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.

Been losing my mind on Magma because I finally found a way to draw that doesn't hurt

So here's a screenshot of a piece I did on there lmao

Help me out?

Bruno Open Starter

“I don’t think you want to ask that.  No one ever takes the answer to that question well.”  

[prophetic-hijinks]

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

[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!

❝ Since WHEN did Merlin allow mansions in the valley ?! ❞

[nonsensology]

So I've had these Grunkle Stan crackships on my mind for almost a year now. Could be interpreted as platonic, but I think there's great and fascinating potential if interpreted fully romantic. Full musings and explanations below (Warning: very disjointed and random).

Uncle Chan from Jackie Chan Adventures

Maybe Ford and Stan stumble across the Chans on one of their globe-trotting adventures. Both groups fight off the same supernatural threat and surprise each other with their ease and familiarity with the weird and fantastical.

I feel Uncle is kind of a weird in-between of Ford and Stan. He is knowledgeable but not a nerd like Ford, is generally cranky but doesn't get into trouble like Stan does, although he does have a level of disregard towards authority if it gets in the way of his goals. He's quick to do research instead of impulsively charging into a situation.

I think Uncle's dynamic with Stan would be hilarious. They would argue a lot on how to deal with a threat, but once they agree to work together, they could kick ass. Once he gets past his initial annoyance, Stan would probably enjoy Uncle's quips, even more so when he realizes that Uncle does not say them to be funny, he's just naturally snarky.

Uncle is never shown having any romantic interest or relationships, so I kind of headcanon him as ace, but I think it would be really interesting to see what kind of queerplatonic relationship he and Stan could form.

Jade and Mabel would probably hit it off immediately, and while Jade isn't as studious as Dipper, she also has an enthusiasm for the supernatural so she'd probably get along decently with him. She'd also probably think Stan and Ford are super cool, especially considering their lax attitude toward giving children weapons. Though they do still take the kids' safety very seriously.

Jackie is doubtful of Stan, much like he was with Viper, but seeing Stan look out for the kids would probably endear him a little. Ford might also help ease his worries, and maybe they both could have fun discussion about archeology.

I think Tohru and Soos could get along decently, though Tohru would find Soos' eccentric musings odd at first.

Additionally, Uncle's shop is in San Francisco, practically next door to Dipper and Mabel in Piedmont. The kids would easily visit each other every weekend.

Bruno Madrigal from Encanto

Stan has been to prison in Colombia, so I don't think he'd willingly travel there for fun, and Encanto Valley seems relatively closed off from the rest of the world, so I imagine their meeting is accidental, maybe a result of the Stans getting caught in a storm or something. They stay for a while in the valley while repairing their boat.

Stan might initially be outraged at the idea of the Madrigals not charging anyone for the use of their gifts, but perhaps lightens up when he sees how close-knit the community is. He'd still come up with ways they could show off their powers Mystery Shack style, probably butting heads with Alma in the process, lol. He might encourage Bruno to adapt a more showman-like approach to his seer abilities to make it more presentable and less intimidating.

Bruno and Stan connecting over their shared feelings of isolation from family is definitely what drew me to these two together in the first place. If they ever got serious about their relationship, I can imagine the biggest hurdle would be deciding if they should continue a long-distance relationship, since neither is keen on asking the other to be separated from their family.

Yuuko Ichihara from xxxHolic and Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle

Major spoiler alerts for both series. It's been many years since I've read them, and Tsubasa had so many plot twists that even CLAMP (the writers) admitted they were confused by the end result. I also might be misremembering some details, so bear with me. Factoring in the plotlines for both series and Gravity Falls would make for an incredible AU fanfic that I unfortunately am not qualified to write.

Due to Yuuko's shop being in Tokyo, a whole ocean away from Oregon, I like to imagine some timey-wimey space mumbo jumbo allowing Yuuko and Stan to meet in the dream realm. Maybe at some point, Yuuko's shop would obtain a door connecting it to the Mystery Shack.

Stan and Yuuko both have a mischievous side, though Yuuko is generally more reserved. They could start out as drinking buddies, though I imagine Stan would probably favor a light beer, while Yuuko loves sake.

They also both use aliases (it is never revealed what Yuuko's real name is), but Yuuko would likely be upfront about it. As their relationship progresses, Stan would probably feel comfortable telling Yuuko his real first name, even after she tells him the supernatural dangers of giving your real name.

While Stan scams his customers, he generally sells harmless entertainment and trinkets, whereas Yuuko grants wishes and operates strictly on an equivalent exchange basis. To quote the wiki, "All of Yuuko's customers must pay a price in order to grant their wishes, which can be no more or no less than the one demanded, or else harm will come to one's way. She is not one to tell the customer the most direct way to solve their problems because in the end, it can only be solved with that person's own realization and resolution to change themselves... Her abilities are not unlimited and may almost seem like a curse as it appears that she is unable to do anything for anyone or grant any gift (other than feelings) without it becoming a binding transaction." 

When Stan finds out just how powerful Yuuko is, I think he might react with a mixture of hesitation and awe, especially when she reveals she knows about his past, and Ford being lost in the multiverse. I am on the fence on whether Yuuko would use her powers to bring Ford home sooner, or let Stan continue working on the portal because he's already close to completing it and this would be significant in defeating Bill.

I found that the main villain of Tsubasa, Fei Wang Reed, surprisingly parallels Stan. Both endanger reality to bring back someone who is lost, but while Stan does it out of love and devotion to his family, Fei Wang Reed only did it in an arrogant plan to prove himself a powerful sorcerer. And in Fei's case, the person is already dead. CLAMP's universe establishes that the dead cannot be brought back to life, and Fei's wish to do so would cause the universe to be destroyed. I wonder if Bill would factor Fei as part of his plans.

Stan also surprisingly shares a lot in common with Fai D Fluorite. Both use their twin's name (Fai's real name is Yuui), and for much of the series Fai's tragic backstory regarding his twin is unknown, and he hides his trauma under a laid back exterior. I think Stan would empathize a lot with Fai, after he finds out his backstory.

Kimihiro Watanuki is revealed to have been created to fill a void left by Syaoran after the latter wished to turn back time. I remember Watanuki's character arc involved realizing that people cared about him. "Don't disappear", "Continue existing". Stan would probably take Watanuki under his wing, much like he did with Soos. Watanuki might find life with the Pines family far more chaotic than he's used to, but slowly warm up.

Yuuko is revealed to have died a long time ago and has basically been in magical stasis due to Clow Reed's unintentional wish. When time finally moves forward again, Yuuko eventually passes on. She doesn't return in the canon series, but Watanuki is stated to have also suspended his time to wait for her return. In this AU, maybe she reincarnates in the past and reunites with Stan and the Pines in the present day.

Pepa’s branch of the family tells the truth, especially to each other. For Félix, it’s a matter of personal integrity—you say what’s on your mind, and try to have a good mind so what you say is good (but poor old Pepa can’t lie, so he won’t either—especially not to her, especially not if it would cause more trouble to not tell her what’s going on and she panics, because she already panics so much with everything on her plate). For the others, there’s always going to be trouble, with their Gifts, so if they can be honest about it then they will. And Pepa, well, like I say, with her powers she couldn’t lie if she wanted to. Dolores has a complicated relationship with that, but the base instinct is there.

Julieta’s branch of the family tells white lies, especially to themselves. For Agustín it’s a matter of care—he already gets hurt enough for his wife, he doesn’t want to burden her with more until the time is right (she won’t panic, but she will worry, and he hates making her worry). For the others, they’re always going to be expected to be at the top of their game, with their Gifts, so if they can keep up the masquerade of being ready and willing then they will. And Julieta, well, she has to be strong, because she gives people their strength. Small wonder Luisa broke down—it was a terrible truth for her to bear.

Bruno’s branch of the family can’t help but tell the truth, but he doesn’t always know what the truth means. And people have a bad habit of assuming the worst. Like Pepa, he has to tell it; like Julieta, he knows he has to be strong about his own role in it. And having both burdens is not the best thing for anyone’s mind.

…I’m not completely sure what Alma’s relationship with the truth is, but my guess is that it’s similarly unhealthy.

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.

“Grace…please. Me and Riley have heard enough of your playlist. Just admit mine is better so we can carry on with our sleepover festivites.” Bree sighed, resting her head on Riley’s shoulder.

“Just one more song! Then I’ll be done.” Grace smiled as she pressed play on Shuffle as she went to her Spotify app, “Whatever song it is…I’m 101% sure you guys will lohooooove it.” 

The song played for a bit, the music bouncing around the room as Riley and Bree slowly started to realize what they were allowing themselves to listen to…

“…I-Is this…Peaches from the Mario movie…?” The blue eyed teen snickered, laughing louder as Bree just sadly facepalmed. 

The glasses wielding teenager got up from where she was sitting, standing up and basically snatching away Grace’s phone from her palms. 

“Okahay, yeahhhhhh…no. I’m turning this off.” The purple cladded girl mused as she did just that, giving the electronic back to the green pajama wearing girl. “So, based on popular vote…which was just me, myself and I…I declare myself the winner of Deciding Who’s Spotify Playlist is the MOST Banger! Or DWSPITMB for short.”

“How come you get to decide what playlist is quote on quote 'the best?!' I think mine is pretty suherb.” The smaller teenager huffed. 

Bree adjusted her glasses, raising an unamused brow at her smaller friend as she sighed in disappointment. Riley, though, just chuckled in utter amusement, sitting on her bed criss-cross as she munched on some the leftover popcorn they made earlier in the night.

Bree loved proving people wrong…and Riley loved watching it allllll unfold. 

“First off: it’s superb. And second, no it is not! Your playlist just consists of meme songs!” The chocolate eyed girl said matter-of-factly.

The green cladded teenager scoffed, “Oh yeah? Like what?”

“Goofy Goober…Smash Mouth All Stars…It’s Raining Tacos— shall I continue?” 

Grace crossed her arms, glancing to the side of her as she wallowed in defeat. 

In her defense…although the songs she liked were classified as 'meme songs'…they lowkey kind of ate down…

…Just a bit…

…Juuuuust a tad…?

“No…” The smallest of the three huffed. 

“And you!” Bree said as she pointed at Riley, ignoring the small surprised squeak that came out of the blondie, “Your playlist is just straight up Disney songs!! If that doesn’t scream basic I don’t know what does…” 

The blue cladded teenager swiflty got up and went towards her best friends which resulted into all of them looking like the formation of a small triangle, “Wooooah woah woah woah! Don’t drag me into this! Disney’s songs are peak and they will continue to stay peak!” 

Grace grimaced, rubbing the back of her neck, “After Encanto…Disney kinda fell off I’m not gonna lie, Ri…” She grumbled under her breath. But her dismay, Riley heard it loud and clear..

Crystal clear, to be exact.

“A GIRL WHO HAS 'NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP' IN HER PLAYLIST SHOULD NOT BE TALKING!!!” The girl in blue screamed. 

“IT’S GENUINELY A FUN SONG! YOU’RE JUST JEALOUS YOU DON’T HAVE MY MUSIC TASTE! AND AT LEAST MY PLAYLIST HAS A THEME…unlike someone I know…” The black haired teen snapped back, trying not to giggle at Bree’s loud and dramatic offended gasp. 

“HEY HEY HEY!! DON’T YOU EEEEEVEN START!!” The girl in glasses yelled, “You wouldn’t know good music if it hit you right in the face!”

“Oho I do so know good music! But you have Laufey, Jack Stauber and Green Day all in the same. playlist!!!” The blue iris wielding teenager scoffed, putting a hand on her hip, “And besides, if your playlist is the 'superb' one, what have I been listening to this entire time on my playlist, huh?”

“Trash.” Bree said plainly and simply, the three best friends locking eye contact with one another for a moment or two before bursting into loud uncontrollable cackles. 

The three teen’s laughed at their silliness, all sitting on Riley’s bed as they tried to calm down to the best to their abilities.

“Trash.” Grace exclaimed as she tried her best to match Bree’s voice before breaking character and snickering again, “PFFTHAH! Even the wahay yohou said ihat was juhust sohoho fucking peherfect.”

“Ihi dohon’t know whahat cahame ohohover me…i-ihit juhust happened!” The purple cladded teen snorted, pulling out her phone from out of her pocket, “Fohor the Archives?” 

“For the Archives.” The tallest teen agreed, all of them getting close to one another to take a picture. 

The brown eyed girl pressed the button to encapture the memory through a single photograph, looking down at it happily as she squinted, looking at it more attentively. 

Bree screamed in shock, putting her phone face down on the bed as she pulled her hood up, engulfing her face inside of it as she layed on her back, “MY GLASSES! MY. FREAKING. GLASSES!!! THEY’RE UPSIDE DOWN!! WHY DIDN’T YOU TWO TELL ME?!” She cried in embarrassment. 

Her two friend’s in question exchanged a look with each other, holding back more small snickers, “Ihi thought yohou were gohoing fohor aha look!” Grace grinned. 

“I WASN’T!!!” The purple cladded one huffed, fixing her glasses so they weren’t upside down anymore, “You two are so damn fake…”

“Oho puh-leeeease.” The hazelnut eyed girl sweetly said, wrapping the other in a big bear hug, “You loooooove us.” She teased. 

The blondie leaned on her bed-frame, hugging her knees together as she rested her chin on her knees, watching the other two bicker about absolutely nothing.

And suddenly…out of nowhere, Riley’s fond smile turned to…a small, sad one…

She didn’t know why.

She had no idea why.

But all of a sudden…she just felt…sad.

Not, like, depressed sad…

…But not subtle sad, either. 

“…I’m gonna miss this…” The taller suddenly blurted out, not really carrying if the other two heard or not…

…But, of course…they heard loud and clear…

…Crystal, even.

“…Miss what, Ri?” The smallest of the three asked casually, giving the blue eyed teen her full attention as Bree looked at her as well.

The blonde rubbed her knuckles slightly, anxiously looking away and avoiding eye contact with the other two, “Just…hanging out with you guys, I guess. Just…being here, y'know? School starts in, like, a week and I really don’t think I’m ready…”

“Don’t remind me…” The girl with glasses whined dramatically, flopping on Grace’s chest as the hazelnut eyed teen happily and gladly held her in her arms tighter, squeezing her comfortingly as she took her hood off from her head, “It’s freaking crazy…I remember us cleaning out our Middle School lockers like it was yesterday…” The green cladded girl grinned with nostalgia. 

“Pff…speaking of, you guys remember when I found a year old sandwhich in Ryan’s locker?! That shit was hilarious.” Riley said as the other two laughed. 

“That shit was disgusting. I’ve never seen something so…so…hideous…” The girl in purple pajamas fake gagged, “…Well, besides you of course.” The chocolate eyed teen said as she gestured towards the hazelnut eyed teen. 

“HEY!” Grace huffed, lightly flicking Bree’s forehead. 

The tallest of the three of them let out a short laugh…but, it lasted longer than her usual, genuine laugh…

…This one seemed…forced. 

Her laugh’s started to sound a bit choked as tears ran down her face. In alarm, both Bree and Grace went to her side’s immediately, making sure their friend was okay…

…Well, as 'okay' as a crying person could be at the moment. 

“Sorry…sorry, gosh…I’m…I-I’m b-being so stupid…” The blondie sniffled, wiping her nose and face with her sleeve. “No…you aren’t.” The girl with glasses reassured as she rubbed the other’s back, “You’re just upset…and that’s okay.”

“But…B-But I’m not upset…” 

“…You’re not?” The shortest one of them all asked carefully.

Riley sniffled once more, glaring at her knees, “I don’t…a-at least I don’t think I am. I’m just…scared, I guess.” She explained as more and more tears ran down her face like they were never-ending, “I…I liked Middle School…a lot. I met you guys a-and s-so many other p-people that changed m-my life for the b-better.” The baby blue eyed teen said softly, a wobbly smile stretching to her features. 

“I-I was able to f-find myself and know who I-I wanna be!! A-And n-not to mention I-I was even a-able to d-do d-dodgeball on Gym days! Dodgeball!” The blonde exclaimed whilst sobbing. 

Grace rested her head on Riley’s shoulder, holding her hand in her’s to stop the taller’s excessive hand rubbing, “Still saluting you for carrying our Dodgeball team...” The green loving teenager murmured.

“B-But now…it’s j-just Middle School a-all over again. A-And I-I’m gonna be the n-new k-kid…” The blue cladded kid sighed as she buried her head on her knees, “A-And I won’t have you guys…”

There was a long enough silence that lasted for a while; all that was heard was Riley’s quiet sobs (well— as quiet as one can get when crying) and Bree and Grace’s breathing patterns.

Grace crossed her arms, giggling, “Uhuh…who said that?” 

“You two are gonna be at a different school—” The blonde tried to explain but was almost immediately cut off by her other best friend, “Still doesn’t mean we won’t be there. Phones exist, Ri-Tie. We have our group-chat! We can FaceTime on the weekends and meet up during holiday breaks!” The girl in glasses happily said. 

“B-But…w-what if we don’t k-keep in t-t-touch? O-Or we g-get in a-a f-fight through text a-and we d-don’t talk to e-each other f-f-for months?!” The blue cladded teenager exclaimed in exasperation and desperation, holding her friend’s hand in her’s as she tried to calm herself down.

The brown eyed girl squeezed her friend’s hand comfortingly, her eyes softening, “…It seems like your less worried about school…and more worried about…'losing us…'”

Riley just quietly sniffled, looking away in embarrassment. 

“Ri…you aren’t going to 'lose us'. We legit aren’t going anywhere.” Grace explained thoroughly. 

“But…B-But what if y-you f-f-find someone…better?” The blue eyed girl probed. 

“…Better?” Her two friend’s questioned. 

“Like…me but…better.” The taller inquired. 

“I can’t promise that we won’t…make friends at our new school…but I can promise there will be no person at that place that can replace you. Heck, no one on this Earth can replace you even if they tried. And you wanna know why?” Grace grinned as she squished other’s hand a bit harder.

Riley smiled slightly at the action, squeezing back, “Pff…why?”

“Because you’re Riley freaking Anderson! AWOOGA!!!” The green and purple cladded girl’s both shouted, causing the other to laugh her tears away as she wiped her eyes, “G-Guys…that was so. damn. cringy. PLEASE never do that again…”

“Alas, it is what we do best.” The hazelnut eyed girl said as she dramatically lied down on the bed, “And speaking of which…I think you need some cheering up Ri-Pie…you still look down in the dumps.” And with that, Grace got up and pinned Riley’s wrists to the bed with one hand as the other wiggled teasingly.

The blondie audibly gulped, a small, nervous smile spreading to her features as she blushed slightly. 

The brunette giggled at the sight, putting her hand’s around her mouth to make her own voice seem like it was coming out of a megaphone, “Houston! Houston, we haaaaave a problem! It seems like Ri-Ri needs some tickle tickle tickles~!” 

“SHUHUT. UHUP—”

“And it seems like she’s insulting me, ladies and gentlefolks…! How unfortunate…” The girl in glasses hummed as she sat where the taller’s head was, using her arms and pinning them up so Grace could tickle her freely, “And to think we could’ve gone easy on you…”

The girl beneath squeaked loudly, hiding her face in her arms, “Guhuhuys w-wahahait! Stahop!!” 

“But we haven’t even done anything!” Grace said innocently as she dug her fingers into the blue eyed teenager’s hips, “See? Not doing anything.” 

“BAHAH— hic! NO!” The tallest one of the three squeaked, tugging on her arms but because of her purple cladded friend’s hands…she wasn’t able to go anywhere.

“BREEHEE! LEHET hic l-leHET GOhoh ahahand squeak— GRAHAHACE!! STAHAHOP!!” The blondie said as she kicked her feet wildly on the mattress, “STAHAP IT NOHOHOW!!”

The teen in purple rolled her eyes fondly, “I mean we cooooould…but you need to tell us what to stop doing.”

“YOHOU. KNOHOW!” The tallest of the three shouted. 

“Hmmmmm…do I~?” 

“Y-YEHEHES!!”

“I dunno~! I don’t think I do~!” 

“YEHES. YOU. DO!”

“I don’t, actually…” The brunette inquired, letting go of the other’s arms and digging her hands into her underarms whilst kneading her ribs. 

Talk about double kill! 

The blue iris eyed kid arched her back momentarily, hugging her middles as she belly laughed loudly, “GYAHAH— hic! NOHOH! NOT THERE! NONONOHOH— squeal! PLAHAHEASE!!” 

“You’re a huge walking tickle spot, huh, Rile?” Grace snorted as she scribbled the blonde’s sides. “SHUHUHUT YOHOHOUR MOHOUTH!!!”

“Nah…we’re good.” The two tickler’s said sassily, giggling with each other as they said the exact same thing at the exact same time. 

Great mind think alike! 

“GEHET. OFF!” Cried the blonde, happy tears springing up in her eyes, her irises shooting out of their sockets as Grace unpredictably blew a raspberry on her stomach. 

A warning would have been nice…

“NAHAHAHAH!! GRAH— hic! GRAHAHACE!?”

“Yeeeeees?” The charcoal haired teen said innocently as Bree started to tickle Riley’s neck mercilessly. 

“OKAHAHAY!! OKAHAY!” The baby blue eyed teen screamed,  “AHALRIHIHIGHT AHAHALRIHIGHT! IHI SURRENDER!!!” 

“But we didn’t even get to your favorite spoooooot~!” The black haired teenager smirked, poking the blondie’s foot. “AHAHUGH!! NOHO! I-IHI hic DOHOHON’T HAHAVE hic hic OHONE!!!”

“Oh yeah…that’s right…you have four.” The hazelnut eyed kid taunted lightly, blowing more raspberries on Riley’s stomach as she squeezed her sides. “GRAHAHACE— hic hic NOHO PLEHEHEASE—” The taller squealed, happy tears rolling down her face as the purple cladded one of the three wiggled her fingers over the blondie’s ribs and neck.

“GUHUHUYS— SQUEAK!! IHI’M GOHOHONNA DIE!!!”

“Then. perish.” Bree said simply, tickling Riley’s neck and ribs as the tallest of the group went absolutely mad with laughter. “As I said, no one can replace you, Ri…seriously…I don’t think I met anyone who’s laughed this loud…” The girl in glasses giggled. 

“Agreed…we’ll keep in touch, go to resturants and it’ll be perfectly perfect…ish. It won’t be the same like last year but we’ll just learn to adjust—“

“IHIHI GEHET IHAT!!!” Riley screamed, her cackles dying down as her best friend’s lied down next to her; Grace on her left whilst Bree was on her right. 

“Promise?” Grace asked once more.

“Prohohomise…” The blonde snorted, wiping her eyes as she playfully glared at her best friends, “Don’t think for a second you guys are off the hook…sleep with one eye open…”

“Will do.” Bree yawned, stretching as she quietly went to sleep, Grace soon following as her eyes closed and drifted to slumber.

Riley smiled fondly at her friend’s…

…Her best friends…

Riley might not go to the same school as them anymore…but that didn’t matter.

The distance that was going to be between her and them would be…strong.

But their love and appreciation for one another was stronger…

And no damn distance would change that…

✿ // emily & wes

SEND “ ✿ ” FOR 2 HEADCANONS FOR OUR MUSES’ RELATIONSHIP.

– passado: durante a adolescência, wes teve um crush passageiro em emily durante um verão em que ela passou junto com sua família na praia. já a conhecia há anos e nunca tinha enxergado emily como uma mulher de fato, até aquele verão era somente uma das amigas de sua irmã. porém, naquele verão as coisas mudaram. era como se a tivesse enxergado pela primeira vez. na época, não era muito sutil, então lauren logo percebeu o que se passava na mente do irmão e cortou qualquer perspectiva que wes pudesse ter logo no início do verão. passaram cerca de um mês inteiro na mesma casa de praia e o davies acabou se mantendo o mais distante possível com seus amigos da época. quando voltaram para bend, foi como se aquele encanto tivesse passado um pouco e, como lauren passou a vigiá-lo de perto por um tempo, nunca fez nada além de lançar olhares furtivos à sharpe.

– futuro: emily nunca conseguiu enganá-lo com suas ideias de nomes para seus dois filhos. sabia que todas as sugestões dela tinham algo a ver com sua cantora favorita, mas somente seis meses após taylor nascer que ele descobriu uma enorme coincidência nos nomes de seus filhos. o cantor james taylor havia inspirado o nome de taylor swift e eles haviam dado ambos os nomes aos seus próprios filhos. quando foi questionar a esposa (e madison, que estava conversando com ela naquele momento) as duas o olharam com cara de paisagem, como se fosse algo completamente óbvio e de conhecimento geral. sentiu-se um pouco enganado e emily se sentiu ofendida, o que ocasionou uma briga entre os dois e wes acabou pedindo desculpas no fim de tudo isso.

Oh my God I love this so much! :D

Bruno won't say he's in love!

A little drawing for Valentine's day: Bruno singing "I won't say I'm in love" and his family behind teasing him because he's clearly in love.

At the start I thought about making it during the day so I used usual colors but since it's happening at night in the end, like in the song, I preferred changing the colors to darkening them.

Here is the original! (It was before I add the family's reply)

I based my drawing on this screenshot I took of Hercules!

Because I loved the muses's expressions on it I couldn't not choose it among my screenshots xD

Honestly it came to me because "I won't say I'm in love" is among the songs in my playlist for my fic Bruno's fangirl! Because it's perfect to represent a period during the story!
