#wallpaper walker mirabel au

[gamerbearmira]

OK I found this in my notes while I was looking through snippets I wrote before Tumblr. Thought I'd share it here, because I actually really like it!

It's from March. So sorry if the writing is cringy or weird 😭😭 I'm pretty sure this was based on the concept art where Mirabel would go into Casita's walls. So. Yeah.

-----

5 year old Mirabel sobbed in the nursery. A month ago her door disappeared. In front of everyone. She had no gift. No way to help her family. And instead of comforting words, he family looked at her in fear and disappointment.

All except for her Tío Bruno and Camilo. They ran over to her immediately, hugging her and reassuring her that she did nothing wrong, why the rest of her family were trying to comfort the villagers, rather than the one in true distress.

Mirabel looked up. She was alone in this nursery. Camilo had left to go to bed (his mamá looked at Mirabel with what she thought was fear, maybe even...anger?). Abuela called her tío, leaving her alone that night.

Her Abuela never came. Her mamá and papá never came. Her sisters nor prima ever came. No one. Evryone started to either be mean to her or ignore her entirely. She only had Casita.

She sniffled, poking her head over the edge of the bed. "Casita, did I do something...wrong?" She asked, big tears falling onto her glass and the floor.

Casita flipped its floorboards in aggressive disagreement.

Mirabel wiped her eyes and layed her head down.

"I just wish I had gotten a door...Everyone looked so sad or mean. Except for Tío Bruno and Camilo. But Tío Bruno is gone and Tía won't let me play with Camilo. A-Are you mad at me?" She asked, worry filling her already glassy red eyes.

Casita once again aggressively disagreed.

Casita fliped the floorboards under the bed, causing Mirabel to bounce off and land on the floor.

"Casita?" She asked curiously. Looking at the time, it was late; 11 p.m. "I-It's late, I gotta get to bed." She stood up and walked towards the bed, nightgown already on.

Casits nudged the toddler away from the bed and towards the door.

"W-What are you doing? Mirabel was only met with more pushing, she was out in yhe hallway. It was empty and silent, and she didn't like it. "I don't wanna be here..." She whispered.

Casita slowed down. Why wasn't she listening, all she needed to do was listen! Casita had a surprise, just look! Casita, despite Mirabel's protest, pushed her to the empty hallway where he door would have been.

"C-Casita I don't wanna..." She teared up again, turning so her back was facing the wall.

Now! Do it now! Casita rumbled its tiles.

Mirabel looked the floor below, her barefeet on the floor. "Why did you brung me here..."

A soft gold glow emitted from behind her. Mirabel noticed the light reflecting onto the ground and swiftly turned to face the wall. She gasped, looking at the shimmering light.

There was no door but the wallpaper was glowing. The 5 year old stepped closer reaching out. "Is this...for me?" She whispered, loik at the tiles for confirmation. Casita flipped its tiles in a way that meant "Yes." Mirabel giddily walked closer, reaching out to touch the wall. When her hand connected with the wallpaper, her hand was warm with magic and she went into the colorful place.

As she took in her surroundings, she smiled. She didn't have a door, but she did have a cool space to play!

The place she was in was wonderful. It wasn't in the walls, but in the wallpaper. It was a rather large room, complete with a bed and furniture set. The bed was suspended in the air by what looked like strings of light? There were butterfly shaped lights hanging from the ceiling, and a nice little area where she could relax if she wanted. There was even a desk area for her to practice sewing!

Spotted a toybox in the corner. Being a 5 year old, she quickly ran over, giggling. Throwing the box open, she found tons of toys. "Toys!" She yelled happily. Grabbing two dolls, she began to play pretend. A wooden board from below her bounced her up and down as she played.

Mirabel smiled. "Gracias, Casita, your the best! I love it here!" She smiled, continuing to play with the toys.

She played for about 3 hours before getting tired. She slipped into the bed, sayig goodnight to Casita as she removed her glasses and fell asleep.

Casita rung a loud alarm clock, awakening Mirabel. She yawned, putting her glasses in. She took a minute to take in her surroundings, before smiling widely, happy that her wallpaper room wasn't a dream. Looking at the clock, she saw that it was 7:00 a.m.

After getting dressed, she found herself using the desk, practicing her embroidery. Her small hands were still wobbly, and she found herself pricking her fingers more than once. She had taken up the hobby after her gift ceremony. No one would play or talk to her very often anymore, so she found herself in the nursery again and again...

Casita once again rang the clock, signaling it was 9:30.

"Time for breakfast!" She giggled, jumping off of the chair, she went back towards the wall. Seeing as there was no door, she assumed she would just go through the wallpaper again. Mirabel lifted her hands towards the wall, and to her surprise, it shone gold.

She hopped through, jumping into the hallway. Looking behind her, the wall was normal, as if she never went through it.

"Whoa...." She whispered. Wait! She had to get to breakfast! She skipped down the hall, humming a tune. These days, she had been sad, dragging herself down the hallway. But now that she has a room, she's so much happier! She can't wait to tell her familia! Maybe they'll be nice again and Tío Bruno will come back?

Casita made the stairs a slide, and she slid down giggling. Out one of the many windows, she spotted her family outside. It looked like thay had just been getting ready to eat. But something about them was...off.

Firstly, there was a large cloud from her tía looming over the table. Second, the whole family looked..disheveled. Tired. Her mamá, papá and sisters look the most distressed. The others either had looks of worry, sadness, or tiredness.

Mirabel curiously went out to the courtyard, peeking around the corner.

"I know you all must be very stressed, but I promise you, we will find Mirabel. She could not have gone far." Her Abuela spoke.

Find her? Mirabel just came for breakfast though. No one came to wake her up from the nursery anymore because that was her job! And last night she had only slept in her new room over night, maybe 5 hours at best! And she knew she had woken up on time, so what did they mean?

"Mamá, we need to find her! My baby, I need my..." Julieta sobbed into her husband. Pepa's cloud thundered, and soon it began to do drizzle over the table. The thunder clapped again, this time much louder, scaring Mirabel.

"Eep!" She squeaked, jumping and hiding behind the door. Everyone snapped their heads towards the sound. Dolores' eyes widened slightly.

Mirabel peaked back around the corner. Casita pushed her foward, revealing the 5 year old. Unlike the rest of her family, she looked like normal. Her big glasses almost falling off of her nose, her blue and white dress ironed and pressed neatly. Her hair was a bit frazzled, but that was rather normal. Her big brown eyes stared at her family.

"Good Morning!" She smiled happily, waving in her usual upbeat manner.

In a flash, the family tackled her in a hug, Julieta and Agustín being the first.

"¡Oh, Dios mio! You're safe! You're here!" Julieta cried. Mirabel only hugged back, confused.

"But I didn't go anywhere?" Mirabel asked confused. Everyone exchanged looks, looking at Mirabel as if she was crazy.

"Mirabel...What do you mean?" Félix asked.

"I was only sleeping for a while? I left for a couple hours to play, but I came back right after. So, I was only gone a couple hours!" She explained.

Julieta reeled back, holding Mirabel at an arms length. A look of worry and fear crossed her face. "Mirabel." She gulped, glancing at Alma. "You've been gone...for 5 days. We searched the encanto up and down, but we hadn't found you."

Mirabel gasped lightly. Had she been that long? No, because Casita woke her up, she KNEW she hadn't been sleep that long. She could only scratch her head in confusion. "But I was in my room playing...A-Ask Casita! I swear, I was in the house!" She tried to explain.

Everyone just stared at her as she tried to explain the situation. That she HADN'T been gone 5 days and that she WAS in Casita.

"Mirabel. I know you weren't in Casita. I definitely would have heard you." Dolores said.

"No, ugh, look, come on." She grabbed her mamá's hand and lead her back into the house. Slowly, the family followed suit. They came up to the hallway and to the empty wall where her door was supposed to be.

"I was in there!" She pointed a small finger at the wall. "My room!"

The family looked at her as if she was insane. A couple visibly flinched.

"Mirabel...baby...I know it's hard but," Julieta went to comfort Mirabel, hugging the small child. "There's nothing there."

"Mirabel, I think you should go back to sleep for a while. You're still in shock." Luisa tried to coax her.

Mirabel only pushed her mother away, stomping her foot. "No! There IS a room there. Look!" She stepped towards the wall. Taking in a deep breath, she put her hand towards the wall. The family watched in awe as the wallpaper lit up gold, Mirabel's hand passing through the seemingly solid wall.

She smiled, retreating her hand. She swiveled back around, facing her family, a look of triumph on her face. She huffed, putting her hands on her hips and standing tall. Well, as tall as a 5 year old could anyway. "See! I told you! I can go into the pretty wallpaper and there's a room!"

No one said anything.

Then absolute chaos ensued.

What do y'all think? I actually think I had something going for a minute. Gotta go, but I'll answer some asks once I get home 😩

Gonna call this AU "Wallpaper Walker Mirabel" for now 😭😭

[gamerbearmira]

Imagine how upset and guilty the whole fam felt during those five days. Suddenly little Mira is gone and the last thing they did was either be mean or ignore her and Cami is upset and crying cause he wants his twin but he's also mad cause the adults made her go away

Oh yeah definitely 😭 They thought she ran away or was taken, and searched the Encanto up and down for her. 5 days, she was gone, without a trace at that. They literally saw her go into the nursery (where she cried, not that anyone other than Camilo noticed,) and then, she never came to breakfast that next morning. Once it occurred to them spthat she wasn’t even in the house, they panicked.

Camilo? Literally blamed all the adults. Bro was crying the entire time, and refused to talk to any of the adults unless he absolutely had too. Completely abandoned his chores to look for Mirabel too. He only slept in the nursery, waiting for her to come back, he wouldn’t even go to his room. (Alma low key blamed herself, because of what Camilo said.)

In the wall Mirabel makes me think of Mario Odyssey a lot because of how he would go into walls and transform into the wall art

Shiiii that would be cool asf tho 😩 Wallpaper art, so cool <3 Imagine if Mirabel could draw things on the wall and then pull them out physically. She would be a menace with that.

[gamerbearmira]

Like Harold and the purple crayon or Rudy Tabooty

Yeah, exactly! I think she'd use more than just crayons though. Y know? Like different forms of traditional media, such as paint, oil pastels, pencils etc etc.

[gamerbearmira]

Baby Wallpaper walker Mira, I love you, but.

PLEASE 😭😭

She didn’t mean it <3 Casita actually purposely slowed down time for her, just to reach the family a lesson, I promise it might not happen again

[gamerbearmira]

First your Wallpaper Walker looks interesting and fun!

Second...what do you think of a Sailor Moon AU? Where Mirabel becomes Sailor Moon when she's like ten (although the pen makes her look like in the anime so no one really notices?) And only the cats and the other Sailors know who she is and how old she is so they're like EXTREMELY overprotective of their young tiny princess and the family except maybe one or two just...never notice? Not until her frequent disappearances are pointed out by someone else or they see Mirabel with her Sailors out of uniform? And since she probably helps raise Antonio then he's treated as a little Moon Prince by the Scouts?

That would so cuteeee oh my gosh.

They would definitely be very protective of her. Even when she got older, they still are overprotective of her, but she finds it endearing. All of the scouts are like older sisters to Mirabel, and she loves it. I think she was hesitant to help them out at first, because she felt like she wasn’t needed; but they reassured her that she was just as important as any other scout and she was on board. I think the scouts like to spoil her and brings her tons of stuff <3

And for Antonio yeah, that too! He can’t really do much helping out, but he’s there for moral support. The scouts taught him how to fight and do very basic magic, so he helps out occasionally, but most of the time’s just there to cheer them on <3 they definitely react him like a prince and spoil him, like Mirabel lmao
