Encantober Day 21: Age

She was twenty-five years old. One day, she had been married to the love of her life; eagerly awaiting the arrival of their little blessing, which turned out to be little blessings. The next, she was widowed and alone with three babies, far away from the home where she had grown up. How she was supposed to do this alone, she couldn’t say. It would have been hard enough raising triplets with help. Every day, she passed by the portrait of Pedro that had somehow been hanging up in the house as soon as it rose out of the ground, running her hand along the frame lovingly. Whenever she did that, the stairs did a tap dance in response. She had a sneaking suspicion that the house and Pedro were connected, but she shook it off, figuring she was just sleep deprived. Taking care of three babies was hard, but to see them growing every day, discovering the world around them…

He should have been here for this.

___

She was twenty-six years old. Today was her birthday. The first one since…well. Since they had moved to their encanto. She didn’t feel up to celebrating, but the townspeople had graciously dropped off some food and a cake they had made for her. Chocolate, her favorite. Pedro’s favorite too. He’d had such a sweet tooth. Alma could barely finish any sweets she had without him trying to steal them from her. Still, she thought sadly, she would give him this entire cake just to have him back again. She would give anything.

He should have been here for this.

___

She was twenty-six years old. The triplets were turning one. They had grown so much! Despite being the same age, they were so different. Pepa was the easiest to tell apart. She was fair and had tufts of red hair sticking out all over her head. Out of the three, she’d been the first to talk, and she cried the loudest. If you dared ignore her, she’d scream like la Llorona. Bruno had started walking first, but he was by far the quietest. Alma had to keep a special eye on him to keep him from getting hurt. Julieta had beautiful big brown eyes and dark brown curls. She’d burbled happily before she could talk and kept reaching out her chubby little hands towards others. Oh, the townspeople adored them! The celebration they gave to the three miracle babies of the encanto was unforgettable. But there was one part she wished she could forget.

He should have been here for this.

___

She was thirty years old. Somehow, she had made it through the triplets’ infancy and toddlerhood. Surely it would be easier from here on out. If anything, all four of them were sleeping through the night, even Pepa, who’d had a few rough months. Of course, hope was futile; a lesson she should have learned five years prior. On the triplets’ fifth birthday, she awoke to three brand new doors, shimmering mysteriously in the hallway. When she went to inspect them, she saw that each doorknob had a different letter carved into it- the triplets’ initials.

By this point, the children had woken up and followed her to the doors. Pepa’s big green eyes lit up with joy as she opened the door to her new room. Suddenly, she realized she had her own personal rainbow hanging over her head. Shouting in shock, she backed away.

That was when Bruno unexpectedly warned her that she’d trip over the banister.

Indeed, Pepa went tumbling over, sliding down the stairs and skinning her knee. Immediately, she broke out into tears, and was even more surprised to feel rain rolling down her cheeks alongside her tears.

Julieta ran down the stairs and went into the kitchen, grabbing an arepa that had been waiting for breakfast. She offered it to Pepa, the way she’d seen Alma do when they got hurt, to distract her from her pain. As soon as she took a bite, the redness on her knee cleared up and the skin healed over.

Alma almost fell over in shock herself. Without any rational explanation, her children had somehow seemingly acquired abilities that were nothing short of magic. Pepa affected the weather. Julieta could heal. And Bruno…could he see the future? Ay. She rubbed her temples. Things wouldn’t be easy after all.

That night, when she brushed her hair before bed, she noticed her first gray hair. The first sign she was getting older.

He should have been here for this.

___

She was forty years old. Amazingly, she had managed to keep her three magical children alive and they getting ready for Julieta and Pepa’s quinceañera. A joint party, of course, but one so lively that no one would miss a second party. Sometime in the last few years, it felt like the veil over Alma’s life had lifted. Colors brightened. Shapes sharpened. And music sounded sweet again. For the first time in a long time, she had allowed herself to dance again. She missed her Pedro, but there was nothing she could do to bring him back. Besides, she and the children had survived. They were safe, and more than safe- they were thriving! Thanks to the triplets’ magical gifts, Alma could give back to the community that had supported them through those first few perilous years. She could try to pay back the massive debt she had accumulated that weighed on her for all those years.

And so she danced! Despite the many quiet years, her feet remembered the steps and carried her from one song to the next. The twinge of pain in her knees was new; she’d certainly never experienced that before while dancing. But no matter; she wouldn’t let it ruin her night! Just like she wouldn’t let the way Pepa swished her skirts around when boys were watching ruin it. Or the way Bruno danced with Julieta because otherwise she’d spend much of the night sitting. These girls needed their papá around; to raise them, to love them, to show them what a man was supposed to be. To dance with them on their special night.

He should have been here for this.

___

She was forty-seven years old. It was Pepa’s wedding day. Pepa would be marrying a wonderful man; one who loved her and would take care of her like Pedro promised to do for Alma. Her heart was overflowing with joy for her daughter. Even though the hurricane had been catastrophic, at the end of the day, Pepa had gone home with her husband. And Alma had not.

He should have been here for this.

___

She was fifty years old. This time it was Julieta’s wedding day. She too was marrying a man who promised to love her and cherish her, through anything life would throw at them. Her wedding had been a calmer affair, though no less joyous. Alma laughed, and she cried, and she wasn’t sure which one was giving her more wrinkles around her eyes. But just like Pepa, Julieta did not have her papá at her wedding.

He should have been here for this.

___

She was fifty-three years old. Her first grandchild, a beautiful baby girl, had just been born. Julieta cradled her proudly, humming to soothe her as the baby cried. Alma couldn’t keep the tears out of her own eyes. She was a grandmother. Soon, any day now by the looks of Pepa’s belly, she’d be one again. A joy she should have shared.

He should have been here for this.

___

She was fifty-five years old. Another granddaughter was born. Alma rocked her to sleep in her arms, ignoring the way her joints would seize up sometimes. Their family had been so blessed over the years.

He should have been here for this.

___

She was fifty-eight years old. Isabela, who had just turned five, got a gift of her own! She could make the most beautiful flowers appear. Just like the ones Pedro gave to her. Shortly after, little Dolores also got a gift; able to hear anything no matter how quiet. The magic was growing.

He should have been here for this.

___

She was fifty-nine years old. Her eyesight was growing weaker, but there was no mistaking that this newest Madrigal baby, with his crooked grin and floppy curls, would be beautiful, just like his mamá and papá. Even after all these years, Alma instinctively turned to her side to hand him the baby.

He should have been here for this.

___

She was sixty years old. Another wonderful baby girl. Alma felt something special as she held her in her arms. The girl looked up at her with large inquisitive eyes. She would have been Pedro’s favorite, Alma knew in her heart.

He should have been here for this.

___

She was seventy years old. They had not been expecting any more little blessings, but Antonio had decided to surprise them all, with his wild curls and infectious smile. Alma felt her back stoop as she held him. Even at such an old age, she was blessed to see new life begin. But she wished she could have been blessed to share that old age with her love.

He should have been here for this.

___

She was seventy-one years old.

She was seventy-two years old.

She was seventy-three years old.

She was seventy-four years old.

She was seventy-five years old.

He should have been here for this.

Summer 1962. Rio de Janeiro. At the Veloso Bar, a block from the beach at Ipanema, two friends—the composer Antonio Carlos Jobim and the poet Vinícius de Moraes—are drinking Brahma beer and musing about their latest song collaboration.

The duo favor the place for the good brew and the even better girl-watching opportunities. Though both are married men, they’re not above a little ogling. Especially when it comes to a neighborhood girl nicknamed Helô. Eighteen-year-old Heloisa Eneida Menezes Pais Pinto is a Carioca—a native of Rio. She’s tall and tan, with emerald green eyes and long, dark wavy hair. They’ve seen her passing by, as she’s heading to the beach or coming home from school. She has a way of walking that de Moraes calls “sheer poetry.”

Legend has it that Jobim and de Moraes were so inspired by this shapely coed, they wrote a song for her right on the bar napkins. It’s a good story, but it’s not quite true.

While Helô inspired the song, it was another Carioca who carried it beyond Rio. Astrud Gilberto was just the wife of singing star João Gilberto when she entered a NYC studio in March 1963. João and Jobim were making a record with tenor saxman Stan Getz. The idea of cutting a verse on “Ipanema” in English came up, and Astrud was the only one of the Brazilians who spoke more than phrasebook English.

Astrud’s child-like vocal, devoid of vibrato and singerly mannerisms, was the perfect foil for her husband’s soft bumblebee voice. Jobim tinkled piano. Getz blew a creamy smooth tenor. Four minutes of magic went to tape.

A year later, the song was casting its quiet spell of sea and sand on the charts, washing past the Beatles’ “I Want To Hold Your Hand.” It peaked in mid-June at No. 5, selling over two million copies.

“The Girl From Ipanema” went on to become the second-most recorded popular song in history, behind “Yesterday.” Covered by an A-Z gamut of performers, it’s become the ultimate cliché of elevator music—shorthand for the entire lounge revival of the ’90s.

Over the years, Helô Pinheiro (her married name) enjoyed country-wide fame, ranking with Pelé as one of the goodwill ambassadors of Brazil. She never settled on an occupation, dabbling in acting, then running a modeling agency. In 1987, she posed nude for Playboy (and again in 2003, with her daughter Ticiane). In 2001, Helô opened the Girl From Ipanema clothing boutique in a Rio shopping center.

Shortly after, the heirs of Jobim (who died in 1994) and de Moraes (who died in 1980) filed a lawsuit, claiming Helô was only inadvertently involved in the song’s creation and didn’t have the right to use it for commercial purposes.

Helô says, “I never made a cent from ‘The Girl From Ipanema,’ nor do I claim that I should. Yet now that I’m using a legally registered trademark, they want to prohibit me from being the girl from Ipanema. I’m sure that Antonio and Vinícius would never question the use of the name.”

After much ugliness in and out of court, Helô was able to keep the name for her boutique. Today, she reflects on the early ’60s in Ipanema with nostalgia. “I like the time when everything was prettier because of love, as it says in the Portuguese version of the song. I am still touched when somebody plays the song in my honor.”

—By Bill DeMain

FIRST VARIATION WHAT DUH❗❗

Cool. So kool. Or not. Idk. I need to post this and stop stalling, I got other asks to do 😭

-----

Mirabel somehow was doing it. She was keeping up with the music. She was on one foot, hopping. Then was the final part. The spinning and turning. She stopped, lifted her leg, and was off. She flew about the stage, keeping her balance. She kept going, she was doing it. Live. In front of all these people. She hadn't tripped or stumbled once during the entire performance.

Her first variation, her solo en pointe, and she was doing great. The had perfected the finishing move, and as the music ended, she huffed, her hands outstretched and her smile wide as she beamed. Her eyes first landed on her abuela, who was in the very front, watching her every move. And she couldn't have looked more proud. She looked more proud than when she first started ballet. And now she had just done her first variation, perfectly, and it was from Abuela's favorite ballet no less.

Was this what having her approval was like? What getting a gift was like? Because if so, all of that practice paid off.

Mirabel then looked towards the two (three if you counted her father) loudest ones in the crowd. They were also in the front; her mamá, Julieta, and her older sister, Luisa. They were both cheering loudly, and Julieta suddenly pulled a bouquet from seemingly nowhere and chucked it directly at Mirabel. The girl easily caught it, having gotten used to her mother and her somehow perfected aim when it came to throwing bouquets. Luisa tried to do this same, missing, but Mirabel still turned around and grabbed it, among the other dozens of roses thrown onto the stage by other people.

Mirabel smiled, trying to wave as her abuela taught her to, but she couldn't hide her excitement. She had started practicing this particular variation around when she first got en pointe. Abuela had said that yes, it was a hard dance, but Mirabel was hard work, and since she practiced every day, she believed the girl could pick it up and do it. Mirabel was naturally light on her feet, so turns and spins weren't even an issue for her. And she did it. And she couldn't have been more happy!

The curtains closed and Mirabel walked to the back of the stage and was immediately met with her family (most of them) standing there. Luisa immediately picked her up, hugging her close.

"You did awesome!" She beaming. Luisa reluctantly let her go, and she was engulfed in a hug by both of her parents.

"You were great mija!" Agustin said, kissing Mirabel. The girl blushed, shaking her head. Sure she had gotten compliments for her dancing, but she never got used to it for some reason.

"You did amazing mi amor," Julieta said. She then went through the routine of checking Mirabel's body for injuries. Mirabel constantly reassured her she was fine, but Julieta couldn't help but worry. After swallowing an arepa, her mother kissed her one last time, whispering about how proud she was before following the others to the main house. Alma waited until they all left and held Mirabel's hands beaming.

"Did I do good abuela? I did all the turns without tripping!" Mirabel said proudly and Alma nodded, holding Mirabel's face in her hands.

"You did amazing. Your first variation, and you did it perfectly," she pulled Mirabel into a hug. "At this rate, you'll be the prima ballerina of the Encanto. I'm so proud of you." Alma said gently. Tears well up in Mirabel's eyes as she heard that.

Sure, she had heard her abuela say that to her before, especially whenever she perfected a ballet move. But hearing it now? On this day? It just felt so much more significant. She buried her face in her abuela's face as she let those words sink in.

-----

SO COOL❓❗

No but. This has been stuck in my head for a minute, and I had actually done the drawing days ago, and I had started the writing but. Didn't finish until now. I do that a lot, I have a lot of wips I should finish 😭

ANYWAY. WHAT DO WE THINK...DO WE LIKE 🤧 i mean if you don't. That' s cool, but buddy you might be on the wrong blog 🥸

OK MORE ART AND ASKS SOON RAHHHHG 🦅

#my asks #my asks are open #encanto #encanto au #au #encanto mirabel #encanto alma #encanto Luisa #encanto julieta #encanto agustín #encanto antonio #he's there #just not mentioned lol #so is felix #ballet au #ballerina mirabel au

i want salieri to have more nice things so

watch guda summoning a bunch of high rarity famous musicians who look cool and even maybe cold af but the moment they see salieri they go all excited like ‘teacher!’

also lmao with Beethoven it’s even funnier because salieri and beethoven engage into fast sign language conversation you’ll take that hc from my dead cold hands

at this point man mothered mentored child servants and brightest musicians, watch them be his emotional support

#fate grand order #fgo #antonio salieri #im kinda sad people miss the fact man was at top of musical hierarchy of europe #man tutored insane amount of people in his lifetime #Salieri as a musician is underrated af and I’m fucking sad #the fact that even in beat classical music compilation he most of the times isn’t even mentioned #he’s such a mom fight me #i honestly want him to be more appreciated in lore by his achievements and personality rather than what he has become #i know Salieri we have in game is an unstable mixture of rumors bad reputation and recollections of salieri but #in my eyes he IS salieri despite his own denial #give this poor man a good amount of therapy I beg

At last he said brusquely, ‘I have an idea that Tonio is sodomizing the boy.’

(Shit!)

‘Does that surprise you? He’s your son, the spitting image of you.’

(Shit!)

‘Matilde, you aren’t about to accuse me of...’

‘Darling, please don’t be ridiculous. If I say he’s the spitting image of you, it’s because it’s true; that’s all there is to it.’ (Father was about to say something, but chose instead to gulp down his wine. Mother, in turn, controlled her voice, which for a moment had almost become completely alien to her parlor.) ‘I know something about sodomy,’ she said. ‘It’s the nature of men.

‘It reminds me of when I was sixteen. Do you remember?’ (Father thought it best not to answer.) ‘The boy who used to dog my footsteps from the time I was a little girl, a handsome, husky nineteen-year-old named Carlos, who always put himself between my gaze and the rest of the world, the son of my family’s estate manager, and who, as it turned out, would marry me—a decision I made myself—that boy had fire. He didn’t want to get me pregnant before we got married, but he had a burning desire to “express himself in me”—and I’m not making a word of this up, that’s just what he said—and felt it more strongly every day.

AGUSTÍN GÓMEZ-ARCOS, The Carnivorous Lamb tr. Rodarmor

#txt.#the carnivorous lamb #not the first mention of the father’s name as I said in an ask somewhere I’m sowwy. for instance ->#Antonio looked like ‘a reincarnation of young Carlos the way he looked in the wedding picture of my parents’#this book is much more insane than I remembered I need to reread it desperately #‘express himself in me’ going to be thinking about that one for a while 🚬

Dragon!Havenfall MC AU Ideas

Just random ideas I have for this AU I made. — Poly route with Havenfall's Finest + Vanessa and Antonio. Cue JD making jokes about them being MC's hoard/real treasures. Vanessa NO this isn't like a harem anime JD Antonio stop encouraging her. — Grace is kidnapped and that sparks the awakening of HF!MC's dragon blood, because dragons are very Clan oriented and god help you if you fuck with a dragon's Clan. — That being said, nobody actually knows what MC is because the magic has only just started awakening. She experiences on-and-off heightened senses, and only in moments of intense emotion does she experience claws, slitted pupils, fangs, and the occasional spark of magic.

— Dragons haven't been seen nor heard from in a long, long, long time. It's got to the point that the supernatural world believes they've gone extinct. So when it's revealed MC is a dragon, it's a very big shock. — Turns out dragons have the ability to take a human form, and have taken plenty of human lovers over the years. And maybe a god or two. Probably. Cue Alex realising just why one of their siblings keeps smirking when asked why they called their jewellery store The Treasure Hoard when they (Alex) visits Havenfall. — There's a cult of Dragon Hunters who hunt down dragons for their blood, bone, scales, and organs for their rituals, and to also sell them as they're the most sought-after alchemy/potion ingredients. — MC would be partially awakened, meaning she'll only have access to some of her dragon traits. Come a showdown with the hunters who kidnapped her sister, she finally awakens it fully. I'm talking shimmering scales covering parts of her body, and slitted pupils and sharp fangs and claws, sweeping horns and even wings, and is able to tap into magic that's been lying dormant in her veins for years. — Afterwards MC needs a special magical necklace to help suppress her dragon traits until she gets control over it. However, dragon magic is quite strong so occasionally MC will have a trait if she's stressed enough. — It's only just the beginning, however. The cult has finally found a dragon at long last, and they're not about to give up on getting their hands on MC for their most important ritual yet...

#havenfall is for lovers #HFIFL #Havenfall MC #Havenfall Is For Lovers AU #mackenzie hunt #Diego Escalona #Jordan Davies #Razi Nassar #Vanessa Helsing #Antonio Vasquez #dragon!MC AU #lovestruck #alex cyprin #I mean they are mentioned so just to be on the safe side
