Whaat another transformer oc?? How could that be 🤨 anyways.. I’ve been fantasizing about making a jeepney transformer cuz Philippines 🇵🇭 also cuz I haven’t seen it done before and I yearned.. since jeepney are usually super customized and decorated and colorful I assume this fella really likes to collect decor to put on 😎 like magnets and stickers and other things. Anyways, I don’t have a name for them, but I’m considering Kalesa cuz they’re aka auto-calesa for the ol carriages that used to be the primary transportation in the Philippines. Also their design is inspired off of vintage/retro(??.. mostly from jukeboxes cuz of PH loving karaoke, but I didn’t wanna do a karaoke machine cuz those are from Japan and jukeboxes are from America) America saying as jeepney were originally military US jeeps that were left in PH which were repurposed and after years of decoration and restoration and customization are the way they are now 😎 pretty cool I think

ᴡʀɪᴛᴇʀ'ꜱ ɴᴏᴛᴇ: I'm back? This weekend is a struggle trying to compe up with a story. I almost had a crisis. Anyway, these are headcannons of what Clark would think about Filipino culture. Have you guys tried balut?

ᴡᴀʀɴɪɴɢꜱ/ᴛᴀɢꜱ: no other intended warnings; culture shock

You met Clark in a study room server. He was at the top left and your eye immediately catch his form hunched over a notebook while his camera captures his side.

You blurt out loud a question to which Clark immediately answers already getting the nerdiness out of him. It was nice talking to him that you both exchanged socials.

It was supposed to be just an online conversation until Clark blurts he's coming next month to your home-country to meet you.

When Clark came to the Philippines, you didn't know how he'd feel about transportation, food, lines, and the overall culture of the country. But here it goes...

Clark didn't understand why you were ruining perfectly-constructed highways just to build or change it. “That's like character development but for highways.” You laugh after

Clark would like to try food besides adobo, a renowned Filipino dish, just because it's too hyped. “Maybe you'd like sinigang.” “What's that?”

Clark almosts folds due to the sourness of the shrimp sinigang that you have him tasted.

You urged Clark to ride the jeepney, one of the main transportation vehicles in the country. “You say 'para po' for the driver to stop.” But to your embarassment, he said it out too loud urging the driver to pull over in your not destination. You didn't want to be embarassment further so you both waited for another jeepney or SUV.

Here's a fun one. When I was worldbuilding for Mas y Manos way way way back when, I made some pages of a fake travel diary, as if a visiting artist were making a book for future tourists by drawing his experiences. I still like these pages about the public transit.
