#filipino athletes

[aweshii]

drew this a few months ago for @thebenildean’s [REDACTED] issue about defying gender stereotypes in the 2020 Olympics.

my illustration was inspired by old filipino postcard stamps and posters of men and women in their traditional outfits, but this time i wanted to feature these inspiring athletes who have broken the norms and social constructs of what it takes to be considered a successful athlete in the philippines ✨

Southern Fried Asian: Patrick Michael Strange

On Southern Fried Asian, fellow NOC fam Patrick Michael Strange is in conversation with Keith about growing up as a military brat across the South! From South Carolina and Mississippi to joining the Navy in Viriginia, Patrick recounts coming to terms with his identity as a Filipino American and as a comic book nerd. They also discuss his own nerd empire and a memorable Comic-Con experience.…

'I am so happy and so blessed. Shocking din po, na nanalo po ng gold ang Pilipinas (I was also shocked I won the gold for the Philippines). For the whole game, try lang po ako mag-maintain ng aking (I was just trying to maintain my) focus and execution.

Ang balitang ito ay kuha sa Manila Times

Funny you mention crossover with CTOS because in my mind, my Football Player!M!MC and CTOS!M!MC actually met and hooked up a couple of times when CTOS!MC was in NYC for some random plot reason lol

They are both queer and Southeast Asian (Chinese Filipino on CTOS!MC's part) athletes, so they did the math lol It was before Nate for MC!MC and before even admitting to self that he loves Sam for CTOS!MC, ofc. No cheating!

Altho it was a very "And they were both tops!" time for them. Still, frustrations were released!

Oh my god!!! I love this idea!! CT:OS MC hooking up with Merry Crisis MC (while they were both jocks) and then realizing they have feelings for Sam is DYNAMITE excuse me?!?!

I feel like in this case it would be canon that Sam maybe knew about Merry Crisis MC (since Sam was CTOS's MC'S best friend) and they both enjoy each other's company.

FINALLY (completely) DONE, FINALLY, here are my two "main" Wayhaven detectives. I added alternate outfits because I am a fool.

Profile based on the ones that @ladiemars made for her detectives (part 2, I posted an older version of Gavin a while ago) Some random trivia under the cut:

Gavin:

He's got a bachelor's in criminal law with a minor in psychology

Was a multi-sport athlete in high school and still works out, but sucks at fighting

Party guy in college, has mellowed out a *lot* since then but he has maintained an impressively high alcohol tolerance

Used to be a big crybaby all the way up until middle school, which he's still embarrassed about

Didn't sleep with Mason because he wanted feelings to be involved, and initially assumed Mason would lose interest eventually (now surprised to be proven wrong)

Lauren:

Has a bachelor's double majoring in Comp Sci and Art History

She's biracial (Rebecca is Filipino+Chinese, Rook was Scottish)

Huge history and book enthusiast, trying very hard not to be weird about it to Nate (or barrage him and Adam with questions)

AuDHD, always finds incredibly disruptive ways to fidget

Literally in love with Nate, still too afraid to pursue a relationship (look at her UB, she is the emotionally unavailable captain now)

meet our oc - amelie fishel

reckless driving au masterlist

**spoiler free!!**

The basics!

Amelie Iris Fishel was born on June 11, 2002 in Detroit, Michigan

Her mother, Elise is of French descent and her father, Thomas is a quarter Filipino on his mother’s side. 

Amelie studied at the University of Michigan from 2020-2024 on a full scholarship, graduating with a double degree in communications and design. 

She worked with the Michigan Athletic Department as a photographer, photographing practically every single sport at the college. She was assigned to photograph the men’s hockey team a good amount, thus becoming familiar with the players.

In her last two years, she was the TA in classes that Adam Fantilli, Rutger McGroarty, Gavin Brindley, Luca Fantilli and Nick Moldenhauer took. 

With her time photographing the hockey team, she became the closest (relatively to the others) to Ethan Edwards

Dated twice in college

First time was more casual with a girl named Sara that she met in one of her classes freshmen year. Ended up just fizzling out. They’re still friendly

Second time was more serious with Cooper Volt, a guy on the baseball team

Dated for a little over a year; broke up January of her junior year

Hoping to photograph sports at the professional level

She has two older sisters and is close with both of them.

Colette Susanna is six years older than Amelie. She works for Kate Spade in New York City in fashion merchandising. 

Charlotte Marie is four years older than Amelie. She is studying at Stanford University for her PhD in Physics. 

Danced all throughout her childhood until she graduated high school. At her most intense, she was dancing close to 20 hours a week. She danced a bit in college, but not as intense. 

Nicknames include Ami (by Ethan and her sisters), Mimi (by Adam)

Key character traits: stubborn, ambitious, rational, blunt, loyal

Clothing style: headbands, bows, hair scarves, etc etc. Amelie loves having some sort of fabric in her hair. 

Meets Jack Hughes during the summer of 2024, when she’s staying at Stanley and Ruth’s — her grandparents — new lakehouse that’s located on the same street as Quinn and Jack’s lakehouse in Bloomington, Michigan. 

She had already known Luke from when they overlapped in college.

Random fun tidbits!

The kind of person who has very few close friends than a bunch of friends (quality over quantity vibes)

Attaches memories to place a lot, to the point where it’s sometimes detrimental

Textbook introvert

Observes and adapts very seamlessly to her surroundings, which helps her photography career

Beer hater

Very good pool player

Sweet tooth - always has some sort of chocolate with her at all times

Favorite musical artists: 5 Seconds of Summer, Chelsea Cutler, Lizzy McAlpine, Miley Cyrus, Maggie Rogers, Noah Kahan 

Big musical theater fan — some of her favorite musicals are The Last Five Years, Dogfight, Waitress and In The Heights

Meet My OC: Asa De Leon x Raphael

🗣️: @akesdraws-blog @m1dnyt3-w0lf @tinkabelle19 @sharpwindow @pheradream-15 @fyreball66 @shinzowosasageyoooo @miss-andromeda

Face claim: Ylona Garcia

Name: Asa De Leon

Age: 21

Sex: F

Nationality: Filipino-American

Race: Asian

Family. Asa was born to parents Malaya De Leon and Anthony De Leon in Manila, Philippines. Asa had very few memories of her father, most of them tainted by his acts of infidelity and abuse towards her mother, Malaya. When Asa was five-years-old, Malaya left her husband and took Asa with her to immigrate to the U.S. and join her mother, who had already established herself as a geriatric nurse working in a nursing home. Asa was raised by mother and her grandmother in their little home in Albany.

Personality. ISTP (Virtuoso). Asa is an ambivert, comfortable both around people and by herself. Unlike Sayuri, Asa has a more bold temperament and has a tendency to be defiant. Like Sayuri, she takes her principles very seriously and is unafraid to stand up for them. Asa is the type of girl who’s willing to throw hands and rip hairs the second you insult someone she cares about. Although she can be quite impulsive, she is also known to be sly, ambitious, and quick-witted. Her sarcasm and dark humor are a part of her charm. Be her friend, and you have an ally loyal to a fault.

Character Conflict. Being Asian — being Filipino meant a lot expectations, especially from family and at school. Asa was not really the studious academic. She’s not very proficient at math or science. She wasn’t part of any debate team or won gold at athletic events. She was an artist. A musician. A writer. A dreamer. The nonsense that her mother absolutely abhorred. Asa thinks sometimes that she’s the daughter her mother doesn’t need and will never measure up to be.

Trauma. When Asa was five-years-old, she saw her mom being beaten by dad severely. Asa will never forget what happened. Malaya was pressed against the floor, bleeding and bruised, as she raised her arms feebly to shield herself from the blows. Before Asa knew it, she took an empty bottle from the dining table and slammed against her father’s head, knocking him unconscious. That night, Malaya fled with Asa.

Talents and Interests. Asa can write, compose, sing, play the guitar and piano, and draw. She likes to run and box. She’s a geek for Harry Potter and Percy Jackson, and one of her life’s mission is to bring OPM (original pinoy music) to the States.

Present Situation. Asa now lives in New York City by herself goes to NYU Manhattan majoring in computer science. During the day she takes her classes, and at night she plays at gigs and networks.
