Im working on Casita, wish me luck
Angsty Headcanon: When I first watched Encanto, I was surprised at Mirabel’s lack of bitterness over not having a Gift, as well as her close relationship with Casita. This is because I thought initially that the magic came from Casita, and it was what gave the family members their doors and powers. As the movie went on, it was clear that Casita was a creation of the Encanto, just like the Gifts were, and didn’t have control over everything.
That being said, what if five-year-old Mirabel thought that her door disappearing meant that Casita was rejecting her. Imagine a distraught Mirabel in the nursery after the ceremony, wondering what she did wrong, asking in a broken voice if Casita hates her. Imagine Casita becoming frantic, waving doors, putting blankets around Mirabel’s shoulders, and trying to communicate to her in whatever way it can that it doesn’t hate her and has no idea why she didn’t get a Gift. The whole house starts vibrating with distress, unable to cope with its youngest inhabitant thinking it would hurt her on purpose.
That’s the first time Abuela notices the cracks and wonders if Mirabel is the cause.
I read somewhere that in an earlier version of Encanto they were planning on having casita also be mean to Mirabel, and listen, the family casting me aside, viewing me as a failure, that I can handle… but if the fucking house starts waking me up at 5 am for shits and giggles VEAN A VER DONDE SE CONSIGUEN OTRA HIJUEPUTA CANDELA because I’m not just blowing it out I’m destroying it. This has been a psa.
Uploaded a quick walkthrough of my WIP build of Casita from Encanto to YouTube! Not done yet, but just a test to see if anyone would be interested in that kind of content in the future.
Was interesting learning how to edit videos lol. Didn’t do a great job, but hey, it’s a first attempt!
Encanto has a stranglehold on my life now, to the point where I see a piece of art like JC Leyendeckers “the 3 Magi” and my brain goes “BUT WHAT IF MADRIGALS!?”

My dear friend commissioned me to help design the door for her room in Casita! If you’re interested in a door of your own, hmu ;)
WHY DID CASITA EVEN PREPARED A DOOR FOR MIRABEL IF IT KNEW SHE’S NOT GOING TO GET EITHER DOOR OR POWERS?!
