part of liking elibarra is acknowledging the uncomfortable truth that they would never work out in their universe. not just bc of the obvious real world implications but bc they simply clash too much. ibarra may try to look past that (as seen in him inviting elias to run away with him abroad) but elias knows its simply not possible. they are worlds apart.
ibarra has caused elias so much pain, even if he had no intention of doing so. he hurt him by being part of the eibarramendia family, by thriving at his family's expense. he hurts him by being dismissive of his pleads for reform, by siding with his oppressors, by chiding those who he deems below him- people that are just like elias, reduced to criminals. and he will hurt him again by being capable of change, by being someone worth saving. if ibarra continues down the path of violent retribution, he will hurt the many eliases of the country. elias knows this, and jumps off the boat anyway.
ibarra will hurt elias again and again and again. but elias will always choose to save him. because it's the right thing to do. because he has a real chance at sparking the revolution, even if their ideas of how it should happen differ massively. because unlike elias, ibarra was not made to suffer.
what im saying is jose rizal was a pioneer of toxic doomed yaoi

thinking about it, what if Simoun's plan did succeed? So what, now the wedding is bombed. The friars are dead, the government in shambles, and the richest reduced to nothing. What then?
Basilio seemed horrified of even letting them die in the first place, would have he even rallied the people to Tales' location or would he have just fled away?
And even if Basilio had succeeded, what was Ibarra's plans for the new country? All he talked about was getting revenge on those who wronged him, never about anyway to change it. He talked about watering the land with their blood but never bothered to mention what seeds he would plan.

Thinking about my Rizal prof earlier saying, "I dream of the day we no longer have to relate to Noli and El Fili" because honestly, it feels like nothing has changed, only having a different packaging. Change the names and descriptions, change the time, it still feels the same to be honest

You all ever think of what would've happened if Isagani wasn't SO hopelessly in love with Paulita?? Would he still be alive? Would he still be staring at her from afar on that street? Would he still rush in to get the lamp? So many questions, no answers cause it never happened

elibarra comic with 19k likes on twitter LETS GOO ELIBARRA NATION!!! this just reactivated something dormant in my brain
you guys dont get how important elibarra is to me personally. filipino has consistently been my lowest subject since elementary and i rarely ever spoke tagalog (typical 'englishera' lol got teased for it relentlessly). you know what sparked my love for the language??? fucking elibarra . OF ALL THINGS .
i got so invested in them that i started to seriously learn and speak my native tongue because i wanted to fully analyze their interactions. i wanted to have enough knowledge to be able to compare the filipino texts to their english translations, to see if there was any nuance lost (or gained) in their conversations with each other. i hunted down every translation i could find of the boat scene and when i found the one that translated one of the lines to "because you are not made to suffer" i went batshit insane. i had all of their scenes together (and all of the elias scenes bc i love him) fully tabbed and annotated, highlights and side comments and everything. read my first fic written in tagalog because i desperately needed more of them.
got my highest grade in filipino in grade 9 and have since gotten better at speaking the language both formally and casually. from there, i learned to love the overall history and culture because it stopped feeling like a chore. because thats what elias wouldve wanted for me!!!
tldr doomed yaoi so good it sparked a personal revolution within me
now we wait for the annual boost in popularity whenever the grade 9/10s reach their 3rd and 4th quarter. noli me tangere is an incredible book you guys!! if focusing on elibarra is what it takes for yall to lock tf in and really get into it (like i did) then do it! you'll eventually learn to appreciate what jose rizal had to say in the story (and that he really Really loves elias LMAO)

LAGPAS TRAHEDYA AU
Tumblr media
Elias and Crisostomo having family time with their children Amorccia and Indang under the afternoon sun, circa 1889.
AU CONTEXT
- after Crisostomo had been excommunicated and had been sent a message that he should forget Maria Clara, he takes the offer to live with Elias in a secluded village near Ilog Pasig.
- Elias had forgotten to tell his husband señor about something important, he had adopted two girls two years ago from that village.
- Although surprised, Crisostomo had quickly learned and accepted the girls, unintentionally turning them into a family
- Crisostomo moved his project of building a school to this village, wherein he worked there as the head teacher
- Elias works as a fisherman, able to haul a profit and food on the table. He sometimes takes Crisostomo and his daughters on boat rides throughout Ilog Pasig (y'know, like a rural family outing)
- ang daming nagchichismis sa kanila dahil masyado silang ✨sinaunang bading✨ behavior, charot 🤭

she would visit Tandang Tasyo for his teachings in philosophy
sports aren't to her liking since her body is kinda weak
considered to be the next generation Clarita because of her beauty
likes her clothes to be simple and formal, and doesn't want it to be excessive in design
the illegitimate daughter of a Spanish count, of whom had left Las Filipinas way before her mother even told him she was pregnant with his child
despite her quiet nature, she hears and knows alot about her environment, able to understand the issues that surrounds her
Juanita Indang Ibarra y Katamtaman
13 years old
the older sister of Amorccia
would rather be called as Indang
a hardworking girl
likes to tend the crops and fishing
an animal person
a loudmouth, she knows about this and tries to tone it down

she doesn't know how write or speak English, she can only understand it
she excels in Spanish, courtesy of her ama, Crisostomo
can do physical activities more than her sister
knows a whole lot of stuff about agriculture and animals
got her name Katamtaman because she likes her outfit to be "katamtaman" back when she was young
her family knows that she means "presko" or comfortable but they still joke about it every now and then
very humble and has very blunt honesty
once someone wrongs her when she knows she's in the right, she will clap back
she holds great disdain on the padres that roam the church, finding it blasphemous that they are soiling the house of God
a daughter born from rape between her mother and a padre, hence her great hatred on them
