The world has ended. The Fires encroach. The Highest Universal Empress Invincible Blade Princess has been slain by the valiant efforts of the First World Revolution. The First World Revolution has been stamped out by the balancing efforts of the United People's Party. Nations and Kingdoms are shambling undead. From the corpse of the world, like divine maggots, rise. Feed upon its necrotizing body. The spirits have come out to dance and play. This is all you've got. The World. Heaven and hell are contained within you. Enlightenment can only be found through the world. You can do it. I'm on your side. Don't let yourself fall into apathy. Swim through the mire. Day by day. Second by second. Breath by breath. It doesn't matter how slow you go, as long as you don't stop. I believe in you. About face. From the ruin. Walk away from it. There's still time. Move. The Darkness is strong, but you are stronger. No one will save you but yourself. Set your heart ablaze. SUNDANG RPG is a New Weird Ultrafantasy RPG set in the Utter Islands, the world-corpse. It is a game about finding a reason to keep living. It is a game about fighting through the gloaming. It is a game about finding community, treasure, and power. It is a game about becoming content with yourself. It is a game about love and wizards and martial artists. You might not be able to change the world, but you can change yourself.

hey gang, sundang rpg is out on patreon! i like to call it monsoon asia marxist-buddhist disco elysium wuxia

enterprising to note ig that i plan on releasing the core for free on itch after it goes thru some playtesting in the patreon

A couple of sketches from my novella, Metalmade. I meant to post this back in February for the 2nd-year anniversary of its launch, but I got sick and didn't have the energy to finish it until now.

It's about a sentient robot that gets tasked to spy on a taho-peddler to determine if he's actually an aswang in disguise, but despite her best efforts, she gets quite befuddled by him. That conversation they're having in the 2nd pic was so much fun to write.

Actually this whole novella was so much fun to write, and I have quite a few ideas for Yaya and Digan's adventures in Sagabilang, so a possible sequel is not off the table!

Anyone who denies the Holocaust is a nasty bigot who erases and invalidates the suffering countless marginalized groups, but the Holocaust (very much real!!) is talked about in a propagandic manner, in that the US and its allies set the narrative in such a way that portrays them as the unambiguous heroes and objectively good.

If the Holocaust was taught honestly, it would be mentioned that the US and Canada turned away refugees including Anne Frank's family. The Allies were also all fine with marginalized people getting killed; eugenics was very popular at the time with all of them. They got involved when the Axis started encroaching on them, and not to save vulnerable populations. "Saving the Jews" was just a side effect, and unfortunately something they use to justify the ongoing Nakba, slaughtering countless Palestinians over the past century.

If the US actually respected the story of the Holocaust like it very pleadingly claims it does, it would have mentioned all this, alongside all the other genocides it and its now-allies have been involved with. (It structurally cannot do this, for it would invalidate its own existence if done in full.)

Along with being Jewish, I am also Filipino so I have another genocide under my belt that the US has involvement in. The Philippine genocide (TW for old BW photos of death, destruction, descriptions of war crimes) is rarely taught, probably because the US can't (falsely) claim to be the hero, and also because it's geographically removed.

"Kill everyone over the age of ten [and make the island] a howling wilderness" is a quote from a notoriously bloodthirsty US army officer involved with the genocide and who may have killed up to 5,000 people.

This is partially a late night stream-of-conscious post on genocide and how the US and its allies frame it, partially some longer-stewing thoughts I had been wanting to write on for a while.

Himpapawikan ~

This is a concept art I did called Himpapawikan. In a fantasy setting, I would love to see giant flying sea turtles (Pawikan). This is what inspired this design. I also designed a carriage on top inspired by Vintas (Filipino boat).

Hello, guys ! so I decided that I wanted to write a fanfic about Satoru because I miss him ;)

Here's the link if you guys wanna read it ! just a reminder, I am new to writing so I will take any criticism but please be nice o⁠(⁠(⁠*⁠^⁠▽⁠^⁠*⁠)⁠)⁠o

Anyways, this story is about a fem!readerxgojo (I'm really sorry if you want this to be a gender neutral reader but just as I said, I am new to writing and I don't know how to do some things you guys normally read (?))

Also, this story is taglish but it will be translated, dw (⁠◕⁠દ⁠◕⁠) it will also be like some type of isekai thing but isn't actually close to that 😅 it will take place on a modern day and goes back into time? Something like that ! (⁠٥⁠↼⁠_⁠↼⁠)

That's all ! You can always ask me about this fic if there's anything you guys want to clarify :)

If you do support me with this fanfic, I truly appreciate it ! Thank you ! ♡⁠(⁠˃͈⁠ ⁠દ⁠ ⁠˂͈⁠ ⁠༶⁠ ⁠)

Currently in the release of TKV she doesn't have a gun yet. But she'll be moving into the Gunhexeress Cultivation very soon (especially because of the Captain, if you're caught up!)

also no, she's not an elf

Sharp Ears. Her initiation was into the Demon Mandala Kroma Nagmi. This has caused her to grow sharp demon ears and sharp canines.

Today I told someone asking about SAINTS OF STORM AND SORROW that I'd been inspired by shaman lead uprisings against the Spanish in the Philippines. My man immediately began asking me how I'd portrayed the Spanish Inquisition, I'd hit upon his special interest clearly 🙃

He was thrilled!! He gushed to me about how the Inquisition had brought order and a unified justice system to areas with many violent ruling groups. That it'd helped secure Spain against the Moors and those FAKE converts 🫣💀🫣 Had I explored the many positive impacts?? After all there were many benefits to strengthening empire and sometimes the Inquisition pardoned people!

And I said… well no. Given my story is a power fantasy about drowning colonizers…the way this man's face fell💀

I am just astonished in the year of our Lord 2023 I found someone defending the benefits of empire, forced religious conversion, and the Inquisition to my face

My book is a fantasy but I did a lot of research into how the church solidified power in the Philippines, in great part aided by the Inquisition. Without supervision isolated from their supervisory body in Mexico they acted with impunity, even against other factions within the Church

The Inquisition would go after anyone who stood in the way of the Church's power and land grabs, including colonial government officials that were too effective or too greedy, local political and spiritual leaders. Anyone who prevented the Church from being the unifying force 6/?

You can read here about the ousting and deportation of a governor of the Philippines a powerful and favored Spanish noble who quarreled with the church
