‘FORGOTTEN ISLAND’ director Joel Crawford says the film honors women in their lives and Filipino folklore.
“So many times, young girls in movies and TV are portrayed as always talking about boys, or they’re princesses... I want my daughters to see themselves up on the screen, whether it’s in terms of culture, in terms of ethnicity, but also how they are as people.”

also, the golden wattle flag is sooo beautiful! it reps our national colours, and has the symbol of the national flower it makes it SO clear what the colors represent! the star of the southern cross is still depicted too it’s just the most perfect flag redesign ever 🥹
australia should legitimately change our flag to represent the nations colours and the golden wattle. aus reps green & gold in intl sports but it doesnt show in our flag at all. :(
@2nothda@ctostoic not all visual novels have branching paths though. yes a lot of them do, but sthng like ace attorney or ddlc is still going to be the exact same dialogue whether you press a button or somebody else is pressing a button lol. and im saying this as someone who played these myself😭
I remember I saw somebody claim the Persona 5 peaks with the first palace which is genuinely really funny. like half of that first palace is tutorials on how the game works!
@2nothda@ctostoic listen i played it too shortly after its release, but ddlc is at its core a visual novel lol im not gonna say someone doesnt get it just because they wanna listen to some guy do character voice acting for a game where the gameplay is 99% reading lol
the best part of filipino headcanons for your favorite characters and ships is that you can go through your opm playlists and imagine them crying and yearning blasting cup of joe and up dharma down songs at full volume
@DWhite_Defender@ctostoic I played Dispatch and screenshared it to my friends on discord and they still enjoyed it, literally 99% of the game is cutscenes 🤷♂️
i always see this discourse online and then ppl comparing to filipinx or saying its only an online thing. brother, nobody’s forcing anyone to call themselves filo but over here in NZ/aus that’s just how we talk here 😭 ITS A VERY NORMAL THING TO SAY HERE….
how many times do I have to say that ‘filo’ is a term/slang that aussies and kiwis use to refer to filipinos!!!!!!! slang here is very short so the filipino diaspora in aus/nz tend to call ourselves this too bc we obviously adapted to how locals speak PLEASE 😭
@rubibiiii It’s Aussie/Kiwi slang. I’m Filipino-Australian and that’s literally how Aussies refer to us since that’s how Aus slang works, and also how we refer to ourselves here too 🤷🏻 kind of a nothingburger to hate. over here that’s just how people speak.
