guess whose turn is it for the sister trilogy posts <3
like the previous two posts i made about some realizations during the songs [the sister (heh) posts: waiting on a miracle & surface pressure & sister angst], this might have already been pointed out by other people in the past and it's probably really obvious anyway, but i might as well bring it up again because god i love this movie
something a friend and i noticed is mirabel looking at isabela longingly and was reaching out to her in waiting on a miracle
she retracts it then, of course, but...in the end, in what else can i do...
here, mirabel's able to understand a little more
and because of that, she's able to reach out to her oldest sister
she's able to do that and so much more
and with mirabel reaching out, isabela reaches back too :')
i love them sm, i love this movie sm

cant believe people are still arguing on if camilo and isabela were trying to save the candle or mirabel. Me personally, I always interpreted it as they were both going for the candle so she wouldn’t have to. They were saving the candle and at the same time saving mirabel. Like they wouldn’t just be like fuck u mirabel and save the candle they were trying to prevent her from being hurt😭

I drew some sonic isat characters as well. Drawing in the sonic style helps soothe my anxiety for some reason so this was fun. I'll do more later maybe

Someone mentioned fae being possessive on my selkie siffrin agenda post so may I present: regular fae Siffrin.
Has no home to go back to. Someone stole it from him (or from everyone) through a deal, or by trickery, or with some unknown bit of magic. No memories, nothing. He wanders, with riddles in his brain and no purpose to speak of.
And then he finds the saviors of Vaugarde.
They are good people. And their people are also good. And he wants that, desperately.
He wants to offer than food. Wants to make them promise never to leave. Wants to tie them to him with mushroom rings and words and things that normal humans don't do.
Siffrin doesn't, because they know that isn't what normal humans do. And they don't want their friends to leave them. They want to be loved.
But eventually, their friends will leave them.
And Siffrin struggles not to keep them in ways that only the fae could.
Alternatively Siffrin is a changeling child but they were switched way late in their life and lost all their memories of home. All they know is that they were unwanted (by both families).

Re-watching Encanto only ends two ways: crying while wishing for your generational trauma to be mended, and singing along

You've got suckers luck... Have you given up?
Does it feel like a trial?
Does it trouble your mind the way you trouble mine?

(NOTE: just to be clear I'm not bashing any of the three characters I mentioned. I just found it interesting how she's been pushed away from the family members that she has a lot in common with.)
Isn't it crazy how Mirabel is connected Alma, Bruno, and Pedro? All three of key figures in the Madrigal family plotwise?
Mirabel has Alma's loyalty and love for the family, which emboldens her to have the courage to make hard decisions that no one might agree with, and yet this trait that she shares with Alma is—ironically enough—what drove them further apart from one another throughout the length of the movie.
Like Bruno, she's treated as the black sheep of the family due to her lack of gift. This shared connection of being the "dirty secret" of the family causes Bruno to go into hiding for her safety, but despite his best intentions, him hiding away is actually what makes Mirabel's situation worse in the long run because he disappears on top of everything else that was going on with her.
And with Pedro, she is referred to as his "gift" to the family, their one last miracle from their savior. They share the same courage that urges them to protect the family, but it is this same courage that causes Pedro to lose his life.
What I'm trying to say here is, despite having so much in common with these people, they almost always end up leaving her behind. And while it's true that Pedro's death isn't directly connected to her, Alma feared the implications of Mirabel's giftlessness because it could be a sign that the Miracle is fading—that the thing that gave Pedro's death meaning would one day disappear. In the end, this causes her to isolate Mirabel from the family due to her strange lack of connection to the Candle, which Alma connects back to Pedro.
At this point, Mirabel has already been disconnected to three key figures in her family from childhood. If Encanto had been a different genre, Mirabel would've been a character doomed by the narrative 😔
