Sibling moment
[ID: Two doodles of Crispin and Basilio from the show "Trese". Crispin is the older brother with short black hair, while Basilio is the younger brother, having long black hair brushing past his shoulders. They are both wearing black suits and have black eyes.
In the first doodle, they are seen laughing and wrapping an arm around each other's shoulders in a familial gesture.
In the second doodle, Basilio is looking nervous as he stretches out his arm, revealing a black spider crawling on it. Crispin, with a serious expression, is clutching a gun and aiming it at the spider crawling on his little brother's arm. Alexandra Trese, the female protagonist of the show, could be seen in the background facepalming and muttering, "Pastilan". END ID]

Brb thinking about Trese again...
Does anyone know where I can find Fanart that gives Team Trese their melanin back 💀
Like, yeah I know they're fair skinned in the show, but that's because of colorism and deciding that one of the only ways to initially separate the "good guys" from the "bad guys", is to make the "bad guys" darker.
Please give these poor bastards their melanin back, Alex's mom is indigenous and should be several shades darker than what she was depicted as. Crispin and Basilio should definitely be a few shades darker too, because their parents are dark too (both parents were considered "bad guys").
I just- they're Filipino, man. Let them be brown goddamnit.

Fanfic idea (Crispin x reader x Basilio)
Team Trese has been invited to an Island resort near the coast of Manila. With what seems to be a chance for a long-needed vacation turns into an investigation surrounding the murders of both the owner and one of the groundskeepers. With the help of the wind girls, they were introduced to a person that might help with the mystery surrounding their untimely deaths. But how can anyone focus on the task at hand, when both of the twins are too busy vying for the attention of a fisherman’s daughter? And Alexandra still seems to be shaken from the events of Talagbusao’s failed take-over.
idk if i should write it considering I'm still in the middle of exams but I just wanted to post this before I forget about it.

WAIT. don’t wanna assume but that Trese reblog had me thinking---are YOU FILIPINO?? (also did you like Trese too??)
I am! (☞゚ヮ゚)☞
I was born in Iloilo City and like, two years after that my family moved to Canada. So sure, I'm Filipino, but I'm not really connected with my roots culturally or linguistically. I have been to the Philippines once, and I have been raised in that Western Filipino/Asian lifestyle if ya know what I mean.
In terms of Trese, I enjoyed it! Didn't like the ending, which kinda soured my overall enjoyment of the show's entirety but I enjoyed every episode aside the last. Alexandra is a pretty interesting protagonist and I love her brothers. My sister and I talked about cosplaying them---me being Basilo and her being Alexandra (we just decided we'd be Crispinless)---but we both can't see jack shit without our glasses so we decided it would be a shelved idea.
Filipino rep wise, I enjoyed Trese as my sisters and mum filled me in on all the folklore that my mom had told them when they were kids. And though I'm not well versed in Ilonggo I can still understand it here and there, so it was great hear Filipino accents in an anime art style.
Until next ask,
-- Bleh

11:30 Am, you were at NAIA Terminal 4, a man is asleep right at the Air Asia stand. Or is he. Your job is to frame the S.P.O.T. (Supernatural Paranormal ) terrorist group. You go into the airport and you need to find the profile of the person you need to frame. You can't simply ask them all, so you head to the tourist information and steal an ID. You take it to question the tourists, thank god there are only a few today. The profile you need is: Scientist, Beach, Cebu Pacific. After a few interviews, you found her. You need to get a passport to get a bag to place the dead guy on the bench in. You find the identical bag and take the name of the owner. You head to the check in and try to get the passport, you need one now. But of course, the girl behind the counter isn't stupid, she wont give a passport belonging to Linda Crisencia when you literally are a dude. You need to get that lady out of there. You bought a soda and pretend to spill it next to the counter.
"oops, sorry..."
You pretend.
"Ugh! Read signs! Bulag ka?"
You get to the computer and take the duplicate passport. As you do this, your sister powers off all cameras. You manage to get the passport and you take the similar looking bag, you take it and place the body inside, but one last touch, removing the stickers. Luckily, you always bring alcohol with you. You take the stickers off and replace the bag, you get into the van with your sister and drive off.
As you drive, your sister starts to make fun of you.
"If you were smart enough, you could've just slipped the bag away from the security without making a dumb passport."
She says annoyingly.
"At least I do things planned unlike you!"
You start trash talking and roasting each other.
You arrived at HQ where you finally head to your office. You've been secretly investigating a case about a specific person named Alexandra Trese. You believe she is your cousin as you remember your family roots involved babaylan, real ones. Not dumb-ass witch doctors. The story of your mother was that she had a brother who was a babaylan. She never mentioned any other details about that brother of hers. She said that she had no powers and her only way to be a babaylan was to learn how to do healing magic. Too bad she wasn't born with this ability. But she was smart in science, she constructed a kris knife after Sinag was created (similar to Alex's) that can control atoms and form powers and create heat and could do the same things the Sinag can. Her family didn't accept her work so she ran away and continued her work. The NCIA discovered this and with the help of the NBI, they took her in and recruited and trained her. Then she became an agent where she met my dad.
Soon I heard a terrorist group is about to attack another MRT train with aswangs. You head to the coordinates.
I stood with another bunch of agents and my sister calculated the speed and trajectory of the jump I will make to land exactly in the train windows. One mistake then we all fail this mission.
"I got the calculations!"
"Make sure that's right."
You tell her. And she frowned before side eying you.
I immediately jump off the building and I landed right in the train windows causing the windows to break. I kicked the aswangs and threw them outside the train. I held the heads of two aswangs before cymbaling their heads with each other. I grapple the other before i stab him with my kris kick him to another agent that finishes him off. Your sister took her gun and shot the aswangs. The train stops at Shaw Blvd. And I got off. I realise, Alex will show up because the lack of information regarding the attacks will lead people to relate this to the Aswang Clan.
Next morning me and other agents arrived in black cars with our suits on right at the site for the attack and i was right, Alex will be there.
"Who are these guys?"
Her short haired bodyguard asks.
"Gago! They look like the frickin men in black!"
"If you put glasses on both of you, you'll look like them."
Alex replied to her long haired bodyguard.
"Let the professionals handle this!"
I told the cops.
"Who are you!? Who do you think you are!!!"
Alex asks angrily.
"The professionals."
You reply. Before heading to the scene and start convincing everyone it's just the aswang clan. You do this to reduce panick. You head back to Alex.
"Sorry for interrupting, by the way, im (y/n)! And this is by sister (s/n)."
I say while gesturing to my sister.
"Im Alexandra Trese, an asset of the Manila police in supernatural cases. These are Crispin and-"
"Let me guess the other, its ummm... Basilio?"
"Yeah, stop by my bar sometime."
For now, thats all folks!
