She was fine. Of course she was fine. What did she possibly have to complain about?

She was Isabela Madrigal with the perfect Gift, perfect hair and clothes. She had the perfect family and the perfect boyfriend.

Isabela was perfect and that made everyone happy. So why did she feel so on edge? Why couldn’t she stop her ridiculous daydreams of trying something new? She didn’t need new. The family certainly didn’t need her to act so foolish.

She’d be fine.

A study in the growth of Isabela Madrigal: from roses to cacti, and all the anxiety in between.

''What is he doing ?''

''Oh right, it's for the house.''

For the alternate ending of Mamabel AU, does the village hate the Madrigals and would try to banish them except Antonio (and I believe Bruno as well?)

Hello hello!

So, for an alternative ending yes! I would say this would best fit the Evil!Antonio ending. Not only did the Madrigals get kill Mirabel, but they also caused 31 kids to lose their second mother (ONLY mother in some cases) and 2 tios to lose their favorite sobrina.

The village ADORES Mirabel in this AU--after all, "It takes a village to raise a child" right? Well this village contributed a lot in Mirabel's life, and many of them got emotionally attached to her. And once they find out she's gone?

That's not gonna fly well with them.

So, leaving only Antonio and Bruno, the village would either banish them, or severely isolate them. Banishment speaks for itself--But in the scenario where they are isolated, this would happen:

The Madrigals would live in a small, isolated house; its further than even the farthest outskirts of town. The house is just barely big enough to fit them all--- just barely. Its not sentient, so they'll have to get used to that. They also don't have their Gifts, so they'll have to get use to doing everything themselves.

The village would activately keep Antonio and Bruno away from them. Because of Mirabel, Bruno was reintroduced into the village, and he helps out whenever he can.

I hope this answered your ask, I love Villagers doting on Mirabel and Antonio and beige nice to Bruno.

Feel free to send in asks for Mamabel, Papatonio, Housebroken, Mermay, or any other AU you find on this blog!

I also take art suggestions for these aus, including Cocooned!

If you have an AU idea, send it it, and I'll expand on it best I can!

Chapter 5 of Forget Me Not is up!

*Villagers crowding in front of Casita*

Alma: Is there any problem?

Old Arturo: Señora, there's donkeys missing all over the town. It's worrying

Alma: This is unacceptable, we will deal with the problem

Luisa comes out, heading a whole herd of donkeys

A bunch of townspeople: Hey, that's my donkey!

Alma, confused: Luisa, did you..

Luisa: Oh, yes

Luisa: Everyone! I'm going into Colombia dance tour! I'm taking your donkeys as my back dancers team

Stealing that last post’s idea but in reverse: FIC AUTHORS!! Reblog and put in the tags which fic you wrote this year that was the most important/impactful/just your favorite!! WIPs/unfinished fics count!!

The thing is, we don't actually know how many people live in the Encanto. We know all those people fled with Alma and Pedro and have thrived ever since. That's it.

We don't know how big Alma's home village was. We don't know how many of its inhabitants fled with her into the Encanto - maybe it was a big village but half the people ran the other way. We don't know how many people besides Pedro got killed on the way there. We don't know if the Encanto's original population was solely refugees from Alma's village or if other people from neighboring towns got caught up in it, since we don't know anything about the attack - if this was a singular raid by a few bandits or a more centralized attack by several dozen, or more, soldiers. We don't know what the birth rate in the Encanto is. We do know that people can go in and out, like Agustin who wasn't born in the Encanto, but we don't know how rare or common it is, and we don't know how many people would have left or entered. We do know that the death rate in the Encanto is presumably lower than outside, though, since I'm assuming hardly anyone dies from illness or injury thanks to Julieta.

So basically, there are totally valid grounds from imagining the population as anywhere from less than a hundred to several hundred people.

Elena meets the villagers: Javier “Javi” Rivera

Javier Rivera is an old friend of the Madrigal family, being a constant patient of Julieta when he was a sickly child. So he was excited to give back to the Madrigal family with his craft. Javier is a sweet, energetic soul and a talented wood carver.

Javi belongs to @sionnaach

one thing I want to see in future potential encanto content is PETTY BRUNO! we got a glimpse of it when he mentioned fish lady but I want more. Bruno deserves some petty moments !!!

*

Her triplets were watching her raptly. Julieta had a hand on her heart, a sweet smile on her face. Bruno tilted his head curiously, his smile growing as if to silently encourage Alma to continue. Pepa sniffled, a little cloud above her head, a rainbow peeking out from behind it.

“That’s so sweet,” Pepa murmured.

“It was,” Alma agreed. “It wasn’t anything dramatic or ground-shaking. It was just…” A connection. A boy and a girl, enjoying each other’s company. Something special clicking into place.

“We connected,” Alma said. “Speaking with Pedro was as easy as breathing. It felt like speaking with an old friend. As if we knew each other for a long time.”

As if a piece of her heart said, Oh, there you are. I’ve been looking all over for you.

Alma and the triplets discuss Pedro. Isabela works on her new dress as storm clouds herald the impending arrival of newcomers...

So it's been years and I still think the villagers/townspeople in Encanto suck l, particularly for their treatment of Mirabel, Bruno and, possibly most of all, Luisa. I also think they contributed to the pressure Isabela felt to be perfect. Also they used Camilo to looka fter their kids. I really hope that was more of a he's a teenager now since some teenagers do babysit but even then I can imagine they used Camilo for ridiculous things. Also I have a vendetta against donkey guy because why was Luisa the one getting his donkeys back when they escaped? This happened multiple times since he says the donkeys got out again. So your lazy and neglectful of your donkeys so they can escape multiple times, and when you do you push the responsibility onto Luisa to get them back. No. I'm sorry this family gets taken advantage of so much. And then they have the gall to get annoyed and scared of Bruno when they, presumably, asked him what their future was and simply didn't like what they were told. Also I feel like some of those futures were preventable and they simply didn't. So yeah. Also "he told me my fish would die the next day dead". Why was this surprising? Fish have short lifespans, don't they? Also, yeah your fish will die. All animals die. Why do you act like this is surprising or wouldn't have happened if Bruno didn't say it. I actually think all these people are so dumb because they've gotten used to people doing stuff for them. But they still suck for taking advantage of teenagers and children and pushing their responsibilities onto them.

RE Mirabel au, could we have Ethan surviving after Miranda's death?

Bro was hanging on by a thread tbh 😭😭

y'all brunofied dolores ngl

blaming her for hearing things out of her controll and get mad with her for speaking the truth and making her a villan.👀

Headcanon: After the mountains cracked and people from the outside word started to move into Encanto, the village was engulfed in epidemics. In closed community there was no way for infections to get in, which leaded for a very weak immunity of the villagers. People under forty most likely never even had a simple cold.

So when the gates were open? It was a catastrophe

I just imagine something cute!

You know that family tree in the kitchen? What if Dolores has the same thing in her room but with Mariano and her kids?

Bisabuela Rosa at the top of the tree. Mariano + Dolores in the middle. And the children start from youngest to oldest, Starting with Diego to Victorio.

Also, here's a few picrews you can use to design the kids (if you'd like) -

Bighead kid picrew

Pixel friend

Makowka character maker

And some from books + movie

AAA THAT IS ADORABLEEEEE!! I will definitely make one after I have the design for every kid!!

New kids unlocked!!! And lore 💪

Okay firstly the tree kids, the one in the front, frisco segundo madrigal and her brother, vicenta segundo madrigal (decided to make them siblings since they look alike to be siblings 👍) their sister (who was their step sister in their past family) Patricia ortuno madrigal!! They lived in a not so great household, often having to take care of themselves since their parents didn’t care, they didn’t get parental love neither did they get cared for good, their parents ended up in jail from some fight and since then Dolores took care of them!! (She basically did before but now they live with her) all of them are 5 year olds!

The two girls wanted their hair to be like Dolores!! Also some earrings :D and Camilo showed vicenta some outfits he might like, which he loved!!

Onto the nexttt, the ginger head is rafaela lazcano madrigal!! He is an orphan, he was in a lot of foster homes, some great and some awful, in the end he got adopted by Dolores since his past foster family was not so great and he also hated hopping into a new foster home every few weeks. He is 7 year old!!

Esmerelda Jerez madrigal!! She did have a parent who cared (her father) who then later on left, her mother didn’t like her since birth since she claimed that esmerelda wasnt her child. Esmerelda actually came from an other town!! Since her mother had left her in this town alone and then left without her. Ofc, Dolores who heard all of this immediately went to her, and now she lives with Dolores :D she is 8 years old!!

Leandra henriquez madrigal! Was the neighbor from Mariano, his parents always left him alone at home, leaving leandra with no food, no money, no nothing. Mariano noticed it and started to take care of him, later on Dolores joined too. He firstly was hesitating (he struggles a lot with anondment issue like Esmerelda) but then he opened up, they took care of him till they fully took him in! (His parents never came home after one night.) He looks up to Mariano a lot and hopes to become a lot like him. He also is 8 years old!

Camilo trying to make fun of Camilo but it just ended up being humiliating for him!! (He couldn’t rafeala for more than 3 seconds) leandra is getting impressed by how strong he is and Esmeralda is admiring mirabels sewing skills!!

The last one is the two siblings, Bronco and Almira socarras madrigal!! (Decided to switch the names with ages) Bronco, who is a curious 3 year old, and his baby sister almira. The 1 year old almira takes a lot from his brother, their curiousy takes Dolores a whole level away!! Their parents didn’t care much about them, mostly letting them outside in the garden not knowing the danger (Dolores had to save them multiple times,) and only doing stuff with them when it comes over to fame. (They care a lot about how people judge them.) In the end, the house was in a fire, dolores safely secured them before any real harm happened. Luckily it was just some scars but it was still very traumatic for them.

Bronco loves candy, but Dolores doesn’t let him eat that much since he’s got a small stomach which gets bad fastly but his Abuela makes sure he gets some daily ;)

Almira loves admiring and touching faces (mostly Dolores’s and isabela’s :D) she’s very curious!!

Thanks a lot for the suggestions!!🩵

Nothing like finding Kristoff cheating on Anna 🤣
