#QUEZON spoilers but the Manuel/Aurora and Manuel/Sergio parrallel running a river through the narrative with both the dances Manuel dances with them bookending the film listen, I know the tango is, historically, MLQ's favorite dance and that, musically, it is part of his motif, but consciously--

anyway!! #QUEZON SPOILERS but!!!!! the great tragedy of Luna is that he died young before he could see his armies win independence the great tragedy of Goyo is that he died young before he could properly make something of himself; a general, yes, but still very much a child consumed by war

parang I'm getting deja vú (by olivia rodrigo) #quezmeña #mabinaldo #bayaniserye

If there aren't any parallels explicitly or implicitly drawn between Mabinaldo and Quezmeña-- two notoriously pres/vp duos-- I am going to... well. Write some fanfic about it, but I will also be VERY disappointed.

It's actually really funny how I took a break from bayaniserye during the pandemic only to end up in the hbowar fandom. lol. lmao, even. rpf is fine. it's encouraged, actually.

I just realized that there's going to be a whole new generation of Filipinos who'll learn that Aurora and Manuel Quezon are first cousins. The cousintahan jokes are going to be brutal.

Time to revive the unhinged fandom tradition of giving the actors food memes related to their characters at the inevitable Artikulo Uno meet&greet. Mon Confiado receiving a bag of Flattops is a given. But I need Echo and Ben to be drowning in queso de bolas.

Vampirism being a metaphor for the predatory and exploitative practices of colonialism sets up Manuel L. Quezon!Gothic Heroine AU well, I think.

*kaway kaway*

Yes, it is @/bayaniserye from twitter. Sorry ngayon lang, nakalimutan ko na talaga yung password ng account HAHAHAHA Anyway, twitter sucks now, so we're not going back there ever again. Dito na lang! I'm looking forward to rebuilding the BCU fandom back on here! Mwah, mwah labyu ol.

Waw. 40 pesos.
