deadpool 3 was such a refreshingly good comic book film because the writers like what theyโre writing about. the actors like the characters theyโre playing. the source material & decades of storytelling was actually taken into account. there was lots of explosions n shit but the most important part of the story were the characters. imagine that
do you ever think about how terrified bruno must have been when his tower was falling on mirabel? how his heart must have constricted in his chest, convinced that his favorite niece was going to be crushed under HIS tower because HE gave her that vision and told her how to save the miracle and it was going to be. All. His. Fault. as if he might as well have killed her himself.ย
because i do.ย
iย think about that a lot.
(when he learned mirabel was safe, i like to think he was so relieved that he cried harder than he had in years. but then it was time to pull himself together, be the tio she deserved, and find her.)
I accidentally deleted my old tumblr account :/ so if I'm stuck having to start over from scratch I may as well start with reposting my most popular comic. Before this was posted in separate pieces at least now it's all in one and in order. Insight into Bruno's depression and the way his mental health impacts the people around him. From his sobrina struggling with the weight of knowing he's struggling without understanding why to his hermana feeling bitter and abandoned by his withdrawal because she's struggling in her own trauma and doesn't understand the way Bruno reacts to his trauma.
I came because I was in love with your obey me yandere smut! So...can I have something similar to "Mine" but with Simeon ๐ฅบ๐ฅบ๐ฅบ? Please!
Please ignore me if youโre not comfortable with this request.
Honestly, anon, it's sinful that'd you'd request such a thing of me! I couldn't possible write something like that for Simeon! I'll have you know that he is a man of God, and ANGEL and if you think okay the people who think Simeon shouldn't be depicted this way are gone now, lemme see what I have in my bag, my dear~

Enjoy.
Simeon never knew that he could feel this way about someone.
What he felt exactly, he couldn't say. He couldn't put a finger on itโ couldn't put it into words if asked. If he had to describe it, he'd probably say it was something that made him feel like his heart would leap out of his chest with its intense and rapid beating, something that made him want to be close to you, something that made him want to follow you to the ends of the Devildom and back (which may have been literal on some explorative occasions).
Either way, there was one thing this angel knew for a fact.
He had to have you.
This sense of possessiveness started out small. He would follow you around all day, walk you home most nights, and wonder what you were up to when he wasn't by your side. It was always so curious to him how a little human such as yourself suddenly became a being he held of higher regard and importance than Michael, though he'd never tell his higher-up such information.
However, it didn't take long for this obsession to grow.
Simeon was convinced that this was his Father's plan. That he was meant to feel this way about you, that you were meant to be his. Every night, he'd find himself praying, not only for your well-being and fortune, but also for a romantic relationship to blossom from your friendship.
It was the word of the Father, of course.
What God has joined together, let no man seperate. We must guard our union, so that the outside world cannot seperate it.
He has to protect you, no matter what. Especially from the vile lower demons that want a piece of you. Simeon wouldn't dare even think of harming one of the brothers, they were his brothers once, too; Nor did he believe that any of your friends should be hurt. But those that you were uncomfortable with? Those that you didn't know on a personal level? Those that wanted you? Their vary existence was sinful.
They must be cleansed.

"Simeon, what is this?"
Your voice was so sweet. It made him feel weak in the knees. Though, he couldn't afford to lose his composure now. Not when he'd finally mustered up the courage to ask you out on a date.
Well, it was a date you were unaware of. But he put his everything into it! You might as well think of it as such out of appreciation!
The angel smiled, motioning toward the empty seat in front of him. He'd managed to convince the owner of this restaurant to place a table on the second-floor balcony. He wanted to be able to see how the moonlight made your features glow.
Simeon had told you to dress formally for this dinner, but you didn't expect the setting to be this fancy! To say you were excited was an understatement.
You sat down in front of him, clasping your hands together as you tried to process your surroundings. "Wow, Simeon, this is truly amazing... I can't thank you enough, but I am curious about the occasion," You ask softly, a small blush forning on your face.
The angel chuckled softly, lifting one of his hands to gently caress the petal on one of the roses that the vase in the middle of the table held. "One as divine as yourself must be treated to such things, wouldn't you agree?" His voice sounded so sweet to your ears, reminding you of the vanilla sweets he and Luke would bake for you.
"Hi, welcome to... MC?"
You snapped your head to the side, looking up at the waiter approaching your table. Your face paled as you recognized the familiar demon standing before you. It was an incubus that had hit on you recently, the only one you didn't tell Simeon about. "Toran?" You murmured softly, earning a nod from the waiter. "Where have you been? Why haven't you responded to any of my texts, huh? You too good for me or somethin'?" The demon before you suddenly became more aggressive than you felt comfortable dealing with. Simeon could sense your growing discomfort and stood, approaching the waiter. "Excuse me, I don't believe this is appropriate conduct for someone in your position, may I request we get another waiter?" He asked, earning a scoff from the demon whose name he couldn't bother to remember. "Hey, I'm not talking to you, yeah? Why don't you-" "Toran!" You shouted, catching the attention of both of the gentlemen before you. "I... I gave you the wrong number, I'll give it to you. Please, just leave us alone, yes?"
Simeon's face contorted into that of a disgusted look, one that you didn't see.
Why the hell were you even entertaining the idea of giving your information to this asshole? You were supposed to be with him, not this foul demonic garbage. "That won't be necessary, MC," Simeon said with a warm smile, the demon turning to face him. "What the hell do you-" "I'd like to request a change in waiters, please. I don't think you'd want your higher-ups to know about this, so I suggest you do everything you can to make things right!"
He truly was angelic, wasn't he?
You couldn't help but smile a bit, feeling your heart thump against your chest as your cheeks heated up. You looked away for a moment, trying to calm yourself down.
Simeon glanced at you before he roughly grabbed the waiter by his collar and pulled him close. "It'd be in your best interest not to anger me. That girl is the only reason you're still breathing, demon," He whispered into the demon's ear before pushing him away.
Your gaze met the angel's and you couldn't help but blush once more. "A-Ah! Did he finally leave? I'm so sorry, Simeon. I didn't know he worked here! He's been harassing me for the past few weeks, and I just don't know what to do anymore." You started rambling, Simeon sitting down before you and listening closely to every single word that left those lovely lips of yours. They looked so soft.
However, he couldn't forget the sheer audacity of that demon. His presence, his words, his existence, all of it was a sin that must be cleansed. How dare he even breathe in your direction? It all frustrated the angel.
That's okay. Simeon would deal with him later. He had to comfort his lover now. "That sounds horrible! Have you told anyone else about this?" He asked reaching over the table and gently grasping your hand. You turned away from his gaze bashfully, blush only growing darker as you felt his eyes pierce through you. "No, you're the only one that knows about him."
Simeon felt his heart pound against his chest at this. He was the only person you trusted enough to tell? Oh, you're so dependent on him, just how it should be. What a good girlfriend you are, even if you didn't know it yet. "I see," He managed to murmur out softly, a light chuckle escaping his lips as you met his gaze once more.
"I'll do with this information what I can to help you, MC. I promise,"
_
Simeon splashed water over Toran's tied-up body, causing the demon to wake up in a panic. Though, his sounds of confusion were muffled by the gag in his mouth. Simeon's hand shot forward, gripping either side of his face and forcing him to meet his gaze. "Disgusting," He muttered softly, a glare making its way to the angel's face. He scoffed and pushed Toran's head away from him, taking a step back and pinching his chin between his thumb and index finger. "Ah, what was your name again?" He asked, voice shifting back to the one he wore normally. The one that angels such as himself were expected to wear. "Toran, I believe, yes?" He asked softly, adjusting his black gloves as he turned his back to the demon. "MC requested I not get you in too much trouble with your higher-ups if I take action. She really is sweet, isn't she?"
Simeon turned around, brushing his gloved fingers over the blade in his hand. "You see, I believe that MC is far too divine to be saddened by someone such as yourself. I believe it is my duty as an angel to expel any unhappiness from her life as I see fit." He made his way over to the demon, gently pressing the sharp tip of the blade against his chin. "I'm like her guarding angel in that way, aren't I? I'd make such a good husband, don't you think? If I asked her to marry me... No, she'd be weirded out by such a thing. I have to ask her to be my girlfriend first, don't I?" Simeon's list of questions was left unanswered, but the sound of the demon muffling something under the gag while he was talking only irritated the demon's captor further. "Has no one taught you manners?" He sliced the bottom of the demon's chin, blood spilling out, and a muffled cry erupted from Toran's throat.
"I truly don't appreciate how you treat MC... It truly is unfortunate. You must be cleansed, demon." He pushed the blade against Toran's chest.
"I will do what I must to protect my human,"
_
Simeon loved you. He loved you more than anything else in this world, more than he loved himself, more than he loved his Father. He just couldn't bare the thought of you rejecting him is all! That's the only reason why this happened.
You were close, so close to finding out his secret. So close to finding the corpses. He wrapped his hand over your mouth and nose and began to chant a sleeping spell into your ear softly, and when you fell limp in his arms, he placed you on the bed.
Now, you looked so beautiful, so innocent, so carefree. He couldn't help but be drawn to your divinity. The way your skirt was pushed up by the duvet slightly, showing him the plush of your thigh. The blush on his face was dark, as were his eyes.
He had to claim you.
In the blink of an eye, he was between your legs, sliding your panties off of you from beneath your skirt, his breath hitching as he saw your pussy. He could feel a lump of saliva form in his throat as he slowly lowered his hand, running two gloved fingers down your slit. Simeon stared at your cunt, not blinking, not moving anything but his hand. He was infatuated with your body, and the only thing that was missing was your whimpers and pleas for him to keep going. Slowly, he pushed his fingers into you, your velvety walls welcoming the digits.
You were tight.
You were a virgin.
A whimper poured from your lips as he shoved his fingers all the way inside of you, his knuckles meeting your entrance. Simeon glanced up at your face to see your expression change, brows knitting together as your lips parted ever so slightly. However, you gave no signal of consciousness. He reached his free hand forward as he began to slowly thrust his fingers into you, making scissoring movements to stretch you. With his free hand he parted your black RAD jacket and unbuttoned your teal underblouse.
Simeon's breathing hitched once more as he saw the white bra you were wearing, taking a moment to think about this situation. You were asleep and vulnerable, and here he was, defiling you. He looked down at his hand, eyes widening at how your essence clung to his fingers.
You wanted him too.
"Haah... I knew it," He muttered out softly, a smile forming on his face. "I knew you wanted me, you naughty girl. Your body's so honest with me."
Biting his lip, he slowly pushed a third finger into you. At the same time, he hooked his index finger around the middle of your bra, pulling it down, and allowing your breasts to spill out. Immediately, his hand groped your mound, squeezing the soft flesh and allowing a chill to run down his spine as he thrusted his fingers faster. "Come on, my dear, give me an orgasm," He said, voice full of desperation, making it seem more like he was begging you. "I need to see you cum for me, darling."
Soft moans and gasps erupted from your throat, and he felt your thighs pushing against his hand. He frowned, pushing your thighs further apart and positioning himself inbetween your legs. "None of that, Dove," He said softly, feeling the heat that pooled around his fingers go straight to his cock. His thumb reached up to trace circles over your clit, causing you to whine and squirm in your sleep.
He felt your walls tightening, excitement coursing through his veins as he thrusted his fingers faster into you, gloved hand soaked, and hand squeezing your breast. "Almost there, Dove," He almost whimpered out, cock twitching. Your hands moved downward, almost as if unconsciously trying to hide yourself from the stimulation.
Your eyes shot wide open and you let out a cry of pleasure as your orgasm came crashing down, coating Simeon's hand in your juices. His movements slowed, allowing you to ride out your orgasm.
Your blurry vision slowly began to re-focus, allowing you to see the angel before you. A sheepish smile appeared on his face as he pulled his hand away, pressing a finger to his tongue to get a taste of your cum. "Simeon?" You panted out softly.
Simeon's hand pushed his white pants and boxers down, freeing his hardened cock, pink tip oozing with precum. "I'm so sorry, my little Dove," He said softly, your eyes going wide as he spread your legs, cock pressing gently against your opening. "I wanted to wait... Ask you to go out with me, then after we got married, I'd take you in a more..." He paused, trying to search for the right adjective. "Romantic setting." Simeon's cock grinded gently against you. "You see, Doveโ" You felt him push into you, and you gasped, hands immediately clamping over your mouth. His mouth fell open, letting out a soft groan as he felt your cunt suck him in. "You're just... Soโ Hnngh!โ Tempting!" He slammed himself all the way inside of you, hips meeting yours as he bottomed out.
Tears fell from your eyes at the stretch and you felt his hands on your thighs, guiding them so that your legs would wrap around his waist. "You'll forgive me, right?" He murmured out softly, nuzzling his face into the valley between your breasts. "I'm only doing all of this because I love you." Simeon's eyes met yours and you could feel your body tremble. "S-Simeon, I-I wanted... To waitโ" "Wait until when, Dove?!" He suddenly became more aggressive, face now inches away from yours, cock pushing against your cervix, making you whine. "Until one of those vile demons got to you? That isn't an option! You were going to make love to me on the night of our wedding, what difference does it make that I take you here?" He huffed out.
You'd never seen him so angry before, nor have you ever seen him act so possessive before. He pulled his hips back, only to shove them forward again. You moaned loudly, closing your eyes and allowing more tears to fall. "You should be grateful..." He muttered, closing his eyes to try and maintain some of his composure. The contradiction in his words hardly meant anything to your hazy mind. While you did take a moment to realize that he just apologized for waiting before scolding you for wanting the same, the way he started to pound into you made your brain turn to mush.
"That it was me who was here instead of some random demon. I don't know what I would've done if someone deflowered you before I got the chance to, they might've ended up like the others!"
You flinched at this statement, looking up at Simeon through teary eyes. "O-Others?" He scoffed, burying his face into the crook of your neck to leave dark hickies that couldn't be hidden. When you didn't get an answer, you debated on asking him again, but he interrupted your confusion with a slam right into the spot that made you see stars.
You cried out, wrapping your arms around his neck and pulling him closer to you, feeling a knot begin to tighten in your stomach. "S-Simeon! G-Gonna c-cum soon!" You whined out, bucking your hips upward to get more friction between the two of you, hoping for further stimulation.
Simeon knitted his brows together as a thought came to mind. Perhaps if you were pregnant, everyone, including you, would know that you were his. Maybe if he got you attached to him in such a permanent manner, you'd never think about another man. Yes, that sounded absolutely divine. It sounded right.
"MC," He moaned out against your jawline, pressing a kiss to it before he moved upward so his lips were beside your ear. "I'm gonna cum inside you, okay?"
"W-What?!" You flinched, regaining consciousness almost immediately before almost being completely fucked out of it again. Simeon sighed softly against you, pressing a kiss to your cheek. "I'm gonna make youโ Ngh!โ A mamaaa..." He dragged out the last syllable as a blush formed on his face, feeling his orgasm nearing as his pace quickened and his thrusts became more desperate and rough. The tip of his cock bullied your cervix, making you nearly scream in pleasure. "You'll be good for me, right? Y-You'll take all of my cum? Carry my child for me? You love me don't you?"
Your walls convulsed and you screamed as you came, juices coating his length. "Y-Yes," You whimpered out softly, being rewarded with the smile that you'd grown to love on him. "My Dove," He moaned out softly, burying himself deep inside of you and grunting as you felt him paint your insides white. You could feel him filling you up to the brim, womb full, pussy throbbing and drooling with his cum, even though he hadn't moved. There was just so much. You'd never felt this full before.
He slammed into you a few more times, trying to ride out the pleasure of his orgasm, as well as fuck his seed deep within you, before slowly pulling out. The sight of his cum oozing out of you made him blush, looking up at your panting, exhausted form.
Simeon smiled, caressing your tear-stained cheek with the hand that wasn't dirtied, pressing a warm and passionate kiss to your lips. He felt his heart skip a beat when you returned the favor. Reluctantly, though he had to breathe, he pulled away.
"I'll do everything I can to keep you safe and with me, Dove... Even if it means I have to resort to desperate measures,"
Holy fuck, that was a long ass train ride. I hope you liked it, anon, cause I know some of your horny asses did!
The new baymax shorts are good, thank you animators for the representation, and remember kids, Disney doesn't get the credit for the diversity!! Animators typically have to fight for it, just remember alex hirsh and dana terrace and Rebecca sugar! And thats just to name a few off the top of my head, along with the animators who fought to keep Louisa physically buff!
Donโt just consider it. If you have the ability to switch to Firefox, this is your official notice to do it.
Stop everything youโre doing and go download and install Firefox.
If youโre saying, โwell, I need Chrome because I need such-and-such extension for my jobโ, the computer will not explode if you install another browser. Use Chrome ONLY for work tasks and use Firefox for everything else. If youโre concerned about losing your bookmarks, Firefox can import your Chrome bookmarks.
[ID: Firefox Library window. The โImport and Backupโ panel is expanded, displaying the option, โImport Data from Another Browserโ, which is also circled with a red MS Paint ellipse. ID end.]
And, donโt forget to install uBlock Origin while youโre at it.
Forgot a thing. Subscribe to Mozilla VPN for bonus points. Itโs basically the only truly secure VPN service in the world right now.
For $5 a month, you can completely conceal your online activities from your ISP in a manner that isnโt just immediately monetised or turned over to the cops. No, itโs not free, it does cost money, but the money doesnโt go to line a billionaireโs pockets.
I wonder how much of this is because of work/school from home forcing people to use Chrome so all their stupid monitoring softwares and platforms can work.
This is also your reminder that you don't have to use just one browser. You can use chrome for all the monitoring bullshit your office wants you to run and use firefox for everything else.
Be sure to add the multi account containers extension to your firefox, which allows you to be logged in to multiple accounts on the same website at the same time in the same window but in different tabs.
look on my five open tumblr accounts (not sideblogs, accounts!) ye mighty and despair.
Firefox is super good, folks. It's good in a general "google shouldn't own everything in the entire fucking world" sense AND in a "this is an actual good product that does lots of cool shit" sense.
ALSO make sure to add the Ublock origin extension on Firefox - I haven't seen a youtube ad in five years and you don't have to either.
While you're at it, why not add the Wayback Machine extension so that if you go looking for a page that has been taken down the wayback machine will automatically offer you an archived version instead; also handy for documenting people's shitty takes and winning arguments after they delete the original post!
Worried that Firefox is going to slow down your computer? In benchmarks, modern versions of chrome and firefox are pretty much the same speed but you can still install the auto tab discard extension ANYWAY so that it will snooze unused tabs in order to keep your computer running faster. Set it to sleep, discard, close, and store tags at your discretion!
And while you're at it: install Firefox as your mobile browser for android and add those extensions to your mobile browser! Mobile adblock is here, baybee, save your data and enjoy a better mobile experience! And install it on iOS! iOS can't add extensions, but at least it's better than safari, and if you want a somewhat more private iOS browsing experience try firefox focus for iOS (which is also available on android but you can accomplish the same thing with extensions).
Also: in January 2023, Chrome is making some changes to plugin architecture thatย effectively neutering adblockers.ย If you want good adblocking, you wonโt have it in Chrome.ย Use Firefox
(In fairness, some Chrome-derived browsers like Vivaldi and Opera have openly parted ways with Chrome about this, and more power to them, but Firefox is the way to go.)
Tags: nothing too serious really. Some foot play I guess.
As requested, I tried writing a flirtatious mc. I've come to realize that I have a harder time writing a dominant/flirtatious character. This was a quick one, since I finally had a bit of free time.

Diavolo
Its no question that Diavolo is very patient when it comes to being with you. After all, he doesn't want to pressure you, or worse, scare you away.
And so when you asked him not to tell anyone and to treat you normally in public, he felt obliged to agree.
But don't get it wrong...he would like nothing more than to announce who his princess is...and who she belongs to.
So imagine his delight when, surprisingly, you boldly made the first move. In the rooms of RAD nonetheless.
Diavolo's eyes widened in the most miniscule, undetectable way, as he felt something grazing his leg.
He glanced around the table of exchange students, then at the two sitting across from him. And unless Solomon had suddenly developed a carnal desire for him, then he could safely assume that it was your foot currently rubbing at him.
His jaw tightened; a practiced smile plastered on his face as he listened to the sorcerer ramble on about the findings of his latest experiment.
All the while, your foot had slowly dragged itself up his leg, and is now making its way towards a certain hardening area.
His golden eyes darkened as he met yours, and you saw it. The warning behind those dilated eyes.
But all he got in return was a cool gaze, as you sat back against your chair, leg outstretched as you rubbed your foot against his swollen member.
His body flinched a bit as you ground your heel against him, arms crossed as you grinned at him.
"I think it would be best if we end the meeting here. I forgot I had a rather important guest to entertain. If there's anything else you might need, feel free to contact me or Barbatos."
His eyes bore into yours as the words left his lips.
"You, however, will stay here. I believe there's still something I must discuss with you, isn't that right, y/n?"
~*~*~*~
Solomon
Solomon found you amusing. That's for sure.
Your cute little reactions when he touches you. When he sneaks up on you.
He loved teasing you, playing with you, cause he loved the control he felt he had when your reactions play right into his desires.
So when you finally decided you had enough; decided that its time to turn the tables; he was quite...delightfully shocked...yet unusually flustered.
You knew that he was aware of your presence. He always knew when you were nearby.
And you knew that he was just waiting for you to pass him by so he could touch you obscenely, as he usually does.
But he didn't know, that while his back was turned, talking to some demon; you walked closer, hands ready, palms open.
Hearing you draw nearer, his head tilted slightly; the sly grin on his face already evident. But just as you were about to pass him, your hand came down with a loud slap.
"Hey baby," you grinned up at him, hand still on his ass as he stared down at you, flabbergasted. "I'll see you next period."
You gave him a wink and his ass a firm squeeze before walking away, leaving him to watch you go, shock still evident on his face.
He played it off. He let it go as some trick of light or maybe you were having an off day.
At least he tried to...until he felt your hand sliding up his thigh as you sat beside him next period.
"Hey...did you eat something bad or what?" he whispered, hand grasping at yours.
"I'm bored," you pouted, batting your eyes up at him. "Play with me."
"W-We're in class..." His eyes wavered, feeling your hand resume its tracing on his inner thigh.
"That didn't stop you before," you glared at him, your hand now groping at his hardening member.
He stared at you, dumbfounded, then with a defeated sigh, he leaned in and whispered.
"Fine...follow me to the bathroom in 5 minutes."
Needless to day, you learned that day the joy he felt watching your reactions, because nothing was more entertaining than seeing the sorcerer's face blush under your touch.
Why are the minors downloading the game tho? Why did the minors look up the name, got into the official website, saw it was a nsfw game and still clicked on download? Oh yeah because the game isn't on any app store, why did they knowingly look for it mh? Mh?
Why does everybody on the planet have to babysit these fucking kids? If they are unsupervised by their own parents and have no self regulations as well, I'm sorry but it's none of my, or any creator's business. Stop acting as if anyone HAD to care for these kids, fuck em kids, I'm already the oldest of three, I don't need a hundred more thank you very much. If anything, everyone virtually babysitting them is doing them a great disservice, leading them to believe every adult has any sort of obligation towards them. Because spoiler: in the outside world, no we don't! We can and will but because we want to! Y'all raising some terrible entitled kids AND THEY'RE NOT EVEN YOURS!
Yo, minors: adults don't owe you shit, and you won't be minors forever, start to learn how to navigate life and internet spaces on your own to be safe and have a good time, because that's what we all did, it's called personal growth. If you want to play/watch nsfw content that you technically shouldn't be near of, you can, most of us did before coming of age, but if it scars or makes you feel uncomfortable it's on YOU, because YOU decided to engage with it so you also have to deal with not having anyone to blame but yourself.
Peace out and grow into decent adults bye๐ค๐ป๐
I think Antonioโs reaction to his ceremony is the most telling sign that Alma was hurting the family. This little boy is scared, and on a night that should be the most exciting of his life. I mean, he was going to get a superpower. What kid wouldnโt be bouncing off the walls with elation and impatience? He shouldโve been running to that door, but instead he turned away and reached out for his cousin.
When we first meet him, heโs hiding under a bed. He doesnโt want to be seen or celebrated, because the expectations that have been placed on him are so heavy he doesnโt want to face them. Heโs grown up seeing how the family treats Mirabel, as well as how she treats herself. He was unintentionally taught that in order to be special and loved, he needs a superpower. He wasnโt taught that being normal is okay, he was taught that itโs a disappointment. He was taught that he can only contribute to the family via magic or heโs useless. Perhaps even worse than useless, a burden.
Ultimately, Alma began to value the gifts given by the miracle over her family, and I think thatโs why Mirabelโs door disappeared. It was the candleโs way of saying, โLook at your granddaughter. Look at who she is, not what power she might obtain.โ Gifted children are often mistreated, even if it doesnโt seem like it. Luisa, for example, was praised for being strong, and because of her strength she was expected to shoulder every problem by herself. Isabelaโs gift seemingly bloomed perfection, and so she was expected to be perfect, even though thereโs no such thing. Almaโs abuse effected everyone.
So then, why did the magic work for Antonio but not Mirabel? Well, I think thereโs two reasons. First, we have to look at the source. The magic manifested itself when Pedro sacrificed himself for his family, meaning the magic is reliant on a strong family dynamic. By the time Mirabel was born, Alma had turned the miracle into an almost cult-like practice, dressing the children in white robes and inviting the town to observe. It wasnโt about family anymore, it was about the spectacle, so Mirabelโs door faded away. Thatโs not fair to Mirabel, but not all children are gifted. That doesnโt mean their family should love them less.
In Antonioโs case, however, Mirabel cared more about him than upsetting her grandmother. She wasnโt supposed to walk with him, but she did because he needed her. He needed his family, not some fancy ceremony or magic power. In that moment, only Mirabel could help him, and she unknowingly rejuvenated the magic because she wanted to be there for her cousin. In the end, Mirabelโs worth didnโt depend on some magic gift, it depended on her love for her family.
