Ok so I lied- break starts now, I just forgot about the triplets birthday ok?
Wanted to draw my young adult designs again, though it's a screenshot redraw because it was supposed to be low effort
PB&J triplets
The triplets as teens.
thinking abt how Pepa must’ve been longing to be connected with people but couldn’t. like she wanted to comfort her siblings and her childhood friends when they were sad, but she gets sad too and she often gets them annoyed or sick with her rain. the only people who understood and was fond of her rains were Bruno and Felix.
she wants to help others emotionally, but people mistake her empathy as needing help so they end up comforting her instead (the opposite of what she wanted to do)
and it extended to her motherhood. sometimes she envied how Julieta’s kids were not hesitant to come to her when they get hurt, how much more normal Julieta is as a mother. she gets sad about the fact that her kids were more drawn to Felix than her when they’re upset.
she loves that Camilo learned to be so patient and understanding to her, but she also wished he didn’t only come to her to take care of her, but rather ask to be taken care of. That’s why their toddler years were the best (despite the most stressful) for Pepa, because they only saw her as a mother they didn’t hesitate to come to, not yet understanding the inconveniences of her gift and why they should walk eggshells around her.
everyone was afraid of triggering her storms, so they kept a considerable distance emotionally. it didn’t help Pepa’s case because she has a big heart but no one willing to share it with
more messier doodles. also pepa tooth gap undercut

Headcanon where some of the previous gifts can be given again by the Miracle to the future generation of Madrigals every 50 years. For ex. Camilo’s shapeshifting powers can be passed to another younger Madrigal (provided its user is no longer living)
So it’s like, each gift has a lineage of users.
So fic idea!
Bruno accidentally looks 50 years into the future while doing a vision for the future of Encanto (as requested by Abuela). He hadn’t meant to get that far in the future, but a headache kicked in and he lost control for a moment.
He sees a young Madrigal boy who appeared to have the same powers as him. Bruno supposed some of their powers may be given again by the miracle to future Madrigal members.
Bruno couldn’t shake off the mixed feeling he has for someone he has never met. One, he is excited to know the miracle is still alive and so does the Madrigal family. Two, he wondered from whose lineage did the boy come from. Three, he felt sad that he would never meet the boy, never get to know or love him, never get to be there for him when he inevitably handle the burden his gift will bring him.
It’s ridiculous to feel so attached to basically a stranger. Regardless, Bruno’s heart is just too big that it extends to family members 50 years far into the future.
Bruno felt inspired to write an autobiography about his life and his family for the boy to read and revive the memory of the first generation. While writing, Bruno gets melancholic about his family’s mortality. He also wrote a letter of comfort for the boy if ever the burden of his gift gets to him. To remind him that if he thinks his family does not love him, or the villagers shun him, there is one in the past who does love him and understands what he’s going through.
Bruno tells his family about his vision and encouraged all family members to write what they want to say to the future generation. If the grandkids are healthy enough to push further in old ages, they will be alive to see the boy in the vision (he’ll be the grandkids’ grandchild), but they still wrote letters incase they won’t.
They had Casita hide the letters and requested to give them to a boy who looked like the one in the vision, 50 years later.
The Madrigals bonded as a whole family after that. Suddenly the time they spent together that day felt so much more precious. While it’s bittersweet to think they would all pass and become names in history, they also felt hope seeing that the Madrigals’ and Encanto’s future is strong.
oh god oh my god i am not made to survive this i cant. pepa and bruno being bestjes then them drifitng apart oh gos
