Headcanon that Coco didn't actually know her father's name.
She was three or four when he left. As far as she was concerned, his name was Papá.
She remembered her mother singing and dancing with him, but she had no memories of Imelda actually calling Héctor by name.
And afterwards, Imelda got rid of anything that belonged to him, anything that might bear his name. She never mentioned his name again. Oscar and Felipe didn't either.
Coco had the picture, so she knew what he looked like, but not his name. Even the letters - they were all addressed to Coco, and signed "Papá." Yes, there were many parts that were for Imelda - Imelda was the one who read them to Coco, since she presumably couldn't read much more than her name - but they were for Coco, which was why she had them when Imelda began her purge.
Even if Coco had wanted to try to find out more about her father after her mother died, she couldn't. She wouldn't get very far without a name.
She spent the rest of her life clinging to a fading memory of a kind man with dark eyes and a guitar. She would take out his picture and look at it. She was glad she only had daughters, because if she'd had a son she would have been conflicted about whether to want to give her father's name as a middle name, and she didn't know it.
Miguel finally discovered his great-great-grandfather's name - well, in a believable way that he could tell everyone else, anyway - after going to the town hall and digging through old records for hours and finally discovering a marriage license for Héctor and Imelda Rivera.
Depending on when Coco died, though, she may not have been alive to see this.
Depending on whether Miguel told his great-grandmother about his adventure in the Land of the Dead, she may or may not have died still not knowing her father's name. Not until a weeping young man embraces her in the Department of Family Reunions, and, crying herself, she melts into his embrace, hugging him back, and she hears her mother's voice saying softly, "Ay, Héctor, Coco."

So like during the 21 years after Héctor disappeared and Ernesto became a big star, did it never occur to Imelda to wonder why all the sudden Ernesto was performing solo? If Ernesto is this hugely famous musician singing Héctor’s old songs, why isn’t Héctor singing them too? Was she so completely anti-music at that point that she never even noticed that Ernesto was performing alone and Héctor had apparently just yeeted off the face of the earth? Like I get it she was majorly hurt by what she thought was Héctor ditching her but all I’m saying is if I’m Imelda and I see Ernesto rising to fame alone after my husband left with him, some alarm bells are gonna start ringing in my head

Can we talk about this for a minute????
The way Hector motions to the family to get behind him and puts his hand out to protect them is *chef's kiss*. He's already taking the role of Patriarch of the family. 🥹
Also, how he's at the front, being the leader and ready to jump in if De La Cruz lays a finger on Imelda. 🥺💜
The twins looking out for each other is everything to me. I don't know which one is which, but one of them pulling the other back broke me. It was so sweet! 😭😭😭
This gif is everything to me. It shows how much the family loves each other and how they look out for one another. 🧡

Hola :) Today it´s my photomontage of my favorite couple. Imelda and Hector went to professional to have a photo. This is before they had Coco. Let´s imagine it was taken in 1917. So that would mean that Imelda may be possibly at beginning of pregnancy with Coco, maybe she did not even know at that moment, because it was too early in her pregnancy. Anyway, I made the colored version and the “old effect” photo was done by app. Have a nice day:)

the level of lack of understanding of imelda's character really gets me
people act like she banned music just to be a bitch and it's like, no! she was heavily traumatised.
it's not like she really hated music - she hated what music represents, that her husband abandoned her and their daughter.
like people brush over this so much because héctor was actually murdered but imelda didn't know that! it's called dramatic irony!
imelda rivera was abandoned by her husband (again, no knowledge of his death because ernesto wasn't interested in self-sabotage) and became a single mother in 1920s mexico (objectively true). like shit wasn't easy for her and I'm tired of people portraying her as a petty bitch or 'as worse as ernesto'.
careful. your misogyny/racism is showing.
what else could imelda have done? going after ernesto would have 1) not been viable (single parent of a young kid) and 2) very fucking dangerous (murderer and whatnot).
I'm sure she felt guilt after learning the truth, but the whole tragedy for héctor and imelda for me is that they were simultaneously both and neither at fault. héctor had a really shitty best friend and a really shitty after life and imelda felt deeply betrayed.
anyway. stop placing unrealistic expectations on imelda rivera thanks
I get when you see her through the lens of miguel it can be 'easy' to see her as a music hating bitch but she's a deeply traumatised woman with unhealthy coping mechanism who like. learned her lesson and apologised to miguel in a span of the night after almost a century of trauma. she banned music as a surviving mechanism not to spite her (unbeknownst) murdered husband or her music-loving great-great-grandson. she's not omniscient.
anyway imelda rivera rights.

Buenos días Héctor.
My question is, has a person ever been confused thinking that Imelda is your mother, due to the fact that she is much older than you?
Hector: "Oh, You see… It's very hard for such a thing to happen in the land of the dead! I mean, there are so many people who tragically lose their lives earlier than expected… So it's not uncommon to see couples who appear very different in age! In short, it's normal here, usually we tend to interact without assuming what the family ties are between the members of a specific family, so if you need to know, you always ask..."
"...BUT… It wasn't our case! Yep… Unfortunately it happened in a way! Our situation was very particular, Imelda has a large clientele and many people know her and consequently know all about our family… I had the "newcomer" period within the "shoe making" family-business and well…
They all thought I was the nephew at first!"
-
Imelda: "Hector, I'll take care of the clients! Please, place these in the shelf of the shoes to restore and polish!"
Hector: "Third shelf on the right! I got it! Consider it done!"
Customer: "Poor dear! The boy is so young! Is he your nephew right?"
Imelda: "Ehmmm... No, actually, he's my husband... We haven't been together for a long time but......"
Customer: "Oh, Wait... What? Is that the man who abandoned you with a little girl to raise?!?!" 😠
Imelda: "........ Si... I mean NO! It's a long story! Many things have changed now!" 😳
-
Hector: "Let's just say it was an embarrassing time!" 😅
-
My headcanon is that it must not have been easy for Hector in the early days! Some customers, especially the ladies friends of Imelda, were confused by this reconciliation...! 😅

During La Llorona, when Ernesto grabbed Imelda and forced her to dance, I wish that the scene had momentarily flashed to Héctor to see what his reaction was. Although I suppose the reason they didn't is because the look on his face would have frightened the small children in the audience. ;)

Look of love ♥️
I don't know how long I've been wanting to do this! And I am sooo in love with this flesh overlay thing 😍 and man, those gazes they give each other *swoon*
Also, no, I will not draw alive Héctor with the gold-tooth! I am not a fan of it with the "alive"-version 😶 I've tried it out and no ... just no 😅
Guys, I wish I could draw faster! I have so much more to do still!
