I got to draw for @theknightswhosay's fic for @go-minisode-minibang! She wrote a beautiful story that blends pre-colonial Filipino mythology with the Good Omens universe. Read it here!
[Image Description: Fanart done for a "Good Omens" historical fanfic, set in pre-colonial Philippines. It is a realistic pencil sketch of Crowley sleeping, done by Aziraphale in his journal. Alt text provided and copied below the cut. End ID]
Continued Copied Alt Text
Crowley is curled up on his side, his long dark hair spilling over the pillow. He wears a traditional loincloth tied with a cord around the waist. His limbs and torso are tattooed with heavy lines and zig zag patterns.

Filipino poet and feminist critic Lilia Quindoza Santiago has pointed out that the word for grammatical gender in the Philippines is kasarian, and already it semantically affords a little more flexibility than its Western counterpart, which is clearly and hopelessly bifurcated. Sari, repeated in Tagalog-Filipino, is sari-sari, or "all and sundry". Thus, there may well be a kind of diversity to gender that may be allowed by certain if not most cultures in the Philippines.

Me, 8 years old and oblivious to the ways of the world: Mom, Ate Belin likes girls right? Is that because of where she lives?
My mom, probably desperately trying to think of how to explain stereotypes: Uhhhh no? Why would you think that?
8 year old me: Cuz she lives on Gay Street???
My mom: O_O
Me: °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°
#for context: we're Filipino and most of the gay people I met up to that point were from the Philippines bc we used to go every summer#“ate” means older sis/older female cousin#my older cousin Belin really does live on Gay Street and has lived there since before I was born#I love that house#I bring it up cuz my mom mentioned it to me recently#happy pride 🌈#pride

the thing about being from a place whose written history only began with colonialism is that it's like. i know you. i love you. you're in my very bones. but at the same time: who are you? who are you? who are you?
#route66#this is the difference btwn my filipino ancestry and indian ancestry#bc there's lots of rich documented indian history in writing & architecture & religion & food even if the british stole a fuckton of it#but the philippines is like. literally what was going on!!!!!! what was happening!!! tell me#but unearthing pre-colonial filipino history is essentially an archeological event

[ID: a screenshot of a reblog by @/fleurtygurl. It reads: "Omg instant follow! I need more Philippines facts in my life!!! 😭😭😭
If you have any facts about filipino myths? That would be amazing. But also I will literally eat up everything you post!
I'm in desperate need of reconnecting with my roots, but I've been so busy that I haven't had any time to do any extensive research...."
/End ID]
@fleurtygurl Decided to make a whole post based on this because I loooove talking about Filipino mythology and researching more about different mythologies within the country and I also hadn't gone around to looking through the things I want to learn about.
Filipino mythology is a pretty huge umbrella term considering that there are hundreds of cultures in the archipelago that have different beliefs, practices, and traditions and especially before the Spanish colonial period. I won't get too deep into it, but basically if you want to learn about some grander pantheon or some general overarching compendium of beliefs that all precolonial Filipinos believe in, you won't be getting that sine historically, Filipinos were not a unified people, but a bunch of different countries and communities that were placed under one governing body for easy management for the Spanish crown.
With so many Filipino cultures and, by extension, mythologies, the best way with trying to reconnect with your heritage, it might be best to figure out which ethnic group you may have connections too and start researching from there. In my case, for example, I would look up both Tagalog mythology, Bikolano mythology, and Ilokano mythology in order to get a good grasp of the mythology of my roots since I'm mixed Tagalog, Bikolano, and Ilokano, and those three have widely different beliefs and especially with folk religion.
I guess the main issue with this is a lot of sources related to Filipino myths are often difficult to find, are unreliable, or plainly just non-existent. Lots of books are often out of circulation and print, or if they are still in print, they are often only sold by specific retailers and often cost a lot of money. Research papers are locked behind a paywall or are only available through specific e-libraries you can only access if you have an affiliation with a university. Online articles may be unreliable and source places that are hard to fact check. Blogs, honestly including mine to be frank, may parrot wrong information from other websites and articles, with their best feature being the possibility that they may have come from oral sources but those are also very few.
Honestly, I was about to go on a long tangent about discussing at least the Tagalog pantheon and mythology because it had a lot of sources I've seen online, but after hours of research, I've found out that there was also a lot of unreliable sources in terms of information about that so I've decided against rambling on further about it for now.
(I am still going to write about my findings on the Tagalog pantheon later but after what I've found out, I might take some time to look through a lot more primary sources which means colonial era texts and harder to find archived works.)
I will say that a good way to connect with more general Filipino folklore outside of mythology itself is probably consuming media that explores folklore and traditional beliefs. I recommend Trese, a Filipino comic turned series on Netflix if you want to see Filipino cryptids being used in a modern-day story made by Filipinos. There are also other comics that focus on Filipino mythology like The Mythology Class and its sequel The Children of Bathala by Arnold Arre.
There's also series and movies that take inspiration from Filipino folklore and mythology with Dayo: Sa Mundo ng Elementalya (English name Niko: The Journey to Magika) as my go-to suggestion. I had also heard good reviews for Amaya, a series created by GMA 7, but honestly I don't think the series clicked with me.
#mayaposts#mayapino#fleurtygurl#filipino#philippines#filipino mythology#might make posts about specific filipino myths some other time because it's such a big umbrella of stories and legends#outside of the precolonial religion#sorry to make this post so long i'm a give me an inch i'll go a mile kinda person#long post
