Happy -belated- 30th anniversary Super Metroid!
Made with fineliners and markers, and digitally colored
(I honestly wasn't sure if uploading new stuff here will be worthwhile, but in the meantime, I'll post some new art here from time to time)

speaking french and spanish and having non-binary pronouns is a curse
and i'm not even talking about the fact that the whole language is gendered
i'm talking about the fact that "elle" in spanish (pronounced "eyé" (?) is a gender neutral contraction of el and ella
but "elle" in french is basically "she"
So saying that my pronouns are iel/they/elle confuses french speaking people when they read it because they think that my pronouns are basically french-they/they/she and it's annoying lmao

Why do ppl care abt Latinx, like if you dont wanna use that term its fine,, Latino or Latine is also gender neutral,,, but i swear that latinx isn't our biggest problem jesus. Like why dont we focus our energy on how machismo literally protects pedophiles?? Bc a lot of latines value men over their daughters so when girls come foward they get blamed for a GROWN MAN'S actions!!! Hatred of queerness will be our downfall bc how you gonna have a melt down over a letter, grow up. And now i see fellow latinos supporting Sara Huckabee Sanders bc she banned latinx,,, like,,,, did yall forget she calls our immigrant parents criminals?? Hating latinx is just a way to lure out latin voters. Dont fall for it.

Is there a name for this? Because I'm about to start kicking the shit out of people for it.
[ID: The handshake meme with four arms clasping hands in solidarity. The arms are labeled:
"Only white people are nonbinary",
"Only white people have xenogenders"
"Only white people identify as asexual" a
nd "white people created the term 'latinx'".
End ID.]
And yes. These are all examples I've seen people use first hand. If there was a version with a 5th arm I'd have added "only white people get upset about being purposefully misgendered"
and weren't assholes trying to argue that it's okay to be a peice of shit to nonbinary people as long as you specify they're white nonbinary people, even when they're literally not doing anything wrong at all except existing in a gendered way you don't like??????

had an in depth conversation about our experiences of race and gender with one of my friend's housemates the other day while I was visiting and I'm still thinking about it. they kind of disagreed with how I see myself (as a white hispanic) for at least two reasons. the first one I would have pushed back on using the concept of optional ethnicities but we ran out of time, and the second had to do with how others see me, which is actually the same reason I identify primarily as white. like yes under gross older ideas about race I would not be considered white and there are many people today who would put me in some other category but most of the people I interact with assume I am white and treat me accordingly. it just doesn't feel like I can disclaim something that benefits me if it means claiming something else I have no connection to. not that there is no connection, but I am forever conscious of the ways in which my family has become disconnected from aspects of our ancestry, even if it was forced assimilation/attempted cultural eradication within living memory--like nuns literally beating my grandfather until he learned to speak english. I am the first generation on my mom's side to not speak spanish at all and beyond a personal loss it feels like maybe the forced assimilation really was effective and how do you undo that. that's just one example but it's just really complicated and I don't want to be seen as appropriative but also this is far from the first time someone/some institution has decided I am a person of color and it's just confusing and idk what to do in those situations.

Howdy! It's cloudy welcome welcome ☁️✨
Rowdy: out-going, unhinged, spontaneous, intense
Cloudy: serene, melancholy, calm, introverted
Rowdy and Cloudy are two characters created on the balance between the intense rowdy gal and the serene cloudy girl ☁️
Hi, I'm Adri the artist & aspiring Art Therapist here documenting my progress! This is my art blog where I post fan art, and personal projects, and talk about my overall struggles as an artist & psychology student. I'm currently 25, my pronouns are she/her, and I struggle with depression/anxiety.
I decided to "label" depression w/ cloudy & anxiety w/ rowdy bc I've noticed these are the 2 character tropes I tend to draw & relate to. Drawing has always been therapeutic for me, and I think it can help others even if you "suck at drawing". Creating art & documenting my thought process is my main goal for @rowdycloudygal and I hope to connect with you soon! :D

It's surreal that so much of my old stomping grounds are devastated in the now-officially biggest fire in Texas history, with over 1 million acres burned stretching into Oklahoma, and I've seen virtually nothing about it on here or any place else but some short pieces on MSNBC.....the lives of poor people in the rural south are just so insignificant to everyone
also a lot of the towns affected have a higher Latinx population than they do a white one, are full of minorities of all kinds (including my queer and/or disabled direct family members), and don't deserve to be blamed for the actions of the same government that helped to create the conditions for a tragedy like this
