Day 30 - Alexandra Trese from Trese by Budjette Tan and Kajo Baldisimo

Do you have any recommendations for Filipino movies, series or books? I'd like to learn more about SEA cultures, so engaging with stories set in the Philippines and written by Filipinos would be great :)

hey there, sorry i answered this so late! the unfortunate thing is that i don't engage with enough local media to comfortably recommend anything, especially if they're going to be the basis through which a non-local approaches the culture. that being said, i did ask some of my friends who do for some recommendations, and here's what they gave me: Graphic Novels / Comics: Trese by Budjette Tan (also has an animated adaptation on Netflix, i think) Strange Natives: The Forgotten Memories of a Forgetful Old Woman by Paolo Herras Books / Anthologies: May Day Eve by Nick Joaquin The Collected Stories of Gregorio C. Brillantes Bagets: An Anthology of Filipino Young Adult Fiction Patron Saints of Nothing by Randy Ribay Neil Gaiman Presents the Philippine Graphic Fiction Awards Prose Anthology Alternative Alamat by Paolo Chikiamco

i know a lot of my filipino mutuals here are also pretty big into local media, so if any of you see this post, please feel free to give your own reccs! gives me something to go through, too.

When All Is Well

I own all seven volumes of the Trese comics by Budjette Tan and KaJo Baldisimo, and I look forward to reading the new Verdugo special. Alexandra's brothers being introduced in Volume 3 (and given a 2-second cameo in the scene below) and their individual adventures being touched on in the Bloodlines comic inspired me to make this piece. It's really nice, for me, to imagine them together in a relaxed setting like this.

Hewwo Bloo!! Could I ask for 🤔💚🐈🐉 for Cheryl?

Hi Ash!!!! Thank you for sending some for my babygirl!! 🥹🥹🥹

🤔 THINKING FACE - what are some of your oc's quirks/mannerisms?

Cheryl often does a deep inhale that she releases as a cough, on account of her chronic lung problem. 

Often does a head-tilt. Actually sees better with her head tilted. 

💚 GREEN HEART - does your oc prefer being inside or outside?

She definitely prefers being outside. Her adoptive parents' house is stifling, and she often feels like she's not welcome there - like a tolerated pet. When she's home from boarding school, she stays away when she can.

You'll often find her in the library or along the wooded areas in town, often riding her horse. She's also a common fixture at bus stops, because she doesn't own a car. 

🐈 CAT - does your oc prefer a wide circle of friends or a few close friends?

She didn't get the opportunity to have a lot of friends. She got singled out by the mean girls (Lydia, Thea, and Aneska) and nobody wanted to help lest they got bullied too. She's also very intimidating, so people often hesitated to approach her. 😕 She would have liked to have people she could talk to, though.

But really, she doesn't have the patience or the energy to deal with a lot of people/friends. She doesn't compromise easily, so she wouldn't have attempted to blend in or get along with a big circle of friends. 

She's a one-friend type of person and usually the dominant one in the relationship. Her friendship/romantic relationship with Dylan Mercer and "Clancy" are both like this.

🐉DRAGON - what's your oc's favorite mythical creature?

In Philippine mythology, there's a serpent-like dragon known as Bakunawa. He was believed to cause eclipses, the different phases of the moon, and earthquakes. During new moons, she likes to say "Nilamon na." - "It's been eaten." 

As a comic book fan, she developed a liking for tikbalang - the Philippine version of centaurs. Only because the one she's familiar with looks like: 

(Maliksi from Trese by Budjette Tan)

On the topic of Trese, do half-gods count?

Anyway, if you want to consume media with Filipino folk stuff done by Filipinos that you could definitely get internationally, please just read Trese by Kajo Baldisimo and Budjette Tan and it also has an animated series available on Netflix, or for a more ragtag team of misfits fighting monsters story read Mythology Class by Arnold Arre.

I know it's not really for kids or YA but it's a whole lot more accurate about Filipino folk stories than others.

Do NOT test Alexandra's patience. Also, this transition would look so badass animated!!
