Ohhh, Sometimes women's breast get clogged up with milk, könig would use this as the perfect opportunity to be close to you and massage your chest to help, he's just so sweet helping you out like that.😊

Omg omg omg of course he’d help her!!!

CW: Postpartum phase, children, light angst, breast stimulation, yandere undertones.

König has become soft ever since the baby was born.

You read somewhere that men's testosterone levels suffer a significant drop after they become fathers, which perhaps explains why he looks like a melting marshmallow in hot cocoa these days. König's stare has always followed you wherever you go but now that you're carrying his child in your arms, the looks he gives you are far more… benevolent. You suspect he must be proud of you, first carrying the baby for nine long months and then suffering an arduous birth - because of course this titan's baby weighed over 8 pounds - and now you're giving your everything to the soft little thing König calls "his kleine Butterblume."

You're in a baby bubble together, but not all days are heavenly and sweet. And now, on top of everything else, your breast is clogged. The lady at the maternity clinic told you this is a common issue and can easily be dealt with at home, but the instructions you received left you staring off into space for a few moments.

Later that evening, the problem is still very much acute, and you're getting desperate.

When you go to König and beg him to help you, there is a sharp intake of breath just before he nods. An odd striptease show ensues in silence: you're puffy and swollen and sore, you feel like a wreck as you take off your shirt and bra. König has always referred to you as a flower or a heavenly being, but now, you must resemble a sullen bloom at the end of July. Overblown and weary, heavy and plush, petals pouting, falling if someone were to touch them.

You feel like crying from seeing that König still worships you with his stare. If anything, he seems to approve of the extra pounds and your devastated state, only looks you up and down with boundless hunger, silent but with a heaving chest. When you're bare, he rises, and you're turned around and pulled in a stout embrace. Large, warm hands land over your poor, aching breasts, and you quickly remind him to be gentle - the instructions were to pet the breasts like you would a cat. He rumbles a dark laugh against your back, and then the hands start to massage you, blessedly soft but imperious.

Your sighs grow heavy and weary. It hurts a little, but the relief is imminent. Your head rolls back to rest on the mountain of his chest, and then you begin to sob.

You let it all come out as a series of soft, sad little whines: how tired you are, how the baby is far more work than you thought, how your breasts hurt all the time and how you don't even know if you're doing things right. How you just want to sleep…

He rubs you through your breakdown, and it's soothing to be held by someone as strong as König… But then he pants a hot wish in your ear.

"I thought we'd soon make another one..."

"Mh, wha–another one?"

"Ja, sicher. We must make three or four at least. Oder?"

You are about to collapse, about to faint, but can't because a demigod is keeping you from falling.

"Don't worry little lily. I know you need to rest first. I'll wait a few more weeks."

"König–"

You shudder as his thumbs brush over your nipples.

"Am I doing it right?" He asks with a low, soft purr.

Your mind is in disarray, a trophy from not getting enough sleep for months, and you're tired of struggling against his indomitable will. First things first, you think, stuffing the earlier conversation somewhere into the recesses of your exhausted mind.

"Um. The lady said you should–that you could… try to suck them too," you breathe with unease.

"Ist das so?"

You're moved to the bed before you can even whimper.

...Is he so eager to do this?

Of course he is; you haven't had sex in months. He's only had his own calloused hand to keep him company, and you've been too tired to even think about such things. Your body has become a stranger to you, and when he moves to crawl on top of you, it only looks like the prowl of an apex predator.

The coarse stubble of his chin makes you flinch – it's like an array of tiniest daggers caressing your breasts. When he takes your aching nipple into his warm mouth, you shudder. It feels utterly different to have a grown man sucking on your tits; it's ten times more demanding, a hundred times more intense when the man in question is König. The hunger, the overstimulation, the exhaustion make your head spin, his mouth and tongue force you to release your stress in shakes. Before you even know it, there are tears streaming down your face.

He doesn't stop. Probably thinks it's only a good thing that you get it all out of your system. He must feel good about himself for making you cry while lapping and sucking at your breasts, he rubs, licks, and nibs until you're sniffling and wailing on that bed.

"Little angel… I've never been this hard," he pants on your slathered, slick nipple. "Do you know what it does to a man to look but never touch?"

Your tiny, weary heart is flapping against its cage. "König, we can't make another one… I can't, I can't, not yet…"

"Ah… But if I promise I'll pull out?"

Pre the “love you” first HCs, can you do a flirting hc of how the jjk boys would woo their crush before falling in love? ♥️

˚ ༘₊· ͟͟͞͞꒰➳ how did they woo you before falling in love? (feat. gojo, geto, nanami)

minors / ageless blogs / blank blogs - do not interact

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ tags:  fluff; only soft things

notes: anon, I am so excited to write this request for you! if anyone wants to read the previous hc's you can find them here & here. I'm just writing this out for the characters that I already wore about.

˚ ༘₊· ͟͟͞͞꒰➳ Gojo

In the beginning, courting you was simple. Satoru would go all out by treating you to fancy dinner dates. He constantly surprised you with little gifts of flowers, chocolates, and jewelry. Throwing money as a way to earn your affection was easy, and he didn't have to think about making any effort when his feelings came wrapped up in a pretty bow.

In between the many text messages and phone calls, Satoru would spend any free moment he had with you, but he could tell that you were responding to his gestures with a forced smile. You've only been dating for a short while but you were suddenly unimpressed by everything he had to offer. The spark in your eyes started to fizzle and he knew that you might be reconsidering this relationship altogether.

He understands that he isn't the easiest man to love - he can't exactly commit himself to you, and he's usually inaccessible because of his duties as a sorcerer. There's nothing about Gojo's world that accommodates another person, but he moved mountains to make it happen.

"How about we stay in tonight?" he asked one evening, his arms circling your waist and his blue eyes taking in your shocked expression reflecting from the mirror.

"But...I'm already dressed..." you replied with confusion, looking at your outfit that you thoughtfully put together with disappointment.

"Trust me, I have a better idea..."

You were sitting on a stool, resting your elbows on the kitchen island while watching with intrigue as your lover, who is one of the wealthiest men in the country, struggle to cook a decent meal for you.

The apron barely fit Satoru's long torso, and his clothes were stained with oil and sauce. He spent a majority of the time complaining about why things weren't working correctly but you were smiling throughout the whole experience. By the end, your cheeks were killing you from how much you were laughing. Satoru made it across the finish line with his hair tousled and his cheeks red. The counters were a complete mess, and you even bit back a teasing comment about how terrible his plating looked.

Despite the chaos that he ensued, the food tasted absolutely delicious. You swallowed every bite as you stared at him with nothing but tender eyes. The vibrant smile plastered across his face wasn't his smug satisfaction for accomplishing this task but relief that the fading spark as blooming into a warm flame.

He wasn't going to lose you.

He made gentle love to you that night, listening to every breath and swallowing your pretty moans. He used the moment as opportunity to reconnect with your body, and in many ways, tether himself back to your heart.

Satoru Gojo earned your love. He fought hard to keep it by showing you that he was worth all the trouble.

Geto

Suguru's dates were a simple combination of getting together and talking. These intimate conversations strengthened your relationship, until there was nothing that you couldn't discuss. Suguru cracked open his skull, and you were met with a beautiful mind full of complex thoughts and emotions. He fascinated you in every way possible and wasn't afraid to express his real feelings.

He constantly reassured you that his heart was yours.

Even though you knew Suguru from the inside out at this point, there was still a level of mystery that surrounded him which kept things interesting. The man was the most spontaneous person you knew and that made him unpredictable. You learned over time that he never liked making solid plans, and approached dating you on what he was feeling rather than seeing it as something obligatory.

Your first trip together was planned out one afternoon in your bedroom. Suguru was just scrolling through his phone when he saw a small air bnb in the countryside that he liked. You kept every token from that weekend trip together. You visited a hot spring, hiked through beautiful nature pathways, and found the tiniest little restaurants that served the most delicious meals.

Your last night together was spent with the two of you snuggling in one another's arms while making love in between. He was keeping you close to his chest, his delicate fingers trailing your spine as he stared out the window watching a strip of warm color slice through the twilight sky.

"I don't want to leave," he whispered - his voice a little hoarse and exhausted from the long night.

You nuzzled into him, your leg tightening over his thigh as your hand finds his and you interlace your fingers.

"Maybe...maybe, we can stay one more night..." you sigh, feeling his thumb stroke the back of your hand lovingly.

You don't see the tick on his lip or the cheeky smile that follows soon after. He kisses the top of your head as he relaxes into the mattress.

"We've both got work tomorrow..."

"True, but I'm sure we can think of something..."

His chest vibrates when he chuckles and he releases a long exhale as he shifts his position. He turns to his side, curling his strong arm over your body and hugs you close to his torso. He's quite aware of how happy he is as he watches you fall asleep in his arms, and all he can think about is how he would gladly go to bed with you beside him every single night.

Suguru's courtship felt like an intimate waltz; from the moment he held your gaze, he lured you into a rhythmic dance that only ended on one note. The longer you swayed to the tune of his music, the more you realized that falling in love with a man like him was inevitable.

Nanami

Nanami's courtship of you reminded you an endangered love - one that was dwindling in such a fast paced culture. He approached dating you with a level of patience and in doing so, he wooed you in a way that left butterflies in your stomach and tingles up your spine.

Nanami wasn't shy about expressing his interest towards you and he was a gentleman in how he handled romancing you. He preferred taking you out on intimate dates - like cozy dinners, visits to museums or art galleries, and walks to the park. He had a keen interest in getting to know y ou, and was conscious about his behavior for the sake of your comfort.

Over time, you watched his personality unravel before your eyes. He had a way of making you laugh with his witty humor, and you soon learned that he was far more laid back than what he presented himself to be. His intelligence made for really interesting conversations, and he always spoke to you with the utmost respect. He had a way of making you feel protected and his restraint worked out in his favor because you felt safe enough to gamble your heart with him.

Then there was the other side to Nanami, the part of him that would appear on occasion with every teasing touch and flirtatious comment that left your cheeks scorching with heat. His eyes would darken with lust when he transitioned from the gentleman to charmer. Nanami's strong attention to detail had him reading your body language in a way that no man ever could. He took his time to figure out how to kiss you, to touch you, to fuck you and make love to you.

"Can I ask you a question?" you asked him the morning after you slept together for the first time.

He shifted his gaze away from his laptop and looked at you leaning against the wall. You were dressed in his white t-shirt, wearing nothing underneath except your underwear. Your fingers were clenched around the mug of tea that he gave you, and he quirked his brow at your sudden nervous demeanor.

"Anything you want."

You shifted your weight from one foot to the next. "It might be a stupid question..."

At this point your lover stood up from his seat. He walked over to you, placing both hands on your waist and giving you a light squeeze. He brought his lips down to your cheek where he planted a soft kiss, before casually asking, "what's on your mind?"

He finds it adorable when you question if this means that you're both committed to one another and Nanami doesn't even hide his gut wrenching smile when he gives you a sincere confirmation.

"I don't know about you," he teases, "but there has been no one else for me since we met."

"There has been no one else for me either!" you insist, "I just wanted to make sure we were on the same page before I go around and start calling you my boyfriend..."

"Boyfriend, huh?"

His tone is playful, but it's the way his voice deepens with that question that made your heart skip a beat.

"I mean, what else am I supposed to call you?"

His expression softens, and he's thankful that you can't see the thoughts running through his mind at that very moment.

"You can call me whatever you want, my love..." he replied with a kiss to your temple, knowing full well that he was working his way towards achieving a prospective title that would suit him better considering he was already picturing you as his wife.

Lenormand PAC: Messages From the Eclipsed Sun 🔆🌑😎

Sup y'all. Welcome to my lil end-of-March reading! Thank you for voting in the polls for April's next PAC topic for the 1 year special, which will be coming up next. Also thank you very, very much once again for participating in my 2nd tarot game! I'm still answering feedback and I'm glad so many of you enjoyed it as I did. I'm looking forward to the next game in summer (possibly a Midsummer game? 🧚‍♀️🐈🎶☀)

I was shuffling my Alchemy Elements deck and noticed that three random cards I pulled out were from the Sun suit (the four suits in this oracle are Moon, Sun, Star, and Earth). I had no topic in mind, so I allowed different mystery messages to come through. These light messages will be relevant to you as you pass through the new moon solar eclipse and all through the next lunar month.

Pick which one of the three sun cards resonates with you:

Flower 💐 Animal 🐎 River 🌊

Pile 1. Flower 💐

Gratitude, Bird of Paradise, Knowledge; Mountain, Astral Travel, Tower, Promise, Garden

The world outside is calling you, pile 1. You can't smell the roses blooming if you keep containing yourself under the roof. The beautiful days want you to explore and wander like a child discovering nature for the first time. Perhaps there are flowers you've never seen up close, maybe it's been a while since nature gave you new things to learn and marvel. Botanical gardens are filled with surprises, as are concrete cracks in the city.

Your hands seem too easily tied up in the working world, fulfilling task after task as if every day was meant to be the same. I see a person staring outside their cubicle, wondering when they'll find the time to make it to the park. Wondering when they'll be able to go to that fair, or practice surf lessons. Wondering, hoping, dreaming of the day when the walls can come down, and there will be no separation between daily life and the life filled with endless creative possibilities, waiting to be picked and weaved into crowns.

The path is neither just up ahead, nor light years away; it's right in front of you now. Accept the moment you find yourself in, even if it's impossible, because the surprises you are looking for are already surrounding you. It may feel like you have to climb far to see any hope of change, but you're asked to find stillness and beauty hidden within the climb. Even if you're not wandering through a field of wildflowers yet, there may be chance blossoms within your reach. Be thankful for the present peace you find. Ivy wraps around ivory walls; nature will find a way to you.

Wherever you intend to go, you may need to leave behind the opinions of others that don't help or encourage you. Let them have their perspectives, for they have their own paths to walk. You have yours waiting just outside the door. The light outside may overwhelm you, but it beckons you to appreciate what it has in store for you. So much more awaits you. But what you have today is just as beautiful.

Pile 2. Animal 🐎

Balance, Lenten Rose, Insight; Letter, Mirage, Heart, Bouquet, Moon

I hope the sun brings you brighter days, pile 2. There are friends (including animal friends!) who want to bask under the warm luminous skies with you. This time encourage us to stretch our arms out, walk with an extra skip, and enjoy what tomorrow has in store. However, there is anxiety keeping you held in, preventing you from racing ahead. You are being called to expand, move your body, and find ways to embrace joyful freedom more.

Before email and mail trucks were a thing, we had pony mail, which could take weeks to arrive to your mailbox. The information you're receiving doesn't match up to the reality you're soon living in. By the time you're reading the newspaper you have, another one will be on its way, contradicting the one in your hands. Reading over and over can help us feel ready to take on the world, but does it? Or is it keeping you in a loop of confirming news that confirms the news that conforms to the news you're expecting?

Newsflash: the most important place, the space that occurs before it's recorded in the papers, is the place your attention should focus on. If you can meet up with your friends in person, try hanging out with them outside of chatting online. Allow yourself to experience life alongside someone, to feel the wind in your hair as they drive; if you have a pet, spend an afternoon with them on a long walk. A friendly person who can help you desires connection.

Life is a mix of bright and sunny days, mixed with cloudy and rainy days. There are days to be serious and days to be goofy. There are times to stay at home online and times to go out with others. There are moments to feel sadness and worry, and moments of humor and happiness. Take it easy on yourself, pile 2, and whatever topic has you fixated on it, allow yourself the chance to step outside, walk away, and feel the light of the sun and moon on your face.

Pile 3. River 🌊

Desire, Cyclamen, Reminiscence; Tree, Protection, Animus, Star, Crossroads

It's okay to not know everything about your path ahead, pile 3. You may be figuring things out as you go along, without any set marker. You're being reminded that whatever path you take, things will turn out okay. Many twists and turns can make a long river, but you will be prepared. It's safe to keep moving in the flow with the currents. When the rolling waves seem slow and steady, it's best to ride along with it, for you have more time than you think to row through.

At times you may desire to keep your boat docked, unable to leave the shore and its many amenities. You may look back on what you used to love (or perhaps found addicting) and wish it were easier to wave it away. Don't be afraid to take souvenirs with you, to remind you of the good times you had. It'll make the transition smoother for when it's time to depart to your next destination. Big changes often require carrying things lightly.

Your north star is shining its beacon out to you. To find it, you must make it; to make it, you must find it. You must set your course by getting clear on where you most want to go. No one else can make this choice for you, for it's your unique trip. The map is with you, provided to you by years of experience and growth. There may be many different distractions, and it's okay to stop to them first just to explore instead of making it to the end goal right away. It's all part of your grand adventure, and the many secrets and surprises make it all the more exciting..

When there's a wish, there's a way. You have the drive within you to set sail towards your greatest yearning in life. Even if it doesn't seem it, you are able to channel the bravery and passion from within. When the skies are dark and you cannot navigate with the stars, you can look to the light beaming out from your soul to find your own way.

I am waiting on a miracle, a miracle

Silver(11): Liv, this?

Just . . . the lyrics for Encanto's Waiting for a Miracle.

Lin-Manuel Miranda's word choices. His rhyming.

He perfectly captures a 15-year-old's longing to be equal to her exceptional relatives, to be more than she is. Better than a hell of a lot of middle-grade novels I've read over the past two years.

Don't be upset or mad at all Don't feel regret or sad at all Hey, I'm still a part of the family Madrigal And I'm fine, I am totally fine I will stand on the side as you shine I'm not fine, I'm not fine

I can't move the mountains I can't make the flowers bloom I can't take another night up in my room Waiting on a miracle

I can't heal what's broken Can't control the morning rain or a hurricane Can't keep down the unspoken invisible pain Always waiting on a miracle, a miracle

Always walking alone Always wanting for more Like I'm still at that door longing to shine Like all of you shine

All I need is a change All I need is a chance All I know is I can't stay on the side Open your eyes, open your eyes, open your eyes

I would move the mountains Make new trees and flowers grow Someone please just let me know, where do I go? I am waiting on a miracle, a miracle

I would heal what's broken Show this family something new Who I am inside, so what can I do? I'm sick of waiting on a miracle, so here I go

I am ready, come on, I'm ready I've been patient, and steadfast, and steady Bless me now as you blessed us all those years ago When you gave us a miracle Am I too late for a miracle?

The animation is perfect as well. How Mirabel moves, her expressions. The direction enhances the lyrics. Her going through the door to her grandmother. The telling green firework framing her head as she declares that she's ready for a transformation (green is Bruno's color).

When I get stuck trying to figure out who my characters are I think of them as Disney musical animation characters. I imagine their "I Want" songs, for the protagonist as well as the antagonist. I don't necessarily write lyrics for them (I'm no poet), but I visualize their answers when I ask. "What do you want?"

[music-in-my-veins14]

I can't move the mountains I can't make the flowers bloom I can't take another night Up in my room Waiting on a miracle I can't heal what's broken Can't control the morning rain or a hurricane Can't keep down the unspoken invisible pain Always waiting on a miracle, a miracle

❝ No matter the height of the mountain, the climbing is the same. ❞

* . ✧ CROOKED KINGDOM ✧ . * STARTERS

Aurelius is a little ways ahead, twirling a purple wildflower in his hands as he politely waits for Baizhu to catch up. The autumn chill is still tucked into the dew-covered grass at their feet on this early morning trip up Savior's Respite. Apparently, a rare variety of herb bloomed on its cliffs only in the first hours of the sun, and harvesting it by hand while the flowers were open was the best way to ensure its potency in medicinal brews later. The angel looks back as Baizhu speaks, the rising sun catching his golden hair and making it glisten softly.

Without exception, he looks immaculate—even at 7AM in the morning.

"Is that why you refused my offer of a lift, Dr. Baizhu?"

"As affiliates, I'm more than happy to offer you one when you need it."

The founder of Sanctus Clinic and the owner of Bubu Pharmacy were far from being close, but cooperated for professional reasons. After Baizhu had discovered a key ingredient out of stock for an important prescriptions, he'd headed for the cliffs himself—it was too early to rouse the pharmacy's herb gatherers to collect them in his place.

Apparently, the angel he ran into on the way was on a rare morning walk today.

"Some exercise is good for the health," Baizhu replies with a smile, even if he has to pause in his climb to speak. "The flowers are also very delicate...we wouldn't want your wings to disturb them when you landed."

"Self-control is one of my stronger traits, doctor."

"I don't doubt that. But isn't there a saying about patience and virtue?"

"Hah." Aurelius arches a brow, then looks back to the flower in his hands. He lets it go and the flower magically floats in the air, before flying up to the peak ahead of them both. "And I suppose consideration for one's juniors walk hand-in-hand with it."

He stops making offers however, and matches Baizhu's pace for the rest of the climb.

—

The flowers Baizhu wants grow (of course) on the sheer face of Savior's Respite, and he once again refuses Aurelius' offerings of help to descend the heights himself. This was no different from scaling any of Liyue's plentiful mountains; he only had to pace himself while securing himself on handholds.

It's also easy enough to harvest the plants he wants, though a few need more nudging along the roots; Baizhu spends a good amount of time wrangling with one stubborn specimen while Aurelius looks from above, hands in his pockets and a bemused expression on his face.

At last he wrests it free, but so does the section of rock attached to it. Baizhu grabs the plant before it falls to the abyss below, his other hand tensing too hard on his handhold in exchange—and that one slips, unable to recover its grip on the damp, mist-drenched surface. He's plummeting into the depths next minute, eyes wide as they raise to meet Aurelius and his same, amused look.

It takes Baizhu a second before he realizes the angel has no intention to move from his spot.

It takes him another to recall the legends of Savior's Respite—a beautiful lookout tinged with tales of death and sacrifice, the bodies falling over its edge to the unforgiving ground below.

Of course death wouldn't be permanent, but he can't help but think of Kratos next, and the creased brows of his lover when he mentioned how the pharmacy had affiliated itself with Aurelius' clinic. Personal misgivings aside, there was nothing wrong in two organizations working together to better Isola as a whole. He'd said as much, and promised to be careful, but.

He's falling, and Aurelius is smiling, and the tiniest sliver of doubt creeps into his mind. Was it all—

The next second, Baizhu's body lurches of its own will, defying gravity to fly up the cliff and land back among the flowers on its peak. He's a little unsteady when his feet meet the ground, but even that straightens itself out shortly, and Baizhu's left breathing rapidly in place as his heart pounds in his chest.

"You are a hard taskmaster, doctor."

The pharmacist's head whips up to see Aurelius standing before him, eyes inspecting his body from head to toe.

"No wings, no flying—what else could I do? To avoid disturbing your flowers, I had to bring you back here with my mind alone." Golden irises flicked to the blossom still clutched in Baizhu's hands before they curved into crescents. "Fortunately, you didn't drop it in the process. Is it still usable?"

Baizhu's fingers slowly clench and unclench. In the end, he settles for a deep breath before opening the pouch at his side to drop the flower in with the others. "Yes, that much disturbance won't affect it. ...Thank you for your assistance, Mr. Vane-Tempest."

"You'd do better putting in a nice word for me with your partner," Aurelius replies. He holds up his hand, and the little purple wildflower he'd sent flying before drifts back into his fingers for another twirl. "Klaus wants us to get along, but what can I do when neither of us likes to meet? He doesn't look like the type to be forced."

Gradually feeling his limbs again, Baizhu's a little distracted when he replies. "To be honest, I'm not sure how much weight my words would carry."

"Are you not close?" Aurelius tilts his head to ask, genuinely surprised.

"In this case, I think we're the ones with a distant relationship."

"That's true." For a second Aurelius stops to consider Baizhu's words. Then he's smiling again as he opens his palm—and lets the purple wildflower float across the distance between them until it tucks itself snugly behind one of Baizhu's ears.

"We can consider getting closer after this, Dr. Baizhu. On account of me saving your life, I hope you won't refuse."

The climb is done and the herbs safely collected away. Seeing as it's almost time for Klaus to return from his morning jog, Aurelius waves Baizhu farewell before taking to the skies like a golden bird in flight.

Waiting On A Miracle (Balan Wonderworld Edition)

Another Encanto song! It's sung by Kaylo as usual! Enjoy!

(Kaylo's Verse)

Don't be upset or mad at all

Don't feel regret or sad at all

Hey, I'm still a part of The Balanced Family

And I'm fine, I'm totally fine

I will stand by the side as you shine

I'm not fine, I'm not fine

I can't move the mountains

I can't make the flowers bloom

I can't take another night

Up in my room

Waiting on a miracle

I can't heal what's broken

Can't control the water in any way

Can't keep down the unspoken loneliness away

I'm always waiting on a miracle, a miracle

Always walking alone, always wanting for more

Like I'm still at the door, longing to shine like all of you shine

All I need is a change

All I need is a chance

All I know is I can't stay on the side

Open your eyes, open your eyes, open your eyes

I can't fly to any height

I can't hear everything around me

All I want is for everyone to see

I am waiting on a miracle

I can't create any art

Can't speak to animals or create fire

Still there is just one thing that I most desire

I'm still waiting on a miracle, a miracle

Always longed to fit in

Always wanted to shine

Like I have a talent all on my own just for the world to see

All I want is to see

That there still is hope for me

All I know is that there's still an opportunity

But I'll never control ice

Nor will I clean everything or stop time

But I know that I can't change who I want to be

That's why I would move the mountains

Make new trees and flowers grow

Someone please, just let me know, where do I go?

I am waiting on a miracle, a miracle

I would heal what's broken

Show this family something new

Who I am inside, so what can I do?

I'm sick of waiting on a miracle, so here I go

I am ready, come on, I'm ready

I've been patient and steadfast and steady

Bless me now as you blessed us all those years ago

When you gave us a miracle

Am I too late for a miracle?

"Bless me now as you blessed us all those years ago."

"When you gave us a miracle!"

"Am I too late for a miracle?"

Surface Pressure

"I'm the strong one, I'm not nervous!"

"I'm as tough as the crust of the earth is."

"I move mountains, I move churches, and I glow 'cause I know what my worth is."

"I don't ask how hard the work is,"

"Got a rough, indestructible surface."

"Diamonds and platinum, I find 'em, I flatten 'em, I take what I'm handed, I break what's demanded."

"But under the surface I feel berserk as a tightrope walker in a three-ring circus."

"Under the surface, was Hercules ever like 'Yo, I don't wanna fight Cerberus'?"

"Under the surface, I'm prеtty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of sеrvice."

"A flaw or a crack, the straw in the stack, that breaks the camel's back what breaks the camel's back?"

"It's pressure like a drip, drip, drip, that'll never stop."

"Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop!"

"Give it to your sister, your sister's older, give her all the heavy things we can't shoulder."

"Who am I if I can't run with the ball?"

"If I fall to pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it won't let go."

"Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow."

"Give it to your sister, your sister's stronger, see if she can hang on a little longer."

"Who am I if I can't carry it all?"

"If I falter?"

"Under the surface, I hide my nerves and it worsens, I worry something is gonna hurt us."

"Under the surface, the ship doesn't swerve as it heard how big the iceberg is."

"Under the surface, I think about my purpose, can I somehow preserve this?"

"Line up the dominoes, a light wind blows, you try to stop it tumbling but on and on it goes."

"But wait, if I could shake the crushing weight, of expectations would that free some room up for joy?"

"Or relaxation? Or simple pleasure?"

"Instead we measure this growing pressure."

"Keeps growing, keep going 'cause all we know is pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop."

"Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop."

"Give it to your sister, it doesn't hurt and see if she can handle every family burden."

"Watch as she buckles and bends but never breaks, no mistakes, just pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it won't let go."

"Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow!"

"Give it to your sister and never wonder if the same pressure would've pulled you under."

"Who am I if I don't have what it takes?"

"No cracks, no breaks, no mistakes."

"No pressure."

We Don't Talk About Bruno

"We don't talk about Bruno, no, no, no."

"We don't talk about Bruno, but!"

"It was my wedding day."

"It was our wedding day!"

"We were getting ready, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky."

"No clouds allowed in the sky!"

"Bruno walks in with a mischievous grin."

"Thunder!"

"You telling this story or am I?"

"I'm sorry, mi vida, go on."

"Bruno says, 'It looks like rain'."

"Why did he tell us?"

"In doing so, he floods my brain!"

"Abuela, get the umbrellas!"

"Married in a hurricane!"

"What a joyous day but anyway."

}We don't talk about Bruno, no, no, no!"

"We don't talk about Bruno."

}Hey, grew to live in fear of Bruno stuttering or stumbling, I can always hear him sort of muttering and mumbling."

"I associate him with the sound of falling sand."

"It's a heavy lift with a gift so humbling, always left Abuela and the family fumbling."

"Grappling with prophecies they couldn't understand."

"Do you understand?"

"A seven-foot frame, rats along his back, when he calls your name it all fades to black."

"Yeah, he sees your dreams and feasts on your screams!"

"He told me my fish would die, the next day, dead!"

"He told me I'd grow a gut and just like he said!"

"He said that all my hair would disappear, now, look at my head!"

"Your fate is sealed when your prophecy is read."

"He told me that the life of my dreams, would be promised, and someday be mine."

"He told me that my power would grow like the grapes that thrive on the vine."

"Óye, Mariano's on his way."

"He told me that the man of my dreams would be just out of reach."

"Betrothed to another!"

"It's like I hear him, now."

"Hey sis, I want not a sound out of you."

"It's like I can hear him now, I can hear him, now!"

"Um, Bruno."

"Yeah, about that Bruno."

"I really need to know about Bruno, gimme the truth and the whole truth, Bruno."

"Isabela, your boyfriend's here!"

"Time for dinner!"

"He's here!"

"Don't talk about Bruno, no."

"Why did I talk about Bruno?"

"Not a word about Bruno."

"I never shoulda brought up Bruno."

What Else Can I Do?

"I just made something unexpected."

"Something sharp, something new."

"It's not symmetrical or perfect, but it's beautiful."

"And it's mine."

"What else can I do?"

"Bring it in, bring it in."

"Good talk! Bring it in, bring it in."

"I grow rows and rows of roses, flor de mayo by the mile."

"I make perfect, practiced poses."

"So much hides behind my smile."

"What could I do if I just grew what I was feeling in the moment?"

"Do you know where you're going? Whoa!"

"What could I do if I just knew it didn't need to be perfect? It just needed to be, and they let me be?"

"A hurricane of jacarandas!"

"Strangling figs, hanging vines."

"Palma de cera fills the air as I climb and I push through!"

"Can I deliver us a river of sundew?"

"Careful, it's carnivorous, a little just won't do."

"I wanna feel the shiver of something new."

"I'm so sick of pretty I want something true, don't you?"

"It just seems like your life's been a dream since the moment you opened your eyes."

"How far do these roots go down?"

"All I know are the blossoms you grow, but it's awesome to see how you rise!"

"How far can I rise?"

"Through the roof, to the skies let's go!"

"What can you do when you are deeply, madly, truly in the moment?"

"Seize the moment, keep goin'!"

"What can you do when you know who you wanna be isn't perfect?"

"But I'll still be okay!"

"Hey, everybody clear the way!"

"I'm coming through with tabebuia."

"She's coming through with that booyah!"

"Making waves, changing minds!"

"You've changed mine."

"The way is clearer 'cause you're here, and well I owe this all to you."

"Show 'em what you can do!"

"There's nothing you can't do!"

All of You

"Look at this home, we need a new foundation."

"It may seem hopeless but we'll get by just fine."

"Look at this family, a glowing constellation so full of stars and everybody wants to shine."

"But the stars don't shine, they burn."

"And the constellations shift."

"I think it's time you learn you're more than just your gift."

"And I'm sorry I held on too tight, just so afraid I'd lose you too."

"The miracle is not some magic that you've got, the miracle is you, not some gift, just you."

"The miracle is you all of you, all of you."

"Okay, so we gonna talk about Bruno?"

"That's Bruno!"

"Yeah, there's a lot to say about Bruno, I'll start, okay!"

"Pepa, I'm sorry 'bout your wedding, didn't mean to be upsetting. That wasn't a prophecy, I could just see you were sweating, and I wanted you to know that your bro loves you so let it in, let it out, let it rain, let it snow, let it go!"

"That's what I'm always saying, bro."

"Got a lotta 'pologies I got to say."

"Hey, we're just happy that you're here, okay?"

"Uh–"

"But–"

"Come into the light, the triplets all reunite!"

"And no matter what happens we're gonna find our way."

"Yo, I knew he never left, I heard him every day!"

"What's that sound?"

"I think it's everyone in town."

"Hey! Lay down your load, we are only down the road, we have no gifts, but we are many. And we'll do anything for you!"

"It's a dream when we work as a team!"

"You're so strong!"

"Yeah, but sometimes I cry."

"So do I."

"I may not be as strong but I'm getting wiser."

"Yeah, I need sunlight and fertilizer c'mon, let's plant something new and watch it fly!"

"Straight up to the sky, let's go!"

"The stars don't shine, they burn."

"The constellations glow."

"The seasons change in turn."

"Would you watch our little girl go?"

"She takes after you."

"Hey Mariano, why so blue?"

"I just have so much love inside."

"Y'know, I've got this cousin too."

"Have you met Dolores?"

"Okay, I'll take it from here, goodbye."

"You talk so loud, you take care of your mother and you make her proud, you write your own poetry every night when you go to sleep. And I'm seizing the moment, so would you wake up and notice me?"

"Dolores, I see you."

"And I hear you."

"Yes!"

"Let's get married."

"Slow down."

"Home sweet home, I like the new foundation."

"It isn't perfect."

"Neither are we."

"That's true."

"Just one more thing, before the celebration."

"What?"

"We need a doorknob!"

"We made this one for you."

"We see how bright you burn, we see how brave you've been."

"Now, see yourself in turn."

"You're the real gift, kid, let us in."

"Open your eyes, abre los ojos."

"What do you see?"

"I see me. All of me."

[QUOTES]

"Quitter!"

"I can't do this on my own."

"Let me help, the rats told me everything."

"Don't eat those."

"You're exactly what this family needs."

"You have to stop, Mirabel! The cracks started with you. Bruno left because of you. Luisa's losing her powers, Isabela's out of control because of you. I don't know why you weren't given a gift, but it is not an excuse for you to hurt this family!"

"I will never be good enough for you, will I? No matter how hard I try... no matter how hard any of us try. Luisa will never be strong enough. Isabela won't be perfect enough. Bruno left our family because you only saw the worst in him."

"Bruno didn't care about this family!"

"He loves this family! I love this family. We all love this family. You're the one that doesn't care. You're the one breaking our home!"

"Don't you ever...!"

"The miracle is dying... because of you!"

"Maybe your gift is being in denial?"

"In our darkest moment we were given a miracle."

"Many years ago, this candle blessed our family with a miracle."

"Our house, our casita, came to life with magic!"

"Hola, Casita!"

"Casita, help me out! Drawers, Floors, Doors!"

"Whew- make your family proud!"

"I used to say my real gift is 'acting'!"

"In time, every member of our family was given their own magical gift."

"Uh huh, uh huh. I understand you!"

"The donkeys got out again."

"On it!"

"You’re just as special as anyone else in this family."

"The magic is in danger. We got to get out of here!"

"We must protect our home. We must protect our family.

"I feel like I missed something…"

"Mirabel, the fate of the family is gonna come down to you."

"Sometimes family weirdos get a bad rap."

"Even in our darkest moments, there’s light where you least expect it."

"Whoa- a lot of stairs, but at least I’ll have a friend. No, he flew away immediately."

"This is my chance. I will save the miracle. Wait. How do I save the miracle?"

"I’m losing my gift!"

"JUST TELL US WHAT EVERYONE CAN DO!"

"Annndd… that’s why coffee is for grownups!"

"What’s your gift?"

"Oh, Mirabel didn’t get one."

"Gift or no gift, I’m just as special as the rest of my family."

"I gave you the special since you’re the only Madrigal kid with no gift. I call it the ‘not special’ special. Since, uh, you have no gift."

"Uh, thanks?"

"Last gift ceremony was a bummer- last one being yours."

"Did someone say flowers? Please… don’t clap."

"I can’t."

"I need you!"

"The Magic is strong- and so are the drinks!"

"Open my eyes. If the magic is here, help me save the miracle."

"And Luisa- I heard her eye twitching all night."

"Bruno, your room is the WORST!"

"My gift wasn’t helping the family, but I love my family."
