Anyway I wonder what personality Spelldon will get in the live action because he didn’t have one in g1 😇
ITS TIIIIIIIIIIME 🎵
ELLIS IS HERE
Valentine and Spelldon in the monster high live action having a “do you trust me?” moment because they’re on opposite sides in a war but they get desperate and need each others help
RIGHT LIKE HIS EVIL SKILLS ARE SO WELL PRACTICED THAT HES SUCH A CLEVER STEALTHY FELLOW
He’s SO SMART but he’s also so stupid like you didn’t look at the WITCH’S (see: spells and curses) shell that you STOLE to notice the piece of paper that literally said it was cursed??
He’s such a silly guy
I seriously hate his mom like he told her his plan and she’s like “mmm actually no you suck” LIKE WHAT??
Plus if you really look into it Valentine didn’t get his magic back until he started working at the animal shelter. Mrs Goblin explains that it’s his love for the animals that gives him his magic back. I also headcanon that the “Spark” from Freaky Fusions is love energy (it makes a lot of sense) and what Val lives on. In that movie Frankie gets her Spark from friends and family.
AND FAMILY. So Val COULD have gotten his powers back from his mom if she loved him BUT SHE DOESNT. He isn’t getting any love from her. Plus canonically with her distant and uncarring actions in the diary she doesn’t seem great.
No wonder Valentine dealt with so much self hatred.
rereading the comic 'I Only Have Eye for You' and the summary has made me realise just how stealthy and cunning Valentine really is.
in the summary for the comic he is described as a 'shadowy figure' which means he must've been really quiet and agile to be able to constantly sneak in and out of so many different situations.
and in chapter 'Bull's Eye', he drops a packet of gummi worms right in front of Manny and the others without them noticing and being able to leave without a trace is really impressive
also in 'Locketness Monster', Gil sees Valentine leave a purple shell on his beach towel and either Valentine put on a convincing disguise or Gil is just stupid as hell (i hate gil). apparently Valentine got the magical purple shell from a sea witch??? theres that
and Valentine somehow got Cleo's dad's number and was able to have a conversation with him pretending (implied?) to be Deuce which means he was able to accurately mimic Deuce's speech manners and voice
so, in conclusion, i just really like him
ALSO VALENTINE'S MOTHER TOLD HIM THAT HIS ONLY STRENGTH WAS RUINING LOVE AND HE SHOULD STICK TO THAT???? WHAT KIND OF PARENTING IS THAT I MEAN GIRLIE YOUR SON WENT THROUGH A CRISIS AND AN HALF BECAUSE OF HIS TOXIC MINDSET ABOUT LOVE AND YOU'RE JUST LIKE 'yeah no son, keep being toxic thats the only thing you're good at' LIKE EXCUSE YOU KEEP YOUR COMMENTS AWAY FROM VALENTINE
Okay but Valentine (Ellis) uses his fake persona and accent to infiltrate monster high and opalesce rats him out because she’s actually southern and he’s just so bad at the accent that she can’t ignore it
Spelldon and Valentine in their old married era visiting Aeaea because Val loves the sea
Val and Circe definitely got along really well instantly
Watch Valentine have no screen time in the monster high movie when I’m making him being in it my entire personality
I feel like when he’s older, Valentine has a manticore named Juno that he found on the side of the road. He thought she was miniature because she was a baby and he didn’t notice she was so big until she was already full grown because he’s stupid
I feel like the Vampire Court in Monster High still functions a lot like the Roman Empire did. Like yeah they have a queen, but there's a council/senate and governors and stuff.
And I think Latin would still be a very prominent "official" language that they use as a standard for important things (especially with the ancient elite). Like they speak Romanian and Hungarian and Ottoman Turkish and stuff. But Latin (and/or maybe English) would be the language that "all" vampires would know so that's the one for decrees and laws and stuff.
Valentine making dinner at the stove and Spelldon coming up behind him and hugging him and putting his head on his shoulder
They give each other little cheek kisses <3
Valentine is an ugly sleeper. His mouth is always open like he’s a snake resetting its jaw after eating a mouse whole. He drools too, and he steals the blankets so that Spelldon wakes up freezing, covered with nothing but the sheets.
Spelldon is a loud sleeper. He snores ridiculously loud and it’s all nasal so it sounds like a pig had a baby with a fog horn. He’s also a kicker, and he’ll fling himself around and smack Valentine in the face. Valentine is also a light sleeper, especially in a bed rather than a coffin, and would wake up multiple times a night, his skin twinging from where Spelldon hit him.
So they sleep separately. But they moved Val’s coffin to right next to the bed.
Okay but Valentine in g3 has to have long hair and mental problems that’s like his whole character
I see her like that too. Especially since Val didn’t get any of his magic back from her love, I don’t know if she loves him or if she’s just “obligated” to deal with him since she’s his mom
kinda realising that i hc val's mother to be a bit neglectful and disinterested in val. what do you all hc his mother to be like?
You know how Torelai is beating a witch (cough cough Spelldon) up in her teaser what if we have a Valentine v Spelldon fight because “grr witches and vampires are at war we hate each other but we’re actually madly in love”
Wait so is Iris Clops’ father Polyphemus or an Elder Cyclops?
In her diary it says he builds and is an engineer which makes me think he’s an Elder Cyclops because they made the Thunderbolts and work with Hephaestus (a blacksmith), but I can’t find anything specific supporting that idea
But Polyphemus is more popular and called “THE cyclops” because of that. He’s the one in the odyssey who was blinded by Odysseus (he’s the: “who’s attacking me?” “Nobody!” “Help! Nobody is killing me!” That thing)
So I can’t decide which, or is it a completely different thing? All the sources I can find with an answer are like Amino and i can’t trust that
Valentine is a smells person
He has 40 different perfumes with different smells, even if they’re super super similar. Spelldon says he can’t tell the difference and Valentine goes off on a rant about the minute differences they have because he has every detail of every scent memorized so that he knows which one is appropriate for each occasion.
Every time he goes shopping he has to stop and smell the scented candles. He definitely has a cabinet full of them at home.
Give him a scratch-and-sniff and he’d lose his mind
Valentine being from Ireland in fanon is so fun to me because two of the most famous vampire literature authors (Bram Stoker and Sheridan le Fanu) were Irish
Sheridan le Fanu wrote Carmilla if you didn’t know
I don’t have many expectations of the monster high the movie sequel coming out but I need valentine in fancy clothes
Valentine mixes every language he knows when he’s tired and Spelldon only knows English and Greek so he just nods along and says stuff like “no way really” because he has no idea what Valentine is talking about
spelldon sitting under a tree, valentine hanging upside down from a branch
I really want Valentine and Spelldon to meet in the live action sequel by physically bumping into each other
I haven’t found a place for it yet but I headcanon that Valentine’s mother’s name is Maeve
THEY LITERALLY ARE THEY COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER SO WELL
My least favorite part of having a small social media platform isnt even the number of likes I get it’s just that nobody leaves comments 😭 like please talk to me
Okay so I watched the live action monster high movie and I’m snooping through the credits for hints for the second one, and two people are cast as witches (Arianna Bent and Artemis Pebdani)??? But the only witch I can find in the movie is the one at the end with the crystal ball so where’s the other one hiding?? 😭
Why am I just now realizing that Lilith’s surname is a play on Van Helsing
I desperately want to write a monster high fanfic and I have everything but the plot I am distraught
I love looking too deep into the lore of a one-off monster high villain :D
