Getting the urge to write a fic in which Mirabel gets all of the family's Gifts (plus one of her own because why not) and then fistfights God - played by Osvaldo - in a Denny's parking lot. IDK, just feeling inspired.

A post about

There was a point where Carlos by the times standards was an ok husband. In the beginning Carlos was attempting to do nice things she liked, but always With an air of dismissiveness. Taking her to the circus because she likes it, but then mocking her for liking the clowns, for example.

Carlos isn’t a monster in my mind, but just a consistently selfish and entitled person. With toxic masculinity bruising his ego about Elena being the breadwinner and him being the possible vector of infertility. But he was an orphan as well and he didn’t have the example of loving parents to guide him like she did. Their shared history of being an orphan without family, made them both desperate of fixing that with a big loving home they made. Disappointment and anger soured his love.

Carlos last name is Hernandez. But Elena was more famous, so that is why her name consistently was Elena Ruiz. Elena Rosa Hernandez Ruiz. It’s why Agustin and Felix go by Madrigal, the famous family rule.

So I imagine that’s an extra twist of the knife for Carlos. But he never took her last name in the proper order.

man I fucking love encanto they were really cooking with that one

“I’m just saying I get it.”

Okay, so I was thinking a little about this scene the other day. I love it so much because Gus just wants to make Mira feel understood and things and, of course, he does understand how it feels to be a bit of an outcast in such a magical family.

I can’t help but feel that she disagrees with him a little though. While he knows how it feels to be different and “unceptional” as he puts it, things are slightly different for her because she was MEANT to have a gift. Every Madrigal child had a gift. Her sisters, her mamá and aunt and uncle, her cousins…everyone but her. She was the only child that did not get one.

He, on the other hand, was never expected or going to have a gift. He has no idea how it feels to know that you are supposed to get one, it is meant to be your right as a child born into such a family, and then it doesn’t happen. He doesn’t feel robbed of it because it was never meant to be his in the first place.

I think Mira would be grateful he was trying to make her feel less alone in her feelings, but at the same time he would never 100% understand just how painful it is for her 😔

Out of curiosity, how many chapters are you anticipating for Constellations Shift?

No idea! 😆

[ihavehisdvds]

Mirabel was never denied a gift. She just wasn’t trying to open the right door.

Yet she wasn’t gift-less. Her gift was working through her, but not at full power.

Pepa Madrigal, Emotional Weather

Height: 5'8" Hair: Waist length, curly auburn usually worn in a loose braid Eyes: Green FC: Carolina Gaitán Birthday: October 15

The 'oldest' daughter of Alma and Pedro Madrigal, she never knew anything outside of the magically formed caldera and the community of their little Encanto. When she was five years old, she was 'blessed' with the power to control the weather of the village. However, due to the pressures of the family, this power has been completely dependent on her emotions.

She has three children, Dolores, Camilo, and Antonio.

[viridianvisions]

I'm expectantly holding out that this will be the case; the way the movie ended with such potential to be explored (the new doors, returned but "new" magic, and the adjustment of the family fitting in to the community with their freshly-realised gifts and talents) makes me eagerly believe that they had a sequel planned all along, at least in some capacity. Even a series of shorts would be better than nothing, but an entirely fleshed-out continuation of this story and the potential obstacles faced by each member of the family is just begging to be rolled out in all its glory.

Will the "sentience" of Casita, powered by Mirabel's restored magic, be quirkier and more involved with the family now that it seems to be subject to Mirabel's emotions and will rather than Abuela Alma's? This is at least implied by the ending scene of the movie, where Casita's floors excitedly toss Mirabel to and fro in almost reckless glee before flinging the entire family together for the final chaotic photo. In contrast, Abuela had seemingly trained Casita to be useful where needed, but not to meddle in the family's carefully ordered daily affairs. For example, Casita would assist in setting the family dining table for each meal, alert members to important events (Antonio's gift ceremony) and even discipline where necessary (as seen with Mirabel's seat at the lunch table being moved when she was distracted and disregarding Alma's speech, and Camilo being whacked over the head for posing as Dolores to nab a second helping of arepas). This would even explain why Casita was physically unable to help in Bruno's room — as well as the magic having faltered there due to him abandoning his gift and family, it also strongly reflects the feelings that Abuela had for Bruno after he left. In her mind and heart, he was all but dead to the family and all it stood for.

Then there is the burning question of what the new gifts will be, or how these unspecific doors seen at the end of the movie will operate in materialising the new rooms.

Each door, just like in the old Casita, is undifferentiated and steadily brewing with whatever magic each family member is able to steward with their innate talents and tendancies. But will it be bestowed upon them in the manner that each member chooses, instead of being forced according to certain traits they showed in childhood? It may have been that while this is what was originally intended by each gift, the way Abuela expected them to be utilised "for the good of the community" meant that there was no room for the entire scope of each Madrigal's personality to be portrayed. They were never allowed to be "imperfectly human", wielding their gifts in light of the various emotions and responses they might have had to situations, because to do so would show "cracks" in the perfectly plastered facade that Abuela desperately clung to.

So instead of a garden bursting in multi-coloured arrays of exotic, beautiful and unpredictable bloom, bringing life and a diversity of wonder to the Encanto, all Isabella was permitted to grow were sickly-sweet roses. What could she do with her newfound abilities? The world of botany can extend to so many practically useful applications: medicinal, healing and even protective, not just aesthetic as was the case before.

Instead of physical strength being the only characteristic Luisa was expected to use to serve everyone around her, with no regard for her need for rest, what kind of a supportive and capable sister could she be were she allowed just to discover her own interests and take time for herself? Strength presents itself in many ways, and her resilience could make her an entirely capable town leader to look up to.

Instead of having to bear the continual burden of listening to everyone's problems, and hearing dark secrets but never revealing them for fear of creating division, Dolores could bring peace and restoration through counseling (she is able to understand both sides) and even through music (I would find it hard to believe that she doesn't love a soothing, quiet melody after a long day of overstimulation).

Camilo could reach inwardly to find the range of himself that expresses as a fine actor and impersonator — instead of being the constant, clowning entertainment for others, regardless of his own feelings, why could he not delve into more serious sides through plays and story recreations?

Pepa was already showing signs of being able to release her emotions freely by the end of the first movie, which would not only be able to teach others about the importance of authenticity, but also that there is a time and season for everything. How much more loving and supportive her family could be towards her if they were able to experience the full-spectrum weathering of her emotions, instead of the continual sunshine she was previously forced to wear, and what a dynamic environment it would create for the rest of the Encanto.

Julieta could be free to not only cook for healing, but for hearty, comforting and warm memories as well, without the pressure to always needing to "fix" everyone's ailments. She could have fun and revel in the joy of simply creating food for its ability to bring communities together.

Little Antonio already has the advantage of learning his gift without full expectations laid upon him. Undoubtedly, he would be able to use his unique understanding of animals for so many wonderful things: conservation, veterinary, advancements in animal behavior and more — wherever his little heart leads him.

And then there is Bruno, dear mysterious Bruno. Admittedly, I have long wondered what his new gift, if any, will be; at the very least, it should be less painful and debilitating. Would he be able to look into the brightest parts of the future without needing to focus on or be aware of the inevitably tragic or saddening ones? Or could his be an entirely different approach? After all, his real gift really is acting. 😉

And if all of this wasn't enough to fuel three encyclopaedic volumes-full of plot material, there is still the sub-storylines of the interactions each of the gifts would have with one another when their users aren't being so reserved with them; the ways the family navigates this; the younger Madrigals growing up more and the older ones finding new purpose; the dynamic of Bruno having to find his feet again after a decade of isolation; the new Encanto being open to the outside for the first time ever; and so much more.

If this all seems intimidating to Disney as unattainably high expectations for a sequel, it needn't be.

At the end of the day, the entire movie could be comprised of mundane scenes of the Madrigals doing completely domestic tasks, and we the fans would still approve. Just don't ruin the good that you've already established, and we'll be happy. 😌

Encanto TV Series!

Do you guys want an Encanto TV Series? 

We could help by showing interest and expressing that to Disney through their page https://help.disneyplus.com!

Click “Give Feedback” and you’ll see the option to “request a film or show”. 

It will give you the opportunity to suggest three options. Personally, I just wrote: - “Encanto TV Series”  - “Encanto Shorts” (if we don’t get a tv series, they could at least give us a short or something) and.. - “Encanto Show” (cause I didn’t know what else to write haha)

I think Encanto has great potential to be a show and I think it would be a lost opportunity to not do so!

Luisa Open Starter

Luisa was mentally going over who it was that she needed to help now. There had been a list of people that had requested her help and she had managed to get a few of the tasks done. It was just so difficult trying to keep track of everyone when they made requests in the middle of her helping someone else.

Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard the footsteps of someone approaching her. "Do you need help with something too?" She hadn't looked at who was approaching, but was assuming it was a villager.
