Wow. This can go wrong so many ways.
really? I can only see the one. then again, I can also see modest pulling off a bob cut
really? I can only see the one. then again, I can also see modest pulling off a bob cut….hmm…
Oh no. This can’t end well.
NOOO!!! DON’T DO THAT!!!!
MUTILATION IS NEVER THE ANSWER
Okay…. When I mentioned snake amputation I sure didn’t want this. 8(
I knew once everyone was talking about cutting her hair this was going to come up but I’ll say it again Modest is a hydra and if you’ve seen Hercules or any Captain America movie then you know what happens next
Oh, Modest, no!
Oh gosh, Jake don’t you know you can’t let kids play with sharp stuff. Jeez.
Well shoot…
(Also I’m not sure if this is intentional, but the snake that looks worried seems thicker than the other ones.)
Not intentional.
Shears? This can’t be good.
no, Modest NO! put it back right now!
That face is priceless
Kids cutting their own hair always make such a mess of it.
No, Modest! BAD idea!
Also, did her snakes bite Marah? I forgot.
NO
NOOOOOO! Self-harm is never the answer, even if you have snakes that can bite people!
Oh dear. She may be taking this a little far. I don’t know what will happen to her is she cuts one of those off. She likely hasn’t thought of the blood loss.
No sweetie, self harm is never the way to go!! Tell Jake what’s going on, and maybe you guys can figure a different way. 3:
Oh… oh my God…
This page really surprised me.
Woah… Modest, nooooooo
Now now Modest! Let’s not do anything hasty with those clippers!
(I doubt she’s thinking of gardening eh?)
Is she… gonna do what I think she is?
Tame that wild, unruly hair with a new haircut!
Please tell me she’s not looking into a career in cosmetology…
Modest, no!
WOAH WOAH WOAH! SLOW DOWN
The little girl has decided she wants a haircut.
When did Marah get bitten by the hair?
Of course, this is just a fake out.
Right?
…right?
…I approve of this action.
She was due for a trim.
Noooooooooooooo don’t do it!!
I think I know what Modest is planning to do with those clippers, and at least one of her snakes already has an inkling of an idea, and it probably won’t work. A hair cut is only going to make things worse, and is probably not the end-all solution she is hoping for. . .
MODEST NOOOO
not only would that be painful and dangerous, you might end up with more snakes than before!
No no no no no NO, MEDUSA! Please don’t cut off your hair snakes! 🙁
Poor thing must be so broken up inside…
Oh my… That’s worrisome…
oh
OH
0-100 REAL DANG QUICK
If she thinking of doing what I think she plans to do, those snakes might turn on her, this could turn very dark indeed.
I hadn’t thought of… oh man. But really, lobotomizing them might actually work
We have absolutely no idea how this relationship works. If the prince is to be believed, the hair is the main body and she’s the side bit in the long run. Doing this could just wind up killing everyone involved.
Or… Maybe chopping the snakes off will prevent one of them from eventually taking over.
right, so it might be important to keep them alive but.. not concious..might be the equivalent of neutering the octopus so it lives longer
And the twist is that when Modest is upset she likes to do yard work.
If that was the case her snake hair would not be confused, but that would be hilarious xD!
Darn it, Kevin, I was going to tell that joke. 🙁
So this begs the question – what happens if the dominant snake of a medusa (yeah I know, but this simplifies it) gets cut off?
I better not catch you running with those shears, young lady. You could put your eye out.
The smart one know what’s going on…
I’ve already got bitten by (my own included) dogs lots of time and I think they might be far worse than poisonless snakes, I mean, snake might bite in self defense once or twice, the fang just penetrate the skin, while dogs actually try to rip of your hand, leading to worse scars and bruises 😛
Cut my snakes into pieces, this is my last resort.
This got really dark really quickly o_o
I see a lot of comments based on Greek mythology but Modest comes from Yeld mythology. Perhaps by making bad choices which are acted out by the hair the Medusa tends to want to cut off to remove that part of herself but in doing so this brings her closer to being one snake and not a person with more snake hair.
Anyways, kids cutting their own hair always leads to a disastrous look.
