Hi I'm Anon who gave the Elibara shipping ask hahaha. I know how it feels everyone pretty much squealed whenever Elias and Ibarra had a moment and the teacher pretty much gave up on us after trying to convince us that Maribarra (????) was the canon pairing
LOL, Im actually rereading the Noli (or well, the english version because reading in tagalog is hard, sobrang lalim minsan di kaya ng powers ko lol, and I’ve always been curious about the english version) and Maria Clara, the poor girl barely got any chance of romance with him before plot happened and ruined everything, and then she literally had to find out she was illegit, got her almost-boyfriend imprisoned in the process of it, and then stuck herself in a convent thinking he’d died.
And then it took him THIRTEEN YEARS to come back and try to rescue her, and no offence to Ibarra, but the guy’s effing useless as a hero. He sucks at it. Thirteen years. And he didn’t even manage to do it. If we need a hero to save us we don’t pick Ibarra. Everything you touch dies Ibarra. IT DIES LIKE ELIAS, YOU USELESS RICH-KID.
Wouldn’t it be pretty cool tho, if instead of fridging Maria Clara, she picked herself up, camisa and saya and all, and decided to get revenge for all the injustice herself? She’s in an incredibly effective position being related to various persons in power. It would be so cool to have Maria Clara on one side and Simoun on the other, both changed by the injustice they experienced, and both working with conflicting methods towards the same goal, except they have no idea. and yes, I know the noli and fili were basically political statements in novel form but if someone wants to write fanfic of Maria Clara kicking Kastila ass in her own quiet dalagang filipina way, I’m so down for that.
And also maybe Elias lives and starts up his own rebel faction with Maria Clara as his secret benefactor and they both mourn Ibarra because he just disappeared, everyone thought he was dead even though Elias was so sure he’d gotten away.
Elias has become so angry and Maria Clara has become so cold and there is a hole in both of their hearts where Ibarra used to be. And then Simoun comes along and basically DRAMA. ANGST. MISUNDERSTANDINGS. LOVE TRIANGLES ENDING IN POLYAMORY. I ENDED UP WITH AN OT3 I DIDNT EVEN KNOW I LIKED FIVE MINUTES AGO OH NO.
so yeah, I guess, that’s my stance on maribarra.
