Encantober 2023 Day 10: Help

Luisa was considered to be one of the most helpful people in the Encanto. Whenever someone needed help in the village, Luisa was there to help them with whatever was needed. While she was considered a hero in the village, Luisa always had trouble asking for help whenever it was needed, because she was scared it would make her look weak. Ever since she first got her gift, Alma pushed the idea into her head that if she asked for help with anything, she was automatically weak.

It was not until one day when she was doing chores around the village when she realized how much asking for help would be a strength rather than a weakness. It was a sunny Sunday afternoon in the Encanto, and Luisa had just finished lunch and was going into town to do some afternoon chores. She was asked to bring the donkeys back in the shed after they escaped, as always, and now it was time for her to relocate the local church again.

Once she got to the church, she lifted the building with ease and was on her way to relocate it. But once she almost got to the spot she needed to relocate the church to, she dropped it. She lifted the church building once more successfully, and walked over to relocate it, but dropped it before she could again.

Gabriela, Luisa’s best friend since first grade, noticed her struggling and walked over to see what was the matter. She saw her sitting by the church with her head buried in her knees, and her arms wrapped around them. Gabriela ran by Luisa and sat next to her, tapping her on her shoulder.

“Hola, Luisa; I couldn’t help but notice that you were upset. Is there anything that’s bothering you?” Gabriela asked as she put her hand on Luisa’s shoulder.

Luisa hesitated before she could respond. “Si; I’ve been trying to relocate the church, and while I have relocated it several times before, now, I’ve noticed I’m getting really tired after holding it for only a couple of minutes.”

Gabriela hugged her best friend as she continued crying on her shoulder. The pair have been best friends for thirteen years, Gabriela has never seen Luisa break down in front of her before. She has come to her for many things, and she was always the one to offer her help when needed, and vice versa. However, not once during that time did she ever experience Luisa so desperate for help that she broke down.

“Luisa, I want you to know that I’m here for you. I understand that you may not want my help, but I’m offering it to you. You’re my best friend in the entire world and I don’t like to see you struggle.”

Luisa stopped crying and hugged Gabriela once more when she reached her arms out for her. While she did not want to admit it at the moment, she really did need help. Knowing that Gabriela was there to ensure that she would be there put her at ease and made her more comfortable with admitting that she needed help. It made her feel like a lot of weight was taken off of her shoulders.

“Actually, Gabi, I do want your help; in fact, I need your help. You’re one of the only people I can comfortably admit to that.”

Gabriela smiled and gave Luisa another hug. She then wiped the final tear on her face and Luisa smiled at her. Gabi moved a piece of Luisa’s hair from her face and tucked it behind her ear before they got up and looked at the building.

“So, what do you need help with?” Gabriela asked.

“It’s more that I’ve been tired after a while. I guess the burnout has been getting to me since I still have trouble asking for help. Maybe I could get one side of the church and you could get the other side?”

“I’m not sure if that would be strong enough for just me. I would need many more people to help us…” Gabriela then smiled as an idea sparked in her head. “Wait here!”

Gabriela then ran off and Luisa stayed by the church to wait for the surprise that Gabriela was going to get. After about a half hour, Gabriela came back with Jose and Lucia on both sides of her.

“Since I know I’m not the only one that is able to help you, I got my siblings with me to help you!”

“Gabi told us about the pickle you’re in, so we wanted to give you a helping hand,” Lucia pointed out.

“But isn’t it still going to be too much for just the three of you?”

“They’re not the only ones,” said Gabriela.

Gabriela then revealed that Isabela, Dolores, Camilo, Mirabel, and Antonio all came with her. She was not only going to have three people help her; she was going to have eight people help! Knowing that Gabriela got her sisters and cousins to help her made her realize how much of a great friend she was. She knew she was an amazing friend since they first became friends, but this solidified how kind and helpful she was.

“So which side do you want us to be on?” Mirabel asked.

Luisa thought before she replied. I want Antonio and Lucia to be on one side with me since they’re the smallest ones. Mirabel and Jose can go on the opposite side. Camilo and Isabela can take the left side, and Dolores and Gabriela can take the right.”

All three sibling groups split up to take their side of the church building. All nine of them put their hands on the bottom of the edge of the church they were assigned. Once everyone found an area they could lift, Luisa called everyone for attention.

“Okay, on the count of three, we lift. Uno, dos tres!”

All three sibling groups lifted the church together successfully and started to move it. They started with little steps to make sure they were in sync with each other. One of the things they tried their hardest to do since repairing Casita was to use as much teamwork as they could with each other. Ever since then, they have been working together much more and it has helped them with so many things.

It was not long until they made their way to where the church was going to be relocated to. The nine of them slowly put the building down where Luisa was asked to put it. Once the building was put down, the nine of them backed away to see how it looked; they cheered and high-fived each other once they noticed how the church looked.

“It looks amazing! Gracias, Gabriela, for getting everyone to help me!” Luisa pointed out.

“De nada, Luisa; like I said, seeing you struggle doesn’t make me feel good at all. So I found everyone I could to help us.”

“It does feel pretty good to do something for the village other than growing flowers and other plants for everyone,” said Isabela.

“And doing something for the village in general feels great,” Mirabel added.

The nine children hugged each other once more to appreciate their hard work again. As much as they wanted to stay and appreciate it more, it was getting late and it was almost time for them to go home and eat dinner.

“Do you want to ask your parents if you could stay for dinner tonight? It’s the least we could do for your help,” Luisa asked.

“I would love that,” Gabriela replied.

Grandkid Roundup 🥰

[strongacetheticvibes]

i request the information pt.2

will do a finale poll after a few more

[encantobrainrot365]

Isabela: Lesbi-honest here.

Dolores: So let me get this straight?

Mirabel: More like let me run this bi you.

Camilo: Let’s just see how this pans out.

Luisa: We should ace-ess the situation.

Isabela: I’m gay.

[yellowcry]

So... I've got this idea a few months ago...

What if after the argument, instead of dying, the magic turns Madrigals' gifts into curses in order to save itself...

CW: traumas, body modifications

Isabela: The plants are growing inside of her body, replacing her flesh. Causing severe bleeding. And attempts to remove plants only making it worse. She still tries tho and gets a lot of scars from removed vines. Not like it's matter, they will be replaced with plants anyway.

Dolores: The vibration from sounds starts to affect her body. It works like electricity. Quiet sounds are painful. But loud... Loud sound can cause heart failure. She just stays in her room the entire time, isolated, so she won't die.

Luisa: Her body slowly turns into a stone statue, cell by cell. Her mobility is also dissapearing since her joints being a fused pieces of stone. No need to tell that it's extremely painful. The fact that she can see how the difficulty of the simple movements grows only makes her more terrified.

Camilo: He shapeshifts uncontrollably. His curse usually combines the details from different people, making it even worse. For example, he might have Luisa's arms with Antonio's body and legs and Mirabel's head. Everything in its original size. Or somebody's leg instead of head... There's endless possibilities.

Antonio isn't affected. He's five and he only got his gift. It would be too cruel even for the curse. So he just loses his new ability, without any effect. The other Madrigals are keeping their gifts, but control over them is awful.

Alma, Mirabel, Felix and Agústin aren't cursed as well, since they didn't have gifts to begin with. But the whole situation can be viewed as the punishment for Alma.

And I'm not sure about the triplets. I think that Julieta might get back all the injuries she ever healed and Pepa's emotions being affected be the weather. But I don't want it to be too deathly (there's no point in curse if they die instantly) or predictable (that's why Dolores'/Luisa's curses aren't based on hearing/strength) And I have no idea about Bruno. You're welcome to give me ideas about their curses

Let everybody be messy

So Primos is coming out in a few days. It looks bland (I've never seen Loud House or Casagrandes); mostly I'm still mad at how the main voice actress spoke about the controversy. There is, however 'good for children' it may be, one thing that stood out to me about this show and what it was being criticized for and that's the backgrounds.

Tater and her family have a very messy, unkept house. Not hoarder bad but messy. Among the talk of the show being racist and making latinos look bad, this was one talking point I remember people harping on: that the messy house was demeaning to hispanic people and made them look ''dirty''.

The thing is, while I don't condone things like unsafe plugs being shown on screen, I myself have grown up in and around a lot of messy homes. I don't think it's inherent strike against the show to have the reality of messy homes be a part of the visuals - or, to put it another way, I think it's sad that me and my white family can be messy and get nothing for it but a latino home gets deemed 'gross' or 'unsanitary' for the same thing. Messy homes happen. Especially when you are busy and ESPECIALLY if you have kids.

My paternal grandma was a dean of graduate studies at a university. It was a prestigious job and she was the matriarch of our family because of it, but she did NOT have gigantic house. She was busy grading essays, dissertations and finals in her room all day. She also had SEVEN kids and lots of grandkids who were all trying but unable to truly clean after themselves all the time so the house was always cluttered. Because she was always so busy and so was every one of her children, we didn't eat luxurious things and her kitchen was especially wrecked.

I don't have pictures, but to put it a different way I'm not ashamed of that reality. It wasn't hoarding, it was just what being in a house owned by that person and filled up with my whole family was like.

My grandma was Polish-American. I just find it sad that for any non-white family this real-but-expected outcome of living is seen as making you look bad. That's just not fair.

There's a lot of things that should be seen as universally quirky or just part of living that I see people of color get judged for. (cw: non-mutilated but still very much human-corpse) Caitlyn Doughty did a whole video about it with a rapper who wanted his body propped up like he was DJing at his funeral. A white biker got to be buried on his bike; it's unfair that we see it as 'creepy' or 'gross' if a BIPOC person does it. It's not creepy and gross. There are customs in world cultures that ought to die because they are bad for everyone (Russia and circus bears; east Asia and Ikizukuri, cockfighting anywhere, America and rattlesnake roundups, something that's not animal-related but I'm stuck on the animal ones rn sorry, ect) but then there are customs which are not fair to judge or rule as evil because they aren't 'yours'. In other news, water is wet. And, if it isn't customs, it's double standards.

Let everyone be their own trashy. You don't know their lives. Leave people with messy homes alone. If it's not hoarding or distinctly unsafe it's not fair of you to judge. And if it being grubby or messy around a person's home leads you to think less of them as people and as a culture, get a life! That's a you problem!

SOO MANT KIDS KN OUR HOUSE SK LETS THRN THE SOUND UP CMON JWO I THINK ITS TIME FOR A GRANDKID ROUNDUP (GRANDKID ROUNDUP)

[thesoftboiledegg]

I wasn't expecting to do a roundup when I hit the mall today. I went to Rue 21 and didn't see anything new. Nothing new at Hot Topic, and the streetwear booth rarely has new designs, which makes no sense to me because searching "rick and morty gangster" provides a wealth of images to steal.

I didn't think Spencer's would have new merchandise either, but I decided to hold my breath and go in there anyway.

If you don't have a Spencer's in your area, you probably wonder why I complain about it. This is a taster of what I have to endure:

I was about to take that second picture when a little girl ran over and started squeezing the boob ball. I guess she didn't know what it was. (Or did she? 🤔)

Spencer's is 4chan if it were a store. But when I walked around the store, I couldn't believe that I doubted whether they'd have merchandise. Their dedication to Rick and Morty makes the rest of us look like chumps.

Finally, a poster for the Rick fuckers who want a shirtless Rick on their wall! I actually love the colors and style. It's nice to see merchandise that's a little different. Trippy artwork captures the show's spirit more than those generic season one images that we see everywhere.

This design isn't new, but it's the first time that I've seen it on a cannabis jar.

I love the illustrations on this wallet. They're so vibrant.

A hat with Rick insects (or Ricksects) on it. Definitely a little different.

Pajama pants featuring Evil Morty! I don't see him on merchandise that often.

And Pickle Rick was back in stock. Man, I never get tired of seeing that guy!

Finally, I stopped in one of the "nerd" stores before the mall closed. Looks like they got a new poster in stock but without a color picture.

When is the merchandise going to catch up to the series? I've seen one season five calendar and Mr. Nimbus on shirts and boxers, and that's it. Nothing from season six. Nearly everything is from seasons 1-3 with the occasional season four appearance. I guess Rick is less marketable when he's acting like a human being instead of yelling hoarsely at his grandkids.

Anyway, Spencer's has a whole rack full of boob merchandise, so if you've ever watched the series and thought "Man, I wish I could go to Boob World!"--it's here, and it's in the mall.

i've been mentally or out-loud singing the intro song from encanto just, every day multiple times a day for the past couple months. not even "we don't talk about bruno," but "the family madrigal," which, why is THAT such an ear worm

I was thinking to myself the other day, usually when I do that, it's because of a trigger word (not as in trauma. possibly as in a CIA representative though). for example, if i'm talking to myself and say "you know," i start singing/humming Sweet Bod from lemon demon ("you know, you know, you know, it isn't sexual" etc) but I couldn't imagine what the hell kind of word I've been doing that for

i finally realized.

it's the word "ok."

as in, when maribel goes "ok ok ok ok" before the grandkid roundup

😑 brain. why are you like this

[yellowcry]

Isabela: It's booring...

Mirabel: Agree... Do you have any hobbies to share?

Isabela: growing crazy plants

Dolores: Spying on people

Luisa: Overworking

Camilo: Commuting theft

Mirabel: I guess this is no
