Thank you so much for offering. I'm in discussion with someone right now so I think I might be ok, but if that falls through, I'll be sure to reach out! ;w;

HI! I KNOW I HAVEN'T SHOWN MY FACE IN AGES BUT--!

I realised my EB packages expire NEXT WEEK, so I'm 100% seriously looking for characters to marry one of my blorbos;

Willing to relocate most characters too.

Let's Get Eternally Bonded!

I have two Platinum Eternal Bonding packages that expire soon, and many potential characters to use them on.

Over-simplify people's identities and gender. Bakla just is the more modern word that has inherited aspects of the pre-colonial identity that went by other names.

But yes, it is 100% correct to say historical Filipino gender identities were much more fluid than the binary that was forced on us.

Totally! Which was what I was hoping to co-sign when I said I fully support the sentiment.

I just wanted to bring this up because it is a very real contention in various spaces (from academic to grassroots communities) to have bakla be conflated with trans and how that can flatten and sometimes>

> Gender the Philippines was not as binary as we understand today from Western influences, and while bakla originally could be seen as a third gender, if going by modern conceptions, it would be inaccurate to say bakla is always 'Trans'. Many bakla fully identify as fem cis men.

I'm totally down with the sentiment here, and I didn't wanna be a downer, but while that is a theory that sounds like it makes sense, there are other more substantive etymologies of the word.

It also isn't explicitly trans. Effeminate cis men absolutely fall under bakla.

Historically & culturally>

A history of conflict and war, not that it's a good excuse lol

tbh, i've been a little burned out/tired with irl nonsense recently, so it's really nice to be able to reliably have the weekly MnL themed map runs

This week's theme was 'Cartoon Network'. Can you guess who Ashaaryx is? (Though the hair is not the right colour cuz I never change it xD)
