HEAR ME OUT KUNG MAY CHRISTMAS SPECIALS SANA NG THE RIPPER OF ROXAS BOULEVARD BAGO MATULOG—

👁️👁️ @ano-po

May I interest you with the Ripper, Halloween Special:

That thing... Whatever that thing is

Perspective of a random Roxas Boulevard walker who witnessed the night he will never forget.

________

Or: See how creepy the Ripper really is, and how Manila is taking this in.

_________

So, my plan in writing is to write several short stories before the 2nd book (which I think will be 50k) as a plot laying technique for the 5-year timeskip. Clue: the second book has presidential election chenes, based from Quezon (2025)

The first short story titled "That thing... Whatever that is" is quite irrelevant, but it's a halloween special, and I just want to see if I can write horror with underlying subtle romance. Read if you want something to read in the cemetery.

Lowkey having a headcanon thoughts in The Ripper of Roxas Boulevard series. Ngl, I lowkey thinks that Aguinaldo is good on drawing instead. And since author reference a historically accurate infos to the fic, his penmanship really sucks so bad— 💀💀💀

And I remembered some screenshots regarding Ambeth Ocampo's post about the comparison of Mabini's and Aguinaldo's letters and their penmanship. They look like a two side of the same coin.

Mabini being the elegant feminine writing meanwhile Aguinaldo having that "kinaladkad na manok" type shi writing. (It's look like a scratch of the damn chicken—)

Some parts in TRORB would he funny as hell. Cause, what do you mean they wrote a non-disclosure contract about the 'Ripper's Investigation' inside Aguinaldo's Manor in Cavite. AND MABINI SEEING HIS PENMANSHIP! 😭😭😭

The amount of potential romantic comedy they had, now I can exactly understand why @ano-po seems rethinking on making the second book way comedic.

Yooo, any news at your end? Quezon Film is out have you watched it yet? Been cooking since my responsibility at the campus has lessened 😭🙏 Thank Mabini as always (Charot, i haven't watched the Quezon Film, too broke at the moment—🥹)

Also I hope you're safe, Cebu been getting hit with dangerous earthquakes!

Here's a coping for a cooking bonus for that last Chapter in TRORB!

Hi 👋

I am also poverty

😭😭😭

I hope your island is alright, too. I heard there are also earthquakes here and there. I'm afraid of the Big One happening during my earthly existence. (I hate being in historically significant times).

Also, I am excited to eat what you're cooking! Did mabinaldo harvest the meat for that? 👀

However, tho I haven't watched the movie, I know history enough to know what to do, but maybe the movie gotta convince me to give Sergio Osmeña a huge role (I also want an excuse to write some bisaya words there 😗). But that aside, I'm still confused on how to treat Mabinaldo here. I admit, romance is not my strongest in suit. So I want some help in deciding:

How is Mabinaldo gonna be in the next story?

Angsty: Pole is wary of miong still. Dark romance ensues. Again.

Untouchable sweet married couple: they kill happily together. Cryptid Comedy!!!

Divorced: "You killed my bsf???" Then way back into love. Romantic Comedy.

i can't believe you finally finished the fic!! it felt like only yesterday did TRoRB had just released, im so proud of you for finishing the fic even though there were so many problems!! anyways, based on your previous posts that was like a conversation post i think, im assuming you're a professor/teacher, right? if im correct, then happy teachers' day! straight to the point nalamg (literal unya reference pud)

a. how do you feel of your accomplishment?? b. are you proud of yourself? c. is your loved one safe with you?? goshh im so worried ahkkk, hopefully your part in cebu city isnt too affected!!😭😭😭

Teacher's day pala? I didn't know hahahaha.

Ay ang saya may interview questions 😭😭😭

1. How do I feel about the accomplishment - I am happy. I am relieved this is done. I couldn't believe myself that I was crazy enough to pick up this prompt that I casually drew back in 2022 or 2023 and now I finished a 98K fic for it. It's the best I have done for any of my fandoms ever. I'm glad my readers appreciate this work. I love you all.

I enjoyed writing this, and most of all, I enjoyed reading yalls comments. No matter how small the fandom is, I enjoyed exploring all their psyches while connecting it to the current political tensions in the country. Call this a labour of love.

Btw, ako lang ba or Disgracia and Discaya sound similar? Ako lang no?

Hahaha again, according to my disclaimers, my characters are not based from anyone living today. Mas nauna si Disgracia ma-publish with timestamps and all. 😆

2. Am I proud of myself? No. I was crazy. I do not know what got into my mind.

3. My loved ones safe? Yes! Thank God. I hope your families are safe, too! We are going to San Remegio to give relief efforts.
