I don't like talking about twitter drama anywhere but I just found the funniest twitter drama I've seen and it's literally about turon (a filipino snack made up of a fried wrapped banana with glazed sugar). Here's the translated thread as I guide you to this insanity:
"I SCOLDED CASHIERS AT SM MANILA SUPERMARKET. The line to buy a turon was long and there were only a few turon left on the stand. I was in the middle of the line and there was a lot more people behind me that wanted to avail a turon."
"There were 2 cashiers that were on break or had clocked out maybe that went to the cashier of the turon stand, and I heard that they were trying to reserve 2 turon. The cashier said 'Go to the line hey' but these two insisted that they don't need to go on the queue. So my blood started boiling because I really hate getting cut off in line."
"Then the one cashier took 2 turons for the two cashiers that cut in line. One of them said 'Dat ours?' then the cashier gave the turon to the two cashiers that cut in line and were waiting at the counter to pay. So my blood boiled even more."
"Then I told the cashier 'Miss you actually let these two cut in line while there's so many people in line, you're being unfair to the people waiting at the back' the cashier said 'Ah the two, sir?' Then I replied 'Obviously, yes!' with a bit of an angry tone in my voice."
"The 2 cashiers that cut in line for the turon were already holding them then I told these other two who were assigned in the counter that 'If you don't give up the turon, I'll let your manager know, there's a lot of people in line hoping to buy it too.' Dont tolerate that kind of attitude. So unfair!"
"The two cashiers didn't really say anything and they took the turon from the other two that cut in line. I just don't get why there's these kinds of people that could already see that there's a line but are still forcing themselves in and would choose to be unfair to others."
"Given that they're employees of SM, shouldn't they be more understanding because we're customers where they work. I'm not saying that the customer is always right, I just wish that they also know what's right and wrong. And there, I was able to buy a Turon with Chocnut*. Delicious!"
"And the people in line behind me because they were also able to buy some. 😊"
Additional Context:
Turon in SM is priced at PHP 25 which is relatively cheap. It's bout 0.50 USD?
More comparatively, seeing as OP looked at least middle to upper class (we'll discuss that later), it would've been easily affordable to him, but maybe a bit of a struggle for the two cashiers since they make less than the national average and are also contractual, often losing their jobs and not having any benefits.
Chocnut - a popular Filipino peanut butter chocolate that has a powdery consistency. it often melts in your mouth and is widely popular and beloved across the country.
This shit blew up and I mean blew up like this was just over ONE thread
It blew up so much that TURON started trending in Filipino twitter
Most people agreed that although cutting in line is bad, it seemed like OP felt way too proud of himself and probably should've just let it go because they were probably underpaid, overworked employees who only had 15 minute breaks.
OP's replies were also reeeeally self-important like
Person 1: mygod girl just dont anger a hungry person. lols OP: I stood up not for myself but for the people who were in line too and willing to wait. Again, respect and let's just be fair. Person 2: Oh no, he rly thinks of himself as a hero after what he's done here 😭😭😭😭
People jokingly started calling OP patay-gutom (lit. dead-hungry), a term we use here for someone extremely hungry and typically those who are hungry because of extreme poverty so OP decided to prove the haters wrong by... telling people that he was actually a millionaire???
Person 3: You're a bit patay-gutom sis in this part. All that lashing for turon? Hahaha. Get a life girly! Person 3: This is the deleted tweet of sissy @/op's handle [Screenshot of OP's tweet with an attached censored image of one of his bank account information that shows that he has 1.5 Million Pesos. OP: Me who's patay-gutom and a girly with no life, is this okay now? Or do I SS my other banks? Jkkkk✌🏻]
So anyway, here's some of my favorite tweets translated!
The turon of SM, bow The turon of SM is queued for The sweet banana, sugar and chocnut Spreads at every bite Giving joy to those in line and the cashier Yet the poor cashier Who stood for ten hours Was denied two of the turon...
Next time you should just buy turon here I mean you have P1.5 M in Metrobank anyway [Image of the top of a menu for Amanpulo Clubhouse Restaurant]
The line for turon at SM jk: [screenshots of two videos of people slowly walking in a line in a crowded railway station]
motherfucker your thread is so long that if you just used the time you used to type to just go to the next sm to buy turon
------------------
It's officially been about a day and half since this happened but it's still trending right now which is pretty crazy. I don't think I've ever been this blown away with discourse over filo twitter until now. I will probably think about Turon Man for a good while.
#mayaposts#mayapino#filipino#philippines#twitter#twitter drama#discourse#twitter discourse#turon#bananas#sm manila#manila#idk what else to tag this as#turon man#long post#people calling him a karen is so funny ngl#like honestly i get getting pissed off by this and yeah i could see people i know do this kinda thing but posting about it and then adding#what's essentially an ''and then everyone clapped'' in the end really made this story personally#then op revealing himself as a millionaire? *chef's kiss*#all for a cheap fried banana snack that from a chain mall that's honestly pretty mid compared to other easier and cheaper places you could#get it from#i know i do mostly history stuff but this was just so funny my friends who are otherwise also disengaged from twitter had been laughing#about this man for at least an hour now#we'll probably reference him for days to come#i also decided to translate this manually because the auto-translate isn't giving it justice + it didn't translate some of the tweets fsr

Why didn’t you like TAR? Ngl I found it overrated too
spoiler warning for tar (2022), and tbh this is very ranty and gets very rambly
okay, so firstly, i will say that everyone in the film did give good performances, i get the cate blanchett hype, i'll give it that and the cinematography was nice
but like everything else? it just felt so shallow and full of itself. like okay wow white lesbians can fully assimilate into white male dominant spaces and be just as bad as them!! like okay, most poc already know this, this is a conversation that has been dabbled into for a while. and like fine, this is a film by a white person for white people, but even taking that into account, it still just feels like a film that's just talking without really saying anything. and i have things that i didn't really like or make sense to me like why is a supposed to be an up-and-coming conductor working as a personal assistant? why is the fact that whether or not she took advantage of her former pupil so ambiguous? and i'm sure there are others that i can't think of at the moment.
and like i can forgive everything i've said so far, but really it's the last ten minutes that just... but okay wow the fact that this is a film by a white person for white people really made itself known 💀 and like sure, i am a filipino who lives in the philippines, of course, i can like spot things others won't and be super nitpicky, but the portrayal and the implications the film makes of my country just makes me want to put todd field into a guillotine! like she has a big fall from grace in the western classical musical scene, at the bottom of the barrel is conducting a video game score in the philippines. like, firstly, is the whole it being meant to be the philippines but really filmed in thailand + that whole apocalypse now line meant to be some weird meta thing?? because it doesn't work either way. anyway, does todd field know that we have twitter in the philippines? does he not think in a nation that is one of the most consistently recorded as being very much Online, no one in the classical music sphere here would have heard of lydia tar? that no one would have made a post calling her and the event organizers out? i mean obviously not, based on how he portrays filipinos as being the ones stupid or not-in-the-know enough to give lydia a job. and like seeing it as almost an honor for them to have her, a white lady there, giving her flowers and a gift basket (idk how to word this it's just very colonial mentality). okay, there's two places the event she was hired to do would be happening at, manila and cebu, and since they went to pagsanjan (where apocalypse now was filmed) that can only mean that she's meant to be in manila. and so that just gets to me even more, because i live in manila, i have been to the nerd conventions, i have aunts with connections to the theater, one of them is literally a production manager in events!! and i say this because we see lydia in what is definitely a budget hotel room, then we see her at some random alleyway getting into a sketchy building while it's pouring rain, and then she's in a meeting in a very poorly lit room, and the scene where she's working in a karinderya. and like, the event she's been hired to do, which i later found out is kind of a big thing in japan (and that just adds to what i'm gonna say), would have been organized by people with money. and keeping the whole "it's an honor to have her" thing in mind, in real life, she would have been put up in a much nicer hotel room (i'm by no means rich, and i've stayed at much nicer rooms), they would have most likely arranged for someone to drive her to the meeting and the driver would most likely have an umbrella and would have held it as she walked to the door of an average office building most likely in a nice part of metro manila, then she would have gone to work in a starbucks. but no ofc this doesn't happen in the philippines it's a third world country, they don't know shit, and are definitely not known for their hospitality..... then there is ofc the massage parlor scene 💀 just really fucking disgusting all around. while it was a long time ago, i did write a paper on sex tourism in my country like i know this is a real thing that happens, but at this point, it has been way too many strikes for me. from the set-up, like ofc the man at reception thought she meant *that* (again, she would have been put up at a nicer hotel that probably would have had an in-house spa, also why did he have her prescription?? also we don't have those orange bottles here), and to like the scene itself?? like yes, a white person being asked to pick a sex worker in a line-up, excuse me, fishbowl (wow so oriental!!) in a third world country is a very appropriate parallel for the process of auditioning orchestra members 🙃
so yeah maybe i should be allowed to kill todd field
#i mean makati central business district and bgc and like maybe ortigas and maybe area near sm moa when i say ''nice part of manila'' btw#that's where theaters are but also just where the offices are most likely to be#ugh i told myself that i wouldn't get worked up over answering this#sorry this is so long i hope it makes sense#anyway rip to the things i planned to do#personal#asked and answered

Hii can you write headcanons for all the Mikey’s on a reader who has a lot of energy and who’s really a goofball like she jokes around all the time she also bounces off the damn walls😭 can you also throw some nsfw in there if you can can can u also include what are the punishments for her when she gets to out of control
tysmmm if you can’t it’s fine but I love your work sooo much keep up the good work I love you and happy birthday I hope I’m not too late🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you sm baby, I really appreciate it!!!
TW- Drugging in Kanto!Mikeys
Toman\OG timeline- This version of Mikey would quite like your personality, quite a bit actually. He thinks that you constantly joking around brings a nice change to his constant gorey environment, so it's a nice changes of pace for him. Although he does expect you too be serious sometimes and when you're constantly bouncing around will lead to punishments, because of you obviously not listening to him. He's not too harsh in these punishments simply because he thinks it's cute when you're all excited and having fun being hyper. But when he does punish you, they're more... playful? He'll just keep you in his learn, make you cock-warm him occasionally. Letting you know that if you move, you won't get too cum at that night, so just sit here and relax as he takes care of paperwork.
Manila- He finds you quite the amusement. He'll even play along with you, but you can be quite over-whelming sometimes and more often then not, he'd like too just relax with you and he can't do that when you're constantly all over the place, jumping around and spewing non-sense. If the high-energy is from you being constantly couped up in the house because he doesn't let you leave, he'll take you out, but only for a little bit and either when it's really dark out or it's very early in the morning and he'll let you run around and do whatever it is that you need too do in order too calm down and not be so hyper-active. If taking you out isn't enough, he'll exhaust you with sex, he won't really punish you because he finds your sporadic behavior pretty cute and albeit a bit of stress relief, but if he needs too lay you over his lap, he will.
Kanto- The worst when it comes too having a partner like this, Kanto!Mikey is the most likely too dish-out punishments simply because his patience is near non-existent at this point. He lacks the patience and his dark impulses are running rampant at this point and he sees your obnoxious behavior as an inconvenience of sorts and he especially won't be too happy when he tells you too settle down only for you too be all over the place minutes later. He doesn't care for exhausting you through sex, no, at this point, his punishments will be more focused on the physical aspect because of your personality. He'd be very much into physically exhausting you play-fighting of sorts, more like holding you down and making you tire yourself out and if that doesn't work, he has other methods, such as drugging you a bit, nothing too serious, just some sleeping pills
Bonten-He gets pretty annoyed with your constant high energy, it's pretty exhausting for him, especially when he just wants too lay down and relax with you. This is another version of Mikey that takes your constant bouncing off the walls when he tells you too calm down, as disobedience. You're someone that he finds pretty mentally and physically exhausting. So, he does what he needs too, he'll let you run wild for a bit, but when he's tired, he's done. So, that means a punishment and he's not ever nice when he delivers punishments. If he doesn't have the energy too exhaust you himself, he'll bring in quite a bit of help and by help, he means toys. He'll lay you out on the bed and find the most long-lasting vibrators that he can buy, he'll just sit there and watch you and when you are finally exhausted and you're relaxed, he'll let you up and let you calm down, give you a nice bath if he's feeling up to it.
Street Racer- He'd love you like this, he has pretty high energy himself so he finds it too be quite fun, too be around you. He appreciates how spontaneous you can be. You guys are both impulsive so it always leads to you doing something fun together. He's always up for the constant wild and spontaneous ideas that you, Mikey even encourages you and you impulsivity. But, he does understand that sometimes you're too crazy.. and it's his job too calm you down. While this version of Mikey doesn't punish you, because he really doesn't see a reason on why he should, his method of damage control is just fucking you too sleep. You have so much energy, and he has better things you can do with your hyper-activity, and that's letting him overstimulate you to exhaustion. You won't be hyper when you can barley walk, now will you?
