Part of a larger fic, but can stand on its own and I wanted to share it:
Luisa & Alma
The burning in her chest and the warmth in her cheeks made Luisa feel like she was melting, in the best way possible.
Like an ice cube on a hot sunny day.
It was a Friday afternoon and the sky was clear and the birds were singing and she was sitting by a lake with her Abuela, both of them dangling their feet in the water.
They were both high as hell.
It was… an experience for sure for the girl.
Luisa had never even smoked before a few months ago and now she was sitting here with her actual Abuela sharing a joint.
If she thought too long about why she was getting high with her grandmother, Luisa’s chest would start to ache and she would burst into tears again the way she had when they’d first asked her to do this.
Abuela was getting older. It was a fact they all knew.
She was also getting weaker.
Sicker.
And things that used to come easy to her now brought her pain.
They could see it in every step she took, how she was slowing down.
So she coped how she could, and when Mamá’s food stopped helping her, Abuela turned to more natural substances, provided by Isabela.
She was relying on it more now.
But their grandmother also didn’t like to be the only person with her senses impaired, so she often asked the other adult Madrigals to join her.
When none of her children or suegros were available, she had turned to Isabela and Dolores.
Who had then wrapped in Luisa once it became clear she actually enjoyed the partaking of smoke sessions, and wasn’t just attempting and finding it not for herself, or doing so because she felt like she should.
So now here Luisa was.
High with her Abuela.
Abuela offered her the last of the joint and she took it.
As she blew out smoke, her grandmother started speaking.
“My Luisita. I see so much of your mother in you.” When Luisa turned, Abuela was surveying her with affection. She reached out with a shaking hand and patted Luisa on the cheek.
“So strong. So smart and insightful.” Abuela casts her face down, filled with shame.
“So willing to give up yourself for others.” Abuela looks back up at Luisa. “I’m sorry I didn’t see you for so long.”
It’s the first time Luisa has actually gotten a personal apology from her Abuela since everything has happened.
Abuela of course loosened the reigns and things are better now and Luisa has gotten some apologies, but they've been generic or to the family as a whole.
She appreciates this even if it makes her chest ache because well, she thinks Abuela might be trying to cover her bases as she gets weaker and Luisa hates it, because she’s longed for this apology, this remorse, but she also hates how its coming. Hates what she’s now fearing as each day passes.
She's not sure what they'll do when the day comes.
She prays it's not soon.
The apology is a lot.
Tears are immediately in Luisa’s eyes.
Abuela uses her thumb to stroke Luisa’s cheek and wipe away the first tears that fall.
“Abuela I—“
Abuela just shakes her head.
“No, no need to say anything. Unless you want to yell at me maybe.” She shakes her head again. “I don’t deserve forgiveness easily. I almost ruined us.” That last parts slips out as a whisper, but Luisa hears it.
She scoops her grandmother into her arms, which causes Abuela to let out a stunned cry before she relaxes into the embrace.
“Te quiero Abuela.” Luisa lets out through her tears.
She doesn’t forgive her grandmother for what she’s done in the past, but Luisa is more than willing to move forward. She doesn’t want to hold on to bitterness.
Luisa can feel Abuela stroking her back as she starts to hum.
It sparks a memory of when she was five years old and had just gotten her gift.
She’d dropped a brick on her own foot and was inconsolable over it, even though the physical pain was gone in an instant thanks to her madre.
Abuela had taken her into her room and they’d sat in her fancy rocking chair and she’d held Luisa tight to her chest and sang until her tears slowed.
Right now it makes more tears come to her eyes, even as Luisa holds her grandmother tighter.
She wants to cherish this.
Who knows how much longer she can?

All this aroace character shipcourse has proven to me that a majority of people that interact in fandom cannot actually interact with characters and media outside of shipping and genuinely I believe you need to learn how to interact with media outside of shipping.

I got my niece some Encanto stuff for her birthday and one of them was a book with brief character bios that came with a bunch of small figures. The bio for Bruno, interestingly enough, says he was the “star” of the family once — it kinda makes him sound like a parallel to Isa instead of Mirabel
That’s a pretty cool idea, actually, and does kinda make sense — iirc the directors said Alma would depend on Bruno’s gift a lot because of the unpredictable trauma of losing Pedro. While his gift is overall different from Isa’s, it makes sense Alma would cling to their gifts the most and make them out to be Golden Children — Julieta’s gift is the most dependable so it’s easy to see it being taken for granted/her being way overworked like Luisa, and while Pepa’s gift is the most similar to Isa’s of the triplets (controlling the weather and therefore affecting the crops/growing and to a degree controlling plants themselves), Pepa has less control over her gift. Shoot, when you compare the way Alma talks to Pepa and the way she talks to Mirabel, it’s pretty similar (criticism, reprimanding, frustration)
Bruno’s gift theoretically offers a chance to prepare for/change the future while Isa’s gift is on the surface level so benign is can only mean stability — you don’t need flowers to fight a war, so if you’re given the ability to grow a bunch of flowers you probably don’t have to worry about losing everything and dying. You Can Keep Yourself Safe vs You Are Safe
The difference I guess is Julieta isn’t currently going through major burnout and ending overwhelmed with the need to protect her community and family, while Pepa isn’t afraid to snap back a bit (the advantage of age, having a solid support system in their loving spouses, having to cope with basically losing their brother, and growing up before Alma worried about losing their miracle might’ve contributed to them having a slightly better handle on their mental health and self worth)
Bruno, going off this random page in this random book for small kids, could be a dark-end parallel to Isa — someone who spent years of their life trying to do everything Alma and the town asked for to their own detriment. I can also remember a couple occasions where their body language also notably changes around/when thinking about Alma — Bruno shrinks down when he thinks about her, Isa straightened her posture, both looked apprehensive. Isa was going to waste her life marrying and having babies with a man she didn’t love and Bruno literally lost ten years of his life in the walls of Casita. The difference is Bruno’s once-praised gift eventually turned to something hated and he turned from the golden child to scapegoat, while Isa’s gift is largely unexplored by her to keep it palatable to help her avoid losing the golden child status
Or something idk y’all I’ve been babysitting all week and I’m Tired

I thought about Encanto [insert name for fictional Colombia here] being a world in missing link and Player having a fun time being around this big family unit where (almost) every member has unique magical powers and are beloved by the town for their prowess and leadership, and thinking “hey, this bond feels kinda familiar, I wonder why”
And then that turned into me thinking about how parallels could potentially be drawn between Encanto’s story and whatever’s going on with Eph’s descendants and ngl y’all, I got a lil lightheaded. Got a lil too worked up over that for my own good
