even though it’s more popular in the fandom to make Camilo seem like his big struggle is his identity and that no one values him if he’s not someone else but I dislike that headcanon. Camilo never seemed to have problems with his powers, and there’s apparently no reason why he would. I think the problem is much more in the role he plays in the family. Camilo has to manage the mood/feelings of not only his mom but his entire family and possibly all encanto. Mom is thundering again, Camilo has to calm her down. Antonio lost his gifts, what will happen to him now? Isabela seems tense about her wedding, go on Camilo and tease her a bit so she can relax a bit. He’s so busy making sure everyone is happy and relaxed he forgets he’s also an human allowed to feel things and express it. The only moments we see him actually speaking his mind and showing annoyance is when he makes a JOKE. How fucked up is that to turn all your negative emotions into humor honestly?
my easter break is coming up and i promise guys i will answer my inbox and update PUTD, life has been super super hectic recently & i thank you all so much for your patience and kindness <3
I watched Encanto yesterday, and I loved it, but I didn’t get enough of Camilo, I wish he’d get a solo song too… So here’s a quick sketch because he’s a cutie :)
May be a bit ooc bc I’m still learning how to write the emo boy. Also first time writing in second person whoooaaa. Hope y'all enjoy ;)
Tranquility was always something Carlos felt when he was with you. He would feel calm, his normal scowl replaced with a small smile on the rarest days. You always brought his softer side out even though he wants no one to know about that hidden side of him.
The breeze was soft, the trees blowing as the village bustled with activity. Carlos smirked, watching and waiting for his next victim. His younger twin brother off to help those in need. Carlos rolls his eyes at the thought, grumbling to himself. He leans off the alleyway wall, walking into the busy market of encanto.
Carlos glances around, his eyes moving from one person to the next. No one really shining to him. He grumbles to himself, deepening his scowl. He rolls his shoulders, coming up to a fruit stand, quicky snatching a mango. The shop owner calls after him. Carlos smirks, taking out his pocket knife and cutting into the fruit. He hums, enjoying the tater of the fruit, taking in the sounds of the Encanto.
“oh camilo!”
Carlos turns, his smirk replaced with a immediate scowl. Of course it wouldn’t be a normal day without someone mistaking him as his twin. A girl runs up to him, placing a hand on his forearm.
“(y/n) was looking for you!” The girl says, patting his forearm before running into the crowd behind him. Carlos’ eyes widen, his thoughts running.
What could you possibly need with his brother. His younger brother he might add. Carlos grumbles again, walking the way the girl came from. He looks around, looking for you.
“To many people” he grumbles, slipping into an alleyway, leaning against the brick of someone’s house. He takes an aggressive bite of his mango, his face scowling at nothing.
What could you even want from Camilo? He’s so much better than his twin. In so many ways as well! Carlos drops his mango, a new mission on his mind.
Find where the fuck you were.
Camilo rushes up to you, his curly hair a mess as he breathes heavily. His hands on his knees as he leans over.
“Just…give…me” he huffs out, running a hand through his hair. You raise a brow at the boy, placing the crate you were caring on the ground beside you. Camilo stretches his back before looking at you sincerely.
“So, who’s the guy that asked you out?” Camilo asks, a questioning smile on his lips. Your face scrunches up, as you place your hands on your hips. You groan, as Camilo laughs.
“It was Diego! And you know how he can’t take a hint” you groan out, reaching down and picking up the crate again. Camilo gasps, grasping you forearm as he laughs.
“Him!? Really?!” Camilo laughs out, walking beside as you walk into the busy street. You sigh, grumbling to yourself.
“yeah, and he started saying stuff like” you say, starting to mock the boy “‘you need a strong man to be your husband’ 'you women need to be in the house watching the kids and make us men food” you gag out. Camilo burst out laughing, tears brimming to his.
“Oh my” he wheezes out, clutching his stomach when you come to a stop. You glance at the boy before shaking your head, setting down the crate.
“Here señorita maria” you say softly, as the lady looks at the crate.
“Oh gracias!” She says, waving at you as you walk with Camilo. The said boy still laughing his ass off.
“Will you shut it” you grumble, hitting his shoulder as he belows in laughter. Camilo finally calms himself, wiping a tear away.
“oh hombre, solo espera hasta que mi hermano escuche esto” camilo let’s out, a smirk coming to his lips. You choke on air, hitting your chest as you glare at the twin.
“Do not tell Carlos!” You say, your face becoming flushed at the thought of the older twin. Camilo snickers, glancing at you.
“Oh I don’t know princesa. I think it’ll be a great react from mi hermano” Camilo sneers, smirking down at you. You grumble, shoving him away.
“As if he’d-”
“What’d you want to tell me?”
You and Camilo go silent. Camilo looks back, rubbing his neck as a awkward chuckle escapes his lips.
“ah! Carlos, just the man I wanted to see” camilo says, glancing at you before looking back at his brother. Carlos crosses his arms, a scowl evident on his face. Camilo gulps before wrapping a arm around his brother.
“Well you see here, (y/n) here. Got asked out on a date~” Camilo teases, seeing his brother’s eye twitch. Camilo smirks, patting Carlos’ shoulder. Camilo leans in, a smirk still plastered on his face.
“To bad you were beaten to the game, hermano” Camilo whispers. Carlos glares deeply at camilo, huffing. He grumbles, shrugging his brother’s arm off before looking at you.
“Who asked” Carlos asks, his scowl deepening at the feelings raging inside his chest. You let out a chuckle, playing with your hair.
“Ah well,, it was Diego” you mumble, watching Carlos’ eye twitch yet again as a nastier scowl comes upon his face.
“B - But I said no to him after all..” you mumble, watching Carlos’ face slightly relax. Camilo watches the interact. A large smirk on his face as he slips away.
Carlos takes your hand into his, dragging you away from the busy streets of Encanto.
“Carlos!” You call out as he drags you behind him. His eyes set in front of him, scowl still present on his lips. You blink, stopping your struggling at you let the boy pull you.
Carlos takes you to a river bank. The trees overhang and create shade over the bank. Carlos let’s go of your hand, walking forward. He sits down near a tree, leaning against the trunk. You blink at the boy, confused as to why he dragged you here.
“Carlos?” You say, staying in your spot. Carlos ignores you, playing with his ruana. You sigh, walking over to him and taking a seat next to him. Pulling up your knees, you wrap your arms around your legs as your head rests on top of your knees.
Silence washes over you two. The stream of water and a few animal noises keeping you company. You look down towards the grass, thinking of a way to break the heavy silence.
“Did you really say no?” Carlos says, breaking the silence as his arms rest behind his head. You glance at the boy, his hair shining in the beams of sunlight. You smile as you feel heat rush to your cheeks. Blinking, you turn away, resting your cheek on your knee.
“Sí, I don’t like Diego” you answer softly, as Carlos nods. Carlos looks up to the sky, his thoughts running wild.
“Good” he mumbles, glancing at you. Your eyes wide, as heat flushes your cheeks.
“W - What” you stutter out as Carlos chokes on his spit. He leans forwards, hitting his chest coughing. Carlos looks at you, his fave flushed. his hair covering his eye in a beautiful way. You gaze into his eyes. He quickly looks away, coughing.
“Jesus” Carlos mumbles, facepalming himself as he grips his ruana. You raise a brow at him, a smile on your face.
Carlos falls onto his plush bed, smashing his face into his pillow. Two weeks have passed since that faculty moment and it feels as if that Diego guy continues to get at you. Anytime you and Carlos hang out, he just has to be there. Or when Carlos tries to talk to you, there he is, flirting with what’s his.
Carlos grips his pillow, screaming into it with frustration. Carlos hears his door creak open with footsteps. He glares, his face still smushed with his pillow.
“Go away” Carlos growls out, his voice muffled. Weight is added to his bed, making Carlos move slightly.
“You know, you could just ask her out”
Carlos glares at his brother, a sneer on his face.
“It’s not that easy idiot” Carlos growls out, his grip on is pillow tightening. Camilo sighs, looking at his swaying feet.
“It’s sad ya know” Camilo says, glancing at his older brother who glares at him. Carlos grumbles before sitting up and sitting next to his brother.
“whatever” he grumbles out, his posture slouched as he glares at nothing. Camilo feels pity for his older brother. Knowing how both Carlos and (Y/N) fee about each other. Camilo smirks, an idea popping into his head.
“Well i guess I’ll just have to tell Mami about your crush” Camilo lets out, making his brother jumps and grips his shirt.
“No you won’t!” Carlos growls out, glaring at his brother. Camilo smirks, moving to get up.
“Oh but i will~” Camilo coos, as his brother tries to stop him.
“Do not tell mama” Carlos says, desperation in his voice. Camilo smirks, turning on his heel to face Carlos. Camilo Lena’s forward, getting into his face.
“Well then confess” Camilo teases watching his brothers face erupt in color. Camilo doubles in laughter as Carlos tries to quiet him. Carlos runs a hand through his hair, showing his other eyes.
“Fine” Carlos grumbles out as Camilo smiles in satisfaction.
How did Carlos find himself in this situation again? Watching the love of his life crush talking to that good for nothing Diego. Carlos gags as his grip tie tens on his arms. Jealousy rising in him like a raging storm. He watches as Diego touches your arm in a sweet manner. Carlos grimaces, his grip tightening.
He should be the one touching you
Diego laughs as you scoot back, clearly uncomfortable by the boy who’s pursing you. Carlos’ mind is riddle with terrible thoughts on how to torture the poor boy. Carlos soon finds himself walking up to you two. A scowl on his face as he strides over. Carlos reaches up and grips Diego’s shoulder, pulling him away to get in front of you. Diego double takes, seeing the trouble maker. His face dropping as Carlos smiles up at him, a closed eyes smile.
“Why don’t you scurry on, yeah?” Carlos lets out, looking at him with a dead pane look. Diego almost pisses his self, nodding before running away. Carlos watches the boy retreat, a weight lifted off his heart fr the time being. You look towards Carlos, your cheeks rosy as you look at the boy. Carlos turns back towards you, taking your hand in his before dragging you off.
nothing quite like people talking about how much they love a character & then showing off fanart stuff they bought/made that’s so whitewashed the character would be unrecognizable if not for the outfit they’re wearing
