"Bakit sa tuwing nakikita kitang nakangiti, tila'y mas nagniningning ka kaysa sa mga bituin sa ibabaw ng mga ulap?" THE FEELS, MIONG IS SO IN LOVE-

So I took my shot, Veil Scene 14 Redraw Trend! PLEASE READ THE VEIL MANGA IT'S VERY GOOD! Check out the author of the Manga as well! here

I love Mabinaldo, I love Philippine art, and I love murder mysteries. It’s only about time that Mabinaldo Hannibal AU happens. If this is already an idea, please tell me.

Hannibal is an inherently grim show with really dark/troubled characters. Now, I don’t know how that will work with our Philippine History Heroes since what we know of them are due to their involvement with the revolution. The plot will also surprise me, I think. I’m excited to write this.

Antonio: Hindi ba pwede na nakangiti ako dahil masaya ako?

Joven, son of Miong and Pule, was conflicted between his two suitors: the General and the Colonel. Miong wanted the General. Pule wanted the Colonel. Joven has to choose.

Joven was told by his parents that if he was to choose a man, it would be someone with achievements, great deeds, decency and a good reputation. Being the good child, he said that he will make sure that if he was to ever love, it would be a man as that.

The news of a great brigade led by a young man named General del Pilar was stationed to set up camp close to their residence. It wasn’t a surprised; since his dad had always favored the General. Well, because he was a ‘General’. What to expect then? The man had accomplished too much for his young age.

So, when the General went on to their house with nothing but on his very best alone, his dad was all smiling. Especially when the General speaks, “Magandang araw po, mga ginoo. Pumopogi po tayo ngayon ah.”

But Joven’s father was grumpy as if he easily saw right through the General’s bad reputation. Joven heard from his position upstairs, his dad saying, “Wala si Joven dito.”

Joven flushed. Saddened by the lie.

“Magandang araw,” his dad greeted, brimming with a smile. “Hinahanap mo ba si Joven? Tawagin ko la—”

“Mukhang anak ko ang napili mong lokohin sa lugar na ito, ah,” interrupted his father.

The General tipped his head to the side, unsure of what those words meant. “Po?”

“Pole…” his dad trailed with a strained smile.

The frown on his father’s face deepened. “Miong…”

“Si Joven ay nasa itaas, General del Pilar,” answered his dad, still looking on at his father. “Paniguradong matutuwa si Joven na malaman na umaakyat ka sa kanya ng ligaw.”

The General, who was so blinded with love, grinned happily. Tipping his cap first as of a nod, before dashing on to the direction of the staircase, all the while saying, “Maraming salamat po, mga ginoo.”

His father wasn’t happy. Joven found out that the General has a long string of lovers, and has the reputation of leaving a lover on every town he went. His father wanted a descent man with a good reputation.

As it figures, one time when the General visited them, General del Pilar’s aide-de-camp, Colonel Enriquez, who’ve came along with the General before, had set his eyes as well on to Joven.

So, like the General, he garnered his strength and courage, made his way to the house with flowers plucked by the riverbank, and though shivering in fear, he met Joven’s parents at the sala. He made his way to mano, saying in almost a stutter, “Magandang araw, mga ginoo. Maari ho bang makita si Joven?”

Joven squirmed. Excited.

His father was smiling gently. “Napakarespeto mo naman. Pababain ko lang saglit si Jo—”

But his dad immediately stood from his seat, eyes dark, blaring with haunting aura, crossed the room to reach the Colonel, and shove a piece of paper to him. Threateningly, he said, “Kung gusto mo makita si Joven, eto ang litrato. Pakatitigan mo.”

The Colonel took the picture, shivering, as he felt like Death was standing right in front of him. “P-po?”

“Miong…” His father snapped with a furious smile, indicating trouble.

“Pole…” His dad’s eyes narrowed, looking intently at the Colonel. The latter could swore that he almost peed on his pants.

“Iho, si Joven ay nasa itaas,” remarked his father. “Paniguradong magagalak siyang makita ka.”

“M-Maraming salamat po,” the Colonel replied as he took his hat, fumbling to keep his hands from shaking. The flowers were almost withered on how tightly he closed his hands around it.

When his parents couldn’t decide, conflicted on who to choose, since their opinions were divided, they finally turned to Joven.

“Joven, mamili ka? Sino sa dalawa?” Asked his dad.

“Yung mangogoyong heneral o si Koronel Enriquez?” Inquired his father.

His dad was shocked with the words used. “Teka lang. Baka dapat ang pagpilian ay: si Heneral del Pilar o yung nangangatol na koronel?”

His parents bickered on against each other. Dictating the pros of their chosen suitor, and downgrading with cons the other one. In the end, his parents had decided to ask the ultimate question.

“Sino ang mas mahal mo sa aming dalawa?”

“Kayo pong dalawa,” Joven didn’t hesitate answering.

“Alam namin yun, Joven,” assured his dad.

“Pero isa lang ang pwede mo piliin,” added his father.

Joven looked down with a light blush on his cheeks. He fumbled on with the gold ring and a made-shift withered flower formed into a ring that adorned his fingers. “Sa totoo nga lang po… naka-oo na po ako sa kanilang dalawa.”

One of my biggest Headcanons for Aguinaldo is him secretly knowing how to draw and paint. Just imagined him sketching Mabini while on their late night works. Doing their papers, manuscripts and etc. than him actually doing the work.

Aguinaldo technically slacking off during office hours with Mabini or even with their late night talks considering he can't stop thinking about him. Aguinaldo having internal dilemma about his feelings despite the political dispute and his admiration turning into a full blown affection. It was also a bit taboo since he was married too.

And this leads to him sketching Mabini from one the papers prepared for Presidential Announcement and Telegrams. Basically wasting it or perhaps using it as a canvas to draw Mabini secretly while they were working. Couple sketches been made from the papers and even it has the mark of the Republic's Insignia.

Mabini doesn't know about his natural talents about being a painter, and Aguinaldo does not show it. He did grow fond of it knowing painting brought him peace of mind but he did not boast it or show it. It was his personal output from stress during the political dispute and his sister Felicidad is the only one who knew his secrets. His talents and his little admirations to Mabini.

Additionally, upon watching some Documentaries, I found out that Aguinaldo's codename back when he was still with Katipunan. His name is Magdalo. I also imagined him using that codename again as he painted Mabini so secretly he had to used that signature again as someone who painted the Masterpiece.

No one else knows who is this Magdalo guy who had been painting the Prime Minister so well. And Mabini is so confused on his little stalker because he had been getting gifts of his paintings with flowers lately.

And strangely enough for Mabini, The President seems to find it pleasing to actually displaying it inside the Aguinaldo's mansion when one of the biggest portraits that was delivered to him as a gift. And not knowing Aguinaldo painted all of those, the president bluffed that Mabini should also have his own paintings around the house because of the "kind and considerate" man who respected Mabini and effortly painted him in a portrait.

Once the portrait had been displayed, chaotic gossips from detractors starts to re-surface not just the one from the Syphilis/Camara Negra Rumor but Mabini actually had a lover. Aguinaldo find it pleasing about the rumor since he was the painter and addressing him as "Mabini's Secret Lover" is amusing to him.

While also bluffly denying the meanings of why he agreed to displayed Mabini's portrait. Telling it as a "Kind and Appreciative gesture" ever since Mabini came and contribute for the Republic. And applauding this "man who seems to be showing his fondness to the Prime Minister."

As the gossips resurface, Felicidad would eventually savour his Brother's antics. She may not tolerate this tabooness but she respected his brother's heart truly yearning for someone not just Political Marriages. (Hilaria and Aguinaldo in this AU they were arrange/political marriage due to one's wealth and merging businesses but Hilaria actually loves Aguinaldo however Aguinaldo seems to hesitate on loving her since it feels forced.)

Felicidad would snicker behind her fan to see such huge portrait of Mabini displayed in the living room of Aguinaldo's Mansion just beside Aguinaldo's portrait himself. She knew the distinct artstyle of his brother despite from afar since she was the one who supported him to pursue developing his talents from their childhood.

Furthermore, as the confusion from the servant around the house and the gossip emerged from every corner. Eventually when the Cabinets had visited Aguinaldo's quarters upon only to see Mabini's huge portrait hanged to the wall. The confusion grows more imminent and the Cabinet members keep eyeing Mabini and Aguinaldo. More importantly on Aguinaldo.

Aguinaldo doesn't seem to be fazed by the rumors, questions of the cabinet but keeps his head forward with a smile. Considering the fact most of his paintings nowadays were all about Mabini. "His main beloved subject."

Alejandrino and Ortiz would actually be enthralled on how detailed the painting. Every brush stroke holds luxury and efforts and pure admiration. Antonio on the other hand having suspicious already because the fact he knows little knowledge about art—
