Hi, there's this Filipino guy on campus who I'm really interested in. He's got those big muscles and not exactly the smartest guy. I wanna ask him out, but he's only ever dated other Southeast Asian men, and I'm just your typical white twink. Could you please help me out, Genie?
“I wish he liked me,” you whisper, watching the Filipino hunk from across the quad.
“Then do I have the product for you,” crows a genie dressed like he’s on his way to a business meeting. “Just apply this lust patch and you’ll become the perfect guy to nail him down.”
You take what looks like a nicotine patch from the genie. It looks shockingly dark against your pale skin. Picturing your boy in your mind, imagining every inch of his big hairy muscles, you stick the patch to your skinny bicep.
Immediately, it seems to sink into your skin, the deep brown colour spreading up your arm as your muscles spasm and grow. Your hand flexes, the fingers thickening and turning leathery with calluses. A tattoo swirls into existence on your growing delt as the colour licks up your neck. You feel your jawline crack and sharpen, then your nose grows, your eyes darken, your brow lowers. Your hair turns black as your mind is overwhelmed.
Your thoughts are suddenly in Tagalog. You stand up and swagger through crowds of students until you’re standing in front of your target. He looks up at you, and you can see the submission in his eyes. Who’d have thought that the way to get this horndog to settle down was to be an even more dominant Filipino?
Of course, along with the masculinity, your new bitch’s perfect man is even dumber and more promiscuous than him. It’ll be hard for you to keep up with your classes between fucking your way through the football team.
Another wish fulfilled.
Got a wish you need twisted? Send an ask! Remember to say “I wish” so the genie hears exactly what you’re wishing for.

Okay, so I’ve talked about it before on here, but I’m going to talk about it again now that I’m more than halfway through Earthspark. I am absolutely shocked and touched by the amount of Filipino representation there is in this show. Growing up as a person with multiple ethnic identities, I grew up mostly in my Filipino heritage compared to the six others. I don’t speak much Tagalog, mostly because my family speaks predominantly Ilonggo/Hiligaynon, but the moment Alex said “Lolo” I was completely shocked, because I’ve never heard someone in a TV show speak my language before. I have never had Filipino representation onscreen growing up, so Earthspark is actually the very first show where I get that. Episode six literally almost brought me to tears because I vividly remember my mom telling stories about Filipino folklore like the Wak-Wak or Mangkukulam and Engkanto. The usage of the phrase “Tabi Tabi Po” became almost a mantra for me when I would wander the woods or explore more rural areas where I grew up. This episode was a love letter to the Philippines, and those who struggle with finding their identity and taking refuge in the family history that is passed onto them from one generation to the next. To see my folklore, language, and represented so naturally in this show is absolutely moving, and a further example of why representation in media is so important.

Okay so I'm loving Earthspark but I have one nitpick: Alex grew up in Bohol. Bohol is in the Visayas, so he should say that 'Lolo' is a Bisaya word, not a Tagalog one.
Like, come on, it's a simple google search! Filipino rep is already so small and mostly focuses on Tagalog speakers. As a Bisayan with family FROM Bohol it's a shame to see the writers drop the ball on this one.

I know damn well that Alex fucking Malto will start to decorate the house with Christmas decorations once it's September; he might even buy a fucking Christmas countdown.
This isn't a headcanon I KNOW IT'S CANON BECAUSE I'M FILIPINO AND HE'S CANONICALLY FILIPINO AND MANY FILIPINOS WILL START TO DECORATE IN SEPTEMBER-

OOC POST:
im very proud of my own heritage as a filipino (after having internalized racism for so long😞) and to better understand fantasy!kristina i recommend reading about diwatas which are mountain goddesses/protectors. here’s a link to one which details the myths such as mariang sinukuan (personal fav bc im kapampangan)
and fun fact: kristina maria ampuan is her full name and maria is a common name used by diwatas<3
here are some other links to 2 diwatas and their respective native regions/ethnic tribes in the philippines
maria cacao — cebu & maria makiling — mount makiling
a common thread between most of them are that they are ethereal protectors of land and regions! (kristina is on the more….. violent side)

Hi! I'm a pretty average Filipino guy who could use some help. I work in media, and it is so frustrating that I am always behind the camera as my looks are not fit for a celebrity or a model.
I wish I was an irresistible hunk whose face and body cannot be ignored by cameras and eyes alike.
You’re taking a break on set, scrolling on your phone, when a video call suddenly opens on your phone. On the other end is a distinguished-looking Arabic man, a genie if you’ve ever seen one.
“Hmmm,�� he says, looking you over. “Yes, I can see what we will have to do. Here.” He gestures, and suddenly you’re wearing a chain around your neck. It glitters in the light reflected from the set. “Enjoy your time in front of the camera,” the genie says, and the call ends.
Suddenly, there’s a spotlight on you, and then another. In the darkness beyond the lights, the red light of a camera flicks on. Somewhere in the distance, a director calls, “Action!”
Your body moves of its own accord, inflating with bulky Filipino muscle as you run a hand up your tightening belly. There’s suddenly a cap in your hand, which you put on over your perfect hair as you gaze into the camera and slide your arms behind your head, revealing your hairy pits. You part your lips slightly, giving the camera fuck-me eyes, and you hear a few moans from the darkness beyond the lights.
Even if you someday leave this studio, the next time you pass in front of a camera you’ll be caught, unable to stop teasing the invisible eyes beyond. But that’s what you wanted, right?
Another wish fulfilled.
