#encanto a tale of three sisters

[jacarandaaaas]

I don’t think we would have survived the argument scene if it was the book version…

[yellowcry]

Nothing unususal. Just Luisa being neurodivergent in TOTS

[hannahhook7744]

Giovanni and Dayana Espinosa Madrigal Headcanons;

His full name is Giovanni Refugio Espinosa Madrigal.

He is the adopted son of Antonio Espinosa Madrigal.

Giovanni was adopted after Antonio caught him chasing Pico the toucan all alone in the forest when he was one years old. He'd been abandoned not long before.

Antonio didn't intend to adopt the boy but it just kind of happened because he and the family got attached. In less than a day. 

He will be three years old by d3. 

Giovanni doesn't go to school and likely won't be excited when he has to because he doesn't like being away from his father and sister for long. 

He spends a lot of time at Luisa, Ryder, and his father’s Animal Sanctuary and Vet service (known simply as the Encanto Animal Sanctuary for now). It is very likely that he will inherit this business or work for them at the very least when he's older. 

Doesn't know much about musicians but his favorite song is ‘Play That Monkey Music’, which his cousins introduced him to.

He doesn't have any idea that the big sister he adores absolutely cannot stand that song. 

Giovanni is one of the few people Arlo will allow to touch his hair—even if he's a little rough with it. 

His favorite shows are ‘The Great Mouse Detective’ and ‘The Thunderbolt Adventure Hour’. 

His favorite book to be read is ‘Simón el bobito’.

Giovanni does not know he is adopted. 

He has been described as playful, friendly,  sweet, clingy, easily excitable, and even tempered as well as quiet, fun loving, odd/strange, sensitive, fair, energetic, patient, curious, eccentric. But funnily enough he’s not really shy at all. 

Not long after he was adopted Mirabel made him a toucan plushie and green, white, and black toucan quilt. 

Eventually he will have the gift of Inverse Zoolingualism—meaning he will be able to speak through animals. 

He is single (because he’s three) and he’s friends with Micha Rivera and Ballard ‘North’ Nattura. 

Giovanni loves both of his grandparents very much but if he had to pick a favorite, he'd pick Félix.

Dolores is his favorite aunt and Camilo is his favorite uncle (including their partners in that statement). 

Outside of his immediate (adult) family, Mirabel is his favorite.

Out of his cousins he's the closest to Amada, Vera, Renata, and Hugo. 

Giovanni loves climbing but isn't very good at it since he's little. He also likes playing in the mud, jumping in puddles, helping Isabela garden, putting on puppet shows, playing with bugs, playing with animals, and chasing after butterflies and fireflies. 

Antonio often takes Giovanni and Dayana canoeing because they find it fun. 

Giovanni also likes hiking/backpacking, jogging, racing, sledding, foraging/berry picking, jumping in leaf piles,  swimming, and playing games like tag, hide and seek, leapfrog, and ‘mud cooking’. 

The three year old also adores playdough and making things out of it, and playing blocks. 

Antonio has his and Dayana's drawings tapped all over the fridge and the walls of his, Ryder, and Luisa's Animal Sanctuary. 

If Giovanni gets upset, you can figure it out pretty quickly because you'll find him hiding alone in a blanket/pillow/couch cushion fort. 

Giovanni also adores finger painting, dancing, and doing obstacle courses that his family set up. As well as playing on the playground.

Being three, he also finds joy in helping his friends and family do little tasks. He's basically become the family's little quest helper.

Loves clouds for no apparent reasons. 

Loves the shows Foodie Folktales (like Veggie Tales) and Abracadabra Avenue (like Sesame Street). 

Giovanni has been given several affectionate names by the family, including but not limited to: Gio, Vanni, Giov, Anni, Little G, Mi pequeño animalito, Cazador, Lambkin, Little Bear, Honeybee, Toucan Sam, pequeño montañero, Pequeño escalador, tadpole, little treefrog, little beedle, leapfrog, ducky, duck, chicken legs, nature heart, and Regalo del bosque (meaning ‘Gift of the forest’). 

Right now, because he doesn't have his gift, he's still in the nursery. Which he shares with Juan and Javier. But when he gets his room it's very likely that it will start looking a lot like Antonio's.

Giovanni is tiny. 

Despite not being the youngest-youngest in the family, he is considered the baby of the family and everyone adores him. 

He loves playing with Antonio’s hair and getting piggyback rides. 

Giovanni's favorite dessert is Cholado. 

His favorite candy is gummi snakes but he also like poison apples. 

His favorite drink is a tie between apple juice and chocolate milk. 

And his favorite food is Empanadas. 

Giovanni is rarely seen without his toucan plushie (which he named ‘Tuca’) and  ‘blankie’. 

One time, the family went on vacation and after checking out of their hotel he realized he'd forgotten to pack Giovanni's blankie after washing it. 

That was the day they discovered that Giovanni could in fact have a complete and utter meltdown. Luckily, one of the hotel workers found it and returned it when Félix’s brother, Gabriel, returned looking for it.

Unlike his extended family, Giovanni actually has two animal companions. A jaguar cub named ‘Cúmbila’ and a baby toucan that can barely fly named ‘Papaya’. 

Surprisingly, Antonio didn't have anything to do with Giovanni getting either of them. Parce’s cub and Pico’s baby bird both just genuinely liked Giovanni despite him not being able to understand them. 

Giovanni knows all the swear words, which he informed a horrified Carlos, Hugo, Leta, and Belinda once when they got in an argument because Carlos swore ,in front of him. 

His first word was ‘papá’, his second and third words were ‘birdie’ and ‘kitty’, and his fourth word was ‘Miércoles’. Agustín was so mortified that everyone knew who was to blame immediately. 

For the longest time, Giovanni didn't seem to be afraid of anything. Always running into danger and giving Antonio grey hairs. But it turns out, he is scared of something: vacuum cleaners. 

He, like Antonio as a child, does not like baths and is always difficult about getting one. The only way Antonio can even get him into the bath half the time is the promise of bath toys and magic bubbles. 

Giovanni isn't allowed in Antonio's room unsupervised because he once nearly drowned in the river in the room but was saved by the river dolphin in it last minute. The three year old was one so he thankfully doesn't remember it very well, if at all. 

The ravenette is constantly trying to help Antonio grow his seashell collection by stuffing his pockets full of ones he finds. These ‘seashells’ aren't always sea shells. 

Giovanni talks to his stuffed animals and toys, and tries to feed them often.

He loves Luisa hugs and will pout at anyone who stops him from getting one (it's surprisingly effective at getting the donkey farmer to leave Luisa alone). 

Antonio had to take him to get rabies shots once after he was bitten by an unknown animal. It was not a fun day. 

Giovanni took it like a champ though and he got a lollipop. 

Hugo dropped Giovanni one time when holding him and cried for hours because he felt so bad. Meanwhile, a then one year old Giovanni, was giggling and yelling ‘Again! Again!’

Giovanni has the biggest and cutest brown eyes you'll ever see with dark brown (almost black) hair that curls slightly at the bottom, dimples, a mole on each cheek a couple of inches under his eyes, and pale sienna skin. He's also missing several of his baby teeth. 

His hair tangles easily and Antonio struggled a bit with learning how to take care of it because he wasn't used to Giovanni’s type of hair. But he's got it down now. 

Giovanni is sweet but he doesn't forget and if you wrong his family or friends, and don't apologize or make up for it, he will not like you solely because of it. 

One time Pepa was in a mood and made it snow. The snow ended up being so deep that it went up to Giovanni’s knees and he sank into it. 

There is a video from that day of him whining ‘Dayana! Papá! I’m stuck!’ as Antonio tries to pull him out of it with Dayana's help: It's one of Pepa’s favorite videos/pictures of Giovanni. 

Giovanni's favorite colors are turquoise, mint green, white, and red. He doesn't like the color grey. 

He, Dayana, and Antonio all get along great with Félix's brother, Gabriel. 

The ravenette can hold his breath for a surprisingly long time. 

Once asked Antonio if “Tío Parce” was his mom. Antonio is still not sure how Giovanni came to that conclusion.

He also quite likes the Monster Pets (like Pokémon) series and pretends that he, himself, is a monster pet. He freaked Camilo out while playing Monster Pet because he wasn't saying anything other than his own name. Camilo thought he'd hit his head or something but no, he was just pretending to be a Monster Pet. 

It should come as no surprise that his favorite holidays are World Animal Day, Dog Appreciation Day, and Christmas (because the three year old really wants to see a reindeer🦌, preferably Rudolph, up close). 

One time he cried because Carlos accidentally dropped his stuffed animal because he thought his plushie was alive and dropping her hurt it. 

Refers to Parce and Pico and Crispi as ‘Tío’ and Bruno’s rats as ‘Tía, Tío, primo, and prima’ all respectively.

Giovanni does not understand why they are not considered adult supervision. 

The little boy is also fully under the impression that Antonio got him from the stork. 

He is the living definition of a ball of sunshine. 

If you make him cry, you will have the fury of every Madrigal within hearing distance rain down on you before you can even blink. Literally in the sense of Arlo and Pepa, in some cases. 

Camilo suspects that Hugo's biological father, Ario Berra Ausentarse, is also Giovanni's biological father but hasn't told anyone because he doesn't have proof other than the fact the two have strikingly similar appearances and the fact that Ario hightails it out of the area whenever either of them are in his vicinity. 

The only reason he's holding the information back is that he is positive he will have to cover up the man's murder if the familia even suspects that's true. Though it's starting to look like that's going to happen regardless because Pepa is getting suspicious of the similarities between Hugo, Giovanni, and Ario. 

He has a pair of duckie shoes that he wears everywhere and he has duckie inflatable arm floaties for when he goes swimming. 

Giovanni has epilepsy. Unfortunately the family discovered this during an incident with Ligera’s gift. Ligera still feels awful about it to this day. 

Camilo tried to prank him one time by giving him a potato as a gag gift. He then proceeded to be baffled when the three year old actually seemed to like and be thankful for the gift. 

There is a video of him, Dayana, and Antonio on vacation somewhere like this one (Giovanni learned the phrase from Carlos). 

Her full name is Dayana Noemí Espinosa Madrigal. 

She is the adoptive daughter of Antonio Espinosa Madrigal.

She is eight years old by d3. 

Dayana is a student at the Encanto's only public school and wants to keep it that way. From the way her cousins describe Auradon Prep, it is not a place she wants to be. 

Antonio adopted her because she greatly reminded him of Dolores, both personality wise and looks wise, and he couldn't stand to see her look so sad. She was more planned than her younger brother, Giovanni (who was adopted a year before her), was since Antonio adopting him just kind of happened while he had much more time to think about the decision with her. 

She is very close to her adoptive father and her adoptive aunt, Dolores. 

She has a bird necklace that Pepa gave her.

She was seven when he adopted her after a year of volunteering at the Orphanage where she lived. 

Dayana is closest to José, Renata, Vera, Elmira, Princesa, and Avila out of her extended family. 

She is adorably protective of Giovanni. 

Dayana is one of the few people in the know about the casino in José’s room and even helps him run along with Avila. 

She has a blackmail book that she rarely uses. 

People overlook her a lot, hence how she has access to information in said blackmail book. 

Dayana has quite a few ideas on what she'd like to do when she grows up, including but not limited to: a private inspector, a theme park performer or owner, archeology, and a historian. 

The eight year old has been described as clever, detail-oriented, hardworking, fair, shy, graceful, grateful, curious/inquisitive, firm, patient, helpful, caring, analytical, and occasionally very blunt. 

But she is also cautious, business minded, secretive, sneaky, reserved, passionate, and aspiring. 

Dayana has the  gift of ‘monster sight’, as she calls it. This means that she can basically see monsters that nobody else can, regardless of whether she believes in them or not like the boogeyman. 

This is how everyone finds out that José does not in fact have telekinesis but a monster that he can control following him around. José included. 

Needless to say, people were more than a bit freaked/creeped out. And it was debated for a while whether this was actually a gift or not. 

The family was worried she was unwell for a while but quickly figured out that that wasn't the case. 

Dayana has a pet kitten she got recently after Dolores’ cat, Romeo, brought it home that she named ‘Smittens’. 

Dayana does see the appeal in romance but she's also still eight and thinks boys have cooties, which she does not want, thank you very much. 

Her only friend outside of the family and their love interests is Tiger Lily and Lampwick's daughter, Blue Veronica. This doesn't bother her too much however, because Dayana is picky with who she's friends with. 

Dayana is a big fan of romance novels, horror stories, and detective stories but doesn't like poetry, though most people in the Encanto assume she does. 

She is also a big fan of theme parks and the performers there, and has learned several tricks of theirs from Auratube and how-to-books. 

She absolutely adores learning about history—archaeology especially—and wants to learn as much about it as she can. 

Elmira is her favorite musician but she also likes the band ‘Aladdin and The Lamps’ quite a bit too. Though she finds their song ‘play that monkey’ music to be overrated. 

She doesn't like The Dragon Slayers. She thinks they're too loud. 

Her favorite show is ‘the great mouse detective’ but she also likes watching the ‘Young and the Crownless’ and the ‘Real Princesses Of Charmingsville’. She's technically not supposed to but she's sneaky and rarely gets caught. 

Helped Bruno improve the mysteries in a couple of his Telenovelas.

Her favorite holiday is Valentine's Day.

Her favorite candy is gummi snakes.

She's been to the Heroes and Heroines Festival as well as the Seaside festival, and she adores both of them and hopes that she can go to them again. 

Dayana doesn't like Unification Day or the King Beast Honorary Holiday. She's been trying to understand why they exist lately but Antonio isn't really sure how to explain that. 

But she does like going to the ‘Museum of Cultural History’. It's one of her favorite places in Auradon.

She can't sing. 

Her favorite book to be read is ‘The Enchanted Life of Valentina Mejía’.

She isn't good at video games and doesn't like playing them but she understands why people would find them fun. They just aren't for her. 

Her favorite colors are red and gold but she prefers red. She hates the color orange though. 

Dayana is a surprisingly good climber and has given various family members a heart attack by climbing into faces she really shouldn't be able to reach. Like treetops, the cabinets, and the roof of Casita, for instance. 

She's very sensitive to what happens to animals and once tackled and punched a boy on the playground after seeing him kick a squirrel. Pepa was very proud.

Dayana carries a magnifying glass around with her in her bag. It is very fun to look through when bored.

She wants to learn how to surf but hasn't had the opportunity yet. 

But she has started learning gymnastics, which she finds just as fun. 

She is probably part of the reason José hasn't gotten running his casino. 

José splits his profits with her and Avila. 

Dayana can shut almost anybody down with a stare: she doesn't hesitate to use this ‘power’ to shut up anyone who tries to badmouth her friends and family. 

She’s a very sickly child—though thankfully nothing serious—somehow she almost always manages to catch a cold. 

She gets road rage even if she isn't the one driving. Which, you know, she never is since she's eight. 

Dayana is a nail biter.

She wants to meet Rudolph so badly that it's not even funny. 

She thinks Evie is very pretty and very nice, and if she had a favorite ak, it would be Evie. 

The girl didn't know how to read until Antonio taught her using the method his parents used to teach him when he first started volunteering at the orphanage when she was six. 

Dayana has a very high tolerance for sour, salty, and spicy food. 

She doesn't own a single pair of matching socks. Somehow she always loses one of them and it drives her crazy. 

She likes watching and feeding the birds. She also likes watching the butterflies. 

Mirabel is teaching her how to ride a horse. 

Loves catching fireflies and butterflies. 

Dayana is thinking about taking up falconry and beekeeping when she's older but isn't sure of it. 

She's also taken up wildlife photography after Antonio showed her how much fun it could be. 

The moment Antonio started thinking about adopting her, her door appeared— he doesn't know if it was a sign or if it was just because her birthday was a couple of days away but it's what convinced him that it wouldn't be a bad idea to adopt her.

The day Dayana was adopted, the Madrigal Family had a party for her— complete with gifts and everything. She cried.

She was very spoiled that day. It was really overwhelming but also nice. 

That day Mirabel gave her a handmade red and gold sea monster quilt along with a stuffed toucan with four eyes. Dayana named it ‘Bug Eyes’.

Dolores reads to her often when they spend time together since they both enjoy it. 

Dayana is very interested in the supernatural and cryptology. 

She also wants to know how the Encanto was created and is exploring the mystery in the hopes of finding the answer that no one knows the truth to.

Out of the family, Dayana is the most likely to adopt a monster/cryptid without a second thought.

She is also second most likely to take part in leverage-like heists, with José being the first most likely one. 

Dayana's favorite food is Encanto River Crispy Fried Fish. 

Her favorite dessert is Guava Treasure Cups. She also likes pumpkin pastries.

Her favorite drink is Passion Fruit Butterfly Bliss. 

She likes swimming with the fishes and she likes fishing.

Dayana is one of the few people Arlo will allow to touch his hair. 

Dayana is secretly afraid that if she messes up her family will no longer love her and send her back to the orphanage they got her from.

She's also afraid of getting rabies and does her best not to get bitten by any of the animals she hangs out with.

She doesn't like going to cemeteries because they scare her. 

Dayana can often be found digging around the Encanto, mainly Casita, for fossils and old remnants from history.

She is also fond of mushrooms and plant life—both fictional and real.

Her door shows her peering behind her shoulder at a towering shadow figure that’s grabbing her shoulder. The door frame is red.

The walls in Dayana’s room are a dark red color with a pattern of golden figures of cryptid, the ceiling looks like it was ripped right out of a fairytale with art of monsters, and the floor is made of a white and gold marble.

There are vines dangling from the corners of the ceiling and on the spots of the wall where there aren’t any figures of cryptids there are drawings of animals and cryptids and photos of her immediate family and wildlife. 

She has a waterbed in which her stuffed animals, quilt, and feather filled pillows in one corner of the room with a dark wooden nightstand bedside it. On that nightstand rests a mushroom shaped lamp along with a framed photo of her, Antonio, and Giovanni at the animal sanctuary taken a couple of days after she was adopted. 

She has a walk-in closet filled with shoes and clothes. In the back of her closet is a bookcase filled with detective, horror, and romance novels along with cryptology and wildlife books.

Across from Dayana’s bed is a comfy mushroom rolling chair and a desk where she can read and draw. Above her desk is a tv embedded in the wall where she can watch her favorite shows and listen to music. 

She also has a fairy shaped toy chest beside that and a little area where her little detective kit is. There’s also another door on the side where her photography darkroom is.

When Dayana gets overwhelmed outside of her room she is not able to shut the monsters out of her sight and when she gets overwhelmed inside of her room, the monsters on the wall light up and come to life to defend her.

Edit by @igetthedisneybox :

My edit of them with Antonio:

[honeybeebytheseaa]

If we ever get another Encanto book I REALLY want it to be about Isabela and Dolores growing up as the new generation of madrigals, and all the pressure that comes with it. Although not directly focused on it’s made clear that Dolores holds some jealously towards Isabela, whether it be Mariano or the attention she receives over her. Like the tale of three sisters, I could see it switching between their POV’s starting from a young age before their siblings are born.

[ SIBLING DEATH MENTION ]

Oliver was born the product of his father's illegitimacy not far from Salt Lake City, dumped in the side garage with the faulty lock on New Year's Day. A devastating atom bomb to the most nuclear of all families. Golden Labrador, white picket fence and one child into their 'maybe this year' run for a dozen included. Two weeks, a cryptic pregnancy tale and some hard suspicion later, Hannah 'had' Ollie and unbeknownst to him he's been paying for it ever since.

Luke was eight years older than Ollie, who the church now hailed a miracle child after so long without blessings. He was a good big brother, Oliver remembers that well, who never copied the critical manner the adults around them had toward him. A few months after graduating high school and his sister's second birthday, they got the phone call that he was gone.

Life as he knew it caved in around them, their mom didn't get out of bed for a year and a half. They moved twice before leaving Utah entirely. Ollie shouldered the burden. He showered his younger siblings every morning, made them breakfast, got them to doctor's appointments, and ran the house though they hated him for acting like a parent when he wasn’t. 

He had to learn fast that the Latter Day Saints manner freaked most people out even more so the further away from Salt Lake they drove. The Stepford Wife, Brady Bunch, Donna Reed Uncanny Valley too perfect of it all needed to be dialed way down if they were going to survive.

Nicole, Courtney, Austin and Zach were raised almost entirely by Ollie though they couldn't escape being homeschooled. Nicole is fifteen at the oldest, currently. The Martinez house is about forty minutes outside of Stonehaven in the woods.

Oliver knew that this was his one and only chance as the mythical new kid to reinvent his image. To craft exactly what he wanted to be; not the family punching bag or the let-down but some impossible golden boy with no cares or scratches or dents. He observed, learning quickly how to become a reflective surface and give everyone back exactly what they wanted to see, never quite letting anyone close enough to break the facade. People know his family is religious, not that they're Mormon.

Always in a ridiculous amount of extracurriculars, on multiple sports teams never quite a super-star but consistently good with a few random spells of luck that gave him gold or memorable moments. Joined voluntary committees a lot. Basically all his family ever did at home was family night: board games, musical performances, talent shows, little plays, and sports in the yard. You can never win against Oliver in card games.

Oliver's image is painstakingly squeaky clean, though he comes off as fairly effortless it's held together by pure stress and winging it. His family expect a saint, they compare him to the Church and to the perfect ghost of his older brother so he'll never win.

He's always been lucky, with people, how seemingly just talking could get his foot into doors and un-crease furrowed brows. A neatly paved path of opportunities in his favour giving him the foundation for success. Half of him feels powerful, achievement tangible and the other half is sick at how unhappy he is.

His parents need to divorce but they were 'married before the eyes of God for all eternity' so Ollie knows he couldn't bring that up.

Best sport is ice hockey, played soccer, ran track, on the swim and baseball teams. Boy Scouts of America love this man.

Hardly dated anyone for the first eighteen years of his life. He was squeaky clean, when he didn't go on his mission as soon as he graduated and didn't go to a Utah or Mormon-approved college he figured if he was going to hell he might as well do it thoroughly. Whenever he reached the bar they just moved it anyway.

Ollie is the friend in high school whose house you'd never been to. Rides a bicycle wherever he needs to go, in all weathers.

WDTAJN, Part 1: Memes/Comedy

This is the first part of a four-part fic for @wdtajn. Four visions that Bruno did not mean to have, and the truth they ultimately revealed.

In which Agustín, Félix, and Bruno get into trouble.

In the sand of Bruno's tower, in a solemn circle, sat Bruno, Agustín, and Félix. They sat in a ring with thoughtful expressions, not unlike the kind of ring formed by local hopefuls, who came to the tower for Bruno's visions of the future. But it was obvious on sight, to anyone who knew Bruno, that they weren't conducting any kind of vision of the future. Bruno was far too relaxed; he sat cross-legged, a plate of cocadas in his lap, chewing slowly as Agustín and Félix conferred, the pallor of his face looking tired and unhealthy. It was June 1, 1921, and Bruno was having one of those mornings.

"Chummy," said Agustín, "Behaving in a kind and pleasant way."

"Too early," said Félix, "Go forward a few."

Agustín paused to adjust his glasses. A battered book, old and clearly cherished, sat on his lap; he flicked through the pages of the Encanto's only English dictionary. Félix and Bruno watched eagerly as he read and translated.

"Chunk. A roughly cut piece: informally, a part of something, especially a large part."

"Large!" Félix snapped his fingers. "Like big. Could that be important?"

"I don't think it's that," muttered Bruno thoughtfully.

The three of them returned their solemn attention to the vision plate at the centre of the circle. It showed a strange, flat illustration, like one drawn for a child's book, of a smiling rabbit on two feet. Inscribed above it were the words:

BIG CHUNGUS

"Maybe it's Latin," said Agustín thoughtfully.

He shut the book with a snap, leaving them staring blankly at the vision, out of leads.

"Maybe it's just his name. He's a fat rabbit, he's big, so they call him Big Chungus. Like a fairy tale." Félix shook his head. "I'm telling you, man, not all these random visions have to mean anything."

"Yeah, well, if I knew what it did mean then we could know that for sure," groaned Bruno. "If Big Chungus is bad and it's coming for us, we're doomed. Or at least, I'm doomed, because Mamá is going to kill me for it. Yeesh!"

He unhappily threw a handful of salt over his shoulder. Agustín and Félix exchanged glances.

"I think he looks polite?" Agustín offered.

Bruno sighed heavily.

"I still think we can just hide this one from Doña Alma. What she doesn't know can't hurt her! She doesn't need to know about this one vision." Félix picked up the vision. "We could take it, smash it, maybe hide the pieces..."

"No!" Bruno's response was uncharacteristically forceful. "I mean, uhh, no. No, no smashing visions. If it becomes important later and I don't have it then -- then -- kn-kn-knock on wood..." 

"Bruno," said Agustín gently, "I don't think Big Chungus is gonna be important later."

"Tell that to my mom," said Bruno bitterly. "You want to marry my sister? No destroying visions."

He sank back into the sand, as though the idea was enough to make him faint. Agustín and Félix leaned over to watch him.

"You stress out too much, my friend," said Félix.

"Tell me about it," muttered Bruno.

Agustín took one of the cocados from the plate. "Eat," he said, "Juli said it'd help. How's your head?"

"Bad." Bruno scowled as Agustín held a cocada over his face, as though offering to feed it to him. "I feel like I'm gonna have another vision."

"Well...that's good?" offered Félix. "Maybe it'll tell you more about Bigito."

They both looked at him.

"What?" said Félix defensively. "He's just a rabbit."

"He's got a point," said Agustín. "If you're gonna have a vision anyway, why don't you try focusing a little and see if you can figure him out? It can't hurt."

"It can hurt," said Bruno gloomily. "It can definitely hurt."

Nonetheless, they seemed to be making a dent in his attitude. He looked at the vision again, his brow furrowing doubtfully.

"I mean, days like this, you keep having visions, yeah?" said Félix. "You can't stop 'em, they make you sick, you might as well make 'em work for you."

Bruno hesitated. Agustín continued to hover over him, holding a cocada concernedly, and eventually Bruno rather grouchily opened his mouth and accepted it.

"Mmf," he said, through a mouthful of crumbs, "Wish I could turn 'em off."

He sat back up and held out his hands. Félix took one, Agustín the other, and the two men held hands to form a ring. Félix caught Bruno's eye and grinned.

"The Madrigal boys on a Saturday," said Félix.

"You don't know Pepa will marry you," chuckled Agustín.

"Please. With these lips? This ass?"

"What would I know about your ass?"

"You've seen enough of me, haven't you? And you tasted--"

Bruno threw back his head and gasped, shocking the other two into silence. His eyes, brightly ringed with emerald, stared vacantly at the ceiling; he tightened his grip on Agustín and Félix's hands, and they stared as a tornado of sand began to form in the centre of the ring.

"Bruno!" shouted Agustín, raising his voice over the wind. "You good? No pain?"

Bruno opened his mouth and no words escaped; an emerald glow from somewhere inside him shone from the back of his throat, spilling eerie light over his face. Agustín and Félix looked at each other, worried and doubtful, as the tornado swirled, showing no clear image of the future but just spiralling flurries of sand and light.

Then, with a pop!, it was over. As fast as it had started, the wind died, the same fell, and Bruno went limp again, only the hands of the other two men keeping him upright.

"Guhhh," he managed, as Agustín clicked his tongue at Félix and they supported him under the arms, laying him back in the sand.

"Are you okay?" said Félix, looking at his pale, sweating face and closed eyes. "Did it work? Do you feel better?"

"Julieta said that visions help relieve the pressure in his head," said Agustín, "Eat, Bruno, eat. What did you see?"

Bruno raised a hand, then weakly raised a finger, licked his lips, and said, "I knew... it meant... something bad would happen... to us."

Félix and Agustín looked black to the centre of the circle.

This vision had jagged edges and warped glass. It looked messy, but it was still clear to see, depicted in the two halves of the plate...

Félix clamped his hand over his mouth and suppressed a laugh as Agustín tried to shush him.

On one half, a miserable Bruno, older and even more tired. On the other, Agustín and Félix, older as well, with big confused smiles. In their hands were cards, in the background were lines, and they recognised only from books the image depicted.

They were being arrested. All three of them. Bruno was miserable. Félix and Agustín were laughing.

In the sand, Bruno slapped his eyes with his hands.

"That doesn't look so b-" began Agustín.

"We're going to jail," said Bruno, his voice hollow and scared. "I have to tell Mamá."

Agustín and Félix immediately stiffened. Félix jogged Bruno's elbow.

"Whoa, whoa, Bruno, this can't happen for years, right? And we're smiling in this vision, aren't we? It can't be -- I mean, your mom is gonna..." 

"She has to know!" Bruno fixed his panicky eyes on Félix's. "We have to know when bad things are going to happen, how else can we be safe?!" Then, in a different, smaller voice: "I shouldn't have looked."

"Hey, Bruno, it's okay--" Agustín began, and Bruno suddenly sat up, startling both of them.

"Leave!" he said, his voice frantic and catching. "Don't you get it?! Seeing these visions will just make bad things happen! Jail, Mamá, whatever! Get out! Get out! S--" his voice wobbled. "Stop trying to feed me that cocada."

"Health is important," said Félix lamely, withdrawing the biscuit.

"Bruno, we can leave, no problem, it's your room," said Agustín, worried, "But you don't have to say that, I mean... you're our friend too, you know, and..."

"Thank you," said Bruno, looking and sounding fainter by the moment. "Thank you, thank you, thank you, but you should go, just go now, alright? I'll tell... I'll try... I'm sorry..."

"Brunito," said Félix, "Gordo, you don't have to..."

Agustín placed a hand on Félix's shoulder. "No, it's okay, Bruno, we'll go," he said. "I'll tell Juli. You, you want help suppressing the visions?"

Bruno groaned. "Yes. Yes please. Good luck. Hope my mom doesn't hate you."

Agustín's smile wobbled at the mention of Alma's opinion. Félix patted him on the shoulder, and they cast him one more worried glance, and then finally they left, leaving the unhappy Bruno prostrate in the sand, his two bizarre images lying beside him.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Of course, later on it would be 1951, and Félix would help his friend Officer Paulo repaint la comisaría, and Paulo would hold up one of the cards and suggest a photoshoot. But by then they were married, and Mirabel hadn't gotten her Gift, and Bruno had suppressed more visions than could ever be taken back.

But Bruno would laugh about it. Eventually. It would just take many years, and more than a little horrible, mindless terror.)

Descendants Headcanons/Wickedverse Guide

Some of these aren't so much "headcanons" as things I'm using in my post-canon universe, named the Wickedverse. Me and my sister share this universe, so she has a lot of influence with some of these. Will get updated as I add/change ideas.

Lore

Centuries before Auradon was formed, there was a great war between the kingdoms. After years of fighting, they made an agreement on territory and everyone closed their borders. This lead to kingdoms/cities to develop at different rates, due to different resources. Many years later, all the fairytales/stories happen over the course of seven years or so. Then, Auradon is formed.

The formation of Auradon (and the Isle) created the Age of Goodness (AOG). Upon it's creation, was year 1.

Since Descendants takes place twenty years after the AOG, it is year twenty

The first Isle book takes place in the July before Descendants. Descendants occurs in September-October (as Ben's birthday is in October), and Wicked World happens in November. The second and third Isle books take place in January of year 21. Since D2 takes place six months after D1 it occurs in March of 21. The fourth Isle book takes place in May of 22. D3, taking place after the older have graduated, occurs in June of year 22.

Some other Disney properties are included that aren't specifically mention in canon: Frozen, Frozen II, Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure (TV series), Encanto, Big Hero 6, Raya, and definitely more.

Mal and Ben's wedding is on the 13th of April, almost a year after D3.

Sometime after D3, the Isle of the Lost is renamed the Isle of the Found.

Family

Uma and Freddie are twin sisters, having been separated after Dr. Facilier and Ursula broke up. Freddie and Uma were unaware of this, and found out in the events of Never Knew I Lost You (coming soon).

In addition, Celia has a different mother, an OC named Lauren.

This is also why Facilier seemed to dislike Freddie (though, her abuse portrayed in the Wickedverse is probably worse than it is in canon), as he dislikes her mother. Whereas he favored Celia, since he likes her mother. Also why Ursula didn't care much about Uma, having become despondent after losing her partner and daughter.

King Philip has three sisters, Brigitte, Bianca, and Marya, taken from the book A Twisted Tale: Once Upon a Dream by Liz Braswell. Bianca is Ariana's mother and Marya has a daughter named Naomi.

Lumiere is married to Fairy Godmother, and is Jane's father.

Evie and Dizzy have the same father, Hans, making them half-sisters.

Doug's mother, named Clarita in this universe, is from Encanto. Agustin is her maternal uncle, making him Doug's great uncle.

Jay's mother was a woman from Agrabah named Lulu. She dealt in some shady business, thus why she was sent to the Isle. She died from an illness when Jay was five.

The sea witches mentioned in the first Isle book are Morgana's daughter, and Uma's cousins, instead of sisters.

Hadie's mother is an OC named Lian Teng. She is the sister of one of the Huns that survived the avalanche. He was all she had, so she followed him to the Isle. She worked in Hades's Souvlaki and her and Hades had a brief relationship a while after his break up with Maleficent. Hadie is three years younger than Mal.

Harriet, Harry, and CJ's mother is a woman named Red Jessica from Jake and the Neverland Pirates TV series. However, she is only the same character; her role and relationship with Hook is different in the Wickedverse than the cartoon.

Carlos's father is Bruno Madrigal from Encanto (inspired by @silverloreley 's headcanon and discussions). Bruno had a bad vision about Cruella and went to warn her about it. They had an unexpected connection, and one thing led to another.

Melody (from the Little Mermaid sequel) and Zephyr (from the Hunchback of Notre Dame sequel) are married and have a (currently unamed) child.

Friendships

Prior to the events of Wicked World, and possibly D1, Jordan and Ally become best friends after Jordan helps Ally out of a bad relationship.

Jane and Freddie become best friends during the events of Wicked World.

Likewise, Uma and Audrey become best friends sometime after the events of Descendants 3.

Because of the discovery of Uma and Freddie being twins, they start spending time together. To not leave Jane and Audrey out, the four of them hang out together often, forming a friend group similar to the Core Four.

A few months before the Bal wedding, Lonnie and CJ meet and become best friends.

Characters

As a reason for why Carlos was not at Mal and Ben's wedding (and why the rest of the Core Four were sad about it), he develops COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and goes into a coma a couple weeks before the wedding. He wakes up a few weeks afterwards.

Some last name headcanons:

Dwarf last names are from gems and the Seven Dwarves' last name is Lazuli, from lapis lazuli. This makes Doug's full name Doug Lazuli.

Maleficent and Mal's last name is Dragonheart, making Mal's full name Maleficent "Mal" Bertha Dragonheart.

Ben's last name is Leroi, meaning "the king" in French (taken from @hitchell-mope)

Evie's last name is Grimhilde, mostly taken from the fandom.

Jane's last name is Faery, and Fairy Godmother's real name is Joan.

Audrey gives up her birthright to rule Auroria, deciding that isn't the path for her. Naomi will rule Auroria instead. (Which was also what they were planning to do when they thought Audrey would be queen of Auradon).

Uma becomes leader of the Isle after D3, with Harry, Gil, and her crew acting as her advisors/council/soldiers.

OCs

Varian and Cassandra (from the Tangles series) are married and have two kids, Caelan and Valeria.

Anna and Kristoff are married and two sons, Alaric and Kade.

Raya has a son named River.

Maleficent has a younger brother named Kaveh, who comes to Auradon a few years after D3 to help stop a new threat. He previously lived in the Moorlands, the ancestral home of dark fairies and Maleficent's homeland.

Ally has a (currently unnamed) older brother.

Snow White and Prince Florian have a (currently unnamed) child.

Scar (who was turned into a human before being put on the Isle) has a daughter named Safiya.

Mirabel is married to a man named Rico and they have two kids, Anabel and Matteo. Others from Encanto also have kids, but most are currently unnamed.

Things I'd want from a new Little Mermaid, which was my favorite Disney movie as a little girl. I've read nothing about the live action other than the actors so this is just me rambling about what I'd like to do if somehow I were writing it lol.

More significant relationship build up. What Eric and Ariel have in the Disney movie is infatuation - infatuation that gets a pass because it's a children's movie and a fairy tale. But I'd love to see more. I don't need them to see discussing how many kids they'll have and whether they'll have a joint bank account. Just you know. Something more than bonding over Punch and Judy.

A memorable part of the storyline for Ariel's sisters. In the Andersen story, the sisters play a critical role, so that would be a nice nod. And, given the awesome sisterhood we've seen in Frozen and Encanto, it would be cool to see it in a live action too.

Seawitch with clear motivation and backstory. I don't really jive with "she's Triton's banished sister" but it's a start anyway. Ursula has a lot of personality, all she needs is more interesting motivation. For example, why does she have tentacles? Was she cursed? Did she choose them? Where did she learn her magic? Isn't there anyone with a grudge against her for turning a loved one into a seaweed thingy?? I don't need antihero Ursula (though I might be into it), but there are so many interesting things you can do with her as a villain.

Probably most importantly - I want Ariel's curiosity and adventurous spirit to continue beyond falling in love with Eric. It is not surprising that, given she has only three days, the falling in love adventure would take precedence. But since we don't get to see Ariel after, all we remember of her is how she fell in love at first sight, made very questionable choices in pursuit of that love, and gave up everything she ever knew for him in the end anyway. I'd really, really love to see Ariel without her voice impressing Eric with her eagerness to learn - not just being cute and lively as she gazes in wonder at a fork and sticks it in her hair. (Which is one of my favorite Disney scenes.)

Aaaaand... I'd just really like the stakes at the end of the movie to be more complex. She doesn't need to turn into bubbles, but some marriage of the little mermaid's self-sacrificing love with the courage and hope of Ariel - would be the icing on the cake.

[jacarandaaaas]

so I’ve been re reading the tale of three sisters book and wanted to talk about a subtle implication in one of the scenes that adds a bit more nuance to the kitchen scene in the movie.

In the moments before “waiting on a miracle” we see how alma praises antonio the same way she did to mirabel before her ceremony and mirabel describes this feeling as like having a scab on your knee.

scabs are what occurs when healing happens naturally, aka no magic food to magically close the wounds. Which makes me assume if mirabel is used to having scabs how often does she actually go to her mother to be healed from injuries? We see in the movie how mirabel doesn’t even mention that she cut her hand until julieta brings her into the kitchen to heal it.

She even states here julieta “made” her come into the kitchen to be healed. So I’m beginning to think mirabel actually avoids going to julieta to be healed on purpose. After all we saw how in the movie julieta wanted her to open up about her feelings but mirabel pushes her away.

Because for mirabel julieta wants to discuss her emotional wounds as well as the physical ones, and mirabel would rather do anything else than admit her problems to her mother. So she avoids her when she injures herself, not wanting to be seen as another nuisance or screw up not wanting to be seen as vulnerable or pitied like “a small child”.

[yellowcry]

I want to read the tale of three sisters in English so much. But all shops only sells it translated. And online libraries ask for a credit card. And since I live under occupation I have some shit instead of a card that works nowhere but ruzzia and the territory it annexed

Book Reviews: Encanto - A Tale of Three Sisters by Disney Books

10/10 In this adaptation of the Disney movie ‘Encanto’, we get not only Mirabel’s perspective, but also Luisa’s and Isabela’s perspectives as well. With the same enchanting, magical story as told by the movie, we dive into la familia Madrigal and their magical gifts. Mirabel, who is the only one to have not received a gift, discovers that the magic is weakening and there are cracks in their…

[droppingdonkeys]

「(°ヘ°): How does one calm them down when they are freaking out? Do they prefer physical comfort, or would they rather be left alone?

Physical Detail Ask Meme

As per 'A tale of three sisters', Luisa has panic attacks. In Encanto she has two breakdowns (after Mirabel goes to Bruno's room, and during the dinnerscene).

Luisa bottles up almost everything, and would feel very embarassed during/after her panic and prefer to be alone. BUT! I think Luisa would need to be grounded by having someone else be with her (preferably family, close friends and/or S.O.) to either hold her (hand holding, hugs) and count the things she can see, hear, etc.

this is part where I recommend everyone who is interested in cool sisters to read encanto: a tale of three sisters! it’s got each girls pov in the movie but still manages to add little nuances to each of them! even though we follow mirabel for the movie I find that we get even more of an insight on how her brain works in this book!

the encanto fandom did their due diligence for the warm siblings and gave them mostly nice/good characterization with each other and on their own and i just

don't know what the hell happened when it came to the madrigal sisters i am DYING for good content for them that isn't bashing any of them like pLEASE

heya, sorry for being a bit late answering this, my brain has not been working coherently for the past couple of days

but yes, for real!!! it's really wild how the warm siblings, the ones who unfortunately don't have much content and screen time on them in the movie, are given mostly nice and good characterization, while the cool sisters who have so much screen time and content and backstory to them, are the ones left in the dust and are the ones paying the price that is ooc-ness

like, where is the respect and love for them too?? genuinely want to scream out loud about this (not to say there isn't any respect and love for them, obviously, because there are, but even back then when i wasn't in the fandom and wasn't even familiar with the movie itself, i saw the very obvious attention disparity between the cool family and the warm family, which ofc affected quite a lot of things, like the characterizations for example)

but then again, maybe just as it may seem wild, the fact of screen time could also be the reason as to why the warm siblings have the more or less good characterization in the first place, because the fandom sort of have more freedom to create the characters based on what little is already known from content we have and what they'd personally like about the character

and for the cool sisters, some people either don't like what they saw in the movie (*cough* isa *cough*) or are projected a little too hard on (*cough* mirabel *cough*) or just straight up don't get content in general by the fandom (*cough* luisa *cough*), which led a good portion of the fandom to completely and unfortunately decimate their characters and characterizations

which is. frustrating as hell

AND GOD YES, good content for the madrigal sisters are so hard to find that i am practically on my knees pleading for something that isnt ooc or bashing/hating on them

ngl, im honestly really glad that i joined recently and not during the peak years of the fandom, because i know i wouldn't be surviving back then when the sort of disparity was likely worse 😭

sigh, trying to find good content is so hard and frustrating

i love all of these kids so much, but PLEASE where is the respect for the cool sisters, encanto fandom 😔
