Ok but, what if their was a toy story au of Encanto? All the Madrigals are teddy bears in a room full of Barbie dolls.

Casita and the Madrigal bears are handmade by family members and the love that was imbued into each stitch is what amplified the magic that was created by abuelo Pedro’s sacrifice.

Casita is alive, but it is also manipulated to move by the little girl who owns it.

Abuela Alma bear was handed down through the generations. And was sewn back together after a disaster struck. Sadly abuelo Pedro didn’t make. He did his best to make sure his love got out in one piece.

Pepa is made out of water proof fabric because that was the only material available that the human family could afford.

Julieta is made out of old aprons, so she is very soft and sturdy. She also takes up residence on the dinner table most nights.

Bruno is made out corduroy and has green buttons as his eyes. When he “lived in the walls for ten years”, he fell in between the bed and the wall.

Isabella is seen as the “perfect toy” because she was made by the little girls older sibling and as such is just as perfect. Over time though, Isabella evolves to have her own style and personality.

Dolores Is a standard teddy bear that was made with ears just a tad too big. Over time she does fall in love with a ken doll named Mariano.

Luisa was made when the human family finally had a stable enough income that they could replenish their supplies. She was overstuffed and twice as big as the rest of the Madrigal bears, but that just made her the best bed time bear.

Camilo was made out of the parts of discarded studies, which gave him this wonderful one of a kind look.

Mirabel was the first bear the little girl made herself, so she’s a little awkward. She has a hand embroidered dress, that gains more stitching with every passing day.

Antonio was a gift from the little girl’s aunt who made the bear in celebration of a fun zoo visit.

Abeula's Thoughts

[kaleis-kingdom]

Okay so I haven’t seen Encanto yet since I wanna watch it with my family. While I don’t care about being spoiled, if you do and plan to watch it then skip this post.

I kinda wish Mirabel just… gave up on Abuela. Gave up on making her proud and just did what made her happy, not somebody else. Yeah I know the whole movie is about family, but honestly? Sometimes toxic is just toxic and you need to cut that person out of your life. From what I’ve seen, Abuela seemed to care more about the gifts then her family. I know family is important, but mental health is too, ya know? That doesn’t mean the desire to make Abeula proud isn’t there either, but she’s just accepted it.

And it turned out that Mirabel had a gift all along, correct? That… seems counterproductive. Mirabel has done just fine her entire life without a gift and has passed through every single struggle thrown to her. She got to a point where she was happy, finally having the chance to create a bond with her sisters, then it turned out what she knew was a lie and she did have a gift.

If I’m right, the other family members would loose their gifts if Maribel never had a gift, right? I’m not certain, but that sounds more interesting to me then Maribel having a gift and everybody getting their gifts back. You could do a lot with that!

Maribel and the husbands could help their family adjust to life without gifts, the village and family learning skills now they can’t rely on the miracle, perhaps finding out there are other people out there that was similar to how they were? And the Madrigals could help them from their experience, plus some reflection! Or an enemy with a gift shows up and the family and village find ways to defeat them without any gifts!

That’s just my thoughts based off of what I’ve seen though. I might make this an AU once me and my family watch it and I know more. And yes, I know it’s meant for kids. However I don’t think realized they could teach kids to deal with toxic family members despite their emotions or that you have to be the same as others to be accepted. Because those are the vibes I’m getting.

Would ya'll be interested at all if I posted parts of my Encanto o.c fic here? I'll leave some information here for you to see if you are. Also this is kind of Encanto theory on accident.

Luciana Madrigal

I don't have a name for her gift yet but she basically can summon Skeletons

She's the oldest Madrigal Grandchild as she's 24 (Dolores and Isabela are both 21 or 22 with Isabela a month or two older)

Also I saw none of them have set heights so I guess Agustin or Luisa is the tallest, with that math I look at their heights compared to the doors and Luisa looks taller than her dad by maybe an inch or two. With people saying Bruno is confirmed 5'3? I'm guessing Pepa is 5'9, Agustin is 6'1, and Luisa is 6'2/3. So since I wanted Luisa to feel like she's still Luci's little prima in the one scene I wrote I made Luciana 6'5/6.

Anyway as you can probably guess Luciana is Pepa's kid based off her matching color scheme. I haven't made her gift part of her design since I don't know how to yet.

I realized while making her I make O.C's to take other characters trauma 😅

I talk a bit about how she interacts with her Abuela on my new tiktok account

*cough* cursive_beauty *cough*

But I'll talk a bit about it here

I know Alma isn't a villain and I didn't try to write her that way but I honestly don't like her and you can probably tell in how I write

I try to have Luciana treat her Abuela with understanding while still protecting her family from her frankly abusive ways

Before you come at me think about it, Bruno left because he knew Alma would think Mirabel had fucked the magic if he showed her his vision

Mirabel/Bruno/THE WHOLE FRICKING FAMILY deserved MORE than a hug and god damn apology

Alma (and also low key the town) CONVINCED Luisa she was useless if he wasn't of physical help

Even Isabela's room looks like it was designed by Alma

When Mirabel is sneaking into Bruno's room we see Isabela and Alma walking by talking about Isabela's marriage to Mariano (sorry if spelled wrong) and Alma's like "so good, so perfect for the encanto" like bruh

Anyway that got off topic

Luciana facts:

Luciana has horrible posture, either leaning forward or backwards she's just bent constantly

Antonio and her have a 19 year age difference so aren't the closest but he loves her like he has two moms (I find this happens with age gaped siblings also I don't want to take away his amazing relationship with Mirabel just so my character looks better)

Dolores is the only one who knows that Luciana wants to send their Abuela threw the window a lot, she lowkey understands (Camilo is getting there)

Luciana is very tired, shown by the eyebags she carries around

She just has insomnia but mostly it's because her siblings and cousins find her bed very comfortable (maybe it's because she's a furnace idk)

Family things:

Dolores and Luciana have quiet time in her room

Luci also covers Dolores's ears if she notices a loud noise is coming

Camilo calls Luciana 'Luci' more than her actual name

Luciana and Camilo are pretty close despite their age differences

Since Camilo could walk and talk he's been trailing his sister, he adores her and tried to fight a kid who called her creepy (she agreed with the kid and Camilo hated that)

Luciana fights her Abeula for what Isabela should be doing a lot

Luisa gets help a lot from Luciana's Skeletons even when she says she doesn't need it

Luisa low-key has always been amazed at Luciana since most of the grandchildren took some her chores when they got their gifts

Mirabel was very happy when Luciana started including her in her chores (Luci still has a skeleton trail the girl but Mirabel can't tell since the town always has a bunch around for when Luciana is in the field)

Speaking of Luciana in the field, she works in the fields with her mother and the towns people which is why her clothes are pretty damaged

Just realized this is a bit much anywho, send an ask or comment if you want more!

Bonus!

When I first started her this is what she was supposed to look like! But then I scrapped her personality and made her taller/bigger, also her door is better now, most of this is older art from before I really got into Encanto also I know I don't have their outfits complete in some art, again it's old art

op feel free to ignore this but i feel like a lot of the fans get kinda side tracked that abeula rly IS loving and kind but she rly did lose site of it, including appearances to the town are rly important to abeula!! so to her mirabel makes them look “weak”.. apparently in one of the encanto junior novels, alma secretly wishes her gift could do a little more… it’s like she sees TOO much of herself in mirabel, oh! i remembered another fact from those novels, apparently alma sees a lot of pedro in mirabel :-) it feels like alma spent her whole life grieving in so much pain in private, truly deeply only ever loved pedro and now she needs him more than ever :-( but mirabel is a resilient child! i would want to know about mirabel in the future, too… i wish there would be an encanto 2 but i know in my heart there won’t be xD alma really does come to realize how much pain she’s put others through and changes because of it. unfortunately irl i feel like stories like this barely happen where the matriarch of a family changes for the better but like 😭 that’s the whole point of the madrigals! they all truly love one another and each of their individual relationships is important 🥺

Broke: Mirabel has a gift and it’s her empathy and connection to casita.

Woke: Casita is it’s own magical entity and Mirabel herself IS the gift. She didn’t get a power because she was born in the family to remind them that they are MORE than their power and do not need one to be a valued member of the family. Abuela lost sight of that and the Casita crumbled because of her. Just as Abuela’s candle built the house, Mirabel was born to rebuild it like Bruno predicted, so that the future/new generation of the Madrigals (like Antonio) will grow up without the pressure and lingering trauma that Abuela’s grief created.

More on the teddy bear Madrigals au:

There was fire in the air and screaming could be heard in the distance. Me and my beloved lay in the arms of our darling human. The poor dear is shaking and trying to keep quiet. The fire has reached our room and I fear that soon we will be consumed. Our human is hurriedly running through the fiery building me and my beloved in her arms. For the millionth time tonight I am glad that I do not need to draw breath, as I can see how the poor child struggles.

In her struggling haste she drops me and my beloved in favor of escaping through the window. I lunge for my beloved as she is about to be consumed by the flame. My fur is already singed and I feel exhausted, but I know what I must do.

I lift my beloved Alma as far as I can reach and she just reaches the sill. The fire has reached my paw, but I pray that I have just enough left in me to get my only love to safety. The fire begins to consume me as I look into my treasured wife’s beaded eyes. My only thought is of her safety. As she leaves I let darkness take me feeling relief because I know that I’ve done all I can. It’s okay.

It’s over now
