y'all please go watch trese. it has a bad-ass sapphic* filipina heroine, himbos, hot magical creatures, a found family trope, a really good take on today's social issues like corruption and police brutality and did i mention the hot magical creatures- nah but overall, it's a really good show about filipino mythology, culture and lore, and if you're a huge sucker for these things like moi then this show's for you if you like those sort of things then this show is for you.
and it was just really nice to see my culture represented on-screen, it was really awesome to see the filipino lore and mythology i've been reading since i was a kid come to life.
*EDIT: i got an anon about this, about the whole "alex trese is sapphic thing". so i did more research and it's not confirmed by the author/creator. so i'm really sorry to anyone who might've gotten disappointed or confused. but if you do headcannon alex as sapphic then go on right ahead. (i too, also headcannon her as sapphic)
i also got another anon about this, and they sent me a link to the tweet where budjette tan (the creator) might've possibly stated that alex is indeed sapphic. here's the link to the tweet.
