Hooolaaa thank you so so much I’m so glad you like this blog because you are right it really brings me happiness and I’m even more happy when I see other people being happy about it. I can imagine how happy you would be if Disney made a movie based on your religion/country/culture because they did make one based on mine and the feeling is just you know it’s hard to explain but you feel even more in love with your country. I’m not planning on stopping running this blog anytime soon so don’t worry jajajajaj sending love from Cartagena ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

well I don’t know how about Latinos in English speaking countries but in Colombia we don’t do it because we just don’t speak English we just speak Spanish. this is why I don’t really like watching Encanto in English it feels weird, mixing languages etc but I understand why they did it like that

Tell me you didn’t read any of my posts without telling me

I’m queer Latina. Colombian Latina. Oh and I’m person of color too. Wow thank you for telling me I exist

I literally stated multiple times that people can make LGBT headcanons in Encanto just remember to stay respectful and not make it about yourself if you are not Colombian. I do not have a problem with gay Isabela for example I have a problem with white people and non Colombian/Latino people in general headcanoning her as gay and make it their representation. Please learn how to read before you come into my inbox to attack me because in the context of my posts your message makes 0 sense

wow thank you so much I’m glad I could help!

is there any chance I could see the presentation tho?

guys I’m sorry for wording it badly yucas are not the same thing as arepas

those are arepas - the things that Julieta flips with her fingers

and yucas (cassavas) are those slightly oblong yellowish/brownish things next to arepas on the big table

I’m sorry for wording it badly! And I don’t really know who to explain the taste arepas just taste like arepas jajajaja I’m sorry

But this is a blog about Encanto and Encanto is about Colombian family who is Catholic. They have church in the village, they have priest, they were celebrating Catholic holiday

It’s not like that I made this up, it’s not headcanon it’s literally canon

As I said before I understand that it can be triggering to many people and this is why I always put trigger/content warning

This is a blog about Encanto, about being Colombian, about my culture. And Catholicism is a part of it and I am not going to stop. If you don’t like it please don’t follow me/block me whatever but don’t come to my inbox and tell me you hate Christians because it’s just hurtful

also please stop in general with those hateful messages I’m in school now and I’m hiding because I started crying while reading it just stop please

I did not omg

this movie will never stop surprising me jajajajajaja

so we start celebrating in October

well maybe not like an official celebrations you know all of the decorations in shops and on the streets start in October, the whole Christmas vibe etc. And I know it is like that in all countries that celebrate Christmas now but I think what’s special is that we actually like it

the official Christmas celebrations start with Día de las velitas (Day of the little Candles) and it takes place on 7th December night and 8th December morning also sometimes. We go on streets to light candles and lanterns and it’s really like we all do it, the streets are really crowded in Cartagena where I live we do it together not only with my family but with my neighbours etc

from 16th December to the Christmas Eve on 24th December we have something like Novena de Aguinaldos and these are prayers which we do all together with family and neighbours, every prayer also takes place in different houses you know for example one can be at my house and for another we go to our neighbours but sometimes we also just pray with family and sometimes it’s just an excuse to spend time together, eat, party etc (I would love to see Madrigals and other villagers doing it)

we also have aguinaldos these are games we play during the Christmas time mostly kids of course but adults and teenagers too it’s fun

kids also write Cartas al Niño Dios in early December and these are letters in which the kids write what they would like to get as a present to Jesus Baby

we have Cena de Navidad, we eat the main Christmas meal during the Christmas Eve (24th) and after it we sometimes go to Midnight mass and we stay up all night and this is also when we get presents (I know that in US they are given in the morning) and it’s not Santa Claus who brings them but Jesus Baby, we sing some songs etc

and on 28th we have Día de los Inocentes and it’s basically like April Fool’s Day we do some pranks jokes and it’s like getting yourself in a mood of New Year’s Eve (this is definitely Camilo’s favourite day of the year jajajajajajaja)

I love Christmas for real and maybe it’s not that much special bur it’s for sure special for me

ayy this is so long I’m sorry I hope it’s not to messy and understandable. Thank you so much I hope to have a good day too!
