Lalo, he/she/ya, 2spirit genderfluid butch (tme). Iām Nahua Native, Jewish, Chinese, and more. I block Zionists on sight, we are not friends. Iām both a drag queen and a drag king (Leona Love and Flaco Paloma). Iām 28 and engaged and we have a very cute boyfriend! I will just kind of post about whatever here, including my own drag, art, writing (fic) and poetry!
Fandoms:
DnDads, Dropout/D20, Hey Riddle Riddle, Drawfee, Drag Race. Occasional McElroy and Try Guys enjoyment. I love a lot of other stuff thatāll show up sometimes: Community, The Good Place, Sitcoms In General, Spider-Man, Death Note, Taskmaster, and others.
Other Things To Know:
Iām not the best at tagging but if you need me to for any reason just let me know! I will occasionally post nsfw and Iāll try to always at least tag that. I am a real genuine clown for money irl so I am friendly and down to be approached about whatever, but I am also a very tired disabled person and very pissed of queer/trans/racialized person of conscience so like please be cool and if I donāt respond to things itās probably just because I am easily overwhelmed by messages.
OCS under the cut:
Okay letās get into it! Djarn picrew for the ones I havenāt drawn in forever, my art for the ones who are more recent :). MORE IN DEPTH INFO HERE!!

He was born in Granada and was an angry punk in his teens and heās fundamentally still an angry punk but heās also a neurosurgeon with a family to provide for. Heās a still in love with his ex girlfriend who also loves him dearly but doesnāt want to have to try and save him. Heās getting better every day!
ANGEL ORTEZ DELGADO
Sheās a Native trans girl with a little bit of a god complex except sheās genuinely celestially beloved. She keeps meeting gods and they just all genuinely find her very charming and fun. Sheās kind of a troublemaker but that seems to be cosmically fine if not encouraged? All she wants is to be utterly adored and worshipped and she feels like thatās not a lot to ask??
SCARLETT MARIA GARCIA
Impossibly sweet Central American trans girl who owns a bakery that doubles as a community center. Sheās who you go to if you need something. She loves women and cats and being single and independent and calling her own shots. RamĆ³n is her ex and she adores him and his daughter and will always be in their lives but would never even consider getting back together with him. A lot of people are in love with her but thatās kind of none of her business.
RONALDO MARLĆN ARROYO DOMINGUEZ
Goes by MarlĆ³n. Caribbean beefcake and unflappable ray of sunshine who is actually literally descended of the gods. Just recently discovering his powers and what heās supposed to do with them. He loves his mom and his daughter and his neighborhood. Heās a local healer/curandero and is just generally regarded as an excellent guy.
BUTCH
Just Butch. Dodgy introverted flower shop owner slash actual eldritch god. Doesnāt mean to be a scary guy but unfortunately just kind of is anyway because heās lived lifetimes incomprehensible to the average human he encounters. He loves lizards and bugs and generally regards most earth fish as very distant cousins. He is terrified of cats. He ended up on Earth by accident and thanks to a ritual gone wrong is just kind of stuck here. His current major goal is to learn how to driveāhe can teleport, he just thinks it looks fun.
ISMENE
Not very nice. Generally jaded. Immortal Arctic siren who was banned from the sea for falling for a human and then also lost her human. Cursed to walk a world she hates without her beloved, sheās just generally in a pretty bad moodābut maybe trying to adapt to the surface? She works at a fish market in a port town and might try to date again soon.
COATL MATEO GUZMĆN ESPINOZA
Nahua She/He Divination Wizard who finds a way to feel guilty about EVERYTHING. Seeing the future sucks and she wishes she could stop but heās stuck in it. It has never once helped avoid disaster it just kind of makes it worse most of the time. Sheās hopelessly in love with his boyfriend Jian who is a weird mean genius that adores her.
JIAN FLORES-LIN
Guatemalan Chinese chaos twink who loves math and his partner and the fucking party. Secretly deep down just wants to be an artist and instead went into finance to make his family happy. Trying to figure out whatāll actually make him happy. Eloquence Bard with a silly little complex.
HUGENE HANDSOME
Half Orc with two loving gay dads who met playing on rival football teams. 5 levels fighter 2 levels bard. A big strong guy who loves the theater and performing and being on stage. Also loves his friends and his family and is generally liked by most people he meets. Hates like 4 people total but they keep all being in the same room as each other. Might get back together with his toxic ex.
Whoās your favorite character in Kaos? I really loved their take on Eurydice I thought she was a very interesting person
VERY much my answer as well, I really really loved the way they told her story and how much it deviated from the original myth. Was also a huge fan of Dionysus!
I feel like Iāve been noticing my tolerance for rambunctious children starting to get much lower as I age and I really hate that. like I know Iām never going to be an āI hate kidsā type of person due to both personal and political convictions of mine but I also really donāt even like the version of myself thatās becoming more easily annoyed with them because I did used to have a truly endless well of tolerance in that area. maybe I just need to be spending more time around kids, currently all my little cousins are either grown or they have transphobic parents so I donāt get to see them. but there truly was a time in my life when I was caring for children nearly every day.
What kind of characters do you wish you saw more of in media/popular stories? What kind of characters do you wish you could see less of?
Oh this is kind of tough, I feel like thereās such a long list tbh but also simultaneously I feel like I donāt necessarily go into media with like a checklist of character types Iām looking for?
I feel like disabled characters are rarely allowed to be multiply disabled and theyāre also so frequently white. This is something I talk about with my creative partner a lot because our work focuses around disability and weāre both multiply disabled people of color lol.
I mean the easy answer is also queer Natives. I kind of hate-watch CBS Ghosts and Sasappis kind of haunts my thoughts constantly when it comes to Native representation. Heās the one Native character on the show and I feel like heās frequently under utilized in the ensamble cast and the storylines they give him kind of suck. But more to the point I think I really want him to be gay but thereās already a gay character on the show so I guess they feel like they canāt also make the Native guy gay.
I think Iād love to see more multi-racial characters that arenāt specifically bi-racial, there are some unique experiences associated with coming from 3 or more cultures that I donāt see represented a lot.
I guess I think my general answer to this question is just: characters that live at the intersection of multiple different experiences. There was that very mean shitty meme going around a few years ago of the āsolo poly hijabi amputeeā that sort of exemplified this idea that characters who are queer AND disabled AND non-white etc are like inherently unrealistic and clearly only exist for like ādiversity pointsā or whatever other cynical bullshit people say. And Iām sure itās true that there can be versions of such characters that are poorly executed. But like as a physically disabled autistic Chinese Native Jewish polyamorous transgender butchā¦ Iām also just like some person living a relatively normal and mundane life. People like me exist and itās not unrealistic to say that we also deserve to have our stories told in a way that treats us like full people and not quirky side characters.
As far as characters I could see less ofā¦ gosh I really donāt feel like anything is RUSHING to mind. Like thereās the flippant funny āstraight white menā and thereās maybe a grain of truth to that. I watched pitch perfect with a friend the other day (sheās going through a breakup and itās her comfort movie) and was truly blown away by how completely irrelevant the male love interest was. Like you could have cut him from the movie entirely and the story would barely change. It genuinely would make me crack up sometimes when theyād cut to him and I had truly completely forgotten he was part of the narrative.
I guess for me likeā¦ when it comes to queer characters or characters of color, thereās nobody who is SO represented right now that Iām like āyeah thereās enough of thatā. Like personally I feel like if a piece of media has a Native woman in it itās like really likely that sheāll be likeā¦ tough and a little emotionally closed off and kind of tomboyish? And like Iād rather there be diversity in how Native women are being represented, but if my choice were to be between that archetype and no Native women, Iād rather she at least be present in the story at all.
Maybe final answer would be trans man whoās like super shy and has no game. I guess I typically see this type of character in like coming of age type stuff so I GET it, but Iād love a little justice for the boys who can in fact pull.
what are some good movies/shows to watch that youāve seen recently? :)
Oh my god Iāve been in this weird slump where Iāve like only been watching YouTube recently itās genuinely terrible.
As far as somewhat recent movies go, my fiance and I REALLY love Love Hurts. Very cheesy kung-fu romcom that came out on Valentineās Day a couple years ago. Ke Huy Quan is the lead and if you liked him in EEAAO heās like SUPER charming in this. I donāt know if itās necessarily a GOOD movie like I donāt think itās gotten great ratings but I think itās an absolute blast.
I feel like itās been so long since Iāve watched like new TV. Itās long been cancelled but I do gotta recommend Grand Crew, itās a really delightful ensamble sitcom following a Black friend group in LA. I also got really into This Fool a while back. All my favorite shows got cancelled after 2 seasons. Except for Kaos which I also watched recently and got cancelled after 1 š I think this is an older series but I also really enjoyed The Resort!
wait i also have a question. whats ur favourite candy :3c
ooooh gosh I donāt know if I have like one concrete one? My step grandfather was Swedish and he got me into Daim which is like chocolate covered almonds and caramel. Anything thatās like chocolate based I like also need to have nuts or toffee or something crunchy.
I also really love sour candy, I am on a constant quest to find the sourest candies possible.
hey you said to send you asks so im taking that as permission to show you my beloved dani moonstar bc i love her and that was the only thing i could think of sending
She seems SO awesome I gotta get into x-men it seems
How did you become so smart and cool and correct all of the time?
Lmao this is very sweet!
I mean I do feel like the real actual answer to this question that other people can in fact do too is by being okay with also being wrong a lot of the time both publicly and privately. Like both in my past and presently and probably again in the future. Iāve changed my stances on a lot of things over the years and intend to keep doing so when I need to. I feel like the things that I feel really firm in are so settled for me because Iāve been open to reading opinions I donāt agree with and continuing to question my stances and where they come from and why. So Iām glad to hear I come across that way, thank you!
I love tumblr more than IG bc IG feels like Iām posting looking for a job but on here itās like I already lost the job and my wife and the house and Iām just sitting on the curb talking to myself
Speaking of Wildhood (2021)... have you heard about Bretten Hannam's latest project?
The trailer for Sk+te'kmujue'katik (At the Place of Ghosts) just recently released and I am SO excited for it you have no idea!!!
The dangers of the past come in many forms. Two estranged Mi'kmaw siblings confront old animosities in an ancient forest, both in desperate need of healing. In their quest to rid themselves of the lingering evil that haunts them, they encounter the trail of their ancestorsāand of their former selves.
