Dati, I was ashamed of being fluent in English habang mangmang sa Tagalog.
Then, I started learning Philippine languages when I was in college. Now, I WRITE fiction, poetry, komiks, and fan works sa Tagalog! Hindi talaga huli matuto. Basta huwag magpaanod sa nakaraan. 🥰
This reminds me of how when Indian women were supposed to vote for the first time, most of them did not know their own names, even today my grandmother's name is hardly ever mentioned, she's just Amma, she told me her name once when I was 6.
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
I have said this before:
Movie makers raised on modern movies are shit.
Same for all media
Pokemon started because the creator liked collecting bugs and exploring as a kid, not just playing other video games.
Inbred Media.
You can't make music out of all samples forever.
my fav BL rn is about two guys who constantly get under each other's skin and have a crush on the same girl, but turns out she's a lesbian & those two idiots become each other's bi awakening, first kiss, first love, first everything. I reread it daily like I'm beyond help atp 😭
I've written a short story about a trans man and it's made me respect this comic even more because I'm so scared to have trans men read it because I really want to do right by them and their experiences.
This takes courage and I appreciate it so much. ❤️
OMFG imagine a movie about an OFW balikbayan returning home and finding the place foreign and weird and surreal!! Narrow alleyways with weird shit hiding in every corner and you hear whispers from the windows or open doors leading to just darkness with something beckoning you in
