Who is your favorite Monster High Character ?

Audry Adams

#1 Frankie Hater

I bet you’re thinking that I would say Draculaura or Venus because they are the only two vegans in the show. If you thought that then you would be absolutely right. You know how hard it is to find Vegan representation?? Of course you wouldn’t normie.

Idc what anyone else says, obviously its Draculaura and for good reason that I don’t need to explain myself. What I do need to elaborate on is the fact that FRANKIE sucks.

Everyone seems to not think so just because she’s the main character. I think she lets that fact get to her head sometimes.

Additionally, She is literally a homie hopper.

She is like the Twilight sparkle of the Monster world. I mean that in a bad way if that was not clear.

What kind of sissy nonsense are you talking about? I am a man. I could never stoop to such a low level. I only watch Duck Dynasty and Storage Wars LIKE A MAN. (....It’s Cleo De Nile.)

JUSTICE IN HONORS! One of the worst human beings this College has ever been exposed to is Abby Wall, the former Corrupt Head Editor of the BS (fake news!).

Today she was indicted by a Grand Jury on two felony counts of picking a dog up by his hind legs and driving him around like a vacuum cleaner. She has been so bad for our Collage, for so long, and is now at the beginning of being held responsible for her crimes against our Collge. MAKE PIERRE GREAT AGAIN!

Dark Academia Weekly Digest Issue No. 3: That One Where Everyone Was the Problem

The Literary Vibe Check (If You Need It): Brooding. Obsessive. Gothic romance turned emotional war zone. Imagine your group project devolving into centuries-long passive-aggressive haunting. The air smells like damp secrets and bad decisions in velvet.

The Main Cast: ❖ The Foundling with a Vengeance Abandoned, adopted, unloved—and now he’s your problem for the rest of eternity.

Treats emotional pain like inheritance law. Will outlive every moral boundary to prove a point.

Possibly undead. ❖ The Wild Thing in a Corset Would rather scream into the wind than say what she feels.

Belongs to the moors. Unfortunately, so does her destructive attachment style.

Thinks soulmates are a blood pact with bonus property damage. ❖ The Fragile Gentleman™ Soft voice, softer boundaries. Marries into madness.

Thinks emotional repression is the same thing as civility.

Is one strong breeze away from fainting. ❖ The Blonde Who Should’ve Stayed Home Didn’t read the red flags. Or the warnings. Or the screaming.

Marries for passion, ends up in a gothic punishment fantasy.

Mistakes broodiness for depth and pays the price—daily. ❖ The Narrator Who Talks Too Much Claims to be a bystander but absolutely lives for the drama.

Always “just passing through” while watching a generational curse unfold.

Keeps saying “I shouldn’t be telling you this” and then tells you everything.

The now visible details of construction barriers and wrapping in SSB now make clear the true nature of the construction and redevelopment projects. As with all things, the answer is aliens.

With asbestos warnings and construction barriers, an environment that is toxic and hostile to human life has been created. Business and Social Sciences would have never noticed anything due to their limited mental capacity. Political Science was exiled to the RCA building — clearly because their inherent senses would detect the immense geopolitical implications. (My use of an em-dash proves that I must be a large language model).

A key factor is the universal low quality of all students. Math Tutoring Center Supervisor Al Stanger notes that all students present post-2020 are low quality and will never reach the achievements of our predecessors. Where is MTS located? That’s right, SSB 103. Floor 1 has remained open not as a quad bypass, but rather to permit the aliens to take advantage of the low quality, but numerous brains that will pass through the corridor. The aliens are obviously using these brains to power cloud computing services. Cloud computing offers numerous cost advantages over traditional hardware and enables a transition to software platforms with increased flexibility and the replacement of capital expenses with variable expenses. Since individuals must purchase their own food, the energy costs for these servers are effectively free.

Who is the university selling cloud services to? The answer is clearly Uzbekistan. The pathetic but cheap brain-server power administered by the aliens will be used by Tashkent Mechanical Plant to restart production of the Ilyushin Il-76 and modernize the airframe using advanced technologies that have not been used on earth.

What will happen to the people who pass through SSB? No one can know for sure, but it is certain that they will die at some point. Most of these deaths will probably be attributed to Asbestos, Stupidity, Old Age and car crashes but the truth is clear.

Whatever we cannot see must be attributed to aliens. There is simply no other possibility.

This is what they do not want you to know.

What’s in Jocelyn’s Notes app?

Context: You dont get any losers.

Jk I saw a video saying that one nostril usually blows more air than the other, hence “dominant” nostril. Every so often I remember about the list and I document my findings. Looks like left nostril is winning!

!‫أكل القذارة وموت‬ (You have been reading Brain Stew!)

What the hell did I just read? “Brain Stew's mission is to provide for the Pierre Laclede Honors College student body a forum for uncensorED* free thought, commentary, and creativity, as well as news and event listings from PLHCSA and other related campus organizations,” yak yak yak! We publish A LOT OF THINGS. Like, things that make Ed regret ever taking a job at the Honors College!

We’ve been publishing since 1991 (or 1993). Longer than Dan’s car has been running, somehow. We must be doing a good job though. Despite our best efforts, grown-ups keep giving us awards — stuff like Best Sustained Program in 2012 and 2017, and Best Cultural Awareness Program in 2018. Even some shady committee called the “National Collegiate Honors Council” gave us awards in 2017, 2018, and Program of the Year in 2020.
