I know that I don't really have a big following here on tumblr but I refuse to be silent about this anywhere.
To anyone who's wondering, "What's happening in the Philippines?" here it is:
We in the Philippines held our elections yesterday, and they are being rigged.
We are at risk of the son of a dictator taking the presidency seat, which endangers our economy, livelihoods, education, safety, and privacy. Every dirty trick in the book happened this election/campaign season - from fake news to broken voting machines and so much more.
The reason why he's in the lead is the result of years upon years of mis- and disinformation and deceit. We cannot afford the Marcoses to take presidency again, not after all the taxpayer money they squandered and the people they had imprisoned, tortured, and killed.
To my fellow Filipinos, continue to fight the good fight. We can't give up now. Di pa tapos ang laban. Kapit lang tayo.
Hey guys, I know I don’t post much in this blog anymore and I am not exactly sure who will see this but I’m posting this because today is the Philippine Presidential Elections and, just like what other people here are already saying, we’re fighting for our lives right now.
We are fighting against the return of dictatorship in the country. We are fighting against the continuation of corruption and injustice. We are fighting for a better future. We are fighting, so that we may finally know peace.
Today, multiple issues regarding the elections have come up. Vote-Counting Machines (VCMs) “malfunctioning”, SD cards missing, people getting PAID for voting for the dictator’s son and his party, and more. Even the commission in charge of ENSURING FAIR ELECTIONS is failing to fully understand the grasp said issues, wasting people’s time and votes.
If you do find this post and read it, all I ask is that you share the news about the Philippines. Anything about today (May 9, 2022),
about Halalan 2022/PH Elections 2022,
about BBM and the Marcos Family,
about Leni Robredo, Kiko Pangilinan, Chel Diokno and the rest of Robredo’s senatorial slate (+ Neri Colmenares),
and if this is inspires you to learn everything else, then please do.
We are asking for your help, not in votes, but in sharing what is happening here to the rest of the world. Whatever happens, whatever the results are, we want the whole world to see what is going on. (But thank you to the foreign news outlets who have been speaking on this).
All the Filipinos are asking for is a fair government, where lives are recognized and uplifted. We cannot be kept in the dark again, we have had enough.
And if we need to meet in EDSA once again, then so be it.
to all my non-filipino moots out there who probably have no idea what i’ve been sharing with my filipino anons right now,
OUR COUNTRY IS FUCKED.
imagine choosing a dictator’s son—whose family robbed many people’s lives, our nation’s funds, and even our people’s freedom of speech and expression—whose only platform is “unity”, faked his degree in oxford, has been jobless for six years, and is charged for multiple cases of tax evasion over a woman who has received a post graduate degree, is an attorney, is a strong mother to three daughters who are all successful, who has been the main proponent for the country’s solutions to covid-19, who is not afraid to take on any circumstances despite any hatred and judgement she has faced from misogynists, fake news peddlers, and misinformed people.
imagine choosing a mediocre actor and comedian who has no background in political science and law or whatsoever over an attorney whose platforms are evidence-based and are relevant to the country’s current struggles, just because of his looks.
i personally am worried for my future, and for the future of my fellow countrymen if this is the kind of mindset that majority of people will stick to. i am in pain. i am filled with anxiety about how the next six years will turn out to be for me if corruption and unjust governance will lead the country. though these might be the unofficial results of yesterday’s election, it shows everyone that people can be stupid and fucked in the head, letting themselves make the same mistakes they did decades ago.
stocks are plummeting with the spread of this sad news and the foreign investors are probably laughing at us right now. i know why. this leading candidate is banned in many countries for his crimes yet people are still voting for him.
the worst part is people believe that keeping a good character is enough to lead a country. sure, it is integral, but judging how people want to vote for an undergraduate and his evil upbringing, many people are starting to question if their hard work for getting a degree is still worthwhile, and this includes me.
i am speaking in behalf of many filipinos who are not satisfied with the results of the election. it’s very saddening for me to see selfish adults celebrating the “win” of a thief while their children are filled with horror and anguish.
fuck the marcoses. fuck the idiocy of the people of this country. i stand proudly to fight for what’s right and i keep my moral integrity in me. 💖🌸🌷
HUWAG NINYONG IDAMAY ANG BUONG BANSA SA KATANGAHAN NINYO.
My head is buzzing with Kazuha on his knees proposing to you in front of the Crux and his auntie Beidou before leaving for a voyage like?? Ohmygod just the trope of when all of this is over let’s get married sends my head into overdrive I’m going nuts
Reblogs are greatly appreciated!! ♥︎
⠀The way this has rotted in my inbox for the longest time 🥲 akjnsdaskas Unedited <3
⠀Navigation & Carrd
⠀You’re not supposed to be on the Alcor, technically. Not when all they’re waiting for is the traveller to board before they set off— luckily, it seems Captain Beidou has a soft spot for lovesick fools and their significant other.
⠀You can tell that there’s something on his mind, though. Kazuha’s been quieter than usual the entire day, naver straying far from you, his brow furrowed like he was thinking long and hard about something. You chalked it up to him being nervous about going back to his homeland, especially when the vision hunt decree was in full swing.
⠀It’s about mid-morning when Beidou sends someone to get the traveller from Liyue, and you take the time to pull Kazuha out from the sun and into the shade. “Are you alright?” you ask him, one hand cupping his cheek while you examine him. “You’ve been quiet. Quieter than usual, I mean. You haven’t even waxed poetic about how pretty the weather is.”
⠀That brings a low chuckle from him, and the sound sends a tingle up your spine. One of Kazuha’s hands cups your own while he nuzzles into your touch.
⠀“I did not mean to worry you,” he says, voice ever so soft. “There’s just... been a lot on my mind, as of late.”
⠀You gaze softens. “Would you like to tell me?”
⠀Kazuha closes his eyes and falls silent, and you can see how he worries the inside of his cheek. The question hangs for a little bit more. You’re about to retract it when he says, “It’s uncharacteristic of me to entertain such sudden ideas, but I’m afraid that if I don’t speak my thoughts, then I’ll come to regret it in the future.”
⠀You don’t say anything, not even when he takes your other hand and presses it to the center of his chest, where you can feel the steady thrum of his heart. It’s racing, you notice.
⠀A small, shy smile grows on Kazuha’s face. “I haven’t even prepared a ring,” he admits in a small breath, and it’s enough to make your breath hitch and your eyes widen. Did he––
⠀Slowly, reverently, he drops to his knee before you. He cradles the hand that was against his heart in his gentle grip, and you’ve used the other to stifle your surprised gasp. Behind you, you vaguely hear the conversation in the background stop–– even Beidou’s voice has quieted.
⠀But all of that drowns out when you see how Kazuha looks up at you, so soft and gentle, like there was nothing else he would rest his gaze on. When he speaks, his voice is quiet but lacks any sort of hesitation.
⠀“You deserve someone unlike me,” he says, “Someone who does not leave you for time on end like the ebb and flow of the waves, whose presence in your life does not endanger you.” Before you can even hope to correct him, though, he plows on. “And yet the love in your eyes has never once faltered, despite all this. I could never attempt to describe the pull you have on me–– whenever I am away, all I can think of is seeing you again.”
⠀You’re quiet, too, merely watching him with the back of your hand still pressed to your mouth and your eyes wide. However, Kazuha’s all too aware of how your heart is practically doing somersaults in your chest.
⠀“My heart feels full when I am around you, and your presence brings me a peace and happiness that I had gone long without.” Kazuha chuckles then, though it’s low and he suddenly can’t meet your eyes. “It’s selfish of me to ask that you wait for me. I–– I haven’t even had the chance to buy you a ring, or to think too far ahead, but I would be a fool to go off on such a journey without at least making the depths of my affection known.”
⠀He swallows, and the grip on your hand tightens. Kazuha’s voice is full, every word he speaks dripping with hope and affection. “You need not answer me now, but when I return... will you allow me the honor of marrying you?”
"hush, close your eyes now," small ficlet, minamoto teru, fem! reader, forehead kisses as the prompt, not-so-requested by lex.
i'm write-deprived. . . anyway, so close to adding genshin and some other fandoms, perhaps this blog will be a multifandom blog soon</3
➣ minamoto teru.
sweat was falling down from your temple, eyes wide, you were in shock. your mouth began to mumble words, trying to reassure yourself it was just a nightmare. you glanced towards your lover, teru. you knew he was so deep in slumber, you couldn't dare to wake him up. why would you, anyway? you knew he is sleep-deprived and tired, even though you knew he said to not be scared to wake him up if anything happens.
yet, there you are. in his embrace. praise god for waking him up. he gently rubs your back in an attempt to calm you down. though, his presence is already comforting, isn't it? he whispered sweet-nothings to you, and bless god, you feel like you're in somewhere, far away from the horrible nightmare. "I'm here, y/n. it's okay now," he said. "are you good now? can you go back to sleep now? or is there something you want?" he asked. "no, I'm.. fine now, thank you," you mumbled. he smiled, pulling away from you, before giving your forehead a kiss.
he laid down, pulling you to him. his figure is hugging you, stroking your hair slowly. you smiled, as both of you go back to the wonderland.
Istg, I thought I'm gonna do a bad job in writing this, but why do I feel proud..
— summary; in which kazuha is your bodyguard who helps you escape from a vision hunt.
— notes; i’ve joined the kazuha hype train and i’m not okay. i can’t believe i made up a personality for him.
A brisk wind whips through the air as soon as the two of you step out of the tunnel, and the air is thick and heavy with the pressure of an oncoming storm. You stumble along behind Kazuha, your footsteps uncertain as you try to navigate the unfamiliar terrain, placing your feet carefully so that you won’t fall. Your guard is familiar with the path, only occasionally shining the lantern, finding the light of the moon enough. Your heart beats fast in your chest and your thoughts are a confused, jumbled mess. Every few minutes you glance over your shoulder, fearing that at any moment you’ll see Vision Hunters, or Baal herself following after you.
