I am the eldest of three. I never meant to hurt you. well there definitely were times i meant to hurt you but not in this way.
i was the eldest, i had to set a good example. I had to be good at school, at family events, at hobbies. i had to be talented and charming and be a shining example of how to behave. i had to look after you. i didnt want to. i wanted to run about and be annoying and be bad at things. but i had to be good. and then i liked being good at things. i became better, i became the best. then we grew up. they asked you why you werent as good as me. why arent you going to university like your sister, your sister got a job why havent you? your sister is far away where we cant reach her so we have to focus all of our attention on you two. and when i come home they love me so much more. i'm so sorry. i don't mean to be an event.
you don't blame me. thank you. i'm sorry for how they treat you, i'm sorry you can't come with me. i love sitting in the car when you drive and we talk about all the shit we endured, reminding each other of the traumas we forgot. you are me. you are what i could've been, and i the same for you. we get it. you will understand me more than anyone else. you are everything to me. come home. i miss you.
and there's the youngest, no one knows what to make of him. we love him, we try to help him, we don't know how. he hasn't been here as long as we have, but someday we will get it. you're ready to give up on him, i remember being there with you.
i watched Encanto and i saw us. Our mother the healer, our dad the idiot, myself the perfect bitch, you the strongest woman on earth, and Mirabel the one who doesn't fit quite right. i hope we repair our cracks someday

Meet the Diaz Family p2
———
Previous
———
This… new life, essentially, had become so dear, possibly way to fast.
But how could it not? No visions, no pressure from his mother, no hate or distrust and fear from the villagers? A niece that loves him? How could Bruno ever dislike it.
With Mirabel quickly gaining traction as a seamstress and Bruno’s own plays gathering attention, they decided they couldn’t stay at the inn forever.
It had taken them a couple months but eventually Mirabel and Bruno had saved up enough that they could afford an actual place to live. So they went looking and found a small, affordable, little house.
Bruno won’t lie, going from living in Casita to a normal place is a huge change- but one he couldn’t be happier to have made. The house was small sure, but it was perfect.
“And most importantly, Tío! It’s ours!” His niece had told him when they moved in. And now, looking at the walls filled with trinkets and covers for his plays or the photos and fabric messes that had yet to be cleaned from his nieces most recent creative spike. It was. It was their home, his home.
He hummed happily as he worked on his next play. The little old ladies that originally were the only ones who saw them asked about a new ratnovela.
Sure nowadays he has actual actors as he got hired by the theatre but during the monthly meeting with them he always runs by new ideas. And besides, the rats love to do them.
Not only that but they let him coo about his niece as they all do the same with their children and, in some cases, grandchildren.
Honestly, he loved it. And Sophie’s apple pie is a bonus.
So it’s not surprising that when he went to the meeting and they were talking about how a person was going around looking for someone named Madrigal, he nearly choked.
Bruno excused himself from the group far earlier, saying he wanted to get his niece something for working so hard. They all nodded and as he left he tried to ignore the knowing look in Widowed Delores, who he knew was older than even his own mother.
He had to tell Mirabel and warn her.
—-
Louisa couldn’t handle it. Everything was so different and everyone was staring at her. When she helped a man up and fixed his cart they all looked at her different and she couldn’t understand why.
But she had a job to do. She was gonna find her little sister.
“Please, her name’s Mirabel Madrigal, have you seen her?” She had asked and asked and asked with no luck.
Her hermanita had disappeared and no one knew where she went. They hadn’t even noticed for days! That was when Louisa realized that her family might not be as great as everyone in Encanto had said.
For it to have driven not one but two of their own out, they couldn’t be great- hardly even good in her opinion.
-
Louisa had been traveling for a while now when she stumbled into a village that boasted about their theatre and seamsters. She helped out an inn owner and he said she could stay for a night free. She had thanked him.
She went up and delicately moved around before sitting on the bed to eat some of the food her mother packed her.
Soon after she fell asleep.
-
When morning came, Louisa ate and immediately set out to work- after she thanked the owner again.
“Again, I would not have been able to get my cart back without a horse. Thank you.” And those words made her feel fuzzy.
None of the villagers in Encanto has thanked her as sincerely in years. She wants to cry.
She doesn’t.
But she does ask around.
It’s near midday when she spots a boutique. Maybe it’s the fact that Mirabel loved- loves- sewing, but she walked in.
Her heart stops.
“Hello! Welcome to Cloth Dreams how may I- LOUISA?”
“Mirabel.” She breathed out. Louisa’s done it. She found her baby sis-
“MIRABEL THEY’RE LOOKING FOR US!” Louisa turns to the voice instinctively- and oh. She’s found Uncle Bruno too.

Ok, I just wanna say, I legit LOVE your versions of Hades and Persephone's Children SO MUCH! HadesXPersephone is My All-Time Most Favorite Mythological Pairing ever! 💙💖💀🌺I especially love their Children ^w^
Also, quick question, how did Abuela felt about his Granddaughters (The Madrigal Sisters trio) about having their own lovers? Ya know, Katashi, Alena, and Deicoon being soon to be Abuela's Grandchildren-In-Laws?
Thanks.
I’d say thrilled cuz the family is getting bigger. Plus all three are heroes. With two of the three having powers of their own. Alena’s strength like Louisa and Katashi having dragons. Deicoon she’d have reservations about… but once he and Mirabel start dating, she gets chill.

Encanto
I wish there had been a scene like this in Encanto: 
After Mirabel runs away Julieta is upset and then hears her mother’s voice and her fists tighten before turning to her mom.
“Isabela almost married someone she didn’t love, Louisa thinks that her only worth comes from her gift, and now Mirabel...Mirabel. I tried for so many years to make things as easy as I could for everyone else because of what you went through and because I didn’t want to lose anyone else like how I lost my father or my brother but...but,” she stops to take a breath. “I love you and I appreciate what you did for us but I don’t want to be around you right now. I need to find Mirabel and then...and then I don’t know what we’re going to do next.”

Characters in Encanto I found uncomfortably relatable
Bruno: predicted upcoming calamities and behavior, vilified and considered dangerous because of poor communication skills, prone to retreating, tries to repair the cracks only he can see until doing so becomes completely untenable
Mirabel: Disabled ("lacks an ability") considered to be in the way all the time, easily forgotten, glasses, wants to help, aware of fuckery from early on
Louisa: Pressure to manage more tasks than reasonable, protector of everyone, bundle of nerves, anxiety about other's well being & safety, self-worth tied to usefulness, stressed all the time, aware of danger & problems but (correctly) feels like others won't acknowlage them so she'll have to be the one to handle it, deeply aware of how she's the one to handle everything but feels like she has to be
Dolores: Picked up on things way earlier on than the others, lives in constant discomfort because of sensory problems, learned to be extra quiet to avoid being seen as weird/intrusive, weirdness pops out anyway sometimes, doesn't sleep much
Isabella: Pressure to be perfect, not really listened to, creations only valued when they meet a perfectionist's standards, "so much hides behind my smile" "What could I do if I just knew it didn't need to be perfect?" OOF BIG MOOD alert, held up on a pedestal (though only when it's convenient and she does what they want)
Pepa: A whirlwind of emotions, constantly told to make "clear blue skies" no matter what her actual feelings, told off for showing her real emotions, concerns not taken seriously because she's "so emotional"

Has anyone done any fluffy one shots or art of like the cousins when they're really young and like helping to mind the babies Camilo and Mirabel? Like Delores can just about help but their wails are still loud and she's only had her powers for two years by then but she sings them nursery rhymes when they're calm. Isabella using them as practice for more flower crowns then her older family members would sit still for with Louisa and using her flowers and hedging to keep them in place or catch them when they go awry and how Abuela would be commenting on how good she is with kids already. Louisa talking about how she can help hold them and keep them safe but being told she needs to be careful because she's not strong enough to hold them for too long yet and how when she gets her power and they're starting to toddle around she's still not allowed to play with them too much but now it's because she's too strong and even when she's learned how to use her powers somewhat suddenly too busy doing work but even when she's gotten a chance to play she's a little too rough and they get hurt and she feels so bad and is told she should know better so she feels really bad but internalizes it. Maybe with helpful Uncle Bruno theoretically minding them but trying to be careful to not get visions of them.

Just saying, Mirabel is a much better woman than I am. Like, if I were her after the movie ended no one would be able to tell me shit. "Oh, you wanna tell me to clean my room?? Which one?!?! This is MY HOUSE! I'M THE REASON IT EXISTS, PUT SOME RESPECT ON MY NAME!"

Iplier Egos Head Cannon - What Song in "Encanto" Did They Get Emotional During?
Darkiplier
Surface Pressure
Deep down he really does care about his “brothers”
He thinks he needs to keep up the tough guy act to make them think he isn’t afraid
He is
He REALLY is
He’s worried about the space/time continuum, keeping order, and making sure the ipliers’ existence stays a secret
He tries not to let the others see the tears that involuntarily start to fall as Louisa sings about her struggles as the strongest sister
Wilford
He probably heard all of the songs before watching the movie
He wouldn’t really cry for any of them in particular (feeling that he doesn’t necessarily relate to any of them)
However
He would look at certain egos to watch their reactions during different songs
He would notice the small things that happen and slowly learn more about his “brothers” based on the musical numbers and their lyrics
After the movie, he’d probably go and visit the egos that had the worst reactions (who got the most emotional or those who would straight up leave the room)
He did get a little bothered listening to “Dos Oruguitas” though
He didn’t get emotional per say
But watching Pedro die with the love song in the background kinda reminded him of when he lost Celine
Fortunately, he opted not to dwell on it too much
Actor
Waiting On A Miracle
This boy is INSECURE because of his breakup with Celine
Is he good enough?
Has he done enough?
Is he really worthy of anything?
He wants to be better
He wants his life to be better
But everything seems to slip through his fingers, coming back to resent him later on
He just wants someone to open their eyes and see that he’s worth their time, even if that person is Dark
Mirabel dancing on screen, singing about how she wished to be noticed as part of the family, made Actor tear up, wiping them away before someone could see them
Eventually, it got to be too much (especially seeing how Mirabel was pushed away by her family after trying to help them) and he left the room, using the excuse of getting more snacks
As soon as he entered the kitchen, he had a silent breakdown
Googleplier
Surface Pressure
I can’t really hear Louisa sing “I’m pretty sure I’m worthless if I can’t be of service” without thinking about Google and his first objective
Yes, his secondary objective is relatively important, but the first one is.. Well it’s his PRIMARY objective
If he can’t do anything other than hurt people, then what is the point of him being there?
His optics widen and his mechanical heart speeds up
“How do you feel?” survey pops up and he clicks on one
“I’m in this picture and I don’t like it��
Bingiplier
What Else Can I Do?
He’s imperfect
That’s all I really need to say, but I’ll continue
He’s always compared to Google and he knows deep down that he’s worth more than his search bar abilities
He doesn’t want to be perfect like Google
He just wants to be himself, which is hard when everyone is always doting on him for every mistake he makes
Isabella creating spiky plants and beautiful flowers in front of him makes his optics widen and he slowly smiles, feeling an odd mixture of happiness and sadness as he watches her accept her imperfections in spite of her family’s expectations
Dr. Iplier
He doesn’t really get emotional during the songs
However
When it’s revealed that Bruno has been shunned by his family because of his gift, he smiled sadly
“How unfortunate,” he thought, “for someone to be abandoned because of something uncontrollable and never be spoken of again for fear of taboo”
He’s seen patients in the hospital who never have anyone visit them
He always feels sad when he finds out that someone has been abandoned
He secretly makes trips to animal shelters for that reason, to visit the abandoned animals and give them some love
He gets happy again when Bruno is reunited with his loved ones who welcome him back with open arms
Yandereplier 
Dos Oruguitas
He wouldn’t relate to any of the English songs enough to have a real reaction
He gets emotional during certain parts of the movie because he recognizes a lot of what’s going on in the Madrigal family (Toxic family roles and stuff like that)
He feels bad for the characters (especially Mirabel and Bruno)
But when “Dos Oruguitas” starts playing and we find out the heartbreaking truth behind Abuelo Pedro’s death
WHOOOO BOY the tears start FLOWING
He hates to imagine the pain Abuela went through, losing the love of her life
Yandere, being a very romantic man, can’t stand the thought of his own senpai leaving him
Like, she’s everything to him!
He’d become very protective of her after watching this movie, afraid of anyone taking her away from him
He’s fine with the movie though, loves the music for the most part
Yancy
Friggin ALL OF THE SONGS
He loves music and finds each of them so amazing
He also kinda relates to each of the English sung songs in their own way (except “We Don’t Talk About Bruno”)
WOAM: The want to be extraordinary and help others
SP: The need to be the tough one and look out for his fellow prisoners and weaker “brothers”
WECAD: The want to live life how he wants without being the picture perfect civilian that the world wants him to be
He thinks very highly of this movie and loves it to bits
He does eventually become frustrated with how often “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” gets sung by people both online and in real life
Like, he gets that it’s a catchy song, but still, give it a break
Illinois
Waiting On A Miracle
Yes, Illinois is a special adventurous and flirtatious boy 
But not everything is really as it seems with him
His whole “Everyone falls in love with me” act is a facade
He’s trying to convince himself that he’s loved / cared about by someone
He took up adventuring to be different
To be a conversation starter
To be interesting so that somebody
ANYBODY
Would look his way and want to be around him 
After all..
He wasn’t special or cool enough growing up to have many / any friends
He sees way too much of himself in Mirabel and ends up leaving the group for a few minutes to cry in the bathroom
Engineer Mark
Waiting On A Miracle
What else needs to be said?
If given pictures of Engineer and Mirabel everyone would say they were the same image
Insecure
Feels unwanted
Wants to be impressive and help those around him with his talents and ideas
Hides behind a false persona of happiness
THEY
ARE
THE
SAME
PERSON
He’s close to leaving the room but stays put, activating his space helmet which is also soundproof so no one can see / hear him start to cry
Poor man can’t hear “Waiting On A Miracle” without having a breakdown

Roundtable Presentation: Painting With All The Colors: Encanto (2021)
Tumblr media
Encanto (2021) is the story of the Madrigal family. The Madrigal family was bestowed a miracle that gifted each member of the family a special ability when they came of age, all except for Mirabel that is. Despite not having an ability, Mirabel must uncover the secret of her family's miracle, and save the Encanto. This story is one of discovery and healing, as the Madrigals navigate the effects of generational trauma on their family dynamics and relationships.
In what ways does the film’s score situate the story with its narrative context? 
The music in the film's opening credits is vallenato, a style of music native to Colombia. Many of the songs within the score are native Colombian music styles such as bambuco, vallenato, and folk. However, the songs are still meant to retain a level of "radio-friendliness", and this is achieved through Lin-Manuel Miranda's poppier Broadway influence.
youtube
The film's first sung score, "The Family Madrigal", is influenced by vallenato, however it was not written by a Columbian, nor was it performed by one. As the opening song, it has the responsibility of introducing the narrative, however, this responsibility is not entirely met as it lacks a Columbian voice.
Now, as the film is one that explores the complexities of family and hardship, the score works to convey that. Though the lyrics do not say much to the Colombian culture itself, they do very efficiently express the tensions the family face alone and together. For example, the song "Surface Pressure" performed by Julieta's eldest daughter and Mirabel's eldest sister, Louisa. In the song she expresses her feelings of inadequacy as the eldest, as someone who is expected to carry much of the weight of her parent's expectations for both herself and her younger sisters.
youtube
The film's most popular song--and to no surprise the least Colombian sounding one--is "We Don't Talk About Bruno". This song is extremely important in communicating the entire family's trauma and refusal to face the past as it is an entire enable number with overlapping lyrics, and a combination of many styles of music. It is meant to bar overwhelming in order to show audiences the depth of the family's pain surrounding Bruno's vision of the future. He foresaw the family's ruin, and instead of changing their ways and accepting their past, they cast him out, attempting to bury the inevitable consequences of their denial.
Now the film's second to last score, "Dos Orugitas" is an extremely important piece. The song is sung solely in Spanish unlike the other scores, and is performed by a Colombian performer. This song comes at a pivotal moment in the film, when Mirabel helps her grandmother face her past. This song plays as we see Mirabel's grandfather sacrifice himself to save his family when the Spanish invaded. This scene paired with the song cuts deep emotionally, as it is responsible for communicating generational trauma to audiences. A scene such as this, which speaks so much to Colombia's past had to be performed in Spanish by a Colombian performer, or it would not have had the same effect.
All these songs work to immerse the viewer into the family's both internal and external battles.
youtube
How do songs use character performance to push cultural authenticity in the film’s diegesis? 
The way in which songs use character performance to push cultural authenticity is relatively weak in this film. Though much of the cast is Columbian, the main character, Mirabel, who sings in most of the songs, is Argentinian.
When we do hear performances by Colombian artists they are non-diegetic, and therefore do not contribute as much as they should to the cultural authenticity in this context. However, it is important to remember that most of the cast is Colombian, and they represent the story even if the music's lyrics are not telling of the culture.
Unfortunately, the songs I feel best push cultural authenticity are both non-diegetic. "Dos Orugitas", by Sebastían Yatra is not a character performance, but it is sung in Spanish by a Colombian artist. The second song "Antonio's Voice". This song was composed by Germaine Franco, and features women vocalizing in Spanish as Antonio receives his ability. The importance of having the music be sung in Spanish for this scene is great, as the concept of the Madrigal's special abilities is what the story itself revolves around. After all, the inclusion of the family's special abilities in the film is deeply inspired by a Latiné born writing style, realismo mágico.
In what ways does the film use musical “framing” to structure the score within familiarized styles?
Despite three crucial musical contributors to the film being Columbian, the songs they perform were not written by them. Each number with sung lyrics was written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, a Puertorriqueño. This way, as Robin Armstrong writes in their essay, "Time to Face the Music: Musical Colonization and Appropriation in Disney’s Moana", "control always stays in the hand of the colonizers" (Armstrong 3). Of course, though Miranda is Latino, he and his music style represent a narrative more tailored to the expectations of Disney, Hollywood, and Broadway.
What I also found quite interesting was how even though three of the major singer contributors to the film's score are Columbian artists--Maluma, Sebastián Yatra, and Carlos Vives--the songs they perform are non-diegetic and written by Miranda. Only Maluma is on the cast, and his role is quite small as he is not even part of the familia Madrigal. So, though this inclusion of Columbian artists does contribute to the film's authenticity, they are only given limited access to the narrative, and virtually no say in what they sing. This is a concept that was greatly discussed in Armstrong's article, about even though native voice are given a space to be heard, they are used only where the colonizers see fit.
Furthermore, the instrumental pieces were also not composed by a Colombian composer, so it is hard to claim authenticity even if the music is reflective of traditional Colombian musical styles. This choice implies that the authenticity of the music did not matter enough to Disney to hire a Columbian composer.
So even though vallenato, folk, and bambuco styles are present, they are still contained within familiar sounds of pop, broadway, and reggaeton. Now, though reggaeton originated from many Latin American music styles including Colombian, it is still a more familiar sound with western audiences.

Yandere Family Madrigals
TW: Yandere themes
Tumblr media
Oh, well this is going to end up way badly-
It won't depend if you are related to them by blood or they have adopted you. You are their family and they are your family right?
First of all you can contact with people other than them but they should approve of those people or they can be the family's friend.
Did I mention that as a family they are way more overprotective than single. They somehow know what you are doing and what you are not doing. They know your hobbies.
Dolores can hear everything so don't ever try to hide anything from her.
Isa has always been the center so she expects a lot of attention from you. She would want you to give her as much as attention you can give her and no one else.
However, if you are not impressed by her manners or such then she would use her powers and make flowers grow whichever you like.
She will also see this is as a competition to have much more attention to herself rather than her cousins or siblings.
Camilo will shapeshift and make you laugh. He can always put up a smile on your face by doing random things. Sometimes he will shapeshift into strangers and do weird actions which will make you laugh so hard that your stomach will start hurting.
Louisa does not want any attention or such but she wants to feel loved and useful to you in any situation. She is also very comforting as compared to the others in the family.
Now comes Bruno. First of all when he had been hiding himself all those years ago he would still communicate with you.
He will talk through tunnels or walls also there are a few holes so he might even watch you over too. If he notices that something is wrong he will immediately tell it to Dolores or there are chances that Dolores would have heard what had happened with him.
Antonio loves playing with you he will even make you meet the animals which you have ever wanted to observe. They can be wild or be pretty tame for Antonio it is just a slice of cake.
Mirabel thinks that she is not enough for her friend because she does not have any gift rather than her siblings or cousins who do have gifts.
After Bruno is back to family he will spend more time with you. Even though he knows a lot about you and will never get bored of you.
However, he did fear that you might hate him, after all everyone hated him so why wouldn't you hate him?
The elders are slightly better though.
Now Pepa is ready to flood almost all the village for you. She won't hesitate twice if someone or almost everyone in the village shamed you for reasons. She won't tolerate anyone doing bad to you.
On a better note she loves you a lot like a daughter/son.
Julieta will make sure that you eat properly and are in a better health. Julieta will also be the most comforting person in the whole family. You can always rely on her.
Felix and Augustin help you settle in very quickly they make jokes here and there. They know when you are feeling sad and when you are feeling better.
The family love you a lot and will always protect you. Just don't get on the bad side and don't ever try to leave them.

Hiding Spots
(Sorry it’s kinda Mirabel & fam instead of just Mira and Tonito)
———
Another 5 + 1
———
Closet
Mirabel knew she was supposed to go to bed but she couldn’t. Not yet. Isabela had gotten scolded for making the wrong bouquet.
She wanted to make sure her sister was okay.
She gasps and whispers to casita. She knows something that always makes her feel better!
Once Mirabel found the perfect gift for her sister, she went up to the elder’s room. She opened the door to see nothing.
Well, slightly untrue as there were tons of flowers but no sister in sight. Mirabel walked around and called out for Isabela when she heard some soft sobs. Looking around she saw a bunch of plants and vines wrapped around a portion of the room.
“Isabela?” She called again. “I… I have a gift for you.”
“Go away!”
“Please? Isa?”
Mirabel hears some rustling and sees the vines move and her sisters angry, tear streaked face.
“I SAID-!” Mirabel holds up the gift.
Isabela blinks as she notices the pin and a couple of flowers in her sister’s hands.
“They’re inter- inner… they switch!” Mirabel says.
Afterwards her sister starts crying again, pin in hand and Mirabel hugs her. She tells her sister that she thought it was amazing and that mistakes happen. Mirabel knows. After Abuela says Mirabel makes lots of mistakes.
Isabela looks like she wants to say something but Mirabel hugs her again and tells her to sleep well.
As the years pass, Mirabel notices how even though it’s the pink one, Isabela still wears the hairpin.
——-
Windowsill
Camilo, despite everything was her best friend. She know him better than she knows herself. That’s why when she sees he doesn’t eat the arepas at dinner, his favorite, she knows something is wrong.
They may not be four and spend everyday together anymore but she goes to where he’s hiding.
Camilo loves the sky. His mom makes it change and he adores it. Loves all weather.
When she gets there he clings. He talks about how his body changes and it feels wrong and how it’s not him. How nobody needs him anymore.
She tells him he’s wrong. How she needs him, how no matter what he looks like she will always need him.
Later she makes him a ruana with chameleons embroidered on it. She leaves a note at his door.
‘Even though a chameleon can shift and hide, it’s still a chameleon.’
——
Woods
Dolores had run off into the woods. Mirabel doesn’t know what she heard but knows it wasn’t good. She follows and they sit in silence.
Sometimes it’s good to be quiet.
She leaves some earmuffs she made at her cousin’s door that night.
—-
Kitchen
Luisa was harder to find but at least one spot Mirabel could reliably find her at is the kitchen. Where she’ll see her mom already comforting her sister.
Once she knows it’ll be fine she goes to make another outfit to fit her sister whose so strong and beautiful that she doesn’t understand why others don’t see it too.
She hand it to her sister with a big hug and tells her she’s beautiful.
—-
Bed
Antonio had long since made a habit of hiding under her bed. It’s why when she hears people can’t find him she goes to her room. She opens her drawer.
“This present will self destruct in three…”
—-
Roof
Mirabel sits where no one in the house could see her. Always hidden and safe.
She failed to make them proud today. And that’s okay. She’ll cry tonight and stare at the stars she wishes so desperately to shine like. Eventually Casita will urge her to go to bed and she will.
Tomorrow is a new day. A new chance to make her family proud.

okay random 2-3am thoughts, but my brain just asked the question of which Encanto character the batboys were and..
I think Tim would be Mirabel, not because he's talentless, obviously he's a genius. But because he's constantly having to prove his worth to to Bruce (Bruce is abuela), he needs to prove that he belongs in this family because he wasn't chosen. Still he is a very important piece within the family, because without him things would have fallen apart, Bruce would have fallen apart. And he's so determined to help and be as useful as possible, and he puts himself down for not being able to live up to certain expectations.
Dick is Louisa. The eldest, carrying the burden of the entire family on his shoulders. You can see from Tim's perspective that he is strong and amazing and something that Tim wishes he could be. Dick's got his shit together and he is so responsible and can take anything on. But, as revealed in Louisa's song, you can see that Dick is on the edge, he's overwhelmed under all the pressure of everyone's expectations. He desperately needs a break, he's going to implode, but if he can just exert a little more strength, if he can shoulder just a few more burdens... Inevitably he's going to burn out or snap.
Damian is Isabella. From Tim's point of view he is like the perfect golden child (even though he's really not). Tim and Damian don't really get along. Damian likes to make a show off just how great he is, likes to brag about how he's so much better than the other's, to Tim he's a spoiler brat. But as revealed in Isabella's song, Damian is actually struggling with trying to keep up the perfect act. He's burdened by the expectation of his family to be the best, to be absolutely perfect at everything and nothing less. He shows off because he's insecure, he needs people to know how good he is, he hides how he really feels. However, recently, we see him able to explore who he really is and slowly realise he can be more than practiced perfection. He wants to try new things and allow himself to feel the full spectrum of his emotions (which he tries to do thru writing self-incerts but hey he's making progress).
Jason is the rat man. Not only because I think it's funny, but also he's the balck sheep. He's not really apart of the family anymore, but he still lingers like ghost in the walls. He desperately wants to be apart of the family again, but he's afraid. He worries he won't be accepted, that he will be cast out and rejected for who he is, his reputation. He acts like it doesn't bother him, but deep down he's afraid of Bruce's judgement and disappointment. He's afraid of getting close to the people he cares about because he knows he's part of the problem. He stays distant, but he's still around. And as much as everyone paints him to be the bad guy, someone not to be trusted, someone to be feared; deep down he does have a good heart and it's hurting. Also when he was dead it was like a big no no to talk about him lol, we don't talk about jaasoonn~ and Timers went ahead and talked about him anyway just like Mirabel haha
