I'm watching every Disney movie in alphabetical order.
Tumblr media
The List:
I took "the" out of all the movie titles so everything wouldn't be toward the end. And I did everything alphabetically rather than by release date because I wanted to get a proper mix of the different eras. I would die trying to watch all the 2000s Disney movies in order, so I feel like the eras being mixed would fuel my motivation to continue my watching spree. I have a few rules for this watching session.
🧸No movies from Pixar, Fox, Marvel, or any other Disney-owned partner
📀No Direct-to-DVD Sequels
🐭No shorts, Fantasia, or anthologies
Aladdin Alice in Wonderland Aristocats Atlantis Bambi Beauty and the Beast Big Hero 6 Black Cauldron Bolt Brother Bear Chicken Little Cinderella Dinosaur Dumbo Emperors New Groove Encanto Fox and the Hound Frozen Frozen 2 Great Mouse Detective Hercules Home on the Range Hunchback of Notre Dame Jungle Book Lady and the Tramp Lilo and Stitch Lion King Little Mermaid Meet the Robinsons Moana Mulan Oliver and Company One Hundred and One Dalmatians Peter Pan Pinocchio Pocahontas Princess and the Frog Ralph Breaks the Internet Raya and the Last Dragon Rescuers Rescuers Down Under Robin Hood Sleeping Beauty Snow White Sword in the stone Tangled Tarzan The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh Treasure Planet Winnie the Pooh Wreck-it-Ralph Zootopia
Extra Fun:
🐇To make things extra fun I have decided to watch the movies with @bhunyee.
🪞A list of references made in Twisted Wonderland
👑I came up with a list of Disney tropes for every movie that I watch:
#1 Racism or the portrayal of non-white racial groups in poor taste #2 Using minority groups, such as LGBTQ, for comedic relief #3 General ickiness or an obvious dirty joke #4 Twist Villain #5 An animal sidekick for a humanoid main character #6 Dead biological parent(s) #7 Has a sequel or spin-off #8 References / Easter Eggs for other Disney movies #9 Has at least 2 bangers #10 Things you wouldn't expect in a kids movie(alcohol, smoking, corpses, etc.) #11 No magic or fantasy #12 Disney "prince/princess" doesn't end the movie as true royalty #13 Well known lost/deleted/cancelled/edited media or hidden background

24 and 25 about your Encanto oc (her name escapes me right now, sorry)
24. What is their outlook on life? What is their philosophy / what do they think in general about living?
Aya is generally a positive sort of person with a strong inner stamina. If she has a motto, it would be "embrace the suck" or "if life throws you lemons, make lemonade."
25. What inspired you to create them / how did you create them? Were they originally a fancharacter? What was their personality / design like when you first made them?
So I originally intended for "Aya la bruja" to be just a name. At the time, I was looking into psychedelics and watched documentaries about ayahuasca; that's where I got the name. When she was just a name, I envisioned an elderly hermit lady in the forest, like a stereotypical witch character like the witch in Brave. I originally intended for her to be an older friend for Julieta from whom she learns about non-magical (but seemingly magical) healing. But this whole new story came to me, and she became a "younger" woman about the same age as the triplets. But she is still (initially) closest to Julieta.
Thanks for the ask, @immabethehero !

There is somethings about majority of encanto fans that really pick me in the wrong way (besides, of course, how much of incest and paedophilia it really has, that by the way really needs to stop).
How they view the miracle and the gifts
Now before you argue listen first: Isabela's problems never were that she can make flowers, her problems were that people always EXPECTED her te made ONLY them and NEVER be SOMETHING or SOMEONE ELSE (flowers/señorita miss perfecta Isabela), also Luisa problem was not that she is strong is that EVERYONE expects her to carry EVERYTHING all time even when it wasn't needed.
Also before you bring Dolores, Pepa or even Bruno to the argument let me explain each of them:
His gift is not seeing bad things, his gift is seeing the Future and sometimes bad things just happen ( the Priest becoming bald ) and others could be avoided if the people actually tried to act upon it ( the fish lady and her fish that lived little habitat , the "non especial's especial " guy that eats a lot of candies and received a gut, even the house breaking could be avoided if the family worked to build a new foundation before ), my point is he seeing the bad outcomes isn't a bad thing because it means people could prepare to it, but people stayed in the path of the bad outcomes because they doesn't wanted the change the behaviour that leads to it (thing about a parent warning their children to not do something or else it could hurt them, but the children do it anyway and end up hurt). So long story short: the problem wasn't Bruno, it wasn't his visions, it wasn't his gift, but the people and their reaction when confronted by that fact that there is ups and downs in live.
Pepa is a emotional person, even without a cloud you can see her stress and emotional turmoil, her gift is extension of that, people often address her gift like negative and Pepa herself hating it, but I think the people doing are making the same mistake that Alma does in the film: thinking that she is expressing herself through the weather is a bad thing, when at the end of the film when see that Pepa having permission and freedom to let it all go is a good thing, the gift are metaphor to real life problems and when the environment is clearly what her problem is that she is react strongly and is strongly emotional in a family that have to keep things together and by being like that people looked at her and saw a problem. The thing about emotions is that the more you bottles the worse it gets, Can Pepa cause a hurricane? Yes, she can, but she won't unless is highly stressful moment (Her wedding day with the "no cloud allowed in the sky" rule and the whole Bruno disappearing, magic dying, house is breaking, gifts fading situations), so is very unlikely to happen otherwise, and less so if she is allowed to express herself more often or be calmed down without it being in a scold way.
Now about Dolores, it was never showed that she doesn't like to hear or know things, the things that are showed to bothers her being overlooked and never being able to talk (like keeping a Big secret, or just being able to talk informations about others rather than talking about herself or her interests *cough*cough* Mariano* cough*) in fact the only pain she show is the proposal dinner where EVERYBODY'S gifts were out of EVERYBODY'S control, even in Antonio's gift's ceremony although she covers her ears she doesn't looks in pain or highly discomfort. Dolores's problem wasn't listening it was lack of freedom in talking and being heard.
Point: stop acting like their gift were the problem, when their gift is part of them (like a talent or a personality characteristic) and when the movie said that they are not the problem, but the generational trauma and how people expected and reacted about those gifts (or lack of gift) are the problem and they need see and accept themselves to fix things.

Encanto characters and their favorite Disney movies.
Alma- Snow White. First off, in canon, she would have been there for the very first Disney movie and it would have been ‘magic’ and amazing and reminded her of her youth. The prince gets the princess, the witch gets defeated, death can be defeated with true loves kiss, they get to go live in a magic castle in the clouds at the end with her true love after she was kicked out of her home by a villain… She would stan tf out of Snowwhite and she doesn’t care how old she is, she always gets teary eyed at the end
Tumblr media
Pepa- Sleeping Beauty. Pepa may love dancing to traditional Colombian music but she also loves the ballet and she recognizes the music which is why she loves this movie so much. Plus it’s one of their classic love stories and she has a huge soft spot for it. Also the spindle scene used to TERRIFY her to the point the first time little five years old Pepa watched it she sobbed and had to hide her face and sleep in Alma’s bed for a week straight and Bruno would freak her tf out just by going ‘touch the spindle… touch it I say!’ And even as an adult she hates that stupid ass creepy line (which definitely isn’t me reliving my own trauma and passing it onto my fave)
Tumblr media
Julieta- Aristocats. I have no idea, don’t even ask. She just looks like she would just like that suave jazzy music (and a movie where a loving devoted mother of three gets to star in her own romance with a guy who doesn’t really fit in? *click click*)
Tumblr media
Bruno- *inserts obligatory Ratatouille movie joke* But honestly? Wall-E. He just loves the idea of that weird oddball adorkable little robot saving the day (plus it sorta fits into his oddball ness that while his sisters like the more classic animation, he likes the newer movies)
Tumblr media
Agustín- Toy Story. Honestly? There’s no deeper meaning then just thinks it’s funny and cute. He is not ashamed to admit he cried at the third one.
Tumblr media
Félix- Also sleeping beauty for no other reason then he gets to see his wife tear up even at fifty years old at the happy ending
Tumblr media
Isabela- When she was little she pretended it was Beauty and the Beast. Now that she gets to be imperfect she can admit she loves Atlantis. A sorta unpopular not really ‘romantic’ movie that’s more action adventure then romantic and adorable
Tumblr media
Dolores- Her favorite really IS Beauty and the Beast. The classic romance, the songs, the girl with the oddball parent no one in town really likes getting the guy in the end, the sheer perfection that is in every single frame and line… She wore both the soundtrack and the tape OUT when she was a little girl and there’s definitely photographic evidence out there of little Dolores in her mothers yellow dress reenacting the big ballroom scene
Tumblr media
Luisa- Lady and the Tramp. Idk why I headcanon Luisa loving dogs and puppies but she does. Also adorable dogs falling in love? What’s more soft and joyful and relaxing than that? 🥺
Camilo- Dramatic theatre kid ass that he is? Is literally anyone doubting that it’s Aladdin? At all? No? Good. (Also he may or may not have based his WDTAB Bruno off his favorite Disney villain just to freak tf out of Mirabal)
Tumblr media
Mirabel- Lilo and Stich. First off, we stan non-typical looking Disney heroines. But also the oddball girl who has no powers but the power of being fucking awesome and cool as shit saving the day? She loves it so much
Tumblr media
Antonio- Lion King. Mainly for the animals but also Pepa and Félix are about to throw their phones because of how much they have to play ‘can you feel the love tonight’ whenever they’re in the car with him. He may or may not have refused to stop hugging Félix for a good hour after *THAT* scene

Whenever I click the link I can't see the mastermind of the rules it just shows me the homepage D:
That's strange. It works for me and for other people I know^^' I'll put everything here for you :)
!RULES AND MASTERLIST!
RULES:
- Please specify whether you want a Romantic or Platonic and Yandere or Non-Yandere character in your request.
- Be sure to always specify the gender of the reader and sexuality. If not, I will write a gender-neutral reader and decide on the sexuality myself based on the request.
- If you want multiple characters being with the reader, please use these words to describe better what you mean in the request: Polyamory, if you want the characters sharing to also be romantic with each other. And use the word: Sharing, if you want the characters participating in the relationship to only be romantic with the reader and not also with each other. (If you don’t understand my explanation, type below or message me and I’ll use an example to explain it better for you :))
- This also applies to platonic relationships. You’ll only have to tell me it’s platonic and use either the word: Polyamory, to indicate that the 2 characters are together but not including the reader. Or use the word: Sharing if the whole relationship is strictly platonic and no one is romantic with each other. (If you don’t understand my explanation, type below or message me and I’ll use an example to explain it better for you :))
- I don’t mind writing NSFW/Smut.
- No incest. Relationship’s between family members whether related or not will always be platonic when it comes to the reader or ships.
- I’m okay with writing ships, but only if I agree with them. I don’t think I would be able to write for a ship I don’t like or care for. Sorry^^’
- Character limit is 4 (But if you want to for example request a group of characters like the Ninjago gang in one, then I'll make an exception to those).
- I do not write for oc's, so when requesting please make sure you don't accidenlty end up requesting for an oc. It's fine if you add some backstory or characteristics to the reader if it's for the sake of a request. But if your request looks something like this: "I'd like to request x with reader who's name is Megan, has long blonde hair and blue eyes and hates the color pink and horse rides etc." Then I'm sorry but at this point you're describing an oc and I won't do the request for you if that's the case, sorry.

Tiles on the Roof
An Encanto Fanfic
Prompts 37-48
“Outside the House”
First | Previous | Next
37. Ordenar
(v) sort through, collect, ordain (religious); masculine singular past participle ordenado
Padre Juan Flores doesn’t mind being the priest in San Ambrosio. In terms of parishes, it’s one of the more easygoing ones for the most part.
Confessional gets a bit weird, though.
“So I impersonated a priest again and I’m not one hundred percent certain that’s a sin but it might be. Papá and Abuela don’t like it, I know that. I got your hairline right this time, though.”
“I have a weird urge to slack off and I hate it. What if Señora Ozma needs me to reroute the river again?”
“Some of the most terrible gossip from around town has reached my ears. I don’t know whether to feel guilty or to warn you about what’s likely coming your way or both.”
Mind you, his own prayers have been a bit strange in recent decades. Gathering his thoughts has never been harder than it was in the first few years.
Lord, a little guidance on the teenage girl in the marketplace who is doing miracle healing? I literally saw someone get their finger reattached this afternoon. Do I need to write to someone in Rome about whether it qualifies her for sainthood?
Lord, I prayed to you for a little rain for my flowers and one of the Madrigal triplets stormed by in a huff and suddenly I was in the middle of a thunderstorm. Are you trying to tell me something or was that just an unhappy coincidence?
Lord, we’re quite clear on the non-efficacy of pagan magic, right? And of course pride is a deadly sin but is there any way you could let me know exactly how clearly pagan magic is false and thus diminish my worries about going completely bald within the next three weeks please??
At least he’s doing better than poor old Padre Antonio Juarez in Macondo. God, the guy’s a gibbering wreck in some of his letters.
38. Banda
(nf) group of musicians, band, sash
They’re new in town. They’ve been there long enough for a few things to sink in, like how “We Don’t Talk About Bruno”, but a lot of it still is new to them.
Gustavo, Carmen, and Tomas are musicians at heart and by trade. Of course they hear the song, and if it’s strange then, well, isn’t this exactly the right place for it? The young lady has a talent—she’s just being modest. Take an accordion, Señorita Madrigal, tell us what we already know! You’ve earned it!
Oddly, she still seems too shy to talk about her gift.
(She does give them the accordion back, mind you, even though she plays it well.)
39. Quejarse
(v) complain, grumble, quarrel; masculine adverbial present participle quejando
Osvaldo is more than a little frustrated by the growth of his belly. Not that he’s vain, you understand, it’s just...well, Bruno Madrigal doesn’t have the best bedside manner in the world.
“I mean, you will grow a gut, that’s, you know, that’s here in the sand, it’s just that, well, think about it like this, you’re gonna enjoy a lot of good food!”
...look, just because he does, doesn’t mean he wants to know that he’ll have to face the consequences, alright?
(The Family Velázquez have given San Ambrosio some of its best shoemakers, but they’re as bad as the Quinteros when it comes to pettiness.)
40. Niñero
(nm) babysitter
It's not exactly like Mariano thought this was a good way to get close to the Madrigals. He's a fifteen-year-old boy, sure, and has had more than a passing interest in girls for a while, but, you know, he's also a fifteen-year-old-boy and babysitting is the last thing on his mind. But Mamá wanted him to give it a try.
"All so busy, the Madrigals," she told him, trying to tidy him up. "And what with poor Mirabel having no gift and her father trying to do what he can around the village, they really do need some help. Besides, it will help smooth things over when it comes time to marry Isabela."
Mariano, youngest of his siblings and generally happier playing the lovelorn fool than upsetting his mamá, shrugged and went along with it.
Let the record state that he was not prepared for this.
Mirabel’s terribly high level of destructibility and propensity for accidents are matched only by her compete disregard for her own safety. At six years old she's already quite precocious (precoz), which Mariano's book Mil palabras que un poeta debe saber defines as "having developed certain abilities or elements more quickly than is usual for one's age" and which Mariano has privately defined as "making up for the natural magic of the Madrigals by trying to do everything at once". Honestly, as a temporary carer he's kind of wasted.
As a big brother figure to Mirabel and occasionally Camilo, though, he's not had quite this much fun in years. And it's not even about impressing The Fair Isabela anymore, he just…likes these kids.
(Mostly. Except when they play that twin trick. That's just being deliberately unfair.
"No, I'm the real Mirabel! Can't you tell?"
"Hmm, that depends. I think that your glasses are just the wrong shade of green, your hair microscopically less bouncy, and you don't walk quite right. You kind of shuffle around instead of dancing."
"No, no, I'm really me! Mister Mariano, you're not being fair."
"I wonder…what did you tell me about Luisa and the bookshelf the other day?"
"I don't remember! What did I say? Anyway, how do I know you're not Camilo pretending to be Mister Mariano? Don’t you trust me?"
"Oh, no, not the wobbly lip, you’re not allowed to be cuter than me...okay, okay, let's all take a deep breath and all twirl back into our proper forms in three…two…onnnnnnnnnnnnne—oh. Alright, I'm sorry, Mirabel. You win. It's getting harder to tell when you act so much like Camilo, you’ve gotten really good at imitating his walk."
"I have?" Shoomp. "Aw, nuts. You nearly got me."
"…I…"
"Mira, Mira, get in here, I got Mister Mariano to make the face again!"
“Yay, we win!”
This calls for an impromptu tickle fight.
“Scoundrels and tricksters! Betrayed by my two best amiguitos! What next?”)
Camilo becomes cooler and more distant as the years go by, but Mirabel he's always been friends with even though she finds his well-crafted “galán distinguido” act to be kind of dumb. She doesn’t even make fun of Mariano for wanting to be a poet—neither do Dolores and Luisa, but they’re about the only ones among his (rough) age-mates who don’t and Dolores is good at keeping secrets (including her own) while Luisa literally doesn’t have time to waste commenting. He’s pretty sure even Isabela doesn’t like his work, although she never gives him a concrete answer one way or the other. The poets talk about love as a time of great passion, but they never say anything about not having small talk.
(Maybe it’s kind of expected that you shouldn’t do it, that it diminishes the romance and then the marriage somehow. His mother and father only really discuss business together, after all, not really anything emotional. And their romance is still talked about in the village. Maybe Isabela is just practicing for that.)
41. Negativas
(adj) negative
“Dios mío, what happened to your face?” wails Rosenda, who has no indoor voice.
“Ay, hermana, I just got kicked,” protests Marta, who has no survival instinct.
“By a cow?”
“...yes?”
“In the head?”
“So I forgot to tie the legs down, so what? I do feel a little...strange, though...”
“Ayy, first my fish and now my sister! A life of eternal loneliness awaits me!”
“Let’s just get you to Señora Madrigal,” says Renata, who has no lack of patience with her older sisters. (And also no qualms about taking out her frustrations on those who cross her, but she at least is working on that.)
42. Curandero
(nm) shaman, witch doctor, quack (medicine), healer
"Taita is a more respectable term, Señora Madrigal," he says mildly. "But no matter. How might I help you?"
Alma Madrigal doesn't look too happy to see him, and neither does her son. But they're both still here, outside his hut on the very edge of the encanto. They are the keepers of the Miracle; he's just set up shop in a particularly potent locale.
His profession, if you may call it that, is to keep balance in the cosmos—or at least a specific part of it. And for that, you need to keep your eyes and ears open—inner eyes and inner ears as well.
Alma Madrigal explains. She is still new to magic, and her sixteen-year-old son has the most uncontrollable magic of all. His oldest sister has complete control over her gift, the middle sister has hers active all the time. (Which explains a lot about the weather in this valley, to be honest.) But Bruno's gift is…erratic. He gets tunnel vision, of a sort, randomly spouting nonsense that somehow comes true. Sometimes it comes true the next day. Once it took over ten years. And it…hurts him, when he uses it. If the gift is to be used properly for the encanto, says Señora Madrigal, then there has to be a way to make it better.
He ponders this.
"You realize what you are actually asking me, Señora Madrigal," he says at last. "I know of your family. I know you know what a taita—an originario—really is. Why would I take on an outsider, from a veritable palace down in the town, and teach him to become a leader just out of nowhere?"
“I am asking you to help my son,” says the woman, a little sharply.
“And I am saying that I have no reason to accept your request. I have other concerns at the moment. Your family’s miracle is...different. Not our magic. I see no reason to give your son a place as an apprentice simply because—”
"You will."
He curses. (He probably shouldn’t but seriously, what the—)
Bruno Madrigal's eyes are lit up, bright glowing green in place of warm worried brown. He looks like he's in agony, like there's too much noise. His voice, when it comes through, sounds...well, “dopplered” isn’t a very common term yet, not in the middle of the rainforest, but it sounds like his voice is coiling back in on itself. Like someone else’s voice is trying to force its way out of his lungs at the same time as Bruno’s.
"You'll tell me and Mamá to leave, and then you'll have time to think, and then we'll meet and a log will roll down the road and nearly trip us up and you'll say yes and I'll learn how to work with the sands and I'll hate it but it has to be done because it keeps getting worse and worse and when I have to leave my family forever I'll remember this moment and—"
“Enough.”
Bruno falters. His breathing becomes easier.
He shouldn’t have Spoken, shouldn’t have cut the boy off, but this...this is new.
“Señora Madrigal,” he manages, a little breathless himself. “I need time to...consider my options here.” He manages to stop himself from saying “think it over”.
She nods, wryly, supporting her collapsed son as gently as she can. “Take all the time you need, Señor Originario. You know where to find us. We live in the veritable palace down in the town.”
He watches them leave.
He is not, as a general rule, given to introspection about the nature of magic. The land works well enough on its own without people mucking about with powers they shouldn’t be dealing with.
But he has to wonder, just a little, what kind of magic did strike the Family Madrigal sixteen years ago, and how the...heck...the land literally changed around them. It could be...intriguing.
Besides...it might be an opportunity to actually bring his people back in line. San Ambrosio is a puebla colonial, yes, but they know about encantos. Giving them a taita, mestizo though he may be, would not be the worst thing in the world, surely.
(He nearly trips over the log. He doesn’t.)
43. Ansia
(nf) craving, yearning; anxiety, apprehension
Elisenda Ozma is old enough to remember San Cristóbal. She remembers the town much better than she does San Ambrosio, to tell you the truth. And maybe she wouldn’t indulge in such trivial things as asking Luisa to reroute the river if it ever proved a problem for her, but it doesn’t, and she enjoys hearing the waters pass near her house on a Sunday like it did in her old home, as she sits in her chair and reminisces.
(“She’s a cat,” sighs Julieta to Agustín. It’s become a code word of sorts for them, a shorthand for something Julieta, for all her powers, just can’t heal. “It’s not like she’s forgetting, she remembers things well, it’s just that I can’t convince her that it’s something that needs fixing.”
Agustín, who is still wincing a little from a rapidly-recovered broken leg and thus a tad distracted, does his best to focus on his wife’s expression through his glasses and rearranges his face accordingly. “You’re doing all you can, mi amor. And she’s not hurting anyone per se. I’m just a little worried that Luisa’s taking on too much for her. She keeps wanting to handle everyone’s problems on her own.”
“She doesn’t want to be a burden,” says his wife, and smiles softly. “She takes after her father that way.”
“And in no way could she ever be one. Just like her mother.”
“Get a room, you two!” calls a rather pregnant Pepa somewhat hypocritically as she walks past.
“We have one. It’s the kitchen.”
“Bleh.”
“If you’re not hungry, then by all means—”
“Is that arroz con pollo?”
“It might be.”
“Gimme.”)
44. Adicto
(nm) addict
When he's older, Juancho will shrug and grin and say, "Eh, with all the excitement going on around town, how else was I supposed to focus on everything at once?"
And Alejandra will nod in sympathy. "There was a jungle in a bedroom and miracles happening literally every day, focus is important."
"You two are a little obsessed, you know that?" Cecilia will say, rolling her eyes fondly.
"Oh, like you weren't right there with us all the way."
"And also like I haven't noticed you stealing my coffee."
"That is hearsay and slander and you can't prove anything."
The truth is a little more complicated than that.
Because although he is trying to focus, he's also, just a little bit, trying to understand the rush they must feel. Working miracles…that must be the greatest feeling in the world. He can never capture that himself, but a good cup of café helps him get close, surely? And he can give it up whenever he wants.
Juancho likes to think super-speed would have been a good gift.
(Heck, he's pretty sure he managed it once. It's a little blurry, though, wrapped around a song.)
45. Insistente
(adj) insistent
She answers to the name Diana. Her actual name is a lot more complicated than that. Her people, and her philosophical school, go in for deep cogitation and that includes long and subliminally-consequential names. But Diana is as good a collection of syllables as any.
Diana is not entirely sure why the Lady bears her on her back when she is more than capable of walking on her own. It’s a little frustrating sometimes, really. She occasionally protests vociferously and would maybe bite if she weren’t a grown adult with a reputation to uphold, but the Lady’s mind is filled with Focus and Strength and Pressure. Rather like a child. (For one of her kind, she probably is one.) She wants to be like them. She understands the Onus of Aptitude—the fundamental requirement of being steadfast in one’s duty, once one has deemed said duty worthy of one’s time. But she is surprisingly isolated, as though her work is the only thing important in life, and not the choice thereof. (Diana’s thesis on the Didacticism of Informed Obligation in the Context of Recompense versus Castigation was very well received.)
Diana tries to communicate, as do her colleagues (her coworker who answers to Abram has for some time now been trying to interest her in the Metaphysics of Non-Agricultural Floral Classification, a highly stimulating and eminently practical area of research), but the Lady’s mind is as stubborn as theirs. Likely she could hear them if she just twitched a teeny tiny bit, but she won’t let herself be distracted. The poor creature is obviously suffering from a severe psychological imbalance caused by an excess of Hypertrophied Physio-Sensibility. The only known cure is patience.
Fortunately, patience is something that Donkeys have quite a lot of.

(nf) guilt, remorse
“Who’s that?”
“Hmm?” Bruno’s eyes widen, and he grabs the portrait. “Uhhh, nobody. Just someone I used to know.”
“Oh,” says four-year-old Mirabel. “A friend?”
“...yeah. Yeah, you could say that.”
There was one person beyond the family who didn’t assume the worst of Bruno Madrigal’s prophecies, not too long ago.
And the fact that they didn’t is a large part of why he does.
47. Desgraciado
(nm) wretch, unfortunate person
The one time Agustín’s cousin Claudio comes to visit, it’s...well.
“How in the heck did he set a house on fire with a feather?” complains Pepa.
“En seriamente, Agustín,” says Abuela, genuinely shocked. “How did your cousin get even worse luck than you?”
Agustín snorts. “Didi? He didn’t. He just got the family curse and decided not to do anything about it. Just go with the flow. Or, you know, drown in it.”
“I’m right here, primito.”
“What curse?” asks a seven-year-old Isabela curiously. “Your old familia had magic too?”
Agustín smiles at his daughter. “Ah, it’s going to sound stupid, but...my family always believed there was some sort of curse on the male members of the Valderrama bloodline that was put on them by a witch back in Castile. A bad luck curse. You know, a ‘the first shall be tied to a cactus and the last shall be eaten by bees’ kind of curse. But don’t worry! It doesn’t pass down through the female line. You’re a Madrigal, mi flor. You’re safe.”
Isabela doesn’t look completely convinced. Nor, for that matter, does Abuela.
“Maybe it’ll just skip a generation,” suggests Claudio, who thanks to Julieta’s food is looking better than he has in years. “Or you’ll end up with a very accident-prone daughter.”
“Cállate, Didi.”
48. Culpable
(nm) culprit, culpable person
“But you heard,” he mumbles.
Dolores nods, eyes solemn.
(Maybe she’s alone. Maybe she isn’t.)
Julián Perez is not the only man—the only person—in San Ambrosio who would ultimately prefer to keep some things secret from others. But he can’t, just like they can’t. The only people who know may be himself and Dolores Eladia Castillo Madrigal, but her presence is a given.
And his actions may well not be forgiven.
And she’s protected by a mother who could blast you on sight, a brother who can shape-shift into monsters if he wants to, a cousin with super-strength and near-invulnerability, and a father who, to be fair, could break your nose with one swing. If she’s here, they almost certainly know where she is.
“...do we leave?” he asks. “Is that the price to pay?”
Dolores shakes her head. “I can’t decide that,” she says. “You should have come to us for help. You can try Padre Flores, or Abuela.” Her expression hardens. “But you know that I’ll know what you tell them. And you will return what you took.”
There are rumours that the missing Tío, Bruno Madrigal, never left at all—that he was murdered, and that his ghost still haunts the Casa Madrigal, speaking prophecies of the future.
Do Dolores’ eyes glint a little green in the light?
Julián nods. It’s the safest bet.
There are no governors or mayors or police in San Ambrosio. No political armies or criminal gangs.
Even if they could find their way into the encanto, they wouldn’t dare intrude on the Madrigals’ territory.

Ok so yesterday I got this vague idea for a toh au then my adhd brain got custody of it and it. Spiraled out of control I'll just say. So I'm gonna infodump abt it below the cut. Sorry in advance lmao (it's really long i'm so sorry mutuals)
So I originally got this idea because I watched Encanto recently (loved it btw) and I thought "oh haha mirabel and hunter are kinda similar, since they're both non-magical people surrounded by people with powers" which then led to me thinking "hey what if instead of witches in the BI being born with magic they were given powers by the titan when they reach a certain age" and then I thought about it more and it became this beast so. Here we are lmao. I'm gonna try to explain it the best I can but sorry if it makes no sense lol
So to start I'm just gonna provide the full backstory/explanation for what's goin on in this au. So first off, like I said before, witches in the BI aren't born with magic, but are gifted it by the Titan when they're about 6 years old. For most of the BI's history, witches were given every type of magic, but in the present witches only receive one type of magic, aka the precursor to the covens. This is because (and bear with me I'm just making shit up here) the Savage Ages were basically akin to the immediate aftermath of the French Revolution, so the government was collapsed and everyone was killing each other. In response, the Titan stopped giving witches magic, which caused everyone to freak the hell out and desperately looking for a way to appease the Titan so that magic wouldn't eventually die out completely. Eventually, Belos gains enough of a following to become the emperor and basically reforms BI society as a whole, which leads to the Titan giving witches magic again. Except this time, instead of receiving all types of magic, every witch only receives the ability to perform one type of magic, which leads to the formation of the covens. So in this universe the covens don't restrict magic necessarily, they just sort people into groups based on what powers they have. Also I wanna state here that Belos is NOT a good person in this au, he's just marginally less awful than canon Belos, but he's still a dictator/abusive asshole to his employees.
So anyway, from there a tradition is formed where every year every child of the appropriate age participates in a huge ceremony/ritual where they're given their magic. So for a few decades, everything goes pretty smoothly, until two things happen: one, some witches start receiving two types of magic, and two, Eda receives every type of magic in her ceremony, which I'll talk about in more detail below.
So when it's Eda's turn at the ceremony for that year, she becomes the first person since the Savage Ages to receive every type of magic. Because of this, Belos obviously wants her in his coven, so she begins training with the Emperor's Coven immediately after her ceremony, and later uses her position to get Lilith special training as well, since being in the coven is Lilith's dream and all. Also probably shoulda mentioned that since Lilith only has one kind of magic like everyone else, this contributes to their mom's unintentional favoritism of Eda and fuels Lilith's jealousy even more. Eda never gets cursed, but their relationship becomes more strained as they get older, with Lilith working harder and harder and Eda still surpassing her every time.
Eventually, Eda decides that the government is fumb and she doesn't want to be a cop, so she runs from the coven and becomes the Owl Lady like in canon. Lilith stays and eventually becomes the head of the coven like in canon, and makes it her mission to capture Eda so she can join the coven and "stop wasting her gift."
That's all ove really got for Eda rn so now let's talk about Hunter babey! So Hunter in this au is just some random orphan lmao, and during his ceremony, he becomes the only person since the Savage Ages to not receive any magic whatsoever. Fun times:). So Belos notices this and thinks "damn that's weird, I should take this kid in and see what the Titan has planned for him", so Hunter becomes the Golden Guard like canon, but is treated more like an experiment by Belos than anything else, so their relationship is a lil more complicated.
Anyway that's the basic idea lmao, I doubt anyone will see/care about this but I'm gonna tag everything anyway bc I am at my core an attention seeker tbh

Encanto Engines AU: Mirabel and the Magic Rail
Hello, thought I share some of my ideas 💡 of a Encanto/ sentiment vehicles think Ttte, I’m not sure if those characters would appear but more of a expy versions of them. Basically there are many thoughts on how this would act:
1. Mirabel gets a gift that results in her making all vehicles like trains, locomotives, buses, cars, boats/ships come to life, wether it be like Casita or non faceless plus her connection with the mystical engine of a expy Lady who she protects and takes care alongside other magical engines like entities (Proteus, Stepney, a diesel oc called Chamomile who’s gothic, deadpan  and acts as a guide to lost souls, both vehicle and human) while at the same time helping vehicles who are at risk at becoming scarp in the “Mainland” outside at the Encanto , the versions of Sodor, which now has rails and is considered to be a safe haven rumors with Mirabel being like a savior towards the vehicles who tries her utter hardest to give them rights and protect them to giving them a good life
2. The Madrigals are conductors think like Mr.conductor and Mirabel is still given the gift of having Lady as her chosen heir with everything coming to life but she is also the guardian and protector of the Gold Dust as it turns out that’s keeps them alive instead of Mirabel bringing them to life as it’s Lady and her fellow entities who she then protects despite the D10 expy destroying them and Lady being forced to flee into the Encanto Mountains to recover with only Mirabel and Antonio be allowed there as everyone else would get lost forever but are still trying to help give non faceless vehicles a better life while restoring the gods (Antonio ends up saving Stepney as it;s his first time out of the Encanto and ends up becoming quite fond of him, plus realizing how horrible their lives are outside and wanting to help Mirabel with her outings
3. Third would be that once having a gift they would then be connected to a vechile with Antonio being connected to a expy Rusty the little Diesel engine and gets a lot of distrust from the steamies but all in all they become a big railway family that even if Mirabel didn’t;t receive a gift since the sentinel machines were already alive in the first place and the family tries to give them better lives and keep adopting them, plus the part where they can turn into humanoid like beings like those ttte humanizations with grey skin, wheels, being more strong but still non human like, plus they are given the golden whistles at the age of 5 to have gold dust like the second option
Each Family member with a machine, whether alive or not: maybe I’ll do another post on which engine would fit which
Isabela: 
Tumblr media
A Fairy Queen which is in the East Indian Railway Nr. 22,[1] is a steam locomotive built in 1855, restored by Loco Works Perambur, Chennai in 1997, would fit as it is technically one of the most lovely locomotives and is a luxury railway with many decorative designs akin to Isabela’s dress before and after
There would be versions of the Skarloey, Ardesdale, Culdee railways as the Encanto becomes bigger and installed with railway with Mirabel having the most knowledge as she would be an avid railway enthusiast  and most of the them being large engines that identify as feminine while many having trucks being masculines and coaches and that the engines will say something in other people’s or machines defense or fall in love with a Edward/Boco expy being married as trains rules don’t apply to human things and because not of them are straight and they can’t have children as they’re sterile but they can adopt many younger vehicles  or many trains ocs,
 i’m not sure if Lady expy would be with Bruno and Mirabel with a Duncan expy who absolutely love his tall gf and would die for her via attacking anyone with his wheels, Lady being calm and understanding around Bruno as she understands the feeling of not being useful as she feels protectiveness as her magic constantly brings machines to life and magical powers that drained her so much that it felt her weak during the d10 attack since she’s felt the need to help others with her being rare and that if they can turn into humanoid like, Lady would state that he looks lovely and compliments everyone, plus the vehicles would be helping with many things, if they needs someone to listen to or they want advice or more personal questions with Camilo with their gender identity alongside their family (I hc them as genderfluid) Antonio questioning if boys can marry each other as he has a crush on his new best friend Ivo hugh/Luke expy as he gets older but due to him being a machine wonders if that relationship is forbidden or how he cried that Stepney would retire and be scrapped
Their relationship: Lady would be Pansexual , Bruno be Demi ace and Lady would be like “a”My 3.5000 children even though some that they are older than me, have seen you as a father-uncle honorary figure and have adopted you 🥰

hello! I was wondering if you've seen either Luca or Encanto? The former because it's probably one of my favorite movies ever and you're one of my fave writers ever and the latter because the family dynamics in Encanto definitely gave me some Beifong dramalama vibes. If you have, what did you think? Did you have a favorite character? If not though, I definitely do recommend them!
I have seen them both!
There are probably spoilers here, so move on if you don't want them. I'd tag them but what's the point, RIGHT IOS?
I loved Luca deeply. It was such a beautiful little slice of life, tender and heartfelt. I miss that in movies! Not everything has to be Sturm und Drang, thanks very much. From the bare feet of the boys to the sunny Italian coast to the dreamed of moped, I fell right into the entire world created by the film. I very much loved Alberto and Massimo's relationship as well. I've watched it what, three times now? I find it even more delightful with each re-watch.
I also really enjoyed Encanto - you can't go wrong with Lin-Manuel Miranda who really is a brilliant lyricist - and it was so marvelous to see a film that focused on family and culture the way it did. I especially loved the entire concept of Casita - she really was her own character, and I am a sucker for anthropomorphic houses in any form.
Family dramalama is something I enjoy writing. The Beifongs aren't my family (unless Kuvira was standing in for my mother, which sounds ominous and it is, believe me) but there are certainly parallels with the Beifongs and the Madrigals in terms of matriarchs and infighting and the non-gifted/non-bending members of the family but also lots of love. And also that idea that the entire family lives all on top of each other. We've lost a lot of that nowadays in the white, western world - kids leave home as soon as possible and settle far away - and I think it's a pity. I absolutely loved that about Encanto.
In terms of favorite characters? I loved Abuela. I did. This is a lady who was widowed with triplets - infant triplets! - who were all magical when she very much isn't. She settles with these infant triplets into a magical house alone and by sheer strength of will manages to rebuild not only her own little family but a village out of terrified, traumatized refugees. Ya'll know I do love me a good matriarch. I get that she's supposed to be the villain (although I would argue, pretty convincingly, that the soldiers who murdered her husband and who would murder her, her children, and the rest of the refugees if given half a chance are the actual antagonists of the movie, and I am pretty sure most Colombians would agree with me) but she's a woman doing her best and she's doing it from a place of love. She just got caught up in all of it and wasn't able to step back away from it and let some of it go.
(Although as the mother of twins I have to say, her standing there easily hauling around triplet infants in her arms like they are three loaves of bread is...just way out there. I laughed out loud at that one. Not happening. Not happening at all. Why wasn't she slinging those babies? But never mind me.)
