        Worm Moon is just a name for the full moon that happens in March. Each month has one or several animals attached to the moon (usually with local significance wherever they sprung up).

        A second full moon in any of those months just adds “blue” to it. So two full moons in March would be a “Worm Moon” and a “Blue Worm Moon”.

          No, the Worm Moon is a mysterious recently discovered rogue planetoid made entirely of abominable undying worms, or, upon closer inspection, a single worm of immeasurable length knotted endlessly upon itself, currently on a stable earthbound trajectory. And it’s growing.

        “In March, the Full Moon is the Worm Moon; if it occurs on or after March 21, it is also the Paschal Moon. It is also called Lenten Moon, Crow Moon, Crust Moon, Chaste Moon, Sugar Moon, and Sap Moon.” So sayeth timeanddate dot com.

    Y’know as a fellow connoisseur of the lewd, I like to imagine that Joe is the kinda guy who can appreciate flat butts. Sure maybe it’s not his preference but butts/boobs of all sizes can have their appeal. Only the weak are hindered by such trivialities.

      (also due to Willis’ butts disease I can’t imagine anyone in the immediate vicinity of this dorm hallway has what I’d consider a flat butt.)

          I have done my research and looked through every strip with mary in it. For posterity (posteriorty?). And funny enough she is almost always drawn from the waist up. After further research however I am led to believe that your assertion may be correct.

          She does have somewhat curvy hips sometimes though.

          Also early Billie was pretty hot too. Unrelated but it came up in my research.

      We only have contextual clues, but I think Walky apparently has a good butt by canon.

      Aside from that, there’s I think Amber and Ethan with notable butts? Well Ethan’s is by word of Joyce.

        I decided that the idea of a tier list implies that there’s such a thing as a bad butt so I made them all categorical instead. Having said that unfortunately the list I made isn’t exactly comprehensive so there’s a lotta characters missing :T

        Liz would be the same tier as Joyce

        It works like this!

        Starting out, a romantic dynamic between two characters with clashing egos is fun!

        The novelty wears off after you’re exposed to it for so long, and then you need particularly good examples to stick out in your mind.

        So overdone that you never want to see one again.

        It gets to the point where you can make ironic references to this dynamic when relevant in an off-handed jokey way.

        The cliche is gone for so long that it becomes fresh again.

It’s been awhile since I’ve more seriously read up on Ugaritic and Canaanite religions (alas, w/semi dated scholarship), but this is interesting, and not in a peaceful matriarchal fantasy kind of way.

If you do a close read not only of the Bible but the archeology, it starts to look like the Israelites, & all but a couple of Judean kings, worshipped a goddess for pretty much the whole First Temple era. The implications of this are... far ranging-- & her name might not be what we've believed.
