🌙🏵 Día de los Muertos 🥀🖤

[juliedrawz]

Guys! My heart! Yesterday evening something happened that I didn't expect AT ALL!

So it was my cousins birthday. No biggie. Just another small family get together at my aunts. Some cake, some really good dinner, boring chit chat. You name it.

And, of course, eventually, I sat ... and sat ... and got bored. So I took out my Ipad and started drawing Coco stuff, when all of the sudden I hear my Dad go in a whisper to my great cousin (She's almost 7, mind you) "Uh oh ... don't let Julie hear that!"

Too late! Sweet familiar melodies I've engraved in my heart reach my ears and I'm immersed in the movie I love more than anything! I hear Héctor talk to Miguel and that's it. I Turn my head, the child giggles and grins and boom, I scuttle closer next to her and before we know it, we are BOTH deeply in the movie. Dad shakes his head grinning, Mom beams from ear to ear as my great cousin showers me with a huricane of questions and facts.

"Did you know Ernesto's guitar is actually Héctor's"?

"Yes, sweety! I know 😂"

"Why is Imelda angry at Héctor?"

"Because she was very sad when he didn't come back."

My great cousin loudly - "But he wanted to come back!! Ernesto kept him from going!"

Me - 🫠 "Yes, sweety! I know!!" 💪😭 *so proud!!*

And she literally proceeded to ask me questions and I answered them all! Why do alebrijes look so colorful? Why does Pepita turn back into a cat? Why does Miguel turn a skeleton? Why did Ernesto snap?

She also wanted to know my top 3 and DUH, did I say, Héctor, Imelda, Ernesto! Héctor being nr 1. And she agress but says, "Héctor, Miguel, Ernesto!" And I'm just 🥹💘 (She said, Ernesto folks!! She's a clever one! She doesn't put the "Villain" stamp on him but understands (as far as child can at that age) that something went wrong with him. One day, when she's old enough, she'll get to read my book! That's for sure!

And further more, speaking of Héctor's guitar, her Dad comes around singing un poco loco and asks, "Why can't you play her un poco loco?"

Me - "Because I've only been playing for 10 months? I'm not that good yet! 🥲"

He - "Well then learn faster!" 😂

Me - 🥲 "I wish I could! Believe me ... it's not that easy!"

And great cousin asks when I will finish Héctor's guitar. OF COURSE, Dad had to tell her what I'm up to!

Me - "Soon, I hope!"

Fast forward, un poco loco comes on, we sing! My aunt comes, hears and you can see the sneer in her face 🤣 but I already have the multitude on my side! So we settle in an agreement to turn the music down slightly!

And then Imelda comes and sings, and my great cousin goes "Imelda sings sooooo good!"

And I 🥰 "Oh yes she does!"

We keep watching the movie, kid keeps asking stuff, I answer and feel like the greatest nerd ever 😆🤓 The movie ends, we clapp and cheer, and kid proceeds to ask me to draw the characters. I show her my works and she's in awe! "Wow! You can draw them like in the movie!" And I'm 🤧❤️‍🔥 (you guys know kids are darn honest, no?) It went down like oil! I felt SO good! 🤣

Anyway, we drew a little, had dinner and then she fell asleep.

Will I continue to turn my family into Coco-fans? Heck yes!

A magical forest teeming with wildlife and magical beings, a pristine lake, drama and intrigue, and a bustling small town main street, what else could you need to bring these characters to life in a magical town?

Kenai Hunt (Kenai, Brother Bear) - A BEAR!? What’s a guy to do when he’s cursed to turn into a bear at nightfall? Well, then. That’s why you’re here in Swynlake, one of the most magical places on the planet. Surely someone here can break your fuzzy little curse. Right?

Imelda Rivera (Imelda Rivera, Coco) - Some say anger is poison. You say anger is what protected you, at a time when you needed it desperately. Your anger has waned but that doesn’t mean you’ve gone soft; on the contrary, you’re more shrewd and prepared for whatever the world can throw at you than before. It’s why you mustered the courage to come to Swynlake, chasing after a mysterious clue…

Claudette La Croix (The Bimbettes, Beauty and The Beast) - Sequined costumes, a coy smile, and ginger hair adorn you as you perform nightly at Swynlake’s Court of Miracles. Oh, but what complicated feelings are hiding behind your set! A longing for a homeland you didn’t want or need to leave, a fear of being separated from your sisters so you went with them anyway, perhaps a resentment of the reason your family had to relocate? What’s really going on inside your head?

Mertle van der Westhuizen (Mertle, Lilo and Stitch) - Dance shoes, red lipstick, and a Gucci bag, three things you’re never without. Just like your three best friends! Lately, there’s been trouble in paradise. Hello? Are you the problem, is it you?

Bonnie Rockwaller (Bonnie, Kim Possible)- Some people would kill for your gift and to that you say, go ahead! Take it! You won’t lie, it’s pretty cool…a little…sometimes. But the sudden appearance of it cost you your cheerleading scholarships and you doubt you’ll ever recover. You want this “gift” gone and you’re here to make that happen!

Danielle Richards (Dog Triplet, Lady & The Tramp) - You don’t have time to waste kicking yourself for only embarking on a grand adventure now. What matters is that you’re doing it! Will reuniting with your younger brother prove to bring a welcome change to your boring life?

The idea of this, is that its taking place before Hector's murder. There days on the road, when he and Imelda are missing each other terribly, and it is slowly getting to breaking piont.

This song felt like something Hector might write, putting his feelings into words. So hes not simply singing a song, there is some real emotion behind it, though the crowd is unaware of this. This is for his Imelda.

Aaaand here's Part 3! ✨

I hope you all enjoyed Lyla's Quidditch shenanigans as much as I enjoyed drawing it out! Thank you for following along! :D

[myhusbandwouldplay]

Can we talk about this for a minute????

The way Hector motions to the family to get behind him and puts his hand out to protect them is *chef's kiss*. He's already taking the role of Patriarch of the family. 🥹

Also, how he's at the front, being the leader and ready to jump in if De La Cruz lays a finger on Imelda. 🥺💜

The twins looking out for each other is everything to me. I don't know which one is which, but one of them pulling the other back broke me. It was so sweet! 😭😭😭

This gif is everything to me. It shows how much the family loves each other and how they look out for one another. 🧡

Headcanon that Coco didn't actually know her father's name.

She was three or four when he left. As far as she was concerned, his name was Papá.

She remembered her mother singing and dancing with him, but she had no memories of Imelda actually calling Héctor by name.

And afterwards, Imelda got rid of anything that belonged to him, anything that might bear his name. She never mentioned his name again. Oscar and Felipe didn't either.

Coco had the picture, so she knew what he looked like, but not his name. Even the letters - they were all addressed to Coco, and signed "Papá." Yes, there were many parts that were for Imelda - Imelda was the one who read them to Coco, since she presumably couldn't read much more than her name - but they were for Coco, which was why she had them when Imelda began her purge.

Even if Coco had wanted to try to find out more about her father after her mother died, she couldn't. She wouldn't get very far without a name.

She spent the rest of her life clinging to a fading memory of a kind man with dark eyes and a guitar. She would take out his picture and look at it. She was glad she only had daughters, because if she'd had a son she would have been conflicted about whether to want to give her father's name as a middle name, and she didn't know it.

Miguel finally discovered his great-great-grandfather's name - well, in a believable way that he could tell everyone else, anyway - after going to the town hall and digging through old records for hours and finally discovering a marriage license for Héctor and Imelda Rivera.

Depending on when Coco died, though, she may not have been alive to see this.

Depending on whether Miguel told his great-grandmother about his adventure in the Land of the Dead, she may or may not have died still not knowing her father's name. Not until a weeping young man embraces her in the Department of Family Reunions, and, crying herself, she melts into his embrace, hugging him back, and she hears her mother's voice saying softly, "Ay, Héctor, Coco."

Buenos días Héctor.

My question is, has a person ever been confused thinking that Imelda is your mother, due to the fact that she is much older than you?

Hector: "Oh, You see… It's very hard for such a thing to happen in the land of the dead! I mean, there are so many people who tragically lose their lives earlier than expected… So it's not uncommon to see couples who appear very different in age! In short, it's normal here, usually we tend to interact without assuming what the family ties are between the members of a specific family, so if you need to know, you always ask..."

"...BUT… It wasn't our case! Yep… Unfortunately it happened in a way! Our situation was very particular, Imelda has a large clientele and many people know her and consequently know all about our family… I had the "newcomer" period within the "shoe making" family-business and well… They all thought I was the nephew at first!"

-

Imelda: "Hector, I'll take care of the clients! Please, place these in the shelf of the shoes to restore and polish!"

Hector: "Third shelf on the right! I got it! Consider it done!"

Customer: "Poor dear! The boy is so young! Is he your nephew right?"

Imelda: "Ehmmm... No, actually, he's my husband... We haven't been together for a long time but......"

Customer: "Oh, Wait... What? Is that the man who abandoned you with a little girl to raise?!?!" 😠

Imelda: "........ Si... I mean NO! It's a long story! Many things have changed now!" 😳

-

Hector: "Let's just say it was an embarrassing time!" 😅

-

My headcanon is that it must not have been easy for Hector in the early days! Some customers, especially the ladies friends of Imelda, were confused by this reconciliation...! 😅

[happyrivera]

Not bad for a dead guy😍

[whaleiumsharkspeare]

So like during the 21 years after Héctor disappeared and Ernesto became a big star, did it never occur to Imelda to wonder why all the sudden Ernesto was performing solo? If Ernesto is this hugely famous musician singing Héctor’s old songs, why isn’t Héctor singing them too? Was she so completely anti-music at that point that she never even noticed that Ernesto was performing alone and Héctor had apparently just yeeted off the face of the earth? Like I get it she was majorly hurt by what she thought was Héctor ditching her but all I’m saying is if I’m Imelda and I see Ernesto rising to fame alone after my husband left with him, some alarm bells are gonna start ringing in my head

[juliedrawz]

Look of love ♥️

I don't know how long I've been wanting to do this! And I am sooo in love with this flesh overlay thing 😍 and man, those gazes they give each other *swoon*

Also, no, I will not draw alive Héctor with the gold-tooth! I am not a fan of it with the "alive"-version 😶 I've tried it out and no ... just no 😅

Guys, I wish I could draw faster! I have so much more to do still!
