Bleeding Ego's Banalikang

Bleeding Ego's The Gospel Truth, According to Tophbee and Inchworm COMPILED WITH Beatle Saint King's Research Unlike Golden Age and Starcross Crusaders GTO of Silver Age, this storyline was detailed by actual members of the Starcross Crusaders who actually lived in the experience and fact-checked by Beatle himself. "I believe Tyrone and Ruru also wrote versions of this same story. Hope you read 'em well!"--Beatle. Miguel Ibarra was never meant to be a messiah. He was just a neurodivergent Pinoy kid from Manila who patched up smashed toys, raised his autistic little brother, survived being called crazy, and dreamed of writing stories that fought back against corruption, eventually moving to Baguio. Then Aurora Fernandez walked into a bar — autistic like him, same wavelength, same rage at the world. Together they wrote journals and epics exposing the powerful. Until the Catholic Church saw Miguel's suffering and pattern-seeking mind and tried to script him into their Second Coming. He said no. That refusal cost everything. In 2036, the world turned mechanical in an event called Black Saturday — flesh to metal, blood to glowing Angel’s Blood.  Betrayed by friends, abandoned by institutions, tempted by cosmic eldest-son rage, Beatle fell — became Judge Emperor, wielded the Cainmarker, stimmed through slaughter, almost sold his soul to the Goat. And still, after the kiss, the stab, the scream into space, the hug from a janitor-suited God, and the quiet mop scene of punishment and pride… He chose to get up. “Everyone deserves redemption… but redemption doesn’t deserve everyone.” The Gospel Truth tells the scarred myth: the fall, the rage, the temptation, the kiss, the mop, the refusal to bleed forever. Written by Tophbee. Honest Genesis tells the unfiltered human truth: no divine election at birth, just two writers who loved each other, fought corruption, and got broken by the world that tried to turn them into symbols. Written by Inchworm. The Appendices are the raw, contested footnotes — Miguel's own 2025 journal entries full of trauma, wine experiments, strawberry notes and unedited panic attacks; family trees that trace divine bloodlines down to abusive fathers; species catalogs that proudly call humans “Tao” (monsters) and Aswangs “Beings”; and therapy transcripts where Beatle cries to Ma’am Phoebie about gardening and betrayal. The Aswang-Ikang Histictionary is the living, nasal-resonant glossary of the cosmos: alphabet rules (words end in consonants), pronoun tables (King = my, Kanyon = respectful you), cosmology (Bathala as Faith, Elders as moral forces, Sama as the rebel), species & tribes (Aswangs, Lycans, Nekos, Amomongo, Edomites…), and worlds & eras (Earth-0 failure, Earth-152 rebellion, Renaissance Age). It is deliberately incomplete and argued over — because truth is communal struggle, not revealed dogma. Written both by Beatle Saint King. This is not a story about a chosen one. It’s about a man who refused to be chosen — and paid for it every single day. Hope survives. But it limps. And it still mops the floor afterward. Reader warnings: Graphic trauma, ableism, religious institutional abuse, genocide, betrayal, stimming during violence, non-linear grief, dark humor as coping, no easy forgiveness, no pure heroes.
