A wild chapter six appears! Bruno has a vision, Pepa has angst,and the author has a plan to get this done before the next Encantober, honest.

In honor of [checks notes] Encantober Day # 198, Chapter 5 is up.

Better late than never, right?

Chapter 6 is up!

Chapter 5 is up and we are in! The! Walls!

Chapter 4 is up! (Chapter 5 will be longer.)

Chapter 4 is up! We meet a new supporting character and discover that the mysterious stranger is keeping a secret of her own.

Chapter 3 is up! A wild [redacted] appears!

Chapter 3 is up!

We don’t talk about Pepa, no no no We don’t talk about Pepa! But,

Chapter 2 of the parentified-Bruno AU is up!

Pepa wants to follow her heart. Unfortunately, that's hard to do when your brother can see the future and your mother is... Alma.

Mirabel is sick. Bruno tells her his favorite story.

Why did Tía Pepa leave the Encanto, and what does that have to do with whatever is hurting the magic? Mirabel looks for answers to the mystery.

An Encantober AU where Bruno is the parentified sibling instead of Julieta, and Pepa can't take it anymore.

“My Tío Bruno can see the future,

When he has visions, whoa, the atmosphere gets weird! My Tía Pepa—”

“We don’t talk about Pepa!”

“...She could change the weather, until she disappeared.”

Wild Dogs see a Domesticated Dog

I can never reblog that one post that's like "what fictional food did you desperately want to eat as a child " bc I had this dinosaur book as a kid and in the book there was this illustration of a T. Rex eviscerating a Triceratops and feasting on its remains and it looked like it was having such a good time with the triceratops carcass that I would have traded anything to be that T. Rex. And I can't just add that to a random stranger's post

A friend of mine bought her first house alone after 30-some years of living with other people who made the rules, and she kept asking me questions like this. "Can I just tear out the carpet?" "Can I just take down the window coverings?" Finally she asked me, "Do I have to paint the door white? What if I wanted it to be blue or something?"

I said, "Well, you can, but you'll have to pay a small fine at the county office."

"Really?"

"NO! It's your door! You paint it blue if you want it blue and nobody can tell you not to!"*

To this day, we both give ourselves permission to do things that our brains are uncertain about by saying, "Eh, if it comes to it, I'll pay a small fine at the county office."

*No HOA in her neighborhood, obviously. YMMV.

me doing normal human activities: is this allowed? is this allowed? am i allowed to do this? is this allowed? i don’t want to get in trouble can i do this is this allowed?
