Ok real question, why do you think they suddenly decided to release the third haunted mansion doll this year? (Pls read desc)

I’m not complaining at all about the release of the werecat lady doll at all. I think she’s an extremely underrated character as a haunted mansion fan and I am happy she’s getting a doll in general.

That being said I have been very confused about why they decided to bring her out this year since…well, since they announced the haunted mansion was getting a new doll at all in 2026.

I say this because normally there has to be some kind of special event to justify an LE release, especially for such a niche character. Constance was released for the premiere of the 2023 movie, and Sally was released in 2024 for the ride’s 55 anniversary. But the haunted mansion doesn’t have its next milestone anniversary until 2029. It doesn’t have anything particularly special this year, so this drop seems very random to me, as excited as I am for it. And no, the Halloween season by itself isn’t a special event. They do haunted mansion merch for Halloween annually but limited or special stuff like the dolls are typically saved for actual events.

The most I can think about is the anniversary of the ride’s opening in Magic Kingdom (magic kingdom in general is turning 55 years old this year), which probably explains why Magic Kingdom got her before disneyland(??), but that seems so random because they don’t usually celebrate second copies of rides with stuff like this. Anniversaries are usually especially for the original first ever version of a ride. So what gives?

Are they just deciding that HM is successful enough as an IP that they don’t need anniversary-based justifications to release more LE dolls and products, especially because their first two HM dolls were very successful? Because if thats the case, this potentially throws out their rules for just about any successful franchise they make LE dolls for.

Would it be too crazy if I said this lowkey fit Lukana, Lilien, and Rajih raising Lukana’s daughter together? Cause I lowkey wanna draw it 😭

Specifically this would be in the context of Lilien and Lukana being a monogamous romantic sapphic couple, but Rajih is their platonic partner who is just as much of a parent in the dynamic……Does my vision make sense?

I have always found the cover art of the lodv novel interesting, because intentionally or not, it gives you intell about the main harem girls before you even read the novel upon analyzing them

Compared to the other 3, Mikulia is the only one smiling. At first glance this may seem like a simple nod to the fact that she's a lot more peppy and childlike in terms of personality, but if you're even vaguely familiar with her character this becomes a pretty obvious representation of how throughout the entire novel she's the only one who was never brainwashed by Venomania. The only one who came there "of her own will". I say that in quotes because this doesn't take away from the fact that she's still a vulnerable person who was manipulated in another way and was just as much a victim of the abuse, but her immunity to the specific brainwashing everyone else was put through still differentiates her.

Lukana has no smile, she is under the duke's brainwashing and very much not here out of any decision of her own, but unlike the remaining two members,
she seems more conscious, staring at the viewer with an almost aware expression. This fits her as the only one in the harem who was fully brainwashed but halfway through the story managed to break through even if just slighly, with the spell weakening a bit and making her lucid enough to start questioning the duke's morality and actually experiencing shock and becoming upset with him at his more deliberately despicable actions and apathetic emotions.

And of course, we have Gumina and Maylis, who by their expressions, look the most out of it. Of the 4 girls in the main cast, they are the two who were fully under the brainwashing from their abduction all the way to their liberation after the spell was fully broken via the death of Sateriasis. Admittedly I can't think of much to say for Maylis outside of that, mainly cause I feel like the novel doesn't give her as much in comparison to the rest 😭(tho if anyone notices something | missed, feel free to add to this analysis), but | feel like I can say something about Gumina. It's no wonder that her being the one in an embrace with Sateriasis is in reference to her obviously being the one he truly loves and their shared history. Tbh, what l'm about to say may sound like I'm over analyzing and honestly it might be but I'm still going with it. But despite how out of it she seems, and despite him obviously holding her in that embrace, her seemingly fully leaning into the embrace and her hand slightly curling ever so slightly into his coat almost reads to me like a subtle nod to her throughout the story clinging to her memories of and true feelings for Cherubim, Sateriasis* past and true self, even while fully under the effects of his brainwashing. And this kinda extends to her complicated feelings of grief once the spell breaks and she's left to mourn Cherubim and her now complicated affections for him despite the fact that she could barely even remember who he was before he
truly became a monster.

Miclarith!! (Art by me)

I promised Miclarith fanart for pride month so this is honestly super late and last minute (technically its still june 30th in some timezones but still).

I also promised Lilikana but I procrastinated too much and I couldn’t think of a pose for them that I liked and also that wasn’t super sad, so I’ll draw them later as a belated piece (I apologize as someone who genuinely loves Lilikana more than any other EC ship 😭🥲)

But yeah, Happy pride month regardless of whether or not its still June for you🩷

How do you keep your collections protected? (Pls read desc)

Perhaps you can partially blame it on me being up way to late while on vacation and spiraling while overthinking but it just hit me that perhaps my dolls aren’t as protected as they should be and now I’m anxious about it 🥹

I live in San Juan, Puerto Rico, where theres a decent amount of heat and humidity for the whole year. However, I never really took into consideration how hot or humid my room actually is when the Ac isn’t on. From what I’m able to feel it doesn’t typically feel super bad but my subjective experience isn’t exactly trustworthy and its not like I have anything on me to measure those factors accurately.

I keep my dolls up against a wall in my room, not directly in front of the window but on the wall opposite to the window and a few feet to the left (lets say 4-5 feet). I am also typically away at college for 5 days a week so its not like I can just keep the AC or fan running while I am away (I also read that exposing your dolls to extreme temperatures changes like keeping the AC on for a weekend and then turning it off for several days after can damage them because of the contrast, accelerating damage)

With everything including the fact that most Disney LE dolls post 2020 are suspected of using poly hair, I am nervous about preserving my dolls for as long as possible. Important note, I am also an in box collector for the disney LEs so its not like I mess with them too much but still

Advice is appreciated 🥹😭

Ignore the other non HM announcements but according to rumors the next LE doll for the Haunted mansion lineup is said to be the Werecat Lady

Was genuinely not expecting this given she rarely gets merch but if this turns out to be true, I’ll be happy as I think she’s a very underrated character with a beautiful design 🥹

Obviously its not confirmed but I have faith, I’m pretty active in the Disney LE doll community when it comes to keeping up with news and I find that these sources tend to be fairly accurate when it comes to leaks most of the time

Anybody know whats going on? The announcement says she’s supposed to come with a specific preorder bonus item but when I view the cart, its not there. Nor does it even show up on the listing for the bonuses?

Question about _fairytale_vibes_

They’re the creator who started the whole “Apple and Raven switched at birth” theory. And I was wondering if over the years anyone has watched the rest of the content up until recently. Because outside of just that theory, they also make other video essays and theories about EAH, but I have been largely avoiding them as a creator. Because even though alot if their video essays do sound interesting based on the title, especially because I’m someone who does constantly crave EAH content in video essay form, both as a lover of analytical content and as a way to keep the fandom alive, Fairytale vibes largely lost alot of credibility for me all the way when they first came up with the switched at birth theory and then just continued posting subsequent videos about the theory bringing up easily refutable evidence, and insisting that that reinforced their theory.

I, like many people in the fandom, really despise the switched at birth theory because of how flimsy it is and because of how much it goes against the entire theme of the story. So I don’t think it’s hard to understand why a creator would lose credibility for me about their opinions on the show in general when one of the theories they are most known for is a theory that so fundamentally misunderstands and even downright ignores everything the show stands for. So for the past few years anytime their videos pop up on my youtube feed, I always just ignore it because even if the titles sound very interesting, and I am temporally interested in watching said videos, I just end up not doing so because I already expect this person‘s points and theories to be flimsy at best.

I was wondering if anyone here had seen some of their other content related to EAH and if that content was any good. Because I know it seems and probably is very pessimistic and judgmental of me to refuse to watch a creator without even hearing them out first just based on one theory of theirs that blew up, but honestly, I’d rather save my time. Which is why I’m asking y’all who have familiarized themselves more with their content, Has their stance on the theory changed? Are their other theories any good or are they just as flimsy? Let me know if y’all know.

It has always confused me that people often refer to IA as having pink hair. I can see the pink in the undertones, highlights, and shading but the base hair color has always been like a cream/strawberry/platinum blonde. Only time its ever actually looked pink imo is in her CeVio VB

Do ya’ll have any particular headcanons about how the characters voices sound in accordance to their Vocaloid’s voicebanks (read desc)

Honestly I didn’t know how to phrase the question in the title but to explain more clearly. If you’re a Vocaloid fan and not just an evillious fan (which I assume half of you are because of the nature of the series) and you know that with a vocal synth voicebank you can manipulate the voices to sing in the higher pitch to the lower pitch, hence why the tones and pitches of the same character can vary across peoducers, songs, and tuning styles.

Because the grand majority of evillious characters are represented by vocaloid characters, and because many vocaloids present in the series play more than one character, I was wondering if perhaps you had certain headcanons about which pitch or tone each character would speak in (could be but also doesn’t have to be necessarily inspired by how mothy tunes them in the songs)

For example, I like to think Eve speaks in Miku’s lower tone, granted its not in every single song but I feel like especially after the SCAP album, Mothy does tend to pitch Miku lower when she’s singing as Eve, so thats just ingrained in my brain now 😭. While characters like Michaela and Mikulia speak in the mid to high range (given Miku’s voice is naturally already high)

I lowkey want to talk about my headcanons for some of the others but that would make this post wayy too long and I just needed an example. I might go off in the replies 😭

I realize that that description alone is super vauge but to be more specific, I mean like a lot of the super electropop/edm style songs that were very in during the early 2010s, specifically the ones that feature this sort of “diva/bad bitch” energy. Think masked bitch by Giga ft Gumi, Girls by Easypop ft Luka, most of anything by Umetora especially with Divine Diva (pomp and circumstance being their most popular example).

Idk if I’m being specific enough but its a very specific vibe and I wish to add more songs like that to my playlist. If ya’ll have underrated recs, please let me know (preferably with any of the following characters: luka, miku, rin, gumi, ia, or lily, as those are the characters I most like to associate with the genre) I also can’t say I’m too interested in songs featuring guys as the very specific vibe I’m looking for solely focused on female vocals
