I wonder how MCU Strange would address his idiocy in telling Wanda her kids weren't real now that both children exist with complete soul in actual human bodies with memories, even partial, of the life they used to live with Wanda and Vision... it pisses me off so much, but also makes sense for Strange's egotistical and know-it-all personality.

Those deaths in Kamar-Taj were partially on him.

Natatawa ako dun sa bagong interview ni Karen Davila kay Regine Velasquez. Iha-hype siya ni Karen, tas si Regine laging humble.

Paligsahan sila ng ang nagmamataas ay ibinababa at ang nagpapakumbaba ay itinataas 😂

Ate Gay doing a living funeral... as sad and morbid as it is, I get her. This is the kind of funeral I want to get as well.

Ate Gay was diagnosed with Stage 4 Cancer last year.

Mga pangarap kong guest judge sa Drag Race PH:

Jose Manalo at Wally Bayola for Snatch Game (para makumpleto ang tatlong lola ni Yaya Dub)

Christian Bables and Martin Del Rosario (parehas na gumanap na Barbs sa Die Beautiful kasama si Mama Pao) for acting challenge.

Vice Ganda for roast challenge.

Kris Aquino for branding challenge.

Jean Garcia and Eula Valdez (Mama Pao's aunt) for acting challenge.

May napanood ako sa Tiktok sabi niya baket daw mga local coffee shop dito puro international ang nakahain, i.e., mga pasta, crepe, mga pastry, etc. Dapat daw pag sinabing "local" coffee shop, may tinapay na pwedeng isawsaw sa kape, may turon, nilupak, maruya, etc.

And you know what? I agree!!!

Tama nga naman, kahit sa kape, ang mga paninda sa local coffee shop ang vibe mga cafe *americano*, caramel macchiato, etc.

Dapat may ano rin... kapeng barako kunwari, tapos kape sa asukal na pula ganyan. Kahit same recipe tapos iba lang tawag, ganyan naman din trip ng mga kapehan ngayon.

Eh kaso nga, yang ganyang produkto nabibili mo sa halagang lima-limampiso sa bekiri. Hindi mapapatungan nang malaki, so ang eksena ng coffee shop eh magbenta ng magaganda ang tunog sa pangalan. Kwasangkk (croissant), chiken alfreydow, alyo olyo, etc. para di makapag-reason ang customer na "ay mas mura yan don samen".

Dapat mag-guest judge din si Willie Revillame sa Drag Race PH bilang siya naman ang tunay na lipsync assassin kung maka-lipsync sa Wowowee dati ng kanta niya eh wagas.

Kelly Clarkson (v.)

1. To have your own song be sung way better by Kelly Clarkson. (e.g. "Billie Eilish's Happier Than Ever has been Kelly Clarkson'd.")

2. To be judged by a store personnel for trying to buy an item they think you cannot afford. (e.g. "I just got Kelly Clarkson'd in Talbots y'all, this bitch thinks I don't have 200 dollars to spare for a new bag.")

I kinda fear Inter is going to have the same fate as Comic Sans, Times New Roman, and Calibri in that it's going to become so overused it's essentially infamous and immediately recognizable.

Drag Race PH S4e3 spoilers

Madali lang naman talaga intindihin paano natanggal si Dixxy Decoy this week. Wala siyang story line. Same with Andy Crocker. So the moment na nahanapan sila ng butas, niligwak sila ng production. Yun nga lang, magaling si Andy dun sa lip sync. I don’t even think ni-rig ng prod for Andy yung song choice. I feel like she would’ve won kahit hindi campy yung song, and Dixxy would still go.

Andy Crocker should’ve been among the top queens instead of Dixxy Decoy. Andy’s runway this week ate, and her verse in the girl group challenge actually did a lot of heavy lifting to introduce her brand. Dixxy on the other hand… her outfit did not match the category AT ALL. It’s just a purple dress with a heavy chain and a fantabulous wig, but nothing about it screams futuristic.

I've had mangoes from Guimaras and they tasted like heaven, but regular mangoes I get from the grocery or from the wet market still taste really good. To me, mangoes are the face of fruitlandia. I am *shocked* to find out that this isn't the case for people outside PH.

That Mama Pao cameo for Latina Royale finale just underscored for me how underrated Mama Pao is. In hindsight, Vice Ganda couldn't have been any better than Mama Pao as a DRPH host.

Mejo sige tanggapin na lang natin na tutok talaga mata ni mama sa teleprompter. We can't have it all, 'ika nga. 😂

Gets ko yung bubog teh, lalo kung middle class ka na nangungupahan sa isang barong-barong sa Caloocan o sa Tondo tapos makikita mo yung mahirap na dating nakatira sa ilalim ng tulay eh naka-tiles na yung bahay at bigay ng gobyerno.

Pero bakit dun ka sa mahirap galit lmao bakit di sa gobyerno na dapat may maayos na housing program?

Aminin natin, kaya di natin masapak sa mukha yung mga nasa upper classes eh kasi gusto rin natin makarating do'n. Pero isang beses ka lang maospital, lower middle class ka na ulit baon ka pa sa utang.

Saka in the grand scheme of things, mas tipid magpabahay sa mahirap kaysa gastusin sa pag-resolve ng krimen (frankly walang kuwenta mga pulis natin), pagsugpo sa droga, etc.

Just updated to 157. I am slightly overwhelmed by how rounded everything is, but other than that I like it. The themes are good, but also I love that I can still retain my previous userChrome.css configs, as well as enabling the Mica effect in Windows.

Okay, some of these queens are kinda forgettable :/ I was looking forward to seeing Andy Crocker, but she ended up being J Quinn's elder sister.

Katana won this episode for me. Manza did good, but as much as I dislike her, I agree with Bhorj Gum and I think Manza's too late because now the stunts have just gotten old.

Valeria is hot, but that AI-generated music was kinda disorienting. Misua also seems to have used AI-generated music, but at least she had her concept down. Bombalicious Eklaver is very endearing, I feel like I am going to love seeing her on my TV.

Merckz is giving me some vibe of a gay kid who's chronically on stan Twitter defending Lady Gaga from haters.

Bhorj Gum is *very interesting*. I don't like her character, but I like that she's on the season to bring *that* spice.

Taylor Sheesh needs to adjust her comedy for TV, because I'd seen something like what she did live, and it was hilarious in person. But it didn't translate very well. Very reminiscent of what Lady Morgana did for the talent show in Season 1.

Katana already giving me winner vibes, I don't think I can say anything more.

Maureen Biology getting the villain edit feels *right*. It suits her, I feel like for some reason.

Who I am is being built through a series of things I say no to, and friends tell me the things I said yes to. In this way, I am propped up by the community I've built around me. And even if my angsty teenage self would disagree, I wouldn't have survived without friends. I truly am the pieces of the friends I made along the way.

These corpo shills acting like deadlines are real lmao you build ecommerce websites with Wordpress. No one ever died just because they couldn't key in their discount code for a few hours. Calm tf down.

A very distant memory that only came back to me just now: I and my grandma were both in the infamous Wowowee ULTRA stampede. But we weren't in the area where it happened; my grandma had the good sense to only wait in the exteriors of the crowd. I remember eating a hotdog sandwich when the "news" came that they were already starting to let people in, then we came home a little bit later.

It wasn't until the nightly news that day when I found out what happened.

My grandma was really into these promos she watches on TV. Back then, they made me start drinking Chocquik instead of Milo because a GMA TV program was giving away prizes for every ten empty sachet you send over to them.

And I was pissed because that was also around the time Milo started printing trading cards at the back of their sachets 🤣

She also had a dream of buying her own house. She would frequently keep the flyers given out by Camella and similar housing plans in Bulacan whenever we would do our groceries in Uniwide (before it became a Super 8 outlet).

She would also frequently watch that cooking show by Chef Rosebud and would try them out by the next payday. I remember fondly the day when she first tried cooking a paella; I still remember how it tasted, very far from the paellas I've had since. But it was her first try, and it was honestly not bad.

When I celebrated my 5th birthday, she cooked lengua for my classmates' parents and my teacher. I didn't know what the fuss was all about that time, but now I get it; I would kill for a lengua.

She died when I was seven years old. They said someone was doing a "barang" on her. We brought her to an apparently very good albularyo in Novaliches, who got actual metal nails and rough stones out of her stomach. He got to get my grandma speak in a squeaky voice too, who was, as they said, the person who put the barang curse on her.

Idk if I believe it; I've seen it with my own two eyes, but I was seven lmao

It was also strange because she had "manas" as we call it in Filipino, where her legs would have fluid build up, and pressing on the skin would leave an imprint that would stay for a minute. And it would only happen during high tide. That was crazyyy.

My self-diagnosing aunt said it was beri-beri, but they refused to get her to a doctor. They kept sending her to an albularyo, until that albularyo told them to get her to the hospital 💀

The doctor offered to get my grandma a CT Scan, to which my aunt (who is a Taurus) asked, 'if we do this, is there a chance that my mom would recover?' The doctor said no, only that they would have clarity as to what exactly she is sick of.

Apparently, it was enough to my mom and her sisters that the cause of death was barang.

During her wake, my grandma's surviving siblings took the trip from Davao to Caloocan to stay with us. One of them was the sister my mom and aunts suspected to have put the barang on my grandma. They confronted her, and she vehemently denied the accusations (accdg to their stories to me now).

And then they just let it go. And that's the last memory I have of my grandma.

The concept of Mama Pao competing in a Drag Race All Hosts edition and people saying she's going to be an early out... y'all weren't here when Mama Pao was still Precious Paula Nicole on Eat Bulaga, or when she got on international news for doing makeup transformations and impersonations of celebrities.

That bitch is used to doing lip syncs in full drag at the scorching Philippine noon heat in front of hundreds of people in the streets of Manila.

Not to mention she's related to a national artist, and has won acting awards (plural). She will own the Snatch Game, runways, design challenges, girl group challenges, and everything in between.

That's why she's the host of the franchise and not someone like Vice Ganda. Mama Pao is *severely* underrated, even before DRPH.

Even as I grew up in the slums of Caloocan, with my access to online communities, I have grown to dislike street art, music, and fashion. What people nowadays call "genggeng", or in my day, "jejemon". Even then, I was aware that this was a form of elitism, but I was nevertheless happy to participate in mocking this street culture, thinking that it elevated me. Granted, I was sixteen and had a strong need to build my identity.

But after years of enjoying different kinds of music and art, I find myself coming back to genggeng songs I've heard (against my will) growing up; they now feel like home. And I've surrounded myself with friends from "high places," so to speak, who willingly listen and even like these kinds of songs.

And I've been thinking about this a lot recently, about how much elitism is built into young minds of my generation. English being the supreme language over Filipino languages; Western media being elevated over Filipino ones.

I've given genggeng media another chance, and I find surprisingly that I actually enjoy it unironically. I even identify with some of it. Even the songs that are sexual in nature; because if I can listen to Lady Gaga sing about masturbation on the daily, why can't I listen to a Filipino musician do the same? Is it really a question of taste, or is it coming from a place of elitism?

Went to a workmate's wedding and got endlessly complimented for this Barong Tagalog that I literally just picked off the shelf of Onésimus because it matched the preferred color of the bride lol.

(I like to think I know fashion well enough to subconsciously pick the best, but really Onésimus just makes gorgeous garments.)

Man in a Barong Tagalog wearing a pair of glasses and smile as he takes a mirror selfie with his iPhone. Man showing off his chestnut-colored Barong Tagalog in a selfie. Southeast Asian man wearing a Barong Tagalog embroidered with intricate patterns taking another mirror selfie in a different part of a party venue.

Top moments for me

1. "You will be inlaid upon this statue."
2. "Traveler, you are Teyvat's Fourth Descender."
3. Furina finally getting out of the Opera Epiclese
4. Natlan Act IV
5. Jade Chamber vs Osial
6. "The moon really is beautiful tonight."

I've been sick on and off since July. This is the sickest I've ever been. Almost running out of sick leaves too.

But I finally bought myself a fridge, so life is still good. 🥰

Etong may-ari ng Meralco takot na takot mabawasan kita nila akala mo naman magugutom siya like?? 🤣 May monopolyo po kayo sa negosyo nyo, wala kaming choice kundi bayaran kayo di n'yo ikakamatay mag-shoulder ng OpEx 🤣

Zsazsa Zaturnnah stage musical, but Ada is played by Hana Beshie and Zsazsa Zaturnnah by M1ss Jade So. I don't think any of them could sing, so they should have ghost singers that are also on stage that they will very obviously lipsync to 🤣

"There's no way students wrote ten-page essays for a homework without AI." Diva, I used to handwrite fifteen to twenty pages worth of text without even reading the source material lmao I was just at Wikipedia pulling stuff out my ass and writing shit.

Everyone saying Sadie Sink’s character in the new Spider-Man movie is Jean Grey. But what if she just introduces herself as Wanda Maximoff from a different X-Men universe, that would be a gag 😂

It took some time to grow on me, but damn. There IS a reason why Madonna is the Queen of Pop. My god. Imagine being in your 70s and still putting out music everyone and their moms listen to.

being a fan of both her and Lady Gaga, I say I've been blessed in the last three years between MAYHEM and Confessions II. Now, Rina Sawayama is also around the corner.

Madonna's new album about to debut in #1 at the Billboard charts, and her biggest competitor is Olivia Rodrigo lmaooo this bitch can't stop being a mother omg

Natatawa ako dun sa nagreklamo na bakit daw pinapalapad yung sidewalk sa Ayala sa may Makati eh wala naman daw naglalakad do'n.

Malamang teh, kasi hindi walkable kaya walang naglalakad srofl

Looked up meal subscriptions and it's literally just home cooked meals delivered to your doorstep. Mag-carinderia na lang ako mas mura pa.

Meal subscription: ₱400+ per meal
Carinderia: ₱60 ulam, ₱15 kanin

This was supposed to be some sort of obituary or eulogy for my biological father, but like I said in the post, we didn't have a relationship to begin with. So I just let the ink flow where it wants to go <3

Isn't it so wild that Madonna really came up on a stage for an acceptance speech where she just lists her contemporaries that are now dead?? Lmaoo

"Michael is gone. Tupac is gone. Prince is gone. Whitney is gone. Amy Winehouse is gone. David Bowie is gone. But I'm still standing." 😭

Got a burst of writing inspiration last weekend because I was sick. Got around to writing about two or three paragraphs.

It's Wednesday and I am still finding the words to write next lmao

This cannot be the same brain I used to write pages upon pages of essays in Filipino *and* English back in high school blobcatbigsob it really is a muscle you gotta train.

Thank God Isetann Cubao is still standing, and NOVO is still slaying. Power Plant Mall and SM department stores could never rival the vibe these two give, i.e., lower middle class families buying new pairs of shoes, bags, and supplies for their child two weeks before school starts.

I can't help but feel the organizers of Quezon City Pride March are starting to lose their touch. I know there's an incentive to being the biggest Pride March in Asia, but it shouldn't be at the expense of the advocacies we should be fighting for.

Chasing for numbers got us partnering with oppressive corporations who are only in it for the money. I don't think we are forced to partner with necessary evils in this case. Okay naman tayo dati kahit wala sila e.

This is the exact same predicament we were in in 2024 when they revealed BINI as part of the guest performers to rake in attendees, even those who are not our allies. All we got was a concert that was supposed to be a march for gender equality but got hijacked by straight people who not only not cared, but even verbally assaulted queer people at an event that should've celebrated them.

Sorry, but Madonna's biopic shouldn't be a film. It should be a series, like The Crown. How are you going to condense her entire life and legacy in less than 3 hours?

In your late 20s, it's important that you talk to older people. I'm 27, and I just chitchatted with a 35-year-old gay dude, and now all of my fears about life timelines and growing old has calmed down.

There's pageant gay who's interested in all the Miss's (Miss Universe, Miss World, Miss International, etc.), and then there's drag gay who's interested in drag queens and Drag Race. They're usually not the same person.

Whoever designed the sun in the Philippine flag was genius. It’s a masterclass in brand design. You can just take that token out of its context and put it anywhere and it screams “Philippines”, with or without color. Nowadays, you pay design agencies in millions of dollars to create something like that.

Spent a full two days with iPhone 16. It is noticeable how fast the battery drains, even with both airplane mode and low power mode on. But this is still miles better compared to my Samsung A52s. I just have to remember to remove the 80% battery charge limit the next time I go out so it has more juice.

But also got a whiplash from how clear and crisp the images are. When I was choosing between it and Samsung S25, videos keep comparing cameras and focusing on the nitty gritty of everything. But I think realistically, if you're coming from an old midrange phone like I am, none of all that really matters. All I am noticing now is how much better iPhone's camera is to my old phone.

Also, I totally forgot that iPhone 16 only comes with 60Hz refresh rate. My friend (who is a graphic designer) had to point it out to me. I really didn't notice because I think the Liquid Glass effects compensated for it so much and the screen's quality is just crisp.

And that's coming from me who's gaming in 140Hz and has a midrange phone set to 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. I really didn't notice.

This storyline Marcoleta et al are weaving… it should be clear that they know there's no way out of this for them but another Duterte presidency. Yung script nila na nabigyan ng maleta pati ICC as bribe, it is not supposed to make sense. It is supposed to *confirm* the DDS' beliefs so they stay loyal to Sara come 2028. It doesn't matter that the hearing yesterday wasn't official. They just needed people to see it. All propaganda.

Finally bought myself that iPhone 16 I’ve been saving up for since last year 😭 I can’t stop holding it. I love having a small phone again.

Mukhang na-realize ng team ni Heidi Mendoza na malaki impact sa brand niya nung naging fiasco regarding sa stance niya last elections re: LGBTQ+ community. I hope na sincere yung message niya na talagang naiintindihan na niya saan nanggagaling ang mga bading.

At kung tatakbo siya ulit, ibigay na niya sa mga bading yung running joke na sa kanya isusumbong lahat ng mga baklang siraulo at pasaway. Honorary homophobic kumbaga 🤣

We gotta prepare for when Inday Sara surrenders her presidential run and has her campaign replaced by Baste Duterte come 2028.

They're already planting the seeds. The dude literally just had a personality and branding overhaul. Apparently, he was your typical conyo yayamanin dude you'd swear was secretly gay. But now, he speaks just like his jailed father, down to the Bisaya cadence and tone and depth of voice.

They've seen the polls. Despite multiple statements saying she wouldn't run again, Leni is steadily getting numbers. Tulfo as well. While Sara's numbers go down every time she opens her mouth. Her political career is done for, at least on a national level, especially with the impeachment looming over her head.

Something Miranda Priestly said in the second film resonated with me so much. "People should know. They should know there's a cost. But boy, I love working."

Literally teared up at her just being giddy at saying that last sentence, because I, too, love working—even at the expense of watching my life pass me by sometimes.

I don't mind small talk, and I find it strange how people hate it when it comes to dating. Small talk is an important part of building rapport and making each other comfortable in a conversation.

These men always wanna jump into talking about heavy shit like politics, relgion, morality, and philosophy like?? And when you actually sit them down to talk about that, they come up with nothing substantial.

Talked to a guy once who said he hated small talk, so I asked him what he wanted to talk about. He said he wanted to know about me, so I told him everything, from how I grew up with no parents and how I grew up inside a cult—the entire autobiography. Then he had the audacity to tell me he didn't want to talk to me any longer because, according to him, I trauma dumped on him lmao

Attended the Pride Night by loveyourselfph last night, and it was so much fun. The theme was Songkran, so we were expecting to be hosed down, but they didn't have enough water supply. But it rained so much at around 9 or 10 PM so it was good.

Too bad, one generator got wet and caught fire so the event had to be called early. And of course, people online are saying it's a sign from God but whatever 🙄

Iba din yung 2000s to 2010s rivalry ng ABS-CBN at GMA e. Same concept sa mga teleserye, magkaibang take sa execution, pero parehas problematic srofl

Sa ABS-CBN, may mga taong unggoy sa Kambal sa Uma. Sa GMA naman, may taong uling sa Luna Blanca. 😭😭😭

Of course may Magpakailanman vs MMK, Imbestigador vs SOCO, saka Rated K vs KMJS din.

Nakaka-miss yung may sariling channel pa ABS-CBN. Tangina mo duterte mabulok ka jan

Ahead of the Pride Month, I'm sharing another Filipino gay lingo I use all the time.

"Watashi" = a person.

Example: "Paepal na naman 'to si watashi, parang timang eh."

Root word: "tao", lit., human

tao → otaw (reversed, street slang) → wato (reversed again) → wata → watashi

Variants: watusi, watsiley (from Wa Zi Lei from Meteor Garden), watanabe, waterloo, watsmi, watch-me-neyney.

Ang tanong ko, bakit di natin ginawang pang-disqualification ang conviction for graft & corruption? Like, sa mata ng batas, ang napatunayang kurakot keri lang tumakbo ulet basta binoboto ng tao? 😭

Some people say global warming is a hoax, orchestrated by the Chinese. But I say, show me the receipts! Because why would Xi Jing Ping wanna flood my basement and rust my bow flex? To what end!? TO WHAT END? 🎶🎵

Also, the way Pepito Manaloto just has deep lore that not even most viewers know? Like I was today years old when I found out the first instalment is a way different story than the second one. The first one was a mockumentary of Pepito's life, but it's all fabricated stories. Then they remade it to show the actual day-to-day life of Pepito's family, and that's why the second instalment is called Pepito Manaloto: Ang Tunay na Kuwento.

I'm 28 now, and in the middle of doing a laborious, repetitive task at work, I randomly realised just how young my mother was when she died.

She was 36.

Like, fuck. Yes, I already feel old, but I also feel like the best life has to offer is still ahead of me. I can't imagine being 36 and just… dying.

These new devs dunking on jQuery. Let's put some respect on its name, y'all weren't here when not even border-radius was a thing. And even in 2016 when I started web development, it was a godsend because shit didn't work half the time.

The reason we enjoy compatibility now and Baseline and shit is because of jQuery. Y'all wouldn't have the bloat of React and fanciness of these other frameworks without it.

Eto si Jinggles Exxtradey (drag name ni Jinggoy Estrada) talagang di nagtatanda noh nakasuhan na naman ng plunder si tanga 😭 🤣 at syempre iboboto na naman siya ulit ng kanyang mga tangahanga.

We need to lock in for this year's Pride month like... if we needed to lock the most in, it's this year. We have Trump, companies, and AI against us.

The Pope just published a manifesto *against* AI.

"Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together."

Genshin Impact Luna VII major spoilers

I keep forgetting that this is in fact *the* finale of the Sumeru AQs. My god, what a treat that they started and ended with Collei. Such a nicely tied bow on a very well made present.

Genshin Impact Luna VII minor spoilers

What they're doing to Nefer's character this patch has been truly astounding, I say. This is exactly how I wanted them to answer the question of how does Nefer react to being back to the desert after going through all that traumatic experiences that made her leave in the first place.

Perfect character writing. I say they are doing this better than their first go at it.

In , the D/R alternation (i.e. when words' spelling change between D or R depending on the sound that precedes it) is totally optional as long as the meanings doesn't change.

So while we sound-wise prefer "Malaki raw" over "Malaki daw", neither is wrong. Both are grammatically correct.

[Source: Manwal sa Masinop na Pagsulat]

Subalit tandaan: Hindi ito dapat ituring na tuntunin sa pagsulat. Ang ibig sabihin pa, hindi dapat ituring na pagkakamali ang paggamit ng din at daw kahit sumusunod sa salitang nagtatapos sa patinig at malapatinig. English translation: "However, note: this should not be treated as a rule in writing. Furthermore, using 'din' and 'daw' after words that end in vowels and semivowels should not be considered wrong."

There are cases when the alternation is mandatory as it changes the meaning of the word. The source gives the words "madamdamin" and "maramdamin" as examples. Although both words are technically one and the same, the vernacular has given them sufficiently distinct meanings.

"Madamdamin" is an adjective that describes something as being full of emotions (e.g. "Madamdaming palabas" (lit. "emotional show")).

"Maramdamin" describes someone who's emotionally sensitive.

If you're a business owner, go marry a person you actually like so your employees don't suffer under your Return-to-Office policies and they can keep working remotely.

Sobrang out of touch ng mga mayayaman talaga no, until now di ko pa rin maarok kung paano dumating si Sarah Discaya sa conclusion na okay lang iyabang sa media na first time niyang boboto on the same year na tumakbo siya sa pagka-mayor 😭

Etong Meralco pati solar panels pinagdidiskitahan under the guise of concern dahil source ng sunog. Eh samantalang hallmark ng Philippine tourism ang sala-salabat na wiring ng electric cables.

Baket di n'yo pa lubusin at i-regulate na lang din ang photosynthesis?

I keep remembering that post on Instagram that said that healing the inner child is easy compared to the inner teen because the teen is mad as hell.

And I feel like now I am getting to that point. I just feel my patience wither away faster than it used to be, and especially to people that I believe should know and do better.

Legit yung story ni Pirena parang si Loki sa MCU.

- Royalty na na-reveal na may lahi ng kalaban
- Naging taksil, nakianib sa big bad para sakupin ang buong kaharian
- Na-corrupt
- Nag-sacrifice ng sarili as redemption
- Napunta sa ibang realm to reclaim powers
- Naging being of a higher power
