why waiting on a miracle is one of my favorite (and one of the most underrated) encanto songs:
Tumblr media
So this song in my humble opinion is one of the most under appreciated songs from the movie so I’m here to give it some appreciation! (Also the irony of the song being about being ignored and overlooked and that’s exactly what happened)
So waiting on a miracle is the classic “disney I want song” but to me this song is so much more than that. One thing that sticks out to me immediately is the fact unlike most I want songs, mirabel isn’t singing about wanting more than she already has shes singing about something she lacks but SHOULD have already. From the title most people gathered that she wants a magical gift like the rest of her family and whilst that is true I find it profound that it’s not the magic for the sake of magic she wants. It’s the appreciation from her family. All she wants is to contribute and fit in and she feels the only way she can do that is if she gets a gift. It’s also important to note unlike most I want songs mirabel doesn’t get *exactly* what she wants at the end which she mentions is a miracle. She does however end up getting her ultimate goal which is the acceptance and she doesn’t need a miracle to do that. Also with the title being “waiting on a miracle” a miracle is rare it’s thought to be something almost impossible or not even real. So for mirabels I want song to be about this shows that even she herself is aware it’s literally an impossible ask but she’s just dreaming of the possibilities if she got something as rare as a miracle.
I also found the instrumental quite genius as some have already pointed out all the madrigal songs are in 4/4 time… except this one. Waiting on a miracle is in 3/4 time as yet another subtle way to show she’s out of place. as lin manuel himself said “she’s literally out of beat with the rest of her family” so thanks for that lin the song was already sad enough but you just had to do that👍
also congratulations to mirabel for being one of the few disney characters to actually say when they aren’t ok “I’m not fineeee” I know that seems minuscule but it’s so refreshing to hear a character actually express that they are feeling negative emotions and it’s ok to express that. Especially since bottling up emotions is so common nowadays it’s a good message for the next generation <3
also waiting on a miracle kinda sorta predicts the whole movie? “I would move the mountains, make new trees and flowers grow” “I would heal whats broken show this family something new” she ended up achieving all of that in the movie’ 1. The mountains split when the house was collapsing. 2. She helped isabela discover what else she could do thus making new trees and flowers grow. 3. She basically healed the entire family which is what was broken and she showed them all they are enough without gifts! So that’s just a nice little bit of foreshadowing.
Ok now back to the sad stuff! in the lyric “I would heal whats broken” turns out she’s not referring to the entire family but herself. She views herself as broken because she didn’t get a gift and she wants to fix herself 💔 another lyric to note is “cant keep down the unspoken invisible pain” a lot of people talk about how inconsiderate the madrigals are towards mirabel but the thing is they don’t realize how it effects her. We know she can put on a hell of an act (see family madrigal song) and she herself refers to her pain as “invisible” she’s hiding it from everyone so they don’t realize how badly she’s hurting because she puts on the whole optimistic act. So another way the movie demonstrates the communication issues within the family.
And how can I forget mirabel literally telling herself at the beginning “dont be upset or mad at all” she’s quite literally telling herself to not feel those things that she’s “totally fine” I also love the fact the music is in the tune of “the family madrigal” up until she says “I’m not fine” I just thought that was a cool detail!
I’ve seen people complain about “open your eyes” x3 because it doesn’t get any louder or higher it just stays the same. Well there’s actually a reason for that! the song is called waiting on a miracle, mirabel is stuck in that position. She’s stuck waiting. It’s also important to note that the visual of her begging to her abuela to “open her eyes” and not being noticed implies that she’s been trying for a long time to be noticed but she keeps being stuck.
Also shoutout to Stephanie beatriz for the amazing acting because I could FEEL the emotion and the passion. and yes I know it’s because she’s in labour but I also believe even if she wasn’t in labour the song would still sound emotional as stephanie is a really great actress! I believe in an interview she stated she wanted to perform this song like it’s the first time mirabel is expressing these feelings to herself. Basically yeah that’s true she had been lying to herself for a decade and finally she decides to admit to herself she’s not fine she’s not happy and she wants a change. The voice crack on “I’m not fine” is actually heartbreaking and this is the moment her facade breaks entirely, and I love the vocal cry she does on “longing to shine like all of you shine” it’s just these little vocal details that add so much to the song and make it so powerful
I’ve also seen people complaining this song isn’t “belty” enough but it’s just not that type of song! mirabel is stuck in her position and if you notice in a lot of Disney movies once it reaches the climax of the i want song the protagonist comes to a decision of sorts. Take “how far I’ll go for example” she decides she’s going to sail beyond the reef and the music climaxes, she also has the triumphant high note at the end. Waiting on a miracle unlike how far I’ll go is NOT a triumphant song. The music does climax but only to emphasize mirabels false hope as she’s saying all the things she would do.
with the high note I firmly believe that there’s only one significant high note at the end for a particular reason. Like I said above usually high notes in Disney songs symbolize achievement or a sense of strength found. Mirabels high note has the opposite effect. She’s quite literally begging for a miracle in desperation only to realize she’s wishing for a fantasy. “Am I too late for a miracle” is the line the song ends on and the visual is important here too. We see the fireworks fade away and mirabel is left standing alone in the dark because it was all in her mind. (Looking at you “mirabels gift is time stopping” theorists)
So yeah I find this song to be quite unique and raw for an I want song and I think the “vent” aspect of it is what makes me appreciate it even more. It’s not sugar coated. To quote stephanie beatriz herself: “real, human, imperfect, yearning to belong and hoping for something beyond what she sees in herself: an expression of hope and fear, all wrapped in teen angst.”
Tumblr media
So uh go stream waiting on a miracle because it’s a great song 👍(also yes this rant is a mess I’m terrible at articulating my feelings on songs but it’s also just for fun I’m like not a professional lmao)

Sometimes, I wish I was worth the risk too. That somewhere, someone out there would pursue me and make me the only exception despite all the odds.

I have something to bring up with the woso community.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
WHY IS SHE SO UNDERRATED??????????????
I would like everyone to write me a formal essay regarding why we don't talk about her more.
The fact she made her debut THIS TIME LAST YEAR and played every single minute for the Matildas during the World Cup.
We need a full investigation on why this QUEEN is so underappreciated.

"reki is a boring mc because he's not crazy good at skating, while langa is. langa should be the mc"
erm ackshually 🤓☝that's the whole point of reki's character development. he's medicore at skating but still finds passion in it, and he loves teaching langa the basics. however, when its clear that langa is a whole lot better even as a rookie and no one is paying attention to reki, he starts becoming depressed and his negative thoughts drive him away from his friends, especially langa. he thinks that since langa is so good and everyone loves him, no one needs him around anymore. his main character role in this anime is based off "a side character" for a reason, and even though the show is about skateboarding, it does a great and informative deep dive into depression. reki is a mc that has deep character development, and i see him as one of the best mcs in anime, even though the show isn't as popular as one piece or demonslayer.
also, if reki was really good at skating, then people would call him a basic and boring mc. double standards.

One RDR2 character that isn’t talked about nearly enough is Reverend Orville Swanson!!!
When we first see him in the earlier chapters, specifically the mission “Who is Not Without Sin” which takes place during Ch.2, we’re introduced to this intoxicated man. Initially, the audience was given the impression that he’s nothing more than a no good drunk. It’s clear what the other members of camp feel in regards to him too. Swanson can be caught begging Strauss to lend him money (namely to fund his addictions), and if the player chooses to look at his bible.. they’ll realise it’s actually a painted box in which Orville keeps his drugs/alcohol.
However, as the chapters progress, it becomes evident that Reverend is bettering himself as a person. This is obvious around late Ch.5 (after returning from Guarma) to the entirety of Ch.6, especially as he can be caught talking about and reflecting on his own self improvement during a conversation with Strauss.
At the end of the mission “The Fine Art of Conversation”, provided that the player hasn’t completed “Of Men and Angels”, Swanson talks with Arthur at the train station and shares with him that he is a changed man. He also claims that he was able to see through Dutch and his true nature, stating how he won’t die for “nonsense spouted by a fool”.
In a time where everything around him was going wrong, when the gang was disbanding and Dutch was beginning to show his true colours as a person, Reverend Swanson managed to sober up and better himself. He went on to be successful, moving away and becoming the minister of the First Congregational Church of New York.
I think he deserves more appreciation and love :)

Every misplaced effort is underappreciated, and every unappreciated effort is a waste.

Underappreciated BG3 characters that don't get the love they deserve, in no particular order (no spoilers, long post warning)
Volo
Tumblr media
No thoughts, head empty, zero planning skills. This man is completely stupid, a daft fool, an idiot of the ages, but has the charisma and charm to pull it off. Plus he has amazing facial hair and outfit. I do wish he had more lines and more stuff to do.
Withers
Tumblr media
Adore him. His diction, his ye olde anglic language. He is an absolute freak and knows it and goes all in on that. He's like a grandpa that doesn't give a shit anymore and is very friendly in his own weird way and if you don't like it, it's your problem. Same problem as with Volo though. I want more of the Jerky-Man.
Mizora
Tumblr media
THS ABSOLUTE BITCH! THIS TOTAL CUNT! Every time she appears you are in for a bad time or an impossible choice, but it's always a spectacle. An absolute joy on screen, but a total nightmare for the party. She's just so delightfully evil and it's great to watch her serve cunt in the most diabolical way possible.
Jaheira
Tumblr media
OG BG Grandma doesn't get enough respect. I know that she arrives relatively late in the story, when you already have a druid, but that's no reason to ignore her, people. She has such juicy dialogue and reminds me of Wynne from DA:O, only a little bit more jaded and with a hairstyle that fucks severly. A true diamond in the rough of a character.
Barcus Wroot
Tumblr media
Barcus Wroot is a hero. In this house we stan Barcus Wroot. He may be not as fun as some more flashy characters, but he's definitely one of the most heroic ones. Naive, timid and good hearted to a fault, he repeatedly decides to face great dangers only to be berated again and again, and yet he still does good things, simply because it's right. A true loser turned hero, unappreciated by many. But not me.
Isobel
Tumblr media
I have a big crush on Isobel. To say anything more about her would break my no spoilers pledge, so let's leave it at that.

I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone talking about the part in the book [ch. 13, pg. 353] where Henry's grandmother is like, "You are to produce heirs."
Alex pipes right in with, "We could still do that."
And Henry chokes in his seat.

hi abl!! i got really curious from your recent reposts/asks about dna says about the "twist" in ep 9, and started watching it... i will also not say much about it and spoil the show, but they werent actually subtle with the reveal in my opinion. it was very obvious when the immediately cut to the past and the present. i really loved how they resolved it by the end and i gotta say i got really vary of taiwan shows after history 4 so didnt follow up much but i was pleasantly surprised with DNA and it was a very cute show!! i guess all i wanted to say was thanks for talking about it!!
I am so glad you enjoyed it! And decided to give it a try.
DNA Says Love You is worth it everyone! I promise!
