funky island tribe featuring: fishergirl doing her usual rounds on and above sea level. the island is the dongsha atoll and the tribe (fictional) is set as a old branch of the tao people!
Hallo! Can you tell us more about Sonam Chime please?
hi :)) thank you for the ask, it made my heart do the happy wiggles
Sonam Chime (pronounced sonum chee-may in tibetan) is a half Tibetan half Han Chinese nomad! presently she's on a quest to break her mother out of terrible jail, in the midst of a nuclear winter..... under the noses of the chinese govTM.
Her mother gets arrested pretty early on(for Reasons), when Chime is still a baby teen. Her tribe just doesn't know where she's being kept.
It isn't until some years later, when a war causes the nuclear winter to happen and Chime gets separated from her family, she learns about her mother's location by getting rescued to a nunnery and receiving unexpected info from one of the novices. (how they know that is also [REDACTED] we'll get there when we get there nyehehehhe)
oh and so yeah, that actually makes Chime an ex-nun! she is Multiple and she is Many.
Her story unrolls at the point of several weeks after leaving the nunnery, so if you’ve seen some of my other art, you’re probably gonna see some unfamiliar faces besides Chime. (they are her new friends she makes (reluctantly) along the way (mostly Weird kids), and kind of unrelated considering your question, so I'll keep it debatably short and end it here)
uuh ok, one more small detail I'd like to mention!! while polyandry is more common in ancient times, nowadays there are still some families built on that foundation in rural areas of Tibet. Anyway my point is Chime’s mom has two(2) husbands, one tibetan one chinese, they are all crazily in love with each other and are all queer as fuck :) The End.
Once more, thank you sm for the ask and allowing me to ramble some stuff outta my brain tissue. i am mentally making warm tea with honey for u
and please take this pocket sized chime i never got to post as offering:)
