What's the fic idea you have with redesigned Isabela?
Well I won't not take a chance to talk about it, but I'm sorry anon, if you were hoping for a fic about Encanto specifically, I don't have one lol
It's more of a spin-off of my Descendants/Once Upon a Time series, An Untold Story (currently part 1 and Tales of Auradon). This fic would be set after the conclusion of part 2 (the end of OUaT season five.)
More under the cut so that I don't clog people's dashes.
So in Rose's fic I introduced the idea of Guardians, particularly Rose, Guardian of Hope, and Emma, Guardian of Courage. Not every Guardian is a Savior, but every Savior is a Guardian.
But I wound up running with the Guardian idea, extending it beyond just the two that we have in the story, throughout various Disney-owned franchises; and I may have started thinking of a spin-off fic focusing centrally on the Guardians as a group as they currently exist, including:
Merlin, Guardian of Magic and the leader of the Guardians (from Once Upon a Time)
Emma, Guardian of Courage (from Once Upon a Time)
Rose, Guardian of Hope (OC)
Anselm, the would-have-been Guardian of Change (OC; Rose's love interest; he did not succeed to become a Guardian, and so his Guardian position is taken by someone else, but he's permitted as a part of the Guardians)
Isabela, the Guardian of Change (from Encanto; this is where her redesign would function)
Miguel, the Guardian of Family Memories (from Coco)
Merida, Guardian of Fate (from Brave)
Alberta Falls, Guardian of Adventure (from the Disney Parks, most specifically Jungle Cruise and related attractions)
and some others I haven't fully decided on. But yeah, the idea of redesigning Isabela wouldn't stop bothering me, so I made that and posted it.

okay but i like thinking about the events of ISAT/siffrin's struggles not as them going from a party of normal people with normal struggles to "everyone essentially now has to help Sif heal from That," but as, "everyone in the party has had their own immense, long-term struggles, and this happens to be Siffrin's." like, siffrin is not just a, "problem child," or the standalone outlier in terms of angst
here me out
[major ISAT spoilers, especially for acts 3-5 btw]
siffrin doesn't know all these things in act 1, but:
Odile has had a life-long struggle with identity. Her mother abandoned her family at a young age, her father (presumably heartbroken and betrayed) has never kept any mementos or photos or stories of her and likely avoided speaking of her at any and all opportunities. For the most part, Odile loves her culture but admits she was an outlier in Ka Bue and always stood out from the texture of her hair and eyebrows. She's tried to settle before for the peace of just letting it be, but after meeting that travelling merchant, she realizes how badly she does want to bridge that gap in her identity and has now spent years travelling--all only to find that it didn't quite fix her problem and she hasn't been able to find herself entirely in Vaugarde either. She doesn't dwell too much on her mother, but I feel there is a part of her that could never forgive the hole her mother left behind.
Mirabelle has similarly struggled, though in terms of religion and sexuality. She holds herself to a very high standard of Changing and being a, "good," Housemaiden, and has gone to great lengths to learn as much as she can in efforts to reinvent herself and Change, as she feels she, "should," do, because that's what Housemaidens and diligent followers of the House of Change, "should," do. She is so adamant about this that even prior to the game, even prior to the King's reign--which was several months-a full year before ISAT begins--she is forcing herself to look into relationships to potentially date, bond, and even have children with someone and she doesn't want to do any of that it. She is distraught because she doesn't want to change that aspect. She doesn't want to become what she's not, or try to force herself to feel things she doesn't and can't feel, but she isn't being a good Housemaiden or a good member of her society if she stagnates.
Bonnie's plight primarily comes in with the King's reign, which again, has been for a few months now. They live with their older sister who loves them and cares for them tirelessly, but she is taken by the King's Curse and frozen in time--an event which presumably happens in front of Bonnie, who is encouraged by their sister's last words to just run from the village as far as they can to safety. If that isn't terrifying enough, this leads to them wandering the wilderness for days, exhausted, dehydrated, presumably starved/ill-fed, and lonely, and likely scared out of their mind. Their only saving grace is Siffrin, who happens to find them and save them. The comfort they feel with Sif is called into question when they have to watch Siffrin take a permanent, debilitating injury to the eye to protect them. While the incident seems to roll off Siffrin's worries pretty seamlessly, this is a lot for Bonnie, who by now, has recognized a pattern of the people they love being permanently hurt or altered in some way all just to protect them. They're convinced they're a recurring problem, and after the death ritual talk in the House, has to prepare themselves for the haunting reality that they might really lose everyone they love (and, again, this is a lot. Especially for a child).
Isabeau has tried Changing before, and while it did help him make leaps and bounds, he is still in a constant struggle to love himself fully. Let's be honest here: Isabeau is easily the most emotionally put-together party member, and most equipped to handle the stresses of the party in terms of feelings. This does not make him immune, however, to his own negative feelings. He even cites as wanting to become someone that Siffrin wouldn't be, "ashamed," to know. He also mentions that he is remorseful of the new image he's given himself, as an air-headed, jock type of person, which often leads people into genuinely believing he's stupid and thus treating him that way. Not to mention, as the emotional mediator of the party, I'm sure he occasionally gets stretched thin between helping everyone else manage their problems and altercations.
all this is to say: everyone in the party has their problems, and a good sum of these are not all instantly solved by the end of the story. all of them, siffrin included, are left in a space where they have plenty of healing to do but can confidently and comfortably still rely on one another.
ISAT is just siffrin's chapter of major emotional plight, and everyone else's is presumed prior to the narrative (i can also acknowledge that siffrin definitely got the worst of it though LMAO)

I love this scene!
1. Mirabel knew he'd be hiding here, scared and that she prepared a gift to encourage him
2. Mirabel "walking" her fingers towards the box
3. The very thoughtful animal decorations she drew on the box, complete with her trademark butterfly!
4. Antonio's eyes brightening when he sees the gift
5. Mirabel "pointing" at the present with her lips!

In Karma, how long did it take for Alma to realize that she doesn't separate Luisa and Mirabel?
Well, she found it very quickly that her rule of separation hadn’t worked. Luisa came down to breakfast the next morning with Mirabel in her arms. Following that, Luisa refused to talk to her and kept Mirabel to herself in her room.
She does later stand down, having a similar realisation to Pepa; having been encouraged by her daughter. She has a more reflective and sweet talk with Luisa, apologising and praising Luisa’s behaviour because if something similar had happened to one of her triplets when she was younger and able to fight, she would have done the same.

Ok, I’ve been seeing people make other character timeloop AUs, and as much as I enjoy seeing those, and as much as I like to think “that’s just you, let people have fun, there is no singular canon for this,” a tiny part of my brain always screams “but thEY’RE WRONG!!!”
So, I’m gonna appeal to that foolish part of my brain and also prove it wrong by breaking down how I feel these timeloop AUs should work. Heavy spoilers for In Stars and Time below.
Now, before we start discussing that, we need to first break down what effects does the Timeloop have on Siffrin specifically.
Siffrin, even before the timeloop, has… so many issues. Moreso than his other compatriots, at least from what we see. The thing is, Siffrin’s identity issues are all shared with the other party members. Siffrin is unsure what parts of themself they like and dislike or want to bury like Isabeau, Siffrin has a diasporic disconnect like Odile but worse, Siffrin has something that brings so much joy yet so much grief (the Timeloops, yes, but also their culture they can’t remember) just like Mirabelle, and Siffrin is so scared of being too weak or too late or too stupid to keep people from getting hurt just like Bonnie.
But there are also the abandonment issues, the crippling fear of being left behind, being forgotten and not being loved. That is the main crux of Siffrin’s issues in the game, it’s what spawns the timeloops, encourages Siffrin to keep everything secret, break the universe, etc. And the other characters don’t have that same crippling fear…
… at least, as far as we know. See, the special thing about In Stars and Time is that it dissects Siffrin right in front of us. We know about the other characters, they get plenty of time to talk, but we know so much about Siffrin that we would not have learned otherwise. The other characters have issues, but we never… deep dive into them the same way. They’re left up to interpretation.
So… let’s do some interpreting!
Mirabelle is the easiest. She has super awful imposter syndrome, and the thing is it doesn’t really come up much outside the main route and few snack times. But that imposter syndrome is super real. If she started looping, how would she react? Would that alleviate her imposter syndrome entirely? Unlikely, it’d make her think she was blessed by the Change god. But only at first. That same imposter syndrome might make her not tell the party members, but I don’t think it would actually stop her for very long.
Mirabelle is also much louder with her emotions than Siffrin. Her emotional highs and lows would be a lot briefer, yet more frequent. She wouldn’t be empty too easily.
There is also the fact that Mirabelle’s very belief is Change. It doesn’t matter the grief it brings her with her identity, she still loves and believes in it. That’s a good thing in some respects. In each loop she’ll try something different, make each loop as unique as possible. It’ll keep her sane for longer than Siffrin… and then, she’ll start going off track. Start doing anything, everything possible to make each loop unique. Even things she really, really doesn’t want to do.
She’d probably stop herself in some regards. Never hurt her friends, never kill anyone who they don’t intend to kill. But she’d definitely hurt herself. Hurt herself in every way possible.
When she gives up, it’s almost sort of a good thing. She’ll stop trying to make any change, let anything change. But the issue with that? She’d just be giving up the same way Loop did. What would that do to her?
Now, let’s move onto Odile. In terms of emotional awareness, Odile and Siffrin are very similar. Unlike Mirabelle, apathy likely suites Odile just fine. In fact, that would probably become a defense mechanism to Odile. She wouldn’t hide that she’s in a timeloop, she doesn’t have that fear of abandonment Siffrin has. But she would definitely not bring it up unless she thought it was important. That would lead to… conflict. She would essentially become the opposite of Mirabelle, trying to speedrun, get the loops as consistent as possible, and that means only disclosing information when it is necessary rather than when it is helpful. And unlike Siffrin, who is bad at hiding things, she won’t become an actor like him and try either. She’ll embody pure apathy and not even try to hide her pain.
Moreover, Odile said it herself. She would do horrible things to keep everyone safe. Perhaps harming them, for their own good perhaps, would be one of those things. It could take a hundred loops. But in that regard, Odile has a breaking point I believe.
Bonnie can be summed up like this: no. They are a child, it would end badly. They’d probably cry every loop because everything is so scary, overwhelming, and terrifying. It doesn’t matter how smart they are, they cannot and should not go through something like that. It would be meaningless suffering.
Now, Isabeau. Isabeau is the smartest member of the group, by a long shot. Probably not in the academic sense like Odile, but in the practical sense. He has practical knowledge, he knows about relevant lore, he can extrapolate about magic theory, he’s articulate and can do quick math, and he has fantastic charisma and insight to navigate social situations. He can figure things out, sort out his emotions and be honest with his family, So, how does he suffer?
He stops trying to use any of it. He stops trying to burden his family with his struggles. After a point, he thinks “well I’m invincible, might as well go into the house on my own a couple loops to scout out!” He’ll try to take every weight from their shoulders every loop, no matter what. And the sheer pressure and repetition will break him. Until he simply cannot move anymore. Til he loops, and collapses in front of the favor tree. Unlike Odile, he’ll try to do new things, but unlike Mirabelle, he will fail because he will try to do everything at once.
Now, I feel most confident in my Mirabelle analysis, and less confident in my other ones. But there are 2 things I’ve been ignoring that are important to bring up, which I will mention here:
First, Loops were officially broken when Mirabelle froze the King in time and satisfied both Vauguarde’s and his wish simultaneously. If everyone is being transparent with Mirabelle from the start or she’s the one looping, what’s to stop her from discovering that shield ability in the first place and solving things then and there? This is a… complex concern, and one I’m unsure how to answer. But I think I know:
Siffrin is the only one capable of learning about wish craft. They are the only one from the country, the only one who knew his wish, and the only one that can read that text. If Siffrin isn’t looping, they cannot acquire the memory of memories to progress. So, they’d likely not learn the reason behind the loops, and it would take so much longer for them to break the loops. Long enough to give up.
But then there’s the second issue. What about Loop? See, in all of these, I’m operating under the assumption that Loop is Siffrin. Siffrin is the only one who knows how to wish right, their wish is what causes the loops regardless of the target, they are the catalyst. But if you have Loop, then all should be good, right!?
Well… not exactly. Loop is Siffrin, and since a looper other than Siffrin will be interacting with them, they’ll likely be a lot less mean because they only hate themself and probably won’t be mean to their family. But they’re still Siffrin. They’ll probably still hide everything they can, and while they will reveal more they’ll always be terrified of doing so. Terrified of their family knowing. And again, Loop is about as in the dark as everyone. Loop likely will not leave the favor tree, will not join the party, will not try to acquire the memory of memories. They’ll be irrevocably stuck. Unable to progress to where Siffrin reached.
Ok, I think that’s all. In hindsight these ramblings were inane, but hey! Maybe you AU writers and artists can do something with this. Au revoir!

☀Mirabel, if she lived in the world of my og story, Garden of the Never-Known Goddess☀
It is mainly a world-building and character-design exercise for myself to develop the culture of the island.
The story is simple. Instead of the miracle granting the refugees Encanto, it transported them to Bronthea's Island.
You will notice people are way healthier mentally here, and all will be explained with the respected characters.
Mirabel, for example, is not isolated from her family due to her lack of a gift, or blessing, as they would probably call it here, due to the more theistic nature of the people.
I didn't use a lot of world-building for her, but the other members of the family will have a bit more.
Btw, Kefálaio, according to Google Translate, means capital in Greek. They live in the capital of the island. To my dear Greek-speaking readers, if it doesn't make sense, please tell me about it.
Other than that, this time I encourage you to ask as many questions as possible, because I want to have a short summary written about this crossover to further help with the world-building.

HL Fanart
I wanted to bring all my fan art together in one place.
[I''d encourage everyone to click on the artists' links to discover or re-discover😉 the rest of their work and support them.💚]
Here are the works I've commissioned:
Tumblr media
Mirabel Garlick/Viviane Fern
Mirabel Garlick had always imagined herself falling in love with a witch, no doubt hoping to love without the complications inherent in the Muggle world... Yet it was a woman with no magical powers whatsoever who had finally bewitched her heart.
Tumblr media
Ominis Gaunt/Evelyne Lavandin
Tumblr media
Ominis Gaunt/Evelyne Lavandin
"Ominis Gaunt, the dissenting pure-blood wizard, struggles to blossom in the sinister shadow of his family's Manor House. Evelyne Lavandin, the Muggle-born, is a witch who has been uprooted since she was torn from her home."
All three were made by @giselsann-opencommissions
Tumblr media
This one was made by @ariparri
And here's the gift I had the pleasure of receiving from:@tamayula-hl 🙏 🫶
Tumblr media
"Ominis will make every bit of you his own, no other man will touch you for the eternity you owe him! Every beat of your heart will be only for him. He will give you such extraordinary moments that you will never consider the possibility that another man could surpass him. He will brand your body, your heart, and your soul."

Encanto: Madrigal Family Relationship Analysis Part 30 - Isabela and Bruno
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Both are the golden child of their respective generations/sibling groups. Both always under the ever-demanding pressure of strict matriarch, Alma. And both, in their own ways, emotionally drifted away from their families, even having a strained relationship with one of their sisters. Despite their outwardly different demeanors, both uncle and niece have much in common. And I believe this is one of the reasons why Isabela was one of the few who spoke highly of him during WDTAB; he was one of the few who could truly understand the pressure she was under. On his end, Bruno deeply loves his niece, just as much as he does his other nieces and nephews. And I think Bruno would be one she would listen to with utmost reverence (possibly only seconded by Dolores and Mirabel). Bruno, like with all his nieces and nephews, loves Isabela with all his heart; I believe he would help give her advice on how to better cope with the trauma of being the "Golden Child". Like with Pepa, Bruno would encourage Isabela to explore her powers while Isabela would encourage Bruno to pursue his own personal passions (i.e., acting). While Bruno and Isabela are closer to Mirabel and Pepa, respectively, the uncle and niece have a quiet understanding of one another and are all about supporting each other in being their genuine selves.

This just came to mind and I wrote it. And the drawing came after the story. I have mother way to explain this besides Alma being corrupted by the candle and the candle being evil.
—————
Julieta was with Agustín, gently rubbing Mirabel's back. She still by everyone's shock, in the nursery. The sweet girl's 6th birthday was coming up in just a few days. Since her ceremony, she had been sad, and it was worse now that her next birthday was coming up.
"Miraboo, baby, you don't have to be sad," Agustín said, pulling her into his lap and kissing her forehead. "We're gonna have a big party, just for you, just like last year."
Mirabel nodded gently, clutching Agustín's vest. She seemed to be deep in thought, and Julieta could tell something was on her mind.
"Mirabel? What's wrong? You can tell us?" Julieta asked and Mirabel hesitated but was encouraged by Agustín with a gentle squeeze.
"Mamá, do you...like...the candle?" Mirabel asked, looking up at her mother with large innocent eyes. Julieta's eyes widened, and she laughed nervously.
"What do you mean mija?" Julieta asked and Mirabel looked up at her with glassy eyes. And that just broke Julieta's heart.
"The candle," Mirabel paused, looking towards the door before leaning in, and Julieta leaned forward too. "The candle is mean. Casita says that it can understand the candle. It said the candle does mean things."
Julieta's gentle smile faltered as she glanced at Agustín. The man seemed just as confused, his eyebrows betraying said confusion. He shrugged as Julieta looked back at Mirabel. "C- Can you explain Mirabel?"
Mirabel continued to whisper. "Casita says that it tries to stop the candle, but it can't. The candle tells Abuela to say mean things and do stuff that makes the family sad."
"Mirabel, does the candle...have anything to do with how Abuela acts after your ceremony?" Agustín asked his youngest and she nodded slowly.
"Sí. Casita said that when Abuela goes to the candle room it tells her to do mean stuff," Mirabel mumbled. Julieta strained to hear her and frowned.
"Like what?" Agustín asked. Mirabel stopped, looking down at her fingers for a moment. Her parents waited patiently before the girl spoke up again.
"Casita said that...that the candle told Abuela Tío Bruno's gift was a mistake. So it scared tío Bruno away," Mirabel mumbled softly, the tears in her eyes falling. Julieta's breath was knocked out of her chest, and Agustín looked at Julieta with wide eyes. It was a mystery why Bruno suddenly disappeared, and an even bigger mystery why Alma hadn't done much about it or opposed it. Just banned his name. Made it taboo.
It always confused Julieta the most. Her mamá used to be so caring towards all of them, especially with Bruno. When they were kids, she used to defend him. But not anymore. And she wondered why.
Maybe this was the answer.
Julieta snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Mirabel sniffling, cuddling close to Agustín. "Why do you have to whisper hija?"
"Um," Mirabel shifted. She looked towards the floorboards, and Casita seemed to give her a positive response to the silent question. Mirabel leaned closer, going to Julieta's ear. "The candle is listening," she whispered. Julieta felt her heart skip a beat, out of fear. She glanced towards Mirabel, who genuinely looked terrified. "The candle always listens. It uses Casita even though Casita doesn't like it. And when it hears stuff that it doesn't like, it tells Abuela, a-and she gets mad, and makes the family sadder and-"
Mirabel was cut off as Agustín pulled her closed, her soft sobs muffled by her vest. The girl couldn't even continue the conversation and took the blue couple a minute to calm her down. Julieta sighed deeply, deciding to change the subject.
"Mirabel, you still didn't tell us what you want to do for your birthday. Anything in particular?" Julieta asked gently and Mirabel rubbed her eyes, sniffling. She looked up at her mamá before hopping off the bed and to the desk in the corner of the room. She rummaged through some pieces of paper before grabbing a few and handing them to her parents.
The two were shocked as she looked through the small pile of crude drawings. It was adorable, her attempts at trying to portray a story of some kind. But the meaning behind it was far more dark than they anticipated.
The first page was about her getting reprimanded by Alma and crying. Julieta and her husband would need to speak to her about that. The second page showed the candle, though Mirabel had put red lines and scribbled "bad" all over the page. The third page had her, at a party of some kind...blowing out the candle, which was on top of a large cake. Julieta stopped and stared at the page. She stared for a long, long time. Her face was unreadable. She seemed to be deep in thought before moving on to the last page. It was Mirabel, with the whole family, happy and smiling again. Alma was smiling, and even Bruni was there.
Julieta and Agustín set the papers down and looked at Mirabel. She was staring up at them, her wide, brown eyes reflecting off of her moonlit glasses. Agustín opened his mouth a few times, but nothing came out. He looked towards Julieta for help.
She took a deep breath before looking through the pages once more. She looked at Mirabel, who was shifting her weight on her feet again.
"Do you want a new dress? Like the one from your ceremony?" Julieta asked and Agustín raised his eyebrows in shock but didn't oppose what she was asking. He wanted to see if she was truly going to take it this far. Though, he wasn't exactly against it...frankly, much like Félix, he wasn't exactly the biggest fan of the candle.
Mirabel's face lit up, and she nodded. "Can I?" Julieta nodded her head yes.
"What kind of cake do you want?" Julieta asked, standing up from the bed.
Mirabel thought for a moment before smiling. "Can I have both chocolate and vanilla?" She asked and Julieta nodded. She picked Mirabel up, tucking her in, pressing a kiss to her forehead while Agustín did the same.
"Of course. Anything for your birthday," Julieta said softly. Just as the two adults were about to leave the room, Julieta turned back, looking towards Mirabel. "I promise you'll have the best birthday ever. The best party."
—————
Again, not much on this au 😭😭 idk, I might expand. There was originally gonna be another part where Juliet’s and Agustin had a conversation after leaving the nursery where Agustin would ask what she was doing. She would then go off to explain that earlier in childhood, Alma was normal, a loving mother. Then later, the more gifts that came into the family, the more different she seemed.
Idk, I’m gonna write for the giant siren and vampire au tho, so keep an eye out for those,,,,,,
Some art 😮‍💨 Mirabel about to blow out her candles.

Hello. I haven't spoken much on the Reverse Entry AU (Modern Office + Reverse Isekai Loop AU). That changes today!!! Have some scattered (relatively long) tidbits on this AU. Mainly background to actually get to the office part of it but, yea!
If anyone wants elaboration on anything on this list, and I do mean anything, I encourage asking!! Or any random questions on the AU general!! Or just things in general!! Make me think about things I have not considered!!
Spoilers for all of ISAT + 2Hats and the like:
Mainly Concrete
The Country -> The Company.
Well, more of a family storefront, but the similarity in those two words next to each other was too good to pass up LOL.
Said storefront was run by Siffrin’s parents, and was their life's work.
Specialized in niche craft related stuff, in both teaching people how to do them & selling materials for the crafts. 
It was a very warm & homely store, and was adored by locals and visitors alike. 
A store that felt comforting to just vibe in for a bit, if that makes sense.
Loop ends up being Siffrin’s roommate after being reverse isekai’ed :)
They do not help with rent
They are a solid night light, which they try to justify as helping with the electricity bill
They also find a mirror shortly after arrival. 
Important Points
Mirabelle & Isabeau have known each other since University and are besties!!!!!!!!!
Not 100% sure of the logistics yet, but this was too important of a point to not include
Additionally, please know at some point, Isa custom stitched the scarf-shawl Mira wears to work all the time now, and gifted it to her!
He is also responsible for the fun pattern on the vest he wears all the time too!
Bonnie, whenever they are hanging around, makes sure to sneak onto Nille’s computer, and block out time between meetings for time to breathe / snacks for the others
And they also make sure to block out like an hour of time for proper lunches as well
Back to back to back to back meetings are not fun!!!
Breaks are important!!!
I have mentioned this in a different post, but this too, is a very important point to not include here as well
Location of Living
Mirabelle & Siffrin live in the same apartment complex, but on opposite sides of it
They have briefly interacted a few times prior to being coworkers? 
But Siffrin had his hair dyed for interviews for a long time
So Mirabelle didn’t realize it was him for a while, since he started growing out the dye before formally meeting in a work environment
Siffrin simply forgor
Isabeau lives relatively close-by to where Mira & Sif live, he visits Mira sometimes!!
He may or may not have also interacted with Siffrin two (2) times prior to working together due to the above point
Nille & Bonnie live around the area Siffrin used to live before he had to move, and have resided in that area for a long time
They technically were neighbors, at one point!
Odile lives closer to the office than everyone else 
Shorter commute for in-office days 
But still in the general vicinity of everyone else's abodes ofc
Hiring Order
Mirabelle has been working in the office the longest (interned two years in a row, and was formally hired right out of University)
Isabeau is next after since he got a referral off of Mira (interned for one year before graduation, then was hired at the same time Mirabelle was)
Odile was hired to replace Euphrasie (previous senior manager to their team who got a promotion, she’s now director of the regional office)
Siffrin was hired a bit after Odile when they got more capacity, since what they were originally doing was way too much for just three people LOL
Apparently, he got a referral from someone internally, but has no idea about it!
Nille was hired a little bit after Siffrin was
She only agreed upon the role if she was granted the flexibility to pick up Bonnie from school whenever
Random RPG Equivalence Hour
Turn Based Combat = Emails 
Whether it be waiting for data to start processes, answering inquiries, so on and so forth
Sometimes those turns take literal days
It happens!
Being Frozen / Damaged = Program Freezing 
This goes for any program being used
If it freezes it inflicts small damage
It inflicts more damage if it crashes
It makes you cry on the floor if the program crashes and you can’t recover any of what you did for the past hour
It makes you regret all of your life decisions up to this moment in time if it crashes, you can’t recover anything, and you have a presentation on the stuff you were working on in 15 minutes
Misc Meetings
Mirabelle writes fanfic
Isabeau knows about this and supports her in her endeavors
Odile has read some of her works, but does not know she wrote them irl
At some point prior to working together, Mirabelle & Odile became mutuals and started trading book / fanfic recommendations to one another
Odile had a brief stint as a bartender prior to working for the office
Mainly to earn some form of income while applying for jobs / waiting for prior certifications to process and transfer properly after moving from another country
In one or another, she met Isabeau and Siffrin at separate intervals while working there
Additionally, the bar is located close to the office. A lot of happy hours happen there. It ended up serving as a networking opportunity for her LMAO
Both Nille and Bonnie moved around a lot when they were younger
At different intervals, Nille went to the same high schools as both Mirabelle & Isabeau
Nille has probably worked a lot of jobs throughout high school / university
This includes working at the same place Odile worked at for a bit, they were probably coworkers there at some point.
Maybe not necessarily a bartender but, general staff
Again, this served as a networking opportunity similar to the Odile segment ASFASDASDA
Um????
Loop somehow ends up becoming a vtuber.
Loop somehow ends up being a vtuber for the company the team works under, akin to Tony the Tiger.
Loop does this vtuber gig for approximately one (1) stream and quits right after.
((loop decided their first stream was a nuzlocke for some reason. the crafts company literally didnt ask them to. they decided this on their own volition for no apparent reason. the company literally asked for a stream where they do crafts?? anyway they named their pokemon after the party. and. well.))
As I am Indecisive, this still has a chance for change! But for now this list is slightly ordered from “concrete in my mind” to “need to let simmer more probably, but the vibes are there” to “probably not but it is a bit of a funny to consider” (this only applies to the last loop segment ASDAFA)
But yea!! Thanks for reading the ramblings :)

mirabelle "mimi" crassi (she, splatoon) character & art by @bombcollar
Tumblr media
Mimi is what's known as a "mimic" octoling, a soldier whose genetics were tampered with in order to give her a greater degree over her chromatophores. This was done in service of allowing her to disguise herself easily and work as a spy called a "surface agent," even passing as other species of sapient sea life. However, tensions have eased in recent years, so these days she works as a diplomat, using her knowledge of her former enemy's culture to facilitate communication. Although more than capable of diplomacy, Mimi is not a warm or friendly person, often gruffly encouraging at best. She has spent much of her adult life dealing with disrespect from both her fellow soldiers (who consider her surface agent position easy and soft) and from those she was trying to blend in with. She is extremely loyal to her people and worries about what will become of them in the future. In her free time she runs an extremely scathing food review blog.

jake martin (he) character & art by @maxinstoresnow
Tumblr media
Jake is 18 and fresh off the divorce of his superhero parents. His father has just moved him from Primrose--the city of superheroes--to the middle of nowhere, Pennsylvania and he's looking for an outlet for his angst. Luckily, they've arrived just as a strange new team of young superheroes has just started operation. He plans to impress them with his (limited) shape-changing ability and join the team.
He collects vinyl, is a bit obnoxious, listens to punk music, and cares very deeply for both of his homes. He's bisexual and he loves his mom. He plays guitar and gets his kicks being a nuisance to his new friends.

An alternate take on "Encanto" (2021)
Tumblr media
Back to my rewrites! Everyone raves about this movie, but I've got some things I'd rework, personally.
Tumblr media
Have Luisa and Isabela play larger roles in the story with Mirabel. It was easy for me to forget Luisa was Mirabel's sister since they don't really interact much, and she and Isabela need more time for their arcs to fully flourish. Examples include placing "Surface Pressure" later in the film so that her breakdown is more gradual as she keeps bottling up her emotions, as well as Isabela's breakdown being less obvious and more of a surprise to the audience, as she's more convincing about going along with Alma's wishes. We could also get a scene where Agustin comforts Luisa after she loses her gift, having a similar moment to Fa Zhou and Mulan.
Tumblr media
2. DON'T FORGET ANTONIO! It was stated that Antonio is like a little brother to Mirabel, but he weaves in and out of the story, his most important role being discovering his powers and providing Bruno with a new vision cave in his room. It'd be fun to see him tag along with Mirabel, Luisa, and Isabela.
Tumblr media
3. Flesh out Dolores' feelings for Mariano, and make Mariano feel like a person with substance. She only mentions it for short periods of time in WDTAB and AOY, and it comes across as very unsatisfying. When she confessed to him, I was like "Oh yeah, I forgot she liked him." Plus maybe alter Mariano a bit; the general vibe is that since he has a lot of love to give, he's quick to rush things, but I like the idea that he gets to know people a bit better to show he's serious about being in love (and idk if Dolores was serious about him wanting a lot of kids, but I think that'd also be a factor for him being careful with who to give his heart). With Mariano, he's kinda used for laughs, falling in love at random and being Isabella's punching bag twice, with Mirabel referring to him as a big, dumb, hunk. He's more of a plot device than a character. I'd probably rewrite him so that he has a crush on Isabella, which his mother (or was she his grandmother) encourages similar to Alma pushing Isabela. Given his romanticism and similar mindset of pleasing the family, he essentially only focuses on Isabela since he thinks the marriage is happening without question and tells himself to only focus on her perfectionism, inadvertently stifling her individuality.
Tumblr media
4. Embrace Mirabel's parents more. A big part of the story is how alone Mirabel feels, but at times it makes her parents look bad. They pose for a picture without her and they don't stand up for her until AFTER she goes missing. Plus I feel like their feelings about the family aren't focused on since they've already gotten used to it; seeing how inferior Agustin feels and how as the oldest, Julieta feels like she has to be perfect would've been a nice touch.
Tumblr media
5. Dolores has telepathy. Dolores knowing what everyone says at the EXACT moment they say it as well as knowing that the rats were concerned about the magic despite lacking animal communication (though Antonio could've told her, she mentioned it like she knew it firsthand) feels like she has telepathy rather than purely having superhuman hearing.
Lemme know what you think! I may edit this later.

in the spirit of the season (mutuals posting about their encanto aus) i wanted to post about mine bc i love them and am not active enough on here and wanna change that bc sharing my stuff is fun! so without further ado here they are lol
next gen au
pretty self explanatory. the story outlines what all the madrigals (mostly the grandkids) are up to in the years following the movie. mirabel gradually takes on more of a leadership role as time passes and eventually becomes the matriarch after alma's death and with enough time to prepare for the role. under her leadership, the madrigals are less shoehorned into roles and are encouraged to express themselves more freely, but being the leader still isn't easy and things still aren't perfect - while alma is still alive, mirabel often finds herself going to her for advice and repairing their bond further in the process. she also gets a gf (lorena), i've been playing around with the idea of her being an outsider that finds her way into the encanto but i would have to flesh that plot out a little more before i make it official. dolores eventually marries mariano, but only on her terms - she realizes quickly after the movie that though she loves mariano, she wants to take things slow, and mariano is more than happy to respect that. he puts in a lot of effort to understand how her gift works and help her out with it whenever he can, and for once, she feels like the one being heard. isabela, now free of her old role as the golden child, begins to let her more adventurous side out, exploring the outskirts and forests of the encanto to observe the plant life. she hones her gift and is able to bring even more exotic plant species to the encanto and starts up a very successful garden. she also ends up marrying two village women - lilli and rosa - and the three of them adopt a daughter, jacinda, together and spoil her rotten. lilli runs a flower shop and isa helps her out immensely with this. luisa finally learns to take it easy, prioritizing rest and relaxation after so many years of working hard to serve the community - though she definitely still loves to lift and hang out with the donkeys in her spare time bc old habits die hard. she probably takes over the care and raising of the donkeys as a whole bc they love her. she marries a village woman, inés, and they adopt two daughters, valentina and ciela. camilo is actually the first grandkid to settle down - he marries his childhood best friend and love of his life marco, and the two of them have six children together - amelia, imelda, brunito, ignacio, felipe, and sofia. they have their hands quite full with fatherhood but on top of that marco works as a teacher at the encanto's school while camilo continues to volunteer in the community, eventually becoming the drama director and soccer coach for the school. antonio grows up and starts his own animal sanctuary in the encanto that becomes wildly successful. he enlists dolores' help to scope out any injured or sick animals in the forests and nurses them back to health at the sanctuary, and he often accompanies isa on her trips to the forest to keep taxonomy records of the encanto's diverse wildlife. he never had much of an interest in romance - though plenty of people swoon over his kindness to the animals - but he is very fulfilled nonetheless and couldn't be happier helping take care of his animal friends. i have a more detailed timeline and bios for the kids that i'll be posting eventually but this is the main rundown of where the grandkids are at years down the line!
swap
essentially follows the plot of the movie but the sides of the family swap roles. instead of alma, pedro is the head of the family. pepa has the gift of healing food and felix is her clumsy husband, camilo is the golden child with the wonderful floral gift, dolores is the middle child with the gift of super strength, and antonio is the baby of his side of the family, cursed to a giftless existence (and being the main character of the storyline). on the other side of the family, julieta's emotions control the weather while agustin keeps her calm, luisa is the eldest with the ability to hear a pin drop from miles away, isabela is the mischievous shapeshifting middle child, and mirabel is the youngest member of the family and gains the ability to speak with animals. bruno is still bruno.  did i make this au entirely to put camilo in pretty pink outfits and make him a mean annoying gay? maybe.
pirates
the warm color family is a fearsome and renowned pirate crew descended from the notorious husband-wife pirate duo alma and pedro madrigal (the latter is dead and the former has long since retired), with pepa as the captain and felix as the first mate. pepa was estranged from her mother and siblings in her youth as she attempted to learn more about her parents' past, and she soon set out on her own to live the pirate life that alma tried so hard to keep her children out of. in the meantime, julieta and her family form their own rival crew and set sail in search of pepa to take their vengeance. bruno tries his best to be a good mama's boy and stay home, but he is soon taken hostage by the fearless captain hernando, a legendary pirate who has feuded with both madrigal sisters and their crews for a while now. he grows rather fond of his bargaining chip over time and bruno eventually becomes the captain's lover and first mate. when the sisters finally put aside their squabbles and unite to save their brother from their enemy's clutches, it's a very awkward family reunion. also everyone has their gifts and uses them to help their crew in one way or another. eventually when the two sides of the family unite, the grandkids take up a ship of their own with mirabel as the new captain. 
roommates
marco and camilo are college roommates with luca and alberto. that's literally it no linear plot just vibes. luca is a first year astronomy student, alberto is a second year student and undeclared, marco and camilo are third years and marco is majoring in education while being on the soccer team and camilo is majoring in theatre (🤢). alberto and camilo despise each other but also camilo is lowkey crushing. camilo and marco are already dating and alberto and luca are also definitely together but heavily in denial about it. they fight over dishes being left in the sink and decorate their dorm all cute
the fall 
wrote a ten chapter fic about this one so read that if you wanna know what it entails but tl;dr au where the family never recovers after the fall of casita and they go their separate ways, with dolores camilo and isa fully moving out, their whereabouts unknown - until, ten years later, mirabel takes it upon herself to track them down, reunite the family once and for all, and save the miracle for real this time. will she succeed? what have the runaways all been up to over these past ten years? read it and find out i'm not telling you! also this fic/au is quite old compared to the others so no marco 😔 fly high king 
mamma mia 
the silliest dumbest most self indulgent au ever. camilo centric of course. the storyline is literally just mamma mia but with camilo. he has twin daughters and one of them (ima) is getting married and wants to invite her other biological father to the wedding - the only problem is she doesn't know who that is, and if camilo's old diary describing all his old hookups in detail is to be believed,  there's three possibilities - marco osma, dante velazquez, and nicolas sorelli (the latter two are ocs, i'll probably post their bios at some point lol also nicolas is trans so he's definitely not the other dad but he's stealth so he's just going along for the ride). she invites all three of them to her wedding and they reunite with camilo for the first time in twenty years. drama ensues. camilo marries marco at the end regardless of if he's the dad or not (but he probably is - they never find out for sure). isa is tanya (so lilli is pepper ofc) and mirabel is rosie (except she doesn't end up with one of the dads at the end bc she actually respects herself). ima's fiancées identity is yet to be determined bc i don't have a partner oc for her but i do know she's a lesbian so. gay greek weddings! camilo in overalls! love wins!
runaway camilo 
this one is a rewrite of the canon plot to a degree but not really enough to be considered a full on au. plays with the scrapped concept of camilo looking completely different after the fall of casita that didn't make it into the final movie, which is like one of my favorite concepts ever especially because of how easily it plays into trans camilo. in this rewrite, camilo has basically used his gift to masculinize himself perpetually since his ceremony, which all but cures his dysphoria - that is, until casita falls, he loses the gift he had become dependent on, and it all blows up in his face. he's unrecognizable when the dust clears, and rather than be seen in such a state, he flees the scene and goes missing just around the same time as mirabel. the family is split as pepa and felix go looking for their son while the cool color family goes looking for mirabel, and both are found within a few days - camilo in the depths of the forest, skin scraped and clothes ragged from running into the forest with reckless abandon, practically digging his own grave and ready to give up for good. when he's found, it takes a LONG time for him to allow anyone to see him, much less recover from the trauma. the rewrite basically involves these events and the aftermath. luckily camilo does get his gift back when casita is rebuilt but the scars are forever and he probably still has nightmares about losing his gift well into adulthood and has to learn to become comfortable going without his gift for short bouts of time in order to get more comfortable lest the worst case scenario happens again! more or less a transmilo angst fest add-on to the main plot of the movie. mimi needs a hug 💔
