Kubo Woodfired Kitchen Review (2022)
Kubo Woodfired Kitchen Review (2022)
Kubo, a restaurant inspired by the cuisine of the Philippines, has opened in Singapore Kubo Woodfired Kitchen Review (2022) is a proud one for me. What with my Filipino wife, 2.5 kids, house in Bohol, and so on. I love to be able to write about some of my favorite food on this planet because sometimes Filipino food gets tagged, incorrectly, as bland. It is far from it and Chef Sombero is pushing…

So, I know we all love the tiktoks of B. Dylan Hollis, king of retro recipes, whether good or bad, but he also has a YouTube channel where he goes much more in depth and in his most recent video, he's done a genuinely fascinating run through of a recipe named "Food for the Gods," from the earliest 1909 version he had, through a 1960s community cookbook recipe of the same name, and bouncing around modern Filipino recipes also going by that name that were very probably distant descendants of the older American recipes.
Like, honestly, his knowledge of food science and how to read older, very sparse recipes (which were geared towards cooks who were making EVERYTHING from scratch all the time) is amazing, and the recipe he winds up with after all of this (and which ultimately ended up in his soon-to-be-released cookbook) sounds truly amazing and deserving of the title of "Food for the Gods."

Hey bro I like your writing and I was wondering if you could give us some Mizu x Filipino!Reader hcs🥺👉👈 ̶(̶t̶o̶t̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶g̶o̶n̶n̶a̶ ̶u̶s̶e̶ ̶i̶t̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶p̶r̶o̶j̶e̶c̶t̶ ̶m̶y̶s̶e̶l̶f̶)̶
I have to make this poetic I'm so sorry but also making it modern!au and canon setting teehee (ALSO DOUBLE UPDATE?) slight nsfw ig!! mdni.
Tumblr media
canon divergent, just think of this is as that scene from Goyo where Remedios and Gregorio Pilar do a wholeass pining scene idk
Absolutely met you at some fancy ass noble party
You're a child of a wealthy Senor who's in great partnership with the Lords from the Commonwealth
Mizu's camping in and disguising herself in the party to find more intel on her next target and then she bumps into you
at first you're like very inquisitive of where she came from (considering that you view her as a man at this point), how she enjoys the party and what not
then you're suddenly like ik what you're doing. you're not from here.
Mizu's thrown off bc haha this is an international gathering of sorts and like ppl here are mostly foreign
you're like well its bc you're so obvious when it comes to occasions like this that I've already spotted you from a while back
and so youre like dancing and all and Mizu has no choice but to extract info from you
she reveals that shes looking for a white man, and that he may have connections here in the ph
and coincidence cuz you, who's also a part of the resistance, have been tracing the weapons provider of the spanish army.
so you guys work together. you give her intel, she helps you hunt down the provider and their little goons
it kind of starts like an enemies to lovers .... kind of a forced situation where Mizu has to deal with the resistance in order to get to what she wants but rlly theres no other way around
falls in love w your love for your country
despite your privileged upbringing, you're deeply interconnected with your roots, and have been fighting for the filipino people
you guys fight over the simplest of things, like how she doesnt wear things right or holds weapons correctly
you definitely bond over weaponry though and its history. the first time you've seen her katana, you were so amazed. in return, you showed her a kampilan—a sword carved and forged by your grandfather. she had so many questions.
yeahh overall i think what pulled you together was your shared anger and desperation for justice. No matter the situation, whether it be a resistance against oppression or looking for the man that caused a hellscape within your life, y'all resonated with the emotions and trauma that came with that.
BEST BELIEVE THE SEX WAS GOOD and rough and yes hbejawhejehe mhm
anys thats all. you're like PARA SA PILIPINAS and shes on her knees.
Tumblr media
modern au hehe
met through int sch program. mizu is a transferee from japan who joined their uni's international program and got linked w ur sch
she was in one of ur classes and like yeah, she was nearest to u so she had no choice but to ask u for sch stuff
YOU THOUGHT SHE WAS PRETTY CUTE but like u wanted a good impression so u tried to help her as much as u could
even gave her a tour of the campus
showed her a few iconic eating places that she could go to jic her budget was on a limit or wanted good filo food
you wanted to expose her to the culture as slowly as u could just so that she could adapt and pace herself
definitely stuck by your side since then
you learned that she's going to study here for 3 years before going back to japan for her masters, and you're like wow thats so cool and shes like thanks
definitely a gamer
you guys hang out at one of the comp shops nearby (IF NAGAARAL KAYO SA TAFT .... guys suki ako don HAHAHA)
loves learning abt history, esp filipino craftsmanship
you definitely treat her to various street foods
mizu : what's this
you : we call it kwek kwek, but u can call it neon balls
mizu: neon balls????
showed and taught her how public transpo works once, and she gets a hang of it a week later
knows her way around manila than you do (author is projecting mb)
knows basic filo words when navigating. you teach her the slang.
basically friends to lovers guys omg, ayon sana all eme
you do that lips thing where you point w ur lips and at first, she was so confused (this is during your relationship)
she thought you were asking for a kiss and she kissed u and you were like ?!@!?@??$?
mizu: ha
you: I WAS ASKING FOR THE,ASd MUGWTF
mizu: ahhh my bad haha
walks u to class teehee
hangs around in empty class rooms esp comp labs and you guys watch movies there
momol sa dorm, momol sa clasroom na madilim, momol sa may agno charot
MOMOL = MAKE OUT MAKE OUT LANG
revels in simple pda like linking ur pinkies together, thigh against thigh when seating, and just yk so landi. landi niyo.
you have her id pic on the back of ur id and she yours on her clear phonecase
EWWWW GAY PPL (affectionate)
unintentionally matching
loves gifting u jewelry esp necklaces (likes to see it when u guys are in the bedroom, splayed on your chest and just yk decorating your collarbones so nicely)
holds your hand and helps you cross the street omf
pays for ur commute fee when riding the jeepney
memorizes ur kwek kwek and fishball sauce combination
loves exchanging one shoe w u for funsies
loves taking pics w u w the cats on campus
OVERALL A CUTIE TEEHEE!

The Lords In Black (and Webby) as desserts/snacks!
Except it’s all Filipino food
Wiggly - Buko Pandan Salad
Tumblr media
- I know that it doesn’t SOUND like a dessert, but trust me it is
- Buko Pandan is a popular flavor in the Philippines, it’s pretty much like young coconut
- Buko Pandan salad has a bunch of accordingly flavored stuff in it like gelatin, shredded coconut, etc
- A bunch of different textures that I think is very Wiggly
- Also the greenest colored dessert I think I’ve ever eaten
Blinky - Ube Leche Flan Cake
Tumblr media
- I mean, the color scheme is pretty spot on
- It’s a sweet purple yam cake paired with a rich caramel custard
- Like Buko Pandan, Ube is a veryyy popular flavor
- This is a more modern dessert which I think is fitting tbh
Tinky - Chicharon
Tumblr media
- Unlike the other sweets on this list, this one is savory
- It stands out just as much as Tinky does
- Chicharon is essentially just fried pork rinds
- Odd to some, sure, but it’s actually pretty good
Nibbly - Potchi
Tumblr media
- I used to munch on these a lot when I was younger, and honestly Nibbly would eat them by the handful
- A bitch to unwrap, though
- It’s a sweet, pink little thing that makes you wonder if you’ll ever find two in the same wrapper
- You won’t
Pokey - Halo Halo
Tumblr media
- It sure ain’t blue, but it can get hella dramatic
- Just like Pokey!
- There’s a dozen different toppings you’ll find in this, but typically there’ll be ice cream, evaporated milk, and ice that you’ll have to mix up
- You get something pretty and you walk away with flavored slush
- Just like the apotheosis!
Webby - Taho
Tumblr media
- Taho is very simple, just silken tofu with brown sugar syrup and tapioca pearls
- Another childhood favorite of mine
- It’s warm, it’s sweet, it’s Webby
- Not hard to come by when you’re in the Philippines either

How @yellowocaballero and I Fixed Daredevil by Headcannoning Him as Mexican
When Daredevil first appeared in 1964, he was a second-generation Irish-American from Hell’s Kitchen, a working-class Irish-immigrant neighborhood. In a time where Irish people weren’t viewed as “white” or “real Americas.” They were a part of the oppressed working class, the bottom of the food chain, who had nothing but their religion, the vehicle of their culture from the old world, to keep them together.
Note: Today, the argument that “Irish people aren’t really white” has been co-opted by white supremacists and has often been used in bad faith against POC. I want it to be clear that what is considered “white” is and has always been a political term with no backing in science. Discrimination against the Irish back in the day was tied to anti-Catholic sentiment in predominately Protestant states, such as England, Scotland, and the United States. Naturally, Anti-Catholic discrimination overlaps with nativist, xenophobic, ethnocentric and/or racist sentiments (ie Anti-Italian, Anti-Polish, Hispanicphonia).
Jack Murdock was a poor boxer with no education or prospects who had to exploit his body to provide for Matt. And recognized that not a way to live and thrive, so he pushed Matt into academics for social mobility. Sound familiar?
Tumblr media
At its core, the story of Matt Murdock is an immigrant story. Matt has the immigrant mentality;  immigrants-get-the-job-done type of thing. Gotta hustle and became a lawyer because that’s how he moves up the social and class ladder. And when he does “make it” he chooses to stay and help his neighborhood because he has a cultural connection to it. 
This worked in 1964, I don’t know how much it works now.  
Hell Kitchen isn’t a rough neighborhood primarily occupied by working-class immigrants, it’s another gentrified hipster hellhole. Irish people and people of Irish ancestry in the United States no long face systemic discrimination. 
Therefore, modern-day recontextualizing is to make Matt Mexican. 
Technically, Matt can also be from any other Latin American country or Filipino but I lean towards Mexican since a) this is my post go make your own and b) we get the most discrimination from the mainstream media. Yes, a lot of it is because racists use “Mexican” as a catch-all term for anyone from Latin America but still. Trump made his presidential platform by calling Mexicans illegal rapists and druggies. 
If Matt was actually the son of Jack Murdock*, an undocumented brown immigrant living in a working-class immigrant/POC neighborhood, it gives him the underdog immigrant arc the character is missing in modern-day adaptations. Matt's core is still the same Matt we know and love, he’s still the son of a boxer, whose dad’s pushed him into succeeding academically, who lost his dad to gang violence, and who is extremely Catholic. Someone who wants to fit into middle-class educated (white) society and feels like he has to suppress the "devil" inside until one day he can’t. He's seeing discrimination and poverty and crime and gentrification tear his neighborhood apart and the police turn their back on it since it's predominantly POC. The law has failed them, he's not going to fail them too. 
Meg made the fantastic point that Matt should still be white-passing (and ginger) so he could exist somewhere in between worlds.  And Matt takes advantage of that, as well as his Columbia Law degree to help his community. Matt not using his conditional whiteness and the fancy degree to “escape” his community and instead help it.

Could you do one about a honeymoon with gavi; just fluff
Honeymoon Bliss -P.G
Summary: After a wedding there's the honeymoon
Tumblr media
“Señor y Señora Páez”
You were it. You officialy were la Señora Páez. You were married to the love of your life, Pablo.
With only 24hrs of marriage you knew you’d never get tired of being called by your new last name and it was even better hearing it fall from your, now, husband’s lips, introducing you as his wife to everyone.
You smiled again, walking side by side, hand in hand with Pablo as you both admired the beautiful Palawan, already making up plans to explore the whole Isle and it’s beauty while you guys were given a little tour from one of the guide of the hotel you were gonna stay in for a whole two weeks.
“Your suite” The man said with a loving smile, letting you both in
“Oh god” You let out admiring the beauty of it.
It had a top to bottom corridor glass door, which gave you the perfect view of the sea and the sand combined with some trees and nature. The room itself was big and modern with some wood furniture around; it had one big bathroom with a combination of white and brown colored tiles, TV, couch, a table for you both to eat outside and other inside, the bed was extremely big and perfectly done.
In one of the bedside table there was a small bouquet of flowers and some balloons that read ‘Newlyweds’ along with your wedding date and initials. So simple and yet so gorgeous. It was already the perfect place and perfect honeymoon you could ever imagine.
You smiled pointing the little fact to Pablo who smiled, kissing your cheek.
“Welcome and congratulations” The man said with a smile after finishing the little tour “Please, contact me or any of the staff members if you ever need anything”
“Muchas gracias” Pablo said nodding looking around “I think we’ll be good for now, though” He pulled you closer to him, pecking your lips
The man nodded smiling and left you alone in your suite. You hugged Pablo and kissed his left shoulder
“Thank you” You said softly with a smile
“You don’t need to thank me, amor” Pablo smiled back at you “You deserve it, I deserve it, we deserve it. It’s our time” He spoke softly looking directly into your eyes “Wanna lay down for a bit? We have been going around since we woke up, sleeping in an airplane isn’t the best thing and yesterday we didn’t batted a single eye” You smiled remembering the last night events
After the long lasting party, you went directly into your room and declared your love for each other for the first time as husband and wife. It was a bit rushed, full of excitement but still filled with love and passion, today, for a whole two weeks and for the rest of your lives, you had all the time for yourselves.
You took a deep breath, grabbing his hands that were at your waist and guiding him towards the bed with you, humming “Yes, we can sleep in for a while” You agree nodding, you turned you both around and pushed him into the bed, straddling him “But we’re not leaving this bed today” Pablo’s hands were at your waist and instantly smiled
“You read my mind, preciosa”  
… ... ...
It had been one week and five days since you’ve been here in your honeymoon and it was the best one weeks and five days of your life. Being close to your husband, spending time with him with zero stress and work, no social media and just being normal; you even joked that Pablo hasn’t furrowed his eyebrows ever since you both got here, of course he had to deny it.
“Yes, I have”
“Liar”
“I literally just did when that hijoe’puta was checking you out”
You had laughed hard at that before reassuring him, he was the only one you were interested in and pay him attention to.
There weren’t enough words to describe how wonderful everything was, both of you getting to know the Isle, the Filipino’s culture, a bit of their language and even their food that you’d definitely try to do back at home.
“I wish we could stay here for the rest of our lives” You said softly not wanting to interrupt the quiet atmosphere between the two of you. After a whole day swimming, being on a boat, walking around you decided it would be good to eat outside, your reasons leveled up when the tour guide mentioned a fire and cultural dance.
After eating the delicious dinner, you both headed towards the fire, watching the Filipino’s dance whilst also watching the beautiful surroundings.
“Sí, sería muy lindo” You heard Pablo speak into your jaw, leaving kisses there “We can if you want to” You hummed lightly leaning more into him.
“Tempting” You smiled and stayed in silence for a few seconds “But we love Barcelona way too much” Both of you laughed lightly
“Even if you don’t know how to speak Catalan properly?”
“Shhhh” You put your hand on top of his face feeling him laugh “Don’t say it too loudly, it’s my secret” He grabbed your hand and took it away from his face “I can understand it tho”
“¿Estás segura?”
“Cállate” He laughed
“I’m so fucking glad you married me” He spoke, hands caressing yours
 “Well… I didn’t had much of a choice, you know?” He squeezed you a bit letting out an ‘Oye’ “I’m kidding, I’m kidding” You giggled “I’m glad you married me too. I love it. I love you and I love us, I also love the fact we’re slowly progressing in our relationship, our lives together” You spoke turning around enough to face him
“I love it too” He said “Soy jodidamente suertudo en tenerte” You smiled “I’m lucky for you to choose me to be yours and I’m lucky that you to accept be mine, to be your husband, your life partner and your everything for the rest of our lives. You don’t have any idea of how much I love you and feel about you” You felt a few tears swell up to your eyes
“I do have an idea” You whispered “Because I feel the same way”

HII CAN I REQUEST NOIR X FILIPINO READER
HOLY FUCKING SHIT YES PO MAHAL KONG ANON <333 i'll make this like the previous x filipino readers, but if you babes want, i could even try making a whole ass fic about it :DD
(btw this'll be in the same time period as noir, 1930's, so if you want modern hcs too just hmu <3)
okokok now, hear me out...
he wears barong tagalogs more often around you. like, okay, if we're talking about 1930's philippines, i think he'd FUCKING DIE OF HEATSTROKE IN THAT DARK OVERCOAT AND FEDORA MATCHUP OK, he wears barong tagalogs instead bc they're light, airier, and ofc, to respect your culture :>
he was surprised to hear how well the people speak english, bc if i remember correctly, a lot of filipinos were taught how to speak english before tagalog, even in that time period. if you weren't that well-versed in english, NO PROBLEM, HE WOULD GLADLY SPEND HOURS OF HIS TIME READING, WRITING, AND LISTENING TO, AND PRACTICING TAGALOG AND/OR YOUR LOCAL DIALECT FOR YOU <333
he was a little iffy about the foods at first, like specifically dinuguan when he heard it was from pig's blood, but he came to like the colorfulness of filipino dishes and how good they really are the moment he tried them.
why do i think his favorites would be BOTH sinigang AND adobo? like if he was asked which one he liked better, he'd just go silent and say, "...well neither are purple so i think both are good options," LIKE HE DON'T BELIEVE IN FEUDING OVER THEM, BOTH ARE GOOD AS FUCK
oh and when he courts you............ WHEN HE COURTS YOUUUUU, he fr going up to the nearest manong and asking how to play a simple love song as he sneaks glances at you by your window, gazing out but not at him, the blush creeping up on his cheeks and up to the tips of his ears, LIKEEEEE
he'd spend days practicing how to harana you, HE'D HIRE A WHOLE ASS BAND FOR YOU IF YOU WANTED A GRAND, BIG GESTURE OF LOVE, but even on his own, he is AMAZING at singing and playing the guitar (you cannot take this headcanon away from me, he can play.)
and when the carinosa comes on at a party or a gathering you two are at, HE WASTES NO TIME IN EXTENDING HIS HAND TOWARDS YOU AND ASKING YOU IF YOU WANNA DANCE
"aking pinakaminamahal... maari bang isayaw kita ngayong gabi?" (shit sana tama grammar ko SORRY PERO YOU GET IT)
AND WHEN HE'S MOVING CLOSER AND CLOSER TO YOU BUT NOT HOLDING YOU YET DURING THE DANCE, HIS SMILE GETS WIDER, YOU NOTICE HE HAS DIMPLESSS
the way the corners of his lips curls when he smiles as he sneaks glances at you, wishing he could hold you as he courts you through dance, the way he blushes and how his eyes shine when he stares into yours, THE DORKY CHUCKLES HE LETS OUT AS HE WATCHES YOU TEASE HIM WITH THE FAN MOVEMENTS >>>>>
then afterwards, he takes you in his arms, holds you close, and asks you, "ano, mahal, ayos ba?" he asks with a slight accent as he blushes a bright red, hoping to kiss you right here, right now, to declare to your family and friends how much he loves you and wants to be yours
a/n: tangina binalikan ko pa mga carinosa steps BWHAHAAHA PERO KICKING MY FEET, GIGGLING, TWIRLING MY HAIR, SCREAMING I LOVE HIM <333

When they take you out for street food~!
— ❝ So, what would you like? Everything's on me. ❞
— Genshin Men x Gn!Reader (Modern!Highschool!AU)
— characters: Kazuha, Diluc, Childe, Thoma,
— Synopsis. Genshin boys take you out for street food (specifically well-known street foods in my country ifykyk) after a long day of school.
— Disclaimer. the place the hcs are happening are in the Philippines (ik a huge percentage of y'all are not Filipino but I included all the meanings), NOT PROOFREAD!!
— author's notes: please... I can't finish my other 3 drafts for the life of me. like, the themes I'm writing are so plain and overused imo
𖥻 — Kaedehara Kazuha ࣪˖ !¡
Tumblr media
You didn't knew it at first glance, but Kazuha is very fond of street foods.
"You should really try this out, it's one of my favorites," Kazuha said as he raises a piece of fishball near your mouth.
He watches the way your face lightens up from the foreign taste as he flashes a quick smile.
When you can't choose what you'd like to taste, he helps you out and explains each and everyone...but since he's also into literature, he adds a bit of a twist.
"This is isaw, it's a well-known street food that is basically made up of chicken intestines. I know it's not the dish non-locals would exactly become fond of considering its main course, but it goes good with some sweet sauce." Kazuha explains as he buys one from the vendor.
You said you'd be glad to try it and for Kazuha, this made him crack up a little smile. As you take a bite of the dish, Kazuha adds in a little more 'trivia'.
"You know, I'd like to think of this as a dish that you can't finish on your own".
"And why is that?" you respond.
"Because, the way they cook it is in one long part of the chicken's intestine, that has two ends. And this other end right here—" he points to the end that's riding up the stick as you munch in.
"This other end is for me of course."
He removes it from the stick and was now facing you closely as the chicken intestine was connected to your end. He perks up your chin and goes in to give you a quick peck on the lips.
You eventually scoff, as you eat the remaining food all while displaying a red tint on your cheeks.
This man can be bold and WILL be bold when you least expect it. And in the realm of holy street foods, he can easily catch you off-guard. (He definitely read this from a romance novel and decided to recreate it with you)
But nevertheless, he enjoys your flustered and confused face (a confused face of whether or not you should feel happy for the food or flushed by his sudden flirtiness) as you continue enjoying the food he bought for you.
𖥻 — Diluc Ragnvindr ࣪˖ !¡
Tumblr media
His favorite street food would be strawberry taho (reminds me of his hair) Strawberry Taho is a famous delicacy in Baguio City. It's a soybean curd with strawberry sauce/syrup and sometimes added with little boba balls.
The man would spoil you LOTS. Aside from the group of fangirls that'll surround you guys every time you and he get out of school, he treats you to street food whenever you crave it, or when exams have just finished and you're drained from thinking.
"Here, take a bite of this strawberry taho", Diluc breaks the silence as he feeds you a spoonful of the soya-bean curd.
You flinch at the sudden voice of Diluc as your mouth was filled with the taste of sweet strawberry and softened soya beans. Diluc swore that your eyes glistened by the taste for a second as he pats your hair that revealed your sunkissed face.
"Don't think of it as much, I just thought you needed to take a break from spacing out." Diluc retorts as he nudged your head with his index finger. You tried doing it to him back but failed to realize each other's height difference.
Diluc does not have a big appetite even though the portions of street food are quite small. He can't finish it all by himself. So whenever he's got leftover street food, he gives it to you. Sometimes, he'd feed it to you and you like the latter very much as you can sometimes sneak in a kiss on his cheek.
But whenever YOU can't finish your food, you always feed it to Diluc knowing that he's the type to be easily full. I can say that Diluc suffers more from this than him feeding you. As you find it entertaining whenever he's about to bite in on your leftover food, you quickly retract it away from him. You can see his serious and grim expression but in the end, he's got his arm wrapped around your waist; not wanting to let you go. (The man enjoys your little teasing, even though he doesn't wanna admit it)

He'd probably order chicken waffles AKA Kwek-kwek(Tokneneng). It is a popular Filipino street food, kwek-kwek are hard-boiled quail eggs dipped in a bright orange batter, then deep-fried.
This guy is the definition of conyo. Conyo is someone (mostly boys) that mixes the english and filipino language to their way of speaking. Most people think that these type of people are snobby and spoiled.
The vendor probably won't understand him clearly since the vendor isn't fluent in english.
You don't feel embarrassed (since you're used to it) but to not give Childe menacing stares, you teach him the right terms in the native language as well as the right honorific to use.
Of course, he'll spoil the hell out of you.
Ajax (unlike Kazuha) is a cheesy version of a romantic partner. If Kazuha can flatter you, this guy can make you wish he wasn't with you.
"Hey (Name), I think this may be cheesy but I think we'd make a grate pair."
At times like these, you just try your best to get through it by either:
A. stuffing his mouth up with food to shut him up
B. deeply cringing inside, hoping that no one else heard that but you

The vendor himself.
Mans would probably give you what you wanna eat without a single price tag.
People would literally swoon over the vendor himself feeding his customer (AKA you)
But who can complain? it is Thoma afterall.
"Would you like some sweet sauce with that?" Thoma asks you, resting his arm on the steel counter as he looks at you with a smile creeping up to his cheeks.
He knew that you were messing with his part-time job and he just couldn't contain your "cluelessness" as if he doesn't come into your arms for a tight hug after a long day.
"I'd like it if you were gonna kiss me instead, then it'd be more sweeter." You tell yourself but you know that you could never surpass Thoma's pair of ears.
"Ah...(Name), I-I mean right now? Don't you think it's u-uhm."
You look at him with a smirk gliding across your satisfied face with the warm sensation of the stir-fried noodles he made you.
Thoma looks at you begrudgingly before tearing away from your gaze as he went to serve for the other customers in line behind you.
But in the sweeping gales of the wind, you found your lips connected to Thomas' with his hands gently cupping your jaw. "Wait for me after my shift, I can't have you being lost when you're commuting, no?"

Another Get To Know Me Game!
Tagged by @windsweptinred, this was so much fun to do! Love seeing a new version
Who was your first fictional crush?:
Hmmmm, instinct says Tuxedo Mask! I'm sure I had other fictional crushes but that's the one I most vividly remember. That and Xanatos from Gargoyles djdoaisjdoaij.
What’s the first colour you think of when I tell you to think of a colour?:
Purple!
Which fanfiction emotionally scarred you and still makes you shudder to this day?:
Oh there's...a few lmao. I have a tendency to read fics that horrify me for fun, and since we're on the webbed site that likes to judge people for using the Dead Dove tag, or any of the main Archive Warning tags, I'd rather not put those fics on blast. But I have read some truly brilliantly written and fucked up fics from the Fantastic Beasts fandom, that's all I'll say.
I’m coming to your house for dinner, non-negotiable, what are you making me?:
Japanese curry with chicken! That or Fettucine Alfredo. I like to overstuff my guests with food and those are my two go to meals for company!
Do you prefer lions or kangaroos?:
Lions! I love kangaroos too, but my love for cats, especially big cats, prevails.
Which fictional villain do you brush past the glaringly obvious issues for because you really like them?:
Uhhhh....almost all of them??? jkjkjk
In all seriousness though, I think my big ones I can think of are Shigaraki and Dabi from BNHA. Are they both awful, ruthless people who only want to cause pain and suffering to all who have hurt them? Yes. Do I want them to keep causing even more pain and suffering, even to my favorite hero characters, as a treat? Also yes.
I hate to caveat that in no way do I think any of of their actions are justified and that the villains should win and then the world would be a better place yada yada yada but well. Woobifying villains is a thing and also why I stay out of the fandom because I cannot stand my faves being defanged like that. Let my faves be horrible people aoijdosijad.
What would accompany your picture in the Burn Book in Mean Girls?:
Either the "Mexican Asian" (I'm Filipino-American, and sadly this is a thing I was called a lot lmao) or "The Hugger." I know a shit ton of people judged me a bit in school for being a hugger because...idk, people thought hugs were weird lmao. But joke's on them, I still enjoy hugs and Mr. Seiya hugs me all the time!
How many days would you last in the universe of your favourite fandom?:
Uhhhhhh considering no one really dies in Pokemon...I'd be fine lmao.
In Sandman???? Also would probably be fine since I'm based in the States and also many many miles away from the Corinthian's hunting grounds 🤣
Have you heard of Mischief Theatre?:
Only the name :(
Do you feel sorry for Medusa?:
Yes and no. I do feel bad the foundation of her story was be a woman killed for the glory of a man. And then to be remembered only as a horror, a monster to scare people with.
The modern interpretation of her story is absolutely fascinating to me and while it is still a tragic story, I absolutely love what she's come to represent. I love that her story has been rewritten to be a story of survival, of perseverance, of power even.
Which song makes you think of your OTP?:
Ooooooh there's so many! And of course now that I'm being put on the spot I can't think of any 🤣🤣
Starlight by Muse is definitely a Dreamling song to me, so much so that I wrote a fic with the lyrics in the title, so I'm going to roll with that one!
Which song makes you disassociate and daydream the fastest?:
Oh lord, honestly any Taylor Swift song will do this to me lmao. Lately, I've been drifting back to Would've, Could've, Should've, so we're going to go with that one!
No pressure tagging: @tj-dragonblade @bazzybelle @verminetroglodyte @tryan-a-bex @4typercent and anyone else who wants to play!

Funfact: Wallwynn and the twins' favorite food or dessert is mango float. If you don't know what it is: Mango float or crema de mangga is a Filipino icebox cake dessert made with layers of ladyfingers (broas) or graham crackers, whipped cream, condensed milk, and ripe carabao mangoes. It is chilled for a few hours before serving, though it can also be frozen to give it an ice cream-like consistency. It is a modern variant of the traditional Filipino crema de fruta cake. It is also known by various other names like mango refrigerator cake, mango graham float, mango royale, and mango icebox cake, among others.
