Excerpt from Mariang Makiling

Maeri Keith was a blessed child. Or cursed. It’s all relative. Her first friend was a farmer boy named Martin. She was five years old when they met—Martin swinging himself on the mango tree in the backyard of her new home. He looked older than her, taller too, and for almost a year Martin had taught her lots of games to play, tricks to climb a tree better, and a mouthful of words she’s yet to comprehend—You’ll understand me one day, Mae. Some day, he said, ruffling her hair with his cold hand, when she looked at him confused the first time. It never occurred to Maeri Keith how unusual it was when Martin always wore the same clothes, often soaked as if he had been swimming in the river before visiting; how distressed and tiresome he looked when the sun began to set; or how her parents looked too concerned when she introduced Martin, her new friend, sitting under the shade of their mango tree. Her grandmother spoke to Martin a day after, a few hours before sundown. [—]. Martin stopped visiting since.

Notes: Thank you so much for reading!🙇🏻‍♀️ I hope you're doing well.💖 It's been a while since the last draft excerpt I shared here, and I'm happy to say that writing has been going well lately. I haven't missed a day.🎉🎉🎉 This excerpt is a new scene I added at the beginning of Mariang Makiling, as part of Maeri Keith's introduction. It's subtle, but telling.

Have a great day/night!👋🫶

When Umineko fandom complains about Maria ushiromiya x ange ushiromiya for incest or at least being pseudo incest when Umineko itself is full of incest incest adjacent relationships some slurs and forced/arranged marriage

every damn time

[sthavoc]

maybe the podcast he went on where they're talking about what the hair tie on his wrist meant and he's like "i mean it's my hair tie but i do have a girlfriend, it's not a secret just more private" and then with him loving lamps he says his girlfriend loves them and hates big lights so she has so many lamps and candles all around the house. basically him gushing about his girly and the hosts being like "estas enamoradoooo" and him blushing

𖦁ׅ ࣪ ׂ 🕯️𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐌 𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 | ENZO VOGRINCIC

𖥔 ࣪˖ pairing: enzo x fem!reader

𖥔 ࣪˖ summary: Enzo talks about your obsession with lamps and candles around your home on the podcast. And also the significance of the hair tie on his wrist.

𖥔 ࣪˖ warnings: nothing but fluff on this one

𖥔 ࣪˖ note: this is so cute! thank you for the request and I hope this is somewhat of what you were looking for anon<3 I honestly kind of improvised the podcast bc I don’t remember everything they said. it is 1 am where I live and I should be sleeping but I can’t…

“Bueno, pero me acabo de acordar.” Carlos points at Enzo’s hair tie letting out a laugh at the remembering he just had making Mariang laugh as well, but causing Enzo to look confused. “Hay un tweet donde sale una foto tuya en el ascensor y sales con la goma para el pelo.” He continued to point at the hair tie, and Enzo only remained more confused.

“Sí, para atarme el pelo.” Enzo nods and tugs the hair tie on his wrist. “Obvio.”

“Y el tweet ponía “chicas” tres puntos.” Mariang adds.

Enzo only appeared more baffled at the fact that his fans tweeted about a hair tie that was on his wrist.

“¿Que significa eso?” Enzo questioned glimpsing at Carlos who was ready to answer back.

“Que era de alguna chica con la que estás implicado.”

“No, pero es mía. Para atarme el pelo.” He looks at the hair tie and points at it.

“Bueno entonces, ¿das por finalizada que la goma es tuya?” Carlos laughed throughout his sentence as he looked at Enzo glanced at his hair tie another time.

“Sí, Y-yo creo que es mía. Bueno tengo novia, no es secreto, pero la goma es mía, pero ya ese tema es más privado.” He taps the surface of the table as he inclines his head towards the side for a short second.

“Bueno, pues gracias por aclarar. Cambiando de tema,” Mariang laughs pushing her mic a bit forward.

The three of them proceeded to talk about the movie and other random topics they would hit in the conversation. Like appealing to Enzo about his fans and any random app he had on his phone. Until they caught up with the topic about the money and how they would waste it on all kinds of things. Mariang spoke of the topic of furniture.

“A mí también me gustan los muebles.” Enzo nods along.

“Ah ¿a ti también? ¿Cuál es tu mueble favorito?” Mariang added to the subject as Enzo thought of his response.

“Las lámparas.” He speaks making Mariang nod along as she approves that was also her favorite type of furniture.

“¿Cuál es tu tipo de luz?” She questioned intrigued.

“Cálida, siempre.” Enzo retorts with no doubt in his voice. “Mi novia fue la que hizo que me gustaran de echo.” He chooses to add, with a tsk of his tongue.

“¿En serio? Ay, suena cool tu novia eh.” Mariang gushed grinning at the mention of you.

Enzo’s smile was followed by a nod and a few phrases. “Sí. Ella está obsesionada con las lámparas y las velas también. Como odia las luces así grandes pues tiene toda la casa llena de velas y lámparas.” He expanded his hands in a way of illustrating the big lights.

You were just like him and hated white lighting. It made your eyes burn, and you personally thought it ruined the warmth feeling of a home. Plus you had always wanted your place to have tons of candles and lamps around it.

“Ay pero qué linda. Me da las vibes de que es muy tranquila.” Carlos nods while Mariang agrees with him.

Enzo’s heart only swelled at the thought of you, and how you would look when lighting up the candles around your house. The times when you would have music playing on your radio and you would dance around turning them on.

“Sí, lo es. Se pone contenta al comprar nuevas velas o algún tipo de lámpara. También compra de pura luz cálida.” Enzo spoke into the mic as he kept his contact with Carlos and Mariang who paid attention to him. “Transmite paz. Es un amor.”

“Pero tío, ¡si estás enamorado!” Mariang signaled with her hand towards Enzo who chuckled. Not hiding the fact that he was turning red.

There was no lie in Mariang’s words. He was very much in love with you.

“Entonces espera, ¿la foto tuya donde estás con las plantas y una lamparita es en su casa?” Carlos asked out of curiousness.

“Sí. se le había caído y me pidió que se la arreglara.” Enzo responded.

“Ay pero qué lindo.” Mariang lets out with a cute tone. Enzo nodded with a small smile carved on his lips remembering the moment of you two.

“¿Y siempre le han gustado las lámparas?” Carlos asked before he took a sip of his drink.

For you, there was not a time where you did not like lamps or candles. They were one of your sources of happiness and personal warmth. So Enzo’s response was—

“La verdad que sí. Desde que la conozco siempre le han gustado. Recuerdo que la primera vez que entré a su casa me dijo “No te asustes” Y yo como ¿Pero por qué me voy a asustar?” Enzo furrowed his brows with the smallest of smiles.

“Claro.” Carlos nodded.

“Ya hasta que entre y vi las lámparas y velas.” Enzo chuckles at the memory. “Pero ahora que veo una lamparita o una vela por ahí me acuerdo de ella. Hasta le compré una.” He mentions with a raise of eyebrows.

“Hay ¿en serio? ¿Le dijiste? no vaya a ser que vea el podcast y se arruine la sorpresa.” Mariang looked at the camera making both Enzo and Carlos laugh. Enzo shook his head before he spoke—

“No, sí le dije y está contenta. Espera con ansia su lamparita.”

“Que bonito.” Carlos spoke peacefully into his mic.

Enzo knew you would love your new lamp, and he couldn’t wait to see your face and how it would brighten against the warm light.

[deepinsideyourbeing]

Mariang como no seguiste la charla de los niños? Como no le preguntaste si querría ser padre? 🥺 En esa estuviste mal mar

Petición para que Enzo regresa una vez y le pregunten lo que todas queremos saber... Or hear me out:

Hacemos nuestro propio podcast, lo invitamos y hacemos todas esas preguntas que no nos dejan dormir. Para mí es un re plan, ustedes díganme, lo hacemos realidad como sea...

No me dejen manejar el podcast porque puede terminar mal.

[henriediosa]

inspired by @louissatturi's portuguese lords in black post: palatawan lords in black

they're called Mga Taga-Mundong Walang Kulay "those who live in the world without colour", which also covers webby because she also lives in the Black and White. if the script calls for a distinction between the brothers and webby i think i'll just go with Haring Itim "black monarch" and Haring Puti "white monarch"

but i really don't want to use that too much bc i don't like black=evil/white=good symbolism. yes i know hatchetfield is full of that. my playground, my rules

inb4 i know we use hari for king and reyna for queen now, but hari used to not be gendered! that's why "hail holy queen" is "aba po santa mariang hari"

anyway so i started translating the lords' names because i was translating the wiggly jingle and it was really hard to do wordplay with a name that didn't play well with tagalog phonology. so i gave them nicknames the way we make nicknames in tagalog, with a repeated syllable

i was inspired by the way eugene evasco translated "Spikeys, Prickles, & Prongies" by natasha vizcarra into "Tultulis, Turturok, at Tuktusok" (link to the book)

wiggly is botbot, from kembot "wiggle"

pokey is tantan, from kanta "song"

tinky is toktok, from katok "knock"

blinky is raprap, from kurap "blink"

nibbly is gatgat, from kagat "bite"

luckily all the words i picked start with k too!

their full names (for now) are wigogibot, pokanta, tinoy-karaktok, bulinkurap, and kagatigat. raprap is the funniest to me because that's a valid nickname for someone named rafael.

webby doesn't get a nickname that follows this pattern because her brothers hate her. hannah calls her ate agiw, "big sister cobweb"

[the-twelve-guardians]

It just started one day. You couldn’t sit still, or suddenly your energy was sapped. You became attuned to the ebb and flow of creation, the push and pull of the Heat Haze Boy and the Monsoon Girl. You became a swellbloom kid.

SWELLBLOOM KIDS is a ttrpg set within the various eras of Philippine history. Here, you play as a superpowered individual blessed by one of the gods of Philippine mythology. Involve yourself in revolutions, political intrigue, clan wars, and magical happenings, from the creation of the world to its eventual end. You'll meet various reimagined figures from folklore and myth, such as Mariang Makiling (here, a goddess of time and tradition) and the personified summer heat Apolaki (here, a deity of sun and war also called El Niño or The Heat Haze Boy).

Swellbloom Kids is a love letter to Philippine culture, the gods in our beliefs, and to being neurodivergent in a world that may not always understand us.

MARIANG MAKILING | Introduction

Genre: Supernatural Synopsis:

Maeri Keith and her friends had an annual tradition—an overnight stay at a beach, island hopping on long academic breaks, or walk miles and miles to reach the highest point they could endure inland during a weekend. For this year, they all agreed to visit the Municipality of Maquiling and see its mystical falls for themselves—a more or less three-hour hike after entering the fall’s district.

To escape the scorching heat, the group decided to take a shortcut through another desired path, unknowingly entering a restricted area. Somehow failing to complete the three-hour trip by sun down, they found themselves beaten to camp in a glade—Maeri Keith distressed by the foreboding presence of the surrounding hills and forestry; the subtle, eerie whispers in the wind; occasional apparitions; and the sudden presence of a man named, Carlos.

Inspired by the Legend of Mariang Makiling.

EXCERPTS | Pinterest

The Legend of Mariang Makiling tells us of a goddess who had a heart for the poor and vulnerable. She was beautiful and kind; and had shared the abundance of her mountain but mortals took advantage of her. Betrayed, she retreated deep into the mountain never to be seen again.

In other versions, Maria would punish the people for their ungratefulness. She would cause heavy rainfall and whip ferocious wild carabaos in the forest to cause lightning; or a diwata haunting the forest of the mountain. People may pick fruits from the trees, but they must not take them home, lest she would lead them astray and play tricks on them. If they return what they had taken, only then will Maria relent and set them free.

Notes: Thank you for reading! I hope you're doing well today. (It's been a while. :D)

I am not sharing anything new, this is a mere reintroduction of my little novella, Mariang Makiling. You may have seen this before or read some of the excerpts. My main goal for the year is to finish the first draft, so wish me luck. (Please.)

Taglist: Kindly ask or reply to be added/removed.

MISS KALAW

Real name: Purita Carpio

The half-human daughter of Mariang Makiling, goddess of time, earth, and tradition. Inherited some time manipulation powers herself. She and her younger brother Bernardo lived peaceful lives during the colonial era, but their relationship fell apart when he wanted to rule over humans and became a rampaging giant as a result. She and her mother were able to stop him, and he became imprisoned under a mountain.

She heads a School for the Gifted, taking in swellbloom kids who are rejected by society.

+

Miss Kalaw features in my "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, but make it Filipino" premised campaign! It was a lot of fun including all sorts of references in her lore:

She has time powers just like Miss Peregrine and other ymbrynes. Her name is also after a bird, the hornbill (called "clocks of the forest" and the symbolic animal of her mother as well in Swellbloom Kids canon).

Her first name (Purita) combined with her pseudonym forms Purita Kalaw, a reference to the real-life writer and art critic.

Of course, her surname is Carpio because her brother is Bernardo Carpio.

She's a bit of a tragic figure, missing her imprisoned brother but also feeling that it's for the best. Her daughter Marcela is attempting to mend the rift, which only causes more friction in their relationship.

bbc ghosts but they’re all Creatures™ from Philippine mythology

*the english translation of the filipino terms are boldly formatted

**i’m not an expert on this area, i just loosely describe and relate the characters based on what i know

**blood, guts, gore, and horror in general ahead, the illustrations are also not mine

• Kitty - diwata or boringkantada or a duwende

can’t decide which works best for kitty: a filipino nymph, a beautiful supernatural woman or a playful hobgoblin.

diwata is umbrella term for beautiful goddesses, and the most popular ones are dayang makiling, mariang sinukuan, and maria cacao. i think kitty would be mariang sinukuan— a kind and generous goddess who stopped bringing fruits and harvests to humans when they became unsatisfied and greedy.

a boringkantada is definitely not boring: it possesses beauty both physically and in its voice. when someone is lured by its singing, it instinctively assumes the person is about to rob the treasures it guards and viscously attacks them.

the hobgoblin that loves to play, a duwende has the tendency to be extremely jealous and may either shower gifts to the ones they like and play tricks on the ones they don’t.

*i also see pat as a duwende, and i’ll elaborate that on the next parts.

• Fanny - white lady or a dalikamata

i mean, she’s already a grey lady so this one’s not far-fetched. basically, a white lady is a ghost dressed in a white dress, particularly an urban legend that resides in a Balete tree in Quezon City, Manila. it is also known as the Weeping Woman or the Wronged Woman in other beliefs.

alternatively, i also think she would be a dalikamata— a Visayan goddess with many eyes that can see the past, present and the future. i relate the all-seeing, all-knowing attribute to fanny’s nosy attitude.

• Mary - albularyo

derived from the spanish term herbolario, these folk or witch doctors are either believed to have supernatural abilities to cure illness better than modern medicine or hated for being a pseudoscience and/or a witch. screams mary to me. She knows every herb and ointment, can track the roots of what caused the sickness, but also has the capability to harm those who wronged her. ultimately, she does her best to help others.

• Annie - mangkukulam

rip annie you would’ve loved putting curses on men. she would’ve been a powerful witch. there are many other terms for filipino witches according to respective regions, but we call them mangkukulam in our area. plus, these witches believe that their spells do not work on the innocent, their targets often being thieves and colonizers.

side note: i actually have this oc from a story i once tried to write wherein the albularyo and mangkukulam are girlfriends because of the contradicting capabilities, and the idiots themselves told me mary and annie were gay.

• Pat - nuno sa punso or a duwende

a nuno sa punso is a dwarf goblin that will harm you if you anger it by kicking its house (an anthill) and/or pissing on it. if modern medicine cannot cure you in any way and you have disrespected him, you may need to ask for his forgiveness or seek help from the albularyo. “tabi-tabi po” or “excuse me please” is a phrase you say to show respect to beings like this.

my first reason for nuno!pat was because of his height. but it is also depicted as a tiny, angry grandpa and a protector of the earth— which reminds me of pat.

on the other hand, the duwende is a hobgoblin that likes playing with children because of its natural playful attitude. this one’s not that easily angered unlike the nuno sa punso, but can still hurt those it doesn’t like.

• Captain - kapre

the way i giggled when i thought of cap being a CAPre. kapre cap,,, i feel like the funniest person alive. the photo makes it funnier— just some local kapre with glasses with a tree behind it

a kapre is a cigar-smoking, tree-dweller. traditionally, it presents itself as a hairy, muscular, and tall guardian/protector of the land that can also shapeshift into a beautiful man to invite people to follow them (especially in the woods). hence, it can make you run around in circles as you forget memories of your life.

side note: thomas can also be a kapre because if a kapre likes you, it will follow and protect you from your enemies for life. a former filipino president (emilio aguinaldo) is believed to have outlived his enemies because he had a kapre amulet.

• Humphrey - manananggal or pugot

a manananggal is a self-segmenting vampire. its upper torso has wings that help it fly and hunt humans (particularly pregnant women and their babies), while its lower torso stays behind. there is a belief that you can actually kill it by finding its lower torso and putting salt or crushed garlic in it in order to prevent it from uniting with its upper torso. i’m thinking about this image of humphrey’s head having wings attached behind him, and his tudor outfit already spells out vampire to me.

or if we’re gonna be canon compliant, humphrey is already a version of a pugot— a headless creature from the ifugao. but i’m putting this on a maybe part because there are many versions of the pugot: some believe it is a version of the kapre, some believe it is a shapeshifting ghoul.

• Robin - aswang or sigbin or bungisngis

aswang is a broad, umbrella term for all cannibal shapeshifters. they appear as normal humans by day, and various human-animal hybrids by night.

i also see robin as a sigbin. both are seen as dog-like creatures that eat fresh, bloody, and raw meat. some believe that you can keep a sigbin as a pet that will protect you and even let you hop in on its back— but once you let it starve, it will always be a creature of the night that can eat you and your entire family.

robin would also make a good bungisngis because it is a cannibal one-eyed cyclops. its name directly translates to “one who giggles a lot”, which is why it is known for laughing and playing tricks. ironically, it is dumb enough to be tricked.

• Julian - bakunawa or engkanto

the bakunawa is a dragon serpent notably known for allegedly eating the earth’s seven moons. i’d like to think of that as a parallel to a politician like julian being enamored by the shiny power and wealth.

and because of julian’s charms, he would also be an engkanto— environmental spirits that presents to be good-looking and formerly known as a protector of the people but may also tend to be deceiving (much like of a politician).

• Thomas - tikbalang

this one’s peer-reviewed by a friend so i’m more than confident about thomas being a tikbalang. it appears to be a half-human half-horse creature known to lead travelers astray as they live in the mountains. it is known to be mischievous when it play tricks on humans (a tribute i might also relate to julian or robin), so make sure to wear your shirt inside out or stay quiet while in the woods to not disturb it.

unrelated but fun fact: if it’s raining, we have this belief that a tikbalang is getting married. (this phrase is potentially from the spanish when they believed that a witch is getting married when there’s rain on a sunny day)
