How to do a Serenade?

[To impress a Filipino!MC, Solomon decides to practice serenading them in the language via his understanding and awkward practicing in front of the mirror.]

Solomon: "Kahit ako'y 'di mo pinapansin... hindi ako nagagalit sa 'yo"

[His hands are clenching, a serious expression on the mirror as the soundtrack plays on his DDD.]

Solomon: "Pagka't alam ko na ang iyong damdamin para sa 'kin...~"

[Running a hand through his hair.]

Solomon: "Hindi mo lang alam ang aking nadarama 'pag kapiling ka..."

[Dramatically looks at himself, lovestruck gaze.]

Solomon: "Honey...my love... so sweet"

Luke: "Simeon... is Solomon chanting a spell again?"

Simeon: [chuckles] "No. Far more than that."

Luke: "I'm scared. He's been gawking at the bathroom mirror for over 3 hours now."

Simeon: "Oh what people do for love."

English Translation of the Lyrics:

Even you ignore me, I'm not angry with you

Because I already know your feelings for me

But you just don't know what I feel when I'm with you

Honey, my love so sweet

This is so random omg 😭

I've been on a Hamilton brainrot and I honestly think I'm being haunted by the ghost of Hamilton himself because I've suddenly got the urge to practice cursive writing, write a bunch of essays and letters in a flowery language.

[suckerforfluff]

[chilli-talks-a-lot]

Living in the states as a Filipina-American kinda sucks because there's so much admiration for Japanese and Korean culture here that I feel more connected to those Asian cultures than my own

Where's my Tagalog-pop??? Where's the Tagalog punk rock at??? Why can I never find those songs with English translations?

The only connection I have to my Filipino heritage is the food and those random awkward phone calls from my grandma and cousins.

So yeah, for the new year I wanna learn Tagalog and listen to Tagalog music and learn more about Filipino culture

pls recommend Tagalog songs and/or youtube channels and/or language learning tips pls I really appreciate it

[heliosphere-underthesky]

Mei,are u from China?

Howdy! Actually no, I'm from the Philippines. But I always get told I looked Chinese and that I did have some Chinese blood far in the bloodline! So adopting this nickname online is a personal choice + honouring that. Haha

(A)PAF: Sibling moment between Casey Jr and his little sister

At this point I should admit I have no self control… anyways, another family fluff snippet that has very minor spoilers to the main story but honestly doesn’t spoil the plot.

Check the father-daughter snippet if you want more family fluff

Leonardo takes a sip of his tea in the kitchen, staring blankly straight ahead. He’s grateful for this moment of peace and quiet, especially after Lou’s crying that lasted all throughout the night. He was thankful Donnie, temporarily, soundproofed his train car because her crying would have kept everyone awake. He would rather deal with a crying baby than with the others’ sleep-deprived fury.

He knew parenting wasn’t easy, he had some experience with CJ. But he’s starting from scratch, so to speak. He only had to take care of CJ as a baby in short increments. Now he has to take care of a baby 24/7.

And just as he was about to take his next sip, Lou’s haunting cries echoed from his open train car. Sharp and nearly ear-piercing, it taunts him and his heavy eyelids.

With a sigh, he takes his mug and follows the sound of her crying. Each step he takes it gets louder, and louder, and louder. If he didn’t know better, he would have thought she was pulling out microphones and megaphones for each step he took.

He steps onto the threshold and her crying suddenly stops.

Fear erupts in his chest and he braces the doorway to push him forward, but stops dead in his tracks when his eyes land on CJ sitting on his bed.

The teen is sitting pretzel style on the blankets, the back of a small green head barely visible in the gap of CJ’s legs.

His son is smiling wide, clicking tongs in his hands as his head bops side to side. The tongs click click click in his hands to the rhythm of the familiar song he sings to Lou.

“Tong tong tong tong, pakitong-kitong. Alimango sa dagat, malaki at masarap! Kay hirap hulihin, sapagkat nagangagat!”

CJ pinches Lou’s cheeks lightly at the final part of the song before kissing her diamond stripe. Lou giggles delightfully, her sharp chirps bouncing off the walls. She closes and opens her hands just like the tongs and trying to mimic the words CJ sings, but her little beak only opens and closes with small chirp sounds.

CJ takes a deep breath and sings slightly faster, clicking the tongs to match the faster rhythm, “Tang tang tang tang, pakatang-katang. Alamanga sa dagat, malaka at masarap! Kay harap halahan, sapagkat nangangagat!”

The teen pinches Lou’s cheeks again, earning those same sharp giggles that melt Leonardo’s heart. Tiny green hands reach up to pinch CJ’s face, opening and closing like a little crab. CJ shakes his head softly, a soft coo to his voice as he says, “Not me, Lou!”

CJ takes another big breath, dramatic and puffing out his chest as he does, but Lou suddenly chirps. It’s not a chirp of distress, but one that catches CJ’s attention and stops him.

Lou’s hands suddenly reach blindly behind her, closing and opening like a crab again.

“I’ve been found,” Leonardo teases and walks into the room.

“Sensei! I didn’t know you were there,” CJ greets and lifts Lou enough to stand in the gap of his crossed legs.

Lou chirps happily, tiny hands still grabbing the air like a crab in Leonardo’s direction. She coughs and suddenly yells in the smallest voice, “Da!”

Leonardo nods and takes her from CJ’s lap, lifting her into his arms and to rest in the crook of his elbow. She mimics CJ’s tongs clicking and head bopping, trying to sound out the words but they only come out as chirps and churrs.

She finishes the song by pinching Leonardo’s cheeks, a small effort that makes the father nearly collapse on his bed from how adorable her fingers felt. “Good job, Louie! You’re a little crab that bites,” he exclaims as he kisses her diamond stripe.

Lyrics: (it’s the same every verse but the vowels change)

Tong tong tong tong, pakitong-kitong. Crab in the sea, big and delicious. So difficult to catch because it bites!

[mimiruku]

Mitsuru is half German?! Does he speak German? Has he been to Germany? I need deets Mimi, you can't drop a half japanase/half german oc on me like that without preperation 😭 I need to know everything.

& Then for Mitsuru ! I'm not overly familiar if at all, with European, German, specifically, Berlin Culture. So pardon the over all clumsiness, but here are some of my thoughts!

╰┈➤ German from his mother side, who raised him alone for quite sometime up until her unexpected death, he moved to Japan to live with his dad and his half-siblings then after. ⸻  so! He can speak Standard German and Berlin metrolect fluently ! ( he moved to Japan when he was 10 y.o! )

╰┈➤ His accent softened over the years but every now and again you can still really tell Japanese isn't his mother tongue, even in his adulthood! People also often assume he can speak English, he cannot . . . ( Yamantaka is the one that can fluently speak English. )

╰┈➤ He rarely visits Germany and I like to think he actually prefers German food as well . . . he misses his mom.

╰┈➤ When he's really, really angry with you, he reverts back to German . . . Yamantaka & Ikuo picked up what those meant over time and they are def. getting cussed out.

I haven't talked about my (mixed) Filipino hc for Minhkhoa that much so

I'm thinking about him pointing with his lips specifically rn. Most of the time the upper half of his face is covered, so you can't follow his gaze; I figure he does the lip-pointing more often to make up for it. Though he also does it under the helmet by reflex as if anyone can see that.

He sighs all grumpy if someone (Bruce) doesn't get it and he has to gesture with his hands. Even if he's still wearing the helmet when he did it (he's a loser)

Also I'm not immune to the cute misunderstanding of someone thinking it's an invitation to kiss. Mmm ghostbat first kiss accidental and a bit of confusion, but they both realize they want more of what just happened. Bruce is midkey dying of embarrassment because he misread the situation and kissed his best friend (autism be damned my boy can pull bad bitches)
