Unas pocas palabras sobre Porfi.

María Porfiria Hernández Nanco, Porfi, ya se había muerto una vez, pero despertó. Aquella vez pidió que la llevaran a su casa, no quería morirse en el hospital ni en cama ajena, quería morirse en su casa. A la mañana siguiente despertó rodeada de toda su parentela, todita, hermanas, sobrinas... hasta su familia de Texcoco había tenido tiempo de llegar.

"¿Y ora por qué tanta gente?"

Creíamos que te ibas a morir.

"Sí, pero, ¿tanta gente? ¿Por qué tanta?"

Pero, bueno, total que aquella vez no se murió.

Pasaron meses. Mi mamá y yo fuimos a verla a casa de su hermana, allá por el arroyo Papas. Estuvimos platicando con ella, que asentía, incómoda, incomodísima de que alguien, su familia, la estuviera cuidando. Traía arrastrando un tanquecito de oxígeno con un cable de diez metros que le permitía moverse pa todos lados. Quería ponerse a hacer quehacer, no la dejaban. Cocinar, no la dejaban. Entonces de repente agarraba su tanquecito y se escapaba y se iba a su casa. De ahí la regresaban a casa de su hermana.

"Anca". Porfi decía "anca" como abreviatura de "en casa de", un xalapeñismo (nahuatlismo, probablemente) ya en desuso. Anca tu abuelita, decía, con la b como g: Anca tu agüelita.

Luego se murió una segunda vez y despertó, ahora en el hospital, rodeada de gente.

"Ora sí los espanté, ¿verdad?", y se soltó a las risas.

La risa de Porfi ahora es un recuerdo que hace eco en la cabeza de unas pocas gentes. No seremos más de diez, más de veinte, y eso es todo. Es un sonido que va a extraviarse.

Y, bueno, la tercera vez se murió definitivamente. Ahí mismo en el hospital, algo que ella no quería, pero qué le vamos a hacer, así sucedieron las cosas, siempre se había salido con la suya pero esta última vez ya no fue así.

Mi mamá me abrazó y lloramos juntas en la cocina. Mi hermano no estaba, si no también lo habríamos abrazado. Abrazo de tres, esa es la historia de nuestra familia.

Llegamos temprano al velorio. Nos fuimos antes de que sirvieran los tamales, pues ya habíamos comido. Mi mamá cree que los tamales de verduras que Porfi le preparaba eran únicos. De Porfi. De ella. De esa relación que dos mujeres construyen a fuerza de verse todos los días. No sabe que son un platillo típico xalapeño, yo los he probado en la casa de Dani y también en una gran cantidad de antojerías a lo largo de mi vida. Pero mi mamá casi no sale a antojerías, cómo va a enterarse.

Mi hermano llegó de noche al velorio, cuando nosotras ya no estábamos. Platicó con uno de los hermanos que cubrían el turno nocturno. Los Hernández Nanco habían sido nueve hijos, Porfi de las menores; el papá murió y la mamá los abandonó chiquitos. Eran de por allá de por el límite con Puebla (¿de Chilchota, tal vez?), y cuando se quedaron solos, los niños fueron migrando a Xalapa. Quién sabe cómo lograron mantenerse unidos, pero así fue. Unidos. Muy unidos. Su hermana mayor, ¿Celedonia?, fue quien nos recibió en su casa y en la funeraria. Su hermano (¿cómo se llamaba?) era quien siempre andaba jalando a Porfi en el taxi; era quien iba a buscarla cuando se escapaba a su casa para ver si ahora sí se moría.

"Era muy llevadera", dijo el hermano de Porfi sobre Porfi.

Y sí era cierto.

No sé si mi hermano habrá llorado aquella noche. Lo que sé es que, a pesar de que estaba a dieta, aprovechó el pretexto de la plática, del velorio, la sociabilidad, el ofrecimiento, el duelo y la ausencia, para comerse varios panes. Él dice que uno; no le creo.

"Es que si alguien en este mundo sabía cuánto me gusta a mí el pan, esa era Porfi", dijo, aguantándose el llanto, provocándonoslo a nosotras.

Y pues eso también era cierto.

Okay, this is being put up at the request of @callistochan87.  Which...fair enough, since I was actually going to do something with this a few days ago before my muse shifted onto something else *shrugs*

Because I am notorious for being cryptic in these things to the point where future me never has a clue what the hell I had planned, I figured, for her sake, I'll write down stuff in case I look back on this later and had forgotten what I had planned.  Bleh.So, anyway, @callistochan87 has been trying to convince me to make ES an original sci-fi story for a while now. Which...I've been fighting her on merely because the uniforms are so pretty, but at the same time, I can make the story work without the magical girl aspect.  And writing magical girl stories was easier back when this was created because of the influx of fan-fics out there.  So that might be one reason this story has been sitting in limbo for the past ten+ years.

Sooo...a bit of history/plot.  About 1000 years ago, the planet of Novis was at the end of a civil war.  The Realm of Spirits had been taken over by a rogue demon who they called Lady Spirit, because they never learned her real name, who had been trying to conquer the entire planet while pretending to be the priestess of Spirits.  The other priestesses managed to defeat her, but all they could do was seal her away.  They knew eventually she was going to be able to break free, and that the only person who could truly defeat her was the priestess of light.Now, the problem is that the priestess of light had been missing for millennia, so the rulers of the other kingdoms, save for one, decided that they needed to go and find the missing priestess.  They've been searching planet to planet, living the lifespans of the people as they search.  The latest planet is Earth.

The people of Novis have been living fairly peacefully this entire time, but have just started getting reports that Lady Spirit has either started to break free, or is about to.  So the last remaining priestess sends messengers in order call back her sisters so they could take on the threat.  But the problem is no one knows who they are or what they look like.

So the basic plot of the story is searching for the reincarnated priestesses while also fighting the demons Lady Spirit sends to stop the messengers/priestesses, and then, ya know, preparing for Lady Spirit's return while also lowkey looking for the priestess of light as well (which is not Adrianna, if that's what you're thinking).

So the first set of designs is the main designs of their human forms. 

Adrianna Roderick: main character, about 16-17.  She's just this average high school girl who gets caught up in this nonsense because she finds Celedonia.  She mostly agrees to it because she kind of feels bad for Celedonia, and wants to help after hearing her story.

Jake O'Reilly: love interest, about 16-17.  He's also this average high school kid, although he's considered extremely popular for reasons he doesn't understand.  He's Addy's best friend since they were babies, since they grew up next door to each other, and he gets involved because Addy's involved.  And he's been in love with her for quite some time, so he's not about to let her do something dangerous without him.

Melanie Roland: best friend, about 16-17.  She's, well, she's the true priestess of spirits, although none of the other priestesses realize that she's been following them.  She cares deeply for both Addy and Jake, and is a general all around nice girl, for the most part.  She's the main reason Addy, and Jake by extension, end up traveling to Novis with the others.

Isabel Easton: the leader, about 17-18.  She's the most popular girl at school (or was, depending on how old I make them).  Everyone loves Isabel.  This is mostly because she's actually the priestess of water, who lead the other priestesses.  She's sort of iffy about Addy and Jake helping out at first, but she quickly comes around.

Tessa Easton: the leader's sister, about 15-16.  She's an extreme tomboy, very into sports and the like.  She and Isabel get along extremely well despite being complete and utter opposites.  In fact, it’s best not to make fun of Tessa, because Isabel will end you if you do.  Tessa is the priestess of earth, and she and the priestess of water were sisters on Novis as well.

Natsumi Fukioka: the smart one, about 18-19.  She’s the oldest of the group, and was born in Japan rather that the US.  She obviously made it a point to get her butt over to the US to meet up with the others, and she’s an international college student.  She’s also the priestess of fire.

Rachel Hamilton: ???, about 14-15.  She’s the youngest of the group, and was born in England.  But she moved to the US when she was very young because of her father’s business, so she was basically raised American.  Addy sort of knows about her prior to all this because her younger brother has a crush on her.  She’s also the priestess of lightning.

The next set of designs is basically how they look on Novis.  So, ya know, the priestesses get their original hair color back, asand then Addy and Jake get theirs thanks to being introduced to magic or some such nonsense.  I really, really like how these designs come out.  I might do something later (maybe) showing what they really, really looked like in the past, but *shrug*.  I was honestly just trying to come up with outfit designs as well as figuring out their original hair colors.

So the priestess’ names are: Spira, Naida, Demetra, Ignia, and Eletra.

The last set are just the random extra characters of the story.

Zephira: she’s the priestess that was left behind to watch over Novis and the one who sent Celedonia and Aquarius in order to let the others know about Lady Spirit’s reawakening.

Celedonia: she’s sort of the main messenger, and Zephira’s younger sister.   She took on the from of the bird there to disguise herself for whatever reason, and was attacked by something which lead her to Addy’s window.  She decides she needs some help finding the priestesses, which is why she asks Addy and Jake to assist her. 

Aquarius: he’s the other messenger sent, although he was sent by the actual people of Novis.  he takes on the form of the cat there.  He actually comes upon Isabel extremely fast, but she doesn’t quite want to go back just yet, so she pretty much keeps him a secret for a while.  He has a crush on Celedonia, although he doesn’t really want to admit it.

Felina: one of Lady Spirit’s minions who was sent to Earth in order to find the priestesses and kill them before they could return to Novis.  She’s, for the most part, a pacifistic, not really wanting to fight, but knowing in order to survive, she has to stay on Lady Spirit’s good side.  She’s a fairly young demon, all things considered, and prone to failure.

Mukesh: the other one of Lady Spirit’s minions who was sent to Earth.  He was a general in her army during the initial attack, and was just sent back to the Realm of Spirits rather than sealed like she was. where he found Felina.  He joined her again because he felt like it was his duty.  He’s completely in love with Felina, and does whatever he can to keep her safe, helping with her failures the best that he can.

Lady Spirit: the villain.  No one is quite sure where she came from, but she somehow managed to overthrow the sitting priestess and her family when Spira was rather young.  The other priestesses honestly thought she was the priestess of spirits for the longest time, until she started the war with the other kingdoms. 

So...yeah.  I realize that’s just sort of a lot for three pictures, but meh. 

(Originally, Zephira and Celedonia were going to have fairy wings, and Aquarius had gills, but I didn’t want to think of the ‘special features’ of the other people, so now they’re just, ya know, human looking aliens who have the ability to use magic.)

(Oh, and I think it’s funny looking back at old pictures and other ES stuff where I’m like TESSA IS NOT A LESBIAN, SHE TOTALLY LIKES GUYS, and now I’m like, lol, guess what?)

Domingo a la tarde, y voy por el huerto sin recordar cómo salí y llegué hasta acá. El cielo es de oro, deslumbrador, y de los naranjos caen frutas y flores. Trepo a uno, según mi costumbre antigua. Estoy un rato. Los pájaros saltan de rama en rama. Desciendo. Subo. Tomo una fruta. Al bajar, ya veo un cadáver. Vestido y tendido. Y más allá, otro. Y otro. Por todos lados, aparecen. Vestidos y tendidos. Y cada uno con el hígado destrozado o el corazón. Pero ¿quiénes son? Acaso, no me percaté y hubo una rápida guerra? En puntas de pie, voy hacia la casa; desolada paso el jardín de celedonias y “conejitos”. Adentro, no queda nadie. Voy a gritar; para qué, si nadie oye. Algunas mariposas chocan en los vidrios. Sobre la mesa hay un álbum que no conocía; al entremirarlo, veo dibujada la batalla, los cadáveres y las plantas. En blanco y negro. Y en colores. La noche cae de súbito; las luces se encienden solas. Y aparecen más cadáveres entre las plantas.

RiceLuzen's Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Life

Each of us went through to the different stages of Erik Erikson's Psychosocial Development Theory. The trust vs. mistrust, autonomy vs. shame/doubt, initiative vs. guilt, industry vs. inferiority, identity vs. confusion, intimacy vs. isolation, generativity vs. stagnation, and lastly, the integrity vs. despair. In my age, which is currently 18 years old, I experienced the trust vs mistrust stage (from infant to 18 months) until identity vs confusion (from 13 to 21 years old).

TRUST VS MISTRUST (infant to 18 months)

> I was born on February 14, 2001 in Manila. My parents gave me the name Ricel Luzen because "Ri" is for Richard (my dad), "Cel" for Celedonia (my mom), "Lu" is for Lucy (my dad's mom) and "Zen" for Zenaida (my mom's mom). In this age, my parents never fail to love and take care of me anytime and anywhere. This is the time where I don't have any control on the things that I was doing but I was lucky enough because I have them as my parents who are very patient to me. Yes, they get mad at me, they scold me whenever I did something bad, but I do know that they're just doing it because they want me to grow as a better person. I remember the time when they used to carry me and talk to me every time they wanted to for me to adapt those things. In the trust stage, as what I've said a while ago, they are consistent in doing their duties as a parent. While in the mistrust stage, they don't do the things (like their sayings/beliefs) today unlike before. For example is the "mumu" thing.

AUTONOMY VS. SHAME AND DOUBT (2-3 years old)

When I was in pre-school, I remember the time when I was used in joining different activities like singing, English speaking contest, little miss pageant, etc. Those were the times wherein I won a lot of medals and I was so happy because at a young age, I was able to do those things and encounter/explore it by myself and also with the help and support of my family. Since then, I used to love doing these things until now that I'm a teenager because this is where I enjoy my life to the fullest aside from studying and being stressed in school.

INITIATIVE VS. GUILT (3 to 6 years old)

As I grow older, I developed more in the things that I was doing in the past. Although at a young age, I already explored a lot of happy moments and exciting events but in this age, I experienced a lot of failure too. In initiative, I was able to control over the things that I wanted to do with the help of my family and older ones. In reverse, whenever I do the things that I love, I can't control the things whether it's right or wrong for me to have failure results that leads to a sense of guilt. I remember the time when I went to Hongkong Disneyland with my family and relatives. There was a time that me and my cousin was happily playing with the stroller of the baby. We were having fun and laughing together but I accidentally poured my softdrinks into his shirt. At a very young age, I laughed. Not because I want his shirt to get wet but I don't have any idea on what's happening. But later after when I realized that I did something wrong to him, I said sorry for him not to feel bad.

INDUSTRY VS. INFERIORITY

In this stage, I developed my mastery, competence, skills, tasks as a person, sense of pride, etc. where industry is in. In here, I experienced it more in my school where people are very competitive in doing such for them to get acknowledged. Me, as a student, I want to achieve my life goals. That's why, I want to excel each and every day for my parents to be proud of me. Even though things are rough and tough, I always strive hard for the best because I know in the end that it'll be all worth it. In inferiority, this is where I feel that whenever I'm doing something right or whenever I'm giving my best, I don't get the acknowledgement that I want and I deserve. That's why sometimes, I feel bad about it. But it's okay atleast I tried and give my best.

IDENTITY VS. ROLE CONFUSION (12 up to 18 years old)

Entering an adult life, 18 years of age, I already had a lot of good and bad life experiences. In identity, this is where I realized that I'm not just a somebody but I am person who has an ability to be unique like nobody else. I realized in this stage who I really am. Who is Ricel Luzen Hilario Vito as a person, friend, sister, daughter, student, influencer and others. In this stage, my self esteem and self concept enhanced. I can stand on my own and I can be an independent woman already. In role confusion, I do find and decide on the things that I want to focus on. Also, I don't set my accomplishments on the things that I don't know where I'm good at.

INTIMACY VS ISOLATION (young adulthood)

In my age today, I still do have a lot of questions in my mind especially about love. For example, is there a person who will or can love me no matter what? Is there a person that can accept my mistakes and flaws? Is there a person who can understand me how busy I am in school and in other stuffs? Is there a person who can stay with me until my last breath? There's no such thing in answering those questions because in love, we can't predict what's going to happen in the future. This time, while I'm at my dream school, Philippine Normal University, I choose to focus more on my academic activities. This is my dream therefore I will strive hard to be the best not only for me or the person who hurted me in the past or the people who told me that I can't do this and that but also for my family and for the Lord.

Too Good for Prison: Joseph stayed behind this week at Genesee County Animal Shelter as he was swapped out for another dog that went to Orleans County Correctional Facility for a training program with inmates. “Joseph is the sweetest dog,” Volunteers For Animals member Brenda Cromwell says. “He is just about perfect.” Shown here with volunteer Lynette Celedonia, the 40-pound is thought to be a Lab-Jack Russell mix. He is friendly and cute with a pink nose and brown freckles on his ears. He is available for adoption. For more information, go to www.vol4animals.org

Backlog: November 3, 2017 part 2 - Mom is Never Fun To Have Over... and more dead people

Continued from Part 1

I went back to bed after finishing up some stuff in the morning and had another dream. This one was super stressful.

In my second dream, for some reason my mom was in our house. Not only that but she FILLED OUR APARTMENT with her relatives.

In the dream, SOMEONE (not me or D) invited her over to talk for some reason, and since she's always been an ass, instead of coming alone, she brought EVERYONE over.

They were EVERYWHERE. In the work room, our bedroom, both bathrooms, the laundry area, the kitchen... and I was freaking out, trying to kick everybody out.

It was terrible because I was trying to scream at people to get the fuck out of my house, but for some reason, i was too weak to shout, and all I could manage was this weak voice that nobody could hear. Like, i'd feel the air build in my chest as I'm preparing to fus ro dah everyone out, but it came out just a little more than a whisper.

I was so frustrated. There was even a big-ass spanner/monkey wrench lying around, and I picked it up to bash people with it. I just wanted everybody out.

Same thing happened, though. I'd raise the spanner, and try to hit people with it, but at the last second, it would falter and I could barely tap them with it.

I was going around our apartment, half-scream-whispering to everyone, flailing around with a spanner, and I started noticing who was there.

In the laundry area with their backs to me and looking out onto the street were my mom's Tyang Nene (+) and Tyang Claring (+). Two moochers I've hated since childhood.

In the living room was my mom's older sister, and beside her was her husband, Gee (+) who hated us back then and was mean to us whenever we'd visit their house to borrow their phone (well I understand why, now that I'm older...).

I was trying to scream at them "GET LOST GET OUT YOU'RE DEAD YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE" but my voice just wouldn't come and I was about to cry.

I had my back to our front door, when it suddenly opened, and both my grandmas, Corazon (+) and Celedonia (+), were standing in the hallway. They looked so worried, and I was running to them, in tears, whining "Lola! They won't leave! I can't get them out!"

They stepped in through the door (lola Cora first, followed by lola Donya), and I woke up to my husband shaking me because I was freaking out in my sleep.

.... yes, even in dreams, my mom is an asshole who brings nothing but bad news. :|
