TOTOOO LOVES it here like literal sobrang starved for functional API ako sa kabilang app yung tipong that the feed doesn’t break upon multiple button-presses interactions sobrang happy ako. just wish it wasn’t westslop yung lumalabas

meanwhile i’m more active here again because the other app is actively breaking in ways that are unuseable LOL. pero masyadong Kano pa din yung lumalabas dito

Oh I was thinking about this too, this is a very good point. Monsters being in places that are unreachable/hostile, giving you monstrous traits yourself (inherent othering effect of tourist-dominant spaces)

but to your point, actually it would probably be in bulacan/cavite. a small walk alone at night will tell you that the only other horrors (are men + cars)

to be honest, terms of cultural mainstay of local mythos, indos + malay stories beat us by like a MILE. like our manananggal (which could be read as a variant of the penangalan) is the ONLY variant which retains its torso. for indo and malay myths it’s just a head + GUTS!!

you should give the manila urban gothic aesthetic a little look for pattern-inspired tattoos next, too

shame is a part of it but the larger catholic experience of having an intense nerdout is the stoicism that comes with embracing/loving absurd elements without any oversight/lookback like at all. like the blatant nerdry isn’t confusing in any regard whatsoever

WOW and there’s the contextual difference to the two words too! Tagak being the chirp and having an appropriate other meaning is so precious actually

WAITTT tagak I love that omg. Parang hampas lang HAHA. Saving that to memory. Uwak and tagak are kinda similar too
