An Inside Out 2 Human OC!!

As you saw from the last post I am currently working on a human OC for Inside Out 2 whom I'm shipping with Val! The bottom 2 images were drawn by my friend Allie since she helped me in trying to design her a bit! Also before anyone asks no Val is not a F/O(for obvious reasons) because the idea of her all stemmed from me being curious about OCxCanon and appreciating Val as a character because she’s super cool! I also noticed there are a lot of Inside Out 2 Ocs that are emotions and not humans so I wanted to be a little unique! P.S- Rei is her own unique character and not a self insert like my FE and Persona 5 selves because those are actually me and not OCs! Maybe somethings about her are loosely based off me like being a geek and the nationality, but she is her own character! Her name is Rei Galvez and here are some tidbits about her: = Rei is Filipino-American and can speak English and Tagalog fluently (Her nationality is based off of myself although unlike Rei I only know little Tagalog but I'm trying to learn it a bit more!) = Rei is a huge fan of Shadow the Hedgehog (she selfships with him) and loves Get Up and Glow just like Riley! = She's a golden retriever therian (described as a golden retriever in a human body) = Her demeanor is sweet and shy along with being introverted, but when she's pssionate about her hobbies and interests she becomes an extrovert for a second! Although Val is helping her break out of her shell more. = Rei and Val are both from Oakland, California and have been friends since childhood! = She's apart of Bay Area High's Anime and Gaming clubs and is well known in the geek circles of the school! = She's always supported Val even when she became the captain of the Firehawks! Rei was always in awe seeing Val on the ice and it got her curious about playing hockey and ice skating = During the events of Inside Out 2 she and Val are a couple as she confessed to Val before she went to Hockey camp. She's been wanting to confess to Val for a while, but was nervous to do so until she got the extra charisma to confess. = Rei considers Riley to be the little sister she's never had since she's an only child. She even considers Bree and Grace like her little sisters too but she and Riley especially click really well in the sister department! = Rei loves to draw and loves cooking and baking! Let's just say she almost fainted seeing Riley's burnt chicken! = Dani likes teasing her and nicknaming Rei the "Captain's Pup" because of how Val nicknames her puppy Extra tidbit: When Riley has her anxiety attack during the events of the film she helps her by comforting her as she knows how it feels to go through it and remembers how Val comforts her whenever she gets them. I'm still trying to figure out her hair color and what to color the flannel she's wearing, but I hope you guys like her so far! Again thanks to my friend Allie for helping me with the concept sketches to help me better design her too! :3

Random ask but what are wesker and Jordan like as parents?

I think I got carried away it’s a bit lengthy. Whole thing is under the cut if you’re interested.

Wesker, to nobodys surprise, would be a strict father, high expectations and only wanting the best for his children. I feel he’d be one of those parents that’d enroll their children into everything in order for them to be the best. This includes piano lessons, teaching them how to defend themselves, tutoring them himself, things of that sort.

Of course, when they slip up he’d be disappointed and double down on that aspect. Helicoptering their studies and what not so that issue won’t happen again. However I think he’d actually be kinda fair if the circumstances call for it, like for example, if Alvina or Junior fumble on a test because they were sick the week prior and the teacher gave them no extra time to go over the material then yeah, obviously he’d be annoyed but he’d be a little more lenient in that regard. Discipline is also a huge thing but he wouldn’t get physical, I think a 2 hour lecture is more in line with his character.

As for emotionally, Wesker never had any parental figures in his life growing up in a bourding school courtesy of Umbrella, so the guy … kinda has no clue on what he’s doing. I think he’d try to be involved in their lives but he just doesnt know how, so every conversation between him and his children is tight lipped and awkward. What the hell are the kids saying these days?? Doesn’t matter anyway because I think he’d have the “I’m your father, not your friend.” attitude. He isn’t the type of father you’d go crying to after your boyfriend dumps you. He’d give you a little “there there,” and then come back into your room with a plate of your favourite snacks. Not a man of many words but his actions speak volumes.

As for Jordan, she’d also be kinda strict, it’s inevitable with asian parents, however she’d be much more relaxed and down to earth in her approach as opposed to Wesker’s.

She is very much a family person, so I think she’d be much closer to their children than Wesker. Asking them about their day, and just trying to build a relationship with them. Obviously she’d be chill but she wouldn’t take disrespect, if they get carried away and swear at her or something, a swift smack to the mouth is her response. That’s another thing, she’s not opposed to hitting her kids, the slipper is her staple but any everyday object works. Junior dodged it one time and it bounced off the wall back into her hand. (This is a real experience I had growing up and 7 yr old me almost shit myself in that moment)

Alongside this, she’s very protective of them. A firm 11pm curfew at most and even before that time is reached expect her to be pacing around the living room stressed out of her mind if they’ll be coming home in one piece. Fear not, Jordan, Alvina is just baking cookies with Sherry at the Birkins. I think Alvina and Junior would have to build up courage to ask her to go out because she’d just be opposed to the idea in general, it’s not like she doesn’t trust them, or want them to have fun, she just knows the world is cruel and doesn’t want them to get hurt. No matter how old or independent they’re getting. If they come home past that curfew, they’re being met with Jordan standing in front of the front door snapping at them in Tagalog. “Do you think this is a hotel?? you think you can come and go as you please ??”Of course, strict parents raise sneaky kids so Alvina and Junior def sneak out all the time. This is all for naught however because Jordan knows, she won’t say anything about it though. She’d also try to pass down her Filipino culture as much as she can to those damn kids because they’re.. half white. I personally think she raised them to speak both English and Tagalog (Ilocano too) just to preserve that, they bless their elders, cook rice, refer to Jaiden, Barry and other uncles as “tito”. Junior and Alvina BOTH had that fuckass bowlcut that every asian toddler did growing up.

As for education, Jordan doesn’t care as long as the grade is ABOVE an 80. She isn’t as much as a hardass about it as Wesker is. However she does want her children to make good money, whatever they pursue it HAS to be good enough for them to sustain themselves and the family. (Jordan and Jaiden sends money back home to the Philippines every so often, huge Filipino thing) I think when Junior came to her about pursuing film though she was put off at first. Like okay yeah you don’t want to be a doctor or lawyer I guess but .. film? She came around to it though when he started balancing it with B.S.A.A. work after Chris yoinked him.

Overall I think they’d be .. decent. Not amazing and not horribly bad or abusive, just very average and somewhat kind of dysfunctional. They have their flaws, like every parent does, however they’re trying their best.

Jason Todd x Filipino! reader headcanons

A/n: i don’t care if this will be my most flopped post, I had to do God’s work

He would LOVE Filipino food

Jason is pretty open with food considering he has traveled frequently for work.

Being accustomed to seeing rice available even if it’s high in carbs lol. Started as a pancit (stir fried noodles) boy to a BIG garlic rice boy ever since you’ve introduced him to it.

Could see him really liking champorado (chocolate rice porridge) for some reason, since there is something so homey about it. Plus it’s not that sweet. He definitely have tried it with tuyo (salted dried fish) when you mentioned it but prefers it just the champorado alone.

Jason enjoys Jollibee most specifically the fried chicken, both of you have movie nights with a bucket on the coffee table with pineapple juice or alcohol. Would find Filipino spaghetti ‘meh’ cause it’s a bit too sweet for his liking but he wouldn’t mind it after a few more tries since there’s that child-like taste that makes it addicting.

Would 100% love lumpiang shanghai (Filipino spring rolls) and quotes as he explains it to Roy or any of his brothers ‘a way better version of Chinese spring rolls’, just like how you told him. He stops craving for the usual spring rolls if you guys go for Chinese take outs from then on.

Despite what the media depicts of having adobo (soy sauce & vinegar chicken stew), sinigang (tamarind stew) or ube hyped. He does think Filipino food is still very underrated compared to Thai, Chinese, Japanese etc.

Could also see him enjoying clear soup stews like pork sinigang (tamarind broth stew, though initially too sour for him comes to like it later on) & bulalo (clear soup with beef shanks & bone marrow) because of the homey taste versus the flavored stews but he definitely still enjoys them (also see him being a big kare- kare (peanut butter stew) lover by your influence despite not fully able to handle bagoong (shrimp paste) because of how pungent & salty it is, I think he would unconsciously get used to it.

Like every other man, he would be a sucker for San Miguel beer. He knew about it even before both of you were dating since there is a small Filipino town in Gotham. Considering he goes to different bars from time to time. He would enjoy the concept of food on sizzling plate but it would take time for him to actually try exotic street food specially Balut (duck embryo) lol. But he’s down for it!

Spicy White Boy

Canon- wise, he knows Portuguese and there are lots of similar words with Spanish. Which I’m sure he knows maybe the most basic and common sense ones; so Jason understanding a good amount of Tagalog shouldn’t be surprising but would baffle you when you find out he started learning bit by bit for you.

It is very impressive indeed, there are not a lot of good resources in studying it. However, Jason is a Wayne and if his father was able to learn Kryptonian. He would easily be in a level of fluency by time.

And being the intelligent simp he is. He would understand it in a good level in less than a year or two when both of you are pretty much ‘all in’ in the relationship. Especially when you brought up one time before you were both exclusive, that you were scared of the idea of your partner being left out in family events even if English is pretty much the second main language in the Philippines.

Though I feel he would have more confidence in trying to speak the language after a few more years including a few slangs cause he doesn’t want to handle the anxiety of being roasted by your family & friends even if he obviously has thick-ass skin.

You keep telling him that he has already won his parents approval (too fast) when he swoon them with just the use of ‘po’ and ‘opo’ the first time meeting them. Plus the very occasional whispers of ‘gwapo’ , handsome, or ‘matangkad’, tall, here and there would give him a mix of a sheepish ego boost.

Culture Differences

THE ‘NO SHOES IN THE HOUSE’ RULE is a mutual practice that both of you have no problem doing. It has always been a routine for Jason when he gets home and right away he would wash up just so he could be in bed with you.

The no shoes rule seems to be only followed by Alfred when he drops by with groceries for him in his apartment. It bewilders his siblings when he makes a big deal out of it even if they are just dropping by (uninvited as usual) but also more like so you wouldn’t get triggered if you get to meet them but frankly it triggers Jason more since he’s quite neat as a roomie (plus future hubby points too.)

THE FAMILY CULTURE in a Filipino household is usually a mix of chaos and laughter which Jason is quite familiar with but with your family he could tell how close all of you are from all the frequent get together celebrations or holiday trips.

But also he was told a few times from some neighborhood titos (uncle) when he was still in the streets that the number 1 rule when dating a pinoy (shortened term for Filipino) is if you’re ‘dating a Filipino you’re also dating their whole family.’ You even tell him when you show pictures of your immediate relatives and family, that it’s basically a whole village if you include your extended relatives which shocks him even more. You don’t even know who are all your aunts or uncles names nor your second cousins.

You gave him a heads up and number of pointers to Jason when you were both talking about your families plus the never ending group pictures and selfies that awaits. You get worried if he would be overwhelmed even if he tells you, “Doll, don’t worry you literally met mine” “It’s not the same.” With a kiss on your forehead and the cute pout he loves still present.

He immediately gets interrogated and compliments which takes him a back getting him a bit shy. Would vibe with your cousins and would be forced to sing. The karaoke machine playing till midnight, the never ending food being offered in his plate but also your baby cousins getting attached to him which you greatly adore. He would purposely annoy you with flirty gestures in front of your cousins just for you to swat his arm or his biceps multiple times getting a reaction from your comments mixed of ‘yiee’ or ‘landi!’(flirt).

SOUVENIRS in Filipino is pasalubong, and it doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re materialistic it’s more of the thought when a person is away; may it be for family & friends.

Jason bringing home food or snacks when he goes out or something unique when coming from a long mission for you has been natural. You don’t expect him to always bring something home for you of course. Fortunately, Jason loves spoiling you and seeing you sulk when you rummage his duffle bag filled with used clothes and is helmet is too cute. Plus, this is definitely one of the first words he would understand besides the word ‘makulit’ (a neutral connotation of annoying, cheeky, and naughty combined.) and other cuss words.

The first time Jason brings you to the Wayne manor Alfred and Bruce immediately doesn’t see you as a threat especially with a bottle of wine or fruits as formalities. You panic a bit when both of you weren’t able to bring anything to the manor every time you go after that, he has to reassure you it’s fine. Though he appreciates and finds it adorable on how much his family becomes fond of you because of how genuine you are.

When you and Jason travel, you would be having an extra luggage for goodies and shopping and would get endless teasing from Jason. You would tease him back though if he needs something but you would also use his luggage as well if needed for everything you bought.

part four of when i met you

this is a filo!james au revolving around james potter courting regulus black in a semi-traditional way

disclaimer: english is NOT my first language and not the type that this would be beautifully written but there might be some grammatical error i didn't notice while editing. also keep in mind that this is my first multichapter fic and im still trying to improve my writing

translation at the bottom, italicized text is when they are speaking french because idk french

Beginning | Previous | Next

you gave the world to me

"Have you seen my parchment?" Regulus asks while searching the table.

James doesn't say anything for a while so he has to glance up at him. The guy insisted on him to study at the library. Regulus got distracted reading a book so he lost sight of the parchment he was writing on.

"Potter, did you know where it is?" Regulus repeated.

James pursed his lips without looking away from the book he was reading.

"Huh?" He asked, bewildered.

James only pursed his lips even more.

"Just speak, Potter. I have no idea what are you doing."

"It's right there." Once again, James pursed his lips. This time, pointing his head towards a certain direction.

"Are you asking for a kiss right now?"

"No, I said it's right there," James insists, pursing his lips again.

Regulus sighs, actually leaning in before being stopped by James pressing his palms on his lips. "Wait, you're actually considering it? The parchment's right there."

He smacks James at the back of his head. "Why'd you use your lips then? Just point where it is."

"I'm more focused on the fact that you considered kissing me just 'cause I said so." James smirks, not so subtly leaning towards Regulus' side.

"Distance, Prongs," Sirius suddenly interrupts. "Keep your distance."

"When did you even get here?"

"I told you I would keep an eye on you."

"Tangina naman neto oh"*, James murmured, scratching the back of his hair.

"Putain de marde, Prongs. Don't cuss at me in tagalog assuming I can't understand you." Sirius snapped.

"Gago wala naman akong maintindihan sa sinasabi mo. Tarantado ka ba?"**

"You asked for my blessing. Just keep a distance."

"Blessing? What blessing?" Regulus asked which went unnoticed.

"Pa'no ko siya liligawan kung nakasamid ka sa bawat ginagawa ko."***

Regulus can only switch glances between the two men arguing. "You two look like idiots."

"Shut up, Reg," They both say in unison.

"Not on my watch, Prongs."

"But you're always around!" James complains.

—

"So," James started. "Were you really trying to kiss me back in the library when you thought I wanted one?"

"Fuck off, James." Regulus really hopes his blank face can hide his flustered expression.

"No, no, let's keep talking about it."

"Why'd you go here, anyway? It's late."

"You weren't at the Great Hall today. I figured you hadn't eaten yet. I made this." James handed Regulus another circular Tupperware, color yellow this time.

By the time Regulus opens it after getting back to his dorm, an aromatic scent hits him. What greeted him seemed to be white rice with an odd-looking red meat. It looks fried with a slightly charred hint of melted sugar.

The predominantly sweet, garlicky, and slightly peppery taste is what reaches his taste buds. The meat that seems to be pork is incredibly soft. He can't help but let out a quiet moan while chewing.

With the food James kept giving him, he might gain weight sooner or later. He still didn't know what his agenda was. Even with his embarrassing stunt at the library, Regulus is quite sure James is doing it just as friends. His friends were just confusing him.

That is how James really is. He is clingy. He's sweet. He's considerate. He's flirty. That's just how the man is around his friends. He certainly does it around them too.

Like the way he always notices when Regulus hasn't eaten anything. The way he always gives him food and always tells him all these cheesy lines he barely understands since it's in another language.

How he unknowingly makes Regulus' heart flutter. How he made the stoic, cold, often emotionally devoid Regulus Black feel flustered. He does that to all his friends. That is where they are getting to, right?

Right?

—

"Prongs," Peter started. "Can I have one of that tocino you're making?"

"No."

Next

———

*"Tangina naman neto oh." - This motherfucker.

**"Gago wala naman akong maintindihan sa sinasabi mo. Tarantado ka ba?" - I don't understand a word you said, asshole. Are you kidding me?

***"Pa'no ko siya liligawan kung nakasamid ka sa bawat ginagawa ko." - How am I supposed to court him if you're keeping an eye on every move I do.

[kairiscorner]

more miles x filo reader plz hshsjsjdns but this time can it be that they are not dating yet and hes still crushing 💗

YES, I AM ON IT !!

miles morales x filipino reader

i'd like to think miles would've fallen for you the minute he saw you, actually. like, his heart would beat just a little faster when he saw you, but he brushed it off as excitement to meet a new friend or see a new face at his school.

he was drawn to your beauty, your noticeable features as someone of filipino descent. you could say you rizzed him up by just being who you are, you super magandang individual o(*￣▽￣*)o

when he met you, he instantly found himself drawn to you and your little traits and habits. how you might point with your lips, say, "ah, ano..." when you start a conversation, how you use the "mano po" culture towards his parents (THEY FUCKING LOVE YOU FOR THAT) and just every little thing about you, be it related to your heritage or culture or just anything about you, he fell--and he fell hard.

HE WENT THROUGH A RABBIT HOLE ON WIKIPEDIA ABOUT FILIPINO HISTORY

he stumbled across this song, and he vibed to it (he felt a little sad, maybe a little strange after learning the meaning of the lyrics, it was a feeling he couldn't quite put his finger on it, but it danced on the tip of his tongue when he thought of you, iykyk what i mean)

he'd try to impress you by speaking to you in tagalog after hearing you speak it sometimes, but he used the mas malalim na tagalog and ended up confusing you 😭😭😭

"ang iyong kagandahan ay ubod ng... how do you say that word? wait, wait, uh... " (looks through the script he made to rizz you up, MOST OF IT IS IN INCORRECT TAGALOG TBH 😭😭😭)

he loves going over to your house whenever he can, he feels nice and at home with you, what more at your place where he feels so safe and comfortable?

i also like to think you two would walk outside together, play outdoors a lot, maybe visit a sari-sari store together or a store run by a local filipino nearby and show him some local filipino snacks and drinks you loved :>

HE LOVES PIATTOS

you loved feeding him piattos, like omg. and he jokingly bites your fingers when you do it, and he loves when you scream at him with a wide smile, "ANUBA" when he playfully bites your fingers as you feed him, he chuckles a lot about it and points out how someone's gotta watch their fingers when they eat this.

you two would definitely share a straw from those soft drinks in a plastic bag, LIKEEE one bag, one straw, two of you 🫶🫶🫶

HE GOT ADDICTED TO POTCHI ONCE !!!!!

"oh yo it's kirby" him at the potchi mascot

he also jokes about how you look exactly like the potchi mascot when you're blushing and pouting, AND IT MAKES YOU EVEN MORE FLUSTERED MAN

I FEEL LIKE IF YOU TWO WATCHED MARIA CLARA AT IBARRA, HE'D TAKE NOTES BECAUSE OF HOW MUCH RIZZ IBARRA HAS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU like me SIMPED FOR THE MAN

he'd also learn dancing with you if you were into it, even if you meant it as a platonic gesture, he'd savor every moment of it :>> AND IF YOU TWO DANCED THE EL BIMBO (iykyk) HE'D BE CHUCKLING AND GIGGLING AT HOW SILLY YOU TWO WOULD SHAKE Y'ALL'S HIPS AND YOU BOTH WOULD JUST ERUPT IN PEALS OF LAUGHTER AT HOW FUNNY YOU TWO LOOK WHEN DANCING IT

but deep inside, he'd already be falling deeper and deeper in love with you, wishing every day could just be like this. he wants to come over to your place all the time and just spend the day doing everything you wanna do or just nothing at all.

he loves the way your hair falls when you turn you head to look at him, he loves your sass and quips, he loves how you never take anyone's bullshit and he... he loves dancing with you. he loves holding you close and watching as the music takes you away into a freeing feeling, a feeling that only you two are in the world right now.

a/n: he listens to "ang huling el bimbo" on the way home.

Do demons have their own language, like the angels speak Angelic? Or do they just speak Lingo like the Medians? Also, is the Angelic language based on anything or just your own creation?

Demons have their own language when it comes to body language. They court each other through fighting... show dominance through fighting... play with each other through fighting... they're a really rowdy bunch. But as for a spoken tongue, they just speak Lingo which is the common tongue amongst realms (because I don't want to just call it English). Angelic isn't really based on anything. I could have gone the extra mile and made a whole language to decode, but I just decided not to. Sure, it's because I was a bit lazy. But I also didn't want anyone to understand characters I didn't want them to understand. If that makes sense. There are people much more interested in developing a language that have made attempts at decoding Angelic. They're quite dedicated! I don't mind. But for me, that's not the point, so that's not a part of how I write. If someone is blabbing untranslated Angelic in the comic, I want you to feel, "What the heck are they saying?" I spent a lot of time around foreign languages when I was a kid. Tagalog was spoken by my mom, grandma, and their friends, but was not taught to me. Japanese was spoken by my best friend and her family, who I spent a lot of time with... and I only learned Japanese long after I moved away. Most people I knew in school were children of, or were, immigrants from Asia. I'm holding onto that memory of, and also trying to convey, that feeling of being around a language that is completely alien to you, but learning to communicate and love each other despite that. You could say it's a reoccurring theme in Slightly Damned! P.S. For the record I think it's bullshit that captions put [speaks foreign language] instead of the actual words of the language being spoken in videos. Angelic is gibberish, so if it appeared in something with audio, I would still want it to be indecipherable when spoken out loud.

When cooking he tries to combine both cultures (sooo much curry...)

the difference between Taiwanese pronunciation vs Chinese pronunciation is that it sounds... "softer" (?)

with his character as a whole just having more slurred, soft words makes sense.

maybe he knows how to say like "hello" and "please" in Gaelic because he was pretty young when Lilia brought him in and he naturally picked up like... two words

also i hc he is tibetan because the wiki page said sleeping beauty is set in the himalayas? so i just ran with it LOL

art stuff, but the bad kind

In this month's episode of "i am a failure because I don't act like the world is exactly like it was about forty years ago, when my mom was my own age," my mom has thrown my Filipino fantasy writing in my face because I can't speak Tagalog, I haven't been to the Philippines since I was about twelve, and fictional/fantasy writing isn't "REAL writing (worthwhile writing, I'm guessing)" like autobiographies or academic stuff.

She also assumed that the only people who like my stuff are Filipino-Americans like me, so I am yet again wondering why she came here and raised her kids in the States if she doesn't seem to want "Filipino-AMERICAN children" as opposed to "traditional Filipino kids who happen to have an American passport/citizenship."

Like, she's never made it a secret that she thinks the arts are just a hobby and she doesn't know why I like them so much, but CONFIRMING that my art, specifically, fills her with contempt? Just felt like the other shoe of "Filipinos love artists who have already made it and are 'safe' to support, but when it's their own relatives/friends trying to get there, they suddenly have a laundry list of horror stories and scare tactics to get you OUT of the arts" has finally dropped.

General Notes

May I introduce to you my headcanons for Duke and Danny

Let’s start with Danny cause he changed the most [kinda]

The Fentons are a mixed Filipino-Cuban family [Maddie-Jack] b/c I wanted to [I am not Filipino or Cuban so if I mess up somewhere please tell me!] Jazz, Danny and Maddie all grew up learning and speaking Tagalog

Maddie and Alicia are Filipino-American & 3rd gen immigrants, their family name is Palad

Alicia’s farm was something their aunt had owned then later left to Alicia since her kids didn’t want it

Jack’s mom Olivia nee Castro was Cuban and his dad Rupert Fenton was white [that’s the Fenton-Nightingale side]

Danny is transmasc and has been presenting as such for awhile now

As like a general assumption, the Fentons aren't Horrible vivisect their child kind of parents in most of my AUs, they just aren't perfect half the time

Now onto Duke!

Duke is Nigerian, with both Elaine and Gnomon being centuries old for the most part [depends on AU but before Europeans started their bullshit]

Duke speaks an old dialect of Hausa that Elaine and Gnomon had grown up with and one he grew speaking it along with English

His adopted Dad Doug Thomas is Black, and he has an Aunt and Uncle Tracy & Alvin Jackson who live and in Bludhaven

Duke’s cousin [who’s cannon] Jay Jackson is a decade or so older than Duke and his legal guardian after his parents couldn’t do so

Duke still lives with the Wayne’s sometimes [they were his foster family until Jay could get custody] just jumping between each

The We Are Robin gang are still together but no longer as a group of vigilantes but as friends

I call them The Flock and they each have their own bird nicknames, Izzy|Fieldfare, Riki|-Galerinda, Dax|Alaemon, Andre|Blackbird, Dracy-Joanna “DJ”|Sparrow

They had another member Troy|Warbler he died during the Robin Wars when he was trying to defuse a bomb, it was rigged to blow anyway

Danny does this thing where he just stares at Duke for prolonged periods of time

Duke thought he’d be bothered by it but he actually likes it alot, for Danny to just look at him like he’s his only light

Danny’s always had dysphoria around his body, especially after he started to become more ghostly

Duke always thought he was beautiful and would tell him as such, he loved to watch Danny blush like a fool at his words

I’ve always thought of Danny as a romantic, he’s the type of person to do anything for his partner

He thrives off of physical affection and word of affirmation

Duke is also kinda romantic but he finds it difficult to do physical things, when he truly loves a person he holds them alot, taking their hand, hugging them, things like that

He loves to get things from people he loves, and acts of service

These two are made for each other I swear

I LOVE FILO ZB1 CONTENT SMMMM i usually have these random thoughts in my head abt what the members would be like as filos AND BRO for me ricky is definitely englishero. specifically those kinds that are fluent in tagalog but just prefer speaking in english

actually ricky is so me what the heck.. 😬😬 HE DEF LISTENS TO HEV ABI😬😬😬 it's either he's conyo and is horrible at filipino or he's just what you described him.. this guy is a bgc boy you can't say no

I think I would still keep the chinese and american in him😂😂.. guys guys what if he's a chinese-filipino that grew up in the us and has little to no knowledge abt the philippines.. bro when he gets there he would be THE airport crush wtf.. his parents told him that he should try to go to a public school but he's concerned and worried that he might get made fun of.. A LOT. so he goes to a private school first, then goes to public once he's able to speak filipino properly and stuff but he's only gonna stay there for a year..

bro def goes like "what's the orange ball with the little egg inside?" LMAOOOO🤣🤣🤣🙏🙏⁉���⁉️ he cringes at those err what do you call them.. the genggeng boys😬 they often tell him to try and hangout with them but he just.. ignores them.. "kumaldag ka nga!!" "wtf is a kaldag??"

bro tries so hard not to show off in the days where you're able to wear civilian clothes instead of the uniform but does it anyway.. "bat may lalaking mukhang pupunta sa party.." he even ricky-fies his own uniform and makes it look richer and more classy than it was originally supposed to be.. ehh you get it

def the guy that has EVERYTHING you need for a project, he doesn't really do anything except make the art and have the supplies.. "gaga nawala ung ink ng marker!" *biglang may 7 na marker, bago pa..* the main reason why he doesn't really do anything in the project because his group mates find it hard to communicate with him since his first languages are english and chinese and when he speaks filipino, he has this weird accent..

he knows how to speak filipino naman, it's just that accent that messes everything up.. medyo insecure siya abt it so he just doesn't speak at all. he also doesn't understand kanal humor AT ALL so his classmates don't really like his type of humor.. when he found out that he actually has english-speaking classmates with aircon humor, he tried his best to befriend him but they thought he was weird or didn't want to become friends with him since they thought he was some rich spoiled kid who knows nothing but money.. heck people even used him because of his wealthy status and got hold of the fact that he likes giving gifts to people he's close with..

he's famous around the school just for his looks, nothing else. when he thought his popularity would give him an advantage to get more friends and have a good image. he caught girls trying to sneak gifts or trying to state at him, he thought that this whole thing was making him uncomfortable but he can't do anything though. that's only gonna ruin his reputation. so he didn't mind and ignored the admirers, they're not really his business anyways. he knows he's handsome, he doesn't have to show it off at all times.

he stopped trying to make friends in his school and just sticked to doing his hobbies when he was bored and continued talking to his friends from china and usa, the others just viewed him as some rich kid anyway. the teacher assigned a project that needs a partner for the class, everyone gets to pick their own partner. he looks around with people debating on who should be their partner. he just continued drawing whatever was in his mind waiting for some unfortunate person to have no choice but be partners with him (to his admirers it's very fortunate to be partners with him.. you can see them fighting on who should be his partner, ricky is just enjoying the thought of being alone with no one disturbing him.

ricky suddenly felt a gentle tap on his shoulder. he looked up to see someone, is it an admirer?

"hello? can I be your partner?"

"huh? oh, sure.."

his attention is now on you instead of the drawing of a rose, ricky was caught off guard because of how.. quick this person asked to be his partner without being shy or nervous. he looked at the group of admirers, now fuming because he already has a partner.

(medyo inaccurate ito sorry😭😭)

Two in One Post

For my Filipino Friend's On this day post

I have remember Yahoo a lot when i was a kid. I do remember using Yahoo Kids when i was in school. Like if i don't have anything else to do on the computer, i do like to play some games on Yahoo Kids and watch some videos like kid show related stuff like Spongebob when they're coming up with some new episodes depending if i like the episode or not. And i also did used another app called Wii U Voice chat which it's kinda like how Facebook Messenger does voice chats except the Wii U Gamepad is like a doing a Facetalk from Bluey. You can draw and chat at the same time. And i know Discord does voice chats too, but we don't draw unless we're like doing a stream while chatting on Discord, but i'm going to need a lot of help from someone who knows well about streaming on Discord and chatting with friends at the same time.

And for the Pic my Filipino friend made.

It was really nice of Miya wanting to learn another language like Spanish, since i know Rita and Miya only both speak English and Tagalog since those are their only languages they can speak, but at least Spanish can be their 3rd Language. Plus i was going to learn another language since i was trying to learn Russian and French. Since Spanish is usually my 2nd language i can speak even though i'm a beginner at Spanish, and my brother and sister both used to take Spanish class in school. But normally i can speak Spanish myself if i wasn't involve watching a kid show like Dora. Since i know Dora usually teaches Spanish at the start, "Hola" and that's how it happens and a lot with other Spanish words. It's like some people were telling me like she might teach lots of Spanish, but i'm not sure if she teaches much Spanish or other languages since it might be the duo of the plot. Plus i do sometimes watch some Spanish channels when i was watching a Spanish channel like kids stuff. But i know a friend from Mexico who does speak Spanish sometimes when we're both playing a video game together. Not Leon, but i think his name is Alonzo or known as Ball Stop. He does speak Spanish sometimes to me and i always practice doing a countdown in Spanish when competing in a race. And i can also do a countdown in French too if i wasn't remembering how it happened in Viva Pinata Party Animals. One of my favorite Xbox titles and a perfect game for my A-Pal and i to play if we want to play online together and if we both have a membership together.

[2] How does their social personality differ from how they act when they’re alone?

[3] What emotion is the hardest for them to deal with?

[17] What is their biggest struggle that no one around them is able to understand or believe?

[23] What was the worst, the darkest period of their life that they have been through?

[27] Do they have any scars, how did they get them and how do they feel about them?

[32] Is there something they've done in the past that they deeply regret till this day?

HYO LORE !!!

- tired

buckle up i wrote too much at like 2am last night

[2] How does their social personality differ from how they act when they’re alone?

HYO’s personality is like. Kind of dependent on what language she’s speaking in if that makes sense 😭 Like if you were to talk to her in mainly Korean or Tagalog, you would probably say she’s very outgoing and bubbly. But if you talk to her in mainly English, you would be like “Oh yeah Hyo is pretty calm and chill” you know because of her tone !! I think her tone in English is more how she acts like when she’s alone, so I guess it really just depends 😰⁉️ English isn’t her first language so that’s why her tone tends to be very different 

[3] What emotion is the hardest for them to deal with?

I think for HYO the absolute hardest emotion for her to deal with would be guilt. She absolutely is at her lowest when she feels guilty, she won’t show it obviously but it’s like the feeling is eating her alive

[17] What is their biggest struggle that no one around them is able to understand or believe?

HYO’s biggest struggle I think that the people around her have a hard time understanding is the more in depth reason why she acts the way she does in the sense that, you talk to her so much but you don’t really know a deeper thing about her yk? She’s got her walls built up and no one seems to understand why exactly that is, that makes her really lonely

[23] What was the worst, the darkest period of their life that they have been through?

Erm I think the darkest periods of HYO’s life was probably middle school to like the half of high school years. The area she grew up in wasn’t exactly the greatest, she was involved with a lot of violence and she was just in a really bad spot in her life. It was also around the same time where she discovered she could empathize with victims the same way Will can empathize with the killers. Her older sister lore goes really crazy 😭

[27] Do they have any scars, how did they get them and how do they feel about them?

Yeah HYO has multiple of them, like I said she was involved in a lot of violence when she was younger and even still throughout high school even when she wasn’t in such a bad place. Plus her experiences with medical professionals weren’t great. She doesn’t hate her scars but she doesn’t love them either, she won’t go out of her way to hide them or make up a lie when people ask what happened. She’ll just be really vague abour it like “Oh yeah, that happened when I got into a fight”

[32] Is there something they've done in the past that they deeply regret till this day?

I’M SO GLAD YOU ASKED :smiley~1: HYO doesn’t like to linger on the past, she likes to move on and leave things be. When she was younger, she used to hold a lot of grudges and she was a pretty emotional kid but the older she got, she just got too tired to care anymore. ‘Things are the way they are, there’s no changing it. Sure it shouldn’t have happened but the only thing I can do is move on.’ She doesn’t feel guilt often. But there’s this one event that haunts her.

So when she was younger, Hyo had one of her close friends. This happened around freshmen year I wanna say. Hyo was part of a sort of gang I guess in middle school (like I said, wild place) and this person was practically her best friend at the time who was also part of said gang. Hyo really wanted to try and leave the gang behind because she was tired of it. I mean she was only 14, she actually wanted to have a somewhat normal high school experience if possible but her friend didn’t want to quit. So they just decided, Hyo was gonna leave the gang and they were gonna stay but they could still be friends

But the more time Hyo spent away from the friend, the more different they started becoming. After Hyo had left, the group started to basically change and it became a lot more violent. She saw her best friend just completely change into a different person and it wasn’t until one day, her best friend came knocking at her door, covered in blood and admitting to her that they had just murdered someone. It was an accident they told her, they didn’t mean to get too carried away but jt happened so quick

Hyo was in shock but her friend just led her to the body, and it was in that moment where everything just replayed, but she was the victim instead. She couldn’t look at them the same when the scenario was over and she could only stay frozen. Her friend looked at her, hugged her, and told her that it was okay if she wanted to call the cops. The only reason why they had brought her here was to do that anyways. They didn’t want to get caught red handed and lonely, and they didn’t want the gang to help them hide the evidence. They would be fine knowing Hyo was the one who reported it, because Hyo was their best friend. They even said if Hyo wanted to kill them because of how disgusted she was, they wouldn’t mind it. She was the only person who they would be okay with doing that. 

So Hyo ended up reporting it, her friend got arrested but you know when you witness that stuff at 14, I don’t know about you but that fucked her up really bad 😰 Her parents put her in with a psychiatrist, got her participating in church more often. But the whole calling the cops thing wasn’t the one thing she regretted. No, the guilt happened was when she was older. 

Taking on a case of a brutally murdered victim, someone familiar to her, her best friend. The only thing she had regretted was that she didn’t kill them when she had the chance, because at least if it was her, they would’ve been okay with her killing them. They would’ve hugged her while she did it, they would’ve handed her the weapon too
