I'm scripting for an El Fili trailer for a school project and oh my god Placido Penitente makes me so feral I want to put him in a blender in the most /aff way possible.

And about Placido... FRRRRR MOST IK RLLY LOVES HIM HES SO SILLY🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️ welcome to the club m8

Okay okay... el fili/noli ocs????🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️

Anon here again! Oh my god I am so sorry but I just picked up my rented copy of El Fili again and... why did they make Simoun a whole dilf(/no sexual intent I just can't find other ways to describe the vibes???). Istg if Simoun was in an anime or something, Tumblr would have given him Tumblr sexyman treatment. He has what it takes I think??? I mean, he ticks the boxes. Educated rich guy who wants to bring down the government? The angst? Tumblr would be PUMPING OUT Simoun content if they KNEW. 😭😭😭

Tbh what ive been sayin like😭😭🙏 thats the mission i currently have.. if school gave me Simoun brainrot might as well be insufferable about it at ipalaganap HAHAHAHAHHAHA i acc fell in love with the character when i first watched "Maria Clara at Ibarra" when i was in 9th grade/last yr.. hes so interesting to play with idk..

And tumblr should PUMP CONTENT ABT HIM ASAP or i die of dehydration.. to play with his pathetic heavy emotion driven impulsive goal... bet Rizal was kicking his feet n' shi/j hes such a genius

This is prev anon btw! OMG BSD ENJOYER??? Hi??? Not to be a weirdo on main but 🥺🥺🥺

Re: surviving off of tiny fandom crumbs

Go to your online friends and start rambling about El Fili/Noli to them no matter what nationality they have. Trust. I've successfully gotten my Hunger Games Discord groupchat to consider reading Noli just for the tinola. ^^

Hot take: Paulita x Isagani is underrated and compelling as hell

I love tragedies. I love ships that are not canon because of narrative reasons. Paulita and Isagani is one of those ships I love but are not meant to be. Rizal placed the two lovers as opposites as seen in Chapter 24 of El Fili called "Dreams". If Isagani is patriotic and optimistic, Paulita is pessimistic and selfish. Paulita is manipulative and cunning while Isagani is straightforward and upright. Isagani promised a Philippines just like the more progressive European cities while Paulita highly thinks of it as poppycock. The chapter demonstrates the bad sides of their relationship. Isagani ignored the warning signs of the love fading for Paulita plans to marry the more eligible Juanito Pelaez.

Paulita is an orphan raised in a life of materialism and luxury by Donya Victorina. Isagani is also an orphan raised by the progressive Indio priest, Padre Florentino. Their upbringing informs their character and values. They are almost polar opposites yet they're together. I speculate what attracted Paulita to Isagani were the poems he wrote for her. Isagani showered her with the attention she was spoiled with as a child. I'm not exactly sure what attracted Isagani to Paulita in the first place but I think it was because she is the beauty of the town. For Isagani's side it could most likely be an infatuation at first sight. From that point on, he was devoted to her as he turned a blind eye to her flaws.

They were each other's first love. It was a beautiful cracked first love while it lasted. But if love is a choice, Paulita chose not to love him while Isagani chose to love her anyway.

When Isagani was arrested without due process, Paulita was quick to leave him and marry Juanito instead. She left him because she saw him as nothing more than an accessory to flatter herself. He was disposable.

The couple elevated to my OTP for El Fili during the lamp scene. Paulita just married Juanito, leaving Isagani in the dust. Simoun is planning to bomb the wedding with the nitroglycerin lamp he gifted to the newly wed couple. The lamp will bomb in a few moments because of said nitroglycerin just as Simoun intended. Isagani, upon learning of the lamp, storms into the wedding and steals the lamp. He loves Paulita that much, he is willing to save her even if she betrayed him. The guests were shocked when the lamp bombed in the river instead, saving Paulita and all thanks to our loverboy, Isagani.

I remember being captivated by the scene. I thought that Paulita was blind to Isagani. Then I later realized Isagani was blind to Paulita's bad side. Isagani's blind devotion to Paulita represents his devotion to his country which influenced his passion and optimism just like Simoun's devotion to Maria Clara which influenced his rage and passion once he learned she died.

A good tragedy makes you wish for something hopeful. I hoped Paulita opened her eyes to Isagani. I hoped Isagani called her out on her bitchiness. I wished the couple worked out but I understand why they didn't work. And I'm satisfied with the reality.
