before going forward ;

this is a personal spin on pinoy folklore that should not be considered as a TRUE depiction of actual pinoy folklore.

TRIGGER WARNING.

Before interacting with posts and banter, please note that this blog will have prominent themes that may be triggering to those who are sensitive to the subject. These themes may include trauma, death, gore, manipulation - so those who can't handle such themes (inlcluding minors) should be suggested to not follow me. Though this page is not purely triggering, I do have a preference of (17+) to follow me.

PROHIBITS.

Any blog/persons that have transphobic, homophobic, misogynistic, racist, and ableist, r//pe, pedophilic content will receive an immediate block. There are no exceptions to this rule. Though I may follow back any lewd accounts, that does not mean it is a free entry to enter my DMs and discuss lewd themes without my consent, or send pictures that make me feel uncomfortable. Again, this will receive an immediate block and there will be no exceptions.

SHIPPING.

Due to previous troubles with ship partners in the past, shipping will need to include high build up and chemistry between our muses. I will also only ship with people that I have gotten to know, so on-the-whim shipping will be prohibited and those who inquire on it will be immediately shut down. I will only ship with muses that are ABOVE twenty-one years old, and will not show any romantic intention with muses that are now of-age. My muse is multiverse and multi-ship, but can move to singleship later if I find a ship I’m most comfortable with. NSFW / Smut will only be offered through high amounts of chemistry through muses - but is not restricted to those who are not shipped with my muse.

ACTIVITY.

I kindly ask you to not pressure me when it is in regards of doing replies. If I am not replying to our thread and merely doing banter on the TL, it means that I am too busy to give a thoroughly thought-out reply ; and it will take time for me to respond. Though I try to be as active as possible, I am a first year college student with two part-time jobs, so I will not be around as frequently as I would like.

what is an aswang ,
& what is a mangkukulam ?

The Aswang is a shapeshifting evil spirit. It is a combination of a vampire, a ghoul, and a mangkukulam; a witch that dabbles in dark magic. Unlike vampires, Aswangs are considered daywalkers, because they are not harmed by sunlight. However, they are weakest during the day, because they do not possess their superhuman strength.b Aswangs are similar to humans. They experience a wide range of emotions, from anger to sadness to humiliation to happiness. They can form friendships and will never cause harm to their friends and neighbors.Mangkukulams, on the other hand, is the term used to the people who practice the sorcery. They often do it for revenge, or to do evil things to people. Sorcerers or mangkukulam can be found in rural areas or provinces in the Philippines .Some mangkukulam (witches) are doing this practice to protect their families and property. They keep themselves isolated from everybody. They often avoid people in the streets on daytime. Witch can also pass their black magic to their family such as their children. They must have a strong belief to the black magic that they possess.

the power of evil .

Raya's abilities will be seperated into two different categories; the ASWANG category where she gained powers genetically - and the MANGKUKULAM category, which she learnt abilities through training and reading of ancient texts. Weaknesses will be listed at the end.

ASWANG POWERS.

INVISIBILITY.
An aswang has the ability to turn invisible at the

SHAPESHIFTING.
An aswang has the ability to shapeshift to their animal or creature of choice when it comes to hunting during morning while scouring for food, or at the dead of night. They can turn into werebats, wolves, a crow, a black cat, or even ravenous dogs; depending on what type of prey they are hunting. Before they transform, a tell-tale sound of a quiet "tiktik" will ring in the air; the louder the farther they are - and the quieter the closer they are; fooling prey into thinking they are far away.

SUPERHUMAN STRENGTH.
An aswang has superhuman strength only DURING the evening when the sun is down due to the fact they are weakest during the day. Unlike vampires, they are not harmed by sunlight.

HEIGHTENED ENDURANCE.

HEIGHTENED

OBJECT TRANSFORMATION.
Aswangs can also transform the appearance of objects. They will replace their live victims or stolen cadavers with replicas made from tree trunks or other types of plants. This doppelgänger will then return home extremely sick and die naturally to avoid suspicion.

FLIGHT.
While aswangs can transform into animals, they can also sprout a pair of bat-like wings to assist them on flying when it comes from escaping angry villagers in the night after hunting.

MANGKUKULAM ABILITIES.

KULAM.
Kulam is a type of magic that inflicts pain and suffering to those who receive the curse. One of the most darkest type of magic originating from Asuang, the former God of Black Magic himself, Kulam allows the witch or sorcerer to curse a being into painful scenarios, even death. Kulam uses the components of the most harmful natural sources of the earth; including carnivorous beetles, metal, coal, boiling water, and pins - directly sending it to the body of the victim through an effigy connected with either a hair or nail clipping. It allows the witch to make the victim do their bidding.

HUKLUBAN.
Hukuluban is a type of magic that can only be used by those with black magic already in their veins - passed hereditarily through centuries of hard belief. Without the use of effigies and materials, Hacluban can kill by a simple raise or salute of an arm. But, this magic can be used to not only just kill, but heal; with the usage of charms. The downside of this magic is that it is quick to drain a user's life source; so the usage of Hukluban must be used at a minimum to ensure a longer life span. This type of magic is primarily used when one is close to their death and has final grievances to those they hate.
