I forgot why but I drew @alexdrawsagain sona “Al” being harassed by the trio of Phanty, Grufty and Susie and I had to resolve it with those old hostess fruit pies.
edit: I accidentally tagged @alvhomega in this comic. That was incorrect. I am sorry. He’s still one of my buddies, tho, so please check out his gallery

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