we’re not fucked. our parents lived through marcos’ dictatorship, we were able to perserve despite duterte’s administration. if the son of the former dictator were to truly take the seat as president, then we’re definitely not gonna be taking that news without a fight. filipinos are terrifyingly resilient considering the history of our own country. yes we struggle a lot, but in the same vein, we are able to get back up again despite all the calamities and disasters we have been through. we literally deal with 20 cyclones every year, and yet we still manage to stand, still manage to persevere through it all.
this is new incoming storm—in the form of a potentially reawakening dictatorship—may be powerful, but it certainly isn’t something we can’t overcome. the fact that we’re still here is proof of that, the fact that we’re still alive shows the incredible resilience of our filipino people.
do not lose hope for our country, do not lose faith in each other, and do not lose hope in our people. we’ll get through this like we always do.
also added this because it’s just as important.
I NEEDED THIS SM
i have a little collection of websites i tend to use for coming up with ideas, naming people or places, keeping clear visuals or logistics, writing basics about places i've never been to, and so on. i tend to do a lot of research, but sometimes you just need quick references, right? so i thought i'd share some of them!
Behind the Name; good for name meanings but also just random name ideas, regardless of meanings.
Fantasy Name Generator; this link goes to the town name generator, which i use most, but there are lots of silly/fun/good inspo generators on there!
Age Calculator; for remembering how old characters are in Y month in Z year. i use this constantly.
Height Comparison; i love this for the height visuals; does character A come up to character B's shoulder? are they a head taller? what does that look like, height-wise? the chart feature is great!
Child Development Guide; what can a (neurotypical, average) 5-year-old do at that age? this is a super handy quickguide for that, with the obviously huge caveat that children develop at different paces and this is not comprehensive or accurate for every child ever. i like it as a starting point, though!
Weather Spark; good for average temperatures and weather checking!
Green's Dictionary of Slang; good for looking up "would x say this?" or "what does this phrase mean in this context?" i love the timeline because it shows when the phrase was historically in use. this is english only, though; i dig a little harder for resources like this in other languages.
*LAUGHS IN "JUST GOT BACK FROM READING A POLTERGEIST SMUT*
BYEEEE
Okay so Venti knows literally every song that has and ever will exist in teyvat but, what about songs from our world?
Imagine hanging out with his beloved creator when all of sudden they get one of those ear worms- you know the ones where you can't stop humming along until it goes away. And Venti??? doesn't recognize the tune???? How can that be????? He has to know what divine hymn you're honoring him with.
"Your grace, what is that?"
"......cpr x misery."
me reading the end of this ask:
WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO HIM!!
OH THE FACT THAT HE'D CERTAINLY ASK YOU TO SING HIM THE LYRICS TO YOUR HOLY SONG SO HE MAY SING IT WITH YOU. And you, his ever lovely, benevolent, almighty god, sang the lyrics happily to him. His smile slowly morphs from sheer glee to sheer horror as you look at him straight in the eyes while the sinful words mixed with another that suddenly don't make any sense tumbles out of your mouth.
Venti's ears felt like they're falling off.
Venti, stuffing himself into a laundry basket after the song: I dedicated my songs and ballads to our Supreme Creator, (Name), and this is the thanks I get?
Ain't no way Cater is straight 😭
been thinking about. him
(Note; tits can also refer to pecs, aight? Cool. I’m doing this out of boredom because my brain won’t let me write properly. So just, have this trash-)
