i think the most miserable of my muses as a cirque du freak vampire wouldn't be dolores or isabela at all. it'd be camilo. poor kid is too social for his own good he'd perish with that solitary lifestyle. not to mention he can't lift a marshmallow he would get roasted by every vampire on the mountain ;-;

i thought tonight was gonna be a normal night and then i found myself listening to camilo's interlude once and suddenly it's on loop and i'm having thought tm.

[mariiposas]

all this cirque du freak talk has got me thinking about vampire dolores & isabela. they both don’t have a good time bc dolores would just be completely overwhelmed with increased senses ON TOP of her already gifted hearing. and isabela would low key die being on vampire mountain or being forced to keep to the night bc she thrives in the sun.

hey y'all i'm gonna be on vacation from tomorrow to the 8th, i'll put it on my pinned post as a reminder

someone might have pointed this out, but i think green in encanto is used to mark someone who goes outside what is expected of the family, who symbolize those who somehow reject/don't belong. we see green most prominently with mirabel and bruno. the two 'family weirdos' and debatable outcasts. however, there is another person who gets prominently featured with green. at least, later in the movie. and that's isabela. this happens during her big song, where she sheds her perfect princess image and what's expected of her, and embraces her imperfections. only then does she get the green in her hair. idk i just think it's interesting.

camilo and mirabel

[mariiposas]

dolores and mariano are so cute to me bc mariano acknowledges that dolores is her own person outside of her gift/family and she acknowledges that he has more to him than his looks.

[mariiposas]

camilo and mirabel try to unionize the grandkids. it works for a little while, before isabela and mirabel get into a fight. isabela then leaves the union to create her own. the older sisters union consisting of her and dolores. camilo, inspired, decides to take antonio and form their own union. now there's two distinct unions, with mirabel and luisa left. so what do they do? they form their own union! the 'we were supposed to stick together but if you wanna do it that way, we'll do it that way' union. so now there are three. it delves into class warfare. fights break out, negotiations take place, shady deals are discussed. abuela puts an end to it when the older sisters union demand compensation for the 'emotional hardships' that came with babysitting and the younger brothers union in turn demands compensation for being used as dress up dolls.

plotted starter call. like this post & i'll go into ur dms and we can talk about a plot and i'll write a starter for it <3

@dominaxnoctis asked: 👀 Do you think that Dolores would eventually find ways to cope with the extra hearing sensitivity as a vampire or would she just eventually get used to all of it (if she can because that sounds like a complete sensory overload nightmare)?

congrats this awoke something in me. i have many thoughts about this so enjoy a complete disjointed ramble. dolores is implied to be able to hear a pin drop from miles away, in the middle of a crowded and bustling town, and that's without the extra senses. so right off the bat the second she gets those enhanced senses she'd have a breakdown and struggle to even maintain her sanity.

first let's exam cirque du freak specific vampire lore. assuming whoever bloods dolores does it right and makes her a half vampire first, darren was shown to spend three days with ear plugs under a pillow the second he entered a city. and he had average human capabilities. so right away that's a non starter for poor dolores. if she had any chance of survival, they would have to blood her far, far, far away from civilization. even then it'd be agonizing. she probably wouldn't even make it past the half vampire phase sadly.

but continuing cirque du freak lore, let's say that by some miracle she does survive being a half vampire and is fully blooded. now those senses are even extra heightened, forcing her to undergo another breakdown. there's be zero chance of her remotely doing well. not to mention the trials that vampires are often peer pressured to undertake, it'd be a wonder if dolores survived them at all.

this is all assuming that whoever blooded dolores is kind and nice ignores cirque du freak's vampires habits of throwing their newly blooded vamps into the fire headfirst and takes it with her bit by bit.

i can imagine with that it'd take a lot of special circumstances aligning in her favor to make it to full vampirehood and end in good standing with the council and the generals. now that i think about it if she's given time to adjust and develop her coping strategies, i can picture her sailing through the trials with ease. let's take the fire trial, for example. she'd be able to hear more than darren and likely end up dancing with the flames. the water maze trial? even with hearing dampening and those soft shoes she'd be able to hear and memorize the routes.

however, now the REAL fun begins. in an ideal scenario, i can actually imagining dolores thriving as a cirque du freak style vampire. she'd stay in the mountain, in the quiet, and lots of ambient nice noise and overall get used to it. plus, the night is way quieter than the day. she'd likely be pressured to become a general, because come on, they'd definitely want someone with that level of hearing working for them closely. nobody would turn traitor again, nobody would be able to get away with shit, nobody would be able to get the drop on them because dolores hears all.

under the cut is regular vampire lore bc this is getting long.

for regular vampire lore, i.e just being thrust into it by whoever bit her and turned her, would be somehow easier and harder than her as a cirque vampire.

she wouldn't have the relative grace period that comes with being a half vampire, meaning she'd get the extra senses all at once. but she also wouldn't be thrown into test after test, trial after trial. so she'd have a longer adjustment period and an easier time getting used to everything and developing coping strategies over time as opposed to being forced to figure it out right at that instant. she'd likely spend a year or two hiding in a cave, steadily getting more and more progressive towards society.

eventually? she'd be able to handle it. it would take a lot of work, and she'd probably need someone to help her along the way, but she'd get there! she wouldn't enjoy draining someone of blood, and she'd probably even feed cirque style in a normal vampire verse.

again, she'd probably even thrive. night is always quieter, and she'd have the freedom to take things at her own pace and be in enviornments that are comfortable for her.

overall though? no matter how you shake it all comes down to her surviving that critical period between blooding/turning and new coping strategies. either she dies within a year or two due to overstimulation or just ending it... or she becomes the queen of the night and a formidable vampire.
