5: Julieta is Tired

Meanwhile...as the encanto grows, so does the demand for Julieta’s cooking. Julieta wishes they wouldn’t assume she can feed everyone, at every occasion. She’s so tired.

If I was Camilo I would’ve pissed myself, before I even saw it’s true form.

Even after all this time, this dumbass keeps coming back to haunt my ass

Send some support! Her stuffs are great!

I accidentally deleted my old tumblr account :/ so if I'm stuck having to start over from scratch I may as well start with reposting my most popular comic. Before this was posted in separate pieces at least now it's all in one and in order. Insight into Bruno's depression and the way his mental health impacts the people around him. From his sobrina struggling with the weight of knowing he's struggling without understanding why to his hermana feeling bitter and abandoned by his withdrawal because she's struggling in her own trauma and doesn't understand the way Bruno reacts to his trauma.

🕯️DESENCANTO: AU FANCOMIC

Chapter #1: "Dos Madrigal" part #1

“When the sand went down, there was nothing else to do: they were all dead. Bruno thought the magic would die with them, but it never happened. However, Mirabel knew that their magic was stronger than ever. What used to be a miracle from heaven had turned into something much more sinister.”

Hi guys! I'm very happy to show you the comic I've been working on for the last few months. I hadn't uploaded it here before, so the update is close.

We will soon find out what really happened to the other members of the family, and how Bruno and Mirabel cope with being the only two remaining Madrigals.

Thank you for reading! I would appreciate if you interact and share my work.

Adiós 👋

«Blessing» (Encanto fan comic)

An idea (and eventual part of headcanon) all the way from year ago. Whole scenario was based on that one brief interaction of Agustín with Bruno during “All of You”. Sadly, I’ve got disappointed with myself in process and left it unfinished for indefinite time, and as result, decided to rework it from scratch now, but the scenario stayed the same.

At the time, it wasn’t clear if in canon Agustín was always part of Encanto or arrived here as adult (info from artbook says he came “from big city”), but later it was confirmed by director Bush that all inhabitants of the village were either born here or are refugees from 50 years ago, and it’s just Agustín’s family that has city roots. I decided to leave that aspect ambiguous, as it had no specific bearing on the conversation, but originally it was supposed he wasn’t (and isn’t at the moment) deeply familiar with the Madrigal family and its hierarchy. My headcanon has been updated since that, so expect eventual follow-up on that backstory.

Anyway, whatever connection did stem from that, it wasn’t developed further much in next 20+ years due to Bruno growing progressively more reclusive and reluctant to forge relationships beyond his blood relatives. But as feeling of disconnection becomes stronger, he’s still determined to protect happiness of his loved ones, and not above using benefit of indisputable trust people have in his words, especially when his guts saying it will be right. He (and the rest of Madrigals) may not realize full extent of powers given to him, but as they’re based in natural traits, his are rooted in sharp intuition which, in some cases, doesn’t even require activation of visions. For why he’s so confident on the matter in this case… the story for another time.

I can finally post something from the comic!!! I have been working on this since the beginning of the year since I finished the prologue so you can see the change in my style, this is part 1/2 of this chapter, and I hope I can post the second part of the chapter soon.

A tale of Dos oruguitas begins with these two characters, Amelia and Ana, arriving at Encanto and seeking to settle in it. What will the future have in store for them? we will see it

(Sorry for the typos and grammatical errors this could have, I will try to be more careful next time)

I headcanon her doing this.

Happy birthday to the SCRUNGLE :]]]] 💖💖💖💖

Totally not a day late

Look at these two proto Jose and Chepe that gunpowder drew. They've changed so much 😆. It's insane how much both of them evolved. Literally Chepe was a throw away character for my encanto fancomic. And the reason how me and gunpowder talked was because someone confused our characters because they were both named Jose. I think it's been a year now.

Encanto: Madrigal Family Relationship Analysis Part 20 - Felix and Pepa

These two are the definition of couple goals. This is no disrespect for Agulieta, Palma, and Doloriano, as they could also be described as “couple goals”, but these two had the most screentime of the entire pairings and show nothing but deep love and affection for one another. Felix enjoys helping Pepa manage her mood swings and she deeply appreciates his efforts. They kiss, tenderly hold onto one another, and love to sing and dance whenever possible. I remember seeing this fancomic from kianamai on her instagram page of a possible meeting between the couple: They met as children, instantly liked on another, and Felix didn’t find Pepa’s mood-linked weather powers bad at all; he loved it and Pepa was clearly touched it. That’s how I believed they met. Felix was most likely the first person outside her siblings (I can’t count Alma since her “advice” for Pepa was to just get rid of it) who never saw her powers as a problem and didn’t tell her to “control” herself. Pepa fell in love with his bright, cheerful, helpful, and loving demeanor; Felix fell in love with her passionate, honest, protective, and equally loving heart. Heck, even when they get into a brief argument in the WDTAB song, it’s quickly dealt with and forgotten. I also think that Pepa may have some insecurity over Felix helping her moods not because she doesn’t appreciate but because she feels that she’s not helping him enough; if brought up, Felix would quickly reassure her that, her very being is helpful enough for him.

Hello! Remember last month, when I said The Macondian Giftshop would conclude on April 29th? That... did not happen! My b! It was a much busier month than I expected.

Nonetheless, today is the 1 year anniversary of when I started posting my encanto fancomic, which sits at 56 pages right now. I wrote the script in approximately February 2022, and have spent a very long time conveying it. A lot has happend to me since then. If you kept up with my comic or helped me along the way making it, thank you! I hope to make you proud with the ending, when it comes. ❤

4: Picture Worth A Thousand Words Bruno has mysterious dreams, dreams that almost always come true. He hides them from Pedro, instead drawing to process what he sees. It has been years since Pedro visited the river. Lately, it has been too painful. He has never taken his son to the place where the other half of their family was lost. It's finally time to change that. The boys pack for a trip.

Witch Hat News #4 - Lessons from the Archives

by Tata Calthrop

This is an archived version of our microfiction newsletter! You can read along on our tumblr, or subscribe here.

Which archive, you may ask? Well, it's quite simple.

Our own one.

Yes, like many twenty-somethings in the creative field now, I was forged in a rather specific fire – the classic Internet pipeline of Neopets, Deviantart, Tumblr, Twitter, usually interspaced at some point with either a gender crisis or a formal diagnosis of mental illness.

You see, for a young nerdy preteen in 2010, you have two sexy choices made available to you, neither of which you will perceive until it's too late. You will choose either the path of solitude (voraciously consuming and creating content in incredible loneliness and feeling like the only person in the world who does so), or the path of the internet, where you will learn at an incredibly young age how to receive and handle a death threat. I was raised on a raw, unfiltered diet of fandom. (Sonic the Hedgehog. The world has not been kind to me.)

The fans and the hermits have a lot to teach each other. In fact, as easy as it is to make fun of – well – most people on the internet, there is something valuable to be learned from every subculture of creativity, including the horny ones. 

So let me make a confession to you: I'm a fanfiction writer. I have a shameful record of 155,821 words, none of which will ever give me a scrap of credibility with anyone, including other fanfiction writers. (Heavy is the head that wears the dunce hat of Adventure/Comedy.) Hell, I've spent over a year picking away at a fancomic project. For zero dollars and no publication accolades, I have written at least five full completed novellas, which will never be published, be recognised, or prove anything except my big, fat crush on the uncle from Encanto.

My god, was it freeing.

The social pressure to monetize your art is insane. I took my first art commission before I even had my first bank account. It was my teenage dream: to be paid is to obtain credibility. The label will hang over your head like an execution hood: PROFESSIONAL. Of course, the loop never really stops; start making money and suddenly your eyes are open to how many opportunities you're missing, and how little you make compared to others, and how wide the chasm is between you and full-time creation. 

(That's not to say the money and recognition aren't nice! That part I do recommend.)

But making fan content, and making friends who also make fan content, and building up a small audience of people who just want to be there for fun is incredibly liberating when you're not used to it. Get a bunch of friends who create together, join a community that makes its own memes and creates a bubble of mutual feedback and appreciation, and you start to realise: this is how they made the old tales, the oral ones before the printing press.

Here's two lessons from the archives.

Love characters. Fall in love with their vulnerable moments, their jokes, their relationship dynamics, the little unseen parts of them that you can never put in a real story because there's simply no point. Linger on the details. Develop a little crush. Project all your issues and obsess over nothing. Love your own characters, and you'll find suddenly that creating art about them changes from a chore to an act of affection. Learn what makes you fall in love with other stories, and look for the same aspects in your own.

Making art to impress a large audience will disappoint you; making art to impress a social circle of about ten interested people is how life is supposed to be lived. The early humans who painted mammoths on cave walls had no audience except themselves.

Here's a quote I like, from Prof. Henry Jenkins, Provost Professor of Communication, Journalism and Cinematic Arts at University of Southern California: "Contemporary Web culture is the traditional folk process working at lightning speed on a global scale. The difference is that our core myths now belong to corporations, rather than the folk.”

Here's another quote I like, from twitter user @FarfinFarfin: "the fastest way to improve your art is to become some sort of pervert, doesn't really matter what kind, whatever you're comfortable with". 

Reviews

The Northern Caves by @nostalgebraist. The Northern Caves is a cosmic horror story about unwary scholars who delved too deep into the ancient texts, except the scholars are a group of hardcore nerds on an early 2000s fan forum for a mediocre fantasy series, and the ancient texts are fan theories about the author's baffling final novel. I know almost nothing about original fiction on Archive of Our Own, but I recognise a wonderfully online scary story when I see one. Psychological, terrifying, and twistedly fascinating reading for anyone who's ever watched an online community implode.

Songs for Girls in Love by @phemiec. PhemieC was one of my favourite musicians as a teenager, and when I got into my first relationship I rushed into the familiar arms of their love songs. They also were making, at the time, Homestuck fansongs. But when I was 15, this music made more of an impact on me than any classic musician ever could. Songs for Girls In Love has a number of fansongs mixed in, largely for things I've never consumed, but you'd never know it from their lyrical subtlety and I'm still a huge fan. 

Digital Land Grab: Media corporations are stealing our cultural heritage. Can we take it back? By Henry Jenkins. Okay, okay, this one's not exactly micro or fiction of any sort. But it is the article that I quoted earlier, and Prof. Jenkins could be described as the grandfather of fanwork studies in academia. A good read about the history and creative validity of fanwork, and the ways in which corporations suppress it. I highly recommend it, even if you know nothing about fanfiction.

Your project here. Do you make art of any kind - visual, written, performed? Are you starting a project or recruiting co-creators? We want to hear from you! Email us at contact@witchhatproductions.com.

That's it for June. See you next month!

hey, I just wanted to thank you for making such a great comic! I'm really looking forward to the next thief & profit. I have my own encanto fancomic that I've been feeling really burnt out on, but seeing your art makes me want to go back and work on it! thank you for sharing, from one fancomic artist to another ❤️

Thank you so much!✨

I totally get it. It's OK to feel a little burnt on something that you are inspired by. It doesn't mean that you don't love the content. As artists, inspiration is our fuel and sometimes it can shift directions. I've done the same with Dragon Ball Z / Samurai Jack over the years.

Even when you're working on something you passionately love, sometimes the flow of creativity just changes course. That's why a lot of show runners  have to emphasize their focus on new projects when fans want them to remain on the same one. It doesn't mean that they don't love their previous works, it just means that they want to continue to create elsewhere.

If you're feeling inspired to get back to your comic I would go for it! ✨

At breakfast the next morning

Pepa: Why so small last night, Camilo? Too tired for the seven-foot-frame?

Camilo: ??? (mouth stuffed, can’t speak)

Dolores: Oh, Camilo slept really fitful - I even heard him sleepwalking, hm!
