not a fic writer but I have an idea! so what if there was an au where mirabel did become matriarch at 15 but she’s struggling with it like a lot and refusing to admit it so it’s about the family actually learning that you can’t just dump all the responsibilities of the town on one person (especially a child) and they realize the encanto is better managed by more of a democracy. Basically just mirabel being super stressed and refusing to talk about her issues because “I’m the matriarch I don’t have time to pity myself” but then the family are like actually no you can’t possibly manage that you’re too young and clearly stressed so we’re gonna try understand u better and take all this off your shoulders

Encanto TV Show

So. I had Ideas. I want to know peoples thoughts before I actually start writing. (Ignore the fact that i'm almost 4 years late to the fandom)

Season 1

1 - Pilot: The Family Madrigal (Whole Fam Feat: Mirabel)   Mirabel helps the family adjust to healthier habits in the early days after Casita is rebuilt, gently guiding them into a new chapter of life together. 2 - A Room of Ones Own (Mirabel)   Mirabel feels like the family is avoiding her and gets really upset and lonely, only for the family and Casita to reveal that they made her her own room! 3 - Luisa Lets Go (Luisa)   After accidentally breaking something during a vulnerable moment, Luisa realizes she still ties her worth to being strong and learns what it means to rest. 4 - Camilo Cares To Much (Camilo)   Camilo shapeshifts nonstop to please everyone, but when a young fan copies him a little too well, he starts to unravel. 5 - Of Rats and Men (Bruno and Julieta)   When a strange illness spreads in town, Bruno’s rats are unfairly blamed. He and Julieta team up to solve the mystery, healing a bit of Bruno’s reputation. 6 - Antonios Big Adventure (Antonio)   Antonio discovers a creature that can’t speak to him, forcing him to explore other ways of understanding, and learning that connection takes more than magic. 7 - Game Night (Madrigal 3rd Gen + Mariano)   The Madrigal kids (plus Mariano) have a game night that quickly devolves into chaos, competition, and comedy, before ending in giggles and heartfelt bonding. 8 - Flashback 1 (Madrigal 2nd Gen as Teens)   Teenage Julieta, Pepa, Bruno, Félix, and Agustín navigate early gifts, clumsy romance, and Alma’s rising expectations during the miracle’s first years. 9 - Guys Night (Agustin, Felix, and Bruno)   Félix and Agustín drag Bruno out for a night in town, challenging the village to treat him better while Bruno learns how to loosen up and be seen again.

10 - Power Swap (Whole Fam)

   The family wakes up with their gifts completely shuffled. Cue hilarious chaos, instant regrets, and a whole new respect for each other’s daily struggles. 11 - An Artists Touch (Isabela and Mirabel)   Mirabel and Isabela try to collaborate on a mural, but their wildly different creative styles clash until they find a way to blend beauty and mess into something uniquely theirs. 12 - Pranksters (Mirabel and Camilo Feat: Whole Fam)   Mirabel and Camilo start a petty prank war that escalates into full family participation where everyone picks a side. 13 - Flashback 2 (Madrigal 3rd Gen. Pre Camilo and Mirabels Door ceremonies)   A goofy happy episode about the Madrigal grandkids before Camilo and Mirabel both ahd their gift ceremonies. 14 - Still Abuela (Abuela Alma)   As the village moves forward and relies less on her, Alma questions her place in the family, until Mirabel reminds her she’s still their light, even without the candle. 15 - Bedtime with Bruno (Antonio and Bruno)   Bruno tells Antonio a bedtime story, and one by one the other kids gather to listen. Bruno feels like a part of the family finally. 16 - The Babysitters (Mirabel and Camilo)   Mirabel and Camilo babysit a group of chaotic village kids and clash hard on parenting styles, until they learn that fun and structure can coexist. 17 - La Ratonovela (Rat Telenovela Feat:Bruno and Dolores)   Bruno narrates one of his full-on dramatic rat telenovelas in person for once while Dolores keeps interrupting with ideas and questions. 18 - Hearing Hearts (Mariano +Madrigal 3rd Gen)   Mariano tries to plan a romantic surprise for Dolores, while navigating the absolute nightmare of dating someone who can hear literally everything. 19 - Flashback 3 (Pepa Feat: Newborn Antonio)   The story of Pepa’s pregnancy and the day Antonio was born. Its chaos obviously. 20 - Birthday (Madrigal Triplets)   The triplets celebrate their first birthday together since Bruno returned, unlocking sweet childhood memories, unresolved guilt, and the quiet power of forgiveness.

A new Ladybug?! Not quite, rather she’s an old Ladybug.

For those who don’t know, I once was inspired by @maddascanbe-blog fanfic A Vengeful Butterfly, a Miraculous Ladybug and Encanto crossover to write Mariposas, Mariquitas, and Miracles. It has a villain Mirabel, Encanto Salt, and superpowered Madrigals. Mariquita’s design is inspired by @maddascanbe-blog fanart of the heroine (I will admit to fangirling when I first saw it, it was practically my first fanart for one of my fics).

Meet Mariquita aka Lucille Madrigal, the daughter of Dolores. Spunky, full of spirit, and aspires to be a hero like the rest of her superhero family except she doesn’t have superpowers. But she gets her chance when akumas begin appearing in the town and she is given the Ladybug Miraculous, becoming the heroine of luck, Mariquita!

Perhaps one day, I shall return to Lucille, her catty partner, and superhero Madrigals, but not today.

I had this hilarious idea of Mirabel somehow being able to tell what gift someone was going to get.

like a few days before Camilos gift ceremony she walked up to him. Mirabel: "hey turn into me so we can confuse all the adults!" Camilo: "huh!?" Mirabel: *already ran off*

then a few years later she walked up to Pepa holding a 1 month old Antonio. Mirabel: *talking to Antonio* "you better not get bit by a jaguar" Pepa: "huh?" Mirabel: *walks off*

even funnier is if it gets stronger after the miracle returns. like two years after the events of the movie she walks up to Dolores. Mirabel: "hey good luck with your child" Dolores: "what? I don't have kids" Mirabel: *walks off with all the context*

2 weeks later Dolores finds out shes pregnant. then she goes to Mirabel to ask how the heck she knew. Dolores: "how did you know?" Mirabel: "know what?" Dolores: "2 weeks ago you told me good luck with my child" Mirabel: "oh yeah that! my point still stands" Dolores: "I didn't know I was pregnant until half an hour ago" Dolores: "how did you know?" Mirabel: *shrugs* "I just had this strong feeling there was going to be a new madrigal. and it was only a simple process of elimination on who was going to become a parent" Bruno: *runs in* "we need to close up the roof!" Dolores: "what why?" Bruno: *holding up a vision tablet* "I just had a vision of a kid falling up through the roof!" Dolores: "how old are they?" Mirabel: "it won't happen for a while. we can wait for a year or two" Bruno: "they look to be about 5 years old. are you pregnant?" Dolores: "actually yeah. Mirabel told me good luck with my child two weeks ago and I was just asking her how she knew since I only found out half an hour ago" Mirabel: "again. my point still stands"

In your next gen Encanto au, who gets along with who the best and why?

(Between the cousins, their parents and grandparents or whatever you'd like to do).

Decided to format it where I say their friend group, their "favorite" kid/grandkid/sibling/cousin.

Of course, by "favorite" I mean "person they get along with best/ spend the most time with" but that's long and complicated to say.

No one actually has "favorites" is what I'm trying to say (except for a few of them lol)

Alma: She hangs out with the other elders of the village, including Señora Guzmán. Once Raimi and his side of the family get introduced into the Encanto, she also spends a lot of time with them. Out of her kids, Bruno is the favorite, no question. She spends a lot of time making amends with him. Similarly, her favorite grandkid is now Mirabel. Great-grandkid wise, I'd say her favorite is either Zoe or Mariana.

Julieta: She has a handful of friends in the village, but she seems like the type of person to focus on having a small circle of close friends, rather than a lot. She's close with Augustín's mother, but not so much his father (they have a terse relationship). She claims not to have a favorite child, but like...it's Mirabel, come on. She also claims to not have a favorite grandchild, but she and Fuega bond over cooking.

Pepa: Pepa has a lot of friends from the village, including Félix's brother, Gabriel. Her favorite child is Camilo (he's a mama's boy) and she's...less subtle about it than Julieta is. Her favorite grandchild is easily her "twin" Leta, the first grandbaby, no matter how many heart attacks she gives her.

Bruno: Bruno slowly but surely acquires a small friend group upon his return (mainly with Pepa and Julieta's help). It's only about four or five people (which includes both Amelia and Sofía's crushes' parents), which is just fine by him. He also claims not to have a favorite child, but he empathizes with Sofía a lot.

Augustín: He's kind of a nerd, and so doesn't have many friends outside of the Madrigals. He mainly spends time with Julieta and her friend group. He doesn't have a favorite child, he loves his girls equally, but his favorite grandchild is probably Lidia. He likes her sass, okay?

Félix: He's very popular among the townsfolk, and has more friends than even Pepa. His favorite child is Dolores, but the only two people who know are Pepa and Mariano (because he threatened Mariano with death if he ever hurt his baby girl). His favorite grandchild is José. They have the same personality.

Isabela: She has many friends around the village, including Maria (Fuega's mom) and Lili. Most of them were made either after she dropped her "Señorita Perfecta" persona, or from before she felt pressured to be perfect. Her favorite parent is actually Augustín, and her favorite sibling is probably Mirabel, let's be real. Her favorite cousin is Dolores (I would DIE for their friendship). She actually doesn't have a favorite of her girls, not even a secret one.

Dolores: Poor Dolores doesn't have many friends. It's hard for her to be social with her gift, and she's gained a reputation for being a snitch. She is close with Mariano's sisters and brothers, though. Her favorite parent is Félix, and her favorite sibling is Antonio (Camilo's not offended, as Antonio is also his favorite sibling). Her favorite cousin is Isa. Her favorite kid is Andrés, and she is not subtle about it.

Luisa: She never really had a lot of time for friends pre-Encanto movie, so all of her friends were made post-Encanto. She's kind of socially awkward, like her dad, so she doesn't have a lot of them. Her favorite parent is Augustín (I loved their few interactions in canon) but she refuses to have a favorite sibling. Her favorite cousin is Antonio though. Her favorite child is Zoe, just because she gives her less heart attacks than the twins.

Camilo: He had tons of friends pre-Encanto, but lost quite a few of them when he started using his gift less. He made some more (including his future husband) when the city joined the village, though. His favorite parent is Pepa (Mama's boy Camilo is sacred to me). His favorite sibling is Antonio, and his favorite cousin is Mirabel. Everyone thinks that Camilo's favorite kid would be José or Héctor, but it's actually Hugo.

Mirabel: She has a little friend group, mainly consisting of the older siblings of the Encanto's children and Mariano's family. Her favorite parent is Julieta, favorite sibling is Isabela (now, anyway) and her favorite cousin is obviously Antonio (cue offended Camilo noises). She tries not to have favorites, but she can't help but sympathize with Óscar.

Antonio: He's friends with Little Alejandra, Juancho, Cecilia, and some of the other kids in town. His favorite parent is Félix, but he doesn't have favorite siblings. His favorite cousin is Mirabel.

For the next gen, I already put who they like best from each generation in their profiles, so I just copied those from them. (because I got lazy)

Miranda: She is very popular with the Encanto's kids, as she likes to babysit them. Her favorite parent is Alejandra, just because she knows how much she's sacrificed for her. She doesn't have a favorite sibling, she loves Amelia and Sofia equally. Her favorite cousin is Antonio, over their shared love of animals, and her favorite second cousin is Héctor, because he always sticks to her while they do their chores.

Amelia: She has many, many friends in the village, including her girlfriend, Rosana. She doesn't have a favorite parent, but Miranda is her favorite sister. Her favorite cousin is Camilo, due to their shared love of performing, and her favorite second cousin is Princesa, because they both are more girly.

Sofía: She doesn't have many friends due to her gift, but she hangs out with her crush, Tristán, and his little friend group. Her favorite parent is Bruno, since they're so similar, and her favorite sister is Miranda, since she doesn't think Amelia likes her very much. Her favorite cousin is Dolores, as they like to be quiet together. Her favorite second cousin is Óscar, as they like to bitch to each other all the time.

Princesa: She is very popular in the Encanto, mainly due to her gift, which makes a lot of her 'friends' flaky, at best. Her favorite sister is Mariana, due to her being afraid of Fuega. Her favorite of the grandkid generation is Mirabel, over their shared love of sewing and embrodery, and her favorite cousin is Beatriz, because they like to gossip to each other.

Fuega: She doesn't have many friends, mainly due to her gift. She does hang out with Felicidad and her friends, though. Her favorite sister is Mariana, due to Princesa being afraid of her. Her favorite pf the grandkid generation is Luisa, because she's tough and Fuega isn't afraid to burn her, and her favorite cousin is Andrés, because he helped her and Felicidad get together.

Mariana: She is popular in the Encanto, mainly with the younger kids. She doesn't have a favorite sister, she loves them both equally. Her favorite of the grandkid generation is Mirabel, because they are VERY much alike, and her favorite cousin is Rómulo, because they like to do crazy stunts with their powers together.

Andrés: He has almost zero friends, due to his shyness. His favorite sibling(s) is the twins, just because they're so cute. His favorite of the grandkid generation is Antonio, due to their shared quietness, and his favorite cousin is Fuega, mainly because they just match well. Firey anger and quiet shyness.

Carlos: As the resident black market dealer, he is very, very, very popular in the Encanto, especially with the younger kids. His favorite sibling is easily Leta, though the twins are a close second. His favorite of the grandkid generation is Camilo, because. Obviously, and his favorite cousin is José, because they're like two peas in a pod, despite the age difference.

Avila: She is mildly popular in the Encanto, despite her odd gift. Her favorite sibling is Carlos, because he gives her free stuff. Her favorite of the grandkid generation is Antonio, because ANIMALS, and her favorite cousin is Héctor, because they like to play futbol together.

Amada: She is pretty popular in the Encanto, along with her twin. Her favorite sibling is Carlos, because he gives her free stuff. Her favorite of the grandkid generation is Isabela, because FLOWERS, and her favorite cousin is Tomás, because they like to watch each other do tricks with their powers.

Tomás: He is pretty popular in the Encanto, along with his twin. His favorite sibling is Zoe, because he and Rómulo are both in agreement that she is their favorite. His favorite of the grandkid generation is Isabela, since he likes all her weird plants, and his favorite cousin is José, because they both like playing mind games (of a different kind, but still)

Rómulo: He is pretty popular in the Encanto, along with his twin. His favorite sibling is Zoe, because he and Tomás are both in agreement that she is their favorite. His favorite of the grandkid generation is Antonio, since he lets Parce and the other big cats race him, and his favorite cousin is Mariana, because they like to do crazy stunts with their powers together.

Zoe: She doesn't have many friends, mainly due to her gift. She doesn't have a favorite between her brothers. Her favorite of the grandkid generation is Isabela, because she loves her bright dresses and plants, and her favorite cousin is Hugo, because of all his buggy friends.

Hugo: He doesn't have many friends, mainly due to autism. He doesn't have a favorite between his brothers (it's Héctor). His favorite of the grandkid generation is Dolores, because they're both quiet, and his favorite cousin is Zoe, because she is adorable.

José: He is unpopular with adults, but popular with the kids. He doesn't actually have a favorite of his brothers. His favorite of the grandkid generation is Isabela, because she kinda sorta encourages his gambling, and his favorite cousin is Carlos, because they're like two peas in a pod, despite the age difference.

Héctor: He is pretty popular in the Encanto, mainly because of his gift. His favorite sibling is Hugo, because he looks up to him. His favorite of the grandkid generation is Antonio, since their gifts are similar, and his favorite cousin is Miranda, because she acts so kind and motherly to him.

Finally gotten around to posting chapter one of my multi-generational Encanto fic, Generations of Magic! This first chapter has been so much fun to write and I would really appreciate it if you guys would take a look at it and let me know what you think! I posted chapter one over on AO3 already, but as usual I’ll post it under the cut here too! 🤍

[Synopsis: A decade following the return of the magic, the family continues to thrive. Following the recent loss of Alma, Julieta steps into her new role as matriarch with quiet determination. The grandchildren have grown, bringing their own families and challenges into the fold. Mirabel, now a wife and mother, strives to balance the demands of her own family while still doing her best to hold the Madrigals together. As a new generation slowly emerges, old wounds continue to heal, and magic grows, the Madrigals learn that the true magic lies in the love they share across the generations.]

Read under the cut here!

Ten minutes.

Ten minutes, he said, Mirabel thought to herself as she donned her nightgown.

She probably should have known better than to take Miguel at his word – ‘ten minutes’ never meant ‘ten minutes’ when he was in the middle of a sketch – but she’d given him the benefit of the doubt and gone to put Solana, their little girl, to bed in the nursery, fully expecting to find him waiting for her in their bedroom when she got there. He wasn’t, of course. She had decided to give him until she had gotten ready for bed to make an appearance, but there was still no sign of him and it was clear to her she was going to have to go down to his study and get him. He would spend all night in there if she let him and that just wouldn’t do given there was no doubt in her mind that their girl would be up with the sun in the morning, diving on them and begging them to let her go downstairs and open her presents.

Raking a hand through her wild curls, she turned and made her way out of the bedroom before venturing down the hall to Miguel’s study. The door was ajar, so she pushed it open and entered the room to see him still hunched over his desk, pencil in hand. “Ten minutes, huh?” She made her presence known to him, prompting him to glance over his shoulder at her, and she failed to keep from chuckling when he gave her a sheepish little smile before turning away from her once again. She ventured across the dimly-lit room to him then, putting an arm around him from behind, and when she saw what he had been working on for most of the evening she felt the love she had for him deepen tenfold. He’d made their daughter a storybook for her birthday. A storybook with her as the main focus. He’d been working on it for weeks, carefully planning each little detail of her adventure, and now it seemed as though he was finally on the last page. “Oh, amor, she’s gonna love it.”

“I just can’t get this last page the way I want.” He grumbled while erasing another faint line.

“It doesn’t need to be perfect,” She reminded him. “She’s not going to mind.”

He sighed deeply, leaning back in her embrace. “I know, but I do. Give me ten more minutes?”

“Tell you what,” She stroked his hair away from his face when he tilted his head back to look at her. “I want to go down and make sure mi mamá is getting on alright before we head to bed, so you have until I come back upstairs to get this finished. If you’re still sitting in here when I get back, I’ll drag you to bed myself, got it?”

The corner of his mouth curled into a small smirk. “Is that a threat or a promise?”

“Mmm, yeah, nice try.” She hummed, leaning in to kiss him softly.

“I love you. You know that?” He asked when she pulled back.

“Of course,” She told him. “I love you too. Now get back to work.”

Taking her arm from around him, she left him to get on with his sketch and made her way back out of the room before closing the door behind her to make sure he had no distractions. She then headed for the staircase and slid down the railing, padding through the courtyard to the kitchen so that she could go and look in on her mother. It was clear the moment she walked into the room that something was bothering her. She had gone completely overboard with the food for tomorrow – there were plates upon plates of all kinds of treats laid out over the table and the kitchen counters – and she only really did that when there was something on her mind. She had every intention of talking to her about it, but then she heard the sound of shuffling bare feet and noticed the little dark curls poking out from behind her skirts. Putting a hand on her hip, she cleared her throat and Solana slowly moved out from behind her abuela. “And what are you doing down here?” She asked.

“I just wanted some milk, Mamá.” Her little girl told her, playing with her hands.

“Uh-huh,” She nodded. “So it had nothing to do with you wanting to sneak a look at your cake for tomorrow?”

Solana glanced at her abuela. “I wanted to see if Abuela started it yet.”

“Mi vida, I already told you that I won’t be icing it until the morning.” Julieta reminded her.

“I know, but I thought you might have changed your mind.” Solana shrugged.

Sharing a look with her mother, Mirabel approached her little girl and scooped her up into her arms. “Do you remember why tomorrow is such a special birthday?”

“I get my gift?” Solana raised an eyebrow at her.

“Mhm,” Mirabel hummed. “Tomorrow is gonna be a very long day. You get all your presents in the morning and then you have your gift ceremony in the evening and your Papá and I don’t want you being too tired to enjoy it. You get a little grumpy when you’re tired and you don’t want to be grumpy at your own party, do you?”

Solana shook her head.

“Then you need to try to get a little sleep.” Mirabel told her, placing a kiss on her forehead.

Moments later, the sound of hurried footsteps and excitable giggles filled the air and Mirabel turned just in time to see Ali, Luca, and Mateo come running into the kitchen with Luci, Lázaro, Elías, and Florencio behind them. “Soso! Papí said we can have a special birthday slumber party in the nursery tonight!” Ali beamed, out of breath.

“Mamá and Tía Isa said we could come too!” Luci added, her little brothers and cousin nodding in confirmation.

Julieta’s chuckling prompted Mirabel to look her way. “So much for her getting some sleep tonight.”

“Yeah…” Bruno rubbed the back of his neck as he entered the room, Mirabel turning to him with a slight smirk. “In hindsight, I probably should have run it by you.”

“Probably,” She teased. “Did you speak to Isa? You know she’ll kill you if you keep Enzo up.”

“Yeah. She and Emil are having him in with them tonight.” He told her.

She rolled her eyes. “So you ran it past her but it didn’t occur to you to run it past me?”

“In my defence, I had three big distractions” He gestured to his chilren.

She thought for a moment before letting out a dramatic, over-exaggerated sigh as she looked at her daughter. “Well, I suppose it is your birthday eve after all…”

Solana’s face lit up. “We can have a slumber party?”

“You can have a slumber party,” Mirabel replied while setting her back on her feet. “But I still want you to get some sleep tonight.”

“I will.” Solana told her.

“Come on, Soso!” Luca grabbed her by the hand and began all but dragging her out of the kitchen, the rest of the children following quickly behind them.

Leaning back against the kitchen table, Mirabel looked at her uncle. “If she’s in a bad mood in the morning because she hasn’t slept, just know I’m blaming you.”

Bruno shrugged. “I’m used to it. Night.”

He left the kitchen then to follow the children upstairs to the nursery and once she was alone with her mother, Mirabel looked over at her once more with a soft sigh. “Mamá? Are you okay?” She asked her after standing there in silence for several long seconds, her mother looking over her shoulder at her as she washed up a bowl.

“What makes you ask that?” Julieta asked.

“Uh…” She looked around at the numerous plates of treats. “You may have gone a little overboard with the treats for tomorrow.”

“You know how busy Casita gets during a ceremony. We’ll get through them.” Julieta reminded her.

She knew there was something her mamá wasn’t saying and so she moved away from the table, taking three small steps towards her before turning and leaning back against the counter. “It’s about Solana’s ceremony tomorrow night, isn’t it? It being the first one without Abuela? You don’t have to pretend, Mamá, not with me.”

Julieta was silent for a moment, but then she reached for the towel on the counter and used it to dry her hands while turning to face her daughter. “I don’t want to let her down,” She shrugged. “I don’t even really know what I’m doing. She made it look so easy, she always handled ceremonies so well, but I…I worry I’ll mess it up.”

“Why? You know what you have to say and what you have to do. You watched her do it with all us kids while we were growing up.” Mirabel reminded her.

“I know. It doesn’t make sense,” Julieta chuckled under her breath. “Your pá thinks it has more to do with me still having a hard time with her being gone.”

Mirabel nodded. “I mean, it’s understandable. It’s only been six months, Mamá, it hasn’t been that long. And you spent the most time with her before she…”

“She didn’t prepare me for any of this,” Julieta said quietly. “She thought she had more time. So did I. But now I’m here and I’m just trying to make her proud.”

Hearing the slight waver in her voice, Mirabel wrapped her arms around her on instinct, pulling her into a hug. “You’re doing amazing.”

“You think so, mi amor?” Julieta asked into her hair.

“Yeah, I do,” Mirabel smiled. “I don’t know how you do it. There are twenty-five – nearly twenty-six – people in this house and somehow you manage to keep it all going while running your stall every day at the same time. Abuela would be super proud of you, I know she would. She’d be as proud of you as all the rest of us are.”

Julieta blinked back the tears gathering in the corners of her eyes. “That means a lot to me. Gracias.”

“You’ll do great at the ceremony tomorrow night too,” Mirabel assured her, lifting her head from her shoulder to look at her. “You have nothing to worry about.”

“You are wonderful, you know that?” Julieta reached up to stroke a curl back behind her daughter’s ear.

Mirabel shrugged. “I learned from the best.”

“You should go and get some sleep,” Julieta told her, running a hand down her arm. “Soso is going to have us all up before sunrise no doubt.”

Mirabel couldn’t help but laugh. “Believe me, I know. You should get to bed too. Much longer and Pá will come looking for you, you know he will.”

“I’ll finish these last few dishes and then I’ll go up,” Julieta told her. “You don’t have to worry about me, mi vida, I’ll be fine.”

“You’re sure?” Mirabel raised an eyebrow.

“I’m sure.”

“Good. Well, goodnight, Mamá.”

“Goodnight.”

She turned and made her way out of the kitchen then, brushing her hair from her face with a sigh as she walked back into the courtyard. She knew her mother would do fine tomorrow night. She would be nervous all day, no doubt, that was to be expected, but when the time came for the ceremony she would handle it perfectly. With all the care and the passion that her abuela had in all those years prior. She was going to make her so proud of her, there was no doubt in her mind about that.

She just needed to have more faith in herself.

The same faith that everyone else did.

—————

She had been making her way back to her bedroom, exhausted and more than ready to just fall into bed, when she heard the sound of laughter and squeals coming from the nursery and now she found herself walking down the hall again. Stopping outside the room, she took a breath before turning the doorknob and opening the door only to be greeted with sheer chaos. Her tío was nowhere to be seen, the children having been upped and left in the care of Camilo and Valeria in the time she had been in the kitchen with her mother, and now the lot of them were engrossed in a serious pillow fight. Not exactly the early night she had envisioned for her girl. Camilo was the first to notice her standing there and he stopped, mid-swing, shooting her that silly grin of his as the others quietened. “Hiya, cuz.” He greeted her.

“Uh…” She looked around the room. “Where’s Tío Bruno?”

Valeria chuckled behind her pillow. “He and Isela said something about a…uh…early night for once. Asked us to take charge.”

She made a face. She was happy for her tío, of course, but his love life was something she had zero interest in hearing about. “And this is taking charge?”

“You can’t have a slumber party without a pillow fight!” Camilo said, swinging his pillow at Solana, making her giggle as she fell back onto the bed. “Wanna join us?”

“Yeah, no, I’m going to bed.” She replied, lifting her glasses from her nose and running a hand wearily over her face before replacing them again.

He pouted. “You used to be so much more fun.”

“Mamá is boring.” Solana giggled.

Mirabel feigned hurt. “I am not boring, thank you very much. I just know a certain little mariposa is going to come diving on me in a few hours and I need my sleep.”

“Because she’s old.” Camilo whispered to the nearly five-year-old, only making her giggle more.

Taking the pillow from Lucinda, Mirabel launched it hard at her sobrino. “We’re the same age! Actually, you’re a month older than me!”

“She has a point, mi amor.” Valeria laughed.

“Who’s side are you on?” Camilo asked, whacking her with his pillow.

Shaking her head at the nonsense, Mirabel couldn’t help but laugh. “Just make sure Soso goes to sleep before midnight, por favor.”

“Will do,” He assured her. “Now, if you don’t mind, we were kinda in the middle of something here.”

She muttered a quiet goodnight before heading back out of the room and closing the door behind her, the laughter starting up once again moments later. She was a little worried that it would be long past midnight by the time the lot of them eventually crashed and fell asleep, but she didn’t really mind. Not as much as she had tried to make out. It was a special occasion and she didn’t mind her little girl having a rare late night, a bit of fun, especially when she had one of the most important days of her life ahead of her. She was going to make her so proud. Miguel too, she was certain, but they would make it clear to her that her gift wasn’t everything.

There would be no pressure.

There would be no expectations.

They would love her unconditionally.

Yawning into the back of a hand, she padded back down the hall to the bedroom she shared with her husband and finally made her way back inside, glad to see him tucked up in bed with a book rather than still at his desk in his study. “And she complains at me for coming to bed too late,” Miguel teased, saving his place in the book with his thumb and setting it down in his lap while she approached the bed. “I completed that last page and I’ve finished two chapters while you’ve been gone.”

She rolled her eyes at him as she pulled back the covers and climbed into bed, removing her glasses and folding them neatly before putting them on her nightstand. He closed his book and set it down on his own nightstand then, Casita dimming the lights as he opened his arms to her and let her settle into his side. They were silent for a time then, his fingers running along her arm through her nightgown as she listened to the steady thump of his heart beneath her ear, but then she tilted her head back on his chest to look at him. “I keep thinking…” She said. “What if it happens again? What if I’ve…rubbed off on her? What if she doesn’t get a gift?”

“Where’s that come from?” He frowned.

“It’s something I’ve always worried about,” She confessed. “I can ignore it normally, but these past few weeks – thinking about the ceremony – it’s been impossible.”

He thought for a moment. “It’s possible, I suppose. I don’t know how the miracle works in situations like this.”

“Me neither,” She admitted quietly. “It’s not her not getting a gift that worries me. Not entirely. It’s the thought of her going up there in front of the whole town and it happening.”

“I know,” He kissed her forehead, sighing against her skin. “But you’re worrying about something that hasn’t happened and might not.

“I know. I just know how it feels, that’s all.”

“Then you’ll be the perfect person to deal with it if it does happen. But I don’t want you spending the whole day worrying tomorrow. I want you to enjoy yourself.”

Curling a hand into the front of his nightshirt, she snuggled closer to him. “I will. I can’t believe she’s five already.”

“Me neither,” He shook his head. “Getting old, you and me.”

“Why does everyone keep saying that?” She laughed.

“Who—”

“Cami.”

“Ah.”

The two of them chuckled, settling further down beneath the quilt.

“I promise,” He mumbled into her hair after they had lain together in silence for a time. “No matter the outcome tomorrow night, nothing will change. Not where I’m concerned anyway. I know what it is to love someone without a gift and it’s the easiest thing ever. It’ll be just as easy for me to love her as it is for me to love you.”

She gave him a watery smile. “Mamá was right. You really are perfect.”

He smiled as his hold of her tightened. “I love you.”

“I love you too.” She assured him, accepting the kiss he gave her before Casita turned the lights down the rest of the way.

They settled properly then, his hand rubbing a warm path up and down her back through her nightgown as she tucked her head into the side of his neck with a sigh. That worry still niggled in the back of her mind. The thought of their girl reaching her door only for it to vanish right in front of her as it had for her all those years ago. She couldn’t change it though. She just had to believe that the candle knew what it was doing now just as it had back then. That her little girl would be fine in the end.

She just had to trust it.

@senoritatorres asked: Hi there. I love your Yandere Twisted Wonderland scenarios and I’d love to see your take on my scenario. I’m currently working on a Twisted Wonderland + Encanto crossover and i was wondering how the Yandere Twisted Wonderland characters would act with a Mirabel Madrigal reader.

Mirabel Madrigal Reader | Yandere Twisted Wonderland

Because Mirabel as a character is very close to your usual role as the magicless prefect who has to play therapist for every one in the school; there’s not much of significant difference from the usual concept of the reader. Similar to their reactions everyone is entranced by your goodwill and general optimism. Of course the desire to isolate you and never return you to a family who doesn’t seem to appreciate you reigns strong. But somehow you’re able to dance and sing around those with more volatile capabilities just long enough to keep everyone in a good mood.

Isabela Madrigal HC:

In the time between Casita's downfall and reconstruction, Isabela obviously got a few new marks while helping on Casita. They could range from small blisters and scratches along her arms and hands, all the way to scars, splinters, and torn fabric along her dress.

While she would have fretted over them in the past, Isabela now embraces these little imperfections. Once the magic returned, she kindly refused her mother's healing food and Mirabel's/her father's offers to repair her dress and wounds, showing her love for being perfectly imperfect.

(Happy Birthday/Feliz Cumpleaños, Isa!)

DESCENDANTS 5 ANNOUNCED

In addition to Cantrall and Baker, Leonardo Nam returns as Mad Hatter’s son, Maddox Hatter in the new film, set primarily in present-day Wonderland. New descendants to the Disney Branded Television franchise include actor-singer Liamani Segura (High School Musical: The Musical: The Series) as Red’s sister Pink; Brendon Tremblay (Altar) as Mad Hatter’s other son, Max Hatter; Alexandro Byrd (The Legend of Juan Jose Mundo) as Luisa Madrigal’s son Luis Madrigal; and Kiara Romero (The J Team, Drowning) as Captain Cook’s daughter Hazel Hook.

They(the D5 account) posted photos of the new cast on their twitter

I’m so done.

...I keep saying this but I need a source, anon, because the user your referring to each time isn't listing one for any of their claims. Seriously, sources are vital here, as once more, I will be reacting in a 'allegedidly' manner because I have to take these claims as that until sources emerge confirming them. Anyway....onto the reaction....:

If any of these characters are true and real in Descendants 5, Pink alongside Red can take the worst fucking names Descendants has had the heroes/villains call their kids because at this point is Queen of Hearts naming her kids after random colors??? Or on the hair colors???? Outdoing Ruby Sunday's bio mom in Doctor Who in worst ways to name kids. And that's me ignoring why the fuck is Pink only now coming into existence, unless she's a result of the new timeline which...apparently when good Queen of Hearts now has more then one kid I guess??? Max Hatter is somehow the only one I'm meh on here in these claims because we didn't get any references to Maddox's home life so like...his name is just unoriginal as always in Descendants. Luis Madrigal...ngl if this is true, did not expect Descendants to go for Luisa whenever they did throw Encanto into this franchise, but given its said to be a sports plot, I guess it makes sense for Luisa's kid to be involved, given Luisa's magic gift...but here's the issues: the fucking name...its not as bad as Pink, Luis is an actual name...but that's beyond lazy still as its just removing the 'a' from Luisa's name and calling it a day, it is not hard to google Spanish names. And um, going back on it making sense Luisa's kid would join Auradon Cup Games...that's not how the gifts work, going on the idea they gonna make him strong magic gift like his mom. You do not get your parents gift in Encanto, you get your own when you come off age and the candle/Casita gives you your gift/room based on it. Otherwise, the gifts would be beyond different for Mirabel and her sisters and cousins if they just got their moms gifts when born. But given this is Descendants...not surprising they may get how ANYTHING works in Encanto wrong if they really are shoving Encanto into Auradon now. And finally, Hazel Hook...well if you ever got told making sibling OCs is bad and lazy in the past, please know offical movies are pulling that as Harry didn't even mention his book/Wicked World sisters in the films, aka Harriet and CJ, let alone a new sister named Hazel who would be logically in the same film canon verse as him! Harry said fuck my younger sister I guess if she is a real character in Descendants 5, he pretend she doesn't exist apparently! Can't wait to see all of these guys though if they are real, not get any fucking development or anything to do in Rise of Red sequel, given Descendants prior attempts at big casts going badly with their inability to not focus on Mal/Red.

Agustín Madrigal is Fearless, Fair, Brave and True

💙🎶No more sending whispers to the water (Oh, oh)

‘Cause you’re everything you were wishing and waiting for (Oh, oh)

🦋🐝🕯️🐝🦋

Someone fearless (Oh, oh)

Someone fair (Oh)

Someone brave (Oh, oh)

Someone true (Oh)🎶💙

I thought I could do something magical that was a inspiration from artworkbylouie in instagram when she post art of the live action Snow White where I heard of the song ‘Snow White Returns’. I wish they would have made it a bit longer version of it. I picked Agustín because ‘Waiting On the Wish’ seemed to made him (in my theory or headcanon) a true prince/king that his father Matre was supposed to take the throne after Cosmos’ death, he wished that he was more than an accident prone or being married to a Madrigal.

He was thinking of Mirabel, not the family as Alma wants him to despite she didn’t like him at all. He would do everything to protect his daughters just like Matre did for him when he was younger before they came to Encanto. I think he would be more of a king that he would show what any Disney Princess would do (and I know everyone think that Stolas is like a Disney Princess as I remember correctly)

[teawizard]

K, but I want to know about all the WIPs you mentioned! But I shall settle for asking about Incomplete Madrigal and Kindergarten Casita - the last one sounds absolutely adorable.

Awwww thank you!!!

I had to actually stop myself from posting everything I have on these two wips lol I've got to chill, I don't want to post their most exciting parts and then not have enough motivation to finish them!

Okay okay okay look, let's start with

Kindergarten Casita

Somewhere in the city N there is a "magical" kindergarten Casita - according to rumors, its pupils joyfully run here in the morning, and the walls of the old building sing. Its new head, Señorita Daniela, is trying her best to justify the faint hopes of her deceased mother, the previous head of Casita, Señora Maria. The new kindergarten teacher, Señor Bruno, is trying to help her with this.

Honestly, with this title I could've imagined a couple of more obvious AUs 1. Where all the kids are of the same (or close) age, and Casita itself is like a kindergarten; 2. Where Alma is the head of a kindergarten and the triplets are teachers.

That sounds hella cute and I haven't yet encountered similar AUs but! I wasn't able to come up with plots for these AUs so that's not what Kindergarten Casita's about.

That's a really specific AU catering to me only and my love for soppy melodramas I watch with my grandma. It doesn't happen in the Encanto setting but actually somewhere else, closer to where I live and sometime more modern, circa 2000.

All the original characters are present in the story though not all of them are relatives. I actually like what I've come up with for each of them - both design-wise and personality-wise. Though, I'm writing it in my native language so it'll be a bit challenging to finish I guess

And it's a romantic comedy, of course, at least I try to make it funny and romantic lol

And here's a couple of paragraphs I really like:

Returning to her office, Daniela found a short man in front of the door, pacing back and forth with his head down and muttering to himself. His long hair hung down covering his face. Under a long green autumn jacket, he was wearing an almost ironed gray shirt that had most likely once been white, and long brown trousers, one of the legs of which almost reached the floor. He had a bulky brown messenger bag slung over his shoulder. Having rolled up the sleeves of his jacket, he nervously fiddled with the sleeve of his shirt, buttoning and then unbuttoning the cuff. Since Daniela knew all the parents of her pupils, she could say with certainty that pacing in front of her was none other than the new candidate for the vacant position of the kindergarten teacher, whom she had made an appointment with yesterday, Señor Bruno Madrigal. His appearance perfectly matched his agitated tone of voice that she had heard on the phone recently.

Incomplete Madrigal

(honestly, I fully expected this name to be already taken but I was pleasantly surprised. I'm keeping it and never letting go)

Mirabel is determined to bring Bruno and his wife back into family after seeing an almost disastrous way their guilt affects Casita on Antonio's birthday. Surely, if they get accepted back Casita won't suffer anymore. Right?

So yeah, it's an AU where Bruno has a wife but he doesn't stay in Casita and instead moves out.

This wip makes me suffer immensely - I want to make it fun and goofy but all that comes out of it seems like a weak parody of the original movie. I think I will have to try to go in a different direction, but I will not give up ☝️☝️☝️

And here's a couple of paragraphs I like:

You would think that the family of the Encanto matriarch’s only son would live right beside Casita. Maybe, it would even take a less than a minute walk to get to them. Because, you know, they are family. They need to be near to be able to help each other when in need, to visit each other and spend time at one another’s house. It would make sense to live close, right? Apparently, no. Mirabel fought every fiber of her being not to curse as she sprinted through the town’s labyrinth trying to find Bruno’s house. The villagers either didn’t want to give her any directions or their directions were misleading and she would eventually find herself in front of a wrong house. She regretted not asking Bruno or Daniela for directions yesterday before they fled Casita embarrassing her in front of everyone. They at least owed her that.

Thank you again for asking me about my wips!!

20 years can change a person

Was playing around with Alma in the Mama Isa AU.

Unfortunately, she does not get as easy an apology as the adults did; and even that took months, and at this point, Isabela is STILL recovering

Also at this point, Alma is like on??? The fourth stage of grief I wanna saw. Or a mix between bargaining and depression. She still refuses to apologize, but she's starting to face the music and slowly, very slowly, realize she was wrong.

Anyway, since none of the Madrigals are there, she has no way of getting things. Quite literally after the gifts came in, the Madrigals got atuff for free, and so did Alma. Helping out here and there didn't cut it anymore, and they didn't even go to Alma for help after a while. Don't get it wrong, if the Madrigals did come back, the village would immediately go back to relying on them. This is more of "they were forced to" situation.

Some ideas were??? Old Casita would've eventually broken down. No magic to keep it up, and it cracked and broke. Its a giant house and one elderly woman, with no way to maintain it alone.

She actually lives on the edge of town. She grows to resent the village in a way. But ahe still has skills from before the Encanto. She can make candles and sew. She takes on seanteess jobs, and then later candle making (which get exported out of the encanto).

Years and year pass and Alma has obviously accepted her fate. She stops popping up randomly to try and get the family back. she does still send them things; nothing to convince them, things similar to sorry. Letters, candles, fabrics embroidered and dyed by her hand. It's not known, but Isabela does keep these things. After 20 long years, they finally return to the Encanto.

Alma would have drastically changed. The village sort of views her as a bruja in a way, not for any magic but she just is alone. And a lot of times she's be sitting outside her house. She doesn't visit anyone and someone picks up her stuff and beings her back the profit. She's almost 100 (in her 90s at this point), and she's still kicking it 🌚

Some of the stuff Mirabel makes gets exported out of the village. Including the Encanto. Alma buys her things.

Dunno just some ideas
