POV: Your GF invited you to la fiesta (Patreon)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDYJyKeLumA

It's the 15th of September. Your latina doomer coomer GF's family is having a party to celebrate Mexico's Independence day.

There's a lot of her family there, her parents, her 3 siblings, her two maternal grandparents, her 3 uncles, 5 aunts, all their spouses and an endless sea of cousins, they are all wearing green, white and red, or have some sort of accessory with those colors, your girlfriend welcomes you in a traditional dress, she even has the sombrero to complete the look. She looks gorgeous.

It's all in the backyard of her house, you and her family are surrounded by gray, unpainted brick walls, the wild, white plastic chairs and tables lay over the unkempt, yellowish grass. The smell of cheap beer, recently opened three liter bottle of coca-cola and freshly roasted beef spreads through the air. You sit down next to your gf to eat, in the white, disposable plate you see a good serving of orange rice, frijoles de olla, a chunky piece of bistec and some chistorra, your father-in-law was kind enough to serve you some coke in a white disposable cup, he places it near you, right next to the basket of warm tortilla, plate of lemon slices and plate of green salsa. It's hard to talk to anyone, the music coming from the cheap speak nearby is a bit loud... The mix of classic rancheras, norteñas, cumbias and other assorted mix of quintessential party songs.

After eating, everyone goes to their own little group, the moms talked about what pyramid scheme products they were selling this week and gossip, some of the younger cousins were talking about the latest Five Nights at Freddy's news and the cool new FNF mod they saw the other day, some of the older men talk about the latest soccer game and other discuss politics, or rather they complain about the government. Some of the other kids are kicking a ball around and in the distance you can hear a harsh discussions about inheritance and real estate...

You and your GF took your chairs away from the table, you can hear her now that you are a bit farther away from the music and all the talking. Eventually the real party starts. The caguamas arrive and one of the uncles is preparing micheladas, another one brought out the tequila.

The next few hours go by in a flash. Between the drinks, the desserts, all the dancing and the several dads competing to see who can tell the best joke. It's all so fun.

You and the folks are so distracted you forget what time it is, someone quickly remind everyone of the time, almost midnight, almost time for the show.

Everyone mellows out a bit, everyone goes to their own group once more as you wait for midnight, they talk, share stories, discuss topics, tell jokes. Some of the cousins decided to go outside to throw firecrackers and cherry bombs.

You and your gf talk, sitting a distance away from the rest of the family, you are comfortable, enjoying each other's companies. Then... It's time.

Midnight. The fireworks go off in the distance, The sky is illuminated by a mix of red ,white and green lights. One after another, you hear the booms in the distance as the wonderful light show goes on.

Your GF is a bit tipsy, but she looks happy and bubbly, she's been taking sips from a caguama, you didn't think it was enough to get her like that. She says she doesn't want to forget this moment, she asks you to take a picture as the fireworks go off, a picture of her.

You immediately agree. You don't want to forget this moment either.

You positioned yourself to take the picture, she poses, crossing her leg and giving a cute little peace sign. You take the picture with your phone, a beautiful little moment you'll make sure to treasure... She keeps the pose still, not realizing you took the photo since there's no flash... You noticed her shoe slipped. She's not wearing any socks. She gives you a stare as she spreads her toes. She knows what you like, this is no accident.

You have a feeling she wants to give you another whole thing to remember.

Woah, another drawing so soon? That's right! Did this one in the background as I finish up some commissions. Out of the blue I felt a little patriotic and wanted to celebrate my country's independence day.

This is based on a random doomer girl wojak I saw the other day, I have a soft spot for a particular Doomer wojak so I decided to do something cute with it.

I also went all out in the story, knowing all the parties I've been to... I wanted to write something that invoked nostalgia for people with similar experiences with mexican family parties. I really wanted to write something like that in hopes of getting rid of this grim feeling I have within me, that one day I won't have experiences like these anymore, something will happen to me that'll make it impossible. I'm afraid of not being able to experience these happy moments anymore. You know what they say about good times, right? Good times never last.

But anyways, I hope you guys enjoy the drawing. Happy celebrations to all my mexican compatriots out there.

You guys get to see it a bit early and have some textless alts! 

More coming soon c:
