Hey there, fellow goblins and curious humans! Merkle here, ready to stir the pot a bit and talk about something that’s been bugging me lately: beauty standards.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I appreciate a good glow-up as much as the next goblin. But have you noticed how, in the world of fantasy and beyond, it’s always the witches, the vampires, the elves who get to be the glamorous ones? They’re all flowing hair, sparkling eyes, and ethereal beauty. Meanwhile, us goblins? We’re usually portrayed as the grumpy, warty, green-skinned sidekicks.

It’s like the message is clear: beauty equals power, and power equals being someone other than yourself.

Well, I’m here to tell you that’s a load of mushroom compost!

Goblins are beautiful in our own way. We’re earthy, resilient, and full of life. We have sharp minds, clever hands, and a deep connection to the natural world. And yes, we might have a few more wrinkles or a slightly greener complexion, but that’s just part of our charm!

So, next time you see a witch casting a spell or a vampire sparkling in the sunlight, remember that there’s beauty to be found in the shadows too. Embrace your inner goblin, warts and all, and let your true self shine!

Here are a few goblin-approved tips for embracing your unique beauty:

• Celebrate your quirks: Those pointy ears? That mischievous grin? Those nimble fingers? They’re all part of what makes you special. Own them!
• Find your style: Forget about trying to fit into someone else’s mold. Experiment with colors, textures, and accessories that make you feel confident and express your personality.
• Connect with nature: Spend time in the woods, the mountains, or your own backyard garden. Let the natural world inspire you and remind you of your own wild beauty.
• Surround yourself with positive goblins: Find friends and community who appreciate you for who you are, not for who they want you to be.

Remember, beauty isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being authentically you. So let’s ditch those unrealistic beauty standards and start celebrating the glorious diversity of the goblin world – and the human one too!
