New Mexico enchants his way into the family!
Wow, he's here! He's a very quiet and kind of standoff-ish person who really opens up to close friends and family, as seen with Cali and Nevada. He is the cowboy ever and is the token big brother of the western states because I said so. He and texas have a very long and weird history, so they really don't get along very well.
Has??? A weird amount of knowledge on nuclear science??? Kinda funky but ok. He is also a firm believer in aliens. Moreso than Nevada, that's for sure. He's still mad about Rosewell.
Some design things! His white streak is a reference to White Sands National Park! The patterns on his jeans and hat are inspired by Navajo beading as there is a large Navajo population there. His ring is made of trinitite which is a glassy leftover of nuclear testing in deserts. His belt has silver plates like Concho belts, which is a popular style of silver-smithing in Navajo culture.
ALSO!!
I'm trying to come up with a name for him but I've hit a block in my research and also want to hear what y'all have to say! If you're interested look under the cut!
So some base notes, he's Navajo-Latino and has a sun motif. The sun thing is mainly because of the state flag, I just think it's neat. So Sun-themed names are what I was going for but don't have to be the end-game.
But I cannot decide if he should have a Navajo first name and a Latino surname? Or visa-versa?
While doing research on Navajo naming conventions and how to go about naming characters I got a lot of mixed answers. And I'm very confused because a lot of Native American people, from different cultures and Navajo, said that if they're younger they might have a Navajo name as a way to show pride in their culture. And if they are older they would most likely have an anglicized name because they were not allowed to have a Navajo name. But New Mexico is actually older than the other western states, so that pretty solidly places him Pre-Europe and therefore he would most likely have a full Navajo name? But I don't want to completely glance over his Latino side either, so I'm worried I'm getting too deep on one side.
Idk, I'm opening the floor, if you have any insight or resources to share I would greatly appreciate it! <3

He's either retelling his life story or mansplaining baseball or something - I can't decide.
This is my first time posting art on social media, so I have no fucking clue what I'm doing. I'm nervous as hell, but I'm a big boy wearing my big boy pants, so I WILL put this out there. Will this get likes? Probably not. Did I have fun making this? Fuck yeah. Enjoy 💥

What’s the whole idea behind the Farmer Leo AU? What’s the in-universe backstory? Very curious
Haha I'll be honest I have no lore for Cowboy/Farmer Leo. He's just a simple guy rustling up some cattle.
Now if you wanna talk about TRUCKER Leo, I have a whole headcanon lore about this bad boy (originally created by @giantrobotslug)! I'll get a Trucker trend going yet, haha!
He's just so silly, how could I not hyper-fixate?

one thing i love about minthara is how she clearly has a lot of respect and admiration for karlach specifically in regards to her life being cut short from the whole chest bomb situation, but then this is what she has to say about gale
