The "you almost ate me but now I love you" team:

[zenfulmockingbird]

Ako: I've already sent good vibes your way… they’re coming. There’s nothing you can do to stop them. Airdo: This is the most threatening way I’ve ever been cheered up.

[mikazuki-juuichi]

Beastars, vol. 14 (English)

C. 116

117

- Yafya and Legosi's first encounter shows up the former's luxurious world, but also his more savage side: That the secret to his fine vegatables is that they are fertilized with the remains of executed criminals.

- The ivory merchant will appear again at the end of his volume, in which we discover what his final fate was.

118

- The theme of savage sides shows up constantly in this volume: From Yafya provoking Legosi to test his combat skills to the latter's extreme answer: Ripping out his own fangs.

119

- Or the tale of Ako and Airdo (Eado in some translations), that will be continued in Beast Complex. A cautionary tale about the dangers of making light of danger.

120

- Legosi and Haru both try to fight their own natures. She tries to give herself to an ordinary life, he wants to live toothless.

121

122

- As Haru had pointed to Ako, one must accept danger to bargain with is. And so here, there is communication (Legosi and Haru's sincere long talk about everything that happened, including the foot-eating incident with Louis) and then risk --a visit to the meat market.

123

- A relaxing day (and chapter) that also serves to show how specialized entertainment and relaxing industries are in this world.

124

- We go back to the ivory merchant who literally lost his head. And then, the deadliest enemy of this tale: Melon, the serial killing hybrid.

Airdo & Ako

The story between these two in Beast complex is my favorite no matter what. It hit too close because it somehow explored how we deal with our pasts and scars.

Ako will always be reminded because of her scars, yet she went on to forgive and live by the fact that what is done is done. It was uplifting in a way, while Airdo on the other hand, went on and chase for what he really wants.

Ill always be reminded of my scars, but I gotta live with it. Even though it will chafe myself, I still need to move forward.

The Day After What?

So, iniisip ko kung ano bang magandang panoorin in line with the Pista Ng Pelikulang Pilipino kahit pa may mga issues na kakabit na naman nito na nagp-surface ng ilan pang pelikulang interesting. Here’s my list: 

-Madilim Ang Gabi -Signal Rock  -Balangiga -Gusto Kita With All My Hypothalamus 

‘Yung The Day After Valentine’s e isa sa mga bottom ng list ko kahit na crush ko si Bella at si JC. Reason? Parang alam ko na ang takbo ng kwento and hindi siya relevant sa akin since hindi naman ako naniniwala sa Valentine’s Day to begin with. Pero, dahil may yaya, e sige, pagbigyan. Okay na rin naman kasi for a cause --a bad case of a broken heart, so sige. Game.  All throughout the film, seryososng natatawa ako. Medyo weird nga kasi syempre ‘yung keyme at chararat ng kwento e malalim pero I really can not help but laugh and shake my head. Reasons?  #1 Gets ko ‘yung bigat ng mental health issues. Hindi ko siya tinawanan. Kaya nga sinabi kong I shook my head while watching at times. Madalang ang pelikula na tinatalakay ‘yung mga ganitong isyu kasi nga taboo. Nakakahiya. Ang natatawa lang ako e pinakakita talagang may kabaliwan ‘yung dalawa sa last scene kung saan pagkatapos makasampal nitong si Bella tapos nasaktan ‘yung si JC e nagtawanan ‘yung dalawa. Very eccentric. Very raw and authentic na pinakitang may sapak nga sila. We need more kinds of films that speak about these themes. 

Pero sana ‘wag lang puro in the context of a relationship. Why? Truth is, kahit nasa relasyon ka, ‘pag may sapak ka, wala e. You need to deal with things on your own. There is a thin line that separates saving yourself and letting yourself be saved. Parang si Bella. She thought she could get away with shit when she saved another soul. You are the captain of your soul, sabi nga ni Nelson Mandela.  #2 Do not ever think that fixing someone would guarantee that you get to be loved in return.  That does not work that way. Swerte mo na lang kapag ganun nga. May mga taong wired to have the Messiah complex and they find sheer pleasure in fixing people then tapos na. Finish na. Uwian na. May mga tao naman na they feel entitled to be fixed because they are beyond broken. ‘Yung kasi nasaktan sila ng sobra kaya naghahanap sila ng aayos sa kanila no strings attached. And these realities/scenarios make things more exciting and death-defying. Fixing someone is not a pre-req to being in a worth-the-wait kind of relationship.  Isa pa, hirap ng mga taong may issues at may excess baggages kasi dala nila ‘yan once they enter any kind of relationship. Hindi ‘yan sa pagiging safe o sa pag-subok sa relasyon. Hindi ka puwedeng maging nasa isang relasyon na half-full. Puntang ina. Walang “you complete me” mode paki usap. Kasi dapat ikaw, you know na you can be your own happy pill or you try your best to, at the very least. 

#3 Connection over destination. Always. 

Tignan mo ‘yung takbo ng storya. Ako, personally, bata pa lang ako, gusto ko na talagang pumunta sa Hawaii. Hindi sa America. Hindi sa Europe. Kung ‘di sa Hawaii. Pero pinatunayan na naman ng film na ito na walang ganda ng scenery ang makaka-fake ng real connection or the lack of thereof.  In fairness, mas maganda pa rin ang Pinas compared doon sa mga locations nila which made my heart do cartwheels na pangmalakasan. Ang ganda rin nung part na ang daming chances ni Bella to let her vulnerabilities go down pero she chose to fuck it up by trying not to fuck it up.  Walang relasyon na magwo-work kung may inauthenticity ang sino man sa inyo. (Segue: NP Oo by UDD on Jam 88.3, beshiekeyks, ang sakit-sakit kasi love ko pa rin UDD kahit napakasalimuot ng memories ko sa bandang ito a few years back because damn, girl...).  #4 Vulnerabilities make people more beautiful and more lovable, but... The reality is you really have to find someone who’d actually see the beauty beyond the beasts. Luh. Hahaha. Ang arte ko sa part na ‘yan pero truth lang. And I should friggin’ make it clear that there is a huge difference between finding beauty beyond the beasts and feeding the beasts just because one is mesmerized by one’s beauty. So, in Tagalog, just in case hindi pa rin gets, e, putang ina lang ‘yung ideya na kasi mahal mo kaya hahayaan mo na lang ‘yung isang tao na kainin ng mga halimaw sa loob niya. Hindi ‘yan sustainable.  When one shows vulnerabilities, it’s a cry for help. Hindi ‘yan nanghihingi ng sympathy. Empathy ang hanap niyan. Vulnerabilities ought to be turned to success stories that speak about overcoming the beasts in order for the real beauty to come through. Taena lang nung mga moves na sige, ilabas mo lang lahat ng dark side mo then tapos na. Finish na. 

#5 Assuming at paasa. Parehas lang ‘yung hanap nila -’yung something na mauuwian nila 

Hindi ako naniniwala na exclusive ‘yung isang tao na paasa, in the same manner na assuming siya. Laging may mix of both ‘yan. Sabi ko nga sa friends kong feeling nila e martyr sila e hindi ako naniniwala doon. Lahat ng tao kaya nagmamahal e gusto nilang mahalin sila, in one way or another. Walang perfect love sa mundo ng tao kasi may pangangailangan tayo. ‘Pag may motibo kung ano mang motibo ‘yun, diyan nagsisimulang mag-assume at mag-paasa. May mga verbal and non-verbal cues na kahit sabihin mo pang dense ‘yung isang tao or hindi naman talaga siya paasa, and caring lang, lulusot at lulusot ‘yan as something that leads the two people into thinking about taking things a step further. At the end of the day, assuming ka man o paasa ka man, gusto mo lang naman, makita mo ‘yung mauuwian mo; kahit ano pang kahantungan ng araw o gabi mo.  Assuming ba ‘yung kitang-kita mong masaya siya kahit sabihin niyang hindi siya masaya?  Paasa ba ‘yung sinabi na niyang hindi ka niya hahabulin even if it means having a badly broken heart kasi you made that person feel again?  Assuming ba ‘yung nung kinamusta mo siya e kung makapag-update daig pa Macbook update na matinde, as in bawat detail kailangan talagang ibahagi sa’yo kahit ang tanong mo lang naman e simpleng KAMUSTA KA?  Paasa ba ‘yung sinabi mong ayaw mo na kahit alam mong puwede pa in the name of saving yourself from committing a mistake the second time around? 

#6 Baybayin should be part of the curriculum. 

Sana seryosong ituro ito as part of Filipino subject tapos as in may spelling tests ‘yung mga estudyante sa ngalan ng K12 shenenens. Ang ganda-ganda ng wika natin at nakakadagdag ng lalim. Gusto ko mang kiligin e nakakatawa lang na kelangan pang magbaybayin ng mga characters. Nalungkot lang ako na bakit ba hindi natin gawaing mas malalim ‘yung pagintindi natin sa sarili nating wika kesa mag-master ng matitindeng English terms. Okay lang naman maging fluent sa Ingles pero sana lang talaga, ‘wag nating kalimutan ‘yung sariling atin. 

#7 ‘Pag naitawid mo na ang mga katangahan in the name of That Thing Called Tangina, matatawa ka na lang talaga

Kaya ako natatawa, kasi naitawid ko na, beshiekeyks. And nasasabi ko sa sarili ko na malayo-layo na rin ang natawid ko. Alam ko kung anong gusto ko. Alam ko kung anong ayaw ko. At hinding-hindi na ako magste-step backward kasi parang tanga lang kung ganun gagawin ko. Sayang naman ‘yung lahat ng scars sa ngalan ng pag-temper sa tide between That Thing Called Tadhana and That Thing Called Tangina, Mumsh. 

So, ang takeaway ko? Patuloy na ‘wag maniwala sa Valentine’s kasi napaka fucked up lang niya. I remember tuloy na nagmamasid kami noon sa SM Manila back in college sa mga taong pakamatay sa Valentine’s. Best spot? Dinaig namin ‘yung Papermoon. Sa escalator kami nagabang para mas kita ang dynamics na sangkajowaan. Sobrang entertaining panoorin ng mga paasa at ng mga assuming. Higit sa lahat, always stay authentic. And never back down to let the people see your vulnerabilities. Kung ayaw sa’yo or kung hindi mo kaya, e ‘di pasensyahan na lang. See you around, beshiekeyks!

Ano nga ba ang Pru sa Pru Life U.K.? Bisaya lang ba 'to ng Pro Life? (No offense sa mga kaba-bayan nating Cebuano or Bisaya. Bisaya rin po ako at lumaki po ako sa Mindanao at ang fatherside ko ay taga-Mindanao. Minsan nga kahit sa text ng mga kakilala kong Bisaya, Belle ang nasa message nila. As in Belle sa Beauty and the Beast instead of B-I-L-L-E. :D) Although we are pro life din naman because we are more on protecting lives through financial security and financial literacy. Ang Pru sa Pru Life U.K. ay mula sa name ng mother company na Prudential plc na based sa U.K.(London). Ang prudential naman ang mula kay Prudence, na siyang nasa logo ng Prudential or Pru Life U.K. Kaya hindi naging Prudential ang naging company name dito sa Pilipinas dahil mayroon ng nauna na naka-register ng under sa Prudential kaya ni-register sa Philippines ay Pru Life U.K. Sabi naman sa www.quickbabynames.com, kapag ang ipa-pangalan mo daw sa baby mo ay Pru, ang ibig sabihin nito ay "someone who demonstrates consciuosness and who has foresight. It also means "good judgement" in English. It is a female name and ia suitable for baby girls. But when you remember Pru as a financial service company, remember this things. P for Pioneer Pru is pioneer in V.U.L.(Variable Unit Link) or investment-linked life insurance in the Philippines R for Reliable Pru Life U.K. is over 165 years in protecting lives and one of the top life insurance company on the world according from Investopedia.com. U is for You. 'Oo, Ikaw.' When we present to our clients, it's not about us Financial Consultants, the company or the plans. It's all about you and your loved ones. It's about your 'Why'. It's about your dreams and goals. Ang Pru ay PaRasaU (para sa'yo). At para sa mga mina-mahal mo. #BilleMoKosaPru #PruLifeUK #ManfromthePru (at CCP Complex)

Late night snack for Me & my Boyfriend 😊👬🍽 Granola is one of our fave snack stuff, high in fiber and protein plus traces of vitas. We almost always make our own Granola (ako pa, kitchen goddess in our home together 😄) but sometimes we buy too. This MyProtein Granola was bought last month Dec '16 pa, so this is the last serving, gitilok na lang kumbaga. ✔ Nutri tip from us: ● Eating before bedtime is ok, as long as it isn't heavy and is digested slowly (your body metabolism and overall pace is slow -but still working- when you sleep). So for optimum Muscle growth, consume Slow Digesting Proteins (like Casein from Cow's milk; here I used Semi-Skimmed Cow's Milk). Also Complex Carbs and high Fiber Grains are good. Both Prot x Carb provide a slow release & steady supply of nutrients while you are sleeping. Building blocks for overnight repair & growth! 💪 Anyway, will bring this huge bowl back to our bedroom, where my Dodong Bugoy is waiting...ang Señorito baya!! 😑👊 We got home earlier 9pm, from our 2hr Training session at the Gym. Couple Training session, we both did Pecs, Triceps, Core, and my body is aching! 😢😭 He really wants to kill me. E ayun kase I just got back here in MNL last night from my Business Trip to Singapore since Monday Jan 16. Eating & drinking w/o Training, e syempre maninibago na naman katawan ko, Baboii e haha 🐷 But yeah, my Bugoy's just so happy that his Yaya is here to take care of him again 🙂 My Boyfriend's a huge beast/mature man from the outside, but deep inside him he's just like an annoying kid na gustong may magalaga sa kanya. He can't get this kind of care & attention from anyone else but me. Haynako, the things we do for love. I always say to him "haynako Dong, taghan kaayo kog atimanonon, gadugang2 pa ka" and he's like "Babe, anong 'atimanonon' bago yan ah? "Gwapo Dong, gwapo.." 😆 Clearly there are still some Bisaya words he doesn't know (or nakalimutan nya tinuro ko) so binibiro ko na lang 😃 Home sweet home. Good night from us 2 👬🌌 (at Bel-Air II Village, Makati City)

Waezi2′s thoughts on “Beast Complex” chapter 18.(for real this time)

Seriously, no BS this time!

So, it is impossible to read chap 18 online atm since there is some trouble with the site where it is originally posted. But I'm in a group where I watch as people translate the series, so I can tell you about the chapter that this time is about Airdo the Lion and Ako the Rabbit.

Remember those guys?

Yep, its the two idiots who Haru met. Their relationship went… sour, after they made out and that resulted in the normally gentle Airdo attacking Ako, leaving her with big scars on her head.

But whatever happened to those two?

This chapter takes place about a year after the incident. Airdo sees a poster that says that Ako is part of a beauty contest. She has been given the nickname “The Scar-Faced Angel.” Airdo had no idea she had returned to college and that she seems to be as social as she used to be. Airdo haven’t seen her since they were in court, and he decides to go see her so he can try apologize to her and see if she is okay. This makes sense since they are at the same college, so Airdo might as well go see her instead of accidentally bumping into her which would be painfully awkward.

Airdo expects to be kicked in the groin or something… But Ako is actually happy to see him. She hugs him and says she had hoped he would go look for her since she thought it would be too much for him if she called him.

She declarers how good it is to see him loudly and she even presents him to her friends, telling them that they used to date but that Airdo gave her the scars on her head.

... Yeah, I’m smelling a fish-sandwich.

The two of them leave the tennis club’s court, confusing Ako’s friends since they find it odd she would have anything to do with the lion who almost ate her.

But not as confused as Airdo when Ako starts lecturing him. She says that his timing is bad, that he should have waited to come to see her till Monday since this day is a holiday. It is easier to start rumors on a normal school day like Monday.

Yep, Ako haven’t changed at all, she is still very fixated when it comes to her reputation. She is good at seizing an opportunity when she spots one, so she is surprised when Airdo drops by to visit her at her club but also quick to turn it into an opportunity by telling her friends first that he attacked her AND that she has to visit him to talk things out.

But here is the thing.

Why not just make a scene? Why not yell and act like she is panicking when the teen lion comes to talk to her? Airdo knows how Ako thinks, and that would be the logical thing to do for someone who is part of a beauty contest by winning “pity points” as the Scar-Faced Angel.

The two of them decides to go to Airdo’s place and get a drink.

Okay, two things about this panel.

First of all, we get some world building as we see that Mugi’s new macho image is apparently a huge success. His “handsome uncle” photo book has sold over a million copies. Nice to know his change of image actually worked and that he can hopefully inspire a new generation of more confident shiba inu dogs.

Also, its a nice touch that Airdo uses an computer screen for television. Recall my friend Lasse doing that years ago while he lived in a smaller apartment.

As they sit with each their can of beer and watch TV, Airdo realizes that I can’t recall them ever being alone in a room. Ako almost always wanted them to be outside or in a public room so people saw them together since she liked the attention she got from being in a cross-species relationship. airdo once claimed that their relationship was kinda phony, that they were just fooling around. But he sees this moment as the chance for the two of them to talk for real, to get to actually know each other better.

Buuuuut Ako is wasted. She is apparently a lightweight when it comes to drinking.

(There have been no panels of Ako actually drinking beer. Keep that in mind for what happens next.)

But as Airdo looks at the sleeping rabbit with a bit of sadness, Ako reveals to not be asleep as she accuses him of pitying her and she storms out of the room. airdo is confused, and he decides to run after her.

As the teen lion chases after his rabbit ex, Ako begins to yell that she hates her scars but that she intent to make the most out of her situation, like getting a ton of followers on twitter as the “Scar-Faced Angel” as well as writing an autobiography about her trauma. But the last thing she wants is Airdo’s pity or him feeling guilty.

And then she makes one heck of a statement.

Well... she is not wrong.

Back in chapter 119 of Beastars where we first met these two idiots, Airdo tells Ako that they don’t have a serious relationship, that he is mostly Ako’s arm-candy. And that he is okay with that. But Ako then says that she wants Airdo to take her serious, to think of her as a female first instead of a small rabbit. So they passionately kiss... And Airdo then attacks her by accident because of his predator instincts.

Airdo was the one attacking Ako. But Ako was the one who unintentionally awakened Airdo’s killer instinct by underestimating how much of a slave animals are to their nature. So in a matter of speaking, yes, she DID “make” those scars.

Seeing Ako this honest and vulnerable makes Airdo confess his true feelings for the rabbit. He tells her that he loves her and that he wants more than just being a trendy woke couple, he wants them to actually date and know each other for real.

... And then Ako does this:

Yep, Ako is not drunk at all. She played Airdo like a fiddle so he would declare his love for her.

... AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA! DAMN, BITCH! XD

Airdo laughes. After all, he loves Ako for being a smartass who seizes an opportunity when she spots it. He never had any ill feelings toward Ako being “scary” and almost manipulative. Heck, you could argue that he is a bit of a “bottom” as he was okay with Ako bossing him around both in this chapter and chapter 119 of Beastars. Why should he be pissed at her for doing her thing and basically manipulating him into confessing by pretending to be drunk and hysterical?

And besides, she was most likely telling the truth. She tells Airdo that she is vain and tries to milk her unfortunate situation. And she has not shown any signs of ill feelings toward Airdo in this chapter at all, so she doesn’t blame him for what happened.

I would say that this is a win for the both of them. Paru doesn’t let us have happy endings, not without at least a couple of catches. This is as close as the rabbit and lion will get to a joyful conclusion to their little tale :)

And then, once they are alone inside his apartment, Airdo finished what he started and ate Ako. An act of revenge since she ruined his life.

...

Yeah, right! April fools!
