Handala (حنظلة) is a symbol of Palestinian resistance. He was created in 1969 by political cartoonist Naji al-Ali, critical of Israel as well as Arab regimes.

Handala is 10 years old, the age Naji was when he was forced to leave his home during the 1948 Nakba, and is always seen from his turned back. Today, Handala is still 10 years old. On the day Handala is able to return home, he will then grow up and be seen from the front.

Naji died on August 29, 1987, victim of an assassination. Naji lives on through Handala.

hyuna x luka from alien stage got their chokehold on me, not gonna be normal about this for next few months folks.. i think these also faces i finally enjoy drawing again after few years feel stagnant about my character art 😭

i feel like the very specific way in which luka uses "my saviour" in ruler of my heart has to be some sort of taunt to hyuna.

my theory/headcanon is that as a kid, she'd play the knight in shining armor, "rescuing" luka, her damsel in distress. then later on, maybe when they were both in alien stage for the first time, despite what he'd done, she reached out to him. promised that she'd get them both out of here, again playing the saviour.

ruler of my heart is very clearly meant for hyuna, in some way. and the two-time winner of alien stage, still thoroughly trapped, taunting the woman trying to bring the whole system down with "my saviour", almost looking at her and saying "well, go on, then. come and save me." is a very luka-like thing to do.

i'm just so intrigued by the idea of luka as someone who just. doesn't have the strength to fight against the system he's trapped in. so instead he plays into it, he plays the game to win the game in hopes of keeping himself safe. and hyuna is the polar opposite of that, abandoning the game entirely, actively fighting to change the system. luka sees her rebellion as useless delusion, he thinks there's no saving any of them, he's given in entirely, and so he sees the fact that hyuna hasn't saved him yet as proof of that.

so he taunts her with it. "my saviour, pitiful lady."
