The Cicada-Song Solstice is absolutely peppered with little Kagepro references and callbacks. This formed a large part of the fun designing it!

An offering candle I made on the full moon last night for Magwayen, Philippine goddess of the sea and the underworld. She is depicted as a beautiful woman carrying a budyong (conch shell) to help her shape shift into creatures, and is said to ferry the souls of the dead to Sulad and Saad, the lands of the ancestors 🌊🐚🖤

choose your fighter! (ibong adarna vers.)
Choose to play as:
Don Pedro, the eldest prince of Berbania. Certified dad pleaser.
Don Diego, the second prince. Plotting a coup as we speak.
Don Juan, the youngest prince. Dad's favorite - also The Narrative's.
Doña Maria, princess of the Crystal Kingdom. Unhinged sorceress.
These are the premade PCs for Ballad of the Princes Three, an Ibong Adarna ttrpg. In Ballad, you each play as one of the brothers + Maria, acting out different versions of the Ibong Adarna story.
Parallel to this, Saints (higher-existence beings with meta influence) spectate and comment on the royals' performances. They are:
Plata Panata, the Saint of Devotion. A bloodied automaton of pure silver.
Nining Matsing, the Saint of Wit. A crafty monkey always in a rivalry with her friend Turtle.
Lerong Sinta, the Saint of Fortune. Her luck alternates between good and bad. Likes papayas and hates falling down.
Prinsesa Blanca, the Saint at the Gates. Gatekeeps the universe's secrets. Doña Maria is her self-insert.
In case y'all were wondering, Doña Maria is a character that shows up in the second part of Ibong Adarna - schools usually only cover the first part. For her design, I was inspired by Utena + gave her snail motifs as a reference to being cursed to crawl like a snail in the Ibong Adarna story.

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.

Ang Alamat ng Tarsier
Noong unang panahon, may isang tarsier na naninirahan sa kagubatan ng Bohol. Siya ay isang matalinong hayop na may kakayahang makipag-ugnayan sa ibang mga hayop sa kagubatan. Hindi siya kasing-liit ngayon kundi katulad ng mga regular na hayop sa kagubatan. Ngunit isang araw, may isang kaharian na nagtungo sa kagubatan at nagdala ng malakas na mga instrumentong pang putol ng kahoy. Hindi naging…

Tale of Mischief
With gangly limbs and the head of a horse, you're a wild trickster inhabiting clumps of bamboo deep in the forest.
Lose Your Way: You can alter a target's perception of space so that they become hopelessly lost in whatever area they are in, provided it is not one they are extremely familiar with such as their own home. The target can break free with a successful Wits roll against your Heart.
Wedding of Tricksters: Once a scene, you can turn the weather to rainy when it is sunny and vice versa for (Heart roll) minutes.
To Tame the Horse (Weakness): If someone successfully plucks a hair from your head, you owe them a forfeit and are cursed on contested actions against them until the next dawn.
