annoy all my friends and family But I'm really looking forward to the Freaky Fusion film (I hope that the movie is a bit longer and the story is not so rushed), and hopefully a release to DVD of Fright On!, Skull Shores, and Scaris.
What about you, what are your favorite monster high films?

Another difficult question...umm, again, I don't really dislike any of them, but my favorite was probably season two (as it had the most continuity and character growth), then followed by season three and four (they're tied right now for me, as season four doesn't have all that many episodes out quite yet), and lastly, season one.  What is your favorite season?

KailynDickasonArt In reply to tayba [2014-04-02 01:34:36 +0000 UTC]

I like all of them too, but Mmy favorite was season two for the same reason I liked season one too, but it was kinda eh until it got to really making the characters themselves.

tayba In reply to KailynDickasonArt [2014-04-02 08:57:57 +0000 UTC]

Yah, but after all, season one was what got me interested in the dolls and the fandom in general.
I just hope for this upcoming season they have a better sense of continuity within itself (and the rest of the movies, seasons, diaries, books, and comics), and they continue to develop their already established characters (and the new ones they'll be adding too).
While I love monster high, I feel like they dropped the ball on some things that could have been continued (such as when Frankie told Jackson and Holt, that she would only date them after they figured out what was going on between them - them being Holt and Jackson). I'd love to know what became of that. Where do Clair and Andy Beast fit into all of this? How is Abbey dealing with all of Heath's skirt chasing? What was Spectra's big secret, which only Ghoulia was aware of (from Basic Spectra's diary entry)?
But, I guess that's what keeps me coming back and it leaves it open to plenty of headcannons.
Any questions you would like covered in the next season/movie/written material?

Hehe I was interested in the dolls first I thought they were really cute >.<  
They definitely did drop the ball on some things! I really want them to get to the Holt/Jackson thing too! I kinda want them to go over the whole Clawed and Cleo thing if they have the time, and definitely the Abbey Heath situation. Also its not a question I want answered or anything, but I'd really like more of InvisBilly and Scarah in the next season. They're too cute

tayba In reply to KailynDickasonArt [2014-04-03 07:38:29 +0000 UTC]

It would be really cool if they went over what happened to Clawd and Cleo (they would have Cupid sneaking around in the background). It would be amazing if they would animate what happens in the diaries/journals (they have so much material there).
I never thought I would like InvisiBilly and Scarah together (I always thought he would go well with Spectra), but after I saw them together in the episodes (and learned more about Scarah and her adorable Irish accent - I had missed that the first time), I totally ship them now They are so cute :3
When the dolls first came out, I was really back and forth on wether to buy them, but luckily I got some for Christmas, and four years later I'm staying up late making a toga for Heath Do you collect the dolls?

tayba In reply to KailynDickasonArt [2014-04-06 07:52:52 +0000 UTC]

I have warmed up to it I just thought it was strange that they had changed his art so much (I wonder if they will change his appearance to match it in the webisodes?)
Unfortunately, I don't have room to display my dolls (unless I'm working on something that concerns them, they are all individually wrapped in tissue and in storage, in a lovingly in a cardboard box as something could be stored...in a cardboard box...). Buuut, after I get my Abbey out, I'm definitely taking photos >:3 Mwahaahaha
Drat, only if you could go back in time (have you looked into maybe getting the signature series: Frankie, Draculaura, and Clawdeen?)
I sold my soul on Ebay to get my Jackson @.@ All because I once picked him up from the shelf and was like "He's a bit overpriced, I'll wait for a sale..." REGRET, as that was the only time I saw him. I hope you find the Picnic Casket version (Frankie and Jackson look so cute in their coordinating clothes :3 )...it's a shame that is just a target exclusive D:
Yep, I have to still upload the finished pictures of him, but I have pictures of streaking Hoodude uploaded currently tayba.deviantart.com/gallery/?… 
If I was to display my dolls, it would be on a bookshelf, with tiers, so I could fit as many in there as possible...then I would probably set them up: HHB and Nightmare, Jackson, Frankie, Holt, Hoodude, CAM Vampire, Elissabat, Draculaura, Clawd, Clawdeen, Clawdia, Howleen, Twyla, CAM Werewolf, Freshwater Lagoona, Lagoona, Gil, CAM Sea monster and Siren, CAM Mummy, Nefera, Cleo, Deuce, Viperine, CAM Gorgon (I imagine that she's the daughter of Euryale), Ghoulia, Spectra, CAM Blob and Ice girl, Abbey, Heath - he'd probably be wearing the toga, Scarah, CAM 3-eyed girl, CAM Witch, CAM Bee, CAM Harpy, CAM Vampire boy-will be Valentine, C.A. Cupid, Operreta, Purrsephone, Toralei, Mewlody, CAM Werecat, CAM Gargoyle boy-will be Garrott, Rochelle, Robecca, Venus, Catrine Demew, CAM Dragon, Jinafire, Skelita, Gigi and Catty Noir, CAM Werecat, Jane Boolittle and Honey...ooor something like that. How do you display yours?
I'm so happy for you I'm surprised you don't have a Scarah in your collection yet (as you were saying that she is one half of your OTP ): ). The Sweet Screams, Fairy tale themed, and superhero dolls are so cool looking @.@
Awwh, I hope your able to find your Clawdia, 13 wishes (that was a cute line, all their deluxe boxed characters were so beautiful), and Clawd (another boy I had to sell whatever was left of my soul to get) - which version of him do you want to get?
Ummm, nope I haven't *knocks on wood.* Some of the arm joints on my dolls may be a tad bit loose or stiff, but that's the only problem I've had with them (although when working on Toga Heath, I noticed his right upper arm is instead an upper left arm - it's not a big deal, but I was wondering why his elbow looked off). Why, was some of your dolls like that? I mean, most of the girl dolls have slightly bendy-ish fingers (especially Gigi and Skelita, who have long, thin fingers).

KailynDickasonArt In reply to tayba [2014-04-06 19:12:53 +0000 UTC]

Yeah it was kinda strange especially considering they didn't really change much of the others drastically in their art :/
Aww At least they're all nice and snug and safe in the box C: Oh gosh that sounds so cute! You should post em here! Is the signature series different from first wave?? Oh Gosh I'm sure you did. He is CRAZY expensive, especially online , and that's also the reason why I didn't buy him in stores. If only lol.  Awww That sounds like a really cute way to display them  I display mine on Shelves on the wall :> And I have some on the top of my bookcase haha. Its pretty crowded D'aww thanks cx Yeah I forgot to put I've been wanting her pretty bad but shes been warming the shelves for some time at our toys r us and Im really really hoping theyll be putting her on sale soon Yeeess they are! I wasnt super in to the Frankie one though the Threaderella? What did you think of it?  I'd be good with whatever version of Clawd I think all of his variants are cute Yeah some of my arm joints have been too lose/ to stiff as well My Toraleis forearm came out of the package pretty much falling off. :T Aw Poor Heath weird question, but  Does he have bendable ankles? And yeah, Ive noticed that Honey, Jane, and Catty Noir have really thin, easy to bend fingers. I dunno. Do you ever have problems with their hair too? Ive been noticing the ones that are made in Indonesia have a ton of hair glue all over their face, and that the hair has too much product in it, and is less soft than the ones made in China.

tayba In reply to KailynDickasonArt [2014-04-07 08:21:57 +0000 UTC]

Maybe they'll update his look in the new episodes?
Yes, they are pretty snug and safe; all I have to worry about is keeping the curly haired/complicated hair-do galls on the top so their hair doesn't get flattened.
I'll probably take pictures of Heath tomorrow, and either have the pictures up Monday or Tuesday
The signature series/original favorites dolls look exactly like their older counterparts, except I think Clawdeen's hands have been appropriately updated to her clawed ones, and they are not elastic strung (I believe they come with stands, a copy of their original diary, and their pet too). The only downside is stores only carry them online...I think
Ahww, even if its crowded, they're all up in the fresh air, and staring at you all the time (just kidding about that last part, I'm sure it's nice having them out so you can stare at their beauty 24/7). The biggest drawback to having them in storage is when I'm trying to draw a specific character, I never remember their specific details and usually that character is on one of the bottom layers D:
Ugh, doll regrets...
I haven't really run into any Monster High dolls that I dislike, but out of the three fairytale themed ghouls, she may have been...my second favorite? after Draculaura's Snow Bite (is that her name?). But they are all a creative, and cute line
Yah, Clawd is a little cutie :3
Agh, did you ever locate the wayward arm, and were you able to reattach it?
Yep, all the boys have da' bendy ankles (which makes posing fun). I almost wish the girls had joints at the ankles, but then again that would make putting on shoes kind of difficult...
Messing with my CAM Vampire boy, he also has bendy fingers, although my Gil does not.
YES!!! >.< Doll hair...it almost makes me want them all to have straight hair, so I wouldn't have to worry about their beautiful curls getting ruined, and the accursed BOX HAIR  Catty Noir was a big problem when she came out of the box. I think I spent an hour trying to gently comb out her hair without ruining my comb. I haven't learned/dared to try boiling/perming their hair, so I just put their hair in renolds wrap, roll it up, and put them in storage for several months, and hope it comes out well (it's always an interesting surprise when I unwrap them ). 
The only other dolls that come to mind in difficult hair (besides the CAM wigs, which is another subject on its own), is Clawdia (my poor ghoul's hair had some messy curls, but I've tamed most of it  ), I'm afraid to touch Jane's lovely hair because it looks like it will just poof out into a monster of a floofy fuzzy mess (but it's so soft :3),  my Operreta's victory hair curl that hold her mask looks like it wants to unravel on the top half (so I have to shove - delicately - the uncurled parts into the still curled parts), and her hair is more wavy than it is curly in the back (but that could be remedied by curling it), my Lagoona's and Clawdeen's hair also has also lost most of it's curls (so I need to re-curl theirs as well). My Scarah's hair wasn't very curled, so I have been trying to curl it similar to her original/SDCC doll (sans the bang curl, I decided to keep the side-swept look, and I'm using a light green packaging ribbon as a hair band too...) Also my Cupid's hair was a mess when I got her (the only reason why she was the only one left), so I have been experimenting with trying to curl her hair similar to CGI likeness - which is so cute :3 ), but they don't stay as tight as I'd like them. Actually, this is one of the only reasons I like the glue on the curls - if it hasn't leaked all over their face - because the keep the curls nice-ish. I've been pretty lucky with not having too much glue on the doll's faces *knocks on wood,* if I've ever had glue on their face, it usually comes off with a bit of water and gentle scrubbing Why, have you had some bad hair experiences and glue headed dolls yourself? Oh, and the other problem I have with my Cleo, Clawdeen, and Frankie is their hair is GREASY. I have no idea what caused it, but it makes it look like they haven't taken a shower in weeks...

I hope so Itd be kinda weird if they didnt seeing as how he was updated in the art and all
Yeah it would make it hard to put shoes if the girls had bendy feet on but you could pose em in lots of cute ways
CUte! Im excited to see what you've done with his toga and sandals!
Its still kind hard keeping their hair nice while theyre out of the box, but it is kinda nice having em out! Its pretty creepy too though, but at least they arent porcelain dolls. Those are terrifying. I think youre right that the signature series is only out online I still may have to look into it Draculauras design was pretty tempting
I did reattach the arm! Its still loose and it wont bend at all so Im not sure if I should just glue it or what? I dont want to but oh well. Ugh the box hair is THE WORST. My Catty Noir also had bad hair, and I did the same. It came out really well though
  The Reynolds wrap sounds like a great idea! Does it normally come out ok?
I always have problems with my CLawdia dolls hair Its either  too messy or super thin I dont even know what to do about it :I
Dont touch Janes hair! I have Scaris Ghoulia, her hair is super similar to Janes, its soft and in the ponytail and it completely frizzed out when I brushed hers out I have had some pretty bad hair and glue experiences haha. Do the dolls you have with greasy hair have product in them? I have a few dolls with Greasy hair too, and Ive noticed theres some sort of hair wax in their hair.

Yes, it would be (as you can see from my pictures of Heath in a Toga: tayba.deviantart.com#/art/Heat… , I did quite a bit of posing with them feet).
Oh, I put up Hoodude's updated pictures as well tayba.deviantart.com#/art/Hood…
They need some magic hair which stays absolutely perfect and is immune to box hair!
My biggest doll scares are baby dolls with inset eyes, and most large dolls in general.
Signature Draculaura is personally one of my favorite versions of her - if you don't mind her short skirt.
Oh yay, I'm glad you were able to reattach it Nooo don't glue it D,: Mattel might have a replacement forearm for her...maybe?
I'm glad your Catty Noir turned out well
Usually it comes out pretty good (although the curls are not super tight, and it takes awhile to do...the results are pretty good :3 ). They only major problem I've had is when a curl gets moved weirdly or smooshed when they're in storage, but it's easy to fix - just recurl and back into storage for another month or so.
Agh, I wonder how you would fix that....
I just finished looking at the Toy Box Philosopher's review of Jane, and she said to leave it alone too, that I will dooo.
I dunno what's in their hair, but it's enough to leak through several layers of tissue paper, but it wipes off their vinyl and plastic just fine. ...hmm, I'm not sure if it is wax, but whatever it is, I definitely want to try and fix it.

Oh gosh the updated Hoodude photos are cute too! Does he have a wire skeleton in him?
Yeah they do! One can always dream haha
 Ugh most baby dolls in general are creepy Lol you wouldn't like most of my art then Most of my art is big dolls But the ones you get in stores to me are horrifying too. We used to have a child sized one that was 4 ft and that thing was Creepy :I
I dont mind her short skirt all that much do you?
Maybe I cant tell what part is bad though the joining area or the part that hooks into it.
How do you re curl the hair? Im too scared to use a curler :/
This is a weird question but does their hair smell weird? The ones that have the hair that leak through the paper?

Thank you so much! :3 I'm glad you like them. Heath's goof-off personality was pretty fun to try and capture (and thank you once more for the favorite on him ).
Hoodude does have a wire skeleton (I used two pipe cleaners, twisted together, for each of his arms, legs, and his head, and they meet all together in his torso).  
If only
The only baby dolls that I didn't mind, were the water-babies (the rubber, hollow babies you would fill with water in order for them to "jiggle like a real baby"). I had a boy and girl jumpsuit wearing twins that had the cutest face sculpts.
Agck!! No!! I'm sorry, I did not mean to offend you D: Not all large dolls are creepy - it is mostly the buggy-eyed, inset and wonky-eyed dolls, with the "I know your deepest secrets" or "I got off my shelf, went out your door, so I could deliberately watch you sleep through your window" smile. How, odd my Grandma had a doll about that size (that she assumed all her granddaughters wanted to play with, but we DID NOT), and it had buggy, blue/white, wonky eyes, one of those creeper smiles, and a matted, curly haired wig that falls off to reveal its sparsely - mostly bald head (it was like that doll spider off of Toy Story). 
Nope, I honestly do not mind short skirts (especially on dolls. I mean what are they going to show...plaSTIC?! "oh, dear!" ). I just brought it up, because it is an unfortunate backlash that commonly is attached to Basic Clawdeen and Draculaura...despite them both being lovely dolls :shakehead:
I would definitley not use a curler (if you're talking about putting their hair around a heated one). I take a piece of Reynold's wrap, fold it around the piece of hair I would like to curl, flattening the Reynold's wrap - so it resembles a silver rectangle. For a tighter curl, I wrap the piece of R.W. around a toothpick, and for a looser curl, I use a pencil. I then store them - so I guess that they duration and the cool to warm temperatures in our storage area causes the hair to stay that way. Soo, I'm kind of looking for another way to curl my dolls hair I had seen a really cool perm on a Lagoona on tumblr that I would like to try on some of CAM's.
I don't think they smell - I don't have one out of storage currently - but, I don't remember them smelling. Why, do you have any that did that? O.O

No problem! No need to thank me for all the favorites I thought so! Thats neat! You did a really good job with that! Oh gosh yeah, the water babies were super cute They do have sweet faces, and a  lot of the time they have really cute little clothes too.  And don't worry you didn't offend me :3 Ugh D: Our creepy lifesize doll had the wig that fell off too what even.   Yeah me neither! Its insane what people can get so irrated about with toys. Did you hear about when everyone was mad about when people got upset because Clawdeens bio said she shaved her legs? Its a toy really? And now people are saying that the line of dolls in general are related to the illuminati? What? I've given up trying to understand :T  
 (Yeah I was talking about the heated curler ) Thats smart! Do the curls come out good normally? And yeah Ive seen a Scarah with a perm, and that sounds like it'd be so cute on Lagoona! The permed monster highs in general are just so cute And yeah all my dolls with the greasy looking wigs hair smelled weird when I first got them out of the box :/ It doesnt smell like it anymore but it was weird :I

Yes, my little water-babies came with matching jumpsuits, a carrying case thing you could strap around yourself, a little bear for the boy, and doll for the girl, and a pair of booties for each of them (these little boogers kept popping up everywhere, it was like there was an infinite void in the room that kept producing baby-sized checkered booties ). Did you ever have any water-babies, or any item that kept popping up everwhere like there was an infinite amount of them??
Okay, phew...sometimes it's hard to read and indicate someone's tone in these new-fangled instant messaging thingies).
Why?! Why? Why does the wig come off? :< It just adds to the creepiness.
No, I hadn't heard about that fiasco. Seriously? How can someone get angry at a doll for shaving her legs (I mean most women are expected to do it - and at that age too). Plus, I thought it was clever, it gave an excuse to make the werewolves mostly out of plastic (instead of having them completely flocked...that would be interesting: Clawdeen's Bathroom Set - Comes with Unshaven Clawdeen, collect the whole unshaven wolf family!! It could regrow like a chia pet O.O ). Plus, it was a reasonable problem I could see werewolves having.
I started reading one of those illuminati articles, but I couldn't finish it as it was too long and repetitive - but I found it humorous (what do they get out of bashing a doll line?). One of my sister's friends/acquaintances believe in the illuminati - I told her she should bring Frankie Stein and Hoodude to school with her >mwahaha!
I've given up trying to understand too (I can only imagine what they think of the "heathen," "devil worshipers" who collect Monster High ).
I would not advise putting their hair near anything super hot - as it will melt their hair into a stinky puddle of goo, which will have you wishing for box hair. Oh, thank you :3 Usually the curls come out just fine - unless one of the wraps got smooshed, then it will sometimes get an odd curl, or if too much hair is in one curler (one strand of my Cupid's hair refuses to curl though. ugh ). And if they don't it's a pretty easy fix, you just repeat the steps and wait...again...for several months...
That sounds adorable :3 I think Scarah could definitely rock the perm.
I don't remember if they smelled when I removed them from the box...this is an odd conundrum.
By the way, do you have trouble keeping your Catty on her saddle stand?

Haha oh gosh I bet that was fun having them spawn on you  like that XD Barbie shoes were probably my indefinite spawn item XP I agree with ya on the tone sometimes its hard to get what one is thinking without actually being able to hear how they say it :T And sometimes im worried what I say comes off not good too ya know?'
If they sold shaving Clawdeen with re growable hair I am sure there would be a bigger up roar XD Have you heard about the shaving baby doll? Its disturbing on so many levels. I think itd be a reasonable problem too, and it just shows how much heart and thought they put into the dolls  
I thought the article was pretty funny too, its so silly someone would have the time to scrutinize something meant for children and turn it in a direction like that. Like what even. Come on And LOL she so should bring them to school Im sure she would be totally freaked out because of the Hivemind that they have going on XDDD
Have you heard about the Skelita thing too? People dont want thir kids playing with her because she looks anorexic.....Duhhhh cuz shes a skeleton :I 

Yeah Im too scared to do that anyway XD Ive heard about people who do that to cosplay wigs and it messes em up bad :/  (DO you cosplay?) Maybe I should try that Viperines curls in the back have been totally boxed :I
She did!  
Unfortunately I do :I Its such a bother but then again, the normal stands are kind of hard to use on tailed dolls :/   (Also I found Picnic Casket and Scarah Screams BOGO today I now have a Jackson! )

Hahaha, we had several gold and silver bowed Barbie shoes, but it seemed like there was a multitude of them O.O
Yup, I know how you feel
"Roar" accidentally puny?? Pffft, hahahhaha a shaving baby doll, hahhahahah Why would a child need to hahaha shave hahaha. Maybe an older girl? But a baby...whyyyyy? It would make a great white elephant gift. Is it the "you can shave the baby," it looks like the child of a troll; monster high, take notes for a future child of a troll XD . Monster High does seem to put so much thought in their dolls, the only little, itty-bitty, problem I have is Jinafire (who is absolutely beautiful by the way), who is a Chinese dragon -  which traditionally breathes water jets - not fire (buuut it's any easy mistake, and she looks pretty awsome in flames).
I started telling my mother about the crazy people who criticize such dolls, and look so deep into silly little things, theeeeen she points out how crazy I get about scrutinizing things about Monster High (relationships, headcannons), hahahaha, she has a point
I would love to have my sister pull that prank, but there is no way I'm trusting her to take care of my Frankie and Hoodude D: (she throws her backpack around...I can just imagine Frankie's eye paint just being scratched off ).  
Ohmigosh, poor Skelita. While every over protective parent was complaining about seeing her bones, I was ooing and awing over her lovely sculpt - I mean - little tiny bones, all over, they didn't stop at the limbs they did the TORSO aifgkahdkfjh!!! Oh darn, I looked at a skeleton doll, I feel like completely starving myself now >:I I'd better not take an anatomy class, because I would want to look like the skeleton dumby they have propped in the corner. Oooh so sexy... pfftt. Anorexia is scary (to see people that skinny, noooo eat some food, you poor person, let me feed yooou!!! Have a brownie? Cake? Deep fried twinkies??), it is clear that Skelita is a lovely SKELETON. And if she was a skinny doll (monster high and barbie are both "out of proportion" and "skinny" when compared to a real person), does it really matter? She is obviously a stylized, plastic toy which is not supposed to be "average" and "realistic." Pluuus, making a doll skinny makes cost production less - less plastic, also it makes the clothes cost less to make -less cloth-, and they slide off easier when changing. Sorry for that little spiel. Ugh, I just...she's so pretty :3
I can only imagine ruining a super expensive wig by curling it (I think I would crawl into the fetal position and cry). I live to dress up for halloween (last year I dressed up as one of those Venetian Masked Carnival Go-ers; made up of a bunch of older halloween costumes I put together), my friends all cosplay and have tried to get me into it (it looks really fun, buuuut most of my money is going towards monster high or straight to the bank). They want me to go cosplaying as Aradia from Homestuck, but I have only read up to chapter two, so far. However, if I was to cosplay as anyone it would be either Abbey Bominable (I'd want to be her sooo bad), or Helga Sinclair (from Disney's Atlantis - she's so cool *.* ). Do you cosplay??? Oooh, and as what? Or, what do you wish to cosplay in the future?
Aww, poor Viperine (but talking about cool body molds, her's is so detailed and beautiful, I thought it would be exactly like Jinafire, but it was different :faints: <--- out of amazement ).
I think Jinafire is one of the hardest girls with a tail to try and pose with her stand, but the werecats are also difficult to pose with their stands. OH WOW!!! I'm so happy for you How's you Jackson's, Frankie's, and Scarah's hair?? Are they as cute as their promo? What do you think of Scara's sixties styled outfits?
I also have some doll news of my own - my Moby Dick: Slo Mo has been found!! Actually my mother found him at Toys'r'us and drove the three hours there and back to pick him as a birthday gift (I only found out, because she accidently left him out - soo I have to wait for mid-june, but still: DOLL VICTORIES ALL AROUND!! ).

Yess! And those basic pink shoes for Barbie too Seemed like we had billions  
I know right? I thought it was so funny! It would be an AWESOME white elephant gift, the receiving end would be SO confused haha!  Oh wow, she does look great in flames but that's weird to me theyd miss something that big I'm sure they were probably just working too hard on another and got mixed up? 
 Atleast youre doing the headcanons and such in a positive way and not bashing the series and doll line though haha I do all the same with head canons and ships too
Aghh I totally understand D: Maybe just let her take pictures to school?
Yeeeees! Skelitas adorable! Her little outfits are so well thought out too! D: Its so irritating how people can blow things out of proportion like that.  She was pretty brilliant production wise and her sculpt is so fantastic
I would probably cry too :I Although Ive been finding really good deals on wigs so I wouldnt be too scared to use it on some of them.  That costume sounds really cool!  What all did you wear? ( I totally understand it is pretty expensive :I )
Ahh thatd be cool! Although if you ever do go a Aradia, do human stuck :I The gray paint. No. Just no. Iwent as March Eridan one year and NEVER AGAIN will i gray paint myself.  Abbey would be such a cute cosplay DDDDD Oh gosh Helga is pretty cool too c youd have to do both if you ever get the chance I do cosplay I cosplay as Rin Kagamine (Normal, Meltdown, and Servant of Evil) Karin from Naruto, Roxy Lalonde, Basic Jane, March Eridan, Fem Trickster John  and Trickster Jane I really want to do Fem Trickster Dirk but Im too busy to do another costume  
I thought it would be similar to Jinafires too! Honeys body sculpt is also goregous that detail down her legs is stunning! She looks like she would be hard to pose that tail bends different from Were cats right? 
Theyre so cute Their hair is awesome im so happy and Scara is just ;sxnlwbclidbchbflvbfgjbvjkfb SO ADORABLE. Shes another dream cosplay of mine shes such a cutie pie and her little dress is too sweet! Though her basic outfits killer too

AHHH THATS SO EXCITING! IM SO EXCITED FOR YOU Your mom sounds so cool to do that! YES DOLL VICtORIES (Happy Super early birthday by the way ) So you said youre reading homestuck and all, what do you think of that?

That present’s going straight on the mantel.

It’s an easy mistake (I mean when you think dragons, flames usually pop in your head), even Disney’s Mushu, breathed fire (but he was such a cute character I didn’t really care :3 ). OH! Maybe that is the reason they are combining Jinafire and Lagoona, so she is a “proper” water breathing dragon (or they just created a cool looking doll combo/sea serpent type creature ).

I’m not sure if my parents see the difference  “Aleta, don’t you have scholarships and a portfolio to work on?” Haha…if only I could write those scholarships about Monster High and fill that portfolio with pure fanart Shipping and head cannoning are so much fun ~

Ohh, maybe I’ll have her put them in her folder, and when they flip across the table she will witness the evil illuminati that is Frankie Stein mwahaha…now if I can only make my sister risk her high school status to carry around monster high doll photos…

Yes, she is If I was rich beyond rich, I would love to buy one of each of the outfits/accessories for each of my dolls.

Congratulations on your finds; it is such a great feeling to find what you want on sale or for a good price.

My costume was pretty last second and was made from items around the house, but I was pleasantly surprised and happy how it turned out. I used a Guinevere hat-thingy as the scarf and to help hold my sister’s gold scarf that I used as the head dress. I then used a mask that I had previously worn at my sister’s sweet sixteen, and used various make-up to cover the rest of my face. For the dress, I used a Princess Leia dress as the base, then glued some fancy looking ribbon to the collar, sleeves, and the bottom of the skirt; I then used some extra lace I had to also trim the sleeves. Then to make it look fancier, I used parts of my steam punk outfit from several years before: the tan skirt, the “corset,” the shoes (which I tied gold and white packaging ribbon to) and the white stockings. The sleeves were off of a bar-maid costume that I had previously borrowed parts from, and I squeezed my hands into some child-sized white gloves. So, for this costume, all I had to buy was the gloves, and some make-up. –I’ll send you a note with a picture.

Yes , my friends have all warned me to not paint myself grey (although if I go as far as cosplaying Abbey Imma paint myself blue). I did have a second-cousin that dressed herself as Karkat, and she painted herself grey (she was washing it out for a week). Boy, if you dressed as March Eridan, you’d have to use a lot of paint. I’d be most worried about it getting all over the place, rather than it taking a long time to come off.

Abbey is my favorite character, and I’d love to really tone my muscles to get her strong yeti look down ~ And Helga is so bad ass – until she died…but she was cool none the less.

I don’t know who that - google search activated – Awwh, she’s so cute, and detailed (did you make her guitar thing too?), wow so detailed O.O You have to send me some pictures. That is so cool (one of my friends is way into naruto). Ooh, Homestuck (I need to get back into reading it again, I took a break to read Jellyfish Princess, and I’m almost done with it, so I can get back to homestuck).  That’s a shame you didn’t get to finish that costume But hopefully you can still do it?

Honey’s body is just, so viney and lovely. I’m almost tempted to paint her vines darker green, but I think I’ll just make a big floofy southern belle dress for her instead (so I won’t mess up the doll ). I bet Venus and Honey share stories on how to take care of their body vines. For Jinafire, her tail does not like to twist around in its socket as easily as the werecats, so sometimes it pops out when you try to twist it around.

I’m so happy that you got good haired dolls. AND SCARAH YAY *angel choir in the background* You should totally dress as her (would you attempt her green skin, and would you wear contacts or paint your eyelids white to look like her eyes?). I’m also tempted to try and make her original outfit (I love her dress, but, like you said her basic outfit is killer).

Yah, I’m pretty lucky (I’m no psychologist, but I think the reason why she goes out of her way to get a toy we want, is in order not to repeat her childhood, in which she never got any of the barbies she wanted so desperately – instead my grandma bought her the cheap imitations – my poor mother ). Oh, thank you for the VERY early birthday wishes Happy early birthday wishes to you too. Happy Unbithday!

My friends talked me into reading homestuck, and I have to admit I really had to struggle through the first chapter (especially because I didn’t notice the pester log button, so I really didn’t know what was going on ). But I’m about half way through chapter two, and it as really gotten me knowing what’s going to happen next

Ahh I'm sure!  
That is true :I Dragons and fire are normally always together haha.  And he was cute! That movie in general is cute  Oh gosh maybe it is That fusion is making a little more sense to me now. Im curious as to who they paired Ghoulia with? Theres a photo of her online and it looked like she was paired with Draculaura but Draculaura and Robecca are being paired so Im not sure whats going on with that. Have you seen the toy fair pictures of them?
Oh man if only you could write and draw fan arts for your papers and portfolio ARe you applying to schools or are you already in college? Im in college but I have to do all my Fafsas and stuff as well D:
Hehe Maybe you could.... Maybeeeee. It may take a lot of bribing though  
Im with you on that Can you imagine having an entire room of Monster high dolls?? DO you folow MonsterMonsterguy on tumblr? Or adventuresinmonsterland? Theyre living the dream  It really is! Ive kinda been hoping I can find some at the thrift stores around here too, but its been a struuggle Do you go thrifting?
Those are always the coolest costumes Its great to utilize what you have already and its less stressful  It sounds really detailed! Id love to see the pictures :3
Oh gosh Im sure she was XD Gray paint is just ughhhhh. Youre a brave brave lady for wanting to paint yourself blue XD Its going to be hard, but for Abbey its worth it  You would have to What would you do about her fangs? Even though Helgas dead shes still cool She was definitely one of Disneys best female characters.
I dont know if there are any pictures of me that I dont have to scan in as Rin but Im pretty sure there are some less than flattering ones of me as March ERidan, Karin and Jane on the interwebs XD Ill note you them as well Ahh you read Princess Jellyfish? Is it not the most precious thing ever??????????
Hopefully I will :3 
Southern Belle dress Honey sounds gorgeous You will so have to do that x3 how would you go about making it? Would you do the tiny hoop skirts?
Ugh that sucks D: Im sorry it pops out Do you ever have problems with the big chopsticks in her hair too? They look like they fall out easy
Me too! I hit the jackpot XD  Yes yes Scarah is so exciting DDD
I may Ill have more time over the summer so I could possibly get to making the original outfit And I dunno Id like to do the Scelera contacts but theyre expensive and can damage your eyes D: Plus I cant see without glasses sooooooooooo theres that too Aw that sucks D: You said it, your poor mom D:
Yeah I had too too, it was soooo boring. It gets way better soon from the chapter youre on And your lucky youre still reading it so you dont have to wit for the updates D': And haha yes a Merry Unbirthday to all

I was first confused by that as well, but turns out (like with most of the movie themed monster high dolls), there are the large boxed exclusives (like Howleen, Freshwater Lagoona, Gigi, and Twyla for 13 Wishes and Elissabat, Viperine, Clawdia, and Honey for Frights Camera Action) , which I assume will be the hybrids: Neighthan, Avea, Bonita, and Sirena (or the actual fused characters: Dracubecca, Lagoonafire, Clawvenus, and Cleolei); and then there are the “budget-y  dolls” (Haunt the Casbah: Spectra, Frankie, Clawdeen, Abbey, Draculaura, and Cleo for 13 Wishes and Cleo, Draculaura, Operreta, Lagoona, and Clawdeen for Frights Camera Action). These dolls: Ghoulia, Frankie, Operreta, and Scarah, are all dressed up as other monsters (their bodies and heads have not been remolded at all like the actually fused characters). So Ghoulia is dressed up like an adorable vampire –most likely wearing removable fangs, Frankie a very tempting to bur werewolf (that curly hair is soo cute) – the ears are probably on a detachable headband and removable fangs, Operreta is dressed as Frankenstein’s monster, and Scarah is dressed as a werecat –she is probably wearing removable ears…and maybe a belt-tail. Hopefully that sheds some  light on these cuties.

I was all over those pictures…and trying to see how much money I’ll have to save to buy the ones I want, and excitedly showing anyone within reach – whether they wanted to see it or not. Put down your homework, look at these photos!!!

I graduated from high school a couple years ago, and have been trying to figure out which college to go to/do with my life…obviously I decided to devote most of it to monster high (I’m sure that won’t come back and haunt me ). But I do need to work on a portfolio, as fanart’s not going to cut it >.< time to work on pieces of art work that have “deep meaning/symbolism,” that take me six months to finish. Whooo. …I wonder how many cupcakes it takes to bribe someone to accept some desperate Habbey fanart???

Blergh, FAFSA, I did fill out, that’s a bunch of fun work.  Do you mind sharing what school you attend, and what major? I’m thinking I want to major in Illustration.

Ooo, no, one of the few Monster High fans that I do not stalk on tumblr, I will add them to my favorites right now. Oh, I looked up the last guy and saw his collection. Quick, I need a burglar uniform, and a shopping basket!! Someday! Someday, when whatever impossibility overthrows Monster High –it can take its time (at least until we get a few more background dolls, I would like my Andy, Gory, Bram, Romulus, Ryder, Dougey, Archer, and Johnny dolls first) - and everyone is selling their collections, then I will finally have such a collection of outfits.

Going to a regular store in my town is like thrift shopping (seriously, our Kmart has not updated its stock since Christmas. CHriSTmaS!) Hahaha, no, usually the closest I get to thrift shopping is when I go garage sale-ing with my mom and siblings a couple of times during the summer. So far, I have not been lucky enough to find any Monster High stuff (but I have been finding a lot of mint Beanie Babies – they were my first loves :3 And lots of other stuff I didn’t know I wanted). I may even pick up a Bratzilla, Novi Star, or Pinkie Cooper if I find her at a garage sale, but sadly nothing so far. So, you haven’t had much luck either?

Yay, I’d love to send you one in a note, but it’s not sending…I guess I’m wearing enough stuff to not be recognized by evil computer peoplez: Tada! Actually, I’m pretty proud that I’ve dropped about 5 lbs since this was taken, ExErCiSe ~   And just for fun, here’s the Minecraft creeper costume I had pulled an all-nighter on the night before for my brother – you can’t see it, but when my brother took a step, the little legs (both in the front and back) would move, so when it was dark enough it looked like a floating, walking creeper.  

Hmmm, I’m sure I’ll come up with something…maybe I can find some of those large glue-on fangs  and put them on my bottom teeth…or something... mostly, I’m just wondering how I’m going to get the correct fabric for her basic dress, would I just buy white fabric, and then use fabric paint? And I would have t work on her accent; whenever I try it, I slip into an unknown dialect/Australian.

Why so all my favorite characters die D: But I guess it doesn’t distract from her awesomeness (maybe I should try her first, as I wouldn’t have to paint myself, or the fabric, or glue fangs in my mouth).

I was so surprised at how adorable it was. I was all prepared to just watch one episode of the anime to understand what my friends were talking about, all of a sudden the anime is over, and I need  to know what happens to the characters, so onto the online manga reading binge.

I would love to do the whole shebang, but she’ll have to be put on the back burner because I’m talking my CAM Vampire Boy – turning Valentine project (I’m currently gluing his boots as I’m typing this)/making basic cloths for my Gil (I’ve got his sandals done, and painted his dance class bag). But I guess I’ll just bunch up the fabric, stick in a bunch of needles, try to sew it so it sticks – but not my finger, and put either a latching metal hoopskirt (I mean how hard will that be ), or a petticoat underneath. But I’d love to do the hoopskirt. When she’s not using it, she can use it as a large lamp shade

It’s not such a big deal, you just have to pop it back in again (although, the force you apply to put it in makes her hair go all over the place). *knocks on wood frantically* nope, her chopstick-y things stay in hair, only because I’ve left the rubber bands holding it in.

Hmmm, that does cause a problem. I guess you could still paint your eyelids white, and make it so it looked like her blank eyes when you blinked/closed your eyes. Yes, my poor mother, she has to use her pent up playing with toys on us

Haha, when you look at it that way, I guess I am pretty lucky (several years ago, I had caught up to the million –trillionth page of Girl Genius, and it is so excruciating to wait what happens next. This type of torture should be outlawed ).

SO hopefully then theyll be cheaper than the other dolls in the big boxes? Im dying to have that Ghoulia ahaha.
Im pretty sure youre right that se is wearing detachable fangs, someone on tumblr was saying she had a mouthpeice of some sort? I wonder how thatll work? Frankie is a cute werewolf! I really like little werecat Scarah too! Such a cutie. I wish they mixed Skelita with someone WHat youre saying about the costumes makies a lot of sense., I bet it was cheaper to just dress them up than it would be to fuse them like they did with the others too.
I do the same thing My mom is so tired of me making her stop to look at all of the dolls but ughhhh I needed to tell someone the second I found out the Invisibilly doll was real! And Wydowna Spyder! I want her sooo bad. I dont really like her outfit though :/ What are your thoughts?
Thats smart! I kinda wish Id had the chance to do the same, but I felt like if I didnt get it over with now I just wouldnt have  gone at all you know? Im not really a school person I just want to make art :/  Im assuming you dont like deep meanings in art? Im not a big fan of it myself, I used to have art classes were people would literally do nasty stuff and then just be like... Yeah it means this... And it just didnt go at all :I  I like the symbolic art though :3  And haha Your Habbey fanart bis cute so probably no cupcakes?
Yess Fafsas are such a nice way to spend a day haha. No I dont mind, I go to ODU And Im majoring in FIne arts.... I havent taken any art classes yet though, Im doing all my prerequisites. So. Boring.  Do you mind sharing where youre thinking of going?
Oops no pictures showed up But congrats on losing 5 pounds  
You could try Spoon flower and make your on fabric for it And you could totes do that with the fangs youre hard core going for the accent, I can never sound good with them so I kinda am lazy about mine >.>
Helga would totally be a great starter cosplay No painting and all, youre right
Yesss! That wa what happend with me toooo! D: They arent making any more anime seasons I heard Only Manga. So saddddddddd. :C
Oh gosh youre busy! OOOO VAlentino cam Vamp boy sounds cute howre you making his shoes?  Im so jelly youre all sorts of good at doll customizing.Oh gosh really? Poor Jinafires hair D: Ohhh opk Thats good Im glad they stay in.
That is a FANGTASTIC idea! I didnt even think of that! OOO  I may have to

Yep (should have mentioned that), if they follow the pattern of the previous dolls, they will be. That Ghoulia’s outfit, it’s so cute :3 Maybe a magnet? Or, a hole in the mouth, so it can slip in and out like an earring (I’m hoping for the former). I need to see close up photos of all the other little darlings :> They’re really making it hard to keep to my rule of one doll: one character D:

They may  have not mixed Skelita with someone, because they’re coming out with Bonita Femur (who –so far – looks like she has a similar/the same body mold – sans the wings-  as Skelita). Oh, but have you seen the pictures of I <3 Accessories Skelita, another adorable one. Yep, otherwise they’d have to make another mold, and maybe another color (have you seen that Clawvenus is literally Venus’ and Clawdeen’s skin color :faints: ).

I know Invisi Billy!! I’m so glad he’s real…ahhh, June –August is going to drain all my extra cash. But I’ll be smiling all the way I couldn’t really tell, but is Invisis Billy built kind of like Spectra (where he has fading limbs and a light blue skin color?). Which Wydowna are you a speaking of:  the prototype, power ghouls, or the upcoming one??? Either way, her six arms, SIX ARMS, aijhfkdjafkjd, so amazing  

I needed a break from school – that AP English class nearly killed me due to sleep deprivation @.@ , and college was a bit of a financial stretch for both my family and me (ironic, I know, just after I mentioned I’d be willing to lay down money for dolls ). Yep, me too. I was a person that doodled all throughout all my other classes, and was mostly interested in anything/everything art related. Agh, again let me try restating that: I was mostly referring to the former thing you mentioned. People putting down da’ nasty stuff and pass it off as art, or when I see a fabulously large canvas, painted completely black…it’s just not my thing. Now, I do like symbolic stuff (Dali for example…although that’s more surrealism…the man that painted “The Kiss”), however, if I was going to go to an art museum, I’d probably go straight to the Rocco, Renaissance, Ancient Grecian and Roman, and Egyptian…I kind of start to lose interest after Cubism…

Haha, I’ll just put one in there just in case they’re thinking of shipping Heath and Jinafire, or Heath and Gigi (darn, why does he have to look so adorable with everyone D: ).

Talking about cute ships, have you watched any of the new episodes (that are in Italian), that have Manny and Iris in them??? Oh, OH, Oh!!! I just read a rumor that “Fright On!” and “Skull Shores” may be released together on DVD in July. Oh, please, oh please, oh please *crosses fingers,* then they’d have to just release Scaris!!!

Ah, pre-reqs…maybe another reason I’ve been avoiding school. Hahaha…I just want to get to the art!!! If it was up to me, math for anyone taking an art major would be paint-by-numbers…unless they want to take the class.

Nope, I don’t mind I’ll probably end up attending a local community college, and then move onto an art school….maybe Rocky Mountain School of Art and Design??? Maybe….I’m still hunting down a college that’s right for me…I don’t really want to move all the way to Colorado.

Oh, major derp moment for me I was going to add them to that post after I finished typing…..clearly my absent mindedness decided to show itself

Okay, if I don’t forget again....drat it is not wanting to load, or go into a note...I'll upload them to Photobucket and give you the link when I do (tomarrow, because I am tired and need to go to bed ).

Oh, and thank you I’m not quite at my target wait but I’m getting there (mostly I just want to prove to my brother that I can d o more push-ups than him. Mwhaahaha).

I might have to go that route too, I tried my accent on my sister… ugh…more practice…but I can do a pretty good Spectra impression Hey, as long as you look the part right?

Oooh, Spoon Flower (I’m going to have to write that down).  

Yep, I’m just going to have to practice her swag.

Ummm, they’re very refined: made of only the finest paper plates, construction paper, paper board, craft paint from Michaels, thread, and paper clips….and lots of glue . I mostly am following MyFroggy’s shoe video, but I’m tweaking it – because they’re boots – and instead of using paperboard (except for the sole and all that heel he wears), I am using the center parts of a paper plate (as they are flat), because they are a bit more flexible than paperboard. I painted the sole part with glossy black paint, then tamed a piece of cardboard to be the arch/front part of the shoe, then another longer, thinner piece around the back of the shoe to make the back part of the heel. I also inserted some small strips of paper plate on either side of his shoe (and then folded them, so they can help hold the little heart things he has on either side of his shoe – I’ll probably make them out of paper clips…maybe) before I added one more piece of paperboard (a bit smaller, but same shape of the sole), to give the inside of the shoe a clean look – and it is easier to slide his foot in). I then covered the perimeter of the paper plate on his shoe in black construction paper, as well as the little folded straps – it looked about the texture of his shoe , and I plan on spraying it with fixative, which will hopefully help it stand a few years. Theeeeen, for the back length of the boot, I cut a semi circle of the inner part of a paper plate, folded it in on itself, and glued while curving it around his leg. I then covered that with construction paper, and folded down the flat top part and cut a little triangle out of each side – I’m waiting to glue this part on, until I sew the red thread on, and add the holes where the black thread laces will go in – and hopefully not rip. Now, I’m gluing the tongue onto the shoes (another semi-circle of paper plate, folded in on itself, glued in a small semi circle, cut off excess – but not the extra flap I left so I can glue it to the shoe!). …and here I thought that this would be the easiest part, so I should start here O.o

Another fun fact about Jinafire, she was originally going to have short green and black hair hanging from her arms and legs in the same area that Lagoona has her fins (to make her look more dragon-ish…now I’m just going to imagine her still having that :3 ).

Ummm, good, aaww :3 You’re too kind, I would say, more creative and hopeful than good, hahaha. I seriously can’t cut a straight line to save my life, or keep glue where I want it D: Nope, it go everywhere…on my shirt, oh look I got some on my – Sock!? …how did it get there? , fingers, on the area I just painted, and now have to repaint C;

I hope it works out for you!! I saw it on a Kittiesmama video…although you wouldn’t need to make your eyes as big as hers though of course.

Girl Genius started out as a confusing, long, slow-ish, steam punk web comic. It turned into (while the art style is definitely “cartoony,” and goes through several coloring styles), an amazing, funny, action –adventure, romantic, steam – punk, sometimes over your head story of a girl named Agatha, who ends up finding out she is a spark (someone who has the capacity to go long “fits” of being an intense inventor/mad scientist), and how she turns the whole kingdom on its head (who is ruled by a strict spark named Wolfenbach?...jeesh I’m bad at names…and his son –next to be ruler, who happens to find Agatha to be his age and attractive). Anyway, if you ever have A LOT, A LOT! of free time on your hands, and enjoy steam punk inventiveness, girl power, and Jeagers (sharp toothed, ultimate fighters, who have to have an amazing hat, and all have an adorable accent), you can try reading this – while in between Homestuck updates . They couple who makes the comic has won several awards for this comic, and update on a regular basis: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Have you read any really good comics/graphic novels/manga/books recently?
Oh, and it is not letting me open up your note D,: But I'm sure the pictures were amazing

Arent they though??? I had the same rule but then I saw the Scaris Ghoulia. And now this Ghoulia. Just ughhh. Maybe you could just buy the extra clothes off ebay instead of the whole doll if ya wanna keep the rule going? Im kinda hoping its a magnet, but if it popped in and out then maybe it wouldnt fall off? Id be worried with the magnet and all that itd pop off.
She does look like she has the same molds... I really like the wings And yessss Clawvenus is so pretty! The skin color is on point gosh. The detail they put into these dolls is so fantastic I cant even!
Im totally going to have to check out the I <3 Accessories Skelita! She sounds so cute already oh gosh
Im really hoping Billy has the fading limbs. Please Mattel let him have fading limbs like Spectra!  
The upcoming one The brown and purple outfit doesnt really go with her black and red color scheme in my opinion. I dunno though
Yeah I understand School is really tough mentally, physically and money wise. And aha dont worry about that I get it. Youll defs need the dolls to make ya happy when ya look at em during rough times in college.
YESSSS. Or people who splatter paint on a canvas, say that 209 mins was too long to make art, and then go out and get a ton of credit for it. I went to an art school during high school, and people would pull those types of stunts all the time. It got to the point where everything but 10 peoples stuff looked exactly alike. It was sooooo stupid. I love Rococo art CUbisms meh. DO you like Pop art?
ANd yessss! If only college classes were a la carte and you could just take art classes. It irritates me how much math and history and stuff you need to major in art haha.
Oh Heath darn you looking cute with everyone That is a problem we must fix!
.....If you end up founding a college can I attend the paint by numbers math class?
I havent! I havent watched any in awhile Ive been soooooooo busy (( Are they going out? Manny and Iris would be pretty cute with each other
Yeah, good colleges are really hard to find. Maybe youll feel different about moving to Colorado after youve done a few classes? I can understand not wanting to move though, thats why Im here. Im too afraid of getting a weird roomate, and I cant support myself on my own haha D:
Ill have to resend em to you on the comments D: Ive been hearing a lot of complaints about das messages lately
Hahaha! Have you ever played ddr or just dance? Im the same way with that and my sisters. Must beat their high scores!  
Ahh cool! I love myfroggys tutorials
Oh wow will you be able to remove his shoes? How will you put the holes in for the black laces? The paperclips would be good for the little heart things Fixavtive would probably help a lot
It sounds like youre doing a ton of hard work on these shoes Youre so motivated Im jelly as all get out! Every time I have free time I just kinda wanna lay around. PPPP  
Wow that would have been so cool! I wish that she had it or that there was a release of her having that at least once
I cant cut a straight line either, its so hard D: Ugh have you ever used jewelry glue? I get it absolutely everywhere. It is sooooo hard to get off. Soooo. Hard. 
I hope it does too Ill have to google it to see how big her eyes are.
That sounds really cute! I love steam punk stuff , so if I get the chance Ill have to read it. And yeah, have you ever read Bad Machinery I think its called? Its about Monsters and girls who find them and the art style is super cute And I really have only been reading Naruto and Watamote manga wise Im not too into manga anymore  Ive been keeping up with Naruto though cuz Ive been reading it for a long time so yeah XD
