So, My Last Week In A Nutshell

I have come to a horrible realization

This motherfucking trash:

Shares her surname with this honorable gentleman:

What a disgrace to the Nanami's

My disappointment is inmesurable and my day is ruined

When I was a child, I didn't see the importance of talking or having connection with people, and I spent all my time reading books. Everyone treated everyone as a friend, so there wasn't a problem. When I became a teenager, I suddenly found myself alone, and no matter how much I tried, I couldn't maintain a relationship that wasn't texting with some foreign stranger on the internet.

The situation hit me hard both academically and mentally; my family noticed but I never told them the reason. One of my aunts warned me "Don't be so sad all the time, or you'll regret it when you're grown up, asking to yourself 'why didn't I enjoy my best years while I still could'" What she said stuck with me through my adolescence, even at the lowest points when I wanted to dissapear. And now that I'm an adult, and I can tell you she was both right and wrong.

My phone's getting older. I'll have to buy a new one soon, so I've been selecting which pictures I should keep when I came across old screenshots. I've had this Tumblr account for a while now, I think I had it even before the NSFW ban (which is quite ironic as I have to block and report pornbots daily) and seeing people talking about their problems made me feel seen. I didn't posted at all, simply taking screenshots of the posts that gave this feeling of "I'm not the only one". I was thankful I wasn't crazy. And today, reviewing those posts, I laugh. Not because I think they're stupid, but because I don't need them anymore.

The hurt I felt keeps whispering at me. I'm still highly anxious, and I've yet to kiss someone. But I have friends now. My relationship with my parents has become better, and I'm more independent than before. I've learned that life is a mix of ups and downs, and you can't stay forever in downs. My aunt was right when she said I regret what could've been, but she was wrong when she said I'd wonder to myself why I didn't enjoy it. I don't care to examine the reasons of my sadness. All I can say about is that I'm glad that sad old me could survive long enough to be here writing this post. The past can and will hit me with nostalgia and what-ifs, but for now, all I want is to fulfill the hope that 13 year old me screenshoted for the future:

Many people on this new fandom have the audacity of demonizing Alma without even trying to look deeper into her story. Tell me, have any of you:

•Had your hometown burned to the ground and escaping within an inch of your life. Probably lost the rest of your family to the flames?

•Ran into the wild unknown for weeks while making sure your newborn triplets are all fed and healthy while constantly checking your surroundings and provisions, having little to no sleep?

•Had the love of your life stabbed to death in front of your eyes and being physically incapable of doing something, not only for the mere shock, but also to protect the lives of your children?

•Been saved by a miracle out of nowhere, and whoops! You, a newly widowed with 3 children, are now the chosen leader of a community of hundreds of terrified people?

•Had no option to give your beloved a proper funeral? Had no way to express your grief, pain or fear for the responsibility and image bestowed upon you can't allow any cracks? EVERY. SINGLE. THING. YOU. DO. is going to affect the people around you. You're the one that holds the magical candle. You have to be strong, for everyone, for the people, and for your offsprings

•Had no idea how to relate or help your magical 5yo, having no other guide but your gut instinct? Consider:

-One of your daughters can't feel negative emotions, otherwise someone will get struck by lightning. Better to teach her to repress feelings

-Your son seems to predict only bad things. Self-explanatory why people doesn't like him. Also, he strongly resembles your dead husband

-Your other daughter now has to wake up before the sun rises to make tons of healing food. There's no break, and you can't stop her from helping people. Why would the miracle give them gifts, if not for aid the community?

•Wrongly believe that your family's role in life, the only reason you were saved, was for helping others; and slowly accommodate and settle in that lifestyle. Silently burying your troubles behind a smile. Years start passing by, your daughters get married and you get grandchildren. The town gets bigger. Everyone has to work harder for things to go smooth

•Suddenly had one of your granddaughters turn up giftless. Why? What does this mean? The people are panicked, you're at lost of what to do. You can't move, just like that time many years ago. You ask your Brunito, the only sort of lead you have for an explanation, and he disappears, not even saying goodbye.

•Feel like you have to make up for it, like this is your mistake. You already lost your husband and son. You're not going to lose anyone else. You have to take control.

•No idea what to make of Mirabel. She made the candle flicker. Could she be a threat to the magic, to the family, to Encanto? It can't be, she's innocent, isn't she? But Luisa loses her gift. But the marriage proposal is ruined. But you finally get the explanation you asked ten years ago. But the cracks are appearing everywhere around Casita. But Isabella's plants invade town in middle of making amends with the Guzmán. But her perfect grandchild is a mess. Once again everything is chaos, and you're angry

No, you haven't, and it shows.

Does it justify the harsh treatment at Mirabel? No. Neither does it justify your attempts to dehumanise her.

AO3 is working again. My life has recovered it's meaning 🤧

According to my daily scrolling, unless it's a y/n or reader insert, there isn't soulmates related content on the Encanto fanbase yet. Unaceptable!

*sighs*

Guess I'll have to do it myself

Introducing to y'all:

Matchmaker! AU

In this alternate reality, Mirabel's gift is not only seeing the Thread Of Fate™, but cut and sew it as she sees fit

As a personal HC, there are three variations of the thread

-White, if the person's not old enough to think about romance/isn't interested on it

-Red, the typical

-Black, if one of the soulmates dies

She quickly starts competing with Isabela for the Abuela's Favourite Grandchild title

Same goes for townspeople, as she officiates marriages and relationships

Of course, it's not always happy rainbows, as some couples are simply not meant to be

"Mirabel, please tell me that milady and I are made for each other! My princess-"

"Adrián, I already told you 528628627 times that Marina's not interested, grow the fuck up"

"But you could change our destiny for love, you selfish bi-

*Luisa's knuckles crack in the distance*

For the nature of her gift, she's compared to that person we don't talk about

According to señora Pezmuerto, she's somehow singlehandedly guilty of all affairs, divorces and breakups

Nevertheless, it's a good life as Encanto's Matchmaker

Then, everything changed when the fire nation attacked both families deemed fit to marry Mariano with Isabela

What a beautiful couple!

Too bad his string is the same as Dolores and Isabela's is white

And the candle flickered during Antonio's ceremony. Like the Thread, she's the only one who can actually see the cracks in Casita

Yeah...yikes

(A possible sequel could be that, out of respect, she has never looked at Abuela's pinky. But once the Madrigals have rebuilt Casita she sees it on accident...and it's red)

(I'm a sucker for the Pedro Lives AU okay?!)

Feel free to add more ideas!

never forget how hard they had to nuke Lukanette bc they accidentally made a pairing 100000x better than Adrienette

PROPAGANDA PARA URUGUAY:

En ingles casi dice "u r gay", que mas podrian querer?

LATINOAMERICA HAS GONE WOKE?????

U R GAY? ARGENSHE/HER??? CHILEY DE MATRIMONIO IGUALITARIO??? PARADYKE??? GAYTEMALA? COLOMBISEXUAL?

mlb is addicting to watch even when its bad bc it just has the Audacity

no i will not be elaborating any further

GRACIAS

What i hate the most about this hc of “Everyone is gay in the madrigal family” are not the headcanons itself but the ways people try to justify things by modifying MY CULTURE. Americans are really getting into fights with Colombians to prove their point by saying: “I investigated and those colors have nothing cultural on it” 🤡🤡🤡 so, you are really explaining a Colombian what their culture is or isn’t because you searched on google? Wtf dude. We live here and you just recently learned that Colombia exists thanks to a movie!

To worse things those people are saying that Isabella is gay because she ends up washed in the lgbti flag after her song, when she’s literally washed in the Colombian flag 🇨🇴 and not recognizing that makes me feel really sad. But those people don’t know anything about my country so they prefer to see other stuff…

does anyone wanna hold hands until we feel a little braver
