Smoking giants typically sat up in balete trees. If a kapre falls in love, they will follow said individual for the rest of their life, typically out of sight. Kapre are also said to carry small white stones, smaller than the egg of a quail. Should anyone manage to get ahold of this stone will be able to receive wishes from the kapre.

what if Aang had Paul Atreides style visions of Katara before the iceberg? ☁️

[Image description: Three panels of the Avatar the Last Airbender characters Aang and Katara inspired by a scene in Dune (2021). The first panel is of Katara a young Inuit girl in a blue parka walking along a white snowy hill. The second is a close up shot of Aang a young East/Southeast Asian boy looking into the distance as he sees a vision of Katara. The last panel is Katara looking into the camera.]

I love how we non-native english speakers are learning more english vocabulary through legends of avantris. Just saw the Scott Free clip and most of em are learning what scott free is.

As a Filipino who often sees a lot of memes and comics on my local Facebook feed on the matter, I want to know how the general attitudes of people when it comes to spanking or threatening to spank a child/children as a form of discipline, and if there's any correlation to ethnicity, upbringing, coping mechanism for trauma, etc

Many-eyed nocturnal beasts. They appear to be primarily benevolent, despite the occasional description of soul-thievery.

Okay, I should probably post the longer legend later, but I just read a lot about manananggals and aswangs in general lately and oh my goodness, there's a story that contains a manananggal baby!

The context is that two men stay over a family's house and some time in the night, they wake up to see the other family members rubbing a sort of oil or lotion on their arms which make them separate from their body and allow them to fly (something consistently established in most Luzon stories of manananggals as I've noticed). The family leaves behind their baby, sleeping peacefully as they went off to hunt presumably, leaving the two men alone with the child and the bottle of oily lotion.

I don't know really, it's just a little surprising to find that there is a story that at least contains this detail because most manananggal in modern media and even folk stories focus on just young women and often the only family being their sisters or their old mothers. I had never read about a manananggal baby before and especially in regards of a folk legend so this is a little delightful.
