Linyahan ng mga Cheater feat. KlayBarra

see this for reference.

"Alam kong magseselos ka, kaya hindi ko na sinabi sayo." (ep2)

"Ikaw lang ang mahal ko, siya trip-trip lang" (ep 4)

"Masyado kang nag-ooverthink." (ep12)

"Sayo pa rin ako umuuwi, di ba?" (ep 12)

Palusot pa si Ibarra eh pinili niya dalhin si klay sa bukid sa isang unchaperoned na pamamasyal na inabot from early morning to evening + naglaro pa sila ng sipa. insert song: why tf you lying.

"Mukha ba akong magkakagusto sa ganoong hitsura?" / "Bakit ako magkakagusto sa isang tulad niya na hindi mo ka-level"? (ep 15)

"Dinelete ko kasi alam kong magagalit/magseselos ka." (ep15)

"Walang namamagitan sa aming dalawa."

(ep 12)

(ep 15)

(ep 15 end)

"Magkaibigan lang kami."

(ep 12 - "pinsan")

(ep 15 - "kaibigan")

(ep 20 - "tapat at maaasahang kaibigan")

(ep 28 - "kaibigan")

(ep 30 "matalik na kaibigan at nakababatang kapatid")

~susmiyo. folgers siblings yata ang ibig sabihin ng gago.~

"Wala kaming ginagawang masama." (ep 15)

"May boyfriend/girlfriend na yun, 'wag ka ngang trying hard." (ep 15)

had to include the post-harana stairs scene because I just realized na parang may double meaning ang "tila ikaw ay nagtatago" na tinanong ni Fidel lol. And Kla's reply jives with the stereotypical linyahan ng cheater kasi Klay is trying to convince him that Maria Clara's jealousy of Klay was not justified coz Ibarra was already her fiance.

"Ayaw ko ng gulo, kalimutan na natin 'to." (ep 15)

"Hindi ko naman sinasadya, nadala lang ako." (ep 15)

~weeh bro. di lang paglilihim ang ginawa mo. nagkikirian din kayo.

"Nagkulang ka kasi." (ep 15)

Ibarra: wala kayong naitulong ni Fidel, mi amor, dahil ako lang talaga at wala nang iba ang inaasahan ni Klay 🥺

"Lahat na lang ini-issue mo, lahat na lang big deal sayo."

(ep 16)

"Umiiral na naman ang insecurities mo." / "Ikaw lang wala nang iba."

(ep 14 -ibarra to klay)

you might say i'm taking this "out of context" because this was ibarra's way of deescalation after makita niyang muntik tumalon si klay sa tower.

but that doesn't change the fact that he said these exact words na always ginagamit romantically both by ibarra and fidel later. Moreover Ibarra already praised klay like this noong nasa Maynila pa sila. Napakasuperblurred ng boundaries ng klaybarra during this arc. THIS IS NOT PLATONIC, knowing what other kilig tropes and linyahan they've been executing for this episode. Di tayo mga bulag, bingi, bobo at tanga, susmaryosep. Legit emotional cheating ang nangayayri dito.

(ep 15 -ibarra to maria clara)

(ep 18 -ibarra to maria clara)

(ep 20 - ibarra to maria clara)

(ep 24 - klay to maria clara)

stfu, klay. halos 3-5 days niyong ginawa ni ibarra yang "nag-uusap sa ilalim na maliwanag buwan at nagkikislapang bituin: 1) pagdating niyo ng san diego, 2)hopiang di mabili, sipa game, 3)blood moon, and 4)yung nagtampo ka dahil paaalisin ka na sa bahay ni ibarra 5)yung one time bumalik ka sa bahay ni ibarra para takasan si MC. Bakakon ka liar evil ka ghorl.."

"Pati ba naman privacy, pinakekealaman mo?"

(ep 12)

(ep 17)

Klay: nasa wastong edad na ako upang i convince ulit ang fiance mo na pagtaksilan ka because im a strong educated and independent feminist diba at meanwhile ikaw maria clara ay estupida na sunud-sunaran not like me.

(ep 28)

"Sorry, tao lang, nagkakamali." (ep 28)

.

so ayan. Isang in-depth compilation of klay and ibarra's emotional cheater linings.

puro sinungaling eh.

NaruSaku is to Klaybarra as Zutara is to MaMie, prove me wrong. First set of pairs is between the male and female protagonists, implied in the story to be the planned endgame as evident with their developments and moments together (albeit some moments were subtle), and having main character B be the first love of main character A. Even so, despite all that, they got shoved aside because most of the viewers deemed the pairing "controversial" and preferred the main character to be with the supporting character who gained popularity . Second set is between the main female character and the 2nd male character, those who were never intended to be endgame, but their chemistry and potential are all over the place in the story. However, despite also gaining a fanbase, rivaling and being even bigger than the expected ship at some points in time, the writers stuck to the originally planned endgame with the main character.

It's funny that these pairs, intended to be endgame or not, all broke my heart and couldn't let me catch a break lmao. Maybe I just have a tendency to root for the one that will not be canon regardless of their original fate and popularity haha

People: hey ppl watch MCAI, it's good break from all the kabit-kabit and sampalan of current teleseryes!

MCAI: btw here ibarra spends more intimate alone time with the flirty naive isekai'd protagonist and sometimes forgets he has a fiance. It's because they have the same ideals and attitudes. Btw he's hiding this girl from his fiance. Also btw protagonist has a massive crush on him and also she dislikes his fiance. Also don't worry it's not cheating coz ibarra does not reciprocate protagonist's feelings because protagonist never expressed them. Also don't worry he sees this girl as a close friend and as a sister he never had (but he reveals this much much much later to the girl's suitor.) Don't worry protagonist also becomes loyal besties with the fiance later, so it's not cheating!

ALSO MCAI: We repeat, this is not a kabitserye, okay?! Why don't you just let the story unfold and watch the protagonist be so obsessed with keeping ibarra alive and remain good while she overwhelms, confuses and puts herself and many other characters at risk with how much she cares for ibarra? Anyone who says that this is kabitserye are stupid slutshamers and bitter idiots who dont understand feminism and what 'strong independent traumatized oppressed women who actually know what they want' are. Now this bardagulan is over. Mic drop.

The weird fate of all the pairings that became my OTP that isn’t HoneyWorks...

I surely hope at least Tink and Terence would be together lol (but we never saw their ending, so that...)

edit: there’s AdriZoe typo lol. It wrote “Teen Titans, not Miraculous, I’m sorry XD

[nightrae13]

“We have a bond, remember?”

Yo’ hate me now for loving all four of these ships, but here’s a Spotify Playlist I made for all of them: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0r6r8kZKWkEZ3s6oUOSGDE?si=bd9bf4ad09b64e6a

I am well-aware that these are all not canon which honestly breaks my heart, but I am still very happy with the moments and bond and understanding they all have formed throughout their own show (except for AdriZoe, obviously... I admit that it’s only in my hcs, but the potential they had in my mind is the same reason I love what the other ships canonically have).

I know not all RobRae shippers like the others (I guess some are even Maiko lol), Zutarians probably like the Love Square and Filay while Klaybarra shippers just mind their own thing ig? Still, I heavily respect those people who has different opinions and tastes from mine (all canon couples from each show at least make sense, and I like some of them, in fact). 

However, I want to dedicate this post to all of them (probably could have included NS, but I have my own 11 hr playlist for them lol).

I’m so proud of my ships, because I love them, canonically or just in my hcs for the bond, understanding, and just downright healthy relationship they all have formed, endgame or not (I actually never wanted Klaybarra to be endgame in the novel, it could have been better if it’s in the real world, so don’t @ me by saying I want Ibarra to cheat on Maria Clara lol). There’s a difference between loving a ship and wanting them to be canon, thank you very much. There’s nothing wrong in enjoying the dynamic :)) 

I just love how all of them were broken and kindred souls who found comfort and refuge in another, and friends-to-lovers trope is just superior<333

Anyway, my ramblings are enough, I hope you enjoy this day everyone!!

MCAI positioning Ibarra's school far away from his house was designed to make KlayBarra shine. Part 1

reminder that in the book, the school was meant to be located right outside Ibarra's house (ch. 27)

But what happened in MCAI? At the end of ep 8 (or 16), ibarra invites klay to go with him to visit his lands where he was going to build the school.

Ep 9 (or 17)

Klay and Ibarra then go on a mountain date "site tour" while Maria Clara visits Ibarra's house unannounced.

If the build site was outside Ibarra's house (as Rizal intended), then Maria Clara would have seen Ibarra and Klay together.

but no!

Because of the isolated location of the "build site"... KlayBarra was able to do the following far from Maria Clara and Senyora Isabel's 'judgmental' eyes:

Ibarra showing Klay just how vast his lands were and where he was going to build the school, which was on a plain far below the mountain that they were standing on. Therefore he just took her up there to show Klay how big his real estate property was.

2. They spend a whole day there until evening where they got rained on. Cue them a) singing "hopiang di mabili", b) crisostomo reminiscing about good times with his father, c) and both of them playing in the rain.

3. and ofc klay collapses because of a fever and is carried by ibarra all the way back to his house.

Wherein Klay, in her feverish state, calls out for her mom;

which, btw, was strikingly and suspiciously reminsicent of Maria Clara's illness arc from chapter 46.

Compared to OG and MCAI Maria Clara, Klay gets the special privilege of being personally watched over by Ibarra. He even slept by her bedside the whole time coz ofc he did.

does anyone else want to ragequit? because i do.

Meanwhile we get this kind of hopeful delusional dialogue from Maria Clara. 🤦

Klay then wakes up and if you watched MCAI, then you would know how much KlayBarra flirted with each other after this:

klay being all excited at the thought that Ibarra himself changed her clothes (the midwife actually changed her clothes but klay was still kilig at having Thoughts);

klay presenting herself to ibarra and adong without her alampay (cloth that covers her chest);

klay telling ibarra that it's the first time she ever experienced being taken care of by a man;

klay putting ibarra's hand to her cheek to convince him that she has no fever anymore;

ibarra watching over klay as she eats soup. they keep exchanging sweet glances;

klay lovingly pressing Ibarra's clothes;

ibarra convincing klay to play sipa with him. klay and ibarra then attempt to play sipa which results in another trip-fall-catch-embrace (with the iconic spinning-zoomy shot and the show's love theme playing in the background)

As this was happening...Maria Clara was just reading Ibarra's letters over and over again because it was the only thing she had of their LDR (even if they lived in the same town)

.

.

What I'm saying is that this arc was made super extra long and possible because the school build site was far away from Ibarra's house. It allowed Klay and Ibarra their much needed alone and date time.

This specific issue also will cause an impact later especially on Elibarra... but that's another post.

MCAI producers and writers intricately wove the mcai kabitserye in all their worldbuilding and script decisions. They even went as far to appropriate Maria Clara scenes from the book onto Klay.

Excuse me while I
