#kapampangan

Well.

I draw fanart of a specific character.

Louis from IDV!!

I draw him a lot to the point where it gets in the way of drawing characters such as Mayari, Apolaki, and my characters from the story Im writing… I want to post drawings of my ocs but I can’t when most of my art gallery consists of HIM.

ANYWAYYYYY here’s recent doodles of Matthias and Louis! Specifically as kapampangan nobles

If you do make a post, could you also cite your sources so that I can read? Thank you!

I'll put it in as one of the next topics that I might write up on in the next few weeks or months since it is pretty interesting but it might take a while if I have to be honest but I'll try my best to do it as soon as I can.

That being said, it may be a little more difficult to find reliable sources about mythology specifically and especially online since there has been a lot of unreliable or unsourced claims that I would need to wade through which would be a little bit more difficult considering that I myself was not raised in Pampanga, speak Kapampangan, or have easy access to someone who may be able to help me know more folklore or myths from the area but I'll do the best I can scouring around on papers, websites, and books.

Let’s Delve into the Kapampangan Collective Unconscious!

In Kapampangan thought, the soul is not a singular possession but a constellation. It is carried not only within the individual but also in relation to land, kin, and the unseen world.

The concept of kaladuâ, derived from kalâ (soul) and aduâ (two), reveals a vision of human life as “twin souls.” These are Lagyû, the personal soul that bears one’s identity, and Nû, the universal life force that ties each person back to Indung Tibuan (Mother Earth).
