i’m rlly glad with the way luisa was portrayed in encanto. bcus she is strong, she is built muscly and broad and tall. BUT she also wears dresses and doesn’t have a ‘boyish’ hairstyle. she isn’t masculine. she’s feminine.
yk a lot of women in fiction who are portrayed as strong are always immediately made to be masculine as well. and obviously this solidifies the “men are strong” stereotype. women in fiction who are muscly, or who are fighters or who are strong are almost ALWAYS portrayed as masculine but luisa isn’t.
women can be strong and feminine. women can be muscly and wear dresses. and that strength that’s “all so masculine and man like (/sarc)” doesn’t take anything away from their womanhood/femininity.

Headcanon Time!
Félix has an older sister who thinks Pepa is not good enough for him, and hasn’t liked her ever since they were dating.
Augustín is the last out of 8 children.

If I had to guess which Madrigal snooped into Bruno’s tower after he left and spread the rumor about his last vision, I’d say it was Félix: he is prudent enough to warn the others about it, but also smart enough not to reveal Mirabel was in it. Everyone else would have.

Madrigals I would DIE to see interact:
1) Julieta & Isabela
2) Julieta & Luisa
3) Julieta & Camilo
6) Julieta & Antonio
7) Just give Julieta more screen time

Considering the context behind Isabela and Camilo’s names, I’m willing to bet the writers of Encanto named Dolores that as a reference to the pain she constantly goes through because of her gift.

As much as I know Julieta needed to get away from Mirabel from a narrative standpoint, I never understood why Pepa would need Julieta’s help so urgently. Her powers were gone, after all.
Unless…
Julieta’s arepas stayed magical even after her powers were gone.
“Mirabel, are you hurt?“
