Popo Infected By Count Boroso Jieck/Jiki in MikylaTheReal Style

[sangahnomiya]

I have a headcanon that this side character from a shoujo manga I like — kihal from akagami no shirayuki — is filipino, bc I am silly like that and like hitting charas with the pipino-beam. and now I will subject you all to the headcanon too

it all started a few months ago, when I DEFINITELY should've been sleeping and for some reason decided that I wanted to figure out what kind of bird kihal keeps. his name is popo btw

NOW FOR SOME REASON I COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT. there were quite a few liberties taken with popo's design, so I couldn't guesstimate what he was supposed to be. he acts as a messenger bird, but only pigeons or doves can be trained as messenger birds. the colour of his plumage suggested that he was more of a tropical bird, but I couldn't seem to find any that matched his description

after much internal screaming and banging my head against the wall as I swore vengeance upon the animators and the artists for making popo's species so ambiguous, the lovely @sabraeal (THANK YOU SO MUCH BTW HUHUHU) brought up the idea of popo being inspired by Philippine legends, which had never occurred to me before. which is really funny considering I'm literally pinoy HAHAHWGAHDGF

so I dove back into more researching and lost a bit more sleep bc I wanted ANSWERS. the legends she referenced in particular were the tigmamanukan (a mythical blue bird of omen that appears to people) and the limokon (a kind of dove that people also viewed as an omen bird. it's also known as alimokon in some parts of the Philippines)

according to the wiki, the tigmamanukan is theorised to be either the asian fairy bluebird, the palawan fairy bluebird, or the philippine fairy bluebird. sadly, none of them match popo's appearance, though there remains the possibility that the tigmamanukan is actually another kind of bird 🫣

while I couldn't find any myths about the tigmamanukan in my book (I forgot the title of the volume sorry), I was able to find this myth that referenced the lemugen/limokon/alimokon.

here's another one!

but the appearance of the alimokon STILL didn't match popo, so I was back to square one :(

so I shelved the whole thing (with great reluctance) for a few months and forgot about it till TODAY, when I was researching on local birds for work. AND SUDDENLY I SAW THIS LIL GUY. WHOSE APPEARANCE IS THE CLOSEST MATCH TO POPO THAT IVE EVER SEEN

the image was sourced from here, tho I'm not so sure if that's the original owner.

this is the celestial monarch, a bird that's endemic to the Philippines!!!! though their sizes are different, this is the closest match I've ever gotten to finding for popo. ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDD it also fuels my Pinoy Kihal headcanon so a WIN IS A WIN (I haven't even yapped abt the connection between the walnut stone whistles in AnS and the Philippine epics that incorporate the power of betel nut stones)

however, the celestial monarch is considered to be a critically endangered species by the Philippine Red List. if you've read this far and are interested in helping preserve the celestial monarch or other endangered species, you might want to check your local wildlife conservations to see what you can do to help!

though the name only refers to the Philippine eagle, the Philippine Eagle Foundation is one example that I know of. 10/10 would recommend going to the Philippine Eagle Center btw

SBC #36 Ice Climbers & Ice Climber (Arcade)

One day, a letter arrived. Popo and Nana had been living together for some time now. For seventeen years, it had been the same: every winter the vulture would descend upon the nearby village, and every winter Popo and Nana would quest up the mountain to retrieve their stolen foodstuffs. Even though they were literal saviors, the couple had to live far from the village. They learned a long time…

omegaxian and alphaji who hate fuck throughout the war. somewhere along the way, omegaxian falls in love, to a man who so clearly loathes him. somewhere along the way, he grows softer, scent milk heavy and sweeter. somewhere along the way, he grows heavy with a child, their child, in a body that was meant to have grown incapable of childbearing. attempt the impossible.

wei ying doesnt tell lan zhan, because then he will take responsibility, as righteous as he is, and wei ying will not tie down the man he loves to someone he does not, nor let himself be tied down in a loveless marriage. because he does not want his child to grow up in a place as cold and strict as gusu, where they will be hated for their conception, where they will grow up without two parents who love each other as much as they love them.

because he still dreams of a laughing omega woman and a quiet beta man, a donkey and a smiling child.

he stops seeing lan wangji. wei wuxian still saves the wen refugees. he is still excommunicated from the cultivation world. lan wangji still stands up for him, even though he doesnt know. wei wuxian gives birth to an girl, who catches the heart of his little radish and the wens.

who catches the heart of lan zhan, wei ying knows, as he watches lan zhan hold his little potato so carefully, across the table, while making sure a-yuan is comfortable in his lap. wei ying who aches to tell him just who a-xing is, but knowing it is not the right time. that it never will be the right time.

wei wuxian still dies from his own corpses. this time, he leaves a note tucked into a yuans robes, and kisses his baobaos, one last time, leaving them crying in the arms of wen popo and si shu.

when he wakes up, 13 years later, the lans who come include an alpha, with his old bodys fox sly smile, broad shoulders that come down to a dramatically thin waist. golden eyes. 'gege,' she calls the calm omega, with the nice smile and lan zhans nose. with wen qings and wen nings big eyes.

who calls hanguang jun 'fuqin!' right along with her gege.

who makes the same expression wei wuxian knows he made when jin zixuan would talk to shijie, when wei wuxian falls into lan zhans stiff arms.

who looks away, along with wei wuxians little radish and the rest of the juniors, as lan zhans arms come firmly around him, as he says, through tears, 'lan zhan you saved our little potato and radish'

nonsense only lan zhan, now, could understand.

and when lan zhan says 'wei ying,' wei wuxian knows lan zhan loves him.

in Gaza

We lost our beautiful home with everything in it, and we no longer have a tent, where sadness embraces my children, in the small tent that is not suitable for animals to live in, sand, a burning sun, widespread diseases, and an environment that is not suitable for living.

Every day, we wake up The sound of bombing and hunger tearing their insides apart,

My children go to collect firewood from the remains of destroyed homes, to try to light a small fire to cook what food they have left. They did not know the taste of fruit for 10 months, and it became a piece of banana, apple, and...Potatoes and chocolate are a pipe dream. While my daughter was sitting in front of the fire, trying to cook some leftover rice next to me, her brother approached her and asked innocently: “When are we going to eat?” She answered him with teary eyes: “Soon, brother, soon.”

This is not a child's life, but it is a reality. In this darkness, they wish for a little food, warmth, and safety.

Vicomtesse Burnt Potato! 😭

I love her, thank you for telling us about her!

YES

I'm obsessed with the idea that Aymeric just has this supremely ridiculous name for his cat, and just the fact that he's got such a rancid cat is hilarious. Hence, Viscountess Burnt Popoto or Lady Popoto or just Popo; she was named by Aymeric's mother after he picked her up off the street as a kitten - and yup, she was a small tortie and looked like a burnt potato

hence the name for this beast

She's a big moody tortie that acts like she owns the place, and I'm leaning towards her not liking Surkie since Fenrir isn't fond of Aymeric - so, equally balanced (...tho fenrir is a trans affirming misandrist while popo hates almost everyone). So just really moody cat that I've finally referencd in a draft:

That smile he wore was so ironically inappropriate for the matter they discussed, yet so fitting. “Though, I do wonder if they were being earnest. They’ve been gone a while.”

“I’d not be surprised if the tea was cover to leave for a bit,” Surkukteni guessed with a shrug. “So long as Popo hasn’t hunted them down, it should be fine.” She swore that blasted cat - as old as she was - still had all the natural prowess of a coeurl.

“How dreadful. I finally wrangle him to my abode, and the Viscountess Burnt Popoto slaughters him before the night’s even arrived,” Aymeric deadpanned, unable to mask the smile that crept onto his face.

context: this is following the scene where aymeric officially joins the polycule, so just trying to discuss how things will go since he's seeing surkie and estinien but not necessarily ysayle (not immediately, but they do end up having chemistry). ysayle and estinien disappeared for a bit, surkie and aymeric got talking and gestures at the above. the matter discussed is they were very casually talking about the hits surkie had done for him as if it were just simple errands

I say I read and write Tom x Jerry fanfic ON TUMBLR

And everyone is like, "yeah, makes sense" and move on.

I say I read and write Tom and Jerry fanfic on INSTAGRAM

AND SUDDENLY EVERYONE WANTS TO REPORT ME TO THE POLICE!

*CACKLING* AS IF I HAVENT BEEN ON THEIR WATCHLIST FOR YEARS!

I can just imagine one of the people who follow me, the ones who only recently got to know me, get completely horrified and call up the popo and be like "SHE READS SOME WILD SHIT! SHE JUST ADMITTED IT! SHE NEEDS TO BE LOCKED UP"

the police officer sighs and goes, "the one with the Harry Potter name with the insane look in her eyes everytime you mention potatoes and or broccoli? The one that looks innocent at school but is complete edgy punk with chains and may be concealing a weapon when going to the malls to intimidate everyone so she dosnt have to talk to anyone? The one who seems to know way too much about how to hide a body? The one who drinks way too much tea and coffee?"

"YEAH YES YEAH HER! SHE'S INSANE! YOU HAVE TO--

"Yeah, yeah. We know. Get used to it. The psych wards won't take her." The police officer hangs up, sighs and pulls up the tally score on my name for all the Google searches I've made.

Current count: Not enough to arrest.

willa fitzgerald . thirty-three . she/her ➶ i recognise that face ! that’s posy hawthorne , the thirty three year old teacher & trainee healer from district twelve . they’re lucky to have escaped to  district thirteen during the 94th games, and have been here long enough to gain a reputation for being so stolid & somber .

˚ · • . 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐬 ...

— (+) stolid, tough, soft-hearted, courageous, observant

(-) somber, harsh, clinical, unforgiving, dishonest

˚ · • . 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 before the capitol ...

— circumstances for the hawthorne family meant that posy took on a maternal role in her home very young. She didn’t have a lot to remember or say about her dad, she got used to that because she had to. Her mom crawled inside her own mind after losing two husbands, posy was old enough to recognize she had to step up, in a different way from how gale had to but that was just it : they both had to. An observant kid, she was able to pick up rudimentary skills that became necessary for them to survive. Before her mom became a ghost, a shadow at best, she’d learned how to make soups and stews out of pretty much anything. In school she learned to read as quickly as she could, knowing her time there would be limited. She made friends in the hob and asked people questions she felt would help her help her family, like where certain seeds might grow when they thought she was wasting money she didn’t have to buy the seeds.

With help posy planted a secret garden, all it grew was potatoes but the staple was enough to keep them all fed most of the time. When gale and katniss started hunting, Posy figured out how to skin and clean the animals, how to identify the good bits, how to cook them and fill bowls evenly. Posy planted a few herbs when she could, not a lot could grow in twelve but she gave what she could to katniss and primrose. In exchange for the herbs mrs. everdeen taught posy some basic first aid. Posy was grateful to the everdeens, but even though she knew gale trusted them entirely posy had never been very good at trusting anyone but flesh and blood. 

Posy managed to stay in school longer than most of her peers, she was smart enough to understand more complicated concepts and her teacher gave her as many lessons as possible until she ran out. Posy was fourteen, she asked to teach the younger kids and the job stuck until the day she ran from district twelve. 

Though she had never confided in anyone except gale, posy had dreams of a better life. She was wary of romantic entanglements after seeing what the loss of their partner had done to her mother and to mrs. everdeen. The probability of loss was much too high in district 12 to risk it, and she’d lived the life of a woman with young children to look after and keep safe and fed. Children who had no future, no prospects, no hope. Maybe posy buried her desire for her own family in the dirt with the potatoes, maybe it leaked out of her over the years of struggle and starvation and fear, maybe maybe maybe …. 

When gale first whispered of revolution, Posy was immediately on board, no questions asked because in her sharp mind she knew that change required too much and she was willing to give all of it because nothing could possibly be worse than the hell she’d spent her entire life living. 

˚ · • . 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 after the capitol ...

—  once posy got to thirteen she saw to it that her younger brothers were taken care of before she accepted any care herself. Once they got settled in their spaces she began to worry about gale and couldn’t settle down until he arrived safe. After a few days posy decided she needed to make herself useful, she’d always been driven to help even if she wasn’t the warmest of people. It was ironic really, she was different with the children, the young ones that needed a kind word. But with everyone else she revealed nothing. There were not a lot of children in thirteen and it was tragic learning why, and her brothers were adults even if she still saw them as kids. 

Thirteen had no need for a teacher, not yet so she had to pursue her only other real skill set. Mrs. everdeen had taught her when posy had had the time to help, now she asked to be trained as a healer in earnest. They’d started a war, there would be a need for medics and healers and she had a good foundation. They agreed to train her and she learned fast, she had to and she’d always been so smart. Seeing the soldiers and innocents wasn’t difficult for posy, she had a thick skin and she wasn’t a stranger to adversity, pain, injury, blood. She was a good fit and she enjoyed being close to primrose and mrs.everdeen again. Life wasn’t necessarily easier, but it was simpler somehow and posy could accept that.

Even more stuff happened and I’m still trying to get caught up

Friday April 14 2023

First day of school

I stated my day with a nice breakfast.

I took a bite of the fish before taking a picture. The orange thing near the fhis is some kind og gourd or mellon. It has dark green skin with an orange inside and it tases good, kind of like sweet potato.

Then I had a 20 minute walk to campus.

The way that classes are set up is diffrent than what I’m used to. Here I only have class once a week (except japanese language which I have every day) and each class is 1 hour and 45 minutes. as aposed to my 50 minute classes 2 or 3 times a week. Fortunatly all of my classes are taught in english (except for japanese language).

I started off the school day with Japanese language (which was a struggle, but not just for me). Then we got to my interesting class; Japanese History and Literature! This class is so cool, we get to learn about histry and culture throught litrature! For our first assingment we needed to read the first chapter of the Talke of Genji.

After class the girls and I walked home. I stopped and bought some mochi and dango, and Sunny and I bought takoyaki!

Takiyaki is a ball of batter filled with octopus and topped with sause, mayo and fish flakes. I’t is SOOOOOOO good! Dango has many types but the one I was most familure with (because of anime) is the green, white, and pink one. It is this slightly sweet chewy ball of goodness on a stick! The mochi I had had has a strawberry inside and was super delicious. What a great reward for making it through my fist day!

Then at dinner we had desert. It was matcha jellly with red been paste. So the match jelly was not sweet at all, and the red been paste was puprsiningly sweet so I had to make sure that every bite of jelly had bean paste but it was realy good and I’m glad for the experiance.

Saterday April 15 2023

Got to sleep in a bit, but eventyaly went down to breakfast (at like 8:30).

The whiteish thing next to the sausage and broccoli was a cabage roll of some kind. 

Later in the day I went grocerie shopping because my dorm dosn’t feed us lunch, or at all on Sundays. One of the shops I went to had live fish that you could buy! As well as other very fresh sea food that was dead.

I also saw this Demon Slayer candy that reminded me of the grave of the Fireflys candy I had with friends before coming to Japan.

So here is a minor mistory in my life. I have been eating this plant and it’s pretty good, but I don’t know what it is. There is a picture of it on a bag of sesame seads. I would love to know what it is, so if you know tell me.

To the suprise of no one (I’ms sure) I bought instant noodles for food for the next few days. But I also bought some other delicous snacks.

This is POPO and is basicaly a inverted pocky stick. Filling on the inside cracker on the outside.

And this is Dango but with a sweet soy sause glaze.

Dinner was good altho the bowl with what looks like fruit was deciving. It was not sweet like I expected. The large white chunks that look like fruit, felt like fruit but were not sweet at all and the pink and white things may have been seafood of some kind? Overeall a strange thing that my mouth was not expecting but tased good once I got over the visual deception.

Sunday April 16

I walked to church by myself! I found out that my church building was only a 17 minute walk away. 

One my way to church I spotted Mario!

Once there people were very welocoming and I got to go to a YSA class. It was nice and there were even a few other people who spoke English, so I was able to know what the lesson was about.

On my way back I spotted this funny little drink in a vending machine.

Later in the evening there was a get to know you party for my dorm. They fed us pizza, fried chicken, and drinks, and had party games! 

The fried chicken was realy good. The pizza was flavor/topping cobinations i had never even dreamed of before, and still don’t know what all of them were.

My pizza was good but stange with the toppings of core and scalupt potatos.

I got to witness how other eat pizza...  with chopsticks! I kid you not.

They even had donuts for desert! I had a strawberry glazed one.

Then we played Bingo and I won a prize.

It was realy fun and great to meet so many kind people. I enjoyed myself. My prize was a face mask.

Monday April 17

Back into classes! Strated off the day strong with a healthy breakfast.

1 pice of chicken, an potato croquette, egg salad, arugala salad, a noodle and seaweed salad, rice, and miso soup. A superb breakfast.

My classes on Monday start later than the rest of the week so I had a nice time relaxing and getting ready for the day before heading off to class. my first class of the day was Japanese Tradional and Contemporary Culture. This is my FAVORITE class. My teacher wears a kimono for every lesson. This class we learn about hisorical customs as well as modern customs and why they exist and the meaning behind them. For this class we also get to learn how to put on a kimomo, do a tradional tea ceramony, do tradional flower aranging and so much more! IT’S SO COOL AND INTERESTING!!!!!! My teacher had cute crabs on her obi and let me take a picture.

After class I went to lunch and got the daily special. I had no idea what it was because I can’t read the vending machine. Luckily it was delicious.

I once again got a potato croquette and fried meat on a bed of cabbage, as well as a stiff seaweed salad ( it my have been dreid fish?, im not sure), miso soup, the orange mellon-gourd thing with creamed egg, and of corse rice.

After luch we struggled through japanese class, then headed home. For dinner I had this meal. Gotta say it was not my favorite, but the egg/tofu (not sure) pepper and green been side dish was realy good.

That will be it for this update, but expect another long one soon, maybe even later today! If you have any questions odds are you have a way of contacting me.

Thursday, 01/05/2023 (written past 00:00, so technically a late recount)

Last night's dream(s): I visited Florida Popo and Tei Tei's place but for some reason, I didn't bring my laptop or iPad so I was freaking out that I would not be able to get any work done. I was back at Ward, waiting to consult with Rossi. Leanna (Annie's little sister) was there, and she was already in Grade 9. Another person I believe used to be friends with Kayla M. in my TA was there. In another dream, I had spiderman powers.

Where I went today: Home, Orthodontist (I took the bus this time), NoFrills, Costco

What I ate today: For lunch, which I ate pretty late, after my ortho appointment, I ate sweet potato, bok choy, a Chinese bakery bun, and a cup of tea. For dinner, I had egg, rice, fried fish, and yogurt and more tea after.

What I did: I had my ortho appointment. Since I took the bus today, I ran 10 minutes late (even though I left 35 minutes before the appointment - it said it would take less than 30 mins). I emailed them my panorama, they said my wisdom teeth need to be taken out sooner rather than later, and that I had long healthy roots. In the evening, I went grocery shopping with the whole family. First we went to No Frills and bought 8 bags of rice, and then we went to Costco.

Media I consumed today: I downloaded a book from library genesis called "Sketching for Animation". I hope it'll help me draw in my sketchbook more and just learn animation. I also downloaded a book called "Life Drawing for Animation" which I'm hoping will help me as well. I continued reading a few chapters of Howl's Moving Castle - it's getting juicy with the love pentagon (?) between Lettie, Martha, Sophie, Howl, and Michael. I love the drama. I also watched Billie and Jean Ep 5.

Things I worked on: nothing! Hopefully, sketchbook after I write this journal.

Things I am grateful for today: Mom and dad - they always provide.

Closing Thoughts: Mom told me today that I "should make a movie. A short one." I agree. I want to be a filmmaker. I want to be great. I want to be the best. I want to provide abundantly. In excess. To everyone I know and love. I want to find my style and who I am. I want to work with the best.

We lost our beautiful home with everything in it, and we no longer have a tent, where sadness embraces my children, in the small tent that is not suitable for animals to live in, sand, a burning sun, widespread diseases, and an environment that is not suitable for living.

Every day, we wake up The sound of bombing and hunger tearing their insides apart,

My children go to collect firewood from the remains of destroyed homes, to try to light a small fire to cook what food they have left. They did not know the taste of fruit for 10 months, and it became a piece of banana, apple, and...Potatoes and chocolate are a pipe dream. While my daughter was sitting in front of the fire, trying to cook some leftover rice next to me, her brother approached her and asked innocently: “When are we going to eat?” She answered him with teary eyes: “Soon, brother, soon.”

This is not a child's life, but it is a reality. In this darkness, they wish for a little food, warmth, and safety.
