["Weird" "Girl"]

It's a shame that this can be screamed from the highest of hilltops and it'd still fall on deaf ears. The beauty standard and religious norms have been so irreparably ingrained into some communities that women become the harshest judges of each other, mostly out of manufactured insecurity.

The fact that certain tribal cultures believe something such as a longer neck lengthened with a metal coil is attractive goes to show the arbitrary nature of the beauty standard.

Lastly, this reminded me of the song "Weird Girl" by Mommy Long Legs. Great tune.

handofdog responds:

It may seem hopeless, but if it catches even one person, that's worth it. In general, hopefully as time goes on, more and more girls will reject the things that harm them and look at them the same way we view lobotomies.

I don't know. Anyway, song is cute, reminds me of Daria era.

[Three Kids]

Add a fourth one and you got Weezer.

[Grieving Goblin]

I'm sorry for your loss. Your grandmother is probably looking down at you now, beyond grateful that you've managed to make a gorgeous piece derived from such dark emotions. Your creativity is boundless and impressive. On a side note, it's shameful that many still refuse to take Covid seriously when it can lead to disastrous health outcomes and chronic conditions.

ZanMiller responds:

Thank you very much :) It is a shame they didn't take it seriously. Hate to see it really. Oh well

[Goodbye]

Two handofdog posts in the same day? Blessed.

handofdog responds:

The pages and this stuff was mostly already done/sitting on back burner. I just took break for mental health reasons.

[mandy or handy?]

Wow, they're practically identical! Five stars.

[Villain Origin Story]

The sheer villainy of decimating, decapitating, and deforming a man into an origami just for the fuck of it.

handofdog responds:

Lol, that dead blob is me.

[Uh-huh]

Can't take this freakazoid anywhere bruh...💔

[Sea Creature Brawl!!! (Art Collab)]

Insane effort and creativity.

[I hope for it to rain.]

Holy smokes, that's a big-ass umbrella! He can't be complaining when it's practically designed to fit two people. Maybe even three, if they're comfortable being shoulder-to-shoulder.

[salve]

Is this hinting to the return of Doctor? I love that character. He seems trustworthy, but the dialogue at the end of the "Never Touch!" entry made it sound as if he was colluding with someone... This development has me on the edge of my frickin' seat.
