You all ever think of what would've happened if Isagani wasn't SO hopelessly in love with Paulita?? Would he still be alive? Would he still be staring at her from afar on that street? Would he still rush in to get the lamp? So many questions, no answers cause it never happened

thinking about it, what if Simoun's plan did succeed? So what, now the wedding is bombed. The friars are dead, the government in shambles, and the richest reduced to nothing. What then?
Basilio seemed horrified of even letting them die in the first place, would have he even rallied the people to Tales' location or would he have just fled away?
And even if Basilio had succeeded, what was Ibarra's plans for the new country? All he talked about was getting revenge on those who wronged him, never about anyway to change it. He talked about watering the land with their blood but never bothered to mention what seeds he would plan.

My Filipino teacher congratulated me on doing a little character study of Basilio from Chapter 34 and previous chapters, She was happy that I not only added Basilio’s conflicts but also something I called the “Basilio-Crisostomo-Simoun Parallel Pipeline” :3
Anyway I loved how Rizal wrote the mechanism of the bomb and the planned explosion during the wedding that I asked if Rizal was even allowed to buy lamps after the publication of El Fili BECAUSE GE WAS INSANE 🤯🤯🤯

If you think about it, Simoun Ibarra is like a reverse Jean Valjean

Being in both Rizaliana and Adventure time fandoms are confusing because you don't know if the fanart in your dash is Simoun or Simon...
... wait

Hot take: Paulita x Isagani is underrated and compelling as hell
I love tragedies. I love ships that are not canon because of narrative reasons. Paulita and Isagani is one of those ships I love but are not meant to be. Rizal placed the two lovers as opposites as seen in Chapter 24 of El Fili called "Dreams". If Isagani is patriotic and optimistic, Paulita is pessimistic and selfish. Paulita is manipulative and cunning while Isagani is straightforward and upright. Isagani promised a Philippines just like the more progressive European cities while Paulita highly thinks of it as poppycock. The chapter demonstrates the bad sides of their relationship. Isagani ignored the warning signs of the love fading for Paulita plans to marry the more eligible Juanito Pelaez.
Paulita is an orphan raised in a life of materialism and luxury by Donya Victorina. Isagani is also an orphan raised by the progressive Indio priest, Padre Florentino. Their upbringing informs their character and values. They are almost polar opposites yet they're together. I speculate what attracted Paulita to Isagani were the poems he wrote for her. Isagani showered her with the attention she was spoiled with as a child. I'm not exactly sure what attracted Isagani to Paulita in the first place but I think it was because she is the beauty of the town. For Isagani's side it could most likely be an infatuation at first sight. From that point on, he was devoted to her as he turned a blind eye to her flaws.
They were each other's first love. It was a beautiful cracked first love while it lasted. But if love is a choice, Paulita chose not to love him while Isagani chose to love her anyway.
When Isagani was arrested without due process, Paulita was quick to leave him and marry Juanito instead. She left him because she saw him as nothing more than an accessory to flatter herself. He was disposable.
The couple elevated to my OTP for El Fili during the lamp scene. Paulita just married Juanito, leaving Isagani in the dust. Simoun is planning to bomb the wedding with the nitroglycerin lamp he gifted to the newly wed couple. The lamp will bomb in a few moments because of said nitroglycerin just as Simoun intended. Isagani, upon learning of the lamp, storms into the wedding and steals the lamp. He loves Paulita that much, he is willing to save her even if she betrayed him. The guests were shocked when the lamp bombed in the river instead, saving Paulita and all thanks to our loverboy, Isagani.
I remember being captivated by the scene. I thought that Paulita was blind to Isagani. Then I later realized Isagani was blind to Paulita's bad side. Isagani's blind devotion to Paulita represents his devotion to his country which influenced his passion and optimism just like Simoun's devotion to Maria Clara which influenced his rage and passion once he learned she died.
A good tragedy makes you wish for something hopeful. I hoped Paulita opened her eyes to Isagani. I hoped Isagani called her out on her bitchiness. I wished the couple worked out but I understand why they didn't work. And I'm satisfied with the reality.

You're reading El Filibusterismo right and you get to chapter 12 and then shrug something off, maybe it's a mistranslation.
BUT IT KEEPS APPEARING.
so I'll break out the question...
WHAT THE HELL IS JUANITO PELAEZ'S "HUMP"??
Tumblr media
I've been in emotional pain whenever his damn "hump" was mentioned so I decided to check a Tagalog version,
Tumblr media
Well. That's not any better, synonyms were also "Hunchbacked" and another word for Hunchback in Tagalog is "bukot" which translated to "hump on back" (as well as Hunchback)
So I check it in SPANISH (despite not knowing a single word of Spanish)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It didn't get any better....
So to anyone who knows, hmu😭
I don't wanna go on reading and not know what juanito's HUMP???
