Warped Me

There's something undeniably great about the cartoon warping of the body. I used to love using the many face-warping filters of photobooth all the time, and of course I love the potion seller. We all do.

The pull of this simple re-constituting of one's face is eternal, and it's for that reason that I have drawn my beautiful new form today. I found a TikTok filter that turns your face all eyes and lips, and the joy I find in this version of myself is immense. Who is she? I love her. She's me.

I think, in a way, this is my true and ultimate form. The complete re-shuffling allows for an ideal self to storm through. There is a great authenticity in the falsifying of the body. I am my own gorgeous avatar, the closest thing to the recreation of a Bratz doll I can reach, through the rudimentary art of streeeeeeetching out my facial features. There is something expressive in this great configuration.

And it's just... cute.

I am the big head now. Behold my gaze.
