My Bio

As of 27/08/18, This is NO LONGER an RP account.


Hello Everyone.


This my new account. My old one was :iconRoses-and-Feathers: (man time has passed since 2014 when I left my old account. I dunno WHY I can't access it anymore....). My name is Christabel. My account is named after the main character, Melanie Dirge of my very own Duskville cartoons. I still draw and develop my Duskville cartoons, but haven't got much time to actually post them on dA as I'm very busy. PLENTY of things have happened between the time I left dA in 2014 and now.


NOTE: I will no longer be doing big crossovers with similarly-themed shows/media for my Duskville stories unless it's with a couple of friends' OCs. Since I left dA, I prefer to write my own characters now and some things in Duskville, regarding the areas of the town and stuff have changed. Honestly, looking back, my crossover days, while fun, resulted in stories that were kinda cringy and kinda limited my worldbuilding in a bad way. Now I am glad to finally write my own stories/scenarios etc all involving my own original characters interacting with each other and the lead heroine Melanie.

https://twitter.com/NetflixGeeked/status/1431255254520246282 Saw this twitter post about some info revealed about the new 'Wednesday Addams' series on netflix....and apparently they are giving it a Monster High/Harry Potter approach mixed with drama.......I honestly have mixed feelings on this. I like the idea of Wednesday (or any of the Addamses) meeting monster kids/teens....but putting a well-loved character who previously had a good 90s film adaptation in a Pseudo-Harry Potter like setting screams Casper's Scare School (my least favourite entry in the Casper franchise no thanks to the cut and paste effort they did with the characters and constantly recycled plots within the series...doesn't help the fanbase would badmouth Casper himself....). On the bright side however, I'm kinda glad that the main vampire mentioned in the list of monster characters isn't an angsty/brat bad boy vampire type a la Damon (vampire diaries- never got into that show tbh) or Thatch (Casper's Scare
