Non Traditional Kawaii Parte Dos

60th post! Just want to say if anyone's casually reading or drops by, feel free to comment or subscribe. Consider this Part Two of my Feburary Post "Non Traditional Kawaii."

The Zombie from Zombi 2. This is an iconic image in the zombie world. The poor bugger is decomposing, but that's part of why it's so kawaii. The worms pouring out of his orbital cavity, the empty expanse of the other eye socket, and the mouth that could be considered a snarly grin.
I've always considered Gragra cute. According to EU lore, she breeds her foodstuffs in the sewers of Mos Espa. Jar Jar tries to eat one and becomes entangled, raising her ire. Her mouth looks like a smile, and the big dark eyes draw you in. She looks like a female, portly Ryuk.
If ever you find yourself in an abandoned warehouse set with traps, you wouldn't want to meet this guy. But Billy the Puppet is adorable. The little suit and the way he rides the tricycle are normally considered cute on children, but in our world, the evil puppet is cuter. He's the messenger of despair, but if you play Jigsaw's game by the rules, he's an arbiter of hope.
Michael Jackson. We can consider ourselves fans before he sadly passed away, and defended him against his detractors. The plastic surgery was gruesome, but in an odd way it worked. I'm not saying he's cute in the traditional sense, but in a tug-at-the-heart strings way. He was vulnerable, but his childlike sense of flying, magic, and wonderment was awe inspiring. He was Peter Pan, in his heart. His bizarre sense of style, his ranch of weirdness, and even the moments in the 2003 documentary were adorable. We miss you, and love you always, Michael. His message was Love, and we'll never forget. He had so much love in his heart.
