Who can sail without wind? Who can row without oars? Who can be parted from their friend without shedding tears?

more fanart under the cut :)

First one has got lyrics from Vem kan segla förutan vind, there are tons of versions but I'd suggest the one by Cumulus. The only other lyrics in this are from El hombre que yo amo by Myriam Hernández, @funnyhatmen made a BANGER edit to that song which inspired my drawing!!!! Check it the fuck out y'all!!!!!!!!!!

We need to get Hodge in on weird movie™-puppetry-musicals, believe me there's got to be a movie that's as weird as talking to him feels like

Visually impressive and ideologically inoffensive (he's not examing his biases critically)
