Hello, everyone :D It's finally happening... I'm moving blogs! This is mostly to clear clutter and properly tag my things. I'm basically doing an overhaul over on that account, which includes Selena and her story :)

I won't be posting here anymore, but I'll occasionally be online to look at old posts for a few story details regarding Selena. This post will be pinned to make sure everyone is aware :)

See you guys on the other blog!

P1p2:my olnf mc Astie

P3:my olba mc Salvador

I failed to make up a background story for them because my mind was so blank. I’m thinking about making Astie a Latino but find it difficult because of the lack of knowledge:(

Quick reminder regarding these fairytale pieces: The last day I'll take requests for them is Friday, June 5th (which is tomorrow!) After that, I'll be on my regularly scheduled shenanigans :D A big thank you to everyone who has allowed me to draw their MCs for this mini project. You guys bring these projects to life, and I'm very grateful for it :)

A few of my favorite photos I've taken of my cat to celebrate her birthday :D I made her a very messy cake out of Churus, and she ate it before I could take a photo. I also bought an actual cake for me and my siblings. Mostly for fun and to let her blow out a candle. She didn't eat that cake, no worries.

Here's to more years with my wonderful cat :D

Happy pride AGAIN LMAO 🌈🌈

Some TW like implied misogyny and everything that femicide encompasses

I'm not someone who usually does this, but sometimes it's good to share things.

I am a closeted or part-closeted trans man, I live my life under a name that doesn't represent me and with pronouns that don't even describe me, in a country that destroys itself with each passing day, doing things I won't name to those of us born with a uterus.

I live with the fear that one day I won't make it home, but there's nothing I can do about it, Luckily, I can find refuge in certain things, like drawing or OLNF, and I've met many people in recent months whom I consider my friends to this day.

This month will be like any other month for many, but for me it's special not only because it's my birthday but also because I can feel proud of who I am and who I will be. Don't be afraid to experiment. If you have doubts, don't be ashamed to investigate. It's okay to feel that way, and if others call you a slur, you have to understand that they're just words, words that were invented to hurt you, words that will never represent who you are.

This isn't just for queer people, but also for POCs, immigrants, natives, Latinos—this is for everyone.

That others think you are of lower status or that they can trample on you simply because you are of a certain ethnicity, that you like the same gender, that you hate your sex, that you were born to immigrants, no one deserves to be looked down upon for being "different" from the norm.

Happy pride for everyone here!! We all deserve our sunshine!!

I've got good and bad news today. It's my cat's birthday tomorrow! :D I'm making her a birthday cake :0

The bad news is, unfortunately, about my whole coming out yesterday. I really don't want to make a big deal out of it. There's a few paragraphs about it under the cut, but don't feel the need to read them :)

So... it didn't go well. For context, I came out to my parents as well as one of my friends. I'm still alive, and I have a roof over my head, so it definitely could've gone worse. I just got the regular spiel about me marrying someone who wasn't a man was the worst stain I could leave on the family, and that this is what happens when we don't go to church consistently. It sucked, but I, honestly, expected this response.

The worst part was coming out to my friend, unfortunately. For even more context, my friend is bi, and she's been out for years. It's why I, initially, felt comfortable coming out to her. Well, I guess I was wrong because she asked me: 'are you sure?' after I told her everything. She even went as far as to ask me if I was only pan because I couldn't find a man who would love me. She asked if I was just expanding my options rather than staying in my lane. Safe to say, we aren't friends anymore.

I wasn't going to talk about this because of everything my parents and my friend said. It really got to me, and I even thought they might've been right about me. I don't think that right now, but I can't say there isn't a little voice in the back of my head who believes them. BUT I'm okay right now, really :D

Here are the flat colors along with the rough sketch of the first MC fairytale: Chae-Yi from @disastersdreamer as the Little Mermaid :D

I'll be going with my typical lineless style, but I wanted to post a progress photo, so the presentation is clear! It'll always have the caption of: "Once upon a time, there was a __".

I shall return with the final product probably tomorrow :D

Here's an old concept reference of Nene's single father as opposed to a single mother in a non-Opal universe as I start my work on my fairytale pieces :D

This is Xihuitl, Nene's adopted father. They, honestly, look nothing alike, but people have told them they have the same smile. When Xihuitl adopted her, it was less about them looking alike, and more about if she was comfortable enough around him.

Being the eldest child of the family, Xihuitl got a lot of pressure from his parents about getting married and settling down. He gets away with being single for a long while because of Xiloxoch, honestly. She had two kids, and Xihuitl helped raise both of them. His excuse to his parents was that he was too busy helping Xiloxoch. What a good brother he is!

Of course, he does, eventually, decide to adopt a child. Emiliano and Ilhuitl were too cute as kids, so he was convinced. And boom, he meets Nene at an orphanage. Like I said, he chose her, not because they looked alike, but because she was so comfortable around him.

As a father, Xihuitl is very carefree and affectionate. You can't get through a conversation with him without a mention of Nene. He has one of those photo strips in his wallet, and he shows it off whenever he can. Every little thing Nene has ever accomplished and created end up framed and kept safe. He can be a little overbearing at times, especially since Nene is his only kid (for now). Xiloxoch helps him move out of that mindset, but it does take time.
