I hadn’t heard about the Juri manga!!! How exciting!

menos mal en mi familia somos tantos que el asunto se volvio no obligatorio en virtud de "somos un chingo no mamen" XD Y una amiga pudo comprarse la figura de Rin... dice que si llena su vacio interior XD

Me has sacado las palabras de la boca, pero me dejaste con una duda: cómo es ese pinche tradicional de tu país? Ciertamente no es una tradición aquí.

Al parecer que no se hace en todo mi país, no sé si sea exclusivo de la región donde vivo, pero básicamente el ponche es así:

Se toma una olla lo suficientemente grande como para meter a un bebé de un año (nota: no hay que meter ningún bebé) se pone agua, tamarindo y/o jamaica, algo de canela y se deja hirviendo. En una olla aparte se dejan cociendo los tejocotes (una frutilla pequeña) para que se ablanden y sea más fácil pelarlos y quitarles la semilla (este paso es solo para los que les gusta trabajar mucho, yo creo). Cuando el agua ya esté lista se agrega manzana, pera, guayaba, nueces, ciruelas, pasas y tejocotes. Se endulza con piloncillo.  Este ponche suele servirse calientito en una taza o un vaso de unicel  y se entrega a las personas que van llegando a la posada. Es algo que se agradece porque quita el frío. Por la clase de ingredientes que tiene, no recomiendo tomar más de dos vasos de ponche si no deseas que tu estómago reaccione de formas incovenientes. Algunos ponches también tienen pedazos de caña, creo que varía según quien los haga.

Encuentro muy curiosa la existencia de Captain Tsubasa, no parece tan infinitamente famosa como otros shonen pero le hacen nuevas adaptaciones cada tanto años...

justo ando releyendo el primer tomo para ya finalmente aventarme los otros dos que ya llegaron ajajajaa XD (eran mi ultimo pendiente de clamp)

we have a lot of similar difficulties to disordered systems including-due to our partial trauma origins- messy splits and triggers, as well as emotional amnesia (I.E. we get emotionally detached from stuff that other members experience but still remember what happened. most of the time). it's not a lack of difficulty by any means. i dont think it can be something that lacks difficulty altogether. we're people and no two people are going to get along perfectly or have zero difficulties living together or sharing things- in this case, a body.

what stops us from being disordered is that we are able to minimize the frequency of those difficulties, and prevent them from turning into larger issues by keeping our communication open so we can support each other in recovering from the trauma stuff, help people kick bad habits, and generally help each other manage the difficulties of the whole system thing like using and taking care of a body and external life that isn't ours, all the stuff surrounding the complexity of fronting, innerworld drama, all that stuff. we owe this to our endogenic members, who are predisposed to be better at internal communicating (though a lot of us are kindof bad at talking to people outside of the body lmao but thats on neurodivergence) and who work constantly to break and keep down communication barriers between them and traumagenic members.

i hope this makes sense. i'm co- conscious with a couple of people and a bit blurred.

(Hey, it's M now!)

Thank you for telling us!! It makes a lot of sense we'd have so many similarities, since, well, we've both been through some trauma but some of our members are less traumatised than others. For one, I'm pretty functional compared to others, and some of us are much better at social interactions than others, so we patch up for each other. Kind of do our own thing but... collectively, so that we don't end up flopping too bad in any given circumstances.

It happened a lot before! Because we couldn't tap into each other's skills or communicate that somebody needed to take over, and then there was the whole active blocking thing that the host did to keep us "safe", so we couldn't really come out much at all. It was all done behind the scenes and it wasn't really working too well, our functionality overall was very low during those years. It's better now, though! We're learning to share and take responsibility together, so nobody has to do things they're not comfortable with alone.
