Just wanna say that as a Southeast Asian I found Raya and the Last Dragon... very underwhelming. I've felt a LOT more represented in Avatar: The Last Airbender, Moana, Encanto, and Luca. And at least ATLA is inspired by multiple Asian cultures. THE REST AREN'T EVEN ASIAN.

Meet Sari Suminten, a shopkeeper who always craves love from every customer who stops by especially if you are a handsome man. But love never arrives, it seems that love prefers to order food or coffee at the next stall. Nevertheless, Sari does not give up easily in her adventure to find her true love in Kedai Kopi Pak Darmo.

Sari always appears in a tacky makeup and outfit, which I was inspired by the local girls we call "Cabe-cabean"

I just started playing Sims 2 recently, and yeah the game is more fun I guess. Big thanks to my friend @bayoubashsims for giving me one of his CC, which really helped me complete the Indonesian aesthetic in my game. Makasih buat gantungan minuman sachetnya👍🌺

and also a big thanks to @jacky93sims for converting @cepzid "Indonesian plate rack" into this game.

Mingun Pahtodawgyi, aka the largest pile of bricks in the world. An incomplete temple built on the slave labour of 20,000 POWs, what was once to be a 150 metre tall structure was halted when a death prophecy was fabricated to stop the superstitious king from generally fucking everybody over with the cash and suffering that would require.

The First Blade: Balaraw - Winged Dagger

I realize I haven't been explicit about it on here yet (mostly because I'm not the best at keeping all my social media profiles up to date), but I am involved in the development of a Tabletop Roleplaying Game It's called Gubat Banwa- a TTRPG based around tactical grid combat, contemplative war drama, and high-flying martial arts, all of which taking place in an unapologetically Southeast Asian-inspired fantasy setting, developed by @makapatag with art direction by @villain-returns. Initially I developed the script that is used in the gamebook and diegetically in the setting- called Kasuratan- but I'll talk about that elsewhere.

With the Kickstarter launch imminent, I thought I'd do a bunch of Twitter X threads on a bunch of weapons I've drawn for the game counting down the final week before the launch. Then I thought: "Why aren't I posting these on tumblr also, at least I wouldn't lose my mind over character counts over here"- so here we are. These were supposed to be posted as Swordtember drawings, but then the KS launch got moved to October. Most of these blades are of Philippine make, since that is where my knowledge-base is and what I'm comfortable enough to share knowledge about. I thought it'd be nice to share a bit of blade knowledge from some of the cultures that inspired the setting. Without further ado, let us begin with the BALARAW.

Also known as a "winged dagger", it is characterized by its unique shape, consisting of a short leaf-shaped blade driven with the tang out into a hilt with two distinct protrusions, creating three prongs on the back with the tang included.

(Photos from an exhibit at The Met)

They may be held at the hilt like a regular knife, or they may be held in a manner not too dissimilar from how our neighbors in Southeast Asia hold keris. One may imagine it like a "push dagger" for lack of other reference points. It might be likened to the katar as well, in some sense.

(Sketches by the Gubat Banwa Art Director himself) Nowadays, the blade is frequently attributed to the People of the Upstream- the Mandaya group of peoples- though they would have seen much wider use in their day, likely also spanning across what is now the Visayas region of the Philippines.

(Modern rendition by Panday Keiven Tolentino of Itak Mindoro, Photo by Ramon H. Bathan) Something I've noticed from looking at Philippine blades all the time is that symmetrical, double-edged blades like these are rare, here. Blades that lend themselves more to stabbing than anything else aren't very prevalent either, and blades that do not- at first glance- appear to be made with tool use/foliage clearing/farmwork in mind don't make up the majority of specimens. The balaraw is unique in several different respects, and any self-respecting warrior Kadungganan of Gubat Banwa's Sword Isles would do well to mind its bite. The weapon makes an appearance in Gubat Banwa in the hands of the Beast Hunter- one of the many Disciplines ("character classes") whose techniques your character can learn in-game.

The Gubat Banwa Kickstarter launches in 7 days! Check it out here:

We'd appreciate any and all help in getting the word out. Support an independent TTRPG made by a team from the global south, looking to make waves through a fantasy setting where the Southeast Asian inspirations takes center stage!
