This scene of Crispin and Basilio is so adorable, but it's heart-wrenching when you think about the context.
Their father, whom they were excited to finally meet, just tried to eat their hearts, and their mother died trying to protect them. Now, the two orphaned boys are staying under the house of the people they were fighting against only days or even hours ago.
Despite all this, the two boys sleep soundly together, innocently trusting the strangers around them, as the clan leaders are literally arguing in the other room about whether they should be killed. They were brought up in a life of blood and violence, yet beneath all of that, they were still just children used as weapons.

I was thinking about the Evil!Alex vision and how the Kambal fits into the picture.
Did they become corrupted like Alex did? Did they stick by her side as they saw her heart grow dark and her actions become crueler? Maybe they were happy to finally unleash their wrath without any moral restrictions?
Or maybe they wanted to fight back against Alex's madness? Did they see Alexandra change and wanted to stop her, but because of their permanent bond with the masks, they had no choice but to be under Alex’s control? Or perhaps they love Alex too much to leave her and would instead just do her bidding as they have always done rather than hurt or betray her?

Hey guys, I think many fans might have only watched the Trese animated series, which covered only the first 3 comic books. But there’s so much more lore and content to be talked about from the comics!
So, I want to ask my followers:
if most are okay with it, I’ll just tag my posts with comic spoilers so that people can still avoid them if they want to. I just wanted to ask since there’s still no news about a 2nd season and the foreign version of the comics are released late compared to the Philippine publication. 🎭 🗡️

More childhood lore from Trese Lite: Postcard Book 1!
So, here’s another one of my fav postcards from the book. The card shows young Basilio receiving a cup of chichirya (chips/junk food) from a man named Mang TengTeng, with Crispin happily crossing the street towards them while holding two bottles.
From context, Mang TengTeng seems to be a mangangalakal. In Philippines, this is someone who picks up junk like bottles, newspaper, cartons, and scrap metal to sell to the junk shop.
Anyway, the postcard had this message written on its back:
Dear Papa,
Mang TengTeng came by today. He brought some chichirya for us. After the Kambal finished their merienda, they rummaged through the scrap metal in the kariton. By the time I finished eating, they had crafted three different types of weapons. It really is in their nature to be destructive and wage war! I still doubt you and lolo made the right decision.
~Alex
What I found interesting here, besides how adorable the Kambal are, was how they were able to create weapons incredibly fast and just from scraps. I love the idea that even though most of the weapons they wield now were made by the Metalero, they actually have the ability to craft their own. I like to imagine that the Kambal has their own workshop where they create various kinds of deadly experimental weapons as a hobby. I hope that we get to see them use their own crafted weapons in the future! They can definitely fight with martial arts if stripped off of their weapons but it’d be funny to see them insist on crafting a make-shift gun from junk just because they find it more fun to fight with weapons.
There’s also young Alex still voicing out how much she distrusts the two war gremlins and hates that they’re now her adopted baby brothers lol.

when ur girlfriend tells u to come over so she can "rearrange ur guts" but ur a manananggal and she's a med student 💀✂️
twitter
[Image Description: A drawing depicting a med student studying her manananggal girlfriend's intestines, which are laid out on layers of tarp and plastic sheets. The whole piece is in warm shades of yellow, orange, and brown.
The student has books, notes, and a box of used bloody gloves to her left. Her gloved right hand is placed on the thigh of the manananggal's detached lower body, with one leg casually crossed over each other. Intestines and stylized blood pour from the latter's pelvis, staining her jean shorts red.
The manananggal's upper body and wings rest against a pillow and a drawer. She is scowling and looking slightly peeved at her phone.  Next to her is a water bottle and a plate of street food, with an uneaten stick of dugo. /end ID]

Here’s for my current favorite trio: Alexandra, Crispin and Basilio of Trese at Netflix. I took the liberty of changing the twin’s character design to differentiate them a little bit more. I truly enjoyed working on this :)
