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
anyway, here’s my contribution to encanto twitter. sharing it here too (based on jared bush saying that he had an early idea about camilo’s room being full of mirrors, but “nothing is canon”)
Okokok Mirabel has no power and we all agree that’s valid and a good plot point and we love her anyway but I was bored so here are some concepts of what I think her power could’vebeen.
LIGHT MANIPULATION
Based on the candle motives of the movie, could also be some form of pyromancy, making lanterns burn brighter, fireworks exploding in the sky and putting out bonfires with a snap of her fingers, a bonus that when she uses it she glows.
MONARCH BUTTERFLY
Could mean a lot of different things, maybe she could understand them like Antonio or Turn into them kinda like Camilo’s shapeshifting, personally, id think shed have a beautiful pair of wings on her back, gliding around town and eyes going wide at Isabelas beautiful flowers.
CRACKS IN THE FOUNDATION
Everything she touches shatters like glass, worsened by negative emotions, this one could potentially have alot of angst, Pepa and Lusia could help her cope with her strength and emotions, though im sure Bruno would appreciate a roommate.
DOORWAY TRAVEL
She opens her bedroom door, and suddenly, she’s somewhere else, Magical doors appear and disappear in walls to where she wishes or needs to go, I picture she’d be more closely in tune with the casita because of the building themes.
MAGIC MENDING
She mended her family, and have you seen that woman’s dress? Mira can mend anything with her endless spools of colourful, indestructible thread, fixing buildings and helping her mother heal her father’s wounds, all while making beautiful patterns.
Mirabel passively experiences the same emotions as her family and friends around her, She can also manipulate them with her own. (Ex. Making them happy when she’s happy) Perhaps she and Dolores could bond over getting overwhelmed by people.
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 :)
