okay so I just backread the entire twst x mh AU you made and first off O U G H!!!! THEY'RE SO PRETTY!!!!!!!!! All of the designs you made are absolutely phenominal, Deuce and Ace are so silly and funky and I want to throw them around like squeaky toys

and second, since there's been a bunch of Yuu Thoughts being thrown around I thought why not, let's throw my own hat into that ring: what if Yuu's kinda like. Danny Phantom. They were a regular human but then Died But Got Better Sorta, and now they kinda exist in a way that really shouldn't work yet somehow does. Idia takes one look at them and just Squints but is too socially anxious to actually approach them about it

And what if Idia was supposed to be the one to take Yuu's soul to the afterlife or whatever place they're supposed to go but he forgot/did a terrible job and now everytime they cross paths on the hallways he's a ball of nerves because no one can hear about this, ever. He'll be disowned from the family business or something! (He probably won't) He'd look at Yuu and think, every single time "right I'm supposed to do something about this asap" but never does. The cycle repeats the next day.

On the other hand, it would be funny if Yuu was a lost soul and be followed around by other students related to this theme of afterlife such as Ace and Vil (unexpected duo), like

Design notes:

And the electrified pool incident continues (ik electric eels are of fresh water and not the ocean, but I already drew it. So. I have no canonical explanation for that I did it for the joke)

Taking a second look I'm starting to think their outfits are too simple, but first and foremost I wanted to do something fun for the looks of their primary features. I took inspiration from Luca (probably one of my favorite movies ever so I couldn't help but reference it here too lol) for the eye catching merform designs! Considering they're canonically sea monsters anyway, I didn't want to just insert their og designs here, so in this au they're more like in between their og merforms and human forms, also with their color pallettes are more similar to what flotsam and jetsam looked like in the little mermaid movie imo I wanted them to essentially wear the same thing despite the contrasting personalities, and technically most of the time they're walking around the school they're simultaneously working for Azul, looking for students to make deals with happens in this universe too (fortunately for them and unfortunatelyfor others), so an outfit more inclined to formal would be ideal to cause a good impression on their business, or as good as they can make it anyway. Nobody can contain Floyd though, if he has to wear an uniform he is going to stylize it.

Keeping it short this time, I don't wanna keep it on my drafts to add more notes later and postpone this more than I already have 💀 if I remember more facts about the AU twins I'll share them later!

Also, I was thinking of making a tag for asks related to this AU and I think I'll name it #.phantom asks to follow the AU theme lol but now I have to edit previous asks to insert this tag so wish me luck

Are you still doing the monster high x twst au? I’ve been trying to reconnect with older accounts and not just wait for tumblr to give me your stuff since tumblr is a butt lol

I love your art so much. It’s ao unique and your ideas for the AU were amazing! I was so excited to see what you would do with some of my other favs! 💜

I'm still doing it I'm just super slow and I overthink about it a lot which only makes my process slower 😭😭 but thank you for following this au!!

[maythearo]

Ever traumatize an oc and give them serious mental issues, only to come up with an art piece for them?

Sad to hear about the tragic backstories, that being said, I am loving the art pieces that follow up

#ask #feelings are conflicted (I say as I stare at art kicking my feet in the air this is so goooodddd)

[maythearo]

Yeah! The g3!! I know it has certainly been a uhhhh controversial topic lol

Imo draculaura looks sooo cute

Certainly lolll

You know how it goes I'm gonna ramble again so I'll put the read more thing for the sake of scrolling past it 😭

Well I'll start off by saying that, in this era of reboots and mass adaptations of every mildly old franchsie ever, is kinda impossible to avoid negative reactions from the people who were fans of the first generation of such franchises, because it happens, when someone takes something you grew up with and changes it to a modern audience most people's reaction will be "what in the world that's not how it was back in my days" + the phenomenon of older generations not liking the stuff that comes all for younger generations and etc. And I mention all of this bcs this definetely affects how people's opinions on things such as design (of MH in this case) go, there's lots of strong biases in this conversation of reboots and all

And tbh I wasn't immune to that 💀 at first I didn't like a lot of small decisions they made because I was used to the old one and "the og's always better" type of opinion, monster high was a big part of my childhood and probably a big boost to my interest in art! Which is what I live for baisically nowadays so ofc I felt strongly about it 😭 but when I came back after some time I realized, hey it's not that serious. I don't even remember specifically what those things I criticized were about, so that's an indicator of how much I actually cared, deep down lol. Like, pink Lagoona did not kill me, can you believe that? /s.

My opinion as of now, is that I think the g3 designs are really cute on their own!! I'm gonna stop myself from comparing it to the first gen because for the most part that's a waste of time and also a huge tangent from where I want to get 😭 recent reboots are a product of this era and they adapt accordingly. Sometimes they hit sometimes they miss, I think g3 mh is going well mostly!

(Talking about the concept designs and doll designs in this part) g3 takes from general modern fashion, clothing-wise the characters are not draaastically different from each other, they all just dress like how teenagers nowadays do but each got their own little motifs to their wardrobes. I don't think this "lack of difference" between each other's outfits is an enormous one nor is it inherently a bad thing because hey, if it looks good it looks good, and you can distinguish their clothings between one another just fine imo. In some cases I got some nickpicking in terms of "the pattern of this shirt is not working with these pants" or "whoa there's a lot going on with these colors" or "they really love to put bright pink lipstick on everyone huh" but it's rarely something I heavily dislike (only cases I can remember are that I wasn't a fan of was Heath 💀 feels like halfway through the process of his design mattel said "no you can stop now he's good like that" nothing is happening with that look, it's crazy, what happened to my boy. And Twyla, that wasn't as bad a s Heath's, but it just didn't work for me)

I can't say anything about the quality of the material of the dolls themselves bcs I don't have any of the new ones but oh my god, I also think Draculaura is adorable 😫 I think Venus dropped too recently and I'd buy her for sure!! The braided hair is everything and her fashion sense is probably one of my favorites so far? I also love Abbey's doll, and Frankie too especially that one line that they got a guitar? Instrument? Rockstar theme I think? (I'd cosplay that, no joke) from what I can see the designs are putting a lot more variety on drawing and sculpting different body types, features and details on the dolls and I think that's super fucking awesome! G1 also experimented with facial features and details on the body every once in a while but not as nicely done as now!

For the animated series I understand they had to tone it down to some extent because inserting all details the dolls and concept art had could lead to technical trouble (I think), so it isn't fair to compare them to one another. I'm just gonna ignore the animated series in terms of design for now, cause it's in the dolls and in illustration that a franchise like monster high work best anyway. I don't think much abt the cartoon tbh and I'm also not up to most episodes, idk who else dropped recently. But honorable mention, in the standards of the animated series my favorite designs are Deuce and Medusa for sure

That's long enough of a post so I'm gonna stop right hereeee, this was more of an overview of the g3 as a whole rather than ratings of each character, but yeah! I'm no longer a hater, I'm ok 👍 (if you're one of the people who heard me extensively complain over g3 before in another social, honestly I don't even know what it could have been about but you know what, disconsider it, it's easier that way 😭) I may have more opinions about it but that's all I could remember for now. Also my brain is fried.

And I can always change my mind on this, so there's that! Someone get me a Venus and Frankie doll rn please and thank you

I say artists support artists, keep doing what you love, that's the most important thing!!

And maaan idk that's a difficult question, I stared at those designs for so long by now I don't even know, my favorite so far miiiight be Epel? I got to put them on a lineup once I post the twins so I can think better about it 😭

#🦦 anon #.phantom asks

[maythearo]

May, what are ur thoughts on the mh redesigns??? Idk if you’re ever answered this, and I’m sorry if you have, but I’m genuinely curious, since I like your designs sm!!!!

You mean the recent g3 monster high stuff? If so, I don't think I posted anything about it in here yet 😭

#ask #I rambled somewhere else about it a long time ago but honestly I changed my opinions about a lot of things ever since so

[maythearo]

I'M SO SORRY IF IM BOTHERING U WITH HOW MUCH IM SENDING ASKS IM JUST SO NERVOUS, BUT I POSTED THE THINGS AND YEAH.

I GET SO NERVOUS WHEN POSTING MY ART OR MYSELF AND I CANT HELP BUT TALK ALOT TO COPE.

IN THIS CASE TYPE ALOT

SORRY 🙏🙏🙏

—🦦

LOL DW, I know how it is, to post new stuff can be nerve-wracking esp when you're on a new acc and stuff, I've been there (I still get some sort of social media anxiety at times lol) but hey, your art is great! If thinking of posting them more in the future speaks to you, then go for it, it's more about getting used to doing so in the very beggining, but you'll eventually get the hang of it 💪

#🦦 anon #ask

[maythearo]

AAAH THEY'RE SO CUTE!!! Also what are you talking about, they're super good 😫💕

You keep up with the lovely work! I wouldn't want you to feel pressured to just draw my designs or anything like that of course, do what you feel like, I bet whatever you draw is gonna turn out awesome anyway 💪💪💪

I wonder who I could be... (🦦🦦🦦)

I'm so sorry that these aren't very good 💔

I haven't done art in quite a while..

If you'd like I can draw more of your characters?

AHHHHHHH

OH MY GOODNESS

I just realized why we are so confused.

When I said 'someone may or may not have done drawings for your au' I was talking about myself, I'm so sorry I wasn't clearer.

Anyways Ive done drawings for your au of deuce and ace.

I'm so sorry again.

No need to apologize!! For real the misunderstanding was on me cause I jumped to crazy conclusions, anyway it's always nice to have you here on the askbox lollll

#🦦 anon #ask

[maythearo]

WOAH—

I'm sorry, Im not sure exactly what your reply was to my ask meant, and I can't fully tell if I've done something wrong, so I'm sorry if I have.

I was just letting you know that I've drawn some fanart of mh Ace and mh Deuce for you, I haven't uploaded it anywhere though.

IM SO SORRY IF IVE DONE SOMETHING WRONG..

—🦦

OH MY GODDD I GOT IT WRONG THEN LMAO YOU DID NOTHING WRONG, I APOLOGIZE ANON

I interpreted you were referring to another situation I came across recently and was thinking about (cause u mentioned ace and deuce and that post I was talking about was also coincidentally about them, what are the odds man 💀) so I thought you were vaguely referencing to it as well 😭😭😭😭 nothing that I said had anything to do with you specifically, so please don't worry! I should have asked more about what you meant though, thay's on me KWDNSKDJ

I mean, what I said on that ask still stands in relation to adressing THAT topic but anyway, back to what you actually meant... I'd love to see your art only if you're comfortable with sharing of course!!

#ANON THAT WAS JUST ME BEING STUPID I'M SO SORRY #you said something I interpreted as another thing completely unrelated I'm going crazy #🦦 anon #AND I BET YOUR ART IS LOVELY ANYWAYY #so ignore what I said back then 😭
