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 😔

[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.

[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.
