Shadow sent me this Clawdeen!
Moog sent me Jin because she is me as a monster. Srsly.
I helped Candy get a Holt, and my BF sent me Frankie- together they are my OTP. The dolls not the people.
I made sure Candy got a SDCC Ghoulia of her own to read comics with.
Sie and Kitty are my two best silly internet buds.
I do lots of trading with Nina and her little sister.
Between Trevor and Arjay I have sent out a lot of Scaris Dolls.
And thanks to Shadow I have one doll that is exclusively all my own.
;_; thank you bbsSorry for the crappy middle of the night pictures.
I’m supposed to be in bed, guess tomorrow I’m going to be half asleep at work!But I wanted to take these early for once for a special reason: This No Shame Sunday, I wanted to celebrate what makes me really and truly love Monster High, all my Ghoul Friends.Since Friday there’s been a bit of a tiff going back and forth on the tag about NSS, admittedly I ended up in that tiff. Originally I just wanted to add my 2 cents, but I allowed myself to get worked up over it as well. And one of the things I noticed was that this disagreement brought up was that the over all subject matter made some people feel like they weren’t welcome in the fandom if they had discerning opinions. Even a few of my MH friends said this, that they seemed to feel alienated for voicing that they felt things could be different.
And worse yet, I saw some people- and again some of my friends- saying they didn’t want to participate in NSS if this was how they felt/things were going to be. That if the fun and open-ness of the event was going to be drained out of it.
So today (or tonight whatever, its 12:24 AM on Sunday for me), before I go to sleep, I wanted to up load photos of some of the dolls I’ve gotten or my copies of dolls I have sent out to all the wonderful people I’ve met and befriended because of this fandom.
I LOVE Monster High. But I really LOVE this fandom. And I ESPECIALLY love all the people I’ve met through it.Because of Monster High I have met some of the coolest, most generous, most understanding people I have ever encountered in my life. I have found people that understand me better than some of my family. I have found people that share my interest beyond just dolls, that have the same hopes and dreams and ideas that I do. And they live all over the world! And thanks to our Monster High dolls (and the internet and postal services) I’ve got a little piece of them right here with me!
Because of Monster High I have more people that love and care about me in my life than I ever thought possible, and I don’t want them to ever NOT feel welcomed. Not here, not anywhere!
So for No Shame Sunday, I am dedicating my post to my Ghoul-Friends Forever. The amazing people Monster High has made welcome in my heart and who have welcomed me into theirs:
Arjay: sent Scaris Deuce
Trevor: sent Scaris TwoPack and Catrine
Nina: gave me Frankie Delux fashion and a Fear Uniform for Toralei
Kitty and Sie: sent Howleen and Ghoul’s Rule Abbey
Candy: Helped her get SDCC Ghoulia and a Holt Hyde.
Extra love to my life long besties Shadow ( Gifted me the Coffin Bean and made me my OC as a doll for Christmas) and Moog (sent me Jinafire for Christmas) and my love, Tony (Killer Style Frankie for my birthday), who lacks a tumblr of his own but checks mine anyway. XP
Special shout outs to P-girl(no trade, but a custom doll box), Scary-Murphy, Ukelele and Momdusa, whom I’ve not traded/gifted with, but that are still super nice and caring and RAD. And anyone else that I may have missed, I love each and everyone of you. And I am not ashamed to to say this fandom has made you a big part of my life.I hope that all my friends, and everyone in this fandom continues to post, not just on Sunday but everyday. Yeah, sometimes we get a little rowdy, even I admit to getting worked up over the stuff that goes on in this fandom, but I don’t ever want anyone to feel unwelcomed or uncomfortable. Have fun with it, be happy with it and each other at the end of the day.
Love,
Jade
XOXOXOXOXO~*big big hugs*
this is what i loved so much about no shame sunday. that it brought out this sort of post. not adherence to rules and officiating- the spontaneous declarations of love and appreciation of monster high and of each other.
i absolutely do love the friends i’ve made in this fandom. while i might not be posting under the nss banner, i will never stop posting my love for monster high, or for the friends i’ve made because of it.
right back atcha, jade. right back atcha.
