Brother, I'm here.
-- Kurokawa Izana x little sister reader
🖤 — Tokyo Revengers
📝 — spoilers from manga (around tenjiku arc), angst, mention of domestic abuse, mention of blood, mention of murder, mention of death
:a/n — I think I enjoy writing angst what do i do?? jk. hi, here's the third part. enjoy! (wc: 1.7k)
— PT. 1 / PT. 2/PT.3/PT.4/PT.5
Tumblr media
Sano Manjiro stares at his hands. Droplets of blood and the feeling of them getting in his hands present. He felt responsible and god he did because how can he not know that he has another sibling?
Emma’s sobs broke him out of his trance and it was only then that he noticed Draken. “It..it was supposed to be me.” she cries out. “That Kisaki was about to hit me but she protected me and- and-”
“Emma, stop.” Draken softly stops her, heart aching at how the teenager is blaming herself.
But Mikey’s heart ached more when he realised that he almost had Emma dying on his back. Did that make him feel at least a bit of relief? No. Of course not. How could he when his another sibling is the one laying, holding onto dear life?
“I should’ve moved…I was there and I should’ve done something.” they heard Takemichi say but no one was blaming him. No one could’ve known what would happen at that moment except you who knew about your brother’s sick plan.
Mikey stands up, determined. “Emma, Hina-chan, stay here.” he commands and looks at Draken and Takemichi.
“We’re going. I’ll drag Izana here as if it’s the last thing keeping me alive.”
Tumblr media
“Woah, how strong, Mikey! You’re here even after Emma’s death?” Izana asked with a wicked grin but Mikey could see it wavering. He could read those empty eyes; pleading and hope behind.
“What are you talking about, Izana? It was Y/N, our other sister who got hit.” he explains, frowning. “What…?” he hears Kakucho ask, breathless.
“What are you talking about?” he asked once again, stepping forward. “Kaku-chan, you know Y/N-san?” Takemichi asks, eyes widening. “Of course I know her! She’s Izana’s sister! What do you mean she got hit?!” Kakucho’s head whipped to where Kisaki was, blood boiling.
“She’s no sister of mine. I don’t know her.” It was the last thread that snapped loudly and hard as Kakucho stomped his way in front of his king. “She’s your sister, Izana! She’s Kurokawa Y/N!” he shouts, praying to whatever deity out there for his message to come across the kingdom that Izana built around his heart.
“How could you be so sure of that, huh? How could you be when you don’t even know that I’m blood related to no one at all?!” Mikey’s and Kakucho’s eyes widened. A simple huh coming out from their mouths.
Izana tells them how his mother told him that he’s just another son of her ex-husband with a Filipina and how he’s not Emma’s blood-related stepbrother.
But Kakucho wasn’t deterred, telling him that he should meet Y/N because she’s his blood-related sister instead.
A gunshot echoes throughout the bay, silence following.
“You’re so goddamn annoying!” they hear Kisaki say and for one moment, all Izana could think was Kakucho. 
And that set of eyes that he saw earlier.
Regret bubbles in his whole body and it moved faster than his brain could comprehend as he saw Kisaki getting ready for another shot.
Three gunshots were heard this time and Izana waited for the inevitable pain to rain upon him but none came. He didn’t fall nor did he feel a bullet making his body their own home. He looks up and sees Draken gripping Kisaki’s hand, gun pointed towards the sky.
Saved.
They were saved.
“Let’s go visit Y/N, Izana. And…you’re still our big brother.” Mikey says, bowing lightly.
And for the second time that day, the king falls from his throne and onto his knees. But this time, it came with emotions dripping from his lilac eyes.
The Yokohama conflict ended with one loss- Kisaki Tetta who was run over by a truck.
Tumblr media
The beeping sound of the heart monitor was deafening. 
He did this to his sister, didn’t he? How sick and vile of him. Even though it was Emma who was supposed to get hit and die, he knows that everything was fucked up.
Kakucho had filled him with the information he got from you. He got informed that you knew he existed years ago and worked hard to earn money just so you could come to Japan and look for him. How you kept hoping to see him in every street you walked through.
How you’re looking for your big brother.
He was getting impatient. He wants you to wake up and look at that set of eyes similar to his. He was getting impatient but a voice stopped him.
Will she even accept you after what you did? After you turn your back on her?
His breath hitches and his hand longs to grip yours gently. Praying that the apologies lingering on the tip of his tongue will make their way through the tip of his fingers instead and flow into yours, interrupting you in your slumber.
He was getting impatient and he wants you to open your eyes because he wants to see them again. Because he knows there’s a possibility of you not waking up and how he won’t be able to stare back at another set of lilac eyes.
He stares at your limp hand and stops breathing altogether when they twitch. His gaze slowly racked over your form, settling on your face as he waited with bated breath for you to wake up.
But you didn’t and Izana visibly deflates, sighing before standing up to leave.
He doesn’t deserve you. You’re clearly a white paint in his black canvas and he doesn’t want your light fading.
So he does what he thinks is for the best.
Leaving you once more.
Tumblr media
Your life wasn’t as eventful as the others. You have no experience of proper support- financially, emotionally, and physically.
Your stepmother was abusive; always taking her frustrations out on you that you got used to it. Your father doesn’t even spare you a glance while you’re getting beaten up. It was a common occurrence that it got you questioning if it’s normal in a household. (It’s not, you found out later.) Your stepmother did her best to make you think otherwise, after all.
Always saying that it’s for your own good and that she loves you that’s why she’s doing it. You were just a naive little girl new to the world you were brought in and believed in.
Not until you found out that everything in your household is fucked up. Your stepmother and father are fucked up in the head and are irresponsible shits that liked to neglect you. However, there’s a part of you that thanked your father for giving you an older brother even though it took him years to remember and finally tell you one day so casually.
With that knowledge, you found your purpose again. 
Older brother.
A kuya.
Oh how you always wanted an older sibling to take care of you. To baby you and to shower you with affection. You worked again and again despite the pity looks you got for working at such a young age. Were you ten? Thirteen? Fifteen? You’re not even sure anymore.
All you could think about was escaping your shitty household and meeting your Kuya.
That’s all you ever wanted and yet, nothing was ever free to you in this godforsaken world, no? Everything and everyone around you just looks at your expectations, takes them and throws them to the ground and stomps on it for an extra measure.
Maybe it was the price for being greedy for a family. The price for being selfish, not considering how your Kuya is living and proceeding to look for him and bother him with your presence, full of scars and bruises painted by a family.
You were longing and now you’re paying the price in the form of your pounding head and blurry vision.
Your eyes wander around the vicinity you’re in. You’re in a hospital, you figured. Right, you were hit with a bat in the head. Your Kuya Mikey brought you here, hand tugging yours away from death’s own ones.
You see Emma beside you, holding your hand as she sleeps. You notice her puffy eyes and apologise to her in your mind for giving her a scare. On the sofa a few feet away was a pink-haired girl, dozing off in Takemichi’s shoulder who’s also sleeping. You look to your right and see Mikey and another guy, almost bald, looking out the window.
They’re awake. You should call for them, right?
“Kuya.” you softly called out, Mikey immediately turning to you, eyes wide and full of relief. “Hey, Y/N. How are you feeling?” you smile and do your best to nod a little. “Feeling fine.” how idiotic of you to think that Mikey will believe that.
He may have just met you days ago but he’s no fool when it comes to his siblings. 
“Izana is just taking a breather outside.” he says instead of further asking you to tell him the truth. Outside where he’s currently being looked for because he decided to be an asshole once again and disappeared on you.
And yet, somehow, you knew. 
You knew that Izana turned his back on you again but you can’t bring yourself to be mad. No, you are blaming yourself for his actions. You are worried because it’s currently dark outside and the possibility of him getting in danger was making your eyes tear.
“I’m sorry…” you sobbed out quietly but it jolted Emma awake, making Mikey grab your hand, asking you what for while simultaneously telling you that it's not your fault and it's okay.
It's overwhelming. You want to hide, you want to run away. Is family supposed to be this reassuring? Are they supposed to be this gentle and soft? Are they supposed to wipe your tears away as they tell you over and over again that everything will be okay?
Are you supposed to feel this safe around a family?
You're too unfamiliar with these…things.
In a way, instead of being the white paint, you're the black canvas and your Kuya Mikey and Emma are the white dots, slowly spreading out with their gentleness.
Draken, Takemichi, and the pink-haired girl stood quietly, watching the Sanos reassuring you, heart aching.
Because you had to know.
You had to know that they’re not your family by blood.
And their heart aches because they’re about to rip away a family, a loving one, from you even though it still hasn’t reached your two delicate hands.
Kakucho stands outside the room with his bandaged body, tears gathering in his eyes as he vows to find Izana for you.
For the now two Kurokawa royalty in his life.
A/N: I'm currently enjoying writing this hahaha I hope you're enjoying the mini series, too, love <3

Could you elaborate more on "Amber shaped Persephone as much as Anais and Rachel did"? Like did she actually have say in things like lyric changes or staging or is it more about her actual legacy and how long she was in the role for?
The second one! to my knowledge she didn't have any direct say in the actual book/script, but ever since they started workshopping the show it was Amber's personality, acting, singing, etc that helped to shape Persephone. She's a very unique and one-of-a-kind performer and her specific mannerisms are what made Persephone, Persephone. Like, I don't really know how to describe it, but if you've seen her in other shows or at solo concerts you can definitely see a very strong overlap between "Amber characteristics" and "Persephone characteristics" and how Ambersephone was a perfect mix of acting as a character while also using her own mannerisms.
Amber was in the show for six years, across four different productions, and that's not even counting workshops. Theatre critics and fans genuinely viewed "Amber Gray" and "Persephone Hadestown" as synonymous in a lot of ways.
Many of the replacements have done a fantastic job at continuing on Amber's legacy while still putting their own unique twist on the role, and that's amazing! Amber is not an easy person to follow and I really do love most of her replacements. I love how they honor Amber's legacy while putting their own spin on the character.
Also there's just so many aspects of Persephone's character that are just...Black culture. For example, her dance in Way Down Hadestown is a jazz funeral. And tbh it's really offensive to have white actors in that role doing the same thing. If Amber had never played Persephone, Persephone would be a completely different character.
Persephone was exclusively a Black/mixed-Black role for almost 5 years.
(As a white fan, I'm not going to comment on non-Black POC playing the role. I ADORE Maria-Christina Oliveras and Shea Renne, who both are Asian-American, and I am not going to comment on whether or not it's 'okay' for mixed Pinoy actresses to play a Black-coded role, because while I do think Persephone should ideally be Black, I'm not going to advocate AGAINST Filipina leads. White Persephone is a million times more offensive than nonBlack-POC Persephone ever will be. That being said, since I've acknowledged that Way Down is a jazz funeral, I do wish that Shea and Maria had had the chance to honor Filipino culture in their portrayal, in the same way that every other Persephone honors Black culture.)
Basically: Amber Gray and Amber Gray's specific portrayal of Persephone is literally what built Persephone. Especially from a racial aspect, there's so many parts of Persephone's character that you literally cannot separate from African-American culture and casting white people as Persephone is so disrespectful to Amber's - a biracial black woman's - legacy in the show. Also, if Amber had actual say in Persephone's lines, I can guarantee the Chant II verse would never have been cut.

🔥 on aph ASEAN?
Philippines:  I'm kind of glad that the Philippines turned out to be a guy in canon I know people were upset because a lot of fanon interpretations saw him as being a girl but, idk how to explain it without sounding insane or self hating LMAO but I feel like the Philippines being a guy makes seeing ships like Spain x Philippines and America x Philippines less uhh gross to look at. I mean I definitely don't ship those ships but its leaves a grosser taste in my mouth when I see Spain x woman Philippines for example, purely because we uhh all know what the Spaniards did to the women here lol.
I'm not saying that someones a bad person if they ship those ships I mean at the end of the day it's all fictional and people can do what they want, it's no biggie, I just think a lot of people in the hetalia fandom still don't have the ability to be nuanced about ships between countries with complicated histories. I have yet to see a well done analysis on how Spain x Philippines or America x Philippines would realistically work outside of people shipping it purely because it's a coloniser x colonised ship. I'm sure that a hetalia fan who is informed and can give a nuanced take can probably make me tolerate those ships but for now, no not really. . So if Philippines was a girl I feel like a lot of Spain x Philippines content or America x Philippines content would be a lot more disgusting and f3tishistic because Filipinas are already f3tishised.
Also when it's coloniser x colonised and the only reason why those two countries know each other is because one of them sailed across the world to invade the other one unprovoked, it's different from two nations who are neighbours and who war with each other if that makes sense. I think it would be different if Spain and the Philippines were like, neighbours who've fought each other for centuries and who subjugated each other and maybe I'd even like it if that was so, but it's just not the case (this is all coming from a Filipino)
Malaysia: LOL HE'S A SIMP FOR SINGAPORE (same). But honestly I kind of get it like why did Singapore say that Iceland of all people is his fave like what. Hima why are you trying to shoehorn in random Europeans LMAO
Indonesia: I love him but I wish in the manga he was portrayed a bit more like a Chad lol maybe it's because I'm used to the fanon interpretation of him
Singapore: I don't have strong feelings about him and I like his design but again uhh why is Iceland is fave bro💀 again it just seems like Hima trying to shoehorn in random European nations like shhh Iceland has had his turn being venerated by the fandom let the Asians have their go..
Thailand: No strong feelings about him I love him
Vietnam: Strong feelings about her but none of them are negative I LOVE HER XADKJS I just wish Hima would release a chapter of her just beating up America tho <3
Brunei, Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar I don't have unpopular opinions on really because I don't enough about their characters or how the fandom perceives them
Thank you for the ask :D

Hello
I know I'm barely here anymore
But unfortunately the Ritalin shortage in Summer caused me to become hyperfixation on Overwatch, Gabriel Reyes/Reaper in particular (AGAIN), against my very will.
But I'm here to make it everyone else's problem again and have been challenged by @wildissylupus to post my Martina Reyes HCs (or basically character summary at this point)!!!
So
Here
We
GOOOOOO
(Please note I am Filipina, not Mexican or Latine at all, I'm trying my best to research, but please correct me if I'm wrong)
- 1st of all, for me it is Dr. Martina Nuñez-Reyes, women in STEM, iconic
- Born and raised in San Diego, in particular in or by Barrio Logan!
- She is specifically Nahua Mexican with family in Guerrero, Mexico. She has learned a lot of Precolonial History and mythology, both in school and from her family. She also speaks Nahuatl fluently, as well as Spanish and ASL.
- Sweet, nurturing, professional, good tempered, graceful, makes lots of bad puns (she and Winston got along great), but occasionally slips in some "joking" sadism and morbid curiosity.
- Loves perfume even though she can't wear it often due to her work in laboratories and hospitals, will wear even just a little bit even at home to enjoy it.
- joined a ballet folklorico troupe up until High School, but still remembers the moves well. Specializes in Guerrero style folklorico!
- Excellent cook, amazing baker. Loves to adapt recipes to include lots of spices. (This will come back later)
- Interested in the medical field, specifically medicine itself, after learning about how advanced Mesoamerican civilizations were medically.
- Martina was a regular prodigy, attending an advanced secondary school academy in Mexico City, before continuing on to get PhDs in Medicine, Chemistry, and Pharmaceutical Science by age 24.
- By age 26 she had already made strides by synthesizing and creating medicine that was able to do things like naturally accelerate healing in the body.
- That's also when the Omnic Crisis began. She was inducted by the United States Military among swathes of other skilled doctors to create the Super Soldier Serum for the Soldier Enhancement Program (SEP) at a hidden facility.
- Six months, they managed to get it to an acceptable loss rate of 25%, and test it on 100 Soldiers. She was in charge of overseeing the injections of 20 of the 100 randomly assigned under her, which included Soldier 24, Gabriel Reyes, and Soldier 76, Jack Morrison. It was also done in doses, not all at once.
- She and Gabriel were attracted to each other but didn't act on it for quite a bit, due to the taboo nature of a doctor and a patient. They didn't flirt either, but had moments of "Oh fuck they're hot" before shaking it off.
- After the second round of doses, she lost her first soldier, which made the risk of SEP all the more apparent to her.
- Remember when I mentioned she's good at baking? She stress bakes because it helps make a zen sort of ritual of following steps/regaining a small sense of control. The reason Gabriel loves cookies? It's because he woke up at 2AM catching her stress baking a batch of Chili Chocolate Chip Cookies. It's where they had a heart to heart about Gabriel and the other Enhanced Soldiers trusting Martina and the doctors no matter the risk because they know they're liable to die in the Crisis anyway if they can't make headway.
- As the Crisis gets more dire, the General orders the doctors at the SEP facility to also go through basic military training, which Martina disliked, so she never really went past a machine pistol.
- 33 Soldiers make it out, and she sent with them on missions to retake cities across America. She wouldn't always be an active combatant, but she could hold her own if she had to.
- When Gabriel Reyes and Jack Morrison were selected to the elite Overwatch core team, she helped lead their medical support team. Also yes during this whole time, Gabriel and Martina still were attracted to each other but still sort of afraid to act because not only is she still his Doctor, he's now her commanding officer.
- Also during this period she helps treat a young Angela Ziegler during the bombing of Zurich.
- After fighting alongside Inti Warriors (Specifically Illari's dad) to help retake part of Central and South America, Gabriel almost died, which caused her to go full BAMF, and save him.
(Jack: "... can someone please tell me why our medic is rushing in alone, guns blazing?")
- They have to repair ships and stuff, so they decide to take R&R in reclaimed Guerrero, where Martina shows Gabriel around, and they end up dancing together. It's where they finally give in and end up in a relationship.
- Get married the last year of the Omnic Crisis, and have a son a few years later named Izel (who is the grown man with a family in my heart and soul in the Reflections Comic)
- Dr. Martina Nuñez-Reyes is the first Head of Medicine in Overwatch's Golden Age because goddamnit someone had to have that position before Angela.
- She's also Angela's mentor and sort of like an adoptive mom, Angela absolutely idolized her
Here's where my Canon deviates hard, because Blizzard's timeline makes no sense
(Fun fact this next part exists because I misread Code of Violence and thought that the ash and burning was from Gabriel's memories of Echo Park and not where he was so I straight up thought Martina was fridged a whole ass year before I heard the voicelines and reread it for clarity, but she's not fridged. Just stay with me.)
- On Izel's 6th birthday in Echo Park, there was an attempted assassination via explosions that caused Izel to lose his left arm and replace it with a prosthetic (the man in the Reflections comic has his left arm in his pocket)
- It also very nearly kills Martina, who is 6 MONTHS PREGNANT WITH THEIR DAUGHTER, Graciela
- The family lives, and Graciela has to be c-section delivered prematurely
- This ofc enrages Martina and Gabriel who, after recovery, hunt the motherfucker down to kill.
- It is not a quick death. Martina synthesizes POISON to make that fucker die screaming. (Basically I wanted to flip the Dead Wife trope where the wife lives and is FUCKING PISSED AND JOINS HER HUSBAND ON A ROARING RAMPAGE OF REVENGE)
- Oh yeah and that triggers the birth of Blackwatch lmao.
- Gabriel brought Cole Cassidy home for Christmas where she immediately enfolds Cole into the family.
- Martina and Gabriel also help Cole get his GED.
- Oh yeah Blackwatch
- So Martina supplies the poisons for coercion, torture, and assassination (and torture) to Blackwatch under the table for super covert missions, basically even people at Blackwatch didn't even know about. Ma'am was committing war crimes to keep the world and her babies safe. All while keeping up the sweet, dedicated, professional facade for like 14 years.
- Gabriel tries to get her to make another super soldier serum so he can be stronger, she refuses, they argue, him calling her a hypocrite, and it looks bad, UNTIL
- Shit happens and she accidentally lets a poison slip that gets reverse engineered and kills a lot of people, causing her to retire and Mercy steps up. Gabriel keeps her secret and they end up staying together
- HOWEVER, once the Venice Incident happens and Izel disowns his father, she chooses to not back up Gabriel's choices, whereas their daughter Graciela does, causing them to be separated but still married.
- Gabriel considers leaking her secret, but loves her too much to/wants the kids to have at least one parent they don't detest
- After the Swiss Explosion, Martina and Graciela mourn very badly, Izel rekindled his relationship with his mother but not Graciela
(Izel needs his own post probably lmao)
- Martina tries to move on, but finds she can't.
- listen once a man is willing to cover up war crimes for you, it's a very hard standard to meet
- She rejects the recall initially but to avoid this post from being even longer REASONS, Graciela goes with/gets kidnapped by (it's complicated) Talon, which is how Cole finds out Gabriel is Reaper
- Joins in to get her daughter back, and to redeem herself because she realizes how much destruction she caused even if people deserved it... lowkey she even doesn't fully regret it depending on the person she killed
- Her abilities are she got a CPR glove that can shock people in one hand that can pull Medicated/poison grenades out of a storage and a Pistol in the other and she can inject peeps with medication close quarters.
- She's like 63 currently also (in my Canon, Gabriel got a significant age bump with a bunch of other characters, he is 67 but is technically frozen at age 58)
- blizzard if you read this and wonder why I turned this nameless, possibly faceless character into someone that's committed war crimes, I don't got a fucking clue either
- wildissylupus I'm so sorry for subjecting you to this, like how I will subject my friends to a PowerPoint presentation about my character lore and alternate overwatch timeline on my birthday

Note: Filipino diaspora gallore, self indulgent, Getou is sort of based on me [racially ambiguous + raised up in a multicultural country], unedited (I typed this on my phone)
Not even twenty-four hours since I watched jjk and I'm already feeling inspired wow. I've been enabled by the equally chaotic @stigandr-the-cat to write this and check out @wynncrites version of Filipino AU! Getou
I love that my last post for the year will be something from one of my cultures!
Tumblr media
Filipino! Getou is born to a Filipina mother who went to Japan for work, eventuallymeeting his Japanese Father. Being one of the Filipinos at the time his mother volunteered to help at the embassy when she became a stay at home wife/mom.
Because there were less Filipino speakers at the time, young Getou was dragged along to volunteer day at the embassy where Filipino workers who waited to go home would babysit him.
That's how he informally learnt Tagalog, and and a dialect used in the northern Philippines called Ilocano! Multilingual Getou let's go!
Getou and his mother visits extended family in Philippines with gifts from Japan. When he was a kid he would beg his mom to take him yo shopping trips where they'd buy presents or in Tagalog 'pasalubong'
However with time, and seeing how his relatives treated his poor mother and only loved them because of lapad he slowly starts hating his family. Or starts seeing the bad in all of them, even if he wanted to ignore it or try to count how many good things they've done, he can't help but see them like that.
[Lapad: Filipinos with relatives working in Japan use this to call Japanese Yen because when stacked together they look a mini wood plank]
No one is ever convinced when Getou says he's half Filipino when in the Philippines.
Speaks the language well, but because he doesn't look *filipino enough* people or his relatives invite themselves to speak shit in front of him.
Them: *noticing getou just there in the room* fo you think he understands Tagalog?
I dunno, go ask him
Hey you, you there. You speak Tagalog?
Getou: 'di masyado' not much
[This happens to many times and he's used to it by now]
His guilty pleasure? Eating with his hands and one foot propped up on the chair. The southeast asian pose as tiktok calls it.
One time he invited Satoru to study at his place and Getou's mom being happy that her son started bringing his friends home made sure that Satoru ate well.
Hwr intentions were well, but now Satoru always hovers over him when he opens his bento hoping that it's rice and adobo (or caldereta, Toscino, Beefsteak, etc)
Or Gojo always asks when he can come over to eat with them. It's a compliment to Getou's mom, to him? It's a bother.
'Look,' he says to Gojo as he gives him his bowl of adobo with more extra peppercorns, 'You don't have to ask me. Its annoying. You ate here once, you're always welcome here now. Asking is too repetitive'
[Referring to kain culture, where anyone is welcome to eat at your house or when a person looking for you finds you eating at home you invite them. And I just had to add my mom always feeding everyone of my friends despite cultural differences!]
Additionally, Getou in the Philippines would include:
Being treated like an entertainment piece where his relatives would ask him to give them a sample of Japanese and/or the languages he knows. All them going wow when they hear said language despite not knowing it.
[Experiencing this was such a pain]
Following his mom to markets with the basket in hand because he's just so fascinated. One time he brought a camera with him to take pictures with to show Satoru back home.
Is always excited to ride a jeepney, pedicab and more. Definitely asked his mom once if he could hang at the back of the jeepney ... the jeepney was empty
[Commuters hang at the side of the jeepneys when the inside is full during rush hour to get home. Funfact: jeepneys were left by American soldiers in the Philippines]
Asks his mom for spare change or barya to buy soda. And then asks the shopkeeper to put the soda in the plastic bag!
[In the Philippines and other southeast asian nations they pour drinks in narrow plastic bags with a straw! An experience I recommend]
Because he's half Japanese and has all the looks, he's automatically made the godparent or ninong for every kid born in his extended family or around the area he lives.
Would ask his mom if he could pursue his uni studies in the Philippines to feel beyond the culture he already knows and experience life there.
Tumblr media
It's getting long wow, might make a part 2! But thank you for reading all of this, I hope you enjoyed this ❤️

The past few days have been hectic. Everyone was always in a rush these days, often occupied with tasks in life. Carlos Madrigal can say the same. He's been constantly trying to keep his grades afloat though if someone asked him, he wouldn't care if he got a shitty grade. But then he would remember his mamá's chancla and he would shudder, a chancla from his mother does things to his integrity. Carlos couldn't bear to see his brother Camilo finessing his way through it all, a tiny part of him was jealous and impressed.
It was the end of another day at school but unfortunately for the students, finals were coming up tomorrow. As much as Carlos wanted to go home and just play his guitar, he needed to study to pass tomorrow's examinations. So, he scowls and makes his way to his school's library. He'll just borrow some textbooks and leave. The teen enters the enormous library filled with various students, all cramming to get some studying done. Carlos prevents himself from being one of them.
Briskly, Carlos walks through the bookshelves and searches for the books he needed. He grabbed one for math and for chemistry, all he needed was a textbook for history. As he smoothly navigates his way to another section of the library, he passes through an aisle containing novels and classic literature. 
Carlos stops when he discovers a girl leaning on one of the shelves, reading deeply into a book. He can feel his heart coming to a halt before palpitating rapidly, he gulped and shakingly wets his lips. The girl looked so gorgeous and busy burying her nose into the book, Carlos watched her eyes reading the contents, he was captivated. He stood there for a while, admiring the pretty stranger. Eventually, said stranger catches him red-handed gawking at her.
"I'm sorry, do you need something?"
She softly asks. Carlos finds himself tongue-tied, opening his mouth but a word doesn't get out. He might've looked like an absolute dumbass right now. Luckily, he manages to pull himself together and slowly approach her. He sees the book that she's reading and recognizes it. The book was one of his mother's favorite novels, a love story that was told over and over again. Suddenly, Carlos has an idea.
"I can't help but notice that book you're reading"
"This? Oh, I just started. Wait, don't tell me you're going to spoil the plot for me?"
She furrowed her eyes at him, playfully. Carlos takes the opportunity to chuckle and lean against the shelf, close to her.
"I could. Okay, so Joe and this girl-"
"Hoy! Huwag!"
"I've read the book a couple of times, the plot is pretty predictable"
"Oh, so you read Mr. ...what's your name?"
Carlos shows her a toothy smile as he shuffles the books to his other arm and brings his hand for her to shake. She takes his hand and Carlos tries not to melt inside by her touch.
"Carlos, Carlos Madrigal"
"Nice to meet you, Carlos. I'm [Name] [Surname], do you also have impeccable taste in books?"
"I can admit that I have versatile taste in literature"
"Hmm, impressive. Got any recommendations?"
She shuts her book close and gives him her full attention. Carlos was lying when he said he was a bookworm, he was only trying to garner her attention. Fortunately for him, his mother has a fascination with tons of novels while growing up so he'll use whatever book she read to his advantage.
The teen talked with [Name] for the rest of the day, completely forgetting why he was in the library in the first place. Luck was on his side because of the books he recommended (that he saw his mother reading and that he has heard of) made her think highly of him. Carlos can notice her smile growing bigger with each minute she babbles her favorite novels to him. However, the breathtaking moment fades away when she excused herself to go attend her book club. Carlos hides the disappointment with a casual wave, telling her that he'd see her around.
After she left, he stands awkwardly for a second as a smile crept up his face. It felt so odd to feel incredibly giddy about someone. Carlos was stumped that he forgot to ask for her number. But he had her name and the fact that she part of the book club told him that he'll be seeing her soon. Was this his chance to impress? Perhaps. But Carlos isn't the one to take things for granted.
Carlos gingerly goes home and immediately asks his mother for all of her favorite books to read during his free time.
Tumblr media
Wherever he went, Carlos would always find you, a book in hand. He hasn't gotten the chance to talk to you ever since the first encounter so he resorts to admiring you from afar. Of course, he has done his fair share of stalking you on the internet. Turns out, you were the president of your book club, your hobbies are well..reading, and you like a lot of genres. Since he borrowed some of his mother's favorite books, he started reading. Carlos has finished three books in the past five weeks.
"Oye, hermano, what are you reading?"
Camilo slips beside him in the cafeteria during lunch. Carlos ignores his presence as his twin brother took a peek at the book he's reading.
"Hey! Isn't that one of mamá's books?"
"So what?"
"Why reading them all of a sudden? I thought you hated sappy love stories"
"I...I needed to read it for...literature class"
Carlos tries not to sweat under Camilo's suspicious gaze, to his relief, the latter simply shrugs the topic off. Midway through a chapter, Carlos spotted you in the corner of his eye. He subtly directs his gaze on you, taking a seat and pulling out one of your books, and starting eating lunch. He can feel his cheeks heating up at the sight of your beauty. Carlos slowly lowers his book and begins to stare at you, forgetting about the world at the moment.
God, you looked so pretty like that. You took a drink out of your soda, Carlos never wanted to be a soda bottle so fucking bad. Your [Eye Color] eyes are busy tracing the words on the book, if only you looked at him like that. He watched every reaction you would make to what you were reading and it makes him all fuzzy inside. Carlos wished to brush your hair and whisper sweet nothingness to your ears while you read a book. He wanted to hold you as delicately as you hold that book. He wants to-
"Earth to Carlos?"
Carlos snaps out of his trance and glared at Camilo, who was waving a hand in front of his face the entire time he was daydreaming about you. Camilo smirks his way.
"Oh, I saw what you're looking at"
"You didn't see shit, pendejo"
"Uh-huh. You were swooning over none other than [Name] [Surname]"
"How...how did you-"
"Come on, hermano, you were being obvious. Plus, me and [Name] share the same classes"
Camilo laughs when his twin brother crossed his arms and frowned at him. They shared the same room since five, they were wombmates! Camilo knew how Carlos behaved, and vice versa. He takes a sip of his apple juice.
"[Name] is a fantastic girl. If I were you, I would join her book club"
"...And why would I take advice from you?"
"I heard she was looking for one last club member to fill the spot, don't think you are her first option"
Camilo watched in amusement as all the color in his brother's face drains. Carlos gritted his teeth, he can't let it happen, he needed to join your book club before anybody else steals his place! So, at the end of the school day, Carlos went sprinting to the book club. He found you talking to one of your club members. He sucks in a breath and gently knocked on the door.
"Hey"
"Uy ikaw! Carlos, right?"
"Yeah, I was thinking if...if you have one last slot for me to join in"
"No way...you're joining the book club?!"
"Yeah..."
"Perfect! I would love to have you as my member!
Carlos was enjoying the beaming smile on your face as you excitedly welcomed him into the club and introduced you to the other members as well. All of a sudden, there was a knock on the door. Carlos' jaw dropped when he saw Camilo standing in the doorway, he watched you rush to him. Quietly, he listened to your conversation.
"Here are the papers for my brother's club application"
"Thank you! I'm not really in a rush in finding new members. I have plenty of slots left!"
What?!
"Ah, you see, mi hermano likes to read books so why not join your club, eh? Don't worry he's not gonna bash someone's head against the wall! I promise, he's a really cool guy to be with"
"Well, he has interesting taste in literature so..."
Carlos took a peek and saw the slight tint of pink on your cheeks, he looks at Camilo in the eye and found him mouthing a 'you're welcome' his way. He was conflicted if he wanted to punch or thank his twin brother.
Tumblr media
Joining the book club was the best decision Carlos has made in his entire life. Surely it was because he gets to spend time with you and get to know you more. Weeks after joining the club, Carlos has grown closer to you. Finally, you gave him your number as you two spent the past few weeks chatting.
You would be more open to him, insisting on hanging out after school. Carlos loved to spend time with you alone, reading books. He learned to love your habits and the way you would sometimes speak to him in Tagalog. You two became incredibly close to the point you would invite each other over to introduce to your families. It was a bliss to know that both of your families are fond of you and Carlos.
You two did together almost everything. Having sleepovers, going to concerts, stargazing, and exploring local libraries. Carlos couldn't imagine it wouldn't get better than this until one night. He invited you over to his house for another sleepover. It was way past midnight and both of you were still awake. You just randomly looked at him across his bed with flushed cheeks.
"Carlos?"
"Yeah?"
"I like you, more than a friend"
Carlos merely contains himself as he crashes to the floor. He sits up and looked at you with owlish eyes, you avoided his gaze.
"It's okay if you don't feel the same, I just wanted to let you know..."
"[Name], I like you too. For a while now"
You gave him a bewildered expression before burying your face with a pillow. You have no idea how Carlos waited and wanted to tell that. You shyly glanced at him, fully blushing.
"Really?"
"Yeah. [Name] I...I don't really like reading but I saw you that day at the library and I knew I had to make you mine"
"Carlos, you're kidding"
"I'm not. I literally borrowed my mamá's books and read them all so I can impress you"
"Tangina Carlos pinapakilig mo buong internal organs ko!"
Carlos has no idea what you said but he's guessing that you're expressing how your feelings for him are true. Carlos wasn't a firm believer in romance he often read in books, but seeing the way you look at him now with those lovely eyes, he's on his way to believing.
"So, will you go out with me, [Name]?"
"Oo! Of course, Carlos!"
"Great, I want to know where the rest of ating nobela leads to"

“I-you. Aren’t I supposed to do all this?” She asks. “Maybe,” you shrug ushering her beneath the covers before turning off the light and sliding in with her. “But you looked pretty boneless there, well done to me for that.” She snorts, laying on her back and taking out the last pins from her hair. When she’s finished you settle your head on her shoulder, draping your arm over her middle and intertwining your legs. “Besides, you deserve to be taken care of too.” You hum, snuggling into her. You soon fall asleep, the most comfortable you’ve been in years. You’re asleep so fast you don’t notice the look of child-like wonder that passes over her face, nor the way her heart stops at your words.

If you haven't seen my previous episode, then please [CLICK ME!].
So, without further ado, let's get started:
1st to 3rd Image(s): ↑
• So, we're here at the gorgeous Mang Boy Alfredo Lugawan Restaurant! Where they opened 24 hours of eating Lugaw soup (or any dish that they offered) by customers, like us! This is actually, my first time (or our first time) to stepped in during night time. And we all know, that we love eating restaurant at night time! 😋🥣🌙
Tumblr media Tumblr media
4th & 5th Image(s): ↑
• Such the case, with this delicious "Lugaw Sisig" that I've ordered. By the way, I'm with my family & my related aunt (or "Tita") for a special dinner night! 😁
• Anyways, the cost of "Lugaw Sisig" is ₱119 ($2.16). Mmmm, this lugaw look scrumptious! The combination of sizzling sisig mixed with warm rice porridge! 🥣😋 (along side with common toppings)
• And yes, the word "Lugaw" is a type word for Asian porridge. So, let's dig in! 😋
Tumblr media Tumblr media
6th & 7th Image(s): ↑
• Here's my spoon scooping on two different toppings. The first is the sisig toppings, then next is the boiled egg! Yum-yum! 😋 The fusion dish is fantastic, at the same time, its a bit spicy thanks to the sisig's signature recipe! And the presentation look great on the bowl, I love it! 🥰 Have some, you two! Let's finish this bowl.😋
Tumblr media Tumblr media
8th & 9th Image(s): ↑
• Minutes later, we're all done! Thankfully, they offered us a manual service of drinking water to wash out our meal! 💧😊
Overall:
• It's a unique dish, on what could be otherwise, a normal porridge topped with sizzling meal that Filipinos/Filipinas know in love. Will I ordered it again? Absolutely! 😁 However, I want a try other menus that they offered from this lugawan (porridge) resto establishment. And my paper dolls completely agrees.😊

Criminals or Slaves
Would you know if someone really has a tendency to kill or do criminal acts? Criminal would probably be the only person that will warrant a bad treatment.
When I was in rehab, I saw some people who have been quiet and obedient. Not as angry as me for being locked. When they got out, we still see each other in the facility weekly. Answering lies in our worksheet. At least for some. They are provided. Some speaks of wealth, but their family would immediately report disobedience and bad behaviour. I find that trigger happy, lies, power tripping. Same abhorrence that I felt when my family started stating the reason why they brought me in. In one of our sessions online. I can imagine others laughing at my misfortune. The people that I fed and sent to school. I scared them? Wow. I was just too lazy to do anything at home. I just watch IU and other Kshows. Duh! I used to suffer being with my cousins who watch nothing the whole day but MTv. De Vera would say again that they are me? Hear ye... Their just MYX (local Music Channel) Well, sometimes we watch movies. And yes, my ate's only local, VIVA shows. My kuyas yeah MTv only.
Anyways, they are now old and have their own family. I think they were told that I was crazy.
I was crying for help. I want them to stop. I think they profiled me as a mistress. F* you. Read ok. I said I am thankful, and that interaction is only that period where I'm supposedly have put everything to an end, but they are more secured that I am a whore. Their truth is that I should be cheap and desperate like Melojane, Cherry, Leleth, Arjun and Monatus. My fault that I am surrounded by them? Oh please, I am really not artistic.
I forgot, they are expensive for them.
Rehab, a dumpster for people whose family are prodded and triggered to manipulate and enslave.
I will not accept my family's good faith until they continue to thank my mother's family and not my father's. I am my father's. Not those filipina women who searched for a rich foreigner to earn and support their family. What I have given them are not enough because what my father's have done are also not enough. They forgot that they never asked for help, visited only on new year. No thank you after. My father is dead so no one will go to them and ask for help. My mother always fight and badmouth my father's so she can only asks her siblings who also were pressuring me to pay while supporting my family expenses. My siblings never asks anyone but me for help. Ingrates. They give me money now? My savings from my cancelled insurance is already emptying. They give me? I wish I can return them all this month. I wish I won't need to spend them for my needs. I want to be away from them. Yeah, were ok. We're casual but things will never be the same again. No sorries because they feel what? Ashamed? Humiliated? becaue of my posts? wow...
And me? Crazy?
I wish they suffer the same. I wish those who will say the same suffer too. The way I did.
They want me to kill myself? Cause my father wasn't able to kill my molester which made us all cheap?
One talk, Rehab? In rehab, itchy collar?

12:03 am
I still have windblow trap... Just got back from Montana and we had our first practice call... Well, Mia did good... Me? I had 3 out of 10 calls that I wasn't able to put memo but I went back to finish the memo... I had a hard time on navigating the tools while talking over the phone, I got panic and nervous...
So, meaning my calls were flop calls only 3 somehow succeed today... This call center agent thingy is really weird, stressful and challenging for me. It is hard at first to multi-task meaning you talk, think and navigate tools on screen all at the same time. IT IS REALLY HARD ANGELS!
I feel somehow intimidated on the new girl there which I don't like, I only want Coach Melai as our girl coach other than her, I'm not welcoming unless a foreigner girl...
I don't want any girl Filipino coach who will enter that Montana room where we learn the skills, other than Melai only...
Kevin and the other guy were there as a new mentors...
Coach John was there as always... Melai is on her rest day until tomorrow and she will go back on Monday...
Coach John told me these act if I forgot to put memo after the call, it is terminable and I told him I wanted to do this job, why other women can do and why I can't... I told him can you make a way not to terminate me, I mean I wanna stay for the job... I feel hurt and irritated and somehow intimidated... I told him what about a "blow" I need money and I wanna do the job.
I feel so angry on the nature of the job... I know Mr Gokongwei is partly probably an owner of some plans on a particular company handled by Iqor... Here in call center is different... Many fakes and liars... Sometimes you will say who done it???
I can't accept it that why those Filipina women there can do it? Why, I can't??? I just need help angels that I wanna acquire skills no matter how slow I'am...I wanna be untouchable but how angels? I'm really asking coach John... Can I give you blow??? I just don't like being kick-out...
First I can speak English doing the job in call center can give you complex... 2nd it gives an intimidation coz why other women can do it? And why other older people can still do it? Why, I can't????
The obstacle on the phone is the way of talking of your customer or their talking styles... Some customers are not clear on their way of delivery of their words... Some are super slang... Sometimes words are not clear... An obstacle....But why they can,why I can't?
Hoping to reach the foreigner owner there.... Can I stay for the job? I feel irritated and angry... I feel intimidated..
10:06 am
I have favour on my angels if my baby John die, I also want to die... Coz I know there are rituals in this world....I wasn't able to go up that is the sad part ...
My baby John is not eating since Thursday crime, I hate some people in the Church Of Christ who got the ritual of endless life....
10:32 am
Probably he wants bread... John wants to eat bread probably and their df.. Whew!
10:40 am
Special thanks to Robby...
The new guy in the classroom from wave 563... He is originally from BGC... For calming me last night while doing my practice calls ...
11:07 am
Early morning today John is barking on me around 8am.... He will lick my feet and bark and if he can can lick my face he will do that...He is trying to awaken me that's his character, then if I'm up already I will embrace him and he will wag his tail...
11:25 pm
Will go home now... Funny this coach John he is nice and plastics as well for telling me that I have a language barrier, I will really wanna end-up with an american...
I'm not mad on Coach John but telling that phrase to me that I have "language barrier" it is ouch in my part.... I had 7 calls today then I figured out that all of us had 7 calls today or some...
It is somehow weird that these people are having a weird behaviour on me...
This job is somehow degrading in my part but it challenge me so much... It is not easy coz you are talking over the phone... Not all calls are smooth,not all americans are intellectual... Not all americans are clear on delivering their words... It gave complex on me... It hurts my ego but if I can end-up with a wealthy man and put up my own call center hahaha aside from my Pet Store I want it that way or probably will put up an English Tutorial Business... To save my dying ass....
Most specially, I had have windblow trap that is overlapping in my head angels...
Coach John feels it so much that he is better coz he master everything there... Though, in a way he is good but telling me that I should watch English movies to remove the language barrier....It is a serious kick on my face... Coz customers over the phone even they are americans some are not good on pronouncing their native language.
Coach John wanted me to dig deeper on my customer's lives....But this is job and job and an important job but just a job professionally.... But in a way my customer on 7th wanted to cancel their 4 lines and I just confirmed it if she wanted to really cancel the 4 lines and she said yes! I asked why? Coz it is no longer connecting on the other device. So I just made a shortcut probe to my customer that if that's the only reason that "she will no longer use it"... My customer said yes! I'm not gonna use it anymore... For me? That's it....

Officially diagnosed yesterday. I can't seem to beat my anxiety despite having assurances.
Hi again! You may remember me from my initial post this month as the Filipina girl who was initially dreading whether my condition was Keratoconus or not. Well, surprise surprise, it is. I just got my official diagnosis today from an opthalmologist who specializes in corneas. I got the initial check-up done (Checking for vision, eye pressure, etc). I looked into so many eye machines yesterday it was pretty overwhelming. After spending half of my day in the eye center, the doctor confirmed that my case was 100% Keratoconus and that i am a perfect candidate for Cross-linking (CXL). These are my key takeaways based from what my doctor said: * He reiterated a bunch of times that my case was not an emergency. * I will be coming back for a follow-up check up after 3 months for him to observe the progression of both my eyes. * I concluded that my case was fairly mild based from what he said. * I am in line for the Cross-linking procedure. Which was to be done in 3 months from now i suppose since he said i'll be back to see him in September. From the results shown in my Corneal Topography, my Kmax in my good eye is 45.01 while in my worse eye, the Kmax is 46.92 I'm feeling anxious. Despite the doctor reassuring me that possible vision loss is reversible and that i am not going to experience blackout blindness. To this day, 3 opthalmologists have told me i am not going blind and yet my brain still can't trust their professional opinion. Indeed, this is a battle i will face and this waiting game will make me more anxious than ever. But, hey. I am grateful my case is fairly mild at least. The doctor already reiterated that it's not an emergency. It's high time i trust his judgement and not my anxious brain. The 3 opthalmologists i went to also prescribed me eye vitamins (they're food supplements), lubricating eye drops and anti-histamine eye drops for when my eyes are itching. So that i can avoid scratching/rubbing them. Basically, i just want to sought out assurances from fellow KC warriors in this subreddit. An anxious 20-year old is in dire need of your comforting words. submitted by /u/SuspiciousAmoeba1128 [link] [comments] https://www.reddit.com/r/Keratoconus/comments/volhkg/officially_diagnosed_yesterday_i_cant_seem_to/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=tumblr

Thank you, May 2022. You were a rollercoaster ride. From tears of hope to tears of despair for the country to tears of finding hope again.
It may normally take a number of weeks to a number of months for me to recharge before going out again to socialize; but this May, I realized I went outside and met with people seven times within two weeks. House-to-house campaign in Trabajo Market, Brgy. Tatalon Mini Rally, two LRT campaign nights in Ortigas and Gilmore/Cubao, Meeting de Avance in Makati, Elections, Thanksgiving Party in Ateneo. And that was after an eventful week in April as well (Pasay Rally, Galas Mini Rally and Solidarity Walk). I crammed what I could given the limited time, because I only got fully vaccinated in April. Exhausting for the body and social battery yes, but everything was worth it!! Fire rekindled, passion reignited, I met like-minded people who showed me that there is still a lot of promise for the nation. 
Thank you so much, Kakampinks!! I'm not a huge fan of huge crowds, but I feel at home when I'm with you and all the rallies left me hopeful, nourished, and at the same time hungry for good governance. I admire you all for your efforts and volunteerism since the very beginning, and you’re the ones who inspired me to go out and take part, too, albeit I started late. Salamat sa pagtindig niyo at pag-inspira sakin na tumindig kasama niyo.
This is what Leni Robredo does, she brings people from all walks of life together and inspires us to go out of our comfort zones to fight for a country with good, accountable, and just leadership. She embodies that hope, the hope that there's still a bright future for the Philippines even when so much corruption and injustices have happened in the past already. Her integrity is a beacon of light, truly liwanag sa dilim. I never heard her quote any Bible verse, but she ALWAYS lives the Bible. She's the perfect example that actions speak louder than words. She inspires me to be a better Filipino, a better human, and I'm sure 15,035,773 (plus all enlightened teens under 18) feel the same. (I will naturally go back to needing significant time in between days outdoors, but I'll do my best to be a better Filipina.)
VP Leni, thank you for all that you've done and you're still about to do. I will never regret campaigning for you in 2016 and 2022. We all know your impact will not end in office. You will continue making a difference even as a private citizen, just like you always did even before you entered politics. Angat Buhay non-government organization will help millions of lives.
And we are with you.

AAAA I saw that you do matchups for Encanto and I dont know if its still open so Im testing my luck here and would like a romantic pair for me! Its fine if it isnt too detailed!
She/Her, Filipina!
_My personality is like Pepa! I relate to ger alot due to me having anxiety disorder and just being stressed even in the slightest thing!
_I adore animals and babies! I would like to take care some of them and of course spoil them a bunch!
_I find the most randomest things funny, though friends describe my energy as very chaotic as well as a diva.
_I am a very emotional person, though I am working on it to not be as obvious as now!
_My love language would be physical affection, I adore hugs a bunch and show my friends how I am greatful of them by doing those or just anything physical alot! I am not very good at words so I guess thats why.
Also happy holidays btw! I hope your would be as great as you! More blessings to come!
Happy holidays to you, too!
Okay, so this may sound really predictable considering what you said about Pepa, but I swear there's more to it than that. I think your perfect match would be Felix Madrigal!
So, obviously, Felix has experience in helping people with anxiety. After all, Pepa is shown to be very anxious and has really big emotions, and I'm his daughter was overstimulated a ton when she first got her gift. He's also been there to comfort Agustin when he was feeling "unceptional," so we already know he's a very sweet and caring person who is willing to help anybody going through a tough time.
He loves children, and I think he would just gush if he saw you coddling or spoiling one like I'm pretty sure he has done before with his own kids. He screams "fun dad" to me, and I love that for him.
He's also quite the performer and comedian. He has a knack for storytelling, and I'm sure he would take every opportunity he could to make you laugh. He also clearly has a thing for women with a strong and attractive personality, so I'm sure he would love your diva side as well!
He will be there to affirm your emotions no matter what you're feeling and will guide you through them so that you don't have a meltdown or overreact to anything. However, he will never invalidate your feelings and will constantly reassure that its okay to be emotional. That's what makes you human, after all!
His love language, in my opinion, is also physical touch. I mean, have you seen the way he seems to hold onto Pepa every chance he can get?! If he's with you, he's most likely got his arm around you. Hugs and cuddles are a must for him, but if you need your space, "say no more amor."
So yeah, I think your perfect match would be the short king, Felix Madrigal!
