when ur girlfriend tells u to come over so she can "rearrange ur guts" but ur a manananggal and she's a med student 💀✂️
twitter
[Image Description: A drawing depicting a med student studying her manananggal girlfriend's intestines, which are laid out on layers of tarp and plastic sheets. The whole piece is in warm shades of yellow, orange, and brown.
The student has books, notes, and a box of used bloody gloves to her left. Her gloved right hand is placed on the thigh of the manananggal's detached lower body, with one leg casually crossed over each other. Intestines and stylized blood pour from the latter's pelvis, staining her jean shorts red.
The manananggal's upper body and wings rest against a pillow and a drawer. She is scowling and looking slightly peeved at her phone.  Next to her is a water bottle and a plate of street food, with an uneaten stick of dugo. /end ID]

It's really funny cuz none of the pilgrims are aware of the demons of other countries that specifically target pregnant women—
What do you think it's gonna be like when a manananggal comes out at night and tries to cut open SWK's lower abdomen while their bowels are just sticking out? because the lower half of the manananggal's body is cut and will stand in place within a dark place (i.e, a forest, a cave or something) so that nobody can see/find it + can only be killed when garlic or salt is sprinkled on their lower body
I visualize it as either chaotic or just straight up something from a horror film—
I oddly think that the Stone Egg itself has a magic barrier around it to cushion damage from it's enviroment - being buried in the ground means it would be subject to earthquakes, volcanic activity, floods, the physical death of it's parent etc.
So imagine a scenario where the Pilgrim gang are staying the night in a somber village, hearing rumors of women losing their unborn children and suffering from horrific injuries or infection. Wukong i mega-sketched out, but the gang decides to investigate if it's a curse or something in case it follows them.
They don't seem to find any leads until an old merchant warns them of a bat-like creature said to inhabit the islands farther south-east. The animate flying torso of a woman that splits itself in half at night to target sleeping victims, particularly the pregnant.
The Pilgrims shudder at the implications.
That very night, the horse starts freaking tf out, waking the Pilgrims from their sleep where they see the figure of a bisected woman leaning over their eldest brother...
Tumblr media
The whole Pilgrim group is freakings out, especially Wukong who's woken up to see this horrorfying demon cutting into his body. His heart fills with fear not for his own immortal body, but for the developing one he holds within.
The sharp tongue of the creature punctures through the furry stomach... only to find an Egg-shaped barrier of magic enveloping it's prize.
The creature is confused long enough for Zhu Bajie to crush and hold down it's top-half with his rake. Tripitaka and Sha Wujing have a brief argument on what the protocol is for this type of demon and recruit the old merchant to assist them in defeating the creature for good. The merchant explains the method to kill the creature by salting it's hidden lower half - Ao Lie gets a clever idea.
Flying over the village and the surrounding forest, Ao Lie and Sha Wujing convince the dragons of the local skies to rain saltwater down heavily upon the village before sunrise to flush out the creature's lower half.
At sunrise; the manananggal manages to escape from Bajie's grasp, only for a horrific screech to ring out as it tries to reconnect with it's lower body moments later.
The village is super greatful when they find the remains of the demoness, especially when they learn one of the Pilgrims was a pregnant person injured in the attack. The gang gets lots of alms for their troubles, and Wukong now knows his Egg has a layer of magic to cushion it from such threats.

Okay, I should probably post the longer legend later, but I just read a lot about manananggals and aswangs in general lately and oh my goodness, there's a story that contains a manananggal baby!
The context is that two men stay over a family's house and some time in the night, they wake up to see the other family members rubbing a sort of oil or lotion on their arms which make them separate from their body and allow them to fly (something consistently established in most Luzon stories of manananggals as I've noticed). The family leaves behind their baby, sleeping peacefully as they went off to hunt presumably, leaving the two men alone with the child and the bottle of oily lotion.
Tumblr media
I don't know really, it's just a little surprising to find that there is a story that at least contains this detail because most manananggal in modern media and even folk stories focus on just young women and often the only family being their sisters or their old mothers. I had never read about a manananggal baby before and especially in regards of a folk legend so this is a little delightful.
