Dos Oruguitas was robbed I will die on that hill-
Am I the only one who, after watching Encanto, uses “Clear skies” as a way to calm down? Like I know a lot of people see this as Pepa suppressing her emotions and not allowing herself to feel or forcing herself to be happy, but as someone who spirals a lot, like Pepa, I find that repetitive phrases or actions -like stroking a braid- to be incredibly self soothing.
To me, I think it’s less about not feeling these emotions and more of a way to step back and analyze these feelings with a clear (sky) head. Pepa has anxiety, and I think she would need these self soothing practices even without her powers. It is not fun or helpful or healthyto allow yourself to fall into a hurricaneof emotion when there is a safe way to calm down without a meltdown or a panic attack. No thinks it’s bad or unhealthy when she leans on Felix to cope, “Clear skies” is just has valid.
I need the kind of love they have ☀️

One thing I love about Encanto is how random all the gifts are? Casita went “okay you get emotion-based weather affect and you get absolutely deliberate and carefully prepared visions of the future -fuck what that implies- and you *drops hand on shoulder* are gonna get so many child labor laws violated”
Young Julieta, looking at Bruno: “Baby boy. Baby.”
Young Julieta, looking at Pepa: “Evil.”
Chapter 9 is slow going…. There is so much dialog and heavy topics and different conversations… I barely made headway today, hopefully tomorrow I can at least finish the first draft.
Have a little sneak peak to tide you over. It is unpolished! So please don’t pay too much attention to grammar and spelling.
I saw this post about 5 minutes after I saw this tweet, so I have to share:
(x)
bruno, on the phone with julieta: juli, she’s in the kitchen again…
pepa, reading a recipe: ‘beat three eggs’ in what? hand-to-hand combat?
julieta: GET. HER. OUT.
A part of me that’s missing
Julieta: why is Bruno mad?
Pepa: He can’t see the top of the fridge.
Julieta: Why is he mad at you?
Pepa: I asked him if he wanted me to tell him what it was like
Bruno: Hello all, it is I, your favorite person
Pepa: Actually, Félix is my favorite
Bruno: Okay then, it is I, that bitch
Young Bruno: Isn’t it weird that me and Julieta have dark hair like our parents and you are a ginger? None of our parents is a ginger.
Young Pepa:…
Young Pepa, thundering: MAMÁ! I AM ADOPTED? EXPLAIN YOURSELF. WHY AM I A GINGER
Pepa: Did Félix just tell me he loved me for the first time?
Julieta: Yeah, he did
Pepa: And did I just do finger guns back?
Julieta: Yeah, you did
Pepa: HELP! I’D TOLD FÉLIX I’D COOK DINNER TONIGHT BUT I CAN’T COOK!
Bruno, pouring milk directly into the cereal bag:And you thought I cloud help?
I just love how in the triplets reunion scene Bruno is like:
