Encantober Day 5: Cold

It was a beautiful summer day. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and best of all, Pepa had zero gift-related obligations. After a rainy spring and sunny summer, the crops were growing well without Pepa’s intervention, making this year markedly different from the last when she’d practically drowned the valley after...

Well. After something they didn’t talk about.

But things were better now. Deciding to start one of the books Félix had gotten her for her last birthday (the man spoiled her; she thanked God every day for giving him to her), she walked along the path, book tucked under her arm, until she found a nice shady tree. She sat down next to the tree and opened her book. Julieta had recommended it, having enjoyed it herself, so Pepa was looking forward to seeing what happened. Of course, she plugged her ears when Julieta mentioned anything more detailed than the basic premise. Books were an adventure she preferred to discover by jumping right in. Having someone tell her what happens would defeat the purpose.

She read for a little while, savoring the gentle breeze that fluttered the pages in her hands. This book really was good. But an uneasy feeling had crept into her. Something was…off. She couldn’t quite place it, but it felt almost like when she was hungry; her mood plummeting without explanation.

For a few more minutes, she tried to keep reading, but it proved to be an exercise in futility. The breeze had turned chilly, making it hard to concentrate. Frustrated, she slammed the book shut. She didn’t understand what had sunk her mood. The book was amazing! So many wonderful things were happening, and Pepa just wanted to share them with someone!

And there was no one around.

There was no one around.

Oh. Cold air swirled around her as the realization struck. As much as Pepa enjoyed having a free day like this, and indulging in her favorite pastime, it was way more fun to spend the day goofing off with…with…

A fat freezing droplet skittered across the cover of her book. Another soon followed. Alarmed, Pepa looked up to see a heavy white cloud looming overhead. One drop turned to two turned to a sprinkle of sleeting rain. Pepa tried frantically to shield the book from the precipitation to no avail. Frost crept over the grass around her, turning the vibrant green to a dull white. Desperate, Pepa tossed the book behind the tree, where it would be safe from her emotion-driven downpour.

There were days when Pepa would give anything for a few hours’ peace, away from her chaotic family and the demands life placed on her. But now, as her heart panged, her pain raining down on her, she’d trade everything for someone by her side.

No one specific. Just someone.

She drew her knees up to her chest, shivering, and found herself wishing she’d brought a blanket. The summer weather had, of course, rendered a blanket unnecessary when she headed out. Glancing around herself, she found the blades of grass weighed down with frost. Teeth chattering, she blew on her hands to warm them up, her breath visible in the cold.

This was ridiculous. She needed to find a way to pull herself out of this. Clear skies…clear skies… Think of Félix, who adored her; her two wonderful children who brightened her life; her sobrinas; Julieta…

Like winter followed fall, the hole that inevitably followed Julieta’s name threatened to consume her. Pepa tried so hard to talk herself out of the looming dread that she refused to name. Why should she care? It’s not like he did when he abandoned them. No; he’d been selfish and self-preserving, wanting to spare himself the repercussions of yet another disastrous prophecy. Pepa gritted her teeth, clenching her soaked dress in her fists. The freezing rain kept pouring and there was nothing she could do about it.

Just like there was nothing she could do to bring him back.

“Tía?”

Startled, Pepa registered a blurry outline standing in front of her. Blinking back the tears, the image sharpened. “Mirabel. What are you doing here?”

The girl shrugged. “Everyone else is helping with their gifts, but I don’t have one, so mamá let me go play after I finished helping her.”

Pepa nodded, clearing her throat forcefully to expel the lump of sadness that had lodged there. “I see.”

Mirabel frowned, tilting her head, which knocked her glasses askew. “What’s wrong, tía? Why are you crying?”

Pepa tried for a brave smile, but her lips quivered. “Ah, the book I was reading, it’s so sad.” She waved dismissively, trying to play it off as no big deal. In all honesty, the book wasn’t sad until she’d gotten to the part where the family reunited after a series of trials. “Too sad for such a beautiful day.”

And it really had been such a beautiful day. Outside the haze of her cold front, the sun blazed as brightly as ever. She could smell all the plants blooming, ripening; glorious bursts of life marching on around her as she sat in her own personal winter. Why did she have to ruin everything? Why couldn’t she just enjoy what she had been given? Her mamá was right. She really could make the worst of a good situation.

Mirabel listened attentively; her big eyes trained on Pepa. “I don’t like sad stories either,” she shared, sitting down next to Pepa on the frozen grass.

Pepa’s eyes grew wide with fear. “Mira, I’ll get you all wet!” She protested, scooting away from the girl.

“I don’t mind, tía,” Mirabel said simply.

“Y-you don’t?” Pepa asked, bewildered.

Mirabel shook her head. “It’s only a little rain. The sun will dry us off. Plus you’re sad. You shouldn’t be sad all by yourself.”

“I-I shouldn’t?” Pepa was shocked by her empathy. Somehow, Mirabel knew exactly what she needed.

“Mm-mm.” Mirabel shook her head emphatically. “Being sad is a lot easier when you’re not alone.”

The way she said that made Pepa wonder if she was speaking from experience. Her heart broke to think about how Mirabel acquired such wisdom at such a young age. Awkwardly, Pepa wrapped her arm around her.

As if she’d been waiting for the invitation, Mirabel snuggled into her side with a contented sigh. “I hope you stop being sad soon, tía.”

“I hope so too,” Pepa murmured, playing with Mirabel’s hair absently. Already the grass was thawing and the cold fog lifting. “I love you, Mirabel.”

There was nothing but love in Mirabel’s eyes as she answered. “I love you too, tía.”

The year is 2034, the ice caps are melting but we finally got Encanto 2— forcibly called Encan2 by Disney. They kicked Jared bush off the project due to creative differences (he didn’t do what the Disney overlords asked of him)

Before the film came out Disney tried to purchase the entire country of Colombia. It did not work.

The film takes place five years into the future. Everyone is heterosexual. The plot is a gift swap and the OG songwriters have been replaced with all the song writers for ‘Wish.’ Alma dies at the end. Mirabels only character trait is ‘girlboss.’ Camilo finally gets some attention from the narrative but his only character trait is “I like a girl.” And nothing else happens expect for him liking a girl. Isabela and Dolores have five kids each.

Luisa also dies on screen too because the writers forgot how to write strong female characters so this was the alternative.

At one point Antonio looks into the camera and goes, “erm, he’s right behind me isn’t he?”

There is no god. Encanto 3,4,5 and 6 are announced right after.

Encanto. Luisa and Mirabelle.

The Madrigal family.

Due to the fact that when I was on vacation, my younger cousins watched this cartoon several times a day, I got into it and was inspired by it. And I also fell in love with Luisa and her relationship with Mirabelle (it was just so nice; the eldest is a big, gentle and caring sister and her younger sister, who supported her during a difficult time). Which brings different ideas for this character to my mind. >.< I'll probably make a few more drawings, but I'm not sure that the Incanto theme will be for a long time. :3

Why did I never upload my Encanto fanart I was obsessed w/this movie when it first came out

[theriverdraws]

I know this movie is recent-ish, but the lack of an Encanto series is still crazy to me.

Like, it doesn't even need crazy magical lore, it can be episodic, it's so simple:

Family dynamics not seen in the movie

Why doesn't Mirabel have a gift (theory of her being the next matriarch being the most obvious one)

Seeing the other rooms

Bruno's new interactions with the townspeople and the family

FERAL ISABELA!!!

Dolores and Mariano

Unexplored trauma with Dolores and Camilo, GET THEM THEIR SOLO SONGS!!!!

The dads' sides of the family

Abuela Alma trying to do better

Childhoods of the triplets

On that same note, how the couples met each other.

More on Alma and Pedro. Etc

And if you wanted new stuff, HAVE THEM OPEN THE ENCANTO TO LET MORE PEOPLE IN, new technology that Encanto doesn't have access to, new ideas and cultures - it can even bring drama if the new people try to do bad things and the family goes all x-men on them.

It's so many possibilities that if they never do it it's a damn shame.

THE THIEF AND THE PROPHET  CHAPTER 2: 【 THE DEVIL'S HANGED MAN 】

「 The celebrations have begun! It's a joyous time of laughter, reminiscing, and preparation in the days leading up to the wedding of Dolores and Mariano. Well...for everyone else, at least.

Bruno finds himself a little overwhelmed by all the festivities, feeling a lot of pressure to not make accidentally 'ruining weddings' a tradition of his.

It doesn't help that the strange talisman he won in a dice game is attracting a lot of unwanted attention when it's revealed that the jewel merchant is said to be a 'gold thief' who lures people in with stories and 'fools gold' in exchange for real gold. 

Meanwhile, the mysterious jewel merchant, Chel, returns home, where she mopes in a bath after finding another gray hair. Thankfully, her sister, Inés, is there to boost her spirits, as are the magical charms of her youngest nephew, Vito.  」 ✨| CHAPTER 3:  A flashback to almost 12 years ago right before Mirabel's ceremony and Bruno's disappearance. Chel returns to The Encanto with her family and has a conversation with a mysterious stranger. 

Thank you so much for waiting patiently for this chapter! There's a lot of information leading into the next. Everything has meaning and nothing is a mistake. Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback! HAPPY FRIDAY THE 13th!
