Lalo, he/she/ya, 2spirit genderfluid butch (tme). I’m Nahua Native, Jewish, Chinese, and more. I block Zionists on sight, we are not friends. I’m both a drag queen and a drag king (Leona Love and Flaco Paloma). I’m 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 that’ll show up sometimes: Community, The Good Place, Sitcoms In General, Spider-Man, Death Note, Taskmaster, and others.
Other Things To Know:
I’m not the best at tagging but if you need me to for any reason just let me know! I will occasionally post nsfw and I’ll 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 don’t respond to things it’s probably just because I am easily overwhelmed by messages.
OCS under the cut:
Okay let’s get into it! Djarn picrew for the ones I haven’t drawn in forever, my art for the ones who are more recent :). MORE IN DEPTH INFO HERE!!
RAMÓN SANTIAGO AMAL MIGUEL MONTOYA GUTIERREZ
A sad father in his 50s who is trying his best. His daughter Eva is the light of his life and he would do anything for her. He was born in Granada and was an angry punk in his teens and he’s fundamentally still an angry punk but he’s also a neurosurgeon with a family to provide for. He’s a still in love with his ex girlfriend who also loves him dearly but doesn’t want to have to try and save him. He’s getting better every day!
ANGEL ORTEZ DELGADO
She’s a Native trans girl with a little bit of a god complex except she’s genuinely celestially beloved. She keeps meeting gods and they just all genuinely find her very charming and fun. She’s 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 that’s not a lot to ask??
SCARLETT MARIA GARCIA
Impossibly sweet Central American trans girl who owns a bakery that doubles as a community center. She’s who you go to if you need something. She loves women and cats and being single and independent and calling her own shots. Ramón 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 that’s kind of none of her business.
RONALDO MARLÓN ARROYO DOMINGUEZ
Goes by Marlón. Caribbean beefcake and unflappable ray of sunshine who is actually literally descended of the gods. Just recently discovering his powers and what he’s supposed to do with them. He loves his mom and his daughter and his neighborhood. He’s 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. Doesn’t mean to be a scary guy but unfortunately just kind of is anyway because he’s 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 drive—he 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, she’s just generally in a pretty bad mood—but 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 GUZMÁN 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 he’s stuck in it. It has never once helped avoid disaster it just kind of makes it worse most of the time. She’s 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 what’ll 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.
Jonathan Joss was an Indigenous, gay man who was murdered on the first day of Pride month as well as Indigenous History Month. He died protecting his trans husband. Homophobia and racism aren’t marks of the past, and this is a heart breaking reminder of that.
Praying for a safe journey back to the spirit world, Uncle ❤️🩹🦅
Today is the anniversary of the death of Jonathan Joss (King of the Hill, Parks and Rec). Jonathan Joss was an Indigenous, gay man who died protecting his transgender husband, on the first day of Pride month. Today we remember him and how he protected his family.
I'm just going to say it - body hair (and beauty standards in general) is truly one of the final frontiers of women's issues in the West. Too many women just love their gilded cage too much. It shocks me how virulently women will defend it. I barely open my mouth and the "well I like how it feels. it just makes me feel cleaner. sensory issues. I do it for me. feminism is about choosing (to conform)." brigade come rushing in by the dozens.
Well I don't like how it feels. I don't feel cleaner without body hair. I don't prefer not having body hair. But who will advocate for women like me, but me? For women who do like hair removal, they are advocated for every time they step out of the house and see 99% of the female population also conforming to that standard, or when they watch a movie and see all the shaved actresses, or view an advertisment, or open a magazine, or watch a music video, or scroll through social media, or walk down the streets without receiving insults and glares for having a completely normal bodily feature.
You genuinely can't even point out that hairlessness is a man-made standard without women losing their shit and acting like they are totally immune to propaganda they've been exposed to from birth. I'm so tired.
an easy going, light-hearted, upbeat poem about the fall of empires. transcription under the cut
A Poem About Something Cheerful For Once
An empire, on average, lasts 250 years
And a mere 319 miles from where I’m sitting right now
There lives a tree that first began its creep up from the dirt
Somewhere around 4,857 years ago
If you’re keeping count and doing the math
This means that Methusala
The tree, so named for the 969 year old
Biblical grandfather to Noah
(The one with the ark)
Has outlived most empires nearly 20 times over
There are older organisms on this continent still
Clonal colonies of aspen and chaparral
Beings that have known both stillness and war
Times of joy and sorrow
Watched life after life blossom and wilt
And persevered through it all
Outliving empire
Standing tall still
While the facade crumbles away
Doesn’t it feel so close
You could almost reach out and grasp it?
Methusala and I have been living
Together in this post-apocalypse
Biding our time
Breathing free in the fresh mountain air
And should either of us fall before the empire dies
Use the tinder of our spirits
To light a fire they cannot snuff out
personally I am of the opinion that vegans who are like “the way our food system currently works under capitalism on a large scale is exceptionally cruel to all animals including humans and is not sustainable, so I’m doing what I can to make the most ethical choices available to me about what I eat and encourage others to do the same” are generally very reasonable people who I agree with in spades. but vegans who seem to think human beings are not themselves animals who are ultimately also part of the food chain but instead some kind of other paternalistic higher entity that can never engage in ethical and sustainable hunting practices (and especially the fringe I’ve seen who think other carnivorous animal predators are also evil and need to be eliminated) are people I regard as foolish at best if not actively anti-indigenous and racist
