Marcelo Rivera Madrigal Headcanons;

His full name is Marcelo Héctor Bruno Rivera Madrigal. 

He is the son of Mirabel Rojas Madrigal and Miguel Rivera.

He is eleven years old. 

He, like his great uncle Bruno, is the only boy out of a set of triplets. His sisters from the set are named ‘Mariana Isabela Luisa Rivera Madrigal’ and ‘Marisol Carmela Victoria Rivera Madrigal’. 

They also have two younger sisters named ‘Vera Coco Rivera Madrigal’ and ‘Renata Imelda Rivera Madrigal’, who are six and five years old respectively. 

He is often compared to his great, great, great grandfather, Héctor Rivera, and his great uncle, Bruno, both personality wise and appearance wise as well as his abuelo, Agustin. But his Abuela Julieta and his mamá say he looks a lot like his papá, too. 

He's paler than his siblings and parents with a more pinkish-red skin tone. He also has short (curly at the bottom) black hair and loose bangs, much like his parental great-great-great grandfather, Héctor’s. 

He used to have brown eyes like his parents but they changed to a light, glowing, greyish/blueish-greenish after he got his gift. 

He has two moles—one on each cheek, just below his ear and shifted slightly over.

Marcelo has many nicknames ranging from Marcelo, ‘Celo, Marc, Marci, glowbug, owl, glowstick, mi pequeño cocinero, pequeño chef, mi pequeño láser, and mi pequeño Aye-aye. 

The eleven year old has the gift of laser and night vision—which is what causes his eyes to glow. 

Marcelo is a student at the Encanto’s only public school but plans to go to Auradon Prep when he's older, if his parents allow it. 

He's friends with Pin Collodi-Rossi-Liddell,  Dragonet, Bart Hood, Barry Hood, and Eleanor Bluefairy-Carmelo of Llyr. 

Marcelo is closer to his mom than he is his dad but loves them both dearly. He's also rather close to his Abuela Julieta, his Tío Abuelo Bruno, and his Bisabuela Valentina.

Miguel often comments that the boy would  get along great with Héctor if they were to ever meet. 

Marcelo’s hobbies include drawing, Fútbol, baking, cooking, designing cakes/sweets, helping his mom design the clothes she makes, playing music, playing cards/video games/board games, listening to music, bird watching, laser tag, babysitting, acting, and learning about things. 

His favorite book is ‘The Tales of Flynnigan Ryder’. 

His favorite animal is any type of dogs. 

He was diagnosed with cancer when he was five but is now considered cancer free. 

His favorite colors are green, grey, black, and blue.

Marcelo has been described as the following: Painfully shy and quiet, loving, caring, self sacrificing, gentle, playful, fragile but more resilient than people expect him to be, oblivious, bad at keeping secrets because he's honest and it makes him even more anxious to do so, curious, polite, patient, slow to anger, fair, anxious, trusting, clingy, and creative.

He's a mama’s boy. 

Marcelo is very awkward and oftentimes phrases things wrong. Much to his embarrassment.

If he were to become a professional chef/baker, he would name his place of business ‘Madrigal's Miracle Baked Goodies’.

Marcelo has a crazy strong sweet tooth and absolutely adores making them, especially for those he cares about.

He is very good with kids, like his mom, and he's an amazing babysitter when he's older.

To Mirabel's dismay, Juancho and Julieta got him hooked on coffee. Which is something else he's incredibly good at making because he needs to be considering how much of a night owl he is. 

His gift acts up when he's exhausted, ill, and scared. 

He helps whoever's cooking in the kitchen whenever he can and he absolutely adores making food for whoever visits Casita. 

He's interested in romance later on but right now, he doesn't really see the appeal other than the fact it makes people happy.

Marcelo has a long Auratube playlist filled with different types of music he likes due to how much music means to his family.

He is very sentimental and tries to keep most of the things his mother makes him because he adores them so much. 

Like the winged stuffed dog his mother made him that he named ‘Tae’, after his dad's old dog. 

Helps Bruno write his plays and loves acting in them, and in Camilo's shows. He joins the drama club and cooking club when/if he starts attending Auradon Prep. 

He's made everyone in the family something at least once, whether it be shoes or food or a drawing. 

His door shows him standing in front of the moon: staring with wide, open, glowing eyes and lasers surrounding him. His door frame is a greenish-grey color.

The walls in his room are  ‘glow in the dark’ (like in a laser tag arena) and the floor looks like a celebration fluorescent black light carpet that you can find in an arcade. His bed is skull shaped with patchwork sheets, blankets, and pillowcases that Mirabel made him. There's a few bookcases filled with books, a little corner with art supplies, and when he gets older his toy kitchen is swapped out for a real one with sewing supplies. 

The ceiling kind of looks like chocolate chip cookies and that's exactly what his room smells like. 

The walls are decorated with things people have made and given him, as well as a few of the things he's made himself that he's really proud of. 

He also has a little DVD player and a box of DVDs in there. 

There's a trap door that leads to his sisters’ room, due to how close they are. Amelia and Sofia and Javier and Juan all have something similar but the eldest Madrigal Triplets and other twins and triplets in the family notably do not since they aren't as close to one another. 

Marcelo is the closest to Luisa and Ryder out of his mamá’s generation, outside of his parents of course. 

Marcelo is definitely the type of person to keep a ‘keepsake’ box and to make a ‘pick me up’ book. 

His favorite candy is villain stripes but he also likes gummi snakes. 

Julieta chooses to hand down her book of recipes to him because she knows he'd appreciate and cherish it the most out of the rest of the family.

His favorite Auradon show is ‘The Great Auradon Bake Off’. 

His favorite place on the Internet is Auratube.

He desperately wants to try Isle Food because he's making it his mission to try food from every place in Auradon.

His favorite class is English and Art.

His favorite Auradon Event/Holiday is Ancestry Day. 

Carriage Crush is his favorite video game. 

Marcelo, like his abuela, is very mindful of people's dietary restrictions and tries to keep an updated list so no one he loves gets left out. 

He loves his Abuela Julieta’s Lulo juice and Firecracker Festival Beef and Pork links, and they're some of his favorite things to eat. 

The eleven year old would never tell his Abuela this, but he absolutely hates her Yummy Cheesy Yam Soup with a burning passion and always sneaks it to his sisters or cousins’ plates when no one is looking when she makes it. 

His favorite song is one his mamá made called “The Family Madrigal’ and he was absolutely horrified when he realized no one else knew it when at an Auradon event when he was five. He was so mortified he hid behind his mother's skirt the rest of the night.

Marcelo has a teal satchel that his mom gave him that has little glowing eyes shooting lasers embroidered onto it. Attached to one of its pockets is a winged dog in a chef hat keychain that Mariana made him. 

Follows Jordan on Auratube and looks up to Carlos de Vil a bit because they have similar personalities (at least in his mind, from what little he saw/was told about the boy during the first few months he was in Auradon). 

Gets dragged into his siblings and cousins’ shenanigans a lot, but don't be fooled: he will cause shenanigans to occur if he's able. Like trying to summon his relatives from the great beyond (Cornel was not impressed by the sudden increase in ghosts). 

Has a bit of a staring problem. 

Used to have perfect vision, but due to his gift has to wear special glasses—both to  help with the laser vision, but also so he can actually see during the day. He was not happy about it.

Marcelo is afraid of the dark, hospitals, and needles. 

He also had an animal companion named ‘Mono’ from a litter of four golden retriever puppies Luisa found. She has the rest. Which is why she's his favorite aunt ever (Isabela and Soccorro claim she cheated and that Ryder and Antonio helped her do so). 

The go-to-babysitter for him was Luisa when he was little and he couldn't be with his parents, you could just set with him Luisa and he'd be content for hours.

Marcelo was also pretty awestruck when he met Eugene Fitzherbert/Horace/Flynn Rider at an Auradon event. It was like he was meeting Santa Claus. 

Speaking of which, he and his sisters have seen the real Santa Claus after having successfully stayed up long enough for him to show up. Santa/North has no clue they saw him. 

Fell down the stairs one time during the day after getting his gift because of how difficult it can be to see with night vision during that time. 

Marcelo has his Mamá, Abuelo, Tía Luisa, and Abuela's temper—meaning he's very slow to anger but terrifying if you ever actually manage to make him angry since it's a very rare thing to happen and usually justified. 

His second favorite animals are owls. 

He has a few scars on his hands and knees from being clumsy, mostly after he first got his gift. 

Though Marcelo is still very clumsy without it. 

Marcelo also adores being a big brother and cousin, and takes that responsibility very seriously. 

Doesn't like being mean or upsetting people because it makes him feel bad. Is seen as a bit of a pushover because of this. 

People have tried to take advantage of his kindness/unwillingness to upset people on more than one occasion but it rarely ends well for them. Somehow, people always forget Dolores is listening and that his family is large and always has a way of finding out. 

Is one of the few kids in this generation Bruno has willingly had a vision about. Every other one has either been an involuntary vision (mainly about their birth and on a few memorable occasions, even a couple of the gift ceremonies) or an accidental vision (like the one regarding his own kids). 

If Héctor had a favorite great great great grandchild, it would be Marcelo. But of course, Héctor doesn't have favorites (outside or Miguel). 

Doesn't like having his photo taken but will smile and bear it for the people he loves.

Marcelo has an oversized green (flight?) jacket that Dolores' son, Oscar, brought him back from Auradon that he almost refuses to take off because he loves it so much. It was made by Evie. 

He and Oscar are close despite the age gap.

When Marcelo is in a bad emotional place his room goes dark and he can't get out by himself.

Danny: Aunt Alicia, how did you wind up with this job again?

Alicia: Well, the Johnsons really helped me out when my divorce was underway. I was too embarrassed to tell Maddie that the marriage she had been so against had gone under. Meanwhile, I had nowhere to stay and live out of my car. Mark Johnsons saw them towing my car one day while I was bawling like a newborn lamb. He offered to let me stay on his family farm as a farm hand.

Danny: That's was nice of him

Alicia: It's was. He saved my life. I don't think I've ever love a man the way I loved him.

Danny: How come I never met him?

Alicia smiling sadly: Mark had cancer. It was why he couldn't help around the farm. After three years of me living with him and his parents, we lost him to it.

Danny: Oh. I'm sorry for your loss, Auntie.

Alicia: It's alright, sweetheart. Anyway Mr. and Mrs. Johnson kept me around until I saved up a few and moved to my cabin. I come visit them whenever I can but their getting up there in age. Mr. Johnson is having heart surgery clear across the country, so I offefed to watch their farm this summer.

Danny: And I get to be your farmhand

Alicia: That's right. Oh, look, we're here. Welcome to Smallville, Danny.

Danny: Its.....small alright. I'm really starting to miss Tucker and Sam.

Alicia: Don't be like that. I heard the neighbors, The Kents, have a boy about your age. Who knows, maybe this will be a summer romance

Danny: Omg, Aunt Alicia, just because I'm Bi does not mean I'll crush on any-LOOK OUT! COW!

Alicia: *Hits break* SHIT

Clark: *Running over* I'm so sorry! She must have gotten out when I was fixing the gate. Are you two alright?

Alicia: *clutching her heart* Yes....I think we are. Danny? Are you alright?

Danny: *Looking Clark up and down* Oh, I've never been better.

Tim calls a family meeting and everyone is assuming he’s got a big case he needs help with, which is alarming for someone who refuses to admit that some cases are beyond him.

So, everyone shows up at the cave only to be ordered upstairs by Alfred. For those who only showed up to make fun of Tim for needing help, this is confusing because case work ain’t allowed upstairs.

All do them figure out quickly that this means it’s not to do with Gotham or Ref Robin, but the man behind the mask.

Bruce and Dick were there first and because Damian is always with one of them, so is he.

Steph picks up Barbara and Cass, with Duke already at home and Jason showing up at the same time as Kate and Lucius.

When they all get into the lounge room used for when people are over, just two doors down from the actual family room, they all find themselves chatting casually as they stave off their own worries or confusion. Some of them try find out if anyone knows what’s going on, but when Alfred and Barbara reveal they have no idea, they give up and make a few guesses but no more.

When Tim finally comes in after Alfred received him, he looks tired.

It’s not usual for Tim to get distracted with work and not sleep for a while, but he will conk out for hours when he decides to and wake up alright.

The bags under his eyes, the redness within them, and the way he looks close to tucking himself into a ball…

Bruce is immediately leaning forward, opening his mouth to make sure his son is okay but Tim just raised a hand to silence him. “Just… just let me speak, okay? I need to do it now or I’m not going to be able to.”

Everyone gives him a nod or look of understanding, making him twitch a smile before inhaling deeply and psyching himself up.

“I have cancer.”

…

Nobody speaks as Tim exhales shakily.

Everyone is staring wide eyed at the young man before them, who just reached the legal drinking age, and trying to asses his physical form for an understanding of what he just said. They’re all trying to gain X-ray vision to see exactly what is hurting him all while trying to convince themselves they heard him wrong.

Tim closes his eyes and speaks automatically, leaning into facts like he always does when he’s freaking out, “I noticed I was getting by more tired and fatigued around last year. My doctor said I have a low white cell count but he wasn’t alarmed as it was still in the normal range. But a few months ago I started to note that bruises were taking far too long to heal and I was getting a lot of pain around my joints and bones.”

He inhaled again, shakier than before at the same time that Alfred sits himself down with a hand over his mouth.

“It’s stage 2 and because of my lack of a spleen it’s going to be a harder process for treatment but fortunately I own a medical company so there’s that at least.” He makes a sort of joking smile that falters immediately, falling into a pulled back frown that comes with someone whose about to sob as he adds, “But it’s also aggressive so I-I don’t know how-how to-fuck-“

Dick and Cass are immediately moving off the couches they are on and catch him as he finally crumbles into himself.

Bruce is next to follow, the stoic man openly crying for the first time in years.

Jason and Damian are in shock, both frozen in place as dread takes over their minds.

Steph is looking out the window, as if staring at some kind of his or deity and demanding an expiration as to why they have to hurt her loved ones so badly. She’s crying, but it’s silent which is all the more harrowing.

Lucius places a hand on Alfred’s shoulder to comfort the elder even as he himself itches to go comfort the young boy who helped him run the company when he was at his worst.

Kate leaves the room to go call Bette, needing her mentor because this is just something she can’t handle.

Duke is sobbing into his hands as he leans into Barbara’s lap. Barbara who is clinging to him like a lifeline as she feels her world shift once again, feeling so angry and confused at how one of them could be threatened like this. Of all the ways they could go out, was it really going to be cancer?

It was a harrowing experience for all of them to remember that they were human in more than just their flesh being able to bleed and be wounded, but for it to grow sick. For it to age and attack itself.

They were human at the end of the day and Tim…

In Metropolis, Clark Kent rushed into the bathroom at his work to throw up as he heard a conversation miles away.

Me: (watches Sam’s message on the CR Twitter)

My Brain Goblin: “You know, Braius showed up with a massive cut on his throat and difficulty speaking clearly…”

Me: (openly crying) “Ah, I see.”

[incorrectbatfam]

Dick: So what do you do?

Barbara: I work in genetic research and I'm currently trying to eliminate all cancers.

Dick: Wow, impressive.

Barbara: Then I'll move on to Leos.

Thinking about Wade trying to make stupid jokes to piss Logan off only to end up crying.

Wade: Haha, yeah, I ate a can of kidney beans today, so hopefully, my kidney cancer goes away

Logan: *stares at him*

Wade, getting nervous: Cause... Kidney beans? Theyre good for your kidney? Haha...

Logan: You ate beans today?

Wade: uh.. yeah?

Logan: The whole can? That's amazing, bub! Come'ere *hugs him*

Wade: *tears up* But... What about my kidney cancer... heh...

Logan: *still holding him* You did such a good job today.

Wade: *is crying* ...I don't think you're getting the joke..

Logan: *squeezing* I do. Im just so proud of you.

Wade: *ashamed* b-but I threw up..

Logan: Shh.. hey, that's okay.. I love you, wade.

Wade: *starts ugly sobbing*

So now, if Wade is in the right mental place, he'll proudly announce to Logan what he ate today and accept affection as a reward. Even if it's just a slice of bread and water, Logan still holds him and tells him he's proud of him, even if he did immediately throw it back up.

I keep seeing the “Constantine is a soul whore” fanon interpretation. It’s fun and enjoyable to read but I do think it’s important to also know the canon and WHY he sold his soul.

he’s only sold his soul to three demons. All of which he did in rapid succession (same night) to trick them into curing his lung cancer because they didn’t want to deal with Satan being mad at them + causing a civil war in hell just because of this fuckers soul being claimed. The message more being that he’s the worlds best conman and less that he sells his soul all the time.
