#More screen time for Clawdia

Okay so I just finished rewatching Monster High: Frights, Camera, Action!
And I really feel like we should’ve gotten more content with Clawdeen’s older sister. I get it she’s older she doesn’t go to their school so we don’t see her much, but still! The wolf siblings all together? Love to see it.
Like it’s such a missed opportunity not to see that adorable family all together, and all we get is that one picture from 13 wishes, which is cute but definitely not enough for me.
Maybe I just want to see more Clawdia, but she was adorable in the movie and seemed like such a nice big sister, and I could definitely see her being the moderator of the family, especially when her younger siblings would argue (which we know they do a lot).
We probably won’t get any of this from the directions that the monster high universe keeps going in. The first reboot she only had brothers, now this time I don’t think she even has siblings. It’s heartbreaking.
Monster high should give us a cool older sister to look up to. Cleo definitely didn’t like Nefera, but Clawdeen really seemed to miss and admire her sister and was proud of her for following her dream. I just wish we got more of that.

any unpopular opinion about g1
Hm.
Why Do Ghouls Fall In Love made me really pissed with the main ghouls cuz they were all in Clawds asshole about how he was with Draculara when he was doing his BEST and they didn't appreciate that.
Draculara x Clawdeen is a boring ship. Sorry not sorry. She has a boyfriend and there ARE SO MANY GHOULS to ship with Clawdeen. Cmon now. (And it's literally just clawd x draculara but..with Clawdeen :/// the dynamic is boring fr.)
Clawd and Clawdia deserved more screen time. Clawd also should've interacted with Howleen and Clawdia a lot more.
Holts voice is annoying as hell fr
Great Scarier Reef was kind of wack ngl :// sucks that that was the last movie we got for G1. Cuz the fish designs were..okay and the plot itself was okay. It was just my least favorite fr
Clawd should've been in Boo York. I was robbed idc
Speaking of Boo York. I wish Nefera had a different outfit at the end of the movie. She's NEFERA. Why would she wear the same outfit??
Toralei should be with Meowlody and Purrsphone a lot more in the movies, they're like her sisters so? Cmon
That's it so far!!

Cupid Screwed Up: chapter 1
Tumblr media
Summary: What happens when two rivals who chants even be in the same room together get paired up as soul mates for the rest of their lives..one thing they do know is that cupid screwed up.
Pairing: Josh Kiszka/female OC
word count: 2,300
Warnings: Language, Angst, Blood, kinda cringy writing.
this is the first chapter and the longest fic i’ve ever written!! edits will probably be made soon!!
Tumblr media
there are three things you need to know before you read this.
1- C.U.P.I.D is a world renowned matchmaking company, and to actually matter in society you have to be paired with your match…sound familiar?
2- i was not the one who named my cat Clawdia, she named herself. don’t ask questions about it.
and probably the last and most important thing you must know..
3- i. hate. Joshua. Kiszka.
why do i hate him you may ask?
how much time do you have?
Josh Kiszka has been determined to make my life a living hell since the eighth grade, we are rivals in every sense of the word. i got a 100% on a test. he got a 101% (how is that possible..i have no clue. i’m convinced Ms. Harrison had a twisted up crush on him)
i get a date to prom he gets 2
i get sick with the flu, he gets pneumonia and gets hospitalized
the nerve of that motherfucker.
the point is he always has to one up me, and now he’s touring the world with his band great value fleet (greta van fleet but i think my name fits it better) with his two brothers who aren’t much better than him and his youngest brothers best friend, Danny Wagner, who is objectively the best and only tolerable person on that band.
Josh loves to rub his band in my face like the time he-
“TARAAAA OH MY GOD TARA”
i’m snapped out of my thoughts by the shrieking voice that belongs to no other than my roommate maggie. me and maggie have a weird dynamic. by that i mean she annoys the living shit out of me and i hide anywhere i can to avoid speaking to her.
Maggie bounds into my room and jumps on my bed which coincidentally knocks off my colored pencils i was using to color in a sketch i was working on, which i quickly slip into my folder to avoid any teasing from my worse and more obnoxious half.
“Tara i got my match!”
“Let’s hope it’s perscription sedatives” i mumble hardly loud enough that you had to be really listening to hear what i said.
“what?”
“nothing, who is it?”
that question clearly makes her excited because she sits up and slaps her hands on her knees in a child like sense.
“so you know the band greta van fleet?”
i roll my eyes.
“unfortunately”
“well i got paired with Sam Kiszka!!” she practically screams as she shoves her phone into my face with a screen that reads.
Pairing: Sam Kiszka.
great. this is absolutely fabulous. if it wasn’t bad enough having to see their band every time i open any fucking social media app, now i’ll be FORCED to interact with them. why couldn’t she be paired with Danny. he’s nice and calm. sam on the other hand is the equivalent to a drugged up hamster who was just fed three monster drinks.
“that’s so..great” i give her a forced smile and flip my phone over hoping that maybe a notification from C.U.P.I.D was blessing my phones presence.
instead all i got was a message from team snapchat.
I’m 23 years old and probably the only one 23 year old to not have been matched yet, and trust me i’m reminded of it.
at family gatherings “oh you’ll get your match eventually, you’ve always been a late bloomer”
at parties “sorry you can’t come in, only people who’ve gotten matches can”
at the grocery store when people see that i don’t have the gold plated ring on my finger. they refused me my discount for my goldfish. i was really looking forward to eating those.
maggie falls back on my bed and smiles to herself and rests her feet in my lap to which i notice she’s wearing my wool socks, and my grey sweatpants, at least she’s wearing her sweater. wait. nope that’s the sweater she got me for christmas last year. i really need a padlock on my closet. I stand up with my notebook and place it on my cluttered bedside triable before bending down to pick up my colored pencils.
“i invited him and his brothers over tonight” she hums staring up at the ceiling.
i freeze and drop the colored pencils.
“you. what?”
“i invited them over” she repeats as she sits up crossing her legs over one another “really you should thank me, im really the only person you interact with”
“that’s because i’m forced to interact with you mags.” i state before recollecting the colored pencils and placing them in a glass jar by my notebook and turn back to look at her “plus i also have to study for my midterms, you know this.”
“come on you can’t hide from them forever!! i know you left Frakenmuth because of them, but it’s time to make amends”
i huff and shake my head “i didn’t leave because of them, they’re just the reason i never wanted to come back.”
“and look where you are, back at Frankenmuth! see everything happens for a reason”
it’s true i left to pursue a career in digital art, but after that ship sank i had no choice to move back. i moved back when i got offered a internship with an amazing cartoon artist who happened to be only two years older than me. his name is Dylan and for a quarter of my life i had a huge crush on him, and he coincidentally doesn’t have a match either.
i choose to ignore her as my cat, clawdia comes strutting in and rubs her head against my feet. i smile and pick her up cradling her like she was my new born baby, which in a way she was. not the new born part though.
Maggie rolls her eyes and sits up “well they’re coming in two hours so put on something presentable, and try not to embarrass me”
“anything for you, your majesty” i give a dramatic bow as she leaves and closes my door. i look down at Clawdia with my hands on my hips.
“what should i wear, clawdia?”
she however is not much help because all she does is meow before propping her self onto my pillow before drifting off into one of her many naps of the day.
i sit on my bed and stare at my closet, i usually wear the same four articles of clothing everyday, it’s either my mom jeans that make my ass look spectacular or my black leggings, and a long sleeved form fitting V-neck and a state of michigan crew-neck. i’m assuming neither of those things will live up to maggie’s standards but i honestly don’t care. i pull on my faded mom jeans with my crew neck before pulling on warm toned wool socks and my Boston birkenstocks. good enough.
i turn and look at myself in the mirror before shifting my eyes to the messy knot that’s tied up on the top of my head. my hair is what you would describe as in between wavy and curly, never quite one or the other. i grab my brown translucent claw lip before skillfully (or so i like to think) putting it in my hair and pulling a few stray strands out. i settle for some mascara and chapstick before i hear the door open and the sound of four pairs of feet walk into our apartment.
i hear a murmur of greetings as i walk out and my breath catches in my throat when i see him. Josh definitely grew into his unruly hair, with it being once again shaved off at the sides. he always grew some facial hair, which usually is a turn off for me but for him..he definitely makes it work. but all of that doesn’t change the burning hatred i have towards him.
Tara interrupts my train of thought by dragging me over to the boys.
“This is my roommate Tara, Tara this is josh, sam, ja-“
she’s cut off by the cocky voice that sounds exactly identical to his twin brothers. jake motherfucking kiszka. “we’ve met”
jake is a cocky son of a bitch, not as much as his other half, but very very close. he had teamed up with josh in highschool to get me voted out of being prom queen. just because i accidentally broke his pencil.
i give him a tight lipped smile before i turn and see danny’s warm eyes and my face lights up.
“hey bunny” he speaks before giving me a hug
i had gotten that nickname when i refused to dissect a bunny in my freshman year biology class and made Danny do it for me.
i loop my arms around his tires and smile into his chest before mumbling just loud enough so only he could hear “why couldn’t you and sam just have came, why did you have to bring dumb and dumber”
he lets out a quiet laugh before letting go and i turn to look for maggie only to see she was clinging to sams side throwing her head back in laughter to something he said. gross. i pad my way to the couch and much to my distaste josh follows me and sits on the other side of the couch.
“so, tara have you gotten a match yet?”
“Have you”
“That’s not my question”
i roll my eyes and cross my arms. josh has also never been matched, which leaves millions of fan girls to believe they’re his possible match.
before i could respond jake and sam and danny join us
“so tara” sam starts “how’s the- what do you do- coloring?”
“i work as a intern at a illustrators office”
“so coloring” josh smiles smugly and tilts his head
i’m not even going to argue with him. nope. not happening.
instead i slam my cup down on the coffee table and go to my room before slamming the door
sam looks at maggie in confusion “what was that about”
tara sighs and shakes her head “she’s been acting different lately”
josh, being the genius he is pushes himself off the couch “i’ll go check on her”
and he did exactly that. he goes to my room right when i’m pulling down my pants and i’m left in light yellow cotton underwear with the word “wednesday” in light pink writing across the back and my crew neck
“actually it’s saturday bunny”
i scream and quickly pull on cotton shorts to try to preserve as much modesty as i possibly can and turn around as i see him roaming around my room, searching and touching everything like he’s fucking inspector gadget.
“get the hell out of my room Joshua” i say pushing on his chest in an attempt to get him out of the room. this back fires when he pushes me back into a wall and smirks down at me.
“bunny this is why you don’t have a match”
i clench my fists as i look up at him “neither do you dumbass”
he rolls his eyes at that and pinches my chin with his thumb and forefinger and tilts my head up so i can get a perfect view of his eyes.
“but unlike you bunny” he starts “people would pay their lives to fuck me and you..well you probably have to pay a guy to even get close to you”
i don’t remember what happened next, all i remember is my hand colliding across his cheek and my silver ring on my index finger cutting his cheek causing a trickle of blood flowing down his cheek.
i freeze and i’ll never forget that look in his eyes..but i’m not going to get him win. so did something completely stupid and i run my thumb along the trickle of blood and put it between his parted lips and to my surprise he actually starts sucking it, god his lips are so soft.
my cheeks are flushed pink as he pulls away and he smirks “do i make you nervous bunny”
“get. out.”
he throws me a shit eating grin before leaving and slamming the door and that’s when the tears are about to start falling when i hear another knock and i throw the door open
“Josh i said get the-“
but it’s not josh behind the door. it’s Jake. what the hell?
“i uhm-“ he starts “i heard what josh said- and i just wanted to apologize”
i roll my eyes and start closing the door but he puts his hand flat on the door to stop me. “just listen to me Tara- in highschool i was just trying to be cool- i shouldn’t have said those things. you’re not worthless or-“
“jake” i interrupt him “i’m appreciate it but please go, we can talk later okay?”
he sighs and nods before leaving and i turn out my light after closing my door and i plug my phone in when i hear a notification. THE notification. i quickly open my phone and see the notification from cupid
C.U.P.I.D
Hello! you have been successfully paired with your perfect match, you will meet up with your significant other at 7:30 pm december 1st at Honey B’s Eatery. down below is your perfect match.
Maybe it’s a NFL player.
Or a professional chef.
Or maybe-
Oh.
Oh god no.
Pairing: Joshua Kiszka
little did i know that on the other side of Frankenmuth josh was in his bathroom after a particularly messy one night stand, leaning against the wall, looking at his phone with the same exact notification but with her name on it.
and for the first time in history they were thinking the same exact thought.
Cupid.
Screwed.
Up.

Well I hope in G3 they don't clutter with new characters each TV special. I know you have underrated character that's your absolute favorite and wishes that character get more screen time but with MH cast is so big. You almost forgot who is who? You will see ..
New Ghoul @ School: We have The Main MH cast:
Frankie, Clawdeen, Draculaura, Lagoona, Cleo, Ghoulia and Deuce
So far so good
Frights On!: Was introducing Belfry Prep vampires and Crescent Moon High werewolves and Van Hellscream [No dolls]
Why Do Ghouls Fall in Love:
There's C.A Cupid and Valentine [as Comic Con exclusive]
Escape from Skull Shores: Promote Skull Shores line and new characters: Andy Beast, Kipling, Tikis and Farnum [No dolls of them]
Friday Night Frights:
Aside to promote Skultimate Roller Maze line. Is more like introduction Robecca Steam and Rochelle Goyle [No Rocco doll]
Ghouls Rule: Promote Ghouls Rule's line, And new characters are humans [no new dolls]
Scaris: City of Frights:
Catrine DeMew, Jinafire Long, Skelita Calaveras and Garrott du Roque
13 Wishes:
Introduction of Twyla and Catty Noir, Gigi Grant and Whisp [as Comic Con exclusive]
Frights, Camera, Action!:
Clawdia Wolf, Elissabat, Honey Swamp and Viperine Gorgon
Freaky Fusion:
Neighthan Rot, Avea Trotter, Sirena Von Boo, and Bonita Femur
Haunted:
Vandala Doubloons, River Styxx, Kiyomi Haunterly, and Porter "Paintergeist" Geiss
Boo York Boo York:
Astranova, Luna Mothews, Mouscedes King, and Elle Eedee
Great Scarrier Reef:
Posea Reef, Kala Mer'ri, Peri and Pearl Serpentine
And out mention introduction of exchange students line...
In my option 3 characters should be limited and think carefully which characters would fit in the story and they would appear more in the future? Aside just appear background as cameo...
in Scaris: They just stick with Jinafire, Catrine and Skelita. Sorry Garrott but the movie is about Clawdeen entering a contest to become Moanatella's "apprentice"... Besides Garrott isn't MH student and lives in Scaris. I bet you almost forgot that he and Rochelle still together...
In Frights Camera Action!: Can they just stick Clawdia, Elissabat and Honey Swamp. Sorry Viperine, maybe in Deuce's family reunion in Greece would be more appropriate to introduce her ( I can't believe that never once Deuce and Viperina got interacted together)
In Freaky Fusion: Stick with Neighthan and Sirena and replace Avea and Bonita with Deuce and Jackson/ Holt (MH writers just forgot that Deuce is half human/gorgon and Jackson is half human/monster/elemental)
In Haunted: Just stick with River, Porter and Kiyomi. Sorry Vandala but she seems out place in school setting. Perhaps in Shriekwrecked series would be perfect for Vandala
In Boo York: Just stick with Astranova, Luna and Mouscedes and replace Elle with Seth Ptomely.
[RAISE HANDS WHO WANTS SETH DOLL]
I have nothing to say in Scarrier Reef: I just wish Finn Wake would be part of movie because he's siren and Gil's "stingray" form is pretty cool
So in conclusion: Focus on develop existing characters and don't make more

Frights, Camera, Action! – Hauntlywood Clawdia Wolf Diary
August 25th
Today I was walking through the streets of Londoom I just wanted to howl and do a little dance because I’m so excited to be here. I didn’t, of course, do the dancing part, since I’m the one with the “clumsy gene” in our family and I didn’t want to fall through an open monster hole cover. It has never bothered me that I’m not as athletic as the rest of the pack, because I think it was pretty apparent even when I was a cub that I was better at writing stories about my brothers’ and sisters’ athletic exploits than participating in them. It’s not that I didn’t try, but my mind and body may have been in concert but they were not playing the same tune. I remember the last organized soccer game I played: the coach put me in the goal partly because I was tall for my age and partly because he thought that perhaps the prospect of a ball being rocketed toward me might keep my attention. It worked for a bit, until the ball stayed at the other end of the pitch for a while, and a butterfly landed on the net. All of a sudden I became a ferocious were-spider who decided to give the butterfly a reprieve. So I climbed up in the net to shoo it away when I heard my dad yell, “Clawdia, turn around!” A ghoul was on a breakaway, and the only thing between her and me was open pitch and the ball. I tried to turn, and my spikes caught in the net, so I just closed my eyes and leaped toward the front of the goal. Somehow the ball ended up in my claws, and I kept the ghoul from scoring. It was my one and only athletic achievement, so I retired with my legacy in check and got a good story out of it, which, I’m sure, will end up in one of my screamplays some day. 
September 8th
I was sitting in the lecture hall today not really paying attention like I should have been, partly because I was working on a not-for-that-class writing assignment and partly, okay, mostly, because symbolism in ghost-modern, neo-realist goblin cinema is only slightly less painful than rolling in flea-infested wolf’s bane. Honestly, I have no idea what a goblin miner wearing a red hat and pushing an empty ore cart says about the state of modern goblin-kobold relations. I’m sure it is profound and important, but well... it doesn’t matter. What did matter, howere, was that the professor asked a question that he wanted all of us to answer, and I didn’t hear the question. I could have asked him to repeat the question, of course, but then I would have had to acknowledge that I had not been paying attention, and since this particular professor hates that, I knew I was going to have to wing it on the answer. Which made me nervous, which made me look for something to chew on, which meant I wasn’t listening to the other answers, which meant I didn’t have a clue when he got to me. So when he said, “Ms. Wolf?” I said I didn’t think I could add anything to the discussion that had not been more profoundly stated in the answers my classmates had already given. This caused the rest of the class to burst out laughing, to which the professor said, “While I appreciate your humility, your answer leaves us no closer to knowing how many siblings you have.” I was mortalfied, but even more so when he said, “Please do try and pay better attention going forward.” Unlive and learn, Clawdia, unlive and learn. 
September 15th
I’ve been using my iCoffin tablet to do some of my writing lately, and I really like it. I mean, I like the tablet. It’s great for doing video chats, and there are some really cool Londoom based apps that have helped me find my way around the city better. As for the writing part, I still prefer my chewed pen and leghoul pad. It may be old-fashioned, but there’s something about a blank sheet of paper that’s less intimidating than a blank scream with a blinking cursor.
October 1st
The only thing that’s coming down faster than the temperature in Londoom right now is the rain. I’m not sure what the real temp is, but you know it’s cold when a werewolf has to put on her fuzzy wool socks... brrr... fortunately, dad did a good job preparing me for this climate by never allowing to turn the thermostat up past the “I can see my breath” mark during the winter. We would say, “Dad, the house is freezing!” to which he would always reply, “You can either have heat or you can eat.” Followed quickly by, “We’re werewolves, for ghoul’s sake, put on a sweater if you’re cold.” Then we’d all look at mom, who would just shrug her soldiers. It was one of the only things she couldn’t change his mind about. So we’d all just sit snuggled together on the couch watching bad TV, complaining about Howleen’s sharp, unclipped paw nails and making promises about what we’d do when we all moved out and got our own places. I distinctly remember saying that I would turn up the heat so high that it would make Gloom Beach seem like a Yeti cave. So the first time it got cold here, I did just that, and it was every bit as amazing as I imagined it would be, until I got my first heating bill. Let’s just say that grocery shopping for the next few weeks gave me a completely different perspective on dad’s old saying. I’m pretty confident that saltines and marmite will never darken the shelves of my cupboard again after having that formerly tasty combination as my only breakfast and lunch option for a fortnight. I’m really missing being able to snuggle up on the couch with my pack of siblings, and I wouldn’t even complain about Howleen’s uncut paw nails... well, maybe not a lot.  
October 6th
I had a great video chat with the fam tonight, and they could not stop talking about Draculaura being chosen as queen of the vampires. They were in complete shock, and I have to admit it was quite a surprise to me as well. The vampires haven’t had a queen since the last chosen one, a young vampire ghoul named Elissabat, disappeared some 400 years ago. What is really curious about this, as if Draculaura being chosen as the new queen right out of the boo wasn’t curious enough, is that Clawdeen told me Draculaura’s choice was confirmed by the Vampire’s Heart. I have actually been doing quite a bit of research on the heart, which is really just a massive jewel with magical properties, for a screamplay I wanted to write about the mystery of the missing queen. There are many scholars that believe the jewel disappeared at the same time the ghoul who would be queen did; so either the scholars are incorrect, or there is more here than meets the eye. I didn’t want to be the one to rain on the funeral though, until I had a little more proof, especially with Clawdeen being so excited about attending the coronation. I did notice that Clawd wasn’t in the room with everyone else, and I’m wondering how he is dealing with this news. 
October 7th
Clawdeen has sent me at least 30 texts and emails since last night detailing the fashions she’s thinking about taking to the coronation. I can see her now running around the room with absolutely every piece of clothing she owns spread out so she can mix and match fashions. She’s probably also been through Draculaura’s closet several times as well. I love her so much and I wish I could be there to make her laugh when she starts getting too serious. She’s so beautiful, though, that whatever she chooses will probably steal the show. I finally got an IM from Clawd asking if we could talk. This wasn’t unusual, since Clawd prefers one-on-one conversation to fighting for face time in a group. When he popped up on the screen he looked terrible, almost like he’d been crying, although it might have just been bad lighting. As usual, Clawd didn’t want to talk about himself and instead wanted to know every little thing I was doing. I finally had to say, “Stop howling around the moon and talk to me, little brother.” So he did. He told me that he didn’t trust the Lord Stoker character that showed up with the Vampire’s Heart claiming it led him to Draculaura. What’s more, neither did Draculaura. They both thought Draculaura would be miserable being queen, but that she would feel honor and duty bound to take the throne. Even so he was trying to be as supportive as possible and went on for a few more minutes about things that were worrying him. When he stopped I said, “You really love her, don’t you?” He looked down for a moment and swallowed hard, “She’s my best friend, sis, and I’m about to lose her forever.” Now it was my turn to swallow hard, and then he made an excuse about having to leave for practice and said a hasty goodbye. I’m going to do some more digging into this, because something doesn’t pass the smell test here, and a Wolf’s nose is always right.

so here’s the rewrite notes i have so far. i’m just gonna copy paste instead of screen cappin’ since it’s easier for ppl to read
uhh fuck this is long, readmore time!
[ i liked warp's original wing design. the only reason it changed was charles said genies needed something to signify they were bound to someone so i was like 'uhhh the wings change color i guess' so. give them. tail ring...
--EXPLAIN non-wish magic. you fool. you baffoon. what is this different colored magic that genies can just fucking use whenever? why does warp's suck and krimson can make a full on projection of his dead father with voice and everything?
EXPLAIN. YOUR. SHIT. BETTER.--MAKE THE ALIEN PLANET MORE ALIEN YOU DUMBASS. NO THEY DON'T HAVE A NINTENDO 64
i guess zephyr can still be a character? she plays a fairly important role i just don't like her. can i speak to your manager lookin ass. 'well i was TOLD-' lookin ass. zephyr chugs a glass of dumb bitch juice every morning
i want bo to start off more. ambiguous. like that maybe he's just unsettling? it's gonna be obvious SOMETHING is up and he's probably definitely evil but he will maintain his composure more and seem really kind until the rescue plan where he becomes full on unhinged
warp has their snake tongue from the beginning (?)
i think i wanna make warp an antagonist for a bit longer. idk. either way i need to explain why warp doesn't just stealth slit kristy's throat and that their pathetic attempts that fail are on purpose bc they're sick of killing and don't want to be desensitized to it. they wanna break the cycle of taking innocent lives.
make clawdia more of a little shit than 'innocent smol softboy' bc god fuck that.
specific example to add in the rescue chapter: [clawdia sees a family portrait on bo's desk] 'oh, you have a child?' 'ah yes, that's my son, little bo jr.' in unison [thinking] 'of course he is...' 'that smug face. i wanna kick him in the shins.' 'i beg your pardon!'
(srsly im stuck on the idea of clawdia seeing a photo of krimson and immediately thinking 'god i bet he's a total shitlord')
-- but ofc clawdia is still a sweet good boy
before bo dies, add a scene of him calling up krimson and krimson rushing to his side to talk, tho do not have the dialogue. just. set that out there as a thing that happens.
i know we have a lot of characters but ffs stop forgetting kasey and rauz (+ talk abt their ages. for instance i think of kasey and rauz as being abt 11 in “‘human years”“)
make kristy the mischievous and overall whimsical genie she was fucking meant to be you coward
debating keeping kristy's big squirrel tail intact
[a maybe scene, probably during the warp rescue chapter] 'so what exactly is your relationship with warp?' 'they help me out with my work, kind of like a secretary. honestly though i treat them like my own child.' this is addressed later that they had a romantic relationship and yes it's fucking gross and creepy as all hell
do... something abt the beach chapter. i stated warp's magic is incredibly weak so if they are still gonna transform a crab into a giant then it should take a huge toll on them
yetta. has. a. stuttering. problem! remember that this time!!! ]

I was sitting in the lecture hall today not really paying attention like I should have been, partly because I was working on a not-for-that-class writing assignment and partly, okay, mostly, because symbolism in ghost-modern, neo-realist goblin cinema is only slightly less painful than rolling in flea-infested wolf’s bane. Honestly, I have no idea what a goblin miner wearing a red hat and pushing an empty ore cart says about the state of modern goblin-kobold relations. I’m sure it is profound and important, but well... it doesn’t matter. What did matter, howere, was that the professor asked a question that he wanted all of us to answer, and I didn’t hear the question. I could have asked him to repeat the question, of course, but then I would have had to acknowledge that I had not been paying attention, and since this particular professor hates that, I knew I was going to have to wing it on the answer. Which made me nervous, which made me look for something to chew on, which meant I wasn’t listening to the other answers, which meant I didn’t have a clue when he got to me. So when he said, “Ms. Wolf?” I said I didn’t think I could add anything to the discussion that had not been more profoundly stated in the answers my classmates had already given. This caused the rest of the class to burst out laughing, to which the professor said, “While I appreciate your humility, your answer leaves us no closer to knowing how many siblings you have.” I was mortalfied, but even more so when he said, “Please do try and pay better attention going forward.” Unlive and learn, Clawdia, unlive and learn.

I’ve been using my iCoffin tablet to do some of my writing lately, and I really like it. I mean, I like the tablet. It’s great for doing video chats, and there are some really cool Londoom based apps that have helped me find my way around the city better. As for the writing part, I still prefer my chewed pen and leghoul pad. It may be old-fashioned, but there’s something about a blank sheet of paper that’s less intimidating than a blank scream with a blinking cursor.

The only thing that’s coming down faster than the temperature in Londoom right now is the rain. I’m not sure what the real temp is, but you know it’s cold when a werewolf has to put on her fuzzy wool socks... brrr... fortunately, dad did a good job preparing me for this climate by never allowing to turn the thermostat up past the “I can see my breath” mark during the winter. We would say, “Dad, the house is freezing!” to which he would always reply, “You can either have heat or you can eat.” Followed quickly by, “We’re werewolves, for ghoul’s sake, put on a sweater if you’re cold.” Then we’d all look at mom, who would just shrug her soldiers. It was one of the only things she couldn’t change his mind about. So we’d all just sit snuggled together on the couch watching bad TV, complaining about Howleen’s sharp, unclipped paw nails and making promises about what we’d do when we all moved out and got our own places. I distinctly remember saying that I would turn up the heat so high that it would make Gloom Beach seem like a Yeti cave. So the first time it got cold here, I did just that, and it was every bit as amazing as I imagined it would be, until I got my first heating bill. Let’s just say that grocery shopping for the next few weeks gave me a completely different perspective on dad’s old saying. I’m pretty confident that saltines and marmite will never darken the shelves of my cupboard again after having that formerly tasty combination as my only breakfast and lunch option for a fortnight. I’m really missing being able to snuggle up on the couch with my pack of siblings, and I wouldn’t even complain about Howleen’s uncut paw nails... well, maybe not a lot.

I had a great video chat with the fam tonight, and they could not stop talking about Draculaura being chosen as queen of the vampires. They were in complete shock, and I have to admit it was quite a surprise to me as well. The vampires haven’t had a queen since the last chosen one, a young vampire ghoul named Elissabat, disappeared some 400 years ago. What is really curious about this, as if Draculaura being chosen as the new queen right out of the boo wasn’t curious enough, is that Clawdeen told me Draculaura’s choice was confirmed by the Vampire’s Heart. I have actually been doing quite a bit of research on the heart, which is really just a massive jewel with magical properties, for a screamplay I wanted to write about the mystery of the missing queen. There are many scholars that believe the jewel disappeared at the same time the ghoul who would be queen did; so either the scholars are incorrect, or there is more here than meets the eye. I didn’t want to be the one to rain on the funeral though, until I had a little more proof, especially with Clawdeen being so excited about attending the coronation. I did notice that Clawd wasn’t in the room with everyone else, and I’m wondering how he is dealing with this news.
October 7th
Clawdeen has sent me at least 30 texts and emails since last night detailing the fashions she’s thinking about taking to the coronation. I can see her now running around the room with absolutely every piece of clothing she owns spread out so she can mix and match fashions. She’s probably also been through Draculaura’s closet several times as well. I love her so much and I wish I could be there to make her laugh when she starts getting too serious. She’s so beautiful, though, that whatever she chooses will probably steal the show. I finally got an IM from Clawd asking if we could talk. This wasn’t unusual, since Clawd prefers one-on-one conversation to fighting for face time in a group. When he popped up on the screen he looked terrible, almost like he’d been crying, although it might have just been bad lighting. As usual, Clawd didn’t want to talk about himself and instead wanted to know every little thing I was doing. I finally had to say, “Stop howling around the moon and talk to me, little brother.” So he did. He told me that he didn’t trust the Lord Stoker character that showed up with the Vampire’s Heart claiming it led him to Draculaura. What’s more, neither did Draculaura. They both thought Draculaura would be miserable being queen, but that she would feel honor and duty bound to take the throne. Even so he was trying to be as supportive as possible and went on for a few more minutes about things that were worrying him. When he stopped I said, “You really love her, don’t you?” He looked down for a moment and swallowed hard, “She’s my best friend, sis, and I’m about to lose her forever.” Now it was my turn to swallow hard, and then he made an excuse about having to leave for practice and said a hasty goodbye. I’m going to do some more digging into this, because something doesn’t pass the smell test here, and a Wolf’s nose is always right.
