Posting Isaac because I refuse to acnowlege Luis. :-D

He hated his hair.

Fresh Encanto headcanon: it's become a tradition that when someone in town dies, any of their stuff not passed down or wanted by next of kin goes out for the community to pick through in order to share limited resources.

The bumbling boy, who always used to get himself in trouble, suddenly hit a growth spurt…

Redraw of concept art for another Encanto couple was only a matter of time. Agustín, clumsy and awkward as he can be, appears quite confident around his lady, isn’t he? Like with Félix & Pepa, I imagined the scene takes place in times before they got engaged (even though it’s apparently not what original picture suggests).

Inimitable original art by Jin Kim:

(WIP)

Three siblings of the Madrigal family ✨

They're all so iconic>:3

Encanto headcanons but it’s just me projecting onto them

-When Pepa gets angry, she regrets it afterwards. She sees people’s faces as her storms grow and she retreats to her room and cries about the pain she can cause

-Julieta’s schedule is HELL. She never gets time to do anything, and most of her moments with family are stolen. She constantly carries guilt of not being productive in her little free time

-Camilo gets antsy if he spends too long in the same form. Who is he if not someone with a fluid identity?

-Isabela wants to try a new aesthetic. She really does. But flowers… they’re part of her. She’s not Isabela without flowers. She doesn’t really like flowers that much, but she’s stuck with them this long and now she doesn’t want to change.

-Dolores forgets that she’s quiet. She doesn’t realize that she doesn’t say most everything in her head that she considers saying. Maybe if she did, people would pay more attention to her.

Ugly drawing I made last year (help I don't remember who I got the inspo from)

Encanto's indigenous identity and why it is so important; thread

And everything from this thread was used movie sources, links at the end of it.

Whenever I say that Encanto and the Madrigals are indigenous, someone always comes to say: "But it's in Colombia, they're not really indigenous, they're "mestizos".

well, yes, so what?

mixed indigenous people exists and that does not make them any less indigenous.

Or say: "oh, it's just Bruno", "it's just Alma y Pedro", "it's just Isabela" - No. It's the whole family AND the whole village.

The only ones that probably not indigenous is Agustín y Félix, and any person who came to live in Encanto, and didn't born there.

Starting with many Zenús crafts in the film, not only that, but with a Zenú artisans person himself participating and guiding designers every step of the way to create an authentic representation of Zenú crafts:

Also, the film's producers works with six different Indigenous communities across Colombia to promote the vitality of Indigenous arts including woven bags, hats, and ceramic.

And speak of bags and clothes, there all was inspired by Wayúu crafts:

Now, about the plot of the movie, the miracle has a sacred meaning. But the concept of the miracle does not come from something christian or from fairy tales.

"Magical realism does not consist of taking gratuitous magic and putting it in the context of a jungle" - Espinosa

“I don’t invent anything, I’ve seen it all or I’ve been told about it.” - also said señora Espinosa

The miracles it's not an imagined idea, it's a belief.

It came from earth, it can be given by God or Gods, but it's a natural sacred.

Also, the miracle canonically come from the river:

Now

We gonna talk about Bruno

yes, yes, YES!

"The indigenous people are there, they have been made invisible and nobody talks about them, but they are the sacred part of Colombia. It has become fundamental to understand this, and it is very well-represented in Bruno” - Espinosa

Bruno is very superstitious.

Throwing salt or sugar, not touching or stepping on cracks, knocking on wood, reciting mantras such as "sana, sana, colita de rana"

It is very common for us indigenous people to be superstitious and doing this kind of thing protects us from evil.

Second, Bruno's room inspired on the precolumbian tombs of Tierradentro.

Bruno's room it's a thing, huh?

Knows as the place where you go to see your future, it's literally a sacred tomb, with many indigenous factors, and I believe that the only place Bruno had his visions before get destroyed by Mirabel.

And speaks in visions, Bruno do a whole shamanic ritual to have his.

Making a circle of sand, protecting himself with salt and burning four piles of leaves every time before having a new vision.

It's just the traditional and the sacred of a Shaman.

Well, I never had indigenous latin representation before.

This is the first time i see characters who look so much like me, and I could, even that's not my country, see so much of my culture there.

And of course I am not the only one.

The Madrigals and Encanto are indigenous, and the fact there so many mixed people in the film is the best part, I love this movie beside some "low spots" they have. This still one of my best representation in media.

Redraw!!! I wanted to do another one, but I only managed to finish this one <\\\33 I HOOE Y'ALL LIKE IT ANYWAY GRAHHHHH

Winter Danio and ROM file, kind of to celebrate the fact that snow fell at our place.

This drawing was inspired by this cover of "Surface Pressure". I had this in my mind for so long and finally got to it now.

Also it's my birthday, I'm now Luisa years old. Yay...

"Encanto" and its characters belong to Byron Howard and Jared Bush.

Happy birthday to the one and only Jessica Darrow!!!🥳🥳🥳🥳

A picture of Dolores Madrigal I drew for her birthday! I’m still really proud of it! Fun fact: I thought she was going to be my favorite character because she’s so pretty. A certain awkward ratman took her spot though.

A meme I made because I was salty about the idea of Mariano being dumb enough to cheat on her.
