@superfallingstars of course! My Petunia Evans playlist (and also her wedding setlist tbh) very basic mainstream music from the 70s that, as a very basic mainstream girl, she would've enjoyed!

#petunia evans #petunia #im honestly obsessed with that first smokie song its so catchy #music #there's some older stuff too like the seekers. who i think both lily and tuney would've got from their dad #Spotify

Historical inspiration for my fantasy novel: Pre-colonial Philippines

Seeker of the Lost Song is a historically-inspired fantasy novel merging medieval Finnish & pre-colonial Filipino elements, and I wanted to share two elements of Filipino history I included.

☼ 1) Dulang, a low table ☼

One of my favourite tidbits from my research is that pre-colonial Filipinos ate at a low table, sitting on the floor. Part of me worries that readers will think “Hey you stole that from Japan!” but I’m excited for the chance to show my people at their own low table, eating rice with their hands.

☼ 2) The balangay boat ☼

Another pre-colonial Filipino element I included in the book was a balangay, an ancient Filipino boat that’s recently come back into the public consciousness, with ancient boats being excavated and working replicas made. A quote from this article in STARweek, from one of the people who worked to rebuild the balangay, really resonated with me:

“It is very sad because we are a maritime people. We should be gifted and natural in the waters but colonialization robbed us of that consciousness. I am doing this to help rekindle that spirit”

The balangay that appears in my novel has a double outrigger (something that always feels so Filipino to me), but essentially it’s a larger version of the sketch pictured.  And I have to admit, the scenes on the balangay did stir something in me. Something ancient and ancestral, perhaps?

Seeker’s as-yet-unnamed sequel also features elements of pre-colonial Filipino history, but more on that at another time. Suffice it to say I’m enjoying this opportunity to learn more about the history of my people and use it in a fantasy setting!

NOT ME SEEING THE CHAPTER GET POSTED WHILE HIKING AND STARTING TO RUN HOME-

Also, I asked this once before much earlier on in the story but I’m curious to see if the answer’s different!! Do you have any songs you associate with Nia/Tobias/the story in general based on where it’s at right now??

So excited to read!!! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Bahaha!!! I'm just picturing you pelting through the woods like death itself is at your heels. 😂 Hope you enjoyed the chapter!

As for music, I've got a lot of songs associated with Nia and Tobias. Here are a few that fit well with the current state of their relationship (as of chapter 54), mostly from Tobias' POV! ^^

[Cyberpunk verse Nagayoshi and Jianyu jamming to this as they drive really fast down the highway in their car/motorcycle and or committing murder. Nagayoshi likes it and just puts it full blast, but Jianyu hates it. It sunk its claws into him though and so he just accepts his fate.]

#pon pon shit pon pon shit.... #FKJSHDFD I HATE THIS SONG FR THOUGH #each time it plays in the game I just am like '...I hate it here -jams anyway-' #it sinks into your brain and you're never free #;ooc jabber #;v: thrill seeker #;v: edgerunner #;m: nagayoshi #;m: jianyu

Thinking abt how human Asteri would be so pissed that human Gaster can hit all the notes in Take On Me but she only ever caught him singing ONCE (and that was the song) and he keeps pretending it didn’t happen no matter what she does.

#the only time gaster’s ever gaslit someone #seeker talks #double dingsaster au #or just any #human dingsaster au #⁂ #asteri #dingsaster #I mean I guess technically either Gaster could hit the notes but human Gaster is the only one who knows the song #Asteri’s voice is too deep she doesn’t have the range #it’s not DEEP deep or anything just not that high #she can sing marina and the diamonds songs almost perfectly. probably. not quite

Filipino & Finnish mythology & folklore in my recent work

Today I'd like to share the Filipino & Finnish mythology & folklore I’ve incorporated in my work so far. This includes The Quiet is Loud, Seeker of the Lost Song, Seeker’s sequel, and my new science-fantasy novella Tempest Ascending.

Folklore/mythology from the Philippines:⁠

✦ Nuno sa punso, a nature spirit who takes the form of an old man living in a mound of earth⁠ ✦ Tikbalang, a half-horse, half-human trickster who lives in the forests and mountains ⁠ ✦ Siyokoy, a humanoid sea creature with a scaled body, large red eyes, and sharp teeth⁠ ✦ Engkanto, an umbrella term for various enchanted spirits⁠ ✦ A certain deity that I can’t reveal because it’s a spoiler but SO COOL⁠ ✦ Actually, make it two⁠, why not? ⁠

Folklore/mythology from Finland:⁠

✦ Tuonela, the land of the dead, popularly appearing in the Kalevala ⁠ ✦ Ukko, the god of thunder, the sky⁠, and weather ✦ Haltija/Haltia, a guardian spirit that protects places or people⁠ ✦ Spell-song, which is featured in the Kalevala and also in real-life poem-singing competitions called kilpalaulanta

⁠Honestly, nothing feels more life-affirming than combining the mythology and folklore of both of my wildly different cultures into a cohesive whole that works together. I don’t think it’s too cheesy to say that it feels healing.⁠

Väinämöinen sings Joukahainen into a mire, Joseph Alanen. Tempera painting with a motif from Kalevala 1912-1913.

Half way through my Destiny Seeker binge watch and I'm enjoying it tremendously. Proper Thai uni BL with a bit of an edge - higher heat than usual and the most realistic beach frolic trip I've seen. Students getting absolutely hammered and making fools of themselves. I pity the poor staff.

And they're ALL ENGINEERS. Amazing. So instead of Engineer vs Architect we've got dorm rivalry. Ridiculous, ridiculous dorms with boys split into smart, sporty, pretty, wealthy etc etc. It's utterly mad and I loves it.

Main couple are idiots who've been pining after each other for 4 years without realising they're both in deep. Then we've got a perfectly cute actor/student who is ALSO been pining after someone for years (and who has hook ups because he's the only properly 'out' gay amongst this massive group of (apparently) pan/bi/gay men). The object of his affection is pining after one of our main couple though but at the end of Ep.5 (where I am now) he's apparently given up. Plus another baby couple who haven't really got going yet.

Throw in a sick mother and it's a delicious, classic BL pulp. A proper, not so guilty pleasure.
