Hey, I'm just your usual random artist. Trying to be more consistent with posting, results vary | Mexican Indigenous | 20s

Hey, the name's Usual, URA, or Random (take your pick) and I'm a fucking lot of things, but above everything I'm a Mexican dyke (she/her).

Current obsessions are:

• Clowns

As in actual clowning, I've been dressing up with makeup and practicing routines. I know how to juggle and own a rubber chicken and bike horn. Always trying to learn more tricks.

• Goth/Punk

I quite enjoy the aesthetics of both, and with the people I hang out with there tends to be a lot of overlap between the two. Somewhat new to the cultures, but I always have a blast regardless. I'm always on the lookout to expand my wardrobe and any excuse to get into mosh pit.

• OCs and AU shit

Been crafting multiple stories and characters who live in my head rent free. Then I take my characters and just keep making aus about em because why not. Might post sketches and lore dumps, if I can ever remember to anyway.

• Music

Been starting to download mp3 files onto an external hard drive cause fuck streaming I want my tunes offline forever. My taste is incredibly varied and I just hit shuffle on so I get EVERYTHING. Just some of the stuff I have includes: Mitski, Slipknot, Los Cojolites, Selena, Rage Against The Machine, Molotov, Banda MS, Manu Chao, Bob Marley and the Wailers, La Santa Cecilia, Molotov, Panteon Rococo, Daft Punk, Queen, Miguel, Cafe Tacvba, Porter, Maldita Vencidad, Tyler The Creator, Calle 13, Jack Stauber, and so many more. Point is I fucking LOVE music and I'd probably be dead without it. ALWAYS OPEN TO MUSIC RECOMMENDATIONS I'LL PROBABLY ENJOY IT!!!!!

"how do you tell the difference between a whippet and an italian greyhound" simple. look at it head on. if it looks like a dog it's a whippet. if it's making a face like you've just threatened it with a firearm, it's an iggy

see? simple as

The fun thing about people with ocs is that you can just ask them about their ocs opinions. Like oh what would your oc say about this. What would they think. How would they tell me good night. It's great

did you know you can do anythingh with your ocs and no one can stop you.. did you know you can make aus of your ocs. you should make aus of your ocs

I crave immortality more than anything. It would fix all of my problems. Whatever pain I have would be truly and utterly temporary. There isn't much I wouldn't give up to live forever.

When you're anything like me, you'll find it really weird how most media, good or bad, takes an anti-immortality stance. Immortals are almost always villains. Immortality is portrayed as something that strips you of your identity, turns you into a monster, or more often than not, reveals the "monster you've always been within" or something cruel like that. The means of achieving immortality is always sacrificing yourself or someone else.

To me this stance reveals something deeply disturbing about the author's feelings about existence in general. It reads to me like "Existence itself is a curse, wanting more of it is wrong."

A few months ago I made a post where I basically asked the question, what's so bad about making everyone live 1000 years? It's not like anyone is forcing you to live that long, giving everyone ten times the potential lifespan can only be a good thing. And a really common answer I got was like "I don't even want to live the remaining 60-50 years I already have, 1000 is way too much" and like.. that's so sad.

That also leads me to another thought that like, we treat wanting to die as a mental illness and a sign of depression for 70 years of a person's life and then at some point we all just decide that actually, it's fine for a person of this age to talk about their death and funeral, about how they're tired of living and such.. That's deeply fucked up to me. It's unfair.

If I could live forever I would, and I hate the thought of aging and dying eventually.
