What she says: I’m fine.

What she’s actually thinking: At the end of Encanto when Bruno is reunited with his sisters, Pepa rushes him and lifts him up in a hug, which clearly shows she missed him and wanted him back home. This is initially surprising given how strict she is about discussing Bruno and how she spoke of him to Mirabel, but what if that’s all just been a front to keep herself from feeling the loss.

Pepa has likely been pressured her whole life to contain her negative emotions for the sake of the village and in the face of such a sudden and unexplained loss of her brother, she needed to keep her feelings on the issue in check, so the best way to avoid feeling the loss is to just not feel anything. And then, in addition to Pepa forbidding any mention of Bruno, this is reinforced by Abuela who at the time and especially after Mirabel didn’t get a gift, was most concerned with maintaining appearances. This could have led to the removal of the portraits in the stairway up to his tower and anything else he left in the house, because even seeing these little reminders can trigger the feelings of the loss.

And then!!! After all these years!!! To see Bruno come home and be accepted by Abuela, just to have this moment of relief that he is here!! And it’s ok!! And she doesn’t have to hold back or worry about the emotional/magical kick back because everyone’s powers were off in that moment, her brother is home and she really missed him and she doesn’t have to pretend otherwise anymore.

You got pitchforks because your rant is fucking stupid OP

A (small-ish) rant thingy for Isabela and Mirabel’s “fixed” relationship. And how Isabela (probably) came to treat Mirabel the way she did.

Encanto’s following isn’t as active as it was a few weeks ago, so hopefully this means I won’t get as many pitchforks lol.

Just as a quick note, I am happy that Isabela and Mirabel patched things up. I just felt that it was rushed and underdeveloped and was kinda not well justified.

Welp, here we go. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

First off, I know that this is Disney and Mirabel had to resolve the issue with Isabela because the magic depended on it, but dang, if I had Isabela as my sister I wouldn’t have forgiven her after one song.

Also, I know they were both antagonistic towards each other, but Isabela is an adult. Why is a 20 something year old having beef with a teenager 6-7 years younger than her? Isabela taking out her jealousy on Mirabel for not being under the same kind of pressure for perfection is really no excuse, especially when she sees how abuela treats Mirabel.

She really thinks being ignored, looked down upon, and constantly being told to stay out of the way of more “talented” family members is somehow better than what she has, which is abuela’s love and adoration? I don’t believe it for a second.

What I do believe though, is that abuela’s treatment of Mirabel, i.e. condescending and always telling her she is in the way, always annoyed at everything she does for no reason at all, rubbed off on Isabela and she saw it as acceptable, maybe even a good thing, to further get abuela’s affection (think of all the teacher’s pet you know).

So she mistreats and look down on her sister because she saw abuela do it and feels it’s normal, if you’re not gifted or helpful you’re a burden and will be treated as such. It’s like seeing a bully and her lackey. At the start of the movie, their interactions are full of just mean spirited behaviour. I mean you can see the parallels in the two scenes below.

Another example is when Isabela says, “if you weren’t always trying so hard, you wouldn’t be in the way”. Even though she knows Mirabel tries so hard because she is the only one without a gift. Like… is that not unnecessarily cruel to anyone else?? A grown adult acting that way to a child??

She also tells Mirabel to apologise for something Mirabel wasn’t even responsible for (hello?? She was the one that turned Mariano’s nose into a “smashed papaya”, not Mirabel??). And just the overall smugness in her tone, despite the fact that Mirabel was doing what she did for the family’s sake really made it difficult for me to accept that Mirabel and her just became besties after they sang and ran about the roof tops for a bit.

My final point as to why I did not like how buddy buddy they made the sisters so quickly after is that, at the end of the movie, abuela apologised to Mirabel for hurting her. However Isabela did not. Not on screen anyway. How difficult would it have been to say “sorry I was kinda a spoiled asshole and I should have been a better older sister to you?” Apparently too difficult.

#way to miss the point dumbass

So far, my favorite part my stroke (and subsequent aphasia) is how I constantly replace "sour" with "spicy". Just spent ten minutes arguing my partner about how spicy my lemonade is before they realized I meant sour.
