Song for little sister. Canción para hermanita.
Little headcanon/speculation for the Mirabirthday:
In the first minutes of the movie, we see Mirababy-turning-five in the nursery, getting told the story of the miracle, presumably for the first time in her life. She also gets to see and learning of the magic candle. While it’s a part of initiation for the gift receiving, it’s staged as if she gets introduced to the whole deal only now. Seemingly the magic was regarded as regular part of her family’s life up to that moment, until she learns of origin and value of it. The candle, meanwhile, is always at full display, reminding everyone of the significance of miracle and the cost of it. We also get a view of interior of nursery, the walls adorned with Mirabel’s drawings of her family members and herself as sort of fairy being, as anticipation of her own upcoming magical power. There are almost all family members depicted – Abuela, Mira’s parents, sisters, aunt, cousin, save for Félix and Camilo and, most poignant, Bruno. Well, maybe, Mira wasn’t too close to her peer cousin (boys and girls aren’t always getting along in that age, after all), and I have no ready explanation for Félix (but wait for it), and absence of Bruno just further confirms that Mira is not only having no memories of her uncle while coming of age, she didn’t even acknowledge his presence when he was around. Where I’m going with all of that? I'm getting closer to the point.
Mirabel’s eye condition, requiring the glasses to wear, is a myopia (it was confirmed by Jared Bush in the Q&A online session) she appears to share with her father. Now, regarding if the village even has practicing optometrist to identify condition this early in life, it could have been some time until it became apparent for the people to notice, along with the little kid obtaining verbosity to descript it herself. We don’t see anything before the birthday, so may it be it was detected only recently, and she’s got the glasses shortly before the events of the movie? (Also, I presume, near-sightedness is a metaphor for Mirabel, being too focused on her own worth inside of family, lacking ability to see the struggles other family members undergo with the burden of miracle, and, eventually, the issue on the larger scope, and, due her short temper and go-get attitude, missing proverbial foresight. In this regard, she even serves as dualist to Bruno for the most of the story, despite both having similar concerns for others. But this is the subject for different topic I eventually want to address. Agustín also doesn’t appear to be particularly observant about other’s feelings, or at least, able to read the room, though in his case, it may be general absent-mindedness and/or social awkwardness.)
For the reason (people sometimes picking on) why her mother not appearing to cure it for her, while “official” answer given was her not seeing eye condition as serious defect but instead a part of charm, it’s very wholesome and humanitarian explanation, but I’m going with different theory: Julieta’s ability doesn’t expand beyond inflicted injuries and diseases, she can’t fix conditions that are woven into one’s DNA and run in generations. Or maybe her powers are only helping people with increasing their own immunity and the speed of regeneration from the harm, so it doesn’t work with congenital defects either.
My assumption is, it’s even possible, the glasses were in fact a present for Mirabel for her fifth birthday, with “Abre los ojos” line referring not just to the event of getting introduced to the family’s legacy and upcoming duty to carry it, but to the simultaneous event of obtaining ability of clear sight (both literal and figurative). And for the referred above absence of imagery of Bruno in Mira’s drawings, it’s because, while she might be aware of his existence, she just didn’t have the opportunity to get clear look of him, due his general disengagement in gatherings and the growing distance from the rest of family (it also may be, as Mirabel herself, he used to avoid being caught on the camera for his own reasons – seeing himself not worthy or dismissive of his own image, so no definitive portraits of him in the house, adult ones at least). That, and her being too short to reach to that family tree picture in the dinner room.
One thing that detracts my reasoning is, on that fairy self-portrait Mira depicts herself with glasses too, but maybe, she was aware of getting them for present this day and had drawn the picture in advance while anticipating the fateful event. There are always some loophole to maintain integrity of headcanons, you see:D

Mirabel's Skirt Symbols (UPDATED HC)
Since a few years have passed since the full reconstruction of Casita and continuing mend of the family's relationship, I'd like to think a now slightly older Mirabel's skirt embroidery reflects on the progress made since then.
Abuela Alma & Abuelo Pedro | Two Caterpillars (Dos Oruguitas)
Instead of a single candle representing her Abuela Alma, Mirabel's new symbol design would probably be of two caterpillars w/ love hearts. (Bonus points if the hearts represent the colors of the OG triplets.) ❤️🐛 💙🧡💚
Julieta & Agustín | Bowl w/ Bees 🥣🐝💙
For Julieta, Mirabel would probably make a small bowl w/ a tiny bee on it, and two blue hearts rising from the top. Both would represent Mirabel's parents and their love.
Pepa & Felix | Rainbow/Sleet & Umbrella ☔🌈
Mirabel's Tiá & Tio would be proudly represented by an embroidery of a rainbow jutting upwards from an orange umbrella. Sleet and rain symbols could be near the rainbow too. (She's proud of her Tiá! No matter what kind of weather she has.)
Bruno | Rat wearing green ruana/drama masks 🐀💚🎭
Bruno's embroidery would likely be of a silly rat(s) wearing a green ruana and/or drama masks. OR or - maybe just the rats wearing green ruanas w/ the hood up/bucket on their head, all really depends on what Bruno's preferred vibe is.
Isabela | Cactus w/ blue/purple flowers 🌵💠
To help represent the stronger bond with her older sisters, Mirabel likely surprised Isabela w/ an embroidered symbol of a green cactus - but with a big dark blue flower at the top, bigger purple one in the middle, and light blue one at the bottom. All three flowers proudly represent the bond between the three cool-colored sisters.
Luisa | Donkeycorn! 🦄💜
For Luisa, Mirabel's skirt symbol would now be of her sister's favorite animal: the playful Donkeycorn! I'd like to think it would be in a proud and powerful stance, representing the unconditional love and both the physical and emotional strength of her older sister.
Dolores | Red Bow/Ribbon w/ Musical Notes 🎀🎶
Maybe in the time during reconstruction, there was a moment where Dolores freely showed the community her melodic singing voice. Mirabel wanted to help remember that moment w/ her cousin's iconic red ribbon, accompanied with little music/poetry notes.
Camilo | Mischievous Chameleon w/ Plate of Arepas 🦎🧡🫓
I like to think despite being older and probably expected to act more their ages, both Mirabel and Camilo never lost their mischievous sparks in the family. Mirabel's skirt symbol for her cousin represents this w/ none other than a mischievous chameleon in front of a LARGE plate of arepas.
Antonio | Jaguar & Big/Little Toucans
For her littlest cousin and partner in crime, Mirabel made, in her eyes, one of the best designs of them all. This being a mighty jaguar face like the first symbol, but with one big toucan and little toucan atop its head (representing the brotherly-sisterly bond they have. 🧡💙
Mirabel | Accordion with a Pink butterfly
I wanted to save the best for last. For the miracle herself, I'd like to see think Mirabel would make a symbol of her talents, being an accordion w/ a symbol of a pink butterfly in the middle.

Both Bruno and Dolores have really bad insomnia and often meet up in the kitchen to have late night snacks.
Julietta always has fresh baked cookies for them.

I'm unsure if you've already done this one, but do you have Autistic Dolores or Pepa headcanons?
I have not. This one I will have to think about a bit because I absorb headcanons through osmosis and then they mutate into their own beasts.
This is a basic one, but I can see Pepa playing with her braid (something that she does in the movie) as a nervous stim maybe? She would also probably be more pressured into masking untinentional misogyny towards her by others
As for Dolores, this has been pointed out, but the script points out that she is trying to help Mirabel, though others mistake her actions as being rude/sabotaging Mirabel and the family. That kinda stuff prob happens a lot and she's not aware of it. I feel like any HC surrounding sound would be pretty basic and self-explanitory too, but appreciating peace & quiet is something that helps her bond with Bruno.
I'm guessing since you sent an ask, you might have your own HC's, which I would love to hear. I adore seeing people's different interpretations of the characters

Encanto Headcanons!!
So I saw Encanto a few days ago and I literally have not stopped thinking about it so... HEADCANONS!
Some of these are specific to post-canon, some aren't.
One of the things being done to lighten Luisa's workload is Antonio just telling the donkeys to go back in the barn
Dolores didn't high-key snitch on Bruno living in the walls because she relates to knowing things other people don't want to know/don't want you to know
Camilo has a stash of tea somewhere for when Pepa gets stressed
Dolores' room has a bunch of things in it that muffle sound, but also a bunch of things that make interesting sounds
Pepa and Julieta's rooms have aspects of them which also cater to their respective husbands because of how important they are to them
Bruno's favorite game is chess, but he never follows the rules, he just starts making up ridiculous plotlines and derails everything like four moves in. Everyone learns to just go along with it.
Mirabel's glasses are magically reinforced (how else do you explain them not getting disastrously scratched up when she falls face first into a ton of sand?)
Isabela gets commissioned to dye clothing after she realizes she can
A good half of the village just calls Alma "abuela"
Luisa likes to do things like woodworking. The more delicate things don't always turn out the best, but she enjoys it anyway.

Hi! Could I request imagine or headcanons about having a cozy movie night with Madrigal grandkids? (Gn or m reader would be awesome) thank you!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
𝐍𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐆𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 !
Movie night, hcs, X reader, no specific pairings, GN!Reader
↳ Madrigal grandkids
Tumblr media
° I do truly wish you luck best friend
° You guys spend more time fighting over a movie to watch then you do actually watching a movie
° 6 people with very differing tastes good luck soldier
° Mirabel sneaks of to put the movie she wanted to watch in while you guys are still bickering
° You all protest but the intro is already playing there's nothing you can do about it anymore
° You'd been given the specific rule from Pepa to keep everything pg considering Antonio
° A rule that was broken within 2 seconds
° Dolores takes to covering his eyes and ears
° Isabela is very begrudgingly watching the movie Mirabel picked, ends up more invested then Mirabel herself
° There's a major character death and you almost get crushed by a very sad Luisa
° Julieta comes in every once in a while to check up on you guys
° It sure is a sight to see Camilo scramble to pause the movie when you guys hear her coming
° Other then the absolute chaos, it's a pretty cozy night
° Many cuddle pile, Luisa is a great bed, you find
° You guys end up watching a kids movie at the end of the night to make up for breaking Pepa's rule
° She still somehow finds out about it (Camilo accidentally let it slip) and sets out a punishment
° You, luckily are already out of the house by then
° You should do that more often

Happy Birthday @sokkas-first-fangirl
Ever since I read this line in your story:
“They always work hard,” Mariano added. “You know, one time when we were little, I got terribly lost in the jungle and Dolores found me all by herself!”
I wanted to write a little something for it and what better time than your birthday! I hope you'll like it💜
*******######***********######********
"We need to find him! Why would he run away like that?" 
"Mama?" 
"We will find him, please calm down." 
"Oh my poor baby! He's all alone!" 
"Mami, I can-" 
Pepa distractedly smiles down at her  daughter and pats her head. "Not now, Honey. We need to find the Guzman boy." 
"But I can-" 
But her mother is already gone, conversing with Abuela and other villagers to arrange for a search party. Dolores puffs her little cheeks out and stomps her foot. Silently. Everything she does is silent since she got her gift a week ago. 
Her voice has grown softer too. Maybe a side effect of her gift?
Dolores doesn't know. Dolores doesn't care! 
It's so hard being heard ever since she got her gift. If she were older and if she actually knew the meaning of 'irony', that might have amused her. 
She is anything but amused.
She can hear the Guzman boy (Marian? Martin? Something like that).
She can hear him in the jungle, crying his stupid eyes out. But no one will listen to her. They are all running around, frantic, and no one pays little, soft spoken Dolores any mind. They don't know the extent of her gift yet, admittedly. As far as they are concerned, she can only hear really well. Even Dolores didn't know she could hear sounds so far away. Her gift is still new and it fluctuates a little. Sometimes the Guzman boy sounds like he is far away, sometimes it sounds like he is right next to her. 
The constant sound of his sniffles and sobs irritates Dolores like most things do since her ceremony. She is definitely still struggling to accept her gift. Isabela got pretty flowers and what did Dolores get? Super hearing. How lame. How boring. 
How painful.
None of the adults pay her any mind so if she wants the sniffling in her ears to stop, she'll have to take matters into her own hands. 
Dolores stomps her foot once more, despite her ire a little scared to venture into the jungle alone. When none of the adults turn towards her she huffs and disappears into the jungle. 
She'll just have to do it herself.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
She finds him an hour later. The sounds of the jungle have turned her around once or twice, but finally she spots him sitting at the base of a big tree, arms wrapped around his legs and head buried in his knees. 
He is a small, thin child, even smaller than Dolores. She thinks they are the same age, but she is not sure. She hasn't spoken a lot with him until now. Which is why it feels so awkward, trying to get his attention. 
"Hey." she whispers. Dolores clears her throat so she can try again, louder this time, but his head immediately snaps up. She is a little taken aback since she didn't think she was loud enough to be heard. 
His eyes are red and swollen. His cheeks are tearstained. He looks like a mess. 
"Dolores?" 
Dolores shuffles closer. His voice sparked a memory. "Mariano, right? Your mama and papa are looking for you." 
He looks around, worried. "Are they here?" 
"No, I came alone." She taps her ear, a gesture that will become second nature to her soon. "I heard you with my gift." 
He stares at her ears and scrubs the tears away. For a second he looks embarrassed, but then he smiles at her. 
"That is amazing. Gracias!" 
Dolores blinks. Her gift? Amazing? And is this how Isa feels like when people thank her for her flowers? If so, no wonder she runs through the Encanto gifting flowers left and right. 
Mariano's face suddenly crumbles again. "I was so scared!" 
Dolores flounders, stepping from one foot to the other. She has never seen a boy cry like that. So open and vulnerable. The boys she knows all try to act tough and strong. But the sight isn't weird or anything. In fact, she thinks it's alright. She would have been scared too, alone in the jungle. Dolores is a little scared right now, to be completely honest. She hears a lot more than Mariano. Lots of animals breathing and prancing and… and growling. Sticks breaking. Nearby.
"It's okay!" she mutters and hurries to his side. His hand is clammy when she grabs it to pull him to his feet. As soon as he is standing, she pulls him towards the village. "Let's go home." 
He follows her meekly. Their footsteps are loud to Dolores' ears, but not loud enough to drown out all the creepy sounds. They are constant and they seem to get louder and louder. 
Dolores can't ignore or suppress them and she is getting a little panicky. 
"Why did you go into the jungle?" she asks, voice tight. Maybe she can distract herself at least. 
Mariano sniffles once more. "I wanna be a poet, but Papa says that's stupid. He says I need to 'man up'." 
Dolores hums. Adults are so weird sometimes. "What does that mean?" 
"I don't know." 
The sounds are getting louder and louder and they now mix with the voices of the adults who are not just screaming for Mariano now, but for Dolores as well. Seems like they finally noticed that she left. 
"Do you wanna hear one?" 
"What?" 
"A poem?" 
"Oh. Sure." Dolores mumbles. More noise is not exactly what she wants right now, but her Abuela always tells them that they need to be polite to everyone. They are the Madrigals and they have an image to 'uphold'. Whatever that means. Probably something similar to 'man up'. 
Mariano takes a deep breath and Dolores prepares herself for something stupid, a little limerick about a donkey or something, but the second the first verse leaves his mouth, she stops in her tracks and stares back at him out of wide eyes. 
Mariano doesn't seem to notice. He's got his eyes closed and a smile on his face. He recites a poem about the wind and the way it moves through the grass. It is very simple and the language a little clunky at certain points. But it is beautiful. It's got heart and soul. 
His voice and the words drown out all the other sounds. Dolores hears only him and she is entranced. 
When he finishes, Dolores is at peace. 
"Did you like it?" he asks shyly. 
"Yes!" she blurts out, loud, the loudest she has been since her ceremony. Her heart flutters and there is a shine in her eyes and a breathlessness she can't explain. "Yes I did! Do you have more?" 
And they walk home, hand in hand, and Mariano recites all the poems his young mind has come up with until now. There is even a stupid limerick about a donkey, but Dolores doesn't care. Laughs at all the right places, giddy with relief and joy. She can only hear him and the world around her has gotten much smaller and yet it feels bigger somehow. She feels free. 
Dolores doesn't fall in love that day. She is only five years old! Love is still that gross thing that adults always talk about. 
But it's the start of something. It's the start of admiration and respect. It's the start of her actively searching out Mariano's voice when her gift gets to be too much. It's the start of her sitting at her desk, eyes closed, listening to him come up with new poems. 
It's the start of many things.

Not sure if you're still doing HC fic requests, but I'd love to see Mariano and Dolores interacting with their baby/ies for the first time!
i am soooo ready for the encanto series - maybe the chances for a timeskip might be low but i WILL gobble up a flashforward imagination scene of dolores or mariano (or both) thinking about their future kid/s 😭😭 please disney i NEED it
Tumblr media
first stop: imma say that i totally see them mutually agreeing and going through with the five kids thing ahehe
their first born is a beautiful baby girl, in terms of appearance, she takes after dolores <33
gahhhh mariano is so excited the entire time that when julieta handed over his daughter he was at lost for words
he's just,,,, just so,,,, "s-she's so tiny 🥺 just a small lil baby 🥺🥺🥺🥺"
he's so so so soooo soft like [cue me sobbing at how he's so gentle with carrying the lil baby girl, making sure to support her head properly and rocking her softly]
"she takes after her beautiful mother" mariano finally found the words as dolores quietly adored their daughter in her arms
now for dolores, she's so fond of the baby she lovingly created with her husband
dolores would trace her baby's cute cheeks and boop her nose, and mariano would be tickling her stomach - they just love the giggles this little baby lets out
i would like to imagine that at this stage of dolores' life, her powers won't hurt as much anymore - she's still affected by loud fireworks but she can tolerate the sound of a baby crying
overall it was definitely an experience for the both of them, they easily fell in love with the baby (and they fell in much more love with each other too <33)

How about an Encanto Swap AU?
But instead of powers, we swap the canon Madrigal family (Post-Encanto) that grew up with an Abuela/Mama Alma with an AU Madrigal Family where it was Abuelo/Papa Pedro that lives.
It was the whole family that were transported to different worlds, only Alma and Pedro were left to their own worlds. Just imagine Camilo transforming into the 75y/o version of canon Alma and how the AU Pedro will react finding how beautiful her esposa should’ve been if she was alive- and vise versa. 🥹 And how the triplets and the grandkids would enjoy Abuelo’s company, but at the same time, it just isn’t the same without Abuela - and vice versa as well. 😅

mirabels birthday so here’s some headcanons !!!🦋💘
Tumblr media
- she zones out a LOT! whatever she’s working on/ thinking about takes priority in her mind so she accidentally gets so invested she could forget someone’s talking to her! (this doesn’t help in school)
- She’s a try hard on everything! probably stems from her giftless status but she gets frustrated if she can’t be up to standards! she ends up exhausting herself or burning out because she overworks herself!
- social butterfly! she’s a people person and loves talking to both the adults and the kids! she loves validation from the adults and being a role model to the kids!
- never stops talking😭 mirabels a professional yapper🙏 DONT ever ask her to explain what she’s working on because she will not shut up ever!!!
- carries around a sketchbook with her and goes to different parts of the encanto for inspiration! she might just doodle a motif or theme but it’s always something! she uses it later in her projects
- stealing @spooky-spextre-arts hc here but I love this one sm!! after Antonio’s plushie he tells the other kids and she makes a load of plushies for everyone!!
- she painted the mural in family madrigal! I think alma is aware mirabels artsy and would have asked her to do it! since it’s special commission that’s why the husbands are absent! mirabel was just so excited to be asked! Also it fits her art style
- she makes clothes! She designs them AND makes them!!
- she has friends! she’s incredibly social and I refuse to believe there’s only 2 teens in the encanto
- she likes cooking with julieta! even if she’s not the best at it she just appreciates the time with her mother!
- she helps Luisa discover her own style! since Luisa’s outfit is for work mirabel makes her other outfits to wear on her days off
- when she gets a crush she’s super annoying about it! Love language is acts of service!
- makes fun of camilo for being cringe (she is also cringe)
- Antonio is her fave cousin (this ones basically canon)
- a home bird!! she can’t ever picture herself leaving the encanto and this causes some friction between her and isa because isa does leave at some point!
- vents to casita about anything and everything (they are best friends)
- still struggles with opening up to people post movie. she’s not user to all the attention on her and gets overwhelmed often (she would never admit it)
- hates her birthdays (this one’s sad ik) but not only is it the anniversary of her ceremony but the day bruno left and in her mind the beginning of the cracks! she’s getting better but it’s still hard! (Her family spoil her for this exact reason)
- when she’s not playing music in the town she often plays with Felix and Dolores!
