GAGI GAGI GAGI GAGI KINIKILIG AKO MALALA ANUBAYAN RAAAAAAAAAGHGHGHGHFHHG SANAOL TALAGA LORD

— filo!caleb: high school edition

SUMMARY. in another world, you and caleb aren't runaway lab rats who are running out of time. in another world, you're just high school students who are more than friends, but not quite lovers. this is that world [or more accurately, filo!caleb as your bff pro max 1TB fully paid]

SOUNDTRACK. ikot by over october // "naiisip mo ba sa mga oras na tayo'y magkasama, kung ano tayo sa buhay ng isa't isa?"

sikat na sikat si caleb sa school niyo. i mean, maliban sa pagiging star basketball player (laging MVP yan sa intrams), he's also an academic achiever (consistent dean's lister!!!) tapos gwapo pa siya???

sinalo ata niya lahat noong umulan ng swerte, talino, at kagwapuhan sa mundo eh

caleb gives me such leader ng "boys at the back" energy. yung tipong paborito ng lahat ng mga teacher because of how funny and charming he is

kapag may quiz kayo at di pa ready ang buong klase, siya yung laging inaatasang makipagkwentuhan sa teacher para di matuloy HAHAHAHA

class clown vibes pero matalino. sobrang talino niya actually, lalong-lalo na sa math at physics! paboritong pambato ng school niyo sa mtap at physics olympiad

even though the only thing he does whenever he's excused from classes to review in the library is bother you while you're studying for your own competition, lagi siyang panalo! like sobrang dami niyang medals from academic competitions (dagdag mo pa yung medals niya sa sports, jusq kulang ata ang isang wall para madisplay lahat)

mukhang maangas at maangas naman talaga siya sa ibang tao, pero pagdating sa'yo? naku, wala na! tiklop na tiklop siya beh. isang tingin? wala na! namumula na siya

laging inaasar ng mga tropa niya tungkol sa'yo and yung nakakakilig is that he doesn't even bother denying it

he may not have the courage to confess just yet, but he'll never deny his feelings for you. he loves you loudly

medj di mo lang napapansin kasi ang tagal mo na siyang kilala??? and he's always treated you that way: kind, caring, and affectionate yet playful

there may be times where you want to believe that his feelings for you go beyond friendship pero... ayaw mo maging assumera (read as: you don't want to get hurt)

to put it short, you're both cowards who would rather orbit around each other endlessly than take a risk and lose one another forever

but you're young and dumb high school students, and if there's anything this universe has granted this iteration of you two, it would be time—time to fumble and trip into love; time to grow the courage to confess (⁠✷⁠‿⁠✷⁠)

angst aside, caleb is definitely a hatid-sundo king! witness yung mga guard jan frfr

you always arrive and leave school grounds together. it doesn't matter if you have an org or student council meeting that's running late—he's always willing to wait for you

"baka di ako bigyan ni tita ng lumpia sa birthday mo kapag di kita hinatid pauwi, pips" "sus, mas mahal ka pa ni mama kaysa sa akin eh" (cue the cheeky grin kasi sumakses siya sa pagkuha ng boto ng nanay mo)

to add to that, lagi siyang tumatakas sa cleaners para lang sunduin ka. pero kapag ikaw yung cleaners, siya na mismo yung naglilinis para sayo kasi bakit nila pinapalinis yung disney princess niya? alagang-alaga ka ni caleb mula pagkabata tapos ipapa-floorwax ka lang nila? nasaan yung hustisiya?!

medj OA talaga siya pagdating sayo

in other news, lagi ka rin inaaya ni caleb mag-streetfood after classes

"libre mo?" "syempre may bayad yun, pips. lugi naman ako kung lagi kitang libre" "edi wag" "kiss lang naman yung hinihingi kong bayad eh!" "ulol!" (cue caleb running after you with a wide grin kasi kitang-kita niya yung pamumula ng tenga mo HEHEHEHE)

laging nagpapapansin sa'yo! literal na uhaw sa atensyon mo

yung tipong nagsa-sadboi postings sa FB kapag miss ka niya or di mo siya pinapansin

walang hiya pagdating sa'yo beh. will not hesitate to tag, mention, or @ you

speaking of FB, kapag may nagcoconfess sa'yo sa freedom wall, puno ng mentions sa kanya yung comments

"yieeee, ikaw ha. akala ko ba studies first ka?" "kuya ko lang yun" "ahhh kuya... so bakit ka namumula?"

CHERRY'S NOTES. this one is for my fellow filo caleb girlies! he's just so kuya na crush na bayan pero sa'yo lagi nakatitig vibes to me.

in other news, this is already so long BUT I STILL HAVE MORE FILO CALEB THOUGHTS??? he takes up so much space in my brain, it's not even funny... like i may need to write a part 2 or something 😭

anyways, hope my filo girlies have a restful holy week ฅ⁠^⁠•⁠ﻌ⁠•⁠^⁠ฅ

Eyes are the windows to the soul, and yet, all I see in yours are stars...

[huicchi-pyon]

Rose Situation

I wanted to address this considering I've had an interaction with @peachiseas before and it wasn't at all a good one.

For context, @gb-patch hired new sensitivity readers. And while most of these people are generally normal, one person in particular is being completely unprofessional. I will say my personal opinion on this but first I'd like to lay out the facts.

In this post are several things Rose said. But I also want to add these from my interaction I had with them.

If you can't figure out the problem with what's happening here, I'll be glad to fully explain it and give my own thoughts.

Rose's words are transphobic. In my opinion. This behavior is completely unacceptable.

First of all, who the hell talks to the person who hired them like that? Seriously? There's a way to criticize something that's misrepresented without being literally disrespectful.

Why are they purposely starting discourse? Why would you do that? Your JOB is to give actual feedback, not to just start drama. Again, it is literally unprofessional. Then they erased Tamarack's BISPEC identity. The game is supposed to cater to everyone. You can't expect people to only ship her with women or nonbinary people because SHE IS PANSEXUAL. It's honestly biphobic.

I also want to discuss my conversation with them. Saying that Terry is "sexualized" because he has clothing folds and hips is still the stupidest thing ever. Do you expect his hips to magically disappear? Is he only allowed to wear baggy shirts now? What a misguided idea of trans people. That they have to look a certain way to be trans. It's honestly disgusting. And then they called me racist and transphobic for saying something about it. They used the "I'm black and trans" thing, not realizing I'M black and trans. And why would that even matter anyway?

It's honestly just terrible behavior. I thought this was just a person I disagreed with, but no. They're an actual asshole. GBLady doesn't deserve this. She hired you so she could write better characters and represent cultures more faithfully. But instead you act like an absolute jerk. There needs to be something done about this.

Edit: I made a few changes as I felt they were worded wrong. I'll be listing the changes I made.

I changed the "Rose is transphobic" because I feel it is too harsh, and I also don't want to assume anything.

I also removed the anon ask, because I feel it was unimportant and nonspecific. It doesn't really add anything and it isn't evidence for anything, really.

Lastly, I would like to clarify some things. I don't think Rose should be fired. But I do think this behavior is unacceptable and close-minded for someone who's supposed to be a sensitivity reader. There should be an actual, real statement.

For the people saying that I'm helping a racist hate campaign, I do NOT support anyone who mentions Rose's race in this. My problem is with their words, not their race.

I also just really don't appreciate that GBpatch themselves said that I was cherry picking information when my conversation with Rose is COMPLETELY PUBLIC.

And for people who said I should've said something sooner....why would I? When me and Rose had that argument, they weren't a sensitivity reader. We were literally just two OL fans arguing about something. But it's relevant now. That's why I said something.

[huicchi-pyon]

GB Patch Games: Response About Sensitivity Reader

[Some of you might not have heard of this happening, but I wanted to address it across the board]

Hey everyone,

I want to make a post about the screenshots of comments from one of our sensitivity readers. The situation is that neither me or Rose want people to feel uncomfortable with Our Life: Now & Forever, but Rose hasn’t done anything terribly wrong and isn’t going to be punished.

The comment about OL MCs wasn’t meant to be genuine hatred towards all male players/MCs of OL. Rose wrote a reply about it-

"Hi everyone! This is Rose, I want to address the male MC comment since it was taken wildly out of context and without the lengthy discussion that was after it. I don't hate male MCs, in fact far from it, male MCs are integral to the story in OL:NF as female and trans MCs are. I think the relationship they could potentially have with Qiu could be a great asset in my opinion as they figure out their gender alongside the MC. The discussion itself was about how I noticed players were sticking to heteronormative norms by shipping Tamarack with a man purely out of societal norms than it was genuine thought into the characters and how I personally wished there was more sapphic relationships with Tamarack or just Tamarack with trans characters as a sapphic trans person myself. I didn't mean to offend anyone by it as no one but my friends who understood what I legitimately meant behind my message and it definitely wasn't meant to be seen seriously. I am sorry regardless to anyone I have offended and I love your male MCs regardless."

And most of the comments were about me. I’ve seen screenshots of the full conversations and they’re not as harsh as the cropped snippets made them out to be. It was longer discussions about not including Derek in any base game Moments for no good reason and not having any plus-sized love interests in OL1 because I was afraid players wouldn’t accept it. That’s not a lie, it’s what I decided for the game I created, and it is ridiculous of me. I’m the one who should be feeling embarrassed over how OL1 will forever be that way, not the people who remember that I did that. I’m not perfect and Rose actually cares more about the players than making me feel like I am flawless.

I also don’t want to tone police an employee venting about their boss in private, on their own time. Both the OL games deal with personal, important topics. This is sensitive work, and it can bring up frustrations. Sometimes people do use harsh words among friends, but they wouldn’t ever say it to a person seriously and directly.

I understand if you wouldn’t want to see anyone speak badly of a dev you like, but I promise it’s not a point of contention between me and Rose. I don’t feel mistreated in anyway. Rose genuinely cares about the Our Life series, and that’s why they get fed up with me over certain parts of the game.

Rose has never been unkind or unreasonable to me when working on the project, and their advice is detailed and well-explained. They do care about the game and want it to avoid having content that upsets people because of my own ignorance/shortcomings.

This being shared publicly from a private server is targeting Rose and seems to be a continuation of things that have happened before this. I don’t want this to continue happening. If you do still have concerns over the one comment about the community, you can let me know. But again, I don’t want people being mistrustful of Rose on my behalf for comments about me in conversations with missing context.

Do not send angry messages to Rose about any of this. We’ll do our best so that OL2 will be better than I was before. Thank you to everyone who reads this and participates in the community!

"Why? I missed you, angel, you weren't there when I woke up..."

"I know but turn around, I promise it's worth it!"

"Haha, I disagree, but okay..."

"There! You can look now... happy birthday!"

"Oh, my birthda--you got me a collar? Cute.... Do you wear it or do I?"

"/Quest/, I'm saying I adopted that stray of yours. We pick him up from the vet in 2 hours."

"...What? Really? But the owner--"

"--Has approved. It took months, but I did it."

"You... I..."

"'Thanks' is fine."

"Hah... but 'I love you' is better."

Bilingual kids are fun to witness. Was walking our neighbour's dog today, and walked past a playground where I overheard a conversation between a mother (presumably) and her 2-3-year-old kid. The kid kept repeating "aua", which both me and apparently the mother interpreted as "auta" - "help (me)", getting progressively more frustrated, and the mom kept telling him - in finnish - that sweetie I don't know what you want me to help you with, you've got to use more words to explain what the problem is. And after accepting that repeating "aua" with more and more stress on the word wasn't working, the kid yelled out one word in clear swedish:

"HUND!"

And while I don't understand much swedish, I do know some words, including that one. Dog. I looked up at the woman and kid at the park and the kid was pointing straight at me and the dog, and the woman seemed to pierce this together in lockstep with me: The kid hadn't been saying "auta", but "hauva", doggy, and after realising that he couldn't pronounce enough consonants to make the word clear, he had no choice but to resort to another language.
