imagine a ghost getting brought back to life but they've been a ghost for so long that they have trouble adjusting. like, they keep running into walls and doors because they used to be able to just pass through them or they trip down the stairs because they used to float down them and sometimes they trip over their own feet because they forget how to walk all together

philippine myth creatures gothic

they talk of creatures lurking in the night, always reminding you of their ways whenever you do something bad. using your fear as a way for you to obey them.

they talk of the tiyanak, and how they attract travelers by imitating a baby cry and then attack the victim. you walk home late one night from school, you hear the baby crying, not so distant. you stop for a second, the hairs on your arms rising, a shiver running down your spine. you resume walking. you don’t turn back.

you remember the tikbalang one time you got lost with your friends. you drive and drive but you keep returning to that tree with the branches that look like arms and it feels eerie. you had your stereo on full volume and you turn it down. you tell your friends to keep quiet and to turn their shirts inside out. you keep driving and this time you get out. but it’s been five hours when it felt like five minutes.

you think of the manananggal when your mom gets pregnant. you think of it flying to your house and using its long proboscis-like tongue to suck out the heart and blood of your would-be sibling. you think of its severed torso, the upper doing the job while the lower just stands there. you sit up every night waiting for it. you don’t get much sleep, too scared to sleep in case it comes.

you wait for your friend one time. you hear, ek ek ek. it seemed very far so you don’t pay much attention to it. you tell your friend this and they say it was probably an ekek, similar to the manananggal. your friend also says that they fool people into thinking they were far when they were actually very close.

your mom tells you that your maid’s mother is an aswang, a vampire-like witch ghoul. your maid is probably one too. you remember what happened to your neighbor, how he didn’t seem like himself and then he became sick and died. you hear people saying it was your maid and that it was the way of the aswangs to replace their victims with doppelgangers only to become sick and die. you’ve been very nice to you maid ever since. you don’t know who’s real, you don’t know who’s a doppelganger.

these are some of the creatures you’ve been afraid of your whole life. they tell you to let go of it. they tell you it’s not real. but you can’t, you can’t, you can’t.

Princess Urduja

Urduja (ca. 1350–1400 AD) is a legendary warrior princess who ruled the kingdom of Tawilisi, speculated to be Pangasinan, Philippines in the present day. Urduja was the leader of the Kinalakihan, the women warriors of her kingdom, and personally engaged in battles with other warriors. She was quoted as saying that she will not marry a man who cannot defeat her in wit and battle and thus was never wed.

In Filipino mythology, Mayari is the goddess of the moon, Tala is the goddess of the stars, and Hanan is the goddess of the morning.

After the death of their father the Creator Bathala, the Moon Goddess Mayari fought with her brother, Sun God Apolaki, for the right to rule the world. After a long battle, Apolaki struck her in one eye, blinding her, and was so horrified at what he’d done that he apologized. The two siblings then came to an agreement where they could both rule.

Where both their eyes once shined brightly upon all of life, Mayari’s light became dimmer after she was blinded, creating the difference between day and night as they took turns ruling over the earth.
