encanto headcanon collection #30493929

Because she's constantly listening to people, Dolores is fluent in every language spoken in the Encanto. she hasn't told anyone except Mariano this (it's not a secret, just nobody else has asked)

Camilo upstages EVERY QUINCEANERA. doesn't matter HOW nice and unique the dress you find is, doesn't matter if you hide it from him, he WILL show up in a dress that's prettier and more ostentatious. nobody knows if he's pulling them from magazines or making them up or what. he has every gender but mainly his mom yells at him for being rude, says if he's going to be a woman he 'needs to be uglier'

Dolores doesn't get sensory overload in crowds. Her favourite hobby is sitting down listening to 18 peoples drama simultaneously. she gets extremely overwhelmed in quiet rooms when there's no other sounds to focus on except the things she's actually supposed to be listening to

Dolores is extremely face blind and can't ready body language at all, she completely relies on listening to people's bodies to recognise people and their feelings. When she loses her gift it becomes extremely obvious she is Very Autistic (she doesn't mind)

Bruno can magically sense how much time has passed, what time of day it is etc with perfect precision. Again nobody knows this until he loses his gift and reveals he has never in his life learned how to read a clock

Mirabel shuts out her parents a lot and isn't very close to them even though they get on fine. there is NO REASON for this she's just 15. they've literally never done anything wrong she's just like 'idk they don't understand me'

(but because she's not going through any kind of supernatural crisis they think she's doing great. smoothest adolescence ever. nailed it)

(when isabela went through puberty she just RUINED the local ecosystem)

Alma is openly socialist, anti-war, Encanto is a refuge of peace etc etc, so gay couples have gotten married in their Encanto. this headcanon exists simultaneously with 'alma sleeps with women because she's homophobic': Alma can never bring herself to sleep with another man since Pedro but sex with women 'doesn't count' so she HAS absolutely gotten down with several other old women in the village. gay love is real but not for her. rip

Bruno sold ONE emerald vision plate in 1951 and that's the sum of the entire family's money, but nobody understands money so all he uses it for is for allowance for the kids

Bruno is actually very good-natured about being mocked or laughed at. Because most people in the village would treat him with terrified politeness he considers it an upgrade

Bruno is making NO effort to counter the rumours about him at this point, he's too old, local children sneak up to him and ask if it's true he eats brains and he's just deadass like 'wouldn't you like to know'

Dolores has perfect recall with sounds/words but she pretends not to. life is easier that way

Antonio can talk to bugs they mainly just sit around saying things like 'Leaves' and 'it's sunny'. Isabela starts keeping bugs with him. sometimes they just sit down and have Bug Conversations. ('Antonio, I like leaves' 'Leaves')

As an aunt Julieta is incredibly fun, but Pepa is just Another Mom But Stricter. rip.

Bruno is just DOGSHIT at giving presents. they still bring up when he gave Julieta a hammer for Christmas

Song for little sister. Canción para hermanita.

Little headcanon/speculation for the Mirabirthday:

In the first minutes of the movie, we see Mirababy-turning-five in the nursery, getting told the story of the miracle, presumably for the first time in her life. She also gets to see and learning of the magic candle. While it’s a part of initiation for the gift receiving, it’s staged as if she gets introduced to the whole deal only now. Seemingly the magic was regarded as regular part of her family’s life up to that moment, until she learns of origin and value of it. The candle, meanwhile, is always at full display, reminding everyone of the significance of miracle and the cost of it. We also get a view of interior of nursery, the walls adorned with Mirabel’s drawings of her family members and herself as sort of fairy being, as anticipation of her own upcoming magical power. There are almost all family members depicted – Abuela, Mira’s parents, sisters, aunt, cousin, save for Félix and Camilo and, most poignant, Bruno. Well, maybe, Mira wasn’t too close to her peer cousin (boys and girls aren’t always getting along in that age, after all), and I have no ready explanation for Félix (but wait for it), and absence of Bruno just further confirms that Mira is not only having no memories of her uncle while coming of age, she didn’t even acknowledge his presence when he was around. Where I’m going with all of that? I'm getting closer to the point.

Mirabel’s eye condition, requiring the glasses to wear, is a myopia (it was confirmed by Jared Bush in the Q&A online session) she appears to share with her father. Now, regarding if the village even has practicing optometrist to identify condition this early in life, it could have been some time until it became apparent for the people to notice, along with the little kid obtaining verbosity to descript it herself. We don’t see anything before the birthday, so may it be it was detected only recently, and she’s got the glasses shortly before the events of the movie? (Also, I presume, near-sightedness is a metaphor for Mirabel, being too focused on her own worth inside of family, lacking ability to see the struggles other family members undergo with the burden of miracle, and, eventually, the issue on the larger scope, and, due her short temper and go-get attitude, missing proverbial foresight. In this regard, she even serves as dualist to Bruno for the most of the story, despite both having similar concerns for others. But this is the subject for different topic I eventually want to address. Agustín also doesn’t appear to be particularly observant about other’s feelings, or at least, able to read the room, though in his case, it may be general absent-mindedness and/or social awkwardness.)

For the reason (people sometimes picking on) why her mother not appearing to cure it for her, while “official” answer given was her not seeing eye condition as serious defect but instead a part of charm, it’s very wholesome and humanitarian explanation, but I’m going with different theory: Julieta’s ability doesn’t expand beyond inflicted injuries and diseases, she can’t fix conditions that are woven into one’s DNA and run in generations. Or maybe her powers are only helping people with increasing their own immunity and the speed of regeneration from the harm, so it doesn’t work with congenital defects either.

My assumption is, it’s even possible, the glasses were in fact a present for Mirabel for her fifth birthday, with “Abre los ojos” line referring not just to the event of getting introduced to the family’s legacy and upcoming duty to carry it, but to the simultaneous event of obtaining ability of clear sight (both literal and figurative). And for the referred above absence of imagery of Bruno in Mira’s drawings, it’s because, while she might be aware of his existence, she just didn’t have the opportunity to get clear look of him, due his general disengagement in gatherings and the growing distance from the rest of family (it also may be, as Mirabel herself, he used to avoid being caught on the camera for his own reasons – seeing himself not worthy or dismissive of his own image, so no definitive portraits of him in the house, adult ones at least). That, and her being too short to reach to that family tree picture in the dinner room.

One thing that detracts my reasoning is, on that fairy self-portrait Mira depicts herself with glasses too, but maybe, she was aware of getting them for present this day and had drawn the picture in advance while anticipating the fateful event. There are always some loophole to maintain integrity of headcanons, you see:D

Headcanon #7: Now that they are not betrothed, Isabela likes to prank Mariano. Dolores absolutely hates her picking on her himbo, but Isabela cannot ever seem to resist. She will oftentimes even rope Mirabel into it, writing her plan on a piece of paper as the both of them wordlessly pull it off in order to keep Dolores from overhearing and spoiling their plans. They usually do not do anything too bad to him, but they usually manage to get him somehow.

Whatever you do, don't spend today thinking about how Bruno watched Mirabel go into Isabela's room to save the miracle "with a huuug", went back into the walls, and didn't know anything else about the plot until the house started to break

Don't think about how, as far as Bruno knows (because What Else Can I Do? takes place outside and on Abuela's tower, where Bruno isn't) the cracks never started to heal

Don't think about how, as far as Bruno knows when he Jorge-yeets his way out the house, Mirabel failed, and he still gets on the horse and goes to defend her

Don't think about how no one else would have done that.

Headcanon:

Bruno will sing little songs to himself and slowly get carried away, singing louder and eventually start dancing around while belting out the song passionately.

He doesn't notice people watching him right away, and when he does suddenly notice he's being watched, he screams. If he's holding something, it gets thrown.

First Christmas together.

*Antonio unwraps a book from Elena*

"*Baby names and meanings?*"

"Yeah, you work so hard finding human names for your animal friends, I thought a book like this would make it easier. But don't worry I got you something fun too"

Antonio: "I like the book, Thank you!"

Camilo: "Hey bro, what's my name mean?

Antonio: "helper to the priest or... nobble?

Pepa: "noble, Tonito"

Mirabel: ooh do me!

Antonio: ...wond- wondru... wondrous!

Mirabel: aw!

Bruno: sounds about right kid.

Luisa: could you do me?

*Antonio flips through and sounds it out* : ren-own-wd warrior

Luisa: oh wow. Hey Do Tio Bruno!

Elena: or don't.

Bruno: what does that mean?

*Antonio flips again*: brown.

Bruno: what?!

Antonio: your name just means brown.

Bruno: you named me Brown?!

Alma: I named you Bruno!

Isabela, 3-6 years old: *playing in mud, eating flowers she grew*

Alma: dear i think it's time you start liking girlier stuff

Isabela: ok

Isabela: *starts liking girls*

Imagine Pepa seeing Dolores, with her gift making her want quiet and getting overwhelmelmed,someone with a gift that made things just too much, and thinking of Bruno.

When she sees Camilo transforming and acting theatrical and thinking of her brother, who also loved theater and dramatic performances.

and her sweet little Antonio, a soft spoken and shy boy, a boy who opens up to animals, and thinks of her brother. She thinks of his little animal friends.

She sees fragments of her lost brother whenever she looks at her children, wondering what happened to her brother.

Do you have any NSFW Pepa and Felix headcanon, also NSFW Julieta and Agustin Headcanon

I thought you'd never ask! Some of these can be read in a few of my fics of these two.

Julieta X Agustin

I mentioned in a previous headcanon post that they lost their virginities to each other, but both were for different reasons. Julieta wanted her first time to be with someone special, not necessarily waiting until marriage (she’s not as serious about that as Alma is), but with someone she knew for a fact she was going to marry. Agustin was just a dork that never kissed a girl before Julieta came along.

They’re always private about their sex lives. When Julieta gave the girls the talk, her own sex life was out of the conversation.

They also never have sex anywhere outside of the bedroom. If they’re feeling a little more adventurous, they would do it in the shower together.

Their first time having sex did involve an accident. Julieta and Agustin ended up bumping heads after Agustin attempted to get up after they finished.

Julieta was never angry at him for it. She found it pretty funny. And getting an after-sex arepa was the cherry on top.

Ever since then, they have been in several sex related accidents. Every time they tried experimenting, it would result in an accident. Agustin is just that much of an accident magnet.

Because of this, they mostly stick with vanilla sex.

Agustin prefers to be on the bottom, where Julieta prefers to be on top.

As an add on, both of their favorite positions are Cowgirl or Reverse Cowgirl.

Pepa X Felix

Both of them are EXTREMELY vocal in bed. Sometimes, they would have to remind themselves or even each other that someone is home whenever they’re about to go down on each other.

They LOVE to experiment. They would use blindfolds, tie each other up, you name it. The blindfold is Pepa’s favorite, though.

Pepa was a very rebellious child, so she lost her virginity when she was only fourteen. Felix lost his at sixteen.

Along with being super vocal, they also LOVE to do dirty talk with each other. Sometimes, they get so carried away that they may accidentally traumatize another family member if, on the off chance, they got home early.

There has not been a single room in Casita that Pepa and Felix have not had sex in. Casita would even get annoyed sometimes and push them to another more private room.

Pepa is very direct in what she wants and doesn’t want. This has massively helped her and Felix’s sex life because their communication and consent were extremely clear.

Pepa prefers to be the sub most of the time, mainly because she loves being taken care of, but she also has her moments where she wants to be on top.

Felix’s favorite positions are Cowgirl and Reverse Cowgirl, but Pepa’s favorites are Missionary and Doggy (she's a bit of a pillow princess).

Whenever they finish, they always kiss as a cool down. They also kiss as a warm up because they can never get enough of each other.

Hi! Do you have any headcanons about what Dolores' and Mariano's (like, the Mariano from Rumble Thy Bellyful) wedding will be like?

WOW THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION... If I were to write that fic, how would it go...?

I think a lot of the story would revolve around Alma, Pepa, and Dolores, who would all agree upon a very big traditional wedding. I think it would be a lot of Alma & Pepa re-hashing what went wrong with Pepa's wedding as they carry out the bulk of Dolores' wedding planning, and Dolores, starry-eyed, completely indifferent to anything but the notion of marrying Mariano, totally neutral on every decision, outwardly stoic and inwardly just glowing with joy. I think both Alma and Pepa lose a little control of the situation, I think some stuff happens, I think it's probably Bruno's fault just because that's funny, and I think it all goes disastrously wrong...

And then Pepa and Alma look at each other, I think, re-living the moment last time, and reflecting on how things were done then, and now looking to Dolores and Mariano, because Mariano (with help from Mirabel and Camilo and Antonio, of course, who else, it's my fic) has put together this ragtag romantic thing for her and it's the only thing in the world she cares about. Dolores, in a ruined dress and no shoes, just radiantly happy.

And Alma and Pepa laugh it off, and Bruno finally manages to break the tension with laughter, and they hand things over to Félix, because he's the guy who knows how to have a good time under any circumstances, and they put together a messy little party anyway. ("Her wedding was just like ours," muses a dreamy Félix, "The most beautiful day in my life... Don't you remember?" And Pepa does remember.)

...

...Gosh, that was a lot more detailed than I was planning on making my answer. But there, that's how it would happen! I think Bruno would especially be the butt of this episode. I think Pepa and Alma learn something valuable in this episode and Bruno will never in his life learn why he shoudn't have made the rain joke at Pepa's wedding.

I guess Mirabel or Camilo's POV would appear somewhere. They're probably riffing about what they want from a future wedding, where every time they revisit the scenario Camilo wildly changes the gender and costume of his future wedding.

It's not planned, but Isabela ends up being the best man.

«Blessing» (Encanto fan comic)

An idea (and eventual part of headcanon) all the way from year ago. Whole scenario was based on that one brief interaction of Agustín with Bruno during “All of You”. Sadly, I’ve got disappointed with myself in process and left it unfinished for indefinite time, and as result, decided to rework it from scratch now, but the scenario stayed the same.

At the time, it wasn’t clear if in canon Agustín was always part of Encanto or arrived here as adult (info from artbook says he came “from big city”), but later it was confirmed by director Bush that all inhabitants of the village were either born here or are refugees from 50 years ago, and it’s just Agustín’s family that has city roots. I decided to leave that aspect ambiguous, as it had no specific bearing on the conversation, but originally it was supposed he wasn’t (and isn’t at the moment) deeply familiar with the Madrigal family and its hierarchy. My headcanon has been updated since that, so expect eventual follow-up on that backstory.

Anyway, whatever connection did stem from that, it wasn’t developed further much in next 20+ years due to Bruno growing progressively more reclusive and reluctant to forge relationships beyond his blood relatives. But as feeling of disconnection becomes stronger, he’s still determined to protect happiness of his loved ones, and not above using benefit of indisputable trust people have in his words, especially when his guts saying it will be right. He (and the rest of Madrigals) may not realize full extent of powers given to him, but as they’re based in natural traits, his are rooted in sharp intuition which, in some cases, doesn’t even require activation of visions. For why he’s so confident on the matter in this case… the story for another time.

Headcanon #6: Mirabel is always sewing embroidered decorations on Isabela's dresses nowadays. In an effort to grow closer with her baby sister, Isabela asks for little things for her dresses and proudly displays them to anyone that is around, declaring that her little sister did that and that she is amazingly talented. Mirabel, of course, is beyond ecstatic when Isabela does this. It's just one way that Isabela is trying to make up for time lost.

Headcanon about Julieta: her magic is in the act of giving the food to someone

Following my last drawing, I want to talk a little about my headcanon. As I said, I don't think her healing magic *is* her cooking. Why would she spend her days in the town waiting for the people to come to her? She could, Idk, send any of the kids, or just set the table with the food and go on with her day.

We have the townspeople...

...and Agustín...

... And here Mirabel is waiting for the arepa.

She was always there offering the food.

I don't know, for me it's more interesting. I read a lot of fanfic where something happens and, oh, don't worry, Julieta is not here but we have her arepas in the kitchen, everything is good! Where is the angst?? Haha.

Bruno spending 10 years without her healing, because, yeah, he can steal her food, but she isn't giving it to him. It's not her act of love of feeding her dear ones.

Also, speaking about the love, it could be interesting if her healing doesn't work because she is upset with you. Or if she could make you ill too.

Ok but

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Encanto crossover

Who gets along best with who

'Literally? The greatest question I have ever been asked.'

Raph - Raph-a-doodle is the Biggest of Big Brothers and a classic Nurturer. He'd clock Mirabel a mile off and just stick to her like glue. Hop up on my shoulders kiddo; it's a long walk back to, whaddaya call it, Casita? Let me reach that for you, gimme a hug, don't listen to Leo, he's a jerk, sure I'll listen to you play the accordion, family pressure can be a lot, can't it? Wanna talk? Donnie - Isabela. Isabela every single day. Donnie likes a girl with a bit of moxy, and they'd just be the ultimate Sass Team; making snarky comments under their breath and exhanging Meaningful Looks whenever anyone says anything. Then they'd sneak off and just infodump on each other about plants and tech and ugh, siblings amiright? Scoff.

Leo - Camilo and Leo would be an unstoppable gremlin team. The pranks? Off the chain. The puns? Relentless. It'd get to the point where they just exist near Isabela and she's screaming at them to leave her alone, stop breathing so loudly, ABUELA!! Also Leo comes away from the vacation with about ten filthy Spanish swears in his repitoire and Camilo is constantly doing backflips off the back of La Casita screaming "HOT SOUP!!"

Mikey - Ohmigosh, Mikey would LOVE Julieta; he's never had a Mom figure, so he'd perch on a stool in her kitchen and hand her whatever she needs and ask her questions about what she's cooking. Juli would pat him on the head and say what a nice, helpful young man (?) he is, and Mikey would just glow. He's calling her Tia by the end of the second day, and she's pinching his cheeks and stuffing his suitcase full of buñuelos for the trip home.

Splinter - I'm ashamed to say it, but Dad's off to the bar with the FAB Trio, getting sloshed and telling them stories of the golden days. Bruno's furiously taking notes for incorporating martial arts (safely!!!) into his telenovelas, and Agustín and Félix are just having a blast. A new dad joke every thirty seconds, and they're all just roaring with laughter, slapping each other on the back and pissing off the entire Encanto. When are these, um, guests leaving, again???

Did Bruno befriend the rats before or after he disappeared? Because when he’s telling Mirabel about how he read the future after she didn’t get a gift, there isn’t a rat in sight. And if Bruno befriended the rats in the walls after he disappeared then that means Camilo saw him at some point after he vanished.

In ‘We Don’t Talk About Bruno’, Camilo says that Bruno is seven feet tall with rats along his back and to a kid, an adult can seem seven feet tall, and seeing disheveled, supposed-to-be-missing Bruno would have been a startling sight to little Camilo which explains why he sees him so grimly. And if Bruno only befriended the rats after he disappeared, then that means Camilo saw him sometime after that.

Bruno Saw what happened to Amelia Earhart
