Once ♥️

be happy 😁

[bribelle]

i loveeee dexter’s destiny being vague and not really revealed as it feels like there’s so many interesting options on who he is the prince for and each one opens up really cool dynamics and stories and I love exploring so many of them.

[princessamericachavez]

Love how Dolores calling Mariano the man of her dreams was initially framed as a “oh because he’s pretty” crush and when the confession time comes it’s really because she has HEARD him for so long and she knows little things about how kind and loving and sensitive he is and THAT is what she loves. Mariano is a character that comes off as cheesy and plain at first but really he’s just earnest and “filled with so much love” and Dolores KNOWS it.

[heinoura]

If the engagement really happened and Mirabel didn't interfere, Mariano and Isabela would truly be a second version of Pedro and Alma: but loveless, because Isabela didn't love Mariano in that way. (Taken from Art of Encanto)

Saw something about apple being a sacrificial lamb and had to paint this :) very proud of it

[jacarandaaaas]

got a stupid doodle comic idea a few days ago so I drew it😭

I love corny mariano who makes unhinged jokes! Dolores laughed her ass off for at least 10 minutes tears in her eyes 💀

[aquaaquila]

As much as I love the potential of Maui and Luisa hooking up together to have Luis as their kid, I do admit that ultimately, it would make 10 times more sense if Luis was Dolores and Mariano's kid than directly Luisa's.

Luis is both a hunk and a love interest character, which matches, considering Mariano is also a hunk and a love interest character who happens to be a romantic, according to Dolores.

In Latine families, it makes perfect sense to name kids after relatives like grandparents, uncles and aunts, parents, cousins, siblings, etc. It's not exactly that uncommon, so Luis being named after Luisa would track, as Luisa would be seen as a great role model. Furthermore, expecting him to be even more like Luisa once he has a gift that is just like hers (and Luisa's lessons kind of no longer applying since she's not exactly the one to continue the cycle and it could fly over Dolores and Mariano's heads as they weren't really there for Luisa's character development even if Dolores most likely heard them).

Usage of yellow makes sense on Pepa's side of family, even though I'm pretty sure Mariano and Dolores's family would utilise more shades of red but I digress.

Luis could still be addressed as Luisa's nephew first and foremost to uphold the tradition of Descendants of giving basic names to Descendants in question.

Juan and Javier Guzmán Madrigal Headcanons;

Juan Félix Guzmán Madrigal Headcanons:

His full name is Juan Félix Guzmán Madrigal.

Hs is 1 years old by D3.

He is the son of Dolores Madrigal and Mariano Guzmán—the youngest son of Dolores Madrigal and Mariano Guzmán, to be exact.

Juan is the twin of Javier Gabriel Guzmán Madrigal.

They are the youngest in their generation—the babies of the family—and will be for the forseeable future.

Juan has six older siblings, not including his twin brother of course. The siblings are: Princesa and Elmira (19), Oscar (16), Fuega and Ligera (14), and Leta (12).

Juan is is younger than Javier by 2 hours—he was born at 12 AM on July 1st, 2062.

Each twin has a rattle they are very attached to that they hate being separated from.

Juan's middle name is Félix, after his maternal grandfather.

Juan is aromatic and doesn't really have a preference for boys or girls.

Javier and Juan have a conjoined crib and will eventually discover a secret passage that connects their bedrooms after they get their gifts.

Unlike his siblings and many of his cousins, Juan will go on to attend the Encanto's only high school instead of Auradon Prep when he's of age to go.

He will eventually gave the gift of shrinking on command.

Juan has been described as playful, quiet, clingy, loyal, and stubborn. But he'll eventually grow up to be popular, chill, introverted, and mellow as well.

Juan goes on to be a good friend of Petunia Rossi, Anakin of Neverland, Prince Montgomery Westergaard La Bouff of the Southern Isle, Eloise Bluefairy-Carmelo of Llyr, and Starla Gloom when he's older.

He goes on to be quite fond of shorts, flip flops, and Hawaiian shirts.

His symbol is a pile of miniature items.

The weirdest place Juan has ever hidden during a game of Hide 'n Seek is behind Dolores' shirt.

Turquoise is his favorite color.

When he's five, he get a baby duck from Antonio for his birthday who he names 'Puddles'.

He resembles Félix, Pedro, Giovanni, Mariano, and Hugo quite a bit as a baby but eventually he'll take more and more after Félix as he grows.

He goes on to inherit Félix's family farm after he dies but before then he becomes a local musician.

He also inherited Camilo's smirk, Dolores' little humph, and Félix’s side eye. 

Personality wise he's a lot like Félix, Antonio, Pedro, and Dolores.

Juan and Javier were born when Dolores was 48 and Mariano was 50.

Juan's favorite members of the extended family are Pepa, Félix, Antonio, and Mirabel.

His favorite parent is Dolores.

His favorite siblings besides Javier are Oscar, Princesa, and Elmira.

His first word was 'Mira'. He was trying to say Mirabel but couldn't quite get it.

Juan’s plate will be pastel yellow with leaves, white and teal daisies, and a pile of miniature items . 

Mariano once caught Juan trying to climb into the oven after he learned how to walk steadily enough. The oven was on. 

Dolores and Mariano color-coded Javier and Juan to keep track of them—luckily both twins ended up liking the colors they picked for them.

They would dress Juan in brown, turquoise, white, and yellow.

Each twin has a rattle they are very attached to that they hate being separated from.

Everyone likes to joke that Juan and Javier have a telepathic connection because they seem to understand each other without words.

Both twin finds animal shows and the taxidermied animals in the house amusing.

Mariano reads them poetry to get them to sleep as babies.

Juan's room is the last one on the fourth floor. There's a secret passage to Javier's room in it.

Pepa amuses them by making rainbows to get them to laugh and Felix bounces them on his lap.

They also find Leta, Bubo, and Agustín's clumsiness funny.

They each have their own uniquely designed stuffed animals and baby blankets from Mirabel.

Juan has a stuffed duck and a turquoise baby blanket with white and blue daisies and rubber duckies on it.

The frame of his door is turquoise.

His door shows him standing at foot level, completely shrunken.

Javier Gabriel Guzmán Madrigal Headcanons:

His full name is Javier Gabriel Guzmán Madrigal.

Hs is 1 years old by D3.

He is the son of Dolores Madrigal and Mariano Guzmán—the second youngest son of Dolores Madrigal and Mariano Guzmán, to be exact.

Javier is the twin of Juan Félix Guzmán Madrigal.

They are the youngest in their generation—the babies of the family—and will be for the forseeable future.

Javier has six older siblings—the siblings are: Princesa and Elmira (19), Oscar (16), Fuega and Ligera (14), and Leta (12).

He is older than Juan by 2 hours—he was born at 10 PM on June 30th, 2062.

Javier is the more mischievous twin.

The weirdest place he'll ever hide during Hide 'n Seek is beneath Camilo's cloak (yes Camilo knew he was there and helped him hide). He's a little cheater.

Javier takes after his Uncle Camilo more than he does either of his parents.

Javier's favorite members of his extended family are Cipriano (Mariano's brother who owns a toy shop), Camilo, and Antonio.

His favorite aunts are Débora and Lydia.

His favorite parent is Mariano.

The siblings he is closest to besides Juan are Leta, Fuega, and Ligera.

Javier learned how to escape from his crib quite early.

No big deal, right? It’s normal for a child to escape from their crib, after all,  but of course, Javier decided that escaping from his crib the moment his parents’ retired for the night was the right move.

Javier having snuck out of his crib by himself was obviously not the first thing on Dolores’ sleep deprived mind when she got up to check on the twins in the middle night only to find one gone.

Needless to say, Dolores woke the entire house up screaming bloody murder and Pepa hailed.

Javier was eventually found by Félix, fast asleep in a bush once the hail resided. He slept through the entire thing and was not pleased when a frantic Dolores woke up with frantic kisses to his face. 

She and Mariano were very relieved when they realized that A. Their son was safe and unharmed, and B. No one had broken into Casita to kidnap their son. (Casita, on the other hand, was very offended at the notion that she’d allow anyone to break in and steal one of the children).

Javier’s plate will eventually be pastel yellow with leaves, red and turquoise roses, and a glass of water with a toy whale in it. 

Javier, even as a baby, is the taller twin. Something that will never change.

His symbol is a glass of water with a toy whale in it. 

Javier's first word was 'Let'. It quickly became aparrent that he was trying to say Leta.

Javier inherited Dolores' height and slim frame and Camilo's smirk. He also inherited Mariano's looks and the face he makes when he has a realization.

People often comment that he looks a lot like Pedro used to and that he looks a lot like Giovanni and Hugo (even though the two of them are adopted and Javier isn't).

Javier and Juan were born when Dolores was 48 and Mariano was 50.

He will eventually have the gift of growing on demand.

Unlike his siblings and many of his cousins, Javier will go on to attend the Encanto's only high school instead of Auradon Prep when he's of age to go.

He meets his future boyfriend, Rowan Rossi, through his sisters—Fuega and Ligera—who are friends with Rowan's sister, Tulip.

Both Lampwick and Tiger Lily were wary when Rowan started dating Javier due to how different the two were, and due to how irresponsible they viewed the boy to be—but they'd seen Javier grow up over the years and eventually decided that Rowan could be with worse people.

He grows on them eventually.

Javier grows up to be a tiger tamer at the Encanto's traveling circus while his boyfriend, Rowan, who is six or seven months younger than him, goes on to become a knife thrower at the same circus.

Javier is nineteen and Rowan is eighteen when the two start dating.

Javier goes on to be a good friend of Petunia Rossi, Anakin of Neverland, Prince Montgomery Westergaard La Bouff of the Southern Isle, Eloise Bluefairy-Carmelo of Llyr, and Starla Gloom when he's older.

Javier has been described as playful, mischievous, quiet, clingy, loyal, and stubborn. Most of that stays the same as he grows. Though popular and extroverted gets added to the list while clingy gets removed from it.

He goes on to be quite fond of button up shirts, dress shoes, vests, and suits the older he gets.

He and Rowan's ship names are Wavier and Roja.

When he's five, he gets a kitten who looks a bit like a tiger for his birthday from his Uncle Antonio. He names it 'Batter'.

Teal is his favorite color.

Javier often toddles after Ligera, Fuega, and Leta because he looks up to the three of them an awful lot and likes the mischief they cause.

Javier is gay.

Javier's middle name is Gabriel after his Maternal Abuelo's brother.

Javier and Juan have a conjoined crib and will eventually discover a secret passage that connects their bedrooms after they get their gifts.

Alma approves of Rowan within six months of him and Javier dating despite her reservations.

The reservations in question being her worries about Javier wanting to follow Rowan around the world on his adventures, and never returning to the Encanto because Rowan isn't exactly shy about the fact he doesn't enjoy living in Neverland despite growing up there.

Eventually those worries cease (neither Javier nor Rowan would ever stay permanently apart from their families, after all). And eventually Alma approves of Rowan fully.

She approves so much in fact that she literally dies seven months into Rowan and Javier's relationship (as she told Casita she would).

Dolores and Mariano color-coded Javier and Juan to keep track of them—luckily both twins ended up liking the colors they picked for them.

They would dress Javier in teal, brown, and red.

Each twin has a rattle they are very attached to that they hate being separated from.

He has a scar on his brow and a butterfly birthmark.

Javier has a stuffed tiger and a teal baby blanket with red flowers on it.

The frame of his door is teal.

His door shows him towering over the Casita.

Sorry that this one is a bit lackluster. I don't have many headcananons on the two of them as kids for the most part. If anyone has any headcanons they'd like to add feel free to and I'll add it to the list.

[hannahstales]

A lot of people seem to write Mariano as fairly simple minded with average poetry.

But I personally think it'd be funny as hell if he knew all kinds of random rare words and their meanings because of something along the lines of

"I couldn't think of something that rhymes with lemon so I went to the bookstore and got the thickest dictionary I could find."

As much as I love the potential of Maui and Luisa hooking up together to have Luis as their kid, I do admit that ultimately, it would make 10 times more sense if Luis was Dolores and Mariano's kid than directly Luisa's.

Thanks for saying that, I totally agree.

✨ So this is love? ✨

Mariano Guzman has always been a romantic at heart. He loved, well- love. The idea of falling hopelessly and truly in love with someone, and spending the rest of their loves together… that was it for him. Ever since he was a boy, he put pen to paper and wrote poetry every day about this magical feeling.

He didnt share that poetry often, especially not till he was courting a certain young woman. He would just read his poetry outloud into the wind, or the night sky. He never knew he had an audience… but that’s for later.

The point is, the idea of love is what drove Mariano through life, well that and making his grandmother happy. So when hints were dropped, and discussions were had, he suddenly found himself frequently in the presence of one Isabella Madrigal.

He felt like the luckiest guy in the world. It wasn’t about the prestige of the family Madrigal, but Isabella was beautiful and kind. And he thought he loved her. And he thought she loved him.

They began courting. Shared conversations, chaperoned dates, family meet ups, so on.

Looking back though, he can see it. The distance in her eyes, how stilted the conversations were. How she politely nodded and accepted his poetry but seemed disinterested, uncomfortable even. He does think they were friends, but in hindsight, knowing what he does now, its all very different.

He remembers the way Isabella acted the perfect part, while subtely making sure Alma and his grandmother were pleased. How Alma seemed to be driving all the decisions, more than Isabella’s parents even, and more than Isabella herself.

And then the engagement dinner. And the explosion of plant life all through the valley, never seen before. Despite the pain of a doubly broken nose, he remembers wondering why Alma was so upset. The plants were different but still lovely, and in the distance it looked like his betrothed and her younger sister had somehow found each other again. Wasn’t that its own miracle? He always liked Mirabel. Who cares if she didn’t have the magic? She was kind, energetic, funny, great with kids, and always willing to help.

He also thought that Isabella had never seemed that happy and free as she did in that moment. And he was all the way across town. But he could hear that carefree laughter.

He’d never heard that from her before, and until that moment he never realized how strange that fact was.

Something had clearly been bothering Isabella. He knew it from the dinner, and he was determined to help her through it if she let him. Whether it was wedding jitters, or something more.

Then the house fell, and everything changed again.

Isabella came to him, and explained everything. Although they agreed to remain friends, and he held her no ill will, only wanting her to be happy- he did feel a little crushed. He was also a little shaken that she would’ve gone through with the marriage, despite not really loving him. That’s the part that didn’t make sense to him, how could you commit to that if you at least didn’t think it was real love? After all, he’d been thinking of love and marriage his whole life.

He thought he loved Isabella. He thought he loved her in the really big way the stories tell, and the songs say.

Turns out, he was in love with the idea of love- not actually in love.

How does he realizes this, is slowly.

It starts with a meddling younger sister, opening his eyes to someone he always liked but unfortunately overlooked.

It was slow, just like the girl wanted, and despite the jokes he made… turns out that’s what he wanted as well.

After many dates, and talks, and walks, and late night poetry performances to the audience he now knows he’s always had- it happens.

It happens without him realizing it, something real.

He is sitting on a bench on the edge of town, Dolores’ head in his lap. Sun drifting through the leaves, a soft breeze carrying laughter of children from the town square.

He meticulously is working on a wood carving, a new hobby he’s picked up. He’s learned how Dolores finds some sounds soothing in the cacophony of life she is exposed to daily. That focusing on certain sounds help, such as the heartbeats of her familia and those she loves (When he learns how long ago his heartbeat was included in this list, he’s overcome with emotion and over the moon. He may have written some poetry about that). He also learned she likes the sounds of windchimes, pocket change, falling sand, and- the sound of carving wood. So he started learning.

He stops for a moment, and looks at Dolores, and all he can think is-

He loves her. And this feeling isn’t new, he’s felt this for a while now. Its just that in this moment, it hits him- and nothing in this world has ever made more sense than this simple fact.

Mariano Guzman loves Dolores Madrigal.

‘So this is it. This is love.’

He can finally say, that it is exactly what the stories and songs say. That its everything he ever wanted.

This is when he realizes, he’s never been in love before. Just the idea. He thinks back to something Isabella said in their talk ‘I want something true, and who cares if its perfect? It would be perfect for me. I just want my life to be mine, to feel real’

He gets it know. He wants something true too. And he found it.

“Mmmm you stopped” Dolores says drowsily.

“Forgive me mi amor, go back to sleep” he whispers.

She smiles when he kisses her head, and returns to work.

He sees it, in this moment. What their lives can be together. He see’s them old and grey, still on this bench, because some things never change.

He can’t wait.
