#It's More Fun In The Philippines

[beccalachuchi]

Right before the pandemic hit the globe, Luzon in the Philippines suffered from a volcano eruption that caused ashfall in several provinces. A bunch of Filipino artists got together to raise funds by selling a zine and illustrated postcards. We each chose a beloved tourist spot in the Philippines. Here's mine: Vigan, Ilocos Sur. It was a memorable time of mask-wearing and community initiatives that, kinda eerily, preceded the pandemic. We worked so hard to release it during Feb 2020 Komiket, on top of our own con preparations. It's one of the reasons that that Komiket will always be memorable to me.

“I want you to grovel — to beg,” Minty’s voice was a low growl, eyes sharp.

Marina blinked a few times before narrowing her eyes. “Excuse me?”

Minty’s grip on her shoulder tightened, fingers digging into bony flesh. “You heard me. Grovel. If you want to win me back, prove you deserve it.”

“I don’t beg,” Marina replied after a moment, hands coming to rest on the outside of Minty’s thighs.

Clicking her tongue as she dug her nails into Marina’s shoulder hard enough to make her hiss out in pain, Minty looked down with a raised brow. “A shame. Maybe I’ll go back to that bar, then. Invite the bartender back. Or go find that French slut and show her how I was always better in bed than you. Find someone who will worship me properly.”

Marina's nostrils flared, seeing red for a moment as her grip on Minty’s thighs tightened. There would be bruises come morning, but she couldn’t be bothered to care. “Nobody else touches you; you’re mine,” she hissed, glaring up at Minty through her lashes.

idk how to explain to people that the reason i haven't been online much is because the school i go to has barely any signal and the home i live in currently also doesn't really have any good signal and there is/was a typhoon passing through the country so it made the signal problem worse, so the only time i could get signal was when i went out on the weekends, but there's been a shit ton of smog in my area recently, either from the abnormally active volcano nearby or from the horrible pollution, both of which render the air quality unhealthy, meaning i get sick more easily because i'm either inhaling sulfur dioxide from the ashfall OR i'm inhaling sulfur dioxide from the pollution, meaning i'm stuck inside my house with horrible signal for most of the day

and the typhoon that is/was passing through the country means that it's also been raining quite a bit recently, and rain + sulfur dioxide = acid rain, meaning i REALLY can't go outside, meaning no signal for me. ever.

also, even when i Can go outside, it's usually just to run errands. obviously it's not advised to go outside if it's not necessary, so i only ever go out when i need to do my groceries or something like that, which means the only time i can get signal is also the one and only time in the entire week when all i do for 2 hours is cross a bunch of streets, run down supermarket aisles, try not to let my wallet get stolen, and then walk back home. none of which are activities that i can do while also diverting part of my attention to scrolling or messaging on my phone

so yk like if i could explain all that in like 1 or 2 sentences that would be great. it's just that if i say "the whole goddamn country (including me) is in a crisis rn srry" and it hasn't reached world news yet, it almost sounds like a non-issue (or just a straight-up lie) if i use it as an excuse

Re: Abuse and the lack of self-awareness from "liberals" who usurp "social identities" as a way to CLOAK THEIR BIGOTRY

#ya know how autism is a spectrum#NPD is also a spectrum#except there have been over 50+ years of studies on NPD also as a CULTURAL PHENOMENA#it is a direct PSYCHOLOGICAL “result” of coloniality#and when people think it's “ableist” to IDENTIFY an abusive person's behavior as “narcissistic” - YALL essentially are DEFENDING ABUSE!#systemic abuse!!!!#I was a behavior technician before#the difference between those who need ASSISTANCE in the BASIC function of societal interactions VS. those in the “higher function” spectrum#NOT the same as NPD where those in the “higher spectrum” are more likely to be MALEVOLENT#it is NOT ableism to call out an abusive person for being NARCISSISTIC#reminds me of a friend who used to say “kids today are BETTER PEOPLE than KIDS in the past”#and I was like MY MOM WAS BORN IN 1944 AND MY DAD in 1933 AND THEY never adhered to heteronormativity#ive met YOUNG KIDS TODAY in their early 20s who are all about ~lgbt~ but would perpetuate HETERONORMATIVITY#when my mom was working at a fried chicken place at AGE 60 a bunch of 12 year old Latina kids came in twice to make fun of her accent#and how “dirty” she was.... so are any of you understanding that AGE AND GENERATION DO NOT DICTATE SOMEONE'S “bigotry”????#my mom and dad were actual “progressives” at age 60-90 than most American kids who CLAIM TO BE LIBERAL at age 20???? #like even as a 30+ adult I have had LATINAS in their 20s w/ gay and trans friends who would be RACIST AND CLASSIST AND MISOGYNISTIC TO ME?

#I started reading up on NPD and abuse over 20 years ago. I am now 38 years old#yall need to stop with your binary ways and Neo-liberal asses#NPD is a result of colonization#especially amongst COLONIZED peoples like “latinidad”#hell there are recent studies on Black AMERICANS also being in that spectrum#just because it's a MENTAL DISORDER doesn't mean it is ableism to point out the tendency of ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR from people with NPD#fuck off with yalls WHACK and REACTIVE definition of “trans” and “ableism”

[just-a-normal-crow]

Hellooo mun!!! If you met your muse (or muses, if you wanna do both or just the birb) how do you think that interaction would go like?

((omg hello!! gosh ahsjdk tbh i never really thought about it because i don't even like the idea of any of the actual canon characters interacting with me personally [see: @dolasach's reason for existence + this blog honestly just being made so that i could have a reason to interact with the rp blogs without having to bring out my oc] but this did get me thinking >v<

for the crow:

crows are honestly extremely rare where i live, at most i see them as small black figures in the sky when they're flying off. so if i got the meet the crow irl i think i'd be genuinely thrilled?

as in. i would go through the motions of trying to befriend the thing and also play the part of a fool that tries to feed a mechanical bird ;-; i'd hope that it'd be like what's going on with yvonne, but i'm not talkative enough with animals to get any sort of emotional investment out of anyone at onychinus hq for what drama might be going on in my life. so like. i'd just be a running joke to the engineers for being a reason why the bird keeps coming back with a chassis full of food lol

for dolasach:

okay so like. i so CLEARLY imagine myself to meet her because of some art event where she's a guest, like a lecture or workshop or gallery exhibit opening. she'd have such a particular vibe to her, i feel? that would make it shockingly easy for me to actually reach out and ask questions about her craft (if it were a gallery opening) or ask some really thorough questions + start a bit of banter (if its a workshop) even if her gaze would be so intense i might die on the spot <-aroace but not immune to cool hot people.

i think it would go fairly well, i don't think i've ever left bad impressions on more important people i've interacted with and half the time end up befriending them + i want to believe i'd get a genuine laugh from her 😭 that's all i want oml))

Where to Find the South Sea Pearl in Manila

One of the mindfulness exercises that I do whenever I visit our youngest sister’s house in Malate is seaside walking along Roxas Boulevard. I also intend to conclude it with the same activity on Mall of Asia’s SM by the Bay. The latter is still a part of the boulevard stretch and is a relatively new spot to me, visit frequency wise. Setting foot on the esplanade again of this part of the…

DIY Solo Travel to Siquijor Island

Siquijor is a beautiful and very special island in the Visayas region (central Philippines). It isn’t a very popular destination among tourists and even less among locals, which makes it even more enjoyable because it doesn’t get crowded at all. It is a small island that you can actually go around with a motorbike in just 3-5 hours of continuous driving. All of the tourist spots are just right…

then she just points out to the sorrows just how much daniel infantilizes them, how he dismisses their beliefs and calls them superstitions, how he thinks they're "smart but ignorant." how he wants to uproot them and move them somewhere they have no ties to. see what they do to him about that

moz does not hide her disdain for both joshua graham and daniel but she tries to Makes Nice because the dead horses and the sorrows seem to like them well enough, and she doesn't want to be on their bad side, seeing as she's a guest on their ancestral lands. she does however do her best to poison both groups against joshua by making his history and bloodlust known, especially once they deal with the white legs and moz couldn't convince joshua to spare salt-upon-wounds. like. are these the actions of a reformed man? a man looking for peace? look and see and consider what lengths you'd go to for this strange man acting as your war chief. who appointed him? why do you revere him so, even knowing what he would've made of you when he was still the malpais legate? why is he so eager to spill blood, and justify it with scripture? whose blood will be next?
