[ID: A chibi doodle of the artist, who has shoulder length brown hair wearing a purple cardigan and blue jeans. They are holding up a peace sign, with one hand on her hip. Floating above her head is the grayromantic flag, which is pointed at them. The words “smells ok”, are also pointed at them. /end ID]
So recently I got an ask from a Mexican teen who shared some life experiences that put right back into perspective how brutal this kind of reaction is, even if it comes from people who feel they mean well. I’d kind of tuned that out of my brain due to force of habit over the years, but… Yeah, it does feel like that, doesn’t it.
I don’t think I’ve done proper justice to this ask at all, it’s mainly a reality it reminded me of point-blank and I encourage you to read the full thing as it’s more interesting than this, but… Yeah. I hope this was OK to draw in response, though.
