Such an incredible figure! It captures the freaky monstrosity of the original xenomorph while also serving the fab creepy glam of a Monster High ghoul.

In European folklore, a vampire's favored animal is usually a wolf, and in the novel, Dracula likes wolves as much as bats. However, it was cheaper and easier for early horror movies to produce a believable bat than a believable wolf. Thus, it became the vampire's preferred form.

In Welsh folklore, King Arthur needed to acquire the two pups of the She-Wolf of Rhymi to hunt the great boar Trwyth. When Arthur's men cornered the She-Wolf, a divine miracle removed the curse she had been under, and so she regained her true form - that of a human princess.

Not quote tweeting the original because yes, Haitians ABSOLUTELY deserve the credit for being the first and most important domino in the abolition of slavery in the modern world. BUT ALSO, there have been people trying to ban slavery for as long as there’s been slavery, and sometimes they succeeded.

Bonus (past) SuperBatober just to wish everyone a PEACEFUL week! And maybe a cute one too. ❤️🦅

A past SUPERBATOBER (for the prompt EAGLE) where Batgirl and Supergirl are getting a visit from Season 1 Peacemaker and his pet/sidekick Eagly.

Peacemaker: Eagly is not CUTE. He's a DEADLY instrument of PEACE.
Batgirl: Nah, he's adorable.
Supergirl (giving a happy Eagly a loving pet beneath his beak): Who's a good deadly instrument...? ❤️

Certainly, it seems that any creative writing job turns out to be "Training AI to write stories" when you look at them more closely.

So iconic! Considering gender-bending fanart is very common online, it's funny that Bowsette was the one example that took the Internet by storm.

Let us never forget our Queen. Remember when the internet could all gather together to fall in love with a trans woman that used to be a big lizard... What happened to us? 😜

Ashley is pictured in a Bowsette cosplay and is in thigh highs, a leather bodice, fishnet arm covers, spiked collar and bracelets, a black revealing skirt, she has the Super Crown and horns on, and is looking up seductively at the camera.
