More Encanto Headcanons because why not🕯
Isabela absolutely adores insects, snakes, lizards, etc.. She wasn't able to express her interest in them for most of her life so when she got to, you can bet she started keeping a bunch of little critters as pets. Her carnivorous plants take care of the ones that try to eat her creations 😈
The funny total opposite, Mariano is fucking terrified of big bugs and snakes, he will practically jump in Dolores' arms if he sees one while Isa will just laugh her ass off.
Bruno gave Mirabel a music box when she was 4 years old. After he left, she never played with it again because it made her sad and she forgot about it.
Before they got to know each other, Félix would play the guitar and sing a song he wrote about admiring Pepa from afar around the village.
Not gonna lie, I like the "wine mom Pepa" headcanon though I'm not sure if that fits in with the culture since wine isn't a big thing in Colombia, correct me if I'm wrong.
Dolores is attuned to the sound of everyone's heartbeats, it helps ground her when things get too loud and overwhelming. (For instance if she's there is a lot of conflict or there's just a lot going on, she can focus on Mariano's heartbeat since its usually slow and calming. She can also focus on others as well) on the other hand. There are situations where this doesn't work. If everyone's heart is pounding all at once without a single calm one, of course she's going to be just as stressed.
Camilo is A LOT like his father in that he's a major goofball and a prankster like Félix used to be when he was younger. He can also handle very emotional situations well for his age (this mainly came from growing up with Pepa). Despite this though, he's closer to his mother. 💛
Though she hates to admit it, Luisa will get muscle strain if she works too hard for too long and will be in immense pain. So to prevent this from happening as often as it did, Julieta will give her fresh food while she is working. When the family all come back home, Isabela will grow Luisa's favorite plants and make tea with them. And basically give her a personal spa treatment 💕
Speaking of tea, on discovering how much she can grow, Isabela started to grow tea leaves along with lavender, chamomile flowers, jasmine, mint leaves and other things of that nature. So she makes tea from these plants. Sometimes her and her mom with have a little mother-daughter day where they just make stuff together. It's adorable 💖
Pepa and Dolores do have a close relationship, but Pepa often worries that her storms scare or hurt Dolores because of her gift. Pepa's emotional storms only scare Dolores if they're directed at her, that probably means she's in trouble 😅
Antonio was vegan (or tried his best to be) for about a year but then he witnessed how violent the food chain can be. 😅 he asked his animal friends if they were bothered by him eating animal products and they were basically like, "we eat each other so.. nope." He just won't eat meat in front of whatever animal it came from, it still feels wrong to him.
Alma did not trust Agustín whatsoever when him and Julieta started dating. She thought he was a distraction and taking advantage of her (which is ironic considering the whole town started to take advantage of them but anyway.) It had to take them marrying and building onto the family for her to respect him.
Félix on the other hand had it a little easier. Alma saw how he was able to calm Pepa's storms and how charming he was. (Which of course was opposite to Agustín's awkwardness).
After Julieta and Pepa got married, you can bet Alma tried to persuade Bruno to find a woman and marry as well 😅. Bruno was always exponentially nervous when it came to talking to women. Almost every woman thought of him as the creepy harbinger of doom so that didn't help.
I don't really have any headcanons in place of Bruno's sexuality. If one day I'm like "nevermind he's ONLY into guys" then cool but right now, he's just into whatever I think he'd be into. Right now it's women because women are great 😅
Speaking of girls, Isabela thought she was bisexual for a long time until she started dating Maya, then she looked back at all the times she dated guys and she discovered that she never liked them the way she liked girls ^^
Maya was the opposite, she always thought she was lesbian because only ever wanted to date girls until she started interacted with guys more, then she realized that she has romantic and sexual feelings for both. So she's bi 💖.
Isabela and Maya both thought Alma was going to hate their relationship. Isa expected her to shut them out of the family but nope. Alma is wary of their relationship but mainly because she's worried about their safety. She isn't hateful but she knows there are a bunch of people that go out of their way to cause harm. She doesn't want that for her granddaughter or Maya.
Isabela still has phantom pains from the Hanahaki Disease. She'll feel like something is growing in her lungs and get worried that Maya doesn't love her anymore only to be reassured that she does 🌸
Bruno often uses his rat novelas not only as an escape but as a way to process his thoughts and emotions. The characters feelings may reflect how he's feeling in that moment. When he got out of the walls and started playing these for his family, he didn't think they would notice but they did, especially Mirabel, his mother and his sisters. So whenever a plot in his story is very sad, one of them will pull him to the side and ask if he's okay even when he is 💚

Imagine Bruno’s rats going back after accompanying Camilo’s verse in We Don’t Talk About Bruno and re-performing the dance for Bruno. Bruno’s like “haha that’s neat...I wonder where you guys learned that, I didn’t teach you that.”
Months later, everyone’s taking a break from rebuilding Casita and Bruno goes off to the edge of the woods. He hears noises further inside the woods and eventually discovers Camilo teaching the rats choreography to some song Mirabel recently made up. Bruno bursts out from his hidden position, excited that someone else in the family is making friends with his rats.
Camilo freaks out because Bruno appears out of nowhere, pointing and exclaiming, “IT WAS YOU!”

More Madrigal headcanons:
Pepa was very supportive when Isabela came out and, when her sobrina eventually gets married, she'll make a whole ass rainbow 🌈 for the wedding.
Felix and Pepa can tell the difference between a shapeshifting Camilo and the actual person. They're the only ones who can do it without fail. Dolores can tell sometimes by using her powers but not always.
Camilo is the type who likes to travel and, when he grows up, they'd definitely want to leave Encanto to travel the world for a few months. He'll have their own adventures, take a lot of pictures, make a lot of friends and buy souvenirs to bring back for the family. He'd build his own reputation, abusing his powers a little to mess with people who don't know who they are.
Isabela discovers she likes to draw and paint so she starts turning her room into a fusion of a garden and paint studio. She paints portraits of the family to show how much she loves them and Casita even lets her paint the walls. Sometimes, she paints abstract but she also paints figures. She doesn't even bother wearing aprons because she thinks paint stains give her dresses character.
Bruno starts out awkward around Antonio because he’s the one sobrino who was born after he left. They eventually connect with each other through the rats. However, with the other 5, the problem is different. Bruno only knows things about them he remembers from when they were 4, 12 or 9 so he tries to connect with them but can only think of games they played when they were kids. There’s an adjustment period but all the cousins love their tío so much and appreciate his effort.
After the events of the film, Alma spends a long time being overly affectionate to Mirabel and Bruno to make up for 10 years of not hugging them or kissing them or telling them “Te amo”. Mirabel and Bruno have mixed feelings on this. On one hand, they’re both super starved for affection and attention, specifically coming from Alma so they are very happy to receive it. But it also gets awkward at times. They appreciate it and are confused by it at the same time. 
Bruno is very superstitious ("knock on wood" and flinging salt). He gets scared when he sees black cats or broken mirrors. He often burns benjui to calm down.
Isa and Luisa took ballet classes when they were little. Isa was good at it but hated it, Luisa was bad but loved it.
Isa loves kids and she does want to be a mother someday, just not with Mariano.
Isa and Luisa love each other very much, get along quite well and almost never fight. Most of the fights they did have happened before the events of the movie and mostly involved Luisa getting mad at Isabela for being rude to Mirabel. Sometimes, Luisa would even get the parents involved and that's when Isa went really mad.
Dolores loves Isabela and doesn't resent her at all. However, she still has an inferiority complex from growing up with Isa as "The Favorite". Not pretty enough, her gift isn't cute, it's creepy, no one ever pays attention to her. It's not just about Mariano, it's also about the rest of the family not seeing her. It takes her a while to work through her insecurities but Isabela always tells her she's beautiful and worthy.
Bruno goes through ridiculous lengths to make sure he spends equal amounts of time on each sobrino and sobrina. He never wants them to think he has a favorite. If you ask him whether he has a favorite, he will go OFF on you. And an angry Bruno is not a pretty sight.
Félix traveled to Encanto from El Caribe, while Agustín is a city boy from Bogota (this is canon from the Encanto Art Book). They both left their homes in their youth and met up on their travels, becoming good friends. Once the two young men arrived in Encanto together, they were fascinated by the magic that sorrounded them. Felix saw Pepa making a giant storm with hail and everything one day and was like "That one. I want that one" and Agustín was like "You're crazy but go off, I guess". Agustín went to Julieta every time he got hurt (a lot) and tried his darnest to make her laugh, he says her laugh is wonderful.
Félix liked to tell Pepa storied about his travels around the entire country of Colombia and some other places in South America, too. Pepa, who has never stepped outside the town, was fascinated by this adventurer who experienced so much. Pepa tried really hard to hide her crush on him but it was kind of impossible when, every time he came around, the temperature went up to 40° Celsius.
Bruno was very awkward around his sister's past boyfriends because he already knew they were going to break up and he sometimes couldn't help but tell Pepa or Julieta about the break up ahead of time. When he met Agustín and Félix and was able to predict that those were their future husbands, he was so relieved. The 3 men are very good friends and Agustín and Félix missed Bruno on the 10 years he wasn't home.
Every Halloween, people of Encanto asked Isabela to make them pumpkins and, on Christmas, they asked her to make pinetrees. Before the events of the movie, those holidays were her favorite time of year because she got the make something that wasn’t pretty pink flowers. She absolutely loathes Día de San Valentín.
