Setting off on our inaugural Durian adventure in Penang, Malaysia, we hold ourselves for a mix of anticipation, excitement, and surprise. As we took our first bite of the infamousi fruit, our taste buds were greeted with an indescribable flavor that left us speechless. The unique combination of creamy sweetness and pungent aroma was both attracting and polarizing. Despite our initial hesitations, the experience left us craving for more, eager to explore the various delicious wonders that Penang has to offer.

tbh. i have complicated feelings with my own— filipino— culture.
when i talk about culture, at this moment, i am talking about the way they pave houses and the way we make food. i am talking about our language and our traditional clothing. i am talking about how we write and leave behind our words.
and it makes me mad.
how much of what we are today are because of spain, and how much of it is us? so many filipino foods are just spanish dishes reflavoured for our taste. how much of these clothes are ours, really, and how much of these designs were given? why are our words written in these roman letters and not in baybayin?
what would our food be like, if we were never colonized? what would our language, songs, clothes be, if they had simply let us be?
do you understand? the houses in encanto, a town somewhere in europe, is far more familiar to me. i have never stepped in europe in my life. i never will. and yet. i understand a culture so far from my own better than i would understand my neighbouring countries.
they killed our gods and— if i remember correctly— forbade us from speaking our own language. they have killed so much culture in those years they stayed here. and for what?
understand this. this is all my culture now, and not theirs, and i will kill them if they dare take anymore of my culture away again— but then again. how much of this is really mine, and how much of it was theirs?
i have no way of knowing.
intindihan mo ba?

Let's talk about Elsweyr's architecture, specifically how geography influenced it.
In the Elder Scrolls Online base game, players can visit Kenarthi's Roost, which is the starting location for Aldmeri Dominion players. We could easily observe the stilted houses and buildings on the island of the Khajiits. This doesn't really reflect the nomadic culture that majority of the beastfolk have since these kinds of buildings are made to last and are built for prolonged stay in the area. How do I know this?
As a Filipino, I find this style of building especially familiar. Indonesians may also share the same sentiment. In the real world, these stilted buildings are known as "bahay kubo" in the Philippines. They are a staple of provincial life and are designed in a way that prevents floodwater and mud from entering the house. This is why they are built on stilts.
Another purpose of stilt houses is to decrease the occurrence of pests running into the houses. Tropical countries are known for the many insects and small mammals that inhabit them, and stilt houses can help to keep these pests out.
As you can see from the image above, it is quite different from the fantasy world. It is a Filipino stilted house from the Siquijor region. The roof is not exaggerated, and the windows are more open. However, the buildings from Kenarthi Roost are actually very based on real life.
Looking at the image, it is clear where the makers of the game got their inspiration. This is an Indonesian stilted house. The purpose of this kind of roofing is to let the water slide down in times of heavy rains. Observe the stilts on this house, and you can see that they have more support compared to the ones from the Philippines.
Basically, stilt houses are raised off the ground, which allows for better airflow and helps to keep the house cooler. Additionally, the stilts can be used to create a ventilated space underneath the house, which can help to lower humidity levels.
It can also help to regulate temperature and reduce humidity is the use of natural materials. Materials such as wood, bamboo, and thatch are good insulators, which helps to keep the house cool in the dry season and warm in the wet season. Additionally, these materials are porous, which allows for good airflow and helps to prevent moisture build-up.
In this pre-release image, we can see that the columns and stilts are made of stone, and the motifs of the buildings are reminiscent of the styles from Cambodia and its surrounding regions.
Adding to that, the region of Southeast Asia is characterized by heavy rains and storms. In the more tropical parts of Elsweyr, stilted houses are more common. However, as you go up north, the climate becomes less tropical and more temperate, and the houses become less stilted and more made of stone.
Below are some comparisons of Elsweyr to Southeast Asian locations (left is Elsweyr, right is the Southeast Asian location):
The similarities are quite evident.
While some references say that the Khajiit are based on the Romanian peoples of Europe, their architecture is very much based on Southeast Asian styles. It is also worth noting that traces of Persian, Romani, Indian, and other cultures can be found in Khajiit society.
Some YouTube content also states that the Khajiit can be compared to gypsies in the real world, as they are both considered "fringe people." Another note regarding the architecture is that it is also based on the domiciles of the sea gypsies in the Philippines, the Badjaos.
Southeast Asia is a very beautiful region with a great deal of cultural diversity. As someone from the Philippines, I can say from my own experience that foreigners can experience how Western and Eastern cultures merge here.
What other topics should I do next?

Theres a nursery rhyme/folk song my mom used to sing to me often, it was either to get me to sleep or to get me to eat my veggies (it works by the way I complied to the fullest) and the song was Bahay Kubo. How do you think the littles would react to this song?
Since it’s Tagalog, they probably wouldn’t understand it, but I still think it’d be a pretty nice song for them.
The song!
First of all... I love the song lol
It's so cute!!! My goodnesss!!!
I needed some wholesomeness today, and this did the trick, so thank you 💖💕
Such a cute song!
I feel like those who'd love this song the most are Niffty and Alastor. I'm not sure why, but I can see them instantly calming down when it's being sang to them!
Vaggie and Charlie would also love it!
I think Charlie would personally use the song to encourage the littles in her care to eat their veggies and it would work every time!
Blitzø would just be confused because he only speaks Hell language (probably not English just saying. Hell probably has its very own language. One we couldn't comprehend.)
Fizz on the other hand would love it! He loves music and food! It's like- both those things in one song! 🤩
Lucifer, who knows all human languages, would understand the words and love them! He would sing it himself while eating when he's a itty bitty guy and sing it to little Charlie!
-Pentious would ask about the words, then ask a million unrelated questions. But all and all would love it too!
I can see Charlie specifically singing it to Angel and Alsstor while they're being fussy and refusing to eat, and the song would calm them down, and they'll listen after that 💕💕

Sharing Spaces [Elibarra NSFW]
Fandom: Noli Me Tangere & Related Works - José Rizal
Characters | Ships: Elias/Crisostomo Ibarra
Summary:
In a faraway, foreign land, Crisostomo Ibarra finds home in a man that smells like the sea.
"One room please," Crisostomo says in fluent German. Being a polyglot has uses - for instance, booking rooms at inns in order to escape the tyrannical clutches of the Spanish authorities.
Days of looking over his bloody shoulder as Elias dragged him to safety had turned into weeks of hiding from place to place. From the humblest bahay kubo to a rich friend’s abode, they sought mercy and compassion wherever it was found.
Unfortunately, such doesn’t seem to be found in Wilhelmsfeld. At least, not until Crisostomo fishes out silver coins. They were nearing the end of the supplies he’d brought, but it was no matter.

Blah blah blah fake or real Filipinos there's literally only two ways you can be a Fake Filipino
if you support the fascists and the dictators oppressing the Philippines
if you don't support the rights of farmers, indigenous Filipinos, and poor Filipinos
Nobody gives a sh*t how much Tagalog you speak or how much Filipino food you eat or if you know all the words to Bahay Kubo

Titles Under Consideration
“For the love of fuck, do NOT burn a jar of Vick’s VapoRub as a candle, VapoRub is for RUBBING, they have separate products to use as wax melts, and for for a humidifier ffs.”
“You have a bruise? Vick’s. A bug bite? Vick’s. A burn? Vick’s. You want to lay a curse on some pota? Vick’s.”
“It’s October, motherfuckers!”
“Happy Filipino American History Month”
“My face when it’s October, and Filipino American History Month and I was considering doing another comic like last time but no ideas came to me until 4 days in about St. Malo, the first Filipino settlement in the U.S set to the lyrics of Bahay Kubo. But now there’s not enough time to do an in-depth mini-comic so now you either let it slide or frantically slap together something because this will haunt you ‘til next Filipino American History Month. (Even though postponing would give you time to deliberately dedicate time to crafting a full story instead of a sad collection of vague artistic panels where the reader has to piece together a narrative)”
“Fil-Am Kulam”
“Fil-Am Kulam (fuck, that’d make a badass comic title)”
“Fil-Am Kulam (wag mo akong isumpa bhest, i just like tacky word play)”
