lloronala​:

miguel get ready to get ALL the smooches from your tatarabuela—cause she’s a lot more affectionate now than EVER.

“Mamá Imelda, I’m playing --”

Yeah, he should’ve expected that excuse not to work.

[cantenalcoro]

He’s just in the corner, strumming his guitar, singing very loudly --

[cantenalcoro]

"Tell you what... " Héctor gives a reigned sigh, "when you're a funny old viejo and you cross the bridge for good, we'll go and pull some little tricks for the fun of it." He smirks a little. "But your Mamá Imelda might be more of a threat to us than any guard afterwards... "

“But I...”

He groans, but visibly relents with a slump of his shoulders.

“Claro, fine. But if they don’t tear that de la Estupido statue down, it’s only a matter of time before it gets mysteriously defaced.”

(Spoiler alert: it’s getting defaced, one way or another.)

This blog is accepting development anons!

Bug my character about their past! Ask them about the things you wonder about! Give them scenarios to get their brain going! Today is all about bringing out the growth hiding within my character.

[cantenalcoro]

some clarifications i feel like i should put somewhere:

if our interaction takes place before or during the movie, he goes by miguel

if our interaction takes place after the movie, he goes by teto

i love writing threads where teto shares his new name for the first time

“long hug” ((from great-great-grandpa, HELLO. ❤️))

the hug meme   |   @indomitablespirits

Teto didn’t think he would see the marigold bridge again for a long, long time, so he had to check himself over to make sure he hadn’t turned into a skeleton when he wasn’t looking. Once he was sure he was okay, the rest of the questions got pushed back to the back of his head when he realized: he was going to see his family again!

He peaked over and through the arriving skeletons at the foot of the bridge, giving bashful polite nods and waves at the shocked skeletons who realized a living boy could see them, but his attention was scattered, eager to see familiar faces -- and terrified that he might not see one in particular. 

Teto recognized his sombrero first, the straw peaking up slightly above the crowd, and Teto felt his breath catch in his chest. His feet moved without his permission, but with more and more urgency, praying he wasn’t imagining things -- 

But no. It was him.

“Papá Héctor!” Teto cried out, arms outstretched and eyes blurry with tears as he ran, and then he finally wrapped his arms around that bony frame in the tightest hug he could manage. 

“I... I thought -” Teto couldn’t even say what he thought without his throat feeling tight, and he held onto his grandpa that much tighter, resting his head by his ribs as he choked out: “You’re really here.”

19. “comfort hug” / - from both twins !

the hug meme   |   @skelemos

Teto hadn’t noticed he was crying until a skinny ribcage pulled him in close.

He blinked in surprise. They weren’t bad tears, he was pretty sure, it was just -- a lot, he guessed. Learning that he could still see his family on Día de Muertos, finding out that he hadn’t failed Papá Héctor and he was still remembered, plus telling his deceased family his new name -- it was all wonderful, and perfect, but it was still a lot. He’d been holding onto these reservations and fears for a whole year, and now that he could let go of them, he was getting more emotional than he thought he would.

But he hugged his tío back immediately - funny, he was already getting used to the feeling of hugging a ribcage instead of skin - and he laughed when he felt another skinny tío hug him from the other side, sandwiching him between their bones. 

“I’m okay!” Teto reassured them, but made no move to get out from their embrace.

my favorite thing about the short is how imelda keeps her goo-goo eyes on hector when he fuckin. jumps in her arms. just catches him all smiley, and it’s not until afterwards that she notices the Big Mess he was trying to avoid
