I'm on a bit of an Encanto kick lately and upon rewatching the Dod Oroguitas number I realized something...
Abuelo Pedro was the magical one. I say this because the butterfly always followed him around, we see that from the beginning. The candle didn't take on its magical properties until Abuelo Pedro's spirit was released (when he died) the house sprang up around his literal murder site so clearly the guy had some hella magical powers going on.
Abuela doesn't seem to have these gifts, not saying she isn't special but Alma herself never really displayed any magic, so that means that the thing she despised in Mirabel is the thing she really despised in herself.
Also it seems that as far as magical gifts go the males in that family have the really huge ones, dunno about Pedro but Bruno had the ability to tell the future which is pretty big, arguably. We can't count Augustine or Felix because they simply married into the family and were non-magical from the beginning. Though it does beg the question as to why Abuela wouldn't have wanted her kids to marry others with magical gifts, then again maybe in her younger days she was more accepting of non-magical people.
Makes one wonder what could have changed her mind on that... O_o I mean she couldn't take one look at sweet innocent little Mirabel one day and decide that she was the devil herself, no it reminded her of something else. But what? Maybe someday that'll be answered.

okay so... I was rewatching Encanto songs (cof cof dos oruguitas cof) and I came to realise something that more people must have realised:
so... have you ever thought that one of the reason why Abuela is so obsessed with Isabela being "perfect" and marrying and having children to keep up the family's legacy is because maybe she sees herself in Isa?
like... they look really alike in appearance:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(ofc Isa's wearin makeup so they maybe not seem much alike)
also, I think that Mariano resembles Abuelo in appearance too (not to much, I believe it's the beard and the eyes lmao):
Tumblr media Tumblr media
sooo... maybe Alma sees her youngself on Isabela and sees Pedro in Mariano and tries hard to make them work to not only keep the Madrigal Miracle alive but also to see, at least at a certain distance and on other people, she and Pedro being able to be together?
Idk, I thought this and it made some sense to me? what about you guys, what's your opinion?

I'm listening to Amorphous by Icon For Hire so obviously I am now going insane over lyrics and encanto (and here's my first thoughts ans WOW this got kinda long whoops)
Brittle - au in which everything is exactly the same except the Family babies Mirabel like,, a LOT like yeah they treat her and Antonio the same because none of them got a gift yet but the MOMENT Antonio does, he's suddenly treated wildly different from Mirabel and she just,, snaps a little because shes 15 dammit (Mirabel being smothered by Abuela again, finally done with being treated like a porcelain doll or an infant, she pulls away and yells "IM NOT BRITTLE!!"-)
("Keep breathing, don't lose focus, I'm alive, I'm not a diagnosis," Mirabel tells herself, the few times she's let out of sight from the family, just yearning for adventure and knowledge and she's so CURIOUS. It's what she says as she swings over the huge gap in Bruno's Tower, the most dangerous things she's done EVER and she knows the family will scold her for hours, and that's not even touching on WHERE or WHAT) ("They call me damaged" bc she's giftless "they call me difficult" bc she refuses to be treated as something that could break as the softest touch)
Curse or Cure - Mirabel and 💫self esteem issues💫 esp after Casita falls but before Apologies (but also Bruno the night he leaves + time around that)
Enemies - (bc i read Tremors by @missilestorm1 ,,, this is Mira in that) (10/10 REC BTW)
mORE MIRANGST- (hheheh wouldn't it be fun if I could make this about Pedro somehow-)
Panic Attacks - ALSO TREMORS- lIKE THIS SONG IS SUCH A TREMORS!MIRABEL SONG I AM YELLING (especially the things about Concealing and Cracks like bYE-)
Seeds - Bruno and Mirabel @ the family, they were both buried and shunned in different ways but this only made them STRONGER and they won't stay hidden any longer, no matter if there's a wall between them or not. So they get loud, rebellious in lack of a better word. The family won't talk about Bruno? FINE he'll give a hella good reason to because he's hurt and he's angry. They won't let Mirabel in or bury her in the metaphorical dirt? FINE she'll get loud and force herself in! She'll make them see her and she won't stop until she reaches that goal. The family won't talk about either of them? FINE they'll be LOUD they'll be PROUD and they'll be SEEN (but also,,, The Two Seers AU- 👀👀👀)
(Thirteen interlude - mirangst- oooo or isangst- why am I making angst shipnames)
Background Sad - hhhhh pOST MOVIE BRUNO AND MIRA BOTH TRYING TO FIND THEIR PLACES IN THE FAMILY AGAIN AND MIRABEL BEING LIKE 'I HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE SAD EVERYTHING IS GREAT NOW- (kinda want the song be Bruno @ Mirabel bc he Knows she's Struggling a Lot too- ooo or half song is Bruno @ Mira and the other half is Mira back @ Bruno)
(after having looped this for a whole night, this song is Mirabel singing it, maybe to Bruno in his new tower room after he's catching her Definitely Not Being Okay™ and asks her about it and she's just,, "I tell everyone I got better but what if I'm not? It's hard to face the truth sometimes.. And I tell everyone it gets better but what if I'm wrong? It's hard to tell the truth sometimes.. Am I always gonna just be background sad? Waiting for the storm clouds to clear in my head, wondering if this is as good as it gets.. Telling myself it's alright? Does it matter how hard I try? Am I always just gonna be background sad?")
(actually this song could also work for Tremors whoops- i might be Fixating™)
Last One Standing - MIRABEL BEING A BADASS AND UNAPOLOGETICALLY HERSELF lIKE "THIS IS ME AND YALL CAN FIGHT ME IF YOU DOMT LIKE IT" (oooo anD YES POST-MOVIE ISA JOINING HERRR)
Waste My Hate - SAME AS LAST ONE STANDING IM JUST- MIRA BEING UNAPOLOGETICALLY HERSELF <3333
(Impossibles & Obstacles interlude - saME AS ABOVEEE)
Sticks & Stones - thIS ONE TOO (with some side Bruno being badass unapologetically himself as a treat <3) (OOOOO OR ISABELA-) (actually now that I'm thinking about it- ,,, Abuela :) )
Warrior - Bruno focused but with Mirabel paralleling, Bruno after he comes out of the walls, finds himself again and just. Unapologetically and violently being HIMSELF his TRUE self. 0 fucks given or cared (wAIT THIS ONE ALSO ISA- pre vs post movie) (tO BE FAIR THO- the whole family :) )
Only Be A Story - Bruno going into the walls- (@ the very first lines- Mirabel, sitting by the river after Casita falls, whispering it to the water as she watches it all pass by. and maybe there's a bag by her legs but when could she possibly have time to pack that together?)
by the gods this can't be happening, I say, as I hyperfixate on Bruno & Mira parallels and this album, by the gods not again (affectionate)
but also fr if anyone wanna hear the more thoughts (esp for Brittle or Only A Story or or or-) comment below or send me an ask or anything else like that :)
update: I'll link anything I write based on these here :)
Only Be A Story

Random Encanto Headcanon
All the guys in the Madrigal family (yes, including Mariano) have worn at least one piece of feminine clothing at some point in their lives.
Pedro tried wearing a dress out of curiosity when he was 12.
Bruno begged Alma to make him a flower crown after seeing her make some for his sisters. No, she couldn't resist his puppy eyes. Why do you ask?
Felix and Agustin tried swapping clothes with their wives one time (see some pics on the internet). Yes, they were brave enough to admit that they looked great.
Camilo has always wanted to wear a skirt since he got his gift, but he was scared that the rest of the family wouldn't approve of it. Now he wears skirts every Pride Month after coming out as genderfluid.
Antonio has been dolled up by Isabela multiple times, with the makeup and all.
Mariano eventually gets into it and buys a dress for himself. Dolores buys a suit to match.
Mirabel & Luisa love their dad, uncles, cousins, and cousin-in-law, but at the same time they're DONE with them, just because they look like they want to draw unwanted attention.
"How many times have we told them that they're not in a drag show?!" "A gazillion, maybe. They're such a drag."
-Mirabel Valentina Madrigal & Luisa Paola Madrigal, 2022
If you want to argue, do it with the wall.

Encantober 2023 Day 27: Grave
The lake near the Encanto was considered a special memorial for Alma. She considered it to be Pedro’s grave, since that was where he died and the miracle was born. Alma would visit the lake often to remember Pedro and have taken the triplets there on several of their birthdays to remember him.
The day after the triplets’ fifty-first birthday, Alma decided to bring the entire family to the lake to have a memorial service together. She wanted to do one for a while, but when Bruno disappeared, she felt like she could not do so. Now that Bruno was back, she decided this year was the best time to take her sons-in-law and grandchildren to the lake where Pedro died and the miracle was born.
Once the Madrigal family got to the lake, Alma brought a big box with her filled with lots of things, but she did not tell the rest of the family what was in there. They were for each part of the memorial service, and she would reveal them during each part. The rest of the Madrigals set up some towels to sit on, since they were having lunch together there too.
Once the family got settled down, Alma stood at the center of the family’s towels so everyone could see her. “Family, after ten years of waiting and planning, we can finally commemorate the life of Pedro Madrigal with the entire family.” The rest of the family applauded during the break of silence. “We will start this memorial with a speech from Bruno Madrigal, since we waited for him to come back to do this.”
Bruno stood up and the rest of the family applauded again once he stood next to his mother. “Gracias, mami, first of all, I just want to address how happy I am to be back. When Mirabel found me in the walls, I didn’t want to say anything to her, but now that she promised to bring me back home when she saved the miracle, I can say that coming back was the best decision I ever made. When mami first took Julieta, Pepa, and me to this lake the day after our gift ceremony, I couldn’t comprehend what was happening. None of us did, but I was the least verbal at the time, so I couldn’t verbalize what I was feeling.”
The family applauded when Bruno paused. “When mami told me she wanted to do this for several years and waited for me to come back to do it, that was when I realized how important I really was to this family. Mirabel, you were the one who made me realize how important I was to this family and made me understand how my disappearance has affected this family negatively. Gracias, sobrina.”
The family applauded as Mirabel stood up and made her way to Alma and Bruno. “Gracias, Tio Bruno; while I do understand the feeling of being useless to the family, But when Abuela affirmed that Abuelo sent her me to help this family, that was when I also knew how important I was to this family, and wanted Bruno to know the same thing.”
The family applauded one more time before Mirabel and Bruno sat back on their towels. Alma brought out the box and stood back in the center. She took out a small candle from the box and held it up for the rest of the family to see. She walked closer to the lake and turned around for the family.
“As you know, the miracle is represented by the candle. The candle also represents the legacy that Pedro has left for us. I have one candle for each of us to say something we wish we could experience with Pedro.”
Alma turned around and kneeled down and put the candle near the water. “I wish I would have experienced the growth of our children and grandchildren together.” She then released the candle into the water. “I now want to do this in age order with my blood relatives. Married relatives will go after their spouses.”
Julieta stood up and grabbed a candle from the box. They all took one and kneeled down and said what they wished they could have experienced with Pedro. They each went in age order with the spouses going after their spouses, starting with Julieta and ending with Antonio.
“I wish I could have had you as a father figure to guide me through my life.”
“I wish I could have gotten to know you as a father-in-law.”
“I wish I could have had the father daughter relationship with you that I craved for so long and guide me through my feelings.”
“I wish I could have gotten to know you and guide me through the Madrigal family.”
“I wish I could have had you around to share the plays I wrote and been my support system throughout my life.”
“I wish I could have had you to share my flowers with.”
“I wish I could have had you to tell secrets with and share what was on my mind.”
“I wish I could have come to you for comfort when I was stressed.”
“I wish I could have had fun with you and joke around with you.”
“I wish I could have had you to look up to and guide me through my life.”
“I wish I could have played with you and shared fun memories with you.”
Once each family member shared their wish for Pedro, they each put their candle on the water and watched them float away. They backed away from the lake to watch the candles float away and put their arms around each other.
“Each of you had a wish for Pedro you wanted to give. Each of them were unique to your own experiences and wished to share memories with him.”
For the rest of the day, the family gave speeches about what they thought Pedro would have been like if he lived to see and raise them, and during lunch, Alma talked about all the best memories she had with Pedro when they were married and dating. It was the best remembrance Alma ever had for Pedro, now that she has her entire family remembering him together for the very first time.

are you taking prompts?
genderbend au, Bruna explaining she doesn't want a quinseñera because she dislikes being in the spotlight
Confession time, I have an entire genderbent AU in my head 😅
As the triplets' fifteenth birthday got closer and closer, Almer despaired. How in the world were his children fifteen already? Had it truly been fifteen years since his Pedra was lost to him?
God, Bruna was looking more and more like her every day. She was smaller than her mother had been, thinner and much more quiet. But that face, the hair, that smile...She was Pedra in miniature.
And right now, her pretty face (her mother's face) was creased by an anxious frown. She shuffled from foot to foot, wringing her small hands.
"Papá, who'd want to come to a quinceañera for me?" she asked, looking at him with wide, sad eyes.
"You have that new friend, don't you?" he asked. He absentmindedly patted her shoulder, mentally running through today's checklist of duties and meetings. "Augusta?"
"Agustína," she corrected quietly. "B-but, um...That's just o-one person and-"
"Ay, mija, the village will come. Don't worry, you know they will."
That didn't seem to reassure her. On the contrary, she looked more nervous than ever.
Almer wished with all his might that Pedra was here. This was something Bruna needed her mamá for. She was growing up, a young woman already, and Almer could only do so much.
How his daughter remained so shy and nervous with Pepe frequently rough-housing with her (despite Almer's many warnings not to drag his sister into such antics), he would never understand. She was the only girl in a house of boys and, right now, Almer was sharply reminded of that fact.
Behind Bruna, on the stairs, Pedra's portrait seemed to look at him accusingly.
What did he know of dress shopping, or hair, or make-up? He wanted this to be perfect for her, but how on earth was he to manage that?
Pedra, I need you, he thought desperately. There was no answer, of course. Just Pedra's portrait and Pedra's daughter, her ghost and shadow; his little girl, not so little anymore.
A quinceañera was such an important event. Almer would make sure it was perfect.
Somehow.
He wanted that fear to leave his daughter's eyes. He wanted the shadow of failure and accusation to leave him.
He mustered up a smile and straightened Bruna's shoulders.
"Chin up, mija," he said. "This will be perfect."
"Er...Right," she said. "I-I just...I don't know if I-"
"I'll set aside some time tomorrow to take you shopping, okay?" He began to walk away, chin up and shoulders back, the proud and all-knowing leader of the Encanto. "Don't worry, Brunita. We'll handle it."
He barely heard her quiet, "Right," as he walked away.
(It wasn't until he found Juliano and Bruna in the kitchen at their own birthday, with Juliano calming his sister down from a panic attack, that he finally realised what Bruna had been trying to tell him all along)

Mi familia. Mis mariposas.
You have endured so much. You have gone through such sorrow.
You are safe now.
You can breathe. You can heal. Let me help you.
To you, my firstborn, my delight, I give the ability to soothe the pain of the past.
To you, my middleborn, my storm of joy, I give the ability to always enjoy the present, no matter the circumstances.
And to you, my youngest, my wonder, I give the ability to prepare a better future.
You can rest, now. You can grow.
.

Okay so clearly I didn’t make myself clear enough last time. My bad. You’re people. I’m a house. It’s not easy to communicate. Look, to the first of this new generation, I give the power to grow flowers. Flowers. Not crops to be harvested, not hardwood to be chopped. Just something that can be enjoyed. That’s what gifts are.
.
That is a five year old child you- what are you doing? Do I need to give this one enhanced hearing so you can hear me better- ay miércoles, I wrote that into the miracle. Sorry about that.
.
This. Is a mess. Is it my fault? I can see you mean well. Am I not clear enough? Sorry I’m not the kind of ghost that writes messages on mirrors or something, I’m doing my best to give you a safe place to be happy. I can’t do everything. Looks like you’re gonna have to be strong, kid. This is messed up.
.
There! Is that clear enough? You can be whatever you want to be! I literally cannot make this more obvious!
.
You know what. You need to chill. You’re all in time out.
.
YOU LOST BRUNO? YOU- HOW DO YOU LOSE AN ENTIRE HUMAN BEING? YOU DROVE HIM AWAY- THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF THE POINT OF THE ENCANTO! It’s fine, it’s okay. I gave Dolores enhanced hearing, this is gonna be useful for the family now, she can tell them where he is.
She’s not telling them were he is. Maldición. How are you all like this.
Does anybody else know where he is?
The rats?
Okay you’re out of time out but only because one of you needs to have a talk with the rats.
Jesús.
