You can also find the lore for this AU on my profile using the #mirabel’s harem tag.
Speed paint (is that what you call this?) My eyes and fingers gave up on it. 😗🏳️

The triplets doing something at the same time in true creepy triplet fashion
Always open to prompts! The only time I'm not is if the ask box is closed 😁 (And I promise to announce if that's ever the case)
The triplets didn't often do things at the same time, but when they did it was noticeable. It could be downright eerie.
The first instance Mirabel noticed was when Antonio dropped a plate. Thankfully, the plate didn't break, but all three triplets looked up at the exact same time, standing up in tandem and even had the same concerned looks on their faces. For the first time, Mirabel noticed a true resemblance between her mother, aunt and uncle.
But it was only a small thing. Easy to brush off.
However, those little moments kept piling up and up. Only Abuela, Félix and Agustín didn't seem to notice. Meanwhile, the Madrigal kids were all increasingly aware of the "weird triplet thing" and unnerved whenever it happened.
It was weird. How could three separate people, who were all so different, be so in sync?
Another time was when Camilo was starting a water balloon fight. He and Mirabel tip-toed into the garden. The triplets were sitting on the back steps.
Without even turning around, the three of them said, "Don't even think about it."
"How did you know!?" Camilo demanded. He looked as freaked out as Mirabel felt.
It was even weirder when Julieta, Bruno and Pepa turned to face them at the exact same time.
"We know," they said flatly. It was getting ridiculous.
"Knock it off," Mirabel said, tense as a spring.
Julieta's smile was so sweet it verged on openly mocking. "Knock what off, mija?" she asked. She was clearly biting back laughter.
"That!" Mirabel pointed between them. "The weird triplet thing!"
"You're gonna have to clarify," Bruno said, hands clasped and shoulders back in an impression of Abuela. "We do a lot of weird triplet things."
"You keep doing things at the same time," Camilo said, gripping one of the water balloons so tightly that Mirabel was surprised it didn't pop. "And saying things at the same time!"
The triplets looked at each other, eyebrows raised. They shrugged, only further proving the point.
"Eh," Pepa said. "We don't even notice anymore."
"It's weird," Camilo said.
"I think it's sweet," Julieta said, nose in the air.
With an outright mischievous grin, Bruno added; "It's a triplet thing. You wouldn't get it."
Mirabel threw her water balloon, but Bruno ducked, laughing at her. It sailed harmlessly overhead, bursting on the grass. Casita rattled and Mirabel knew the house was laughing at her and Camilo too.
This is an Encanto take that I’m sure has been said a BUNCH of times by now, but I just need to give more Mirabel appreciation, because she is such an amazing protagonist. When the film first came out, she sadly wasn’t given the recognition she deserved, and even people today don’t see her as all that, which is fine but still, I think it’s worth acknowledging how amazing she is.
I could honestly write a whole book about why Mirabel is so likable, how great she is because I just love her so much. One of the main important reasons why I love her character so much is that she isn’t a depressed sad sack. She’s the only Madrigal child who had no gift, in a huge family where that was what they were known for. The filmmakers could have so easily made her a character who was depressed 24/7, and that honesty SEEMED to be something they were going for in the beginning, as concept art shows that her sad mood would reflect the look of the house, a dark and depressing tone, but thank god that’s not what happened. Instead, Mirabel is a determined bubbly character who constantly keeps moving forward, no matter how bleak the situation. She has her own insecurities, her own flaws and fears, yet in the end she’s a good person, a girl who just wants to make her family proud. Her motivation for the film is what makes me love her so much, it’s not even that she wants a power and mopes about how it sucks that she doesn’t have one (ahem like the fandom does), she instead just wants to fit in with her family and shine like they do. She’s so kind and caring to others, and is just a bundle of joy bursting with personality. Some may think she’s annoyingly “quirky”, but I for one LOVE how expressive she is, how she clearly has a sense of humor and can be a bit of a clumsy but lovable goofball from time to time. Even if you don’t think some of her comedic lines in the film are funny, you have to at least admire how it shows she’s not wooden and boring. And that’s another thing, if you don’t like her fine, but I will admit that it does upset me when I see people call her boring. Mirabel has got to be one of the most if not THE most interesting characters in the movie. She has so many layers to her, she feels like a real person I would meet in real life, someone who’s trying their best, but flawed and playful. Her motivation and her purpose in the movie to me is what makes her interesting, what makes her amazing because she’s just such a good character. She spent years trying to fit in and find herself, only to then be able to see that other side of her family that they could never show themselves, and was the one who was able to encourage them in the end to embrace who they are, they don’t need to hide anymore. Mirabel definitely shines in her own way. So many people can relate to her, you FEEL for a character like her and you want to see her succeed. She’s imperfect, she’s finding her place as the filmmakers described, and I cannot tell you how grateful I feel to have a character like her put to screen because I think we all have a little bit of Mirabel in all of us. She’s special in her own way, STRONG in her own way, because of how brave, determined, hopeful, and lively she is. The fact that she was able to keep pushing through with a positive smile on her face despite all the hurtful obstacles that came her way is something truly amazing, and it’s one of the main reasons why I love her. Even though I want to see more future encanto content from the perspective of the other characters, I definitely would love to follow her around again sometime, because it’s an entertaining emotional fun ride. This is honestly only the surface of why I love her so much, and I’ll definitely say more in the future, but for now, I had to get some of it out! 🦋❤️
