I like stuff and draw things

COMMISSIONS CLOSED (for now)

Honestly just excited to be here. I'm a Hispanic, bi, non-binary, self-taught artist, burlesque dancer, and witch. I can't really list any favorite things because ND object impermanence. But I do enjoy talking to people and taking commissions when I have the energy, so drop me a line!

I feel like there's a lot of layers to the scene in Barbie where they're doing the "glasses reveal" bit and the fact that it's a trans woman acting for that part. I may also be overthinking it. But I am not equipped with the experiences I think are necessary to really go into this because, again, I might just be overthinking it.

It's probably also worth viewing and examining Barbie through the lens of sex work. Especially given the lines in "What Was I Made For:"

I was an ideal
Looked so alive, turns out I'm not real
Just something you paid for

Like the objectification is an obvious stance to take and it's still worth addressing, but I feel like there's probably a lot more that could be gleaned from such a perspective. Which, again, I'm not really equipped to do that because I don't have the experience to inform an attempt to do so, but it's something I would really like to read.
