Hi so if anyone cares just want y'all to know that Tumblr is banned here under the Philippines under the claim of it being a gambling site

I'm relying on a vpn to bypass this but hey

✨ MORE FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES✨

Hi maybe it's fucking time to also keep your eyes on the Philippines

I'm hoping the people arrested were now released but idk, I'm hoping that the rumours and posts I read that the cops were given permission to shoot down protesters weren't real but idk

I love my country. I love my culture. i love my country's history

It's my government I want stripped away and rebuilt.

Please keep an eye on our country too. It's not just the Philippine government fucking us over but China too. They're literally trying to ram their bigger ships against the Philippine coast guard vessels but no one fucking talks about it

It just feels like we're buried. We only matter when people want to talk about our funny media shit and want to exploit our country and people, when they want to pinoybait.

Im just fucking angry and shaking and idk where we go from here

I might delete this later but right now I'm just not okay

For the people who cares to know, anti corruption protests were held today in the Philippines both at Luneta Park and at the People Power Monument in light of the Filipinos discovering that our taxes that had been bleeding us dry had been going to the pockets of our politicians and their offensively extravagant and Marie Antoinette esque families and not to the betterment of our country's healthcare, infrastructure or flood control projects.

Unfortunately there are now reports of police firing on the protesters at PPM and one video has surfaced of the cops dragging a dead body and throwing it to the ground.

How is it halfway through Buwan ng Wika and I haven't done my Filipino historical movie binge

[marhikit]

It's Ninoy Aquino Day today so let's just remember that to him:

The Filipino is worth dying for

And no matter the president in Malacanang, I'll always see him as a hero for returning to this country knowing full well he'll die the moment he steps foot on Philippine soil

[marhikit]

Hey so I think China demanding the Philippines pay for the damage their boats incurred for ramming into each other while our much smaller Philippine vessel was just trying to escape from being attacked and water bombed again is fucked actually

[marhikit]

Something something knowing our pre colonial important documents back then were engraved in metal (The Laguna Copperplate Inscription) males me feral cause wdym that's our contracts or smth ajdjrjsjd

(i got glasses so time to pick up my books again lmao)

[marhikit]

So one of my country's senators wants to pass a proposed bill that will legally mandate children to support their elderly parents

I am going to crash out

I refuse to support the man who ruined me, my sisters, my mother and grandparents.

Mahal ko ang Pilipinas ngunit nagkakataong isinusuklam ko ang aking kababayan

hi, filipino here. just want to say that our independence day is june 12, not july 4. july 4 is when the united states government decided that they would recognize our freedom, specifically because it is your independence day and they wanted to cement their cultural hegemony over our country. and because of their influence on our country this was recognized for a time as our independence day. we still commemorate it, but i hope you can understand why we don’t want our independence day to be associated so closely with our former colonizer. it wasn’t even a work holiday for us.

june 12 is the day that we filipinos declared our own independence for ourselves, and that is what we celebrate as independence day

Not Israelis fucking calling Filipinos in Siargao their slaves

[marhikit]

Friendly reminder that the West Philippine Sea does not belong to China and their unjust attacks of my people's seamen and fishermen should actually be called out and honestly I wish there was more international outrage over this.

Anoriel Fereniel of the Greenwood

So this is part of my little project where I make my own designs of Middle Earth and its characters including OCs and canon characters. My plan is to do one character per region for the time being until I figure out each style and each understanding I have for the characters I'm doing.

So here we have Anoriel's final design and I decided to lean into precolonial Tagalog fashion with some additions to cultural parts of their clothes.

The sashes are this wide long fabrics that the elves of the Greenwood would be able to use as a blanket, head covering, cloak or even bandages in times of emergency. This was suggested by Oropher's second son, Beriohtarion when the rot and darkness started infesting their lands.

Noblewomen have a clawed nail extension ring as an indicator that they are among the nobility. It's made of gold and inside the ring is a stamp of their House's emblem.

Also just cause I've always been unnerved by them growing up, the Greenwood is primarily filled with balete and narra trees. The balete trees are always tied to the superstitious belief that scary things live in them so I feel it makes sense the forest kingdom people are scared of would have balete trees.

Venting under cut

We try very hard to help and trust me some of y'all just start being awful right off the bat

I already dealt with a racist old woman say I'm stealing jobs from Americans and a guy who refused to believe his payment was in his other closed accounts just cause he can't see it when i could see it in my system

Have you ever met someone on the internet that you liked so much that you sometimes sit there and think “Oh man there are people who are lucky enough to see this person IN THE FLESH ON A REGULAR BASIS and I wonder if they realize how LUCKY they are”

i think about huaisang's rage a lot. it's not loud or boisterous like his brother's, not escalating or expeditious like jin guangyao's. it's like a breeze, silent, almost untraceable, but there. it's a rage that waited over a decade to age into fine wine, a rage to not only hurt but destroy.
