Pre-Colonial Filipino Mermaid!

One of the most requested historical mermaid designs was a Pre-colonial Filipino mermaid. Of course as a collection of islands there is a huge amount of variation to choose from, and I eventually decided on Visaya fashion with some classic-inspired tattoo designs.

It's okay to forgive people who hurt you silently. Sometimes, you don't need closure, all you need to do is accept that they are no longer there, that what you had is already broken, then slowly move on.It's better that way than to keep getting disappointed and hurt over and over again.

HiruSena ft. Philippine jeepneys (the most common method of transportation here)

CONTEXT: When jeeps are full during rush hour, it's normal to see two to four men hanging onto the back of the jeep by the railings. This shit is dangerous, because if you lose your grip while the jeep is moving, you'll get into an accident.

This is also something that both Hiruma and Sena would definitely do.

RIP HiruSena, you would have loved commuting via clinging onto jeeps like your life depends on it (and it does)

HiruSena Jeep series: (1/2)

EDIT: It has a playlist now on YouTube and Spotify!

I got to draw for @theknightswhosay's fic for @go-minisode-minibang! She wrote a beautiful story that blends pre-colonial Filipino mythology with the Good Omens universe. Read it here!

[Image Description: Fanart done for a "Good Omens" historical fanfic, set in pre-colonial Philippines. It is a realistic pencil sketch of Crowley sleeping, done by Aziraphale in his journal. Alt text provided and copied below the cut. End ID]

Continued Copied Alt Text

Crowley is curled up on his side, his long dark hair spilling over the pillow. He wears a traditional loincloth tied with a cord around the waist. His limbs and torso are tattooed with heavy lines and zig zag patterns.

Date event 4/5 - Mexico

(Fanon design)

Translation: Shit, he's hot now

[Headcanon time! During the Spanish occupation, Spain had custody over numerous countries which included Philippines and Mexico, and occasionally Spain would bring Mexico with him to visit the Philippines. The two still talk to this day, Piri has a small crush]

[And about the weird fluctuation with Piri? Pre-colonial Piri seemed more mature and fit despite being relatively young, colonization somehow "tamed" his growth making him finally seem his age]

[I'm making bullshit up as I go lmao but here's a link to how nations age video here ]

stuff i wish people did when making a filipino character (part 1?)

disclaimer: i am by no means an expert, but i am a born and raised filipino so! take that as you will

actually make the filipino be born and raised in the philippines. there are very few filipinos that show just how beautiful (and, admittedly, toxic) the culture of the philippines can be in modern media, if AT ALL.

like lets talk about the toxicity of filipino culture -cause there is SO much to be said about how problematic the hierarchical family structure is of most filipino families. children are rarely given any agency, are spoiled in the early beginnings of their lives and then suddenly once theyre adults theyre expected to just know how to adult despite being sheltered their entire lives.

okay and lets not even get STARTED with religious trauma. there are actually quite a lot of filipino youth who are very very detached from the main religion here (catholicism) because of it. i cant speak for the muslim population of the philippines as they tend to live far from where i live, but what i do know is that a ton of us filipino youth have been traumatized from their experiences in catholic schools. like,,, the horror stories you will hear from this place are just sad.

but on the brighter side, lets talk about the casual gender neutrality of filipino culture. we have no gendered pronouns. at its best? the philippines is very liberal with how AMABs and AFABs can present - it's, of course, still shunned upon to dress like the opposite sex, but among the younger generations, its SO common to see AMABs wearing makeup and skirts and heels and AFABs having short, masculine looking haircuts. oh, and the philippine drag scene is absolutely amazing!! if you want an easy gateway into queer Filipino media, ph drag race shows are the way to go

one day I wish I could actually like understand songwriting especially for theatre so that I can I dunno actually put to use the random tunes I have in my head that just spontaneously appear while I'm doing the most mundane of shit. anyways patron has the concept of an opening number now

“Lately, it seems like Filipinos gravitate towards foreign influences more: our appreciation for our culture has slowly started to fade. So when we heard of the concept of this boy group, we couldn’t help but think it was risky,”

“For Pinoy K-pop fans, they would judge Alamat based on their standards: glossy sets, Korean-style choreography, and even physical appearance like light skin and colored eyes,” Creative Director Jason Paul Laxamana says. “Since Alamat doesn’t follow their formula 100%, many perceive them to be doing it wrong.”

But these risks seem to have paid off, as they’ve built an impressive portfolio of songs that illuminate the Philippines’ illustrious culture.
