#and block

after knitting my first ever sleeve, i’m here to say i’m a big fan

On Tumblr it's so easy to block out everything you don't like and never see anything related to it again so just do that. Just curate your space and stop making shipping and playing barbie dolls with TV show characters a moral race.

Just play barbies. Make them kiss, make them kill each other, make them dress up with each other and hug, just don't go around being assholes to people who play with different barbies or play with them differently than you.

Since I finally finished my first AU: “Fixing the Past” (same name on AO3 under same user) I thought I’d share this AU. It was one of the veryfirst from when I first joined the fandom.

New AU Alert!!!

This is an AU where after Mirabel’s ceremony, the Madrigal Grandkids are cursed. It it isn’t Mirabel’s fault; It’s Alma’s.

So Mirabel’s ceremony. It fails, Bruno leaves, etc., etc. BUT One key difference: The Madrigal Grandkids are cursed. They start to change in various ways over the course of a couple months. Extra appendages, animal ears, skin changing. (They don’t seem to care; they actually like the new features.) They don’t know why, but Alma thinks it’s Mirabel’s fault. She full on ignores her and her parents try to help, but it’s no use. Abuela even goes as far as to call her a problem child to her face, at 5.

Well, Dolores hears, and tells Isabela, and both are FURIOUS. Seeing as none of the adults are going to do anything, the decided to run away. With Luisa, Camilo and Mirabel. After they leave, Bruno comes back to help look for them, to no avail. So it’s actually the grandkids who run away for a decade. That’s another post though…

And don’t worry about Antonio; the curse affects him almost immediately, and Isabela and Dolores come back to Casita just to take him with them. They live in the Encanto forest btw, in a convoluted cave house system out of sight made by Isabela and Luisa. They all retain their powers (Mirabel is the next candleholder.). Antonio does get his gift, it’s just that he doesn’t do the ceremony; a couple days after his birthday he found he was able to talk to animals and the others kind of just accepted it and moved on. (His door is in Casita, he just doesn’t know it yet.)

Now, the relationships in this AU are entirely different. Isabela and Mirabel are very close, and don’t ever have their relationship strained. Dolores and Luisa are pretty close as well, always hanging out together. And while Camilo is close to Mirabel, he’s closest to Antonio once he comes along. Isabela and Dolores kind of act like stand-in parental figures in this AU too, though Mirabel watches after Antonio frequently so he kind of views her as a parental figure as well.

Another AU…sighs it seems I’ve dropped this; ☹️🤲🤡
