Hi, as someone who discovered her first grey hair a couple months ago and had a crisis about it, I'm interested in Eddie discovering his first grey hair pretty please
Hi there!
Omg I did this a while ago and it was going to be a one shot (probably still can be as it’s not finished)
Here is a snippet of it 💕
Once they finished, Eddie went into the bathroom again to style his hair and he combed it through before running his fingers through it too. He then began to style with it with a little bit of gel and as he turned his head, he had to do a double take.
That better not be what I think it is.
He tried to brush it away with his fingertips, thinking, no, hoping that it was just conditioner that hadn’t been washed out properly. When nothing happened, he placed his hands on the sides of the sink as a sign of defeat. It was barely visible, not one, not two, not three, but four grey strands mixed in with the dark brown.
Has no one else seen them? No, if they had, they would’ve said something. They wouldn’t have left it alone.
Yet he couldn’t help but to wonder.
“Chris? Will you come in here for a second?” He called out, stopped dead in his tracks. No, it wasn’t a big deal. It’s just hair and he knew that for some people even getting to have grey hair is a privilege. That didn’t mean that it didn’t take him by surprise.
“Yeah, dad?” Chris questioned as he soon stood in the doorway.
“You see these too, right?” Eddie pointed to the side of his head where he had discovered the four, small grey strands of hair.
“You have grey hair” His son laughed and put his hand on top of his. Eddie couldn’t help but to laugh a little himself too and eventually pulled his head away from Chris’ touch.
“Not a word to anyone about this. Not even Buck, okay?” Eddie said pointedly at Christopher who just agreed with a big smile on his face.
Buck is going to know within seconds the next time I see him.
The entire evening that he spent at his Tia Pepa’s house, he kept touching the side of his head and smiling awkwardly every time that he got caught doing it. It felt ridiculous but so did getting grey hairs at 35. His dad didn’t even start to get grey hairs before he was in his early 50s and he knew that their life and stress levels couldn’t exactly compare but it still made him feel self aware. It was only a few strands now but he also knew that they would only keep on coming.
When they came back home, they sat on the couch and watched a movie until Christopher fell asleep with his head in Eddie’s lap. In the middle of the night, Eddie woke up with Christopher still sleeping on him and he ended up carrying him to bed before heading off to sleep too. But he was sat on the edge of the bed and he took out his phone, brought it to the side of his head and took a picture of his grey hair strands. He didn’t know why. Maybe to document it, maybe to prove to himself that he wasn’t actually hallucinating or maybe to find some acceptance in it.
He spent the following day at home with Chris and when Carla came to pick him up Monday morning, he realized that it had already been two full days since he noticed something new about himself.
“Dad has grey hair!” Was the first thing out of Christopher’s mouth as he opened the door for Carla.
“Your dad has what now?” She said, a smile lightening up on her face.
And there we have it.
“Nothing, absolutely nothing” Eddie shot Christopher a look but it wasn’t anger. It was a mix of embarrassment and a slight bit of annoyance.
“I’m pretty sure I heard your son say that you have grey hair” Carla stated as she went to the kitchen counter to pick up some of Christopher’s things as he put on his shoes.
“I mean… yes. I do. It’s just a few strands. Really, it’s not a big deal” Eddie said, trying to sound convincing.
“Whatever you say, honey” Carla smiled at Eddie and put on her hand on Christopher’s shoulder as they were heading out of the door.
This one also goes out to @wikiangela 💋
Ask me about my wips 💗
Using this as my WIP Wednesday 🫢
This is really a raw draft that I did a while ago but the idea just came alive then

The Fellowship and their favorite Classic Frat Party Bangers™️
Frodo
No Hands by Waka Flocka Flame
This is pre-Ring Frodo, ofc
Y’all remember how he was dancing at Bilbo’s birthday? Yeah dude def likes to get down
I just feel like after he’s had a few drinks in him and this song comes on, he grabs Sam and loudly says “OMG ITS MY SOONNGGGG!”
Can sing the whole song with no breaks (just like me fr)
Sam
Everything by Pitbull
Sam actually doesn’t really like the music they play at parties. He thinks some of the lyrics are crass
HOWEVER
One time this song came on at a party that Rosie was at and she danced with him the entire song. He has not stopped thinking about it since
The next day he went straight to Merry (the Pitbull expert) and asked him what the song was called and then he immediately went and bought the song and listened to it everyday for the next two weeks
Now he requests it every time him and Frodo go out just in case Rosie is there
Pippin
Shots by Lil Jon
He is the Snooki of the Shire let’s be real here
Loves lil Jon. Thinks he’s a lyrical genius
He’s always up on the damn tables and the bar
“IF YOU AINT GETTIN DRUNK GET THE FUCK OUT THE CLUB” and Pippin took that personally
Spills his drinks on everyone. Gets into a verbal altercation bc of said spillage. Merry comes in to back him up. Now Frodo and Sam have to break up a fight
Merry
Hotel Room Service by Pitbull
Pitbulls no. 1 fan
Right up there on the tables with Pippin
Gets sooo hype for “WE AT THE HOTEL MOTEL HOLIDAY INN!”
Also spills his drinks but not as much
Has in fact been decked in the face for asking a girl if he could take her back to the hotel room for some *service*
Aragorn
Pepas by Farruko
This man has never gone to a party of his own accord. He has only gone just to make sure that Merry and Pippin don’t die
BUT once he’s got a few drinks in his system and this song comes on, he’s ready to let lose
I feel like he would love the Spanish songs (he can speak fluently I just know it)
Does his own lil dancy dance while Merry and Pippin cheer him on
Legolas records it for when he’s sober and they can all laugh about it
Legolas
Hips Don’t Lie by Shakira OR Promiscuous by Nelly Furtado
Oh he defff likes the “girlier” songs
Once he has enough in his system to get that lil tingle in his hands, bro is right in the middle of whatever dance circle formed around him
That man LOVES to flip his hair all over the place like he’s really got his hands in his hair feeling the music and everything
Learned all this from his father I just know that Thranduil made sure his son was properly educated
Gimli gives him shit for the entire night
Gimli
Get Low by Lil Jon
Oh bro definitely likes to get low
His drunk self gets SO HYPE when this song comes on
Climbs right up on the table with Merry and Pippin (falls off soon after)
The rest of the fellowship watches in absolute terror as he tears up the dance floor
Gandalf
Danza Kuduro by Don Omar
Will he dance? Who knows
But one thing for certain is that his heart is filled with so much joy watching the Hobbits go absolutely crazy for this song
He thinks it’s so fun and endearing watching them dancing and enjoying the night
It’s one of those simple things that he loves so much. Watching a group of friends enjoying each others company and celebrating their friendship with music and dancing
You know what he WILL dance let him get in the middle of that silly little circle
Boromir
DJ Got Us Fallin In Love by Usher
He may be daddy’s favorite, but being daddy’s favorite is stressful
At the end of the week, he just wants to cut lose and get drunk
And drunk he gets
He just likes to feel the musiiicccc
Has never gone home alone LMAO

Pepa and Felix are now in! What would they do first, apologize to Mirabel or discipline Camilo?
Also, I want to see how Dolores smashed Camilo's face
Well…
There isn’t much to say. She just smacked him in the face.
Warning, potentially sensitive topics below.
~~~~~~
The evening settled.
Félix had taken Julieta’s advice, ignoring Camilo entirely for the time being.
While Pepa still was in disbelief and couldn’t make up her mind, so she had retreated to their room to avoid everyone.
Félix had decided to go with Julieta and Agustín when they went to check on Mirabel for a third time since they’d come home. Even though the chances looked she wouldn’t be conscious.
To their surprise, however, she was awake and curled up against Luisa, but not doing great.
Mirabel refused to eat or drink anything, still feeling nauseous. Though Agustín did leave a glass of water for both girls on Luisa’s bedside table.
Julieta had convinced Luisa to step aside for a moment, so that she could have some time with Mirabel.
“She’s been awake for ten minutes. She’s not done much,” Luisa admitted, whispering. “I tried reading to her, but she just cried throughout. She is in a lot of pain.”
“I can imagine,” Agustín said.
“She’s terrified too. She doesn’t want to talk about what happened. I can feel her little heart beating so fast when she’s thinking about it.”
“Rest assured, Camilo will be punished.” Félix replied.
“Good. I refuse to let her go, I’m keeping her with me.”
“Just letting you know now, mija - your sister also wants a day of getting to nurse Mirabel.”
“Isabela!? She can barely keep a stick alive!”
“Luisa, we spoke about this—”
Mirabel made a miserable noise.
“I’m fine. It really isn’t that bad, Mama. In fact, I already feel much improved.” She insisted. She glanced at the book. “Where is Lu? When is she coming back?”
“I’m here,” Luisa called from behind.
Mirabel still found that moving made her very dizzy, hence why she hadn’t moved. But she slowly forced herself to turn her upper body around, facing the other side of the room where Luisa, Agustín and Félix were.
Luisa clambered back onto her bed, adjusting Mirabel more comfortably.
“Sorry. I-I thought you had left.” Mirabel mumbled.
“You don’t need to keep apologising, you haven’t done anything wrong, hermanita.” Luisa said gently. She flickered her gaze among the adults, mouthing, “We can talk later. I’d rather her be comfortable and distracted right now.”
The parents, though tense and unsure, nodded in understanding. They backed away quietly and slowly.
Félix hesitated for a moment before following after them.
Agustín shut the door quietly.
He sighed, “At least she’s awake now.”
“She’s not doing great,” Julieta wrung her hands. “She looks so pale.. I don’t want her going to sleep until she’s drank and eaten something.”
Félix left the couple to it, returning to his and Pepa’s room, where the weather had seemingly calmed a bit since he was last in here.
“I saw Mirabel,” he said.
“What did you say to her? Did you ask about Camilo? What did she say?”
“Very little. I didn’t speak to her. She’s struggling to keep herself from crying out in pain. It was more important to let Julieta speak to her - I didn’t want to stress her.” He took a breath, sitting down on the bed beside his wife, taking her hand. “I know this is a shock, but she’s not okay and Camilo needs to learn what he did was wrong.”
“But he didn’t do anything. I know he didn’t; he wouldn’t. And you heard Agustín.”
“He didn’t put a stop to it either, Pepita.”
Pepa didn’t respond.
The clouds above thundered and darkened.
“I’ll talk to Camilo and give him his punishment. But only after someone does the same to Luisa.” She paused. “Fair is fair.”

So uhm I saw this post by @poughkeepsies and started writing about it to @shortsighted-owl and suddenly this whole thing was written and I thought I'd share it with you
Thank you to @spookylexicon for helping me to make sure to use the right Spanish endearments here
6x14 coda, 1,2 k words, coming out, read on AO3
The colors of my heart
"Eddito you're not even trying, are you?"
"I'm sorry Pepa. I didn't want to disappoint you. It's just..."
"Did you not like her?"
"No, no she was great. Just like the others... I just,"
"Come on. Spit it out, what's going on."
Eddie, absolutely exhausted, swipes a hand over his face and falls into the chair next to Pepa.
His face is slightly crunched up as if he's not sure where to take the words from for what he's about to say. "I, uhm...."
He looks at his hands and forces himself to let go of the tension so that his fists fall open.
He wiggles his fingers a few times and says, "I'm... There is... I mean…"
It's really so ridiculous. It's not like he's seven and telling his father that he wants to marry his best friend and being chided for even thinking such things.
It's not like he's 15 and trying his hardest to fall for a girl, any girl, while his eyes keep wandering back to wherever Miles is.
It's not like he's 23 and in the army where some of the men get comfortable with each other, "to release some stress" and Eddie is terrified of what stirs in his chest.
He's here at his Tia's who has always loved and supported him and he knows she won't judge. Yet the words won't even form in his mind, let alone shape on his tongue.
He almost flinches when suddenly Pepa's hand is covering his. "Eddie, you know you can tell me everything, right?"
Eddie blinks a few times and realizes that his vision is blurry. He clears his throat and sits up, still not looking at his aunt. "Yeah. Yeah of course."
For a moment the silence seeps into every cell of him and it makes him twitchy and uncomfortable. It's not how he imagined this. Hell, he hadn't imagined it at all to be honest. So far he only had made careful remarks in therapy and Frank had been gracious enough to signal that he's open to talk about it but didn't push Eddie.
He hasn't talked with anyone about it. Most of the time his own thoughts are only vaguely shimmering in his mind and the only person he actually wants to talk to about it.... Well... That's just complicated, ok?
"Are you... I mean, is there someone else?" Pepa suddenly asks him, her hand still on Eddie's and talking in this soft voice as if she's talking to Chris who's upset about something.
Eddie doesn't know where he takes the courage from but he nods, "Yeah."
And even just admitting this bit out loud has such an impact on Eddie's body that he shudders. A nervous yet warm feeling spreads from his chest and dances over his skin in soft tingles.
Pepa leans back, still not letting go of Eddie's hand and he can hear the smile in her voice, "Ah. I see."
"Yeah," Eddie repeats again, not knowing how to expand on it.
He can feel Pepa's gaze on him. And he wants to be confident about it, he wants to hold his head up high and puff out his chest and say the words cause he's not ashamed. He isn't. There had been a time where he was. After he had been taught that it's something to feel ashamed about.
And repressing it had worked for a long time. But when he told his father months ago that he wants to get better for himself, Eddie already knew that unpacking this particular shame would be a big part of it. He may not be able to be proud of it just yet but he's not ashamed and he's made his peace with it a while ago even though he hasn't said any of it out loud yet.
In a moment of courage he glances over at Pepa whose eyes are still on him, her expression soft and carefully attentive.
He opens his mouth and almost blurts it out but a car honks nearby and Eddie loses his momentum.
He averts his eyes and looks out over the front porch.
Pepa squeezes his hand lightly and asks, "Do they deserve your love?" And Eddie swallows, very aware of how open, how gender neutral, this question is.
But he nods immediately, not even having to think about the answer for a second.
"Good," Pepa says.
A few seconds pass and Eddie knows it's his turn now.
Pepa has reached out to him as far as she dared, nudged him without pushing him and has handed the reins over to him.
The nervousness prickles under his skin and suddenly he can't bear to not move anymore. He shoots up to his feet but is so surprised by his own action that he doesn't know what to do next.
In an attempt to ground himself and find his footing again, he drives his hands through his hair and lets out a long breath. For a second he contemplates running but instead of moving forward his body turns and he looks right into Pepa's eyes.
"I'm," the word is already formed in his mouth and he can taste it on his tongue but somehow it refuses to be released into the open.
Pepa holds his gaze and slowly stands up. She takes a step towards Eddie, reaches out and curls her slim fingers around his biceps. "Eddito. You don't have to,"
And suddenly, without his doing, the word explodes out of him, "Gay. I'm.. I'm gay and Buck.. It's.. I.. Buck."
Eddie freezes as he hears the words leaving his mouth and his eyes go wide in shock. The following seconds stretch and stretch and Eddie feels like if he moves now the air around him will shatter. He's already bracing himself for the loud 'boom' of an explosion, for the irritating crunch of glass under his boots. But instead of being thrown back against the wall by the shockwave, he's gently pulled forward. "Oh Eddito, come here," he hears Pepa saying while her arms wrap around him. It takes him a solid five seconds to shake off the shock and then he can't hold himself back and he squeezes Pepa against his chest.
He has no idea how long they stand there holding each other. But when Pepa pulls back his heart feels just that little less sore around the edges.
Pepa doesn't let go of him, instead grabs him by his arm again and cups his cheek with the other hand. "I am so proud of you cariño." And Eddie doesn't even try to blink back the tears that are rapidly welling up in his eyes. For a few more heartbeats they just look and smile at each other before Pepa hugs him again, shorter this time.
When she takes a step back a somewhat mischievous grin brightens her face. "So, Buck?"
Eddie laughs. Pepa nods, "I can see that. He's a good one."
"Yeah, he is," Eddie agrees.
Pepa pets his cheek and lets out a breath. "Ok. Let's go inside. It's time to make dinner and I can teach you a secret family recipe you can make for your Buck that'll make him fall in love with you." She winks at him and Eddie groans, "Tia. No." But he follows behind her with his head held high, his chest puffed out and a faint sense of pride pulsing in his chest.

For the choose violence ask game:
8. For 9-1-1, if you please.
8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about
This one got away from me…
It’s not everyone, but I see it often enough to really be annoying. The premise that certain interactions with women that Eddie’s had over the seasons are proof that he’s not interested in women. Specifically, scenes like him rejecting the women hitting on him at the Saddle Ranch in s2, him being uncomfortable and trying to avert his gaze with the sleep driving woman in s6, and his reaction to Pepa’s ambush setup in s6, etc.
I know people are often joking, but I’ve also seen these moments touted as objective proof of him being not into women. And, to be clear, the offense I take over this isn’t about debating his sexuality. It’s about how such claims are based on a premise that I find very skeevy.
If Eddie’s canon behavior in these scenes is evidence that he’s not into women then logic dictates that the way to show that he is into women in these scenarios would be if he did the opposite behavior. So let’s explore that thought experiment.
Eddie is at work, trying to do his job, which in this case includes the serious business of trying to get a woman’s head safely out of a truck tailpipe. Drunk women are aggressively hitting on him. He’s not enjoying it. This is apparently proof of him not liking all women, instead of him not liking these particular women. The implication is that if he was interested in women, he’d be having the time of his life and getting all their numbers. However, if the genders were swapped in this scenario, nobody would ever claim that a woman not enjoying several drunk men hitting on her while she’s just trying to do her job is indication of anything other than that those men need to back off and leave her alone.
A woman unexpectedly crashes her car into Eddie’s place of work and when she gets out, she’s completely naked. Also this happened while she was sleeping. She’s now awake and understandably distressed. Eddie is reacting with shock and trying very hard not to look at her. This is apparently proof that he’s just so gay, he can’t stand to see the nude female form for even a moment. Even jokingly, this is gross. The implication here is that if he were into women, he’d be what? Excited that a naked women drove into his place of work with no warning? Ogling a women in a very distressing and vulnerable situation? Salivating at her like a cartoon wolf from a Tex Avery cartoon? If I were that woman, I would absolutely be wanting every single person in that room to be averting their gaze as much as possible. And I don’t know about other people, but personally, I’d be pretty uncomfortable encountering any naked person in a location and scenario where I wasn’t already expecting it. Just saying.
Eddie stressing about Pepa’s ambush date setup? I literally don’t know a single person in my life who would enjoy being invited somewhere under one pretense and then being unexpectedly introduced to a complete stranger for a date. Maybe every person I’ve ever met is a complete weirdo, but I doubt it. I think people generally don’t like high pressure surprises about their personal life. Like, I’m really trying to picture how any of the other characters would react to such a thing, and even Buck, who I think would likely be the best sport about it, would probably be pretty taken aback about the whole thing. But maybe I’m just too much of an introvert to see the vision.
Tl:dr the essential implication behind all of these, is that in any scenario, a man who is into women is expected to respond to all women in all situations with clear enthusiasm at minimum and desperate horniness at most and that’s, frankly, a gross, all men are pigs sort of outlook that I really do not vibe with at all. Like, it literally sounds like homophobic frat boy talk. “Bro, you didn’t want to hit that? What are you gay?”

Ballet au thoughts and ideas
Yes,  they do have a big dance studio and a record player to play some classical vinyl records on a gramophone record player. Most of the music is from Alma’s time, gramophones were invented in 1887 so I think Alma would have one.
Tumblr media
Alma isn’t hard on her if Mira makes a mistake. Alma, of all people, knows that mistakes happen and you can’t be mad or upset at them. Just get up and try again. Neither does she tell Mirabel to watch her weight, she’s seen all body types doing ballet back in her day so she would never say anything of the sort. 
She also likes sharing stories of her past ballet experiences with Mira. She does sometimes get a little choked up about it but pushes through to tell the story. 
Also, Alma told her all about the famous stories ballet dancers danced to such as swan lake, the nutcracker, la bayadère, Giselle, and the sugar plum fairy. 
I have a feeling that the sugar plum fairy is her favorite story because 1. It’s a good story and 2. She was in a play about it when she was little. 
And yes, Alma is on a nostalgia kick and pressures Mirabel to do it more. And doing ballet with instruments is not the “perfect” way to go. But I believe Mira isn’t as stressed out as the others, she just feels like she is being a little forced to limit herself (don’t worry, she dances with instruments when Alma isn’t around)
Bruno doesn’t really mind though, he sees a new side to his mother that he rarely ever saw so he’s happy for both of them. 
You know how everyone headcanons that there’s a big stage in Camilo’s room? Well Mirabel’s is a little bit bigger than his, like dis
Tumblr media
That was by Alma’s request as well
When Mira’s in the mood for it, she’ll do a couple shows inviting the whole village to watch. When it comes to shows, she sometimes does solo ones, shows with alma, or with the village ballet dancers. And if she can, she’ll sing in them, which is 90% of the time. 
Casita often helps with the props or FX just to make things a little more magical, and they're kind of like a built-in stage hand too. 
Angst section, you don't need to take it seriously, but I needed to put these thoughts somewhere:
For angst, everyone thinks Alma’s playing favoritism (like in the werewolf au). But no one talks about it. We all know she isn’t but y’know. 
On top of that, Imagine how flabbergasted the triplets (yes, Bruno stayed) are when they see Alma doing ballet. They do know what it is, they’ve seen the small ballet class in the village. But they didn’t know Alma knew it, you gotta know how hurt they felt knowing that they’re mother didn’t let them know something that their sabrina/daughter knows. 
I would be a little upset, how you gon let my child/niece know something that I never knew about you? And TEACH it to her?! 
Julieta and Pepa however, feel there is some favoritism going on. 
Bruno doesn’t really mind though, he sees a new side to his mother that he rarely ever saw so he’s happy for both of them. 
More angst tehe; for some “odd reason” most of her family, ( except bruno, antonio, luisa, agustin, and felix) can’t come to her shows. They're either “too busy” or “too tired” or “ it’s too loud”. All of those things are lies, of course. Pepa, Julieta, Isabela, Camilo, and Dolores are never that tired, or that busy, and Mirabel made Dolores ear muffs just so she can watch the show. 
You best believe Alma isn’t pleased with this behavior and sometimes has to force them to come. 
“You can’t be that tired to miss your prima/daughter/sister’s show. You have missed them for the fifth time and I’m tired of it. I expect you to be there on time or else, and I’m NOT taking no for an answer” 
And of course, they are blown away by Mirabel’s flawless work of ballet. But they won’t admit that they’re too pressed. 
RAHHHHH❗❗
Nice to see there's a company. Can't really get behind the family for their excuses tho like. Seriously, why are you so pressed, shouldn't you be happy??? I mean it's not like she just acquired the skills through magic, she has to work hard everyday to get that good. Like stop being so salty and just admit that she's good 😭 pride isn't a good color <33
Shootout to Bruno for staying and going to the performances❗❗❗ And the other family members who go to the performances as well. Major W's on their parts <33
Funny little idea. A suggestion. Luisa absolutely ADORES watching Mirabel and loves going to her shows and watching them. Like Luisa is arguably one of, if not the busiest Madrigal, and she still will straight up drop whatever she's doing (or rather finish up whatever she's doing) and go straight to wherever Mirabel's preforming. And if she's doing a public performance in like the plaza or whatever, she'll just. Stand there and watch. She'll have whole donkey's on her shoulder and just stand there and watch.
Tumblr media
Luisa ties the ribbons on her shoes so they look like pointe shoe ribbon and. She helps Mirabels tie her bun when she goes to practice. I think Luisa would peek in on Mirabel's practice when she's at Casita.
Luisa trying not to scream out and throw flowers at Mirabel while she's performing:

Just an idea of course <333

It took me a while to notice that the Encanto gramma predicates them “deserving” the miracle (survivor’s guilt there) on them using their gifts for everyone who asks for help, all day, no rest, and tries to make sure no one in the town ever feels alone or unprotected, but not only is that making the kids feel exhausted and inauthentic and unseen; it’s also making her unable to deal with reality (the miracle faltering); and it’s also probably the reason Bruno felt like his gift was hurting everyone, bc it made the villagers really uncomfortable. At first the way “we don’t talk about Bruno” presents him made me think he was walking around telling people bad news unasked, but then he says everyone kept asking him, they just didn’t like the answers. So the town feeling unsafe around him made abeula feel like they were failing them.
And! The way Pepa tells her part of the song makes it sound like everything was sunshine at the wedding until he said what he said. But her husband corrects her “there wasn’t a cloud in the sky” to “no clouds ALLOWED in the sky.” And then at the end Bruno said “I could see that you were stressing,” which presumably means she did already have a little cloud when he showed up. But every time Pepa shows a cloud Abuela yells at her. She’s even dressed all in yellow with sun earrings, she’s trying to hard to stay sunny for Abuela. So she revised it in her memory to Bruno causing it. But then at the end when he tells her he wishes she would just feel all her feelings, her husband says “I’ve been saying that” and at the very end she’s dancing in the snow.
And at first I thought Mirabel had no gift but she and Bruno have almost the same gift! He had future sight and she has inner sight—she can see the cracks in the house before they appear, she can see Luisa’s trauma visually as she explains it. And at first she seems more determined than Bruno to follow through on her gift, but by the end she followed the same route as him—she ran off convinced she’d failed them. But bc Abuela had been through it already with Bruno she was able to make a different choice this time and follow Mirabel and let her teach her. I wonder if Abuela had inner sight too, since Mirabel seems poised to inherit the rest of her gift—house and candle guardian. She pretends she doesn’t believe the magic is faltering but then privately admits she knows, so is it bc she can see it too and was in denial? Or she just guessed bc of what happened to Mirabel?
The fact that Bruno saw the future still in doubt means the visions were multi layered anyway. And adjusting to free will as it happened. I love that Bruno’s prophecies are fluid like that. How the meaning shifts in response to what they choose. Dolores takes his prophecy and chooses to go get her man, Isabela takes it and gets new dreams of her own. So it doesn’t hurt them. I love how all of them develop so much more dimension to their gifts when they’re allowed to use it for themselves and not just for service! Selfishness!! It’s so necessary! I think it’s one of the best forms of healing trauma!! Bc our idea of selfishness gets so twisted. i’ve heard some people say they wished they hadn’t gotten their gifts back. They thought it would be more powerful if they didn’t, but I think the point is that the gifts are just who they are, it’s not really about them being magic. The house only amplifies the gift.
We never really get to see Mirabel’s moms inner life, which makes sense because that’s how we are with our parents at that age. But I do wonder if she had any adjusting she needed to do..
Also fascinating how Dolores is the one after Bruno who sees how things are most accurately, and she sees how nobody wants to hear what he sees, so she stays quiet about her perceptions about what she hears and just reports what she’s asked for neutrally, almost mechanically (unless it’s a major emergency, lol). Like Mirabel says Dolores will tell everyone, but she never argued with anyone about Bruno being bad even though she knew it was more complicated than that, she never tells anyone she still hears him sometimes, she reports “he wants five babies” with the barest quirk of her mouth, she never once mentions Isabela’s bf is her dream man even though Bruno told her that would happen years ago. Her verse about Bruno is by far the most perceptive but she almost whispers it. And only tells Mirabel things if she’s asked. It's so traumatic to be the one who sticks out, who can’t hide the gift so it antagonizes everyone. But it’s almost as traumatic to be the one who has to stifle their gift and not to use it nearly to its potential because so they’ve seen what will happen.
It’s SO layered and so dang accurate to how trauma plays out generationally and I’ve rewatched it three times and still keep noticing things and WOW. And Dos Origuitas makes me cry. Bc it’s layered too! It’s not just “you’ll transform through trauma,” it’s “the process of transformation may take you away from the people you went through the trauma with, and that’s ok, you have to let each other go and trust the cocoon and that you’ll find each other again after if you can” and that’s a lot!!!

silence the voices that haunt you inside
rated t | 5.7k words
"How are you doing, Diaz?"
Eddie turns his head towards the captain and takes in his sincerely concerned expression. He realises he hasn't seen him since the shooting.
He puts his hands in his pockets, breathing calmly. "I'm doing good," he replies, and takes a moment to appreciate the fact that it's the truth. "Really, I'm doing much better than I was just a year ago."
Mehta nods. "I'm glad, Diaz. Really."
Eddie smiles politely, ready to drop the subject. Then, "Good thing Buckley was there," Mehta adds, and it's so casual, like a thought pronounced aloud, that Eddie's brain takes a minute to process the words.
———
A story of poker nights, feelings realisations, breakdowns and PTSD.
6x13 speculation fic
“Are you sure it’s no bother?” Bobby asks again. 
He’s still wearing his uniform despite the shift having already ended and him and Eddie being the only ones of their team left. He has a pen sitting behind his ear, making him look more like an architect than a firefighter. The door to his office is ajar, and Eddie can only imagine how stressful it must be to fight fires and do paperwork in the meantime. (He’s kind of grateful Bobby has never considered him to become interim captain whenever the opportunity arose, if he’s being honest.)
Eddie fights the urge to roll his eyes at his captain – something about respecting your elders and all the kind of stuff you get taught in the army – and smiles instead, shaking his head in a fondly exasperated manner.
“Bobby, it’s fine,” he says.
“And Christopher—”
“—is at Pepa’s,” Eddie interrupts him. “I told you, it’s fine. You go have fun with Athena, I got it covered.”
“I’m sorry I couldn’t find anyone else to pin this onto,” Bobby says, and by the way Eddie does roll his eyes this time, it’s probably the fourth time or something very close to that.
“Bobby,” Eddie groans. “We have Saturday night free and I’m the only one who’s unattached. Everyone else made plans, I get it.”
Bobby nods. Something in the way he slightly narrows his eyes tells Eddie that he’s not completely convinced, though, but he lets it slide.
“You could ask Buck to come with you. You know, keep you company. He’s… unattached, too,” he says, and if this wasn’t Bobby, a 50-something year-old man, Eddie would be sure that his tone was suggesting something that Eddie is not quite willing to discuss with his captain.
He laughs it off, shrugging his shoulders. “Yeah, sure,” he says, and he hopes Bobby doesn’t realise how dry his mouth suddenly is. “I’m sure we can find ourselves a couple of fancy suits.”
Bobby nods. He clasps a hand on his shoulder, thanking him, and walks back to his office.
Eddie grips his duffel bag tighter. He looks at Buck’s locker – the one that hasn’t been used in a while, the one they used to share – and finds himself pulling out his phone and sending him a message before he has the time to even think about it.
just got off shift. call me when you wake up, yeah?

Year ago, April 2022, I resumed drawing after almost 15 years of hiatus. Now, looking back, I decided to do “Top 10” of noteworthy for me works of last year, without any ranking. Starting with this one, which I had drawn April 2.
Very first mini-comic (most of the rest of which is still in first draft/script stage). Although it’s one of very early drawings, I still like it the same and generally am content with how it turned.
Cool teenage Bruno, master of foreshadowing.
I just imagined young (15-16) Bruno entertaining kids with the story of his family and the miracle in the same way Mirabel did, and came up with this scenario, but still had to figure context of why Bruno’s gift would be kept secret.
So the headcanon is, Bruno didn’t really start to serve community with his gift until late adolescence, because Alma considered that people may start pester the kid with requests which he wouldn’t be able to reject and become exhausted, so his power was used only in urgent cases, on behalf of Alma and confidentially. Probably, Alma considered the same with two other kids, but in the end abilities of Pepa made it nearly impossible to hide, and Julieta loved cooking and taking care of people since childhood and wasn’t getting overwhelmed with it.
(The secrecy also can explain why his door, originally placed between these of his sisters, moved into more secure place.)
And, while he didn’t had to use the gift *that* often (during 10+ years), these cases were still stressful and proved he had to control himself to not getting too invested in lives of his clients and stay impartial toward their fates, even when he was a witness of, sometimes rough, future for them. But he carried his duty without complaining (like the rest of family), developed stoicism and got used to fighting anxieties and hardships on his own, so he remained genuinely upbeat for long time, until, around mature age, burnout had overtaken him. (Director stated that it started to creep on him in late adolescence, but after all, sudden drops in mental well-being are specific to teenage.)
It also happened that there weren’t other kids of triplets age in the village for long time, so they had mostly just themselves for company growing up. But as new kids started to appear, it’s Bruno who gained admiration of the young ones. For grown-ups and young adults, he was mostly a subject of (often alarming) rumors and, at best, a lonesome weirdo, but in the eyes of children he’s as worthy of idolization as any mysterious and bohemian older person who acts friendly to them, thus a totally cool guy:) And he seemed to like playing along with it.
Useless trivia: the children’s names (from left to right in upper panel) - Pablo, Sofia, Juan and Cristina. They’re not related to any background characters, just random kids. Although it would’ve been funny if some of villagers who were sharing ominous stories about him used to be his followers in their childhood.

Ris relationships with all the Madrigals:
Abuela/Alma: Ris somehow is very comforted and very intimidated by her at the same time. she’s the first person that seemed to understand Ris on a deeper level, and they’ll be forever grateful that she allowed them to stay in the enca/nto. But also she passes by and Ris immediately stands up straighter and becomes very respectful, does that make sense agkskg
Julieta: Ris wants her approval sooooo bad, they really admire her and they’d never admit it but she’s like the mom they never had
Agustin: Ris loves this guy, they joke around together a lot and I like to imagine he starts to teach them how to play the piano, also he’s like the dad they never had
Pepa: out of all the parents Ris and Pepa get along the best!! Whenever Pepa is feeling stressed/sad and gets stuck in the rain, Ris likes to sit with her and they just sort of feel sad together, if that makes sense, Ris also goes to Pepa for advice a LOT
Felix: Ris and Felix are the same type of laid back and go with the flow, so they get along great!! they’re also both jokesters and have a talent for bringing out the playfulness in people, I like to think Felix teaches Ris how to dance (they’re awful at it but they’re trying!!)
Bruno: are they best friends? brothers? uncle and niece or father and kid? all and none at the same time!! they’re very much found family but not in any specific way, they just mean a lot to each other and that’s that, Ris and Bruno bond over their OCD tendencies for SURE, and Bruno is the first one to suggest that maybe Ris’ power can bring comfort too
Isabela: gay people! 🎉 but for real they’re both very much creatives and bond over that, they enjoy parallel play with each other a LOT, they just find a lot of comfort and happiness being around each other and like seeing the world through each others eyes!! they’re also both the Last To Know about their feelings for each other, the siblings/cousins make this elaborate scheme to get them to realize they’re in love and it somehow works
Dolores: Ris gets easily embarrassed around her cause they feel like she Knows too much about them, but one time Dolores hears them singing (it’s their secret talent and they don’t like to sing around people) and she asks them about it and they have a heart to heart, after that they both think the other is just a sweetheart
Luisa: Ris relates to Luisa SO HARD, both feeling like they just have to keep a lid on everything and always be the reliable stable one, I think Ris takes on a bit of a big sibling role for her, providing her a space to be angry or sad or tired, I think Luisa looks up to them a lot
Camilo: I think Ris and Camilo love to cause trouble together, I think he sees them as The Cool Older Cousin and they’re one of the few people who can scold him and actually make an impression sgjskg, also he helps his dad teach Ris to dance (they need all the help they can get)
Mirabel: Ris thinks Mirabel’s connection to Casita is sooooo cool, and they’re the first person to suggest that the house chose her as Alma’s successor and the next matriarch, Mirabel thinks Ris is super cool and is one of the main people to help them explore their power more, but she thinks Ris and Isa’s crush on each other is obnoxious sgjskg
Antonio: Ris LOVES kids and gets along with Antonio really well!! they listen to him chatter on about animal facts, and Antonio helps them get comfortable with touch/contact again! Ris is really afraid to hurt him or his animals, but Antonio is a sweet and patient kid, I like to think one of the first times Ris controls their power and doesn’t inflict pain is when Antonio guides them to pet the jaguar

Hey I was wondering if you could make an encanto fic? I know the fandom is all mostly gone but I love the way you write these. It would be about Julieta getting wrecked by her siblings or sister. And please don’t feel obligated to do this. XD
Julieta’s tickle torture.
FINALLY!!! I promised I’d get it out and I shall do just that!!!!
(Btw, I know I said no Bruno but I GUESS it wouldn’t hurt to add him in a few times lol)
It was a normal day for the madrigals, doing chores, having fun and just living their ordinary lives.
Julieta however, remains a bit stressed because the madrigals are gonna have a few important guests (not the Guzmans, all my fics of Encanto usually tend to be after the movie timeline) coming over and julieta is stressed and planning how she can finish cooking quiet the meal just in time, she didn’t want to ask anyone for help because she didn’t want to disturb them.
Julieta: “hmm…so I can make the arepas first because they are easy, but I just don’t know about making like 30 arepas, arepas are easy but they just-“ *she was pacing back and forth*
Pepa: “julieta?” *she walked in the kitchen*
Julieta: *she smiled warmly at her sister* hey pepi! How can I help you?
Pepa: oh just heard some noises in here and I spotted you pacing around, you normally do it when you’re stressed so I just wanted to come in here and you know, help! *she smiled but soon it turned into a frown as she spotted a cloud above her head*
Pepa: ¡ay dios mío! Estas nubes nunca me dejarán en paz, como si lo jurara, creen que soy su madre o algo así!
*julieta burst to laughter*
Julieta: woah woah woah! Let’s maybe calm down. *she smiled and batted the cloud away* there we go! *she smiled*
Pepa: *sighs with a soft smile* thanks Juli. *she smiled and hugged her sister, julieta didn’t hesitate to hug back*
*bruno walked in*
Bruno: hey girls! Anyone got some arepas? The rats are hungry heh. *he chuckled nervously and rubbed his head*
Julieta: oh uhm, Bruno I think you’ll just have to give’em cheese, again…sorry Brunito…
Bruno: oh…okay that’s fine! Don’t even stress about it! Although, why? Any reason for they can’t eat arepas? I’m not saying I’m forcing you to make em it eat but I’m just asking out of curiosity and-
Pepa: she gets it Bruno. *she chuckled*
Bruno: oh, yeah okay. *he chuckled* oh uhm, Juli? You okay…?
*julieta was zoned out*
Pepa: julieta? Julieta? Helloooo! Earth to julieta!!!*she waved a hand infront of her face* no go. *she pouted in defeat*
Bruno: *smirked mischievously* unless… *he jumped and quickly gave julieta a quick sneeze to the side, making her yelp and jerk away*
Julieta: *yelps* Bruno! What was that for!?
Bruno: you okay?
Julieta: *sighs* yeah, I guess I’ve just been stressed with the guest coming, I don’t know if I’ll have enough time to make the food ready in time!! I don’t wanna ask anyone to help because I don’t wanna disturb them but it’s too much stress and I really wish I just had more time so I can prepare and-
*pepa and Bruno gave each other glance then smirked mischievously, as julieta was ranting on and on about her issue, she felt Pepa’s arms wrap around her, soon feeling Bruno’s ticklish fingers attack her stomach*
Julieta: what the- ehehahahahha! Eheheh! Hehehey! Stahhap hihit!! *she began squirming*
Pepa: oh no~ you gotta loosen up sis! Come on, some tickles won’t hurt~ get her brunito!
*bruno nodded and lifted her shirt up and began tickling her bare stomach*
Bruno: pepa is right julieta, you know? Maybe tickles is just what you need.
*they smirked and Bruno kept up his relentless tickles, he noticed how high pitched her laughter got. He looked up to see pepa digging her fingers in julieta’s armpits, Bruno shuddered a bit because pepa’s fingers were REALLY good at tickling, the nails just makes it worse*
Julieta: WHAHHAHAH! STAHAHAHP! *she squirmed and thrashed around*
*bruno and pepa had to tackle julieta to the ground and kept up their relentless teases and tickle attack*
Pepa: aww, am I getting a good spot?~
Bruno: never realized how ticklish your belly button is sis!
Pepa: julieta quit moving! I see crumbs from your cooking! *she giggles* let me get them!! (Obviously there were no crumbs)
Bruno: I wonder what happens if I were to *he blew a raspberry on her stomach*
*meanwhile with julieta*
Julieta: *squeal* STAHAHAHP! IHIHIHI CAHAHNT TAHAHEHKEHEH IHIHIT! PLEHAHASEHEHE!
Julieta: GHUHUHYSSS!! PFTAHAHAHAHAH! I- HEHEHEHAHAHA!
*pepa and bruno chuckled at their older sister’s reaction, knowing they are getting her real good, pepa face bruno and said*
Pepa: switch?
Bruno: switch.
*they switched places, now Bruno was getting her armpits and rubs while pepa was attacking her stomach and sides*
Julieta: BRUHUNOHOHO! STAHAHAP! *she yelps and Bruno dug his fingers in her armpits and used his beard to tickle her neck*
Bruno: nom nom nom!
Julieta: PEHEPEAHAH! IHIHI BEHEHEG!
Pepa: hmmm….yeah no. *she smirked and began scribbling her stomach*
At this point, poor julieta had tears in her eyes, they knew enough was enough so they stopped, allowing the lady to breath*
*julieta wasn’t hesitant to curl up into a ball and pant, her face flushed. Bruno and pepa gave each other a high five*
Pepa: you okay juli?
Julieta: *pant* yeah, I’m fine…
*bruno gave her a glass of water and she gladly took it and drank it*
Bruno: sorry if we went a tad far. *he chuckled*
Pepa: yeah, sorry about that.
Julieta: no worries, I actually needed that, what time is it by the way?
Pepa: *looked at the clock* uhm….around 1:24PM.
Julieta: WHAAAAT?!?! The guests will be here at 5!! And I’ve gotta get the empanadas and the-
Bruno: woah woah woah! Holds your rats! We’ll help!
Julieta: oh no, I can’t, it’s too much I- *she felt a hand over her shoulders*

Why did modern Luisa cut off the contacts with her family?
Well, she heard this little song called Surface Pressure—
No, Luisa cut off contact with everyone (besides Mirabel) due to a huge argument, very similar to the one in Encanto.
She realised a lot during the last few months at school. She had been extremely stressed and burnout throughout her last years, and had slowly wondered how necessary everything she was doing really was. In comparison to Isabela, Luisa felt she (and Mirabel) were/are really neglected by the family. The pair get dragged across Colombia for their sister’s beauty pageants, but if Luisa has a sports match or Mirabel is playing in a concert, they have to back out. Luisa was done playing second fiddle to someone who’s only skill is being pretty.
Finding a happier and chiller version of herself, Luisa cut most of her hair off; she dropped most of her activities, inside and outside of school; quit her part-time jobs; and decided not to apply for some sports course, instead deciding to pursue drama at college. (She didn’t tell anyone in the family she’d done all of that). She did originally intend to go abroad for higher education, but worried what would become of Mirabel if she wasn’t close by. And for legal reasons she couldn’t just take the girl with her. So instead, Luisa decided she’d move abroad with Mirabel once she had finished school.
As soon as college began (August), Luisa packed up and left, she didn’t really hang around which offended her parents and Abuela. Her first visit back (September), a huge fight ensues between herself and the rest of the family, where they realise what she’s been doing, and many hurtful things are said. Among which Luisa solely blames Abuela of ruining their lives and breaking the family, including Pepa and Bruno and Pedro, and Abuela kicks her out. She storms out (and doesn’t visit again until Mirabel’s birthday). Julieta and Agustín tried calling her, insisting she come back, so they could help her fix things with Alma. She later blocks everyone’s number.
Luisa is very happy and greatly enjoying college, and has no regret over any of her actions. Except maybe leaving Mirabel.

I feel like "strong silent type" was more true in the eddie from Before (s2, 3 and 4) where he was Mr repressed "pack it up and move on" "other people have it worse", but even then he was always supportive and full of advice and sage words for his loved ones. Eddie from Now is so open and honest he is practically frothing at the mouth to talk about his feelings and worries with anyone who will listen! S6 so far for eddie is just him talking feelings and philosophy with Chris, his dad, his mom, tia pepa, buck, hen, chim, bobby, athena, felisa etc etc. I think a lot of fandom is stuck in s3 eddie vibes and completely ignore his whole journey in s5 (especially the buck stans).
Eddie is now opening up and exploring who he really is, and who he really is is an emotional, compassionate gossip who puts so much effort and care into healthy communication. If anything I think buck is kind of a strong silent type. That man holds shit in so much and doesn't talk to anyone directly about his feelings STILL
all of this! buck is definitely more of a closed book than eddie is. buck says a lot, sure, but what he says doesn't really have much substance, when it comes to himself, or the way he feels (hence the 'i hid my true feelings from others' quote). i think we also tend to look at his tendency to react in an explosive manner when his loved ones are danger for and take it for granted that he's better with communicating those same emotions to them outside of high-stress situations, which he really, really isn't.

My Rainbow
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This took way too long, I have so much work ...
Rainbow — Arcoíris
🌈 ☀️ ⛈️ 🌈 ☀️ ⛈️ 🌈 ☀️ ⛈️ 🌈 ☀️ ⛈️
Pepa has been having a couple rough weeks.
She was acting moody — well, moodier than usual — and her weather was completely haywire.
There was hail and showers, snow mixed with wind, and sunshine with thunderstorms. She had no idea what was going on with her weather, and Mamá was starting to get on her case about how crazy it was.
Pepa didn’t want to deal with another lecture about how she had a cloud and about how she had to calm down and control herself.
Pepa sits down to the breakfast table, taking a sip of café con leche to get rid of the cloud hanging over her head. She had woken up alone this morning and feels like she had gotten no sleep at all.
“Pepa, estás bien?” Julieta asks, concerned. Her hermana stands by the doorway of the kitchen, keeping an eye on Pepa while simultaneously watching to see if Agustín burned himself while cooking again.
Julieta is now a couple months pregnant, a small bump showing from her blue dress, and Agustín— being the doting husband he is— refuses to have his wife stand on her feet and work all day while she is pregnant. So, he has decided to take up cooking to help her out, no matter how many burns he received.
“No,” Pepa grumbles as she takes a sip of café. Her cloud lightens, but traces still remain. “I didn’t get enough sleep last night. Dónde está Félix?”
“He went outside to garden,” Bruno says as he joins the table. Thankfully, he didn’t have any rats on him, but Pepa still scoots away.
Agustín pokes his head out and winces when he gets a look at each of them. “Dios, did the three of you get any sleep? I mean, I understand Juli not sleeping because of the baby, and she looks beautiful anyway …”
Julieta blushes and Pepa and Bruno glare at their cuñado, a dark cloud materializing over Pepa’s head again. She went to get another sip of her café, only to realize its empty.
Frustration bubbles in her blood and the wind picks up. Bruno glances over in concern. Julieta frowns as she notes her mood swing. “Pepa, you should eat something. Agustín is done.”
There is a yelp, a clatter, then a curse of “Miércoles!”
Julieta sighs, “Almost done.”
She disappears in the kitchen, and a moment later reappears with with the food, setting them down at their respective seats.
Pepa glances down at the plate, and her stomach churns. It was just a normal breakfast, and a delicious one at that, but suddenly Pepa feels sick. Normally, she had a light meal because of her nervous stomach, but now, looking at the food makes her want to throw up.
She has to eat, so her Mamá wouldn’t begin looking at her with frustration, so she wouldn’t have to lecture her about being a Madrigal and controlling herself, and then Pepa would be sent out to do her chores and get the weather all wrong, which would set Mamá in a bad mood again and Dios, where was Félix clear skies, clear skies—
“PEPA!” Her family shouts, and Pepa snaps out of her anxious tangent she see wind and snow rushing around the room in a blizzard.
She freezes, and the wind dies down to leave flurries of snow drifting in the air. Pepa shrinks in her seat as Julieta, Bruno, and Agustín stare at her worriedly.
“Pepa, are you okay?” Julieta asks gently.
Pepa squeezes her eyes shut and rubs her temples. “Sí … I’m just in a bad mood is all. Lately, I’ve been feeling really moody and nauseous, and I haven’t been able to sleep right. And you know how Mamá is during the crops season. I’ve been so stressed and if I have to hear one more lecture—”
“Family,” the warm voice of Alma cuts through the air, and they all freeze before scrambling to get into their seats.
They sit down just as the matriarch enters the room in a surprisingly good mood. She doesn’t even notice the clumps of snow on the floor as she heads for the table.
“I have wonderful news for all of you, and the future of the Encanto.” She turns towards Pepa, who instantly straightens. Her mamá’s eyes are warm and kind, unlike the usual stern look Pepa’s come to recognize.
“I am happy to announce that there is a new door is Casita.” Gasps filled the room and Casita clatters its confirmation. Alma nods, her eyes shining with pride and joy as she turns to her daughter.
“Congratulations, Pepi. We now have a new Madrigal in the family.”
Pepa’s jaw drops as all eyes turns to her, hardly able to breathe. She was pregnant?! Cómo … Cuando …
That explained her weather! Her mood swings, her nausea, her exhaustion. Not to mention when her and Félix—
Pepa stops, blushing, and her hands flutter down to her stomach.
A baby. A baby. Her baby— her and Félix’s.
Mamá is still droning on and on about La Familia Madrigal and the two new miracles and strengthening their community when Pepa abruptly stands up, mutters out an excuse, and rushes out of Casita.
She has to find Félix.
Fortunately, it doesn’t take very long, because as soon as she spots him, she calls out his name and races towards him, tackling him in a hug.
Félix laughs, spinning her around. “Qué paso, mi amor?”
“I’m going to have a baby,” Pepa says.
Félix’s mouth drops open and stares at his wife in disbelief. “Què?!?”
Pepa presses her lips together, a smile growing on her face as the sun glows brightly overhead. There’s no cloud in sight and for the first time the weather is clear.
“I’m pregnant,” she repeats. Her heart beats loudly as she watches her husband’s face turn blank, eyes growing round with shock as his gaze drops to her stomach.
“I’m going to be a papá?” Félix asks. A hesitant smile makes its way across his face.
Pepa beams, nodding her head as she blinks back tears of happiness.
Félix jumps forward and kisses her. Pepa laughs, smiling when Félix deepens the kiss and cups her face. Pepa fists his shirt, kissing him back.
The kiss feels like sunshine, bright and happy as their mouths move together.
Then it’s rain, heaviness growing in intensity like the onset of a downpour.
Then it feels like a thunderstorm, the anticipation building and building until the thunderous release of lightning cracks across the sky like a dazzling firework.
“Eh-hem,” someone clears their throat.
Pepa and Félix both pull away to see their family. Bruno crosses his arms in annoyance, and Pepa makes sure to send him a dirty look as well. Agustín is bashfully turned away, but could still be seen hiding a smirk. Julieta simply smiles, amusement glittering in her eyes.
“Having fun?” Julieta asks, making her way towards them.
Pepa rolls her eyes. “As a matter of fact, we were. Gracias, hermana.”
Julieta sticks her tongue out, retorting, “Por favor, you two will just break the bed later!”
Pepa gasps and Agustín lets out a horrified, “Juli!” as Félix and Bruno burst out laughing.
Pepa turns red, fogging over in embarrassment as her hermana laughs before pulling her in for a hug.
“Anyway, we just wanted to say congratulations — you ran away so fast we weren’t able to tell you.” Juli says and Bruno steps forward, smiling awkwardly.
Pepa returns the gesture. Things have been tense since the incident where Bruno made her create the biggest hurricane Encanto has ever seen on her wedding day, and Juli has often had to come in and play peacekeeper.
“Sí,” Bruno says. “Felicidades.”
Pepa nodded. “Gracias.”
There’s a beat, and Bruno deflates when he realizes that she’s going to say nothing more. Pepa feels a bit bad, but stubbornly kept her mouth shut. Thankfully, her husband swoops in before things could get awkward.
He claps a hand on Bruno’s back, nearly knocking him over with a yelp as his other arm comes around Agustín. “We’re to be tíos, hermanos,” he says. He looks over at Agustín, chest swelling. “We’re going to be papás.”
“Let’s just pray Agustín’s baby won’t be as clumsy as him,” Bruno says.
The man gasps and splutters indignantly as his family laughs. Julieta punches Bruno in the shoulder. “Ah, cállate. Our bebé is going to be perfect no matter who she takes after.”
Agustín beams, swelling with pride as he stares at his wife. She blinks back affectionately.
Pepa rolls her eyes at the sight, a smile tugging at her lips. Dios Mío, and they say we’re bad.
At the thought, she turns around to find her husband’s eyes already on her. Something in her heart tugs. It’s the way Félix just looks up at her— with pure adoration, like she’s the most wonderful thing in the world. He looks at her like the man seeing the sun for the first time, and kisses her like its his last day on earth.
His hand finds her stomach, the size swallowing it. There is a small bump— practically unnoticeable— but it’s there, and it’s theirs. Pepa can’t help but lean down to kiss him, and he leans up to kiss her back.
“Ugh, seriously?! I’m surrounded by couples!”
“No problema, amigo. I can always set you up with someone in town—”
“Dios Mío, no!”
🌈 ☀️ ⛈️ 🌈 ☀️ ⛈️ 🌈 ☀️ ⛈️ 🌈 ☀️ ⛈️
The first time Pepa sees her child, she knew it had all been worth it.
Despite all the clouds and thundering and snow and the hurricanes, it has been worth it from the beginning because—
Dolores Adríana Madrigal is the most beautiful baby girl in the whole world.
(Agustín might disagree because of Isabela, but that didn't matter.)
She had bright eyes and beautiful curls just like her papá. She is just the perfect mix of Pepa and Félix as she slept in the little red blanket Julieta made her.
Dolores was a quiet baby for the most part, only crying when she wasn't being held and screaming when she was left alone. When they held her she let out soft gurgles as she stared at them curiously with big, brown eyes.
Pepa fell in love the instant she saw her. She could tell that Félix felt the same way too, from the broad smile that split his face whenever he saw his daughter.
Mamá’s lips move in prayer as she stares at her second nieta and clutch the pendant that held her husband. Agustín and Julieta lean over to see with baby Isabela, huge smiles on their faces.
Bruno makes a snarky comment about how Dolores will probably be as emotional as her mother, and Pepa would have struck him down that instant if she hadn't noticed the tears falling down his face as he cries for his sobrina.
Félix keeps on pressing kisses on her face mumbling out endearments of mi vida, mi amor as Pepa hardly breathes, cradling their daughter.
Outside, the labor-induced hurricane slows as the sun tentatively peeks from the clouds.
She loves her.
Pepa gasps, then sobs in delight and happiness as the feeling hits her like a bolt of lightning; striking and electric and fierce as her heart pounds against her chest.
The sun shines, light fracturing off the dew to create the most beautiful rainbow over the Encanto, over Casita, over Pepa — over Dolores.
It is the happiest she’s ever been in her life.
