Zamboanga Pride Selfie

No, they are not going hardcore LGBTQ in Zamboanga!

After my 1993 and 199 visits to Zamboanga, I am finally able to up close to in-use Vinta outrigger boat, with the Sūlu Sea in the background, as I was ambling along the Senator Roseller Tarroza Lim (1915-1976) Boulevard between barangays of San José Cawa-Cawa and Santo Niño in Zamboanga City.

The outrigger lepa-lepa boat is more knows as the Vinta and it is easily identified by its multicolored striped sails. The Vista is used by the Sama-Badjao, Tausūg, and Yakan people along the Zamboanga peninsula, and they were once regularly used for fishing.

But with fishermen now preferring the use of the larger motorized outrigger boat, the Vinta is now used as a tourist attraction; especially in the regatta races during the October Zamboanga La Hermosa Festival dedicated to the city’s patron of Nuestra Señora Virgen del Pilar de Zaragoza (Our Lady of the Pillar of Saragossa).

Careful when you enter the desert in Perim, it gets very hot in the afternoon and there's no place to cool down, you'll be lucky to find it...

But there is one thing some Chaotic players have to be careful for when going to the desert, not because it's dangerous, but due to one particular Mipedian that loves to play tricks on them... his name his Vinta.

A cheeky Mipedian that stalks well when invisible, making him good at sneaking around and playing jokes on Chaotic players.

He's not mean or cruel like some Mipedians, just wants to joke around and perhaps make someone laugh or smile.

It's hard to be 'normal' in his tribe.. he is very skilled but his personality is what Prince Mudeenu doesn't like... wonders how his cousin Crown Prince has Vinta as one of his scouts...

Vinta knows that some don't like him, but he doesn't let that get to him.. at least not for all to see..

However, that will change, when he and the Crown Prince Iflar find something... oh boy...and this was no joke at all.. ------------

Ah yes, my favorite character in my favorite show ( One of many favorites from a card show lol XD )

So I wanted to draw a little something, been wanting to draw some creatures and well Vinta is the first hehe X3

In this Chaotic AU, he's pretty much the jokester Mipedian but he's very skilled in his power, and may become more..with a few friends...

I wonder who he's giggling with in the cool bar..
