Once upon a time, there was a kingdom of love blossoming under the waters of a river.

People who lived above cried out: ”We are hungry! We are cold!”

The muse of the kingdom felt pity for these poor wretches. In her mercy, she turned them all into crocodiles, making them part of her kingdom. They lived underwater, and never knew suffering again.

Now, every time you see a crocodile weep, know that it is crying tears of joy.

—"Ang Alamat ng Buwaya" by Huseng Paksiw

+

WHEN THE CROCODILES WEEP is a ttrpg inspired by the various myths surrounding the Pasig River. It tells the story of the Obispo family and their dealings with the Riverine Saint, Doña Jeronima. Parallel to this, the higher-existence saints debate with that same Jeronima in a metaphysical world known as the Retablo.

Follow the stories of:

Cesar, a political heir struggling to fill his father's shoes. His patron is Bernardo Carpio, Saint of Toil.

Malaya, an activist journalism student uncovering her family's dark secrets. Her patron is Flerida, Saint of Truth.

Kulas, a slacker musician challenged by Doña Jeronima to solve her riddles in the Retablo. His patron is Pilandok, Saint of Trickery.

Fely, a young but macabre bookworm regaining her memories as her patron Asuang, Saint of Damnation.

Hope you can check it out!

Proto-lesbiyana si Flerida. Other lesbian scholars see it, and I see it din! Leonatiko siya sa aking paningin. Period.

Hey man, I found you through the fantastic artwork of florante and Aladin, and I just want you to know

Your art, specifically, the artwork where Aladin was carrying Florante, the two staring lovingly at each other

That artwork, our teacher (she doesn't really know about technology, so spare her) used that artwork for her class presentation (online class) since we're learning about the story right now, so congratulations, a teacher saw your artwork, thought it was a good artwork to showcase Aladin saving Florante, and shared it to a whole entire class

All of us thought it was fruity, amazing, and we cried in joy. A classmate's father walked behind them, seeing their screen and he asked them "Why are you looking at gay men?"

So, thank you, for making this fanart, and be proud that a teacher saw this and used it as learning material <3

Oh my fucking god

This absolutely made my day thank you.

This is the second time this has happened to me btw, the first time involved me drawing fruity Fanart of Elibarra and a teacher using it for a class presentation while I was still in school. My legacy lives on 🙈

Not me and my friend bashing Florante from "Florante at Laura", agreeing that Flerida is a girl boss, and planning a hypothetical situation where we beat the shit out of Konde Adolfo with another friend, bashing his head with a shovel killing him, then finally burying the body with the same shovel used to kill Adolfo.

Francisco Baltazar y dela cruz also known as Francisco Baltazar, was a well-known Filipino poet. Because of his influence on Filipino literature, he is regarded as one of the greatest Filipino literary laureates. His well-known epic Florante at Laura is regarded as his most important piece.

One of his work that I enjoyed is the Florante and Laura story, Florante and Laura is one of the most beautiful stories, I always read this story, it's entertaining especially and I can relate to it.

The plot centers on Florante and Princess Laura of Albania as they battle each other and fall in love amid the conflict between the Moros and the Christian Albanians.

[wolfythewitch]

from one Filipino to another, have you ever had interest in classic Filipino literature/mythology before?

like with Florante at Laura, Rizal's novels, maybe even pre-colonial like Biag ni Lam-ang or the Hudhud epic?

(I have)

Oh I'm actually thinking of buying this book haha

𝐀𝐳𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐰! in the Philippines <33

𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲: What it would be like if Azi and Crowley were to be in the Philippines. (just some cute little imagines)

𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬: No Warnings! Chaz is currently working on chapter 8! so for now, i wanted to do something other than the fic, considering that I'm Filipino, Chaz convinced me to do some cute little imagines if azi and crowley we're in the Philippines, Happy Readings!

- The two of them would stroll around divisoria, well, aziraphale liked it due to the many stalls open in every corner, crowley doesn't like it on the other hand, since it's mostly crowded and all, but he does end up buying a duck hair clip.

- I feel like the two would go to one of the national locations/shrines and would go like.. "do you remember when we met him?" "hm.. i suppose? was he the guy..." "yeah. yeah. definitely."

- Would stroll around rizal park for fun, just a cute little date around the park like normal. <33

- Aziraphale would always be glad to go to churches every sunday. just like any other Filipino, maybe light a candle every sermon, then Crowley would take him to a mall after. (SM I LOVE YOU)

- During the early part of the Spanish Philippines period, Crowley would have protested with himself one too many times to do a "Harana" to aziraphale yet end up chickening out.

- Aziraphale would have a personal composed poem by José de la Cruz "Husend Sisiw", Also a copy of Noli Me Tangere or El Filibusterismo in his bookshop, and other literary works, such as Florante at Laura or Ibong Adarna.

- Crowley would probably enjoy a night drive in BGC, maybe even persuade aziraphale to come with him. and the both of them would enjoy eating street foods (siomai, fishball, kikiam, etc.)

- During the time when the urban legend, the manananggal were popular, People may have mistaken crowley as the mananangal once, and he would feed into the rumors too. and aziraphale would joke to him about it.

- They would celebrate like Filipinos, decorating the bookshop at the start of september. then would have a cute little vacation in Baguio at Christmas. Crowley would drive aziraphale every "Simbang Gabi" yet due to Crowley being a demon, he would wait outside church in the Bentley, waiting for aziraphale to finish.

October 17

I just got a job offer.

I am so stuck of whether to take it.

I mean yes, it has a monetary increase but I'll be lying if it's not the Florante and Laura situation that is causing me to resign.

I know that the smartest decision is to not leave my career for that stupid reason, but knowing myself and given the circumstances, I will not heal with them around.

I hate her. With all my heart, I hate her. I don't want her around me. Siyang pinagagong taong kilala ko aside sa tatay ko siguro. Ang gago niya. Di naman niya deserved ng respect ko, honestly. So kunin niya yun sa lalake putang ina niya.

+ I have already ruin my reputation before it existed because of the emotional outburst safe space whatever incident.

I know this is something I'd just laugh abt. Pero puta. TANG INAAAAAAAAA

But I don't want to leave. This is my career at stake. I haven't even started yet. I don't think I can ever forgive myself for my stupid decisions and the stupid people I trusted like Laura.

I want to burst out because this is too heavy and I don't have anyone to confide to. This is so fucked up.

[gierosajie]
