Shouldn't you be doing something important?

A bimbo.

A mean bisexual.

An even meaner lesbian.

She/theys

He/theys

A token straight who's on thin ice

An astrology bitch who has everyone's birth chart's memorized

And a short king

alpargatas - the shoes that Mirabel and other women in Encanto wear

COLOMBIA (obvious one and not that small but I love it, also it’s in the colors of Colombian flag)

capibaras - animals native to Colombia

mochilas - bags that Mirabel and other villagers carry

Día de las velitas (Day of the Little Candles)

wax palms - the palms that grow in Encanto are national trees of Colombia (they are also the highest palms)

Agustín playing En Barranquilla Me Quedo

there is so much more cultural and Colombian details in Encanto but I am not able to show them all in gifs unfortunately

the flowers that grow on Isabela’s balcony are bugambilias - you can see them mostly in Cartagena de Indias. all of the flora and fauna showed in Encanto is typical for Colombia

all of the villagers (Madrigals also) are catholic - you can see the church and the priest - it’s an important part of our culture and traditions

there is a song called Colombia, Mi Encanto sung by Carlos Vives (I refuse to believe there can be Colombians who don’t know who he is)

so yeah that would be it

I think I won’t be doing more of this because it takes a lot of time and phone storage but I’m really grateful I was able to share those cultural facts about Encanto with more people

For Autism Acceptance Month, I felt the urge to focus on Quinn’s terrible experience with a certain type of therapy that many autistic children were/are subjected to. For Quinn, this lead to masking, self harm, and overwhelming stress growing up. Because of her need to protect Claudette from this abuse, she was finally able to understand that her own autism wasn’t a bad thing and taught her daughter the same.

Misinformed and ablest societies are the reason why autistic people call for acceptance rather than awareness. We don’t need a cure, we need understanding and resources that actually help us rather than those that stigmatize and try to change us. 

The Family owns Central Park and sometimes lives there

We have seen a canon!Female Pugsley

Pugsley’s first word was “Help”, after Wednesday threw him down a trapdoor

Gomez went to Law School and actually somehow passed and also doesn’t know what the fifth amendment is

Morticia was in an arranged marriage to some guy but Lurch accidentally caused his death via toothpick so

Lurch has both a mother and a father and at least one of them built him

Wednesday was once stalked by a cat

At one point the Family had to hold a seance to bring Pugsley back to their plane of existence but stopped halfway through to play Charades with Thing

Morticia’s Mother was the Wicked Witch of the West

Grandmama had a brother named Jester who liked to play pranks

Gomez can be hypnotized by the sound of a bugle

Fester somehow had a baby with the Moon

Pugsley once wanted a job at the bank so he tunneled into their vaults and started counting money for them

The Addams Family have actually met the Scooby Doo Gang; they housekept for them while Gomez and Morticia were on another honeymoon

Speaking of which they canonically have had at least 32 honeymoons

They also banged during a hurricane definitely more than once

Grandmama has a Drug Cart

Wednesday taught Lurch how to dance at least twice

The Addams Family have an Alligator that has changed genders at least once and though that was probably more of a continuity error than anything I don’t care I love the Genderfluid Alligator™

Pugsley knows how to drive

At one point Gomez was voiced by Scrappy Doo

When Pugsley turns “Normal” he becomes an Underwear Intern

Wednesday has set fire to the Jehovah’s Witnesses and also a Camp but we all knew about that

Grandmama ran a Psychic Hotline

There’s a very good chance that Pugsley hatched out of something

Wednesday once had a crush on a boy so she tried to guillotine him
