Of course I have more to say about this resident 8 Au!

First I love the idea you have for the family it honestly all seems really cool. Though I do think for Julieta instead of her hand spontaneously combusting, little cuts appear and the black mold starts leaking out from it and wrapping around her hands at random making it hard to do whatever it is that you was doing and if she's making food/touches food it completely infects the food in mold. I think for Alma it was an experiment on her throat because she likes to argue so much You can see the incision marks and sometimes The incision marks will open up and leak black she can still can talk but her voice is a little bit more grainy and sometimes it's hard for her to talk so she has to drink water more and will sometimes not talk to try and save her voice.

The Dimitrescu family is painfully aware of the fact that Mirabel likes her family more than them. Which is why I feel like they had the first response that they did because in all I feel like that family is a very territorial and aggressive even when they try not to be. so when they first meet something that they view as a threat which was unfortunately the rest of mirabel's family (they are a threat to their relationship to Maribel) their instincts take over and make them act a little bit more aggressive but the more time that they spend with the family the less aggressive they are it took them a while (bela and Isabela did bond over the fact that they had similar names) but they eventually were fairly friendly with most of them (they tolerate the men.)

When it comes to Ethan maribel's entire house obviously is a safe area except for maybe one moment when Miranda shows up at random to "check in" on Mirable. I 100% believe that Maribel or maybe even some of her family members helped him in the final fight against Miranda and he lives! and Mirabel not trusting Chris or blue umbrella pulled him, Mia (I'm pretty sure she was also kidnapped again) and Rose into hiding with her and her family because I do not want them in umbrella custody or anywhere near that facility! only bad things happen I want them all to be happy in the end and away from all of that horribleness!

As for art! I would love to see the family fussing over Mirabel maybe when they had first gotten there or just in general how they act with her? and maybe a couple of Antonio following her around? And possibly the family and the Dimitrescu family interacting? Anything really you want to draw for it I would love to see it! I really enjoy your art style and know just how time consuming it can be!

RESIDENT EVIL 8 GRAHHHH 👺💪💪

No but uh. I'm glad you agree, and the Julieta one is so much better <333 ALSO THE ALMA ONE WORKS❗❗ That was actually similar to what I was thinking, so incision, maybe a failed attempt at trying to remove her vocal chords?? L Miranda but W Mirabel for letting her keep them ig 😭😭

Also Alcina and her daughters are just gonna have to tough it out cuz with the way they act??? Listen, Mirabel is optimistic, but not that optimistic 💀💀 and the fact that they were passive-agressive to her family (straight up aggressive to the men), doesn't help that 🗿 but at least they somewhatade up and even if they don't like each other, they tolerate each other for Mirabel's sake <\\3

ALAO ETHAN LETS GOOOOO I know he was scared out of his mind when Mirabel shoved him to a cupboard and he heard Miranda's voice the next second. He also learned that Mirabel is Mirands's favorite in that moment 🤧 maybe he uses that to an advantage?? I mean sure the Duke is there, but Mirabel or her family might be able to get rarer items, for cheaper too 💀 plus they might be more helpful in finding Rose. You know how frustrating it was to hear "Look a little closer 🤓☝"

HE LIVES AND GETS TO RAISE ROSE LETS GOOOO 🦅🦅🦅 ALSO I AGREE WITH NO UMBRELLA BUT...I thought the B.S.A.A was good??? But maybe I'm trippin', I mean it is RE, and Mia is sorta the problem to all this. Like if she just told Ethan the truth a lot of things could've been avoided 🥸 anyway, I think Ethan staying with the Madrigals (maybe permanently or just near wherever they were relocated in Colombia) is a cool idea, they can help him with Rose <333

AND ART YEAHHHGG OF COURSE I CAN I LOVE THIS AU <33 I really appreciate the ideas and??? I'm glad you love it 🤭🤭 I originally was working on it but got busy hence why it took me. A week to past this rather than a few days BUT HOPEFULLY IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN 🤓☝

Anyway art <333 Antonio's clothes (that Miravel made obvi) are based off of a lady bug so. Ladybug and Mantis. Lil bro is still happy to be around Mirabel even AFTER the experiment, its wild 🏃‍♀️ she tries to distance herself after the experiments on the family, thinking they'd hate her and never forgive her, but Antonio just refuses to leave her and she slowly gets closer again.

I LOVE THIS AU 👹👹

Do I wanna know if you’re falling in love with me?

a Carlos x y/n fic loosely based on Do I Wanna Know and Falling In Love With You. This is my first fic ever written, so be prepared. Maybe some spelling errors.

Word count: 2269

inspo from here

There he was. Once again. Just you and him. Together. It was all too good to be true…

“Carlos!!! Mijo, hurry. Time to wake up!”

Of course. Defeated, he decides to get out of bed. When he does, he realizes his hand is gripping on to something.

“Dios Mio”

It was the little bear he has had since he was a kid. A little maroon bear with buttons for eyes and his initials CM on its feet. Every time he dreams of you, the bear is held tight.

Once he puts the bear down and gets ready for the day (obvi making his hair cover his eye), he heads downstairs for breakfast.

“ Hola Tia,” he said while walking into the kitchen. “Ay Carlos, that’s the fifth time you’ve slept in this week,” Julieta said while cleaning the kitchen. “I know” “Another dream?” his Tia questioned as he went over to pour himself a cup of juice. “Si,” he responded before taking a sip.

His tia was one of the people he trusted. She knows about his little crush. How lately he’s been waking up late cause of his dreams.

“Why don't you say something?” she peaked up. Carlos shrugged his shoulders while taking a bite of an empanada that was sitting on the counter. “Mmm, this is really good. Did you try a new filling?” he questioned with food in his mouth, so good he kept going for another bite.

“Si! y/n gave me the idea, actually.” Upon hearing our name, a blush instantly appeared on his face. Of course, it didn’t help for him to think that you were getting along with his tia, someone he loves very much.

“Carlos? Que Pasa?” “nada,” he quickly denied anything. “Then what’s that color in your cheeks?” she says teasingly to the poor flustered boy. “I have to go now! Adios Tisa!” he said, quickly exiting the kitchen before it could get any worse. Watching the sight of her nephew leave in a fluster made her laugh to herself.

In all fairness, Carlos really had nowhere to go. So he just decided to take a walk. Everywhere he passed, people were afraid. Oh, how he hated it. He hated it because he didn’t want you to as well. But according to his fears, he can't change how people see him, just like he can't shift the tide. It was something he couldn’t get rid of, like something in his teeth.

He was then snapped out of it when he heard a laugh. Not just anyone, though, yours. That damn laugh that made his knees weak. How he wanted to be the one to make you laugh, be right beside you and make you smile so big.

“That sounds crazy y/n,” Mirable said in between laughs, “I wish I could go with you.”

“...go?” Carlos mumbled under his breath. No, you can't go. You just came a few months ago. You can't just leave after coming into his life. It would make him sad to see you go. He was sort of hoping you’d stay in this little town he calls home, even if it wasn’t your first home.

Ever since you came into town, something inside him hasn't been the same. Ever since the Encanto mountains broke, people have been coming in (ofc after Abuela approved). Carlos didn’t mind the new people as long as they didn't bother him. They were also new prank victims, so that was a plus. But he couldn't do that to you. It’s like whenever he tries, his body stops him. A feeling you can't fight.

After learning about his defeat, he thought it was better to just go back home. The whole way back home, he dragged his feet and held his head low. Even when he arrived, Casita could see his mood and quietly opened its doors.

As he trenched up the stairs and down the hall, he got stopped by a voice he knew all too well, almost like the little voice in the back of his head.

“Have you got the guts?” a hushed voice questioned. “ Que?” ��When are you gonna tell them?” his sister kept questioning him. “Tell who what?” he kept denying. “Tell y/n that you are in love with them,” she finally said. “Love is a bit strong,” Carlos rebutted. “Dios Mio, you have no idea that you’re in deep,” she said dramatically; she couldn’t believe him. With this, Carlos gives Dolores a puzzled face. “You’re deeply head over heels for them,” she exclaimed. “You’re far from the truth,” he denied. “Then why did your heart start racing then,” she said with a little smirk, now seeing the color in his cheeks return.

Once he snapped back to it, his face turned upside down again. “ You overheard y/n and Mirabel, didn’t you?” With silence as her answer, she felt terrible for her Hermano.

After a while of no words exchanged, Carlos finally peaked up “...when do they leave?” “next week…you know-” “do I wanna know?” Carlos interrupts her. “Que?” she questioned, confused. “ Do I really wanna know if this feeling flows both ways?” he said, rolling his eyes in exaggeration and crossing his arms. “Talk to them then,” Dolores suggested. “When?” “Tonight,” she exclaimed before she started walking away. Then she stopped for a sec and turned her head towards him. “After all, the nights are mainly for saying what you can’t say tomorrow.” And with this, she continued walking away.

Well, he was screwed. It was tonight. Now or never. After months of being in love having a crush, he was finally gonna confess. He was pacing around his room, stressing. He didn’t have a clue about what to do. NONE! As he defeatedly throws himself into his desk chair, he places his elbows on his desk and runs his hands through his hair (showing both his eyes).

Maybe he can come up with a plan! He grabs his notebook and pencil and starts writing ideas. Stargazing? No. Picnic? No. Tear after tear after tear. Each one ending up with a crumble, then being tossed. With agony, he bangs his head on the desk, clueless. When he turns his head, he catches a glance at his bookshelf. With the sunset peeking through his window, a ray of sun illuminated the books. A certain one caught his attention tho.

A brown leather-covered book with Spanish-styled details edged in gold. And on the cover, a heart with angel wings. “Of course!” The answer was in front of him all along. How could he be so stupid? Now all he needed was his guitar and a quick trip to the town square.

His first step, get you to come. He transforms into a little red bird, and with his beak, he picks up a letter that he wrote. As he started approaching your house, his nerves started to work up again. He was doing this. He was actually doing this. What if it didn't work? What if it was too stupid? What if he got rejected? What if you were already dating someone?! He was so busy questioning that he didn’t realize he had made it to your house and almost flew into it. But there he was, now flying right in front of your window.

“Tap tap..tap..” Getting up from your desk, you go to see what could possibly be making that annoying noise. When you go to open your curtains, you’re shocked to see a little red bird with a letter in between its beak. You quickly open your window to let the little bird in and see what it wants. The moment you peek open your window, he swiftly flies in, drops the letter on your desk, and leaves. He was so quick that you didn’t have time to process it, let alone blink. With curiosity, you walk back to your desk to see a red letter written in black cursive,

Dear y/n:

Tonight, follow this bird. It will be waiting for you at 12 am.

See you then, Hermosa ❤️

“Her-Hermosa,” you say, surprised. The color in your cheeks was rising. You were over the moon, though!

You made sure to eat your dinner faster tonight and get ready for bed quicker. Welllll, technically you weren’t going to bed, but your family didn’t know that.

After checking yourself in the mirror for the 20th time, you checked the time and saw it was 11:55 pm. “Here goes nothing,” you say to yourself, preparing for whatever may happen soon. You quietly open your bedroom door, making sure you woke no one up. As you creep down the stairs and to the front door, you didn't know you had stopped breathing until you made it outside.

It was a bit cold, not gonna lie. Waiting there, tapping your foot, you checked your watch. “12:01”. “Where is this bird?” you mumbled under your breath. You were getting a bit impatient since it was getting colder by the minute, only making you want to go inside more. Just when you say this, the bird lands on your shoulder, startling you. Then, with little chirps, the bird started flying away.

You start chasing after the bird as it begins to head farther from the town. You didn’t even realize you were running in the direction of the famous Madrigals house.

Running up a tiny hill nearby, you attempted to catch your breath once you reached the top. Hands on your knees, when you look up, you realize that you have lost the bird. “mierda,” you say breathlessly.

Suddenly, you feel a pair of cold hands wrap around your eyes. “You didn’t lose me, Hermosa,” a low, raspy voice whispered in your ear, so close you could feel his breath tickle your skin. “Keep your eyes closed, trust me.”

Well, it was too late now if you were being kidnapped. So you did as you were told and kept them closed.

Carlos couldn’t believe he was doing this. While he slowly removed his hands from your eyes, he cautiously started walking in front of you. Once standing face to face with you, he couldn’t help but just freeze for a second. How bad he just wanted to grab your face and feel your lips collide with his. But he knew he couldn’t. So he gently grabbed your hands as he started walking backward, guiding you to a little clearing.

Your mind was racing with millions of thoughts. Do I know that voice? Where is he taking me? Why did I agree to do this? Where even am I? All of a sudden, you felt him let go of your hands.

You stood there with your eyes still closed, patiently waiting for him to tell you what to do next. Then, out of nowhere, you start hearing a guitar strumming. Curiously, you peeked open your eyes. When you did, you were awestruck.

“ Wise men say only fools rush in.”

Carlos sang while looking down at his guitar. Around him was a circle of candles. Dimly lit up, allowing you to only see a figure of the stranger.

“But I can't help falling in love with you.”

He sang while slowly approaching toward you.

“No, I can't help falling in love with you.”

He lastly sang while now standing right in front of you, looking you in the eye.

As you two stood there, you were shocked. Now finally, being able to place a face on the mysterious admirer, you couldn’t believe it. Did thee Carlos Madrigal just say in song he loved you? You couldn't even mutter a single word.

“Look, y/n, I know we’ve barely known each other, but I’ve just been wondering lately if your heart's still open. Cause we can be together if you wanted to, regardless of whether you are gonna leave soon,” he rambled. He was so nervous, why weren't you saying anything?! He could barely even comprehend what he was even saying.

This was so much for you to process right now.

“I-i,” you tried to form words, but before you could even get them out, you were interrupted. “-Look, I get it if you don't want-” “Carlos!” you interrupted him. This shocked him and made him shut up. “I’ve had a crush on you for a while, too” “...really?” “yes, really,” you replied. He couldn’t believe it, you had just said you liked him back! His heart was now racing. Internally he was jumping up and down in joy.

“So we can be together then?” he said with excitement entangled in his tone. “Of course,” you answered. But then it hit him, “but aren’t you leaving soon? How would we make this work?”

You were confused. You never told him anything about leaving; how would he-oh. “Ay, the chisme of this town,” you groaned under your breath while pinching the bridge of your nose.

Well, you couldn’t have confused the poor boy any more than he already was.

“ I only leave for two weeks, you know that, right?”

He didn’t respond; all he could think of was how stupid he was. Is that what Dolores was trying to tell him earlier? Is this what he gets when he doesn’t listen to people fully?

When he didn’t respond and just stood there with his mouth opened a little, you couldn’t help but giggle.

“Aww, pobrecito,” you said between giggles before giving him a kiss on the cheek.

With that, Carlos shut his mouth and regained his stiff posture.

Guess this feeling really did flow both ways after all ❤️…

Fun facts about Carmen!

+ a drawing!

You guys remember how Carmen works three jobs right? Well guess what? Carmen has different outfits for each of her jobs. The drawing above is Carmen when she's at the clothing store she works at

When it comes to Carmen's third job, singing, she usually only does it in two places. Mirable Hotel or Lackadaisy Speakeasy. Mirable knows Carmen got her mom's vocals so they call her if they don't have any singers last minute. Carmen overall is Lackadaisy's main singer to go to, despite Carmen being insecure about her voice.

Carmen, oddly enough, dosent have much friends expect the others at the Speakeasy. The people at her fashion job value Carmen's smarts, just not her as a person. One of the girls there actually stole a date of Carmen's once. Carmen was pissed to say the least

The tailor shop Carmen works at is called 'Golden Botique' the boss of the store is a wife of one of Wick's politician friends.

Most girls work at the Tailor shop Carmen works at, there's something messy happening everyday, yet Carmen somehow never gets dragged into it. But all the girls in there will try to get any handsome man they see to go out with them.

Funny enough, Carmen wears or buys things similar to Avis's wardrobe before she died. Carmen feels like she can connect to Avis in some way by wearing similar clothes avis loved.

Feel free to ask questions!

The Road to Redemption

Summary: Freya has a plan to win back the favor of her colony but she needs some help

TW: Blood, vore mention, fearplay, and mentions of alcohol consumption

Wallowing in self-pity would be easier, just find a burrow and curl up in it until some predator finds her to make a quick meal out of her. But Freya was not going to quit, she was going to help her colony whether they wanted to or not! There were answers in that cave and if Freya could go there, maybe she could help bring a cure to her colony. They would have to accept her back into the colony!

Fueled by determination, Freya traveled down the path that led to the cave, it was no easy journey on foot. The borrower shirked off rests in an attempt to catch up with Tav's group, all the while she debated on what to tell the group. Should she tell the truth? Surely Tav would be understanding about her situation and help out… if they were even alive. Pain clutched her heart at the thought of Tav being gone; their demise wouldn't have even happened if they just let Huskin drag Astarion away. That would have been so easy, yet Tav didn't do that at all; they fought and saved him while also getting information out of Huskin. If Tav is alive, then they pulled off one hells of a trick!

Dusk had begun to set, and Freya was exhausted. Her lungs burned along with the aching pain building up in her legs. The temptation of resting was becoming more and more enticing with each step, until a boisterous laughter bounced off the woods. Freya made haste and followed the sounds of joy, but remained in the shadows. Quiet as a mouse, she quickly slipped into some nearby bushes. Peering through the leaves, Freya laid eyes on Wyll enjoying a drink with two other members she recognized from the other night, the towering tiefling woman and the bearded man. A sense of relief washed over Freya, finally she found Tav's group; all she had to do was reveal herself and everything would fall perfectly into place! Yet, the borrower wouldn't budge, it was like her legs froze to the ground. Why was she expressing nervousness now? Surely she could trust Wyll, the man who shared a drink with her! She may not have known the other two, but if Tav trusted them then so could Freya!

The leaves around Freya shook vigorously followed by branches snapping behind her. Freya turned around and was immediately met with a large wet nose following her trail, it came closer, and Freya could see white fur on the creature. a shriek slipped out of her when it's nose brushed against her. She scrambled back out of the bushes, the beast followed her into the open, and she could see more clearly that it was a dog with pointed ears. It stared at her with curious black eyes, wagging its tail. Freya pulled out her rusty dagger that was graciously given to her by Mirable when she cast her out and pointed it at the beast. “Stay back!” It responded by letting out a thundering bark that nearly caused Freya's heart to stop.

“Whoa, heel Scratch!” Wyll called out, beckoning the dog to stand by him. To Freya's surprise, the dog galloped over to him, and was met with pets on the head. Scratch lays down by Wyll's feet, though he still glanced over at Freya eagerly.

“When did you get a dog?!” Freya huffed out.

Wyll smiled. “He's technically not ours, he likes to come and go as he pleases.”

Freya was still trying to catch her breath when the ground quaked around her. “It's the tiny soldier!” The tiefling exclaimed dropping down on her hands and knees. Freya let out a gasp as she leaned in closer to look at her with wide orange eyes. An uncomfortable heat seemed to radiate off of the woman and graze against Freya's pale skin, despite her clear discomfort, the woman never backed off. “Wow, even your weapons are tiny, I can barely see it with my eyes unless I squint,” Her eyes trailed down to Freya's gray cloak that was fashioned together with a blue button. “Even your clothes are smaller than a doll's! Do you make ‘em yourself, or do you buy them from other tiny people?!”

Freya's heart leapt to her throat, effectively blocking all words from coming out. This woman looked as though she could crush her with just a pinky, yet she was acting as if she was a giddy child!

“Karlach, please, you must give our small friend some space.” The bearded man said as he bent down on one knee.“Borrowers aren't normally keen on interacting with larger beings like us.”

“Oh, right… sorry.” She said, lowering her voice and shifting back a little bit.

While still completely on edge, Freya could finally ease the rapid beating that pounded in her chest. This was not how she had hoped meeting up would have gone but it was certainly less intimidating than the night when Astarion forced her to meet everyone. It didn't take long for Freya to collect herself enough to finally speak. “Y-You saved me.”

“From Karlach?” He gave a soft chuckle. “She meant no harm, she's just-!”

“No, not her,” Freya interjected. “That night in camp, I almost fell to my death but you caught me with that blue hand thing!

“Ahh yes, that night you were taunted by our more… abrasive companions.” A smile formed on his lips. “I was wondering how you fared after that, glad to see you're doing better.”

“I am forever grateful and I don't even know your name.”

“I suppose we did skip over formal introductions.” The man extended a hand in front of the borrower. “Gale of Waterdeep.”

She smiled and grabbed onto the tip of his finger in an attempt to give him a proper handshake. “Freya.”

“Pleasure to put a name to a face.” Gale said. “Now, what brings you all the way out here?”

Freya clenched her jaw, shifting her body weight from one foot to the other and her gaze hardened as she glanced at the giants looming in front of her. “The plague has infected my colony, worse than it was since I got back.” She stated, sprinkling urgency in her voice. “So I've been tasked to head to the cave and gather some herbs from there.”

“By yourself?” Wyll questioned.

Freya crossed her arms. “Don't think I can handle it by myself?”

“You've proven yourself resourceful, but even the most valiant soldier needs allies.” Wyll gave Freya a smile. “You're in luck though, as we were going to investigate the cave in the morning.”

“Yeah, you should come with us!” Karlach exclaimed. “Do you still have that little weapon from the other night?”

Freya realized she never checked the bag she was given by Mirable. For all she knew, the pea shooter could have been confiscated while she was locked up; thankfully, she felt the handle and grasped it to show Karlach. A wide grin curled upon the tiefling’s lips.

“Hell yes, I gotta see you use it again, maybe on some nasty fuckers this time.”

“We should probably talk to Tav first.” Gale chimed in. “I'm sure they'll want to know of your predicament.”

Freya nearly lit up when she heard Tav's name, thank the gods, they were okay! However, she contained her joy by forcing herself to retain a neutral expression. She cleared her throat. “That sounds like a good idea,” she said.

“Let's head back to camp.” Wyll said, standing up along with the dog, keeping his hand on the collar as a precaution for the borrower. “By the way, when we were at the tavern, we were able to obtain a few bottles of Red Dragon Crush from Huskin.”

“How in the hells did you get that?!” Freya gasped out. “He hardly ever breaks that wine out!”

A warm smile curled on his lips. “Perhaps we'll tell you the story as we share a glass together.”

“Count me in!” Karlach beamed. “Think you could go a drinking round with me, tiny soldier?”

Freya eyed the massive woman, there was no way she could win a round against her, but she'll be damned if she admits that. Freya let out a haughty laugh. “You're on.”

Gale chuckled. “Now that is going to be quite the interesting drinking contest.”

~~~~

“I don't know, Freya...” Tav pursed their lips. “This may be too much for you.”

The borrower let out a loud groan, she thought she would be excited to see Tav again and Tav would be more than happy to let her join their journey in the cave, but they were hesitant to let her come. Freya even explained how the plague has infected her colony and they still seemed apprehensive about her coming! “Aixosfeaf is commonly grown in that cave and finding it could save my people!”

“What if I look for it while you stay here?” Tav's green eyes pleaded with Freya to agree but the tiny woman only stood her ground.

“Do you even know what Aixosfeaf looks like?”

“Well no… but if you could describe it to me I might be able to help.” They offered.

Freya shook her head, it would be so much easier if she just explained to Tav why she needed to go for herself, but trying to mention her exile only made her chest tighten. Grief wanted to grab onto her and squeeze every tear out of her but Freya couldn't afford to let that emotion take over right now. If she came to them sobbing then They would definitely not let her tag along. This was her mission that she had to see through herself! “I've studied herbs for as long as you've been a monk, you're not gonna be able to catch it if you're preoccupied with something else.”

“Gods, you're still whining about this?” Astarion's voice broke the two away from each other as he strolled over to the tree stump they were sitting by, blood smeared around his mouth. Rage bubbled up inside Freya, she was hoping to convince Tav to let her come before that blood sucker returned from his hunt. His red eyes bore daggers at her once he came up to her. Unlike Tav- who knelt to her level, Astarion seemed to enjoy towering over the small woman. Even while standing on the dying tree stump, Freya didn't even reach the height of his knee. “This is serious, and we can't waste our time babysitting some borrower.”

“I don't believe I was talking to you.” Freya glared up at the vampire. “Go chew on a rat or something!”

To her surprise, Astarion knelt down while still looming over her, a cold smirk curled upon his blood stained lips. “Don't tempt me darling, I could always make room for an annoying little rodent that's been scurrying about our camp.”

Freya never thought she could feel the blood in her veins boil and run cold at the same time but seeing that smug face stare down at her waiting for a reaction just unlocked a range of emotions she never knew she could feel! He was trying to get a rise out of her, Freya wasn't sure if he would enjoy seeing her angry or fearful more; so she bit her tongue and kept a seering glare on him, her heart pounding so hard, she could feel the blood pump in her ears. Maybe that's what the vampire wanted because Freya swore she noticed him poke his tongue slightly to lick his lips.

“Can we stop this for a minute?” Tav snapped, breaking the tension of the two. They glanced over to Astarion and back to Freya, the two had only been around each other for a minute and they were already at each other's throats! As much as Freya hated the idea of backing down, she didn't want to upset Tav anymore than she had. Thankfully, Astarion seemed to have the same idea as his smirk was wiped away completely. He still let out a huff when he sat back, which prompted Freya to roll her eyes, but Tav did not comment on either of their attitudes. Instead they turned back to the borrower, giving her a soft look. “Is there any way I can convince you to just stay in camp tomorrow?”

“The only way I'll stay here is if you lock me in a chest.” Freya crossed her arms and shot a look towards Astarion, as if to tempt him to make a snide comment, when he didn't take the bait, Freya turned her attention back to Tav, her expression softened. “And I know you wouldn't do that.”

“You have a point.” Tav gave Freya a smile, before finally sighing. “Okay, if I can't stop you, then you should know what you're getting yourself into.” They grew silent, an inner debate stirred in their head. For a moment, Freya worried Tav was going to take back their word. “We got into… a scuffle with Huskin.”

“Wyll mentioned that.”

“Yeah, it turns out, he knew some more information about what lurks in that cave.”

“There's always been rumors about beasts that live in that cave.” She couldn't help but chuckle. “I'm sure it's nothing you can't handle.” Freya's amusement died down when Tav didn't indulge her in the banter.

“It's more than some beast…” A tremor laced their voice. “There's a hag in that cave.”

@iwanttheromance

Jackson always tried to be honest, Even if the truth hurt. He tried to be loyal until you gave a reason to walk. When it came to his marriage with April; he can admit now he had his own role into how we fell apart. It was easy to blame her; to blame April for leaving. For Jordan; for us losing our first baby. But I also didn’t fight for her; for us. I waited until she was ready to come home, I realized now I had disrespected her needs; what she needed for herself. Yeah I wanted to be in her corner. I wanted her to need me, the way I had needed her. Instead of holding her; of telling her we’d be okay I had ripped the rug out from under her.

I decided it was over; and truth was it was my biggest regret. I felt I walked away too soon, that I had given up on us. That the repairs were too broken. But now in the last few months I saw I’ve been lost since our diovice. Since we signed those papers; I haven’t been the same. I might not believe in her warship of god, but when it counted Jackson had to admit God had his back. Each time he prayed when April was pushed into this situation stuck to a hospital bed fighting for her life; god had helped her; helped us. We might have our differences, but we also had a whole lot of love for each other.

Matthew; I wasn’t defending him, I was just trying say I understood why he couldn’t get past the first marriage. If I was in his shoes; I’d walk. Being forced to see the guy that stole my almost wife the first time we went down the alter, being forced into a weird relationship with the dad of his step daughter. I had to be realistic. I wanted the redhead to feel better; I wanted her to stop blaming herself. This fallen marriage wasn’t her fault; it was doomed from the start. I wasn’t going to say the words; but I was entailed to think it. Matthew I believed did love April; but it was kinda mirable he was able to forgive. I can only offer a hand; a shoulder for her now. I wasn’t going anywhere.

Hand locked in hers; I had inched myself closer to the bed as our hands were laced together. Thump had traced small circles around her knuckles as I heard her remark about her track record with marriages. I could brush it off with a cute quip remark but this might be the right opening for a real conversation; about our own history we both held close to our hearts.

“ You know our marriage, we both played a role in why it didn’t work out. I.. I’m sorry for hurting you when I decided it was over. I just.. I was hurt and I just I didn’t want to feel the pain anymore. But seeing you here like this.. Even before I can’t help but wonder if I jumped the gun..” With us; but I held my tongue shut on that one; not wanting to make it awkward if this was a internal battle with myself; and not a can April wanted to open.

Green eyes lifted to meet her gaze, teasing; it was a habit. But I was the best looking guy she’d ever dated let’s be honest. A low chuckle emitted through bare lips. “ I think someone still has the hots for me huh..?” A joke; a light hearted joke; it was easy to fall into old habits with each other. We could always count on each other. As for her release date; I had to glance to the doorway; where I did spot Bailey still lingering; probably to drop news if I allowed her to. Arching head forward I thought about the arrangement in my head; but did it make sense for us.

“ I may be able to talk Bailey into releasing you by the weekend but only if you stay at the penthouse with me and Harriet. I don’t want you to be alone.” A sense of care in his voice; as if it was easy. He’d take care of her; Jackson didn’t trust anyone else to ensure her safety regardless of the female’s answer.

Disney Hot Take and Rewrite

Encanto should have been a series, not a movie.

Do note, I do like the movie, but there are just some things that make the story feel weird to me.

Slight Encanto spoiler mentions, references to abuse, and broken family dynamics.

In the movie, we have so many characters that have little impact to the narrative and certain scenes feel out of order. For example, you could easily cut out Camilo altogether and the story wouldn’t change. Also, the order of scenes just felt off. Like, I had watched clips before the movie and I was expecting Luisa’s Under Pressure to be played around the same time as Isabella’s What Else Can I Do, and I’m not exactly a fan of how they treated Bruno since despite the whole family sang a song named after him, he translates a prophecy and stops showing up.

If I were to rewrite it as a series, the pilot would establish dynamics, and each episode would center Mirabel and one of her relatives, with the relative in question giving pieces of information about Bruno. The series should probably start on Pepa’s family for the first half and Julieta’s family for the second half, though Dolores’s episode should be one of the last, with her revealing Bruno’s location.

I DEFINITELY want Felix or Agustin to defend Mirable at some point considering they are ALSO giftless, but that point NEVER comes up. I know people love Bruno, but make him a dick to people. Like, the family sang a song dedicated to how off putting they guy is, and he ISN’T some flavor of asshole? Yeah, no. I want Bruno to come off as a jerk during his introduction to give the idea the family was right, but slowly we realize the guy does care about the family through his rebuilding of Casita and interacting with the rats, and the asshole front is either a front to avoid hurting people, or he’s just REALLY bad with human contact.

Season two would have Mirabel trying to heal family dynamics and question if Bruno was actually that bad to be kicked out, but unfortunately some of them will take years to mend, if ever. Also, we start getting information about the triplets’ childhood, each story being more fucked up than the last and revealing that Alma might not be a saint. Bruno and Dolores would be dragged into Mirabel’s plan, Dolores overhearing secrets and Bruno letting his rats dig up vital information.

The final should have the family divided, with those trying to heal on one side, and those unable to recognize the issue on the other. Then, Alma buts in to defuse the situation, when Mirabel starts to interrogate Alma on what HER gift is. Now, Alma would hide she was giftless to everyone, including her own family, and with Alma being speechless, THAT’S when the family realizes Alma has been using and criticizing their gifts, when she herself never had any, and all respect is lost.

On the last half of the final, Alma and Mirabel go to the waterside where Pedro died, and there we get to see Pedro and Alma’s relationship, how they planned their future and just characterizing Pedro and young Alma. Mirabel will feel sympathetic, but able to recognize that she can’t help Alma because she has refused to change. I’m not certain if I want Alma to be accepted by the family again or not, for I don’t want her actions to be hand waved away by trauma, but her redemption would be her accepting the trauma and stop afflicting it onto others.

hc that Dark Cacao never wanted to be king and only became king because people put him in that place and he saw an opportunity to help and didn't think about the long-term consequences. That he only became king for the people. (this hc was sponsored by the fight scene in Encanto between Mirable and Isabel)

Like I can imagine him so clearly saying Isabel's lines in that fight and Mirable being like Hollyberry bc we all know Pure Vanilla doesn't have the balls to say that stuff to Dark Cacao. It all goes down at a meeting with everyone around, Wildberry, Crunchy Chip, everyone

"Some people have bigger problems you selfish entitled king!"

"SELFISH?! I've been stuck being perfect my entire life and literally the only thing you have ever done for me is mess things up!"

"Nothing is messed up! You can still go back to your kingdom and go back the way it was!"

"I never wanted to be king! I was doing it for the people!"

Everyone gasping at that information Dark Cacao quickly backed down at the realization of what he just said. He sat there in silence ashamed of what he said, but he can't take it back nor will he lie about him not feeling that way.

"Y'know, I'm a really great wizard, all my spells are amazing!" An arrogant boy bragged to his friends, with the dimensional travelling squad with them.

The squad, which included Obervser, Scrap, Hollow, Solaris and more, all wore gas masks to avoid smelling the disgustingly horrendous scents coming out of everyone. (Literally, medieval times didn't bathe, right?)

"Okay, what spell did you create?" Scrappy Mirabel asked, genuinely curious.

The boy revealed his wand and a potion, "The spell is called Irkon Secro, and it deals massive damage to enemies with icicles! Throw this potion towards them while casting the spell, it'll do more damage, because it's gel mixed with a bit of the ends of needles!"

The whole group was silent except for hiw own group.

"Your staff is infected with mold." Observer Mirable stated with disgust.

"Why is your potion watery!? Why is it more water then the ingredients itself!?" Scrap yelled in horror.

Hollow Julieta pointed at his robe with a blank stare, "Your robe is not enchanted with protection spells little one. Well, I suppose that's normal because you're a first year.." she muttered the last part to herself.

Solaris just narrowed her eyes, "Your spells are weak. Besides, icicles, really? What about if it's summer huh? What if the speed of the ice melts it." She scoffs, "Even my kindergarteners are better than that, and I'm a fucking horse!"

Shadow Facade stared in surprise with Thunder Orb. They looked at each other, "Honestly we didn't expect the potion to look liek swamp water."

Kromelia, who was the newest member of the squad, and who was also semi-mute, simply shock her head and did a thumbs down, glaring.

The boy just ran to his parents.

So I went to see the barbieheimer movie

Here’s what I think as a major in film studies

Very witty humor gen z x funny millennial

Would’ve had such good fun writing this script I would feel like

Hard to pay attention to at some points like how I still need to watch everything everywhere all at once for the third time in a row just to catch everything

5 seconds in and I already forgotten about the 2001 reference was cackling

Was ridiculously grinning throughout the whole movie because as a film major haven’t seen anything like it yet

I hope pray and manifest I make something like this in my career please

Honestly the movie that might define this generation

The only bad part of this to me was the fact they worked everything up just to have everything the same again

I am actually very frustrated with the ending to make it a stronger ending it should’ve been everyone works together instead of having it the same as it was before *screams in pillow*

It could’ve been like encanto where we all wanted mirable to have a miracle but in the end she was even better at just being herself instead of her gaining her power

I guess the message of this is there usually isn’t always a black and white way to everything sometimes we have to work together to meet in the middle which is what some problems could’ve been contained if we’ve just tried compromising

More resident Evil stuff!

Antonio 1000% tries to follow Mirable everywhere she goes! And as much as Mirable would love to bring him to the meeting she doesn't want to expose him to Miranda anymore than she has too she's the most protective of Antonio because of his age(it also helps that his adorable and is the sweetest little boy ever) he does follow her everywhere in the house and if she's taking a trip to the village or the orphanage he joins her 9 times out of 10. The only time his not allowed to follow her is when shes going down to her lab in the house or when she's going to a religious service in town.

Of course I have Bruno! in my universe a little bit after Mirabel went missing he came out of the walls to try and help find her he helped with the search and after 4 months when they called off the search because it was clear she wasn't in the area he kept trying to have visions but he just kept seeing the black mold and he couldn't make sense of it. He did keep the original vision hidden in fact before he came back he snuck into his old room and found it and completely destroyed his old vision so no one would know(he was still scared of Alma's reaction.) he also refused to tell what was in the old vision that made him leave.

Mirable tries to keep her family away from the religious aspect of the village she's uncomfortable with the fact that she's worshiped and the whole cult that is the village. Of course the family does find out and they're all very uncomfortable with the idea of Mirable being worshiped and the fact that they are viewed as higher beings by the townsfolk because of the relationship they have with Mirable.

Miranda isn't always punishing Mirable, in fact Maribel out of all of the Lords gets the least amount of punishments the difference is that Mirabel's punishments in comparison to the other Lords are much more severe because more is expected out of her. Miranda actually often tries to force weird little dinners/lunches or tea parties onto Mirabel as well as getting her the odd gift of needles,instruments,paints/art supplies and oddly enough toys still, she views mirabel as younger than she is. Mirable gives the toys to the orphanage and then later Antonio after cleaning them (they sat in a bucket of disinfected for days almost a week then were scrub down).

I haven't actually thought about where Miranda made Mirable experiment on each family member and how that would physically affect them. All I know is that they wouldn't have too many mutations because the miracle protects them from it but in return for that their powers act pretty wonky like sometimes they'll work sometimes they won't and it's kind of up in the air when they do and when they don't. I think she might have made Mirable experiment on dolores's ears and maybe her mother's hands but everyone else I'm not entirely sure. I would actually like your opinion on that matter I do like the idea of Antonio and his eye.

Alcina has invited Mirable and her entire family to the castle for visits, let's just say it was very tense the first time that they actually did go to visit. The sisters were glaring at all of the family the entire time and being pretty passive aggressive/borderline threatening with the family and kinda possessive of Mirable. Alcina was being nicer in comparison she was also glaring though but not at the entire family just at Julieta she was being less passive aggressive but still passive aggressive but she wasn't being borderline threatening and was acting less possessive of Mirabel then the girls were though that was because she was restraining herself. They all were of course constantly calling the men in the family "man things" though they were a little bit nicer than they would have normally been and said that "they didn't seem to be as pest like most men".

MORE RESIDENT EVIL💪💪

Glad Antonio follows Mirabel around, and it’s understandable why she wouldn’t bring him to meetings. Even for how much he begs, she still says no. She’s just not willing to take that risk 😭 also Mirabel keeping her family away from all that worshipping stuff is. So true because Miranda is CRAZY and honestly the service are probably really weird, knowing Resident Evil 😭

ALSO BRUNOOOOO LETS GOOOO 🌚🌚 him coming back to look for her, nice to see he cares so much <333 I feel bad that he couldn’t find her with the vision, I mean yeah, it was hinting her location, but like. He don’t know what the black mold is or where it is 🤠 the fact that he tried though is what counts.

Even if Miranda doesn’t punish her. If THAT is tamed, I feel bad and wonder what the others go through (besides what’s seen in the of game). Her viewing Mirabel as younger than she really is terrible like dawg she is??? 15. 16. Wrap it up 💀💀 but at least the gifts go to some use (after some through cleaning). And Alcina and her daughters need to take it down a notch 🌚 I understand that they are attached to her, but I feel like they haven’t realized they haven’t noticed that Mirabel prefers her family, even if she still does like them to some extent. Rip to the guys of the family 🧌 though I always found it funny with Lady D and her daughters called Ethan "man-thing". Idk why 💀

AS FOR THE EXPERIMENTS UHHHHH. Ok I'll try but feel free to switch it up, these are just suggestions/ideas <333

Ok so obviously Antonio was on his eye. Originally it was his mouth, but the black mold spread to his eye, rendering it essentially useless. Camilo, it really didn't affect him appearance wise, but by far, his gift is ALL out of wack, the worst of the family. He cannot control it, and if he tries to use it, he just?? Turns into something not very pleasant to look at. Kinda painful for him as well; the only thing I'd say he could turn into, ironically, is a Lycan, anything human will just. Look like a balck mold vicitim 👺 Dolores' ears kinda always have this ringing sound, and while she can still hear pretty far, it's just overall not a pleasant experience.

Isabela, quite literally, has vines wrapping around her. Like they are digging into her skin, and she can adjust them and they can move, but they never go away. Luisa's isn't as bad, but the nerves in her arm were taken over by the black mold, and she's kinda in constant pain, so she doesn't use her gift nearly as often; in her arms, you can see where the black mold took over her nerves 😭😭

Julieta's hands were experimented on; told by Miranda to Mirabel to do specifically. She wanted to fugure out if her gift could be taken, and if it could be used to revive people. Well, Julieta had a really BAD reaction to the mold, really bad, and her hands started to burn. They, on a day to day basis, will spontaneously combust at any given point, except when she's asleep. Her hands always look burned, and no matter how much of her own food she eats, it never really goes away. Pepa has a constant cloud, even when she's happy. It's not always thundering, so she never knows when lightning will strike; 9 times out 10, it'll strike her, so she has a lot of lightning scars, and the black mold prevents her from dying; her hair has started to turn white. Bruno's eyes were experimented on, and now he's kinda in this perpetual state of seeing the future (and sometimes the past??? Maybe). His eyes are always glowing and he gets bad migraines. His vision is actually hindered a bit and everything he sees has a green hue around it 🗿

Miranda didn't care too much about the husbands because they didn't have a gift, but you know. Agustín got punished because he was yelling and trying to argue with Miranda; he was experimented on, but it didn't really effect him appearance wise. Felíx actually had some reaction to the mold, but mentally it made him really jumpy, and he's just not as happy as he used to be, though he does try to be optimistic, and is still just as protective.

Alma, I'm actually not sure??? Miranda probably doesn't like her very much, Alma is always picking fights, verbally anyway, and Alma will often be caught just glaring at her. She was experimented on but. Idk, maybe on Miranda and Mirabel know how it truly affected her, physically. Unless you or someone else has an idea LMAOOO

I LOVE THIS AU AND I LOVE RESIDENT EVIL❗❗❗🙏🙏 probably gonna do art of whatever the next ask is (if you have one)

Also. If you have any writing ideas I'd totally love to write a snippet or something <33

At the end, Alma tearfully states that Pedro sent Mirabel to her. I LOVE this line and was wondering if you could dissect it. Like, I see how both Pedro and Bruno are a lot like but do you see how Mirable is like Pedro?

The more I think about this movie, the clearer it gets to me that the reason I love it so much is not only because it is about family, but mostly because it is about transmission.

When you actively try to bring a family together, especially when many generations interact like it is the case here, what to you have to do ?

Communicate. Share. Heal.

A lot of the healing in Encanto is done through words, but they also have the ability to create full-on musical numbers to showcase their emotions / memories. I think a part of it is real because y'know, magic and everything, but it's also a poetic visual way to show what everyone is feeling. Not only is it more entertaining and involving as an audience but it serves a real purpose in the story : what you can see when you truly listen to what everyone has to say. Words and songs matter, but small gestures do too...

I know I'm being cryptic and I'm not answering your question so far, I'm getting to it...

I made a post to highlight the visual parallels between Bruno and his father, noticing parallels is my jam, so here's another one I already mentioned in another post but want to elaborate on : the way they are holding each others hands as a comforting gesture... I like to think that it comes from Pedro and Alma's relationship and was unconsciously transmitted through the family.

See, Pedro and Alma used to hold each other's hands a lot. She does this with Bruno when he is nervous about his reunion with the family... I think this little affection display is not something new to them, she probably used it to comfort her children and show her love. So, without even thinking about it, Bruno used it to comfort his niece. And she, in turn, used it with her grandma.

See ? Transmission. And it's all coming from Pedro.

Transmission plays a huge role in Encanto : the transmission of the family trauma as well as the transmission of love.

We don't know much about Pedro's personality... We can tell from the Dos Oruguitas scene that he was caring, comforting, had a lot of humor and most importantly that he was deeply selfless and family-oriented. Many people in this family felt like they had to sacrifice themselves for everyone else, but Bruno and Mirabel are probably the ones who are the most like him. Hence their particular relationship with Alma...

Everyone in this family is avoiding open conflict. But not Mirabel. Mirabel is the first to stand up to her grandmother, not with agressive intentions, but by embracing her own vulnerability and defending others.

The stakes were different, but her grandfather walking hands up to people armed with machetes reminds me of that...

The courage to take a stand can move mountains. And that's exactly what Mirabel did.

That's why, like the songs hinted to, she is the miracle that Alma asked Pedro for.

#Encanto #Mirabel Madrigal #Alma Madrigal #Bruno Madrigal #Pedro Madrigal #Madrigal family #I feel like it's not my clearest analysis so far #I got kind of carried away #it's not really synthetic nor organized #but I still liked doing it and I hope you'll take something out of it #transmission is actually the main theme in Encanto if you ask me #and I wanted to say that in a post #my analysis #Encanto analysis #asks

•《Uptown Lousiana, wanna join?》●

A small silly fic with Lackadaisy ocs (Featuring Lucio, @mivant03 oc, u guys know the drill!)

Carmen rushed into the Mirable Hotel with excitement in her eyes, running down the halls as she greeted some others. Some people already knew Carmen as Lucio's best friend, or more specifically: 'the only girl allowed to touch Lucio's hair' so Carmen became pretty respected at the hotel.

Carmen excitedly ran up to Lucio's room before knocking on the door gently. Carmen knew that Lucio may tickle her to death if she ever knocked loudly on his door again. After standing there for a while Carmen could hear Lucio's gruff voice saying 'come on in Carm'

Carmen opened up the door. "Heyy, how's my best friend doing?" Carmen greeted in her same old Louisiana accent with a tinge of rasp in it.

"Not as bad as yesterday" Lucio replied as he sat up from his chair, walked over to Carmen and patted her on the head. "What are you doing here visiting me this early?..."

Carmen then reached into her bag to pull out two train tickets. "Tada!!" Carmen cheered. "Me and Nia are taking a little vacation to Louisiana to visit my family!"

Lucio chuckled slightly. "About damn time, you've been overworking yourself to the point Nia gets concerned. " Lucio then looked at Carmen with a bit of concern. "Just don't worry to much over the vacation, alright?"

"Oh please, I won't!" Carmen reassured waving the two train tickets in her hand before putting them back into her bag. "But that isn't the reason why I'm here"

"Then why are you here?" Lucio questioned, but quickly shut up when Carmen pulled out a third train ticket with a note attached to it

"You've been working a lot, you need a break.....so just if you want to join me and Nia to visit Lousiana, I got you a ticket" Carmen explained. "You don't need to at all, but all the info is on the note."

Lucio took the ticket and looked at it. Considering he was working for a technical crime boss, it would be a bad idea to skip work for a week. Then again, Carmen wasn't lying when she said he was working a lot, so maybe a trip on visiting Carmen's family wouldn't be so bad...

"Oh snap, I'm gonna be late to work!" Carmen yelled in panic as she looked at her watch before hugging Lucio. "See you Luci!" Carmen than ran out of Lucio's room, now making her way quickly to her work.

(This was for funsies, feel free to ask questions!)

I'm just imagining an Encanto AU where everything is still the same but Julieta is the one who can see the future and Bruno heals with food.

Just picture it with me.

Julieta's gift of healing with food kind of made her into the ultimate powerhouse maternal figure. Especially in most latino/hispanic cultures (from what I have observed) it is considered a "woman's role" to take care of others with things like cooking and repairing what has been broken.

Now imagine a Julieta, who is still a maternal powerhouse but instead of healing she tries to use her visions as cautionary tales or teaching lessons.

The village is still scared of her, still believes she is a source of bad luck.

But Julieta still has Augustin, who didn't believe she made the future happen. He was accident prone before meeting her. Just now she uses quick glimps to warn Augustin of his potential injuries and advise her brother how much extra food he'll need to make for her accident prone husband. They both chase Agustin around with the magic food She still gives birth to her three daughters who she loves more than anything. She is still the triplet that speaks against her mother to defend her family.

Bruno who is now the golden child of the triplets, and the most useful, is still socially awkward, and superstitious. His sister's can tell when the food choice is something on the saltier side. While his gift is useful he's only really approached for healing food and he's been doing that since he was five. He's overworked and is constantly in the kitchen. Making food in case of emergencies. He's still the rat man with rat children.

Mirabel's failed gift ceremony happens and Alma begs Julieta to look into the future. After comforting her daughter to sleep Julieta walks down into her vision cave where she sits on the end of a peninsula of an underground lake.

In her hands sits a blue tablet showing her youngest daughter. One side has casita whole, the other full of cracks.

Julieta is terrified for her daughter, Alma will demand to see the vision. Julieta knows from experince that once Alma knows it will end horribly for her daughter.

Julieta will do anything for her daughters.

Augustin goes to find his wife but only finds an empty cave and a smashed vision.

For 10 years no one talks about Julieta. Her door has stopped glowing. Augustin took the spare bed in Bruno's room, the two growing closer as Bruno helps with raising the girls. It's Bruno's involvement with helping raise his nieces that Augustin has not followed through on his threat to take his daughters and leave Casa Madrigal.

Augustin is more quick tempered with Alma, more ready to defend his daughters.

Isabela resents Mirabel even more, blaming her for their mother's disappearance.

Luisa doesn't blame Mirabel, if anything she's probably more protective of her than in canon. She does hold a secret resentment towards the town though. She believes they pushed her mother over the edge. Especially when she hears what people whisper from Dolores and by her own ears.

Well one of those girls had to be bad luck like their mother.

Julieta should've stopped after one. She got lucky to have a perfect daughter like Isabela.

Yeah she should've counted her graces that only one is a fuck up like her.

Mirabel wished someone talked about Julieta Madrigal. Actually talked about her, what she was like, how she looked, how she spunded. Did she prefer sweet or spicy foods? What was her favorite shade of blue? Did she love her youngest daughter? Mirabel has no memories, or very vauge ones. She has no idea who her mother truly is. The only comfort Mirable can bring herself is that sometimes it feels like Casita is trying to minic what she thinks is Julieta's voice. Giving Mirabel words of encouragement, praise, and love. Despite this attempt Mirabel might hate herself a little bit more, after all she was such an embarrassment that she drove her mother away.

Julieta does a better job at hidding in the walls than Bruno. She sneaks out a back door from her place in the walls before anyone wakes up and returns when she knows Dolores goes to sleep. She adds to her brother's herbs that she has spent all day collecting. Then wonders upstairs. Checking on each of her daughters, leaving them gifts before going back into the walls.

Julieta patches the walls for years. Taking notice of the pattern of when Mirabel is stressed or in pain the cracks show more. Casita has more than once woken Julieta up to one of her daughters having a nightmare. No matter how old they are she holds them close singing them back to a peaceful sleep.

Her brother's rats keep her entertained, always performing Bruno's latest telenovela for her. They help her sometimes by bringing things when she mistimed her coming back and can't make much noise in the walls.

She never expected one of her visions to be something they would bring her. Or that she would be reunited with her youngest daughter five minutes later after ten long years.

Bruno's rats led Julieta to one of the holes in the floor.

Julieta let out a gasp when she saw who was dangling by one of the floorboards. "Mija!"

Mirabel stared at a face simliar to her own as she gets pulled up. "Mama?"

Julieta checks her daughter over for injuries before pulling her into a tight hug. "Mi amor what are you doing back here?"

"What am I? What are you?" Mirabel spluttered, just examining her missing mother who was apparently never actually left! Mirabel glances over, loosing steam as she takes in all the repaired cracks. "Have you been patching these?"

Julieta sadly traces over the cracks, they match so well with her vision. "No matter how much I love our family, I won't let even them hurt my daughters. When Mama wanted that vision of you ten years ago I knew I could never let her see it. Even if there was a possibility of it turning out well she would only believe the worst outcome. Just like she and the village believe of me."

Realization dawns on Mirabel. "You left because of me?" Her voice shook, tears falling because they were right, Oh dios they were right she was the reason-!

"Mi vida." Julieta pulled her daughter back into a hug. "I left to protect you. I may regret having to leave but do not doubt I wouldn't do it again to make sure you were safe."

Mirabel gets the idea for another vision, but with Julieta's cave wrecked they needed a new place with open space. Julieta led her daughter to a river.

"I've spent a lot of time here over the past decade. Your Abuela would never come here."

Mirabel looked around, remembering the story. "This is where it all started. Where Abuelo Pedro..."

Julieta nodded. "It's probably the most magically charged place in Encanto outside of Casita."

They do the vision, water forms around them. It's the same as before,no closer to a straight path. Mirabel spots something Julieta couldn't see. They follow it until a new picture forms.

"Antonio the door, the door!"

The rats grabed Antonio's attention. The dead door of the tia he never met, whose room was off limits, was glowing bright and strong. He looked over the railing where his tios were.

"Tio!"

Augustin and Bruno ran rowards their nephew, Pepa and Felix not far behind. All four adults freeze at the glowing door.

Julieta holds a blue tablet. She smiles at the picture. Her oldest and youngest hugging.

"Isabela!" Mirabel rages.

"Mira," Julieta's voice takes on a warning tone.

"Mama you don't understand!"

Julieta raises an eyebrow. "May I remind you darling daughter that I was the black sheep between mi hermanos. And my brother was the golden child."

Mirabel blushed.

Julieta gently set the tablet down and hugged her daughter again, kissing her forehead. "I believe my visions are lessons we have to learn. You and Isabela have been fighting for a long time. Maybe it's time the both of you learned to communicate and move forward. Now go hug your sister and save the miracle. Then after...," Julieta pauses . "After can you tell your papa and hermanas I love them? And tell mi hermanos I miss them."

Mirabel hugged her mother tighter. "After I save the miracle you can tell them yourself when I bring you home."

"I love you mija."

Julieta sat back down in the river, cradling her tablet. "Papa, please protect mi familia."

"The cracks started with you! Julieta left because of you!" Alma yelled.

Mirabel snapped. "Mama left because you always believed the worst in her!"

"Julieta didn't care about this family!"

Mirabel noticed her older sisters flinch, tears forming in Luisa's eyes as they always do when someone brings up Julieta leaving.

No matter how much I love our family, I won't let even them hurt my daughters.

I left to protect you.

Can you tell your papa and hermanas I love them?

I love you mija

Mirabel stepped closer, her temper flaring. "Mama loves me! She loves this family! I love this family! We all love this family! It's you who doesn't care! You're the reason Mama left! You're the reason for the the cracks! You are the reason the miracle is dying!"

Julieta felt the ground shake. Watched as the mountain that hid the Encanto for years split in two. She screamed as Casita fell in the distance.

Her daughters, she needs to see her daughters.

Mirabel ran. She failed. The miracle was gone. Casita fell . She wanted her mama, and her mama was by the river.

"Mama! Mama!"

Julieta stopped. Mirabel needed her. She turned back towards the river. When she got there Alma was with Mirabel. Mirabel was crying, Julieta saw red.

"Mama! Don't touch my daughter! She's not the reason the miracle died!" Julieta yelled, putting herself between her mother and daughter.

"Julieta," Alma breathed. Pulling her daughter into their own hug, kissing her face. "Mija, I'm so sorry."

Julieta glanced down at Mirabel who joined the hug. "It's ok Mama."

They make it back to the ruins of Casita. Agustin and Bruno checking over Mirabel as Alma apologizes to the whole family.

"And I'm so sorry I held on too tight," Alma said before she guided Julieta into the family's line of sight. "Just so scared I lose you too."

"Mama!" Isabela and Luisa rush forward into their mother's arms. Pepa and Bruno hugging their sister from the sides while Augustin hugs her from behind.

"So we gotta talk about Julieta?" Camilo says awkwardly on the side lines. Making a face when Dolores elbows him

"That's Tia Julieta?" Antonio asked confused. She doesn't look like what the rats described to him.

Augustin wraps an arm around Julieta as they watch Mirabel bring the magic back with a twist of a doorknob.

"She takes after you," Augustin whispers in his wife's ear.

Julieta smiles, thinking about the vision she had right after Mirabel was born. "She finally sees what was there all along."
