Mirabel (and Camilo) in different outfits!

Uh, anyone remembers that post with the screenshots from the movie where we get a glimpse of Mirabel's wardrobe? Well, I do

The post was made by @neon-green-eyes but the post doesn't exist now unfortunately. SO here are the clothes I referenced for the art:

Into the Pedro is casita theory, what if the house's state wasn't just tied into Mirabel's emotional state but his as well, and seeing his grandchildren hurting as well as the family he tried so hard to protect fall apart, was making him fall apart as well, even if he didn't mean to make the house and magic fall with him.

Because I can say from experience it's never easy watching your family crumble apart right in front of you and being unable to do anything about it.

Also, Pedro's spirit fading as the house fell apart, but still using every last bit of his strength and magic to protect everyone, from the woman he once loved to the children and grandchildren he watched grow and got to know even if they never knew him, just as he did when he was alive

Hey, @ the people who believe that Pedro's soul lives on within Casita, that means that the scene where Casita rushes to save Mirabel from the falling tower is Pedro once again using his own body to shield someone he loves from certain death and giving himself up to protect them

There's a lot of things about Encanto that make me emotional, but by far, Casita is the character that made me cry. Casita loves its inhabitants, its family, as much as any of the human characters do. She helps them, often without being asked, plays with the children, shows off for the townsfolk, and even treats the kids how the adults might, such as knocking Camilo for misbehaving or worrying about Mirabel going into the places where it can't help. Casita has such a fun personality, she's such a genuinely enjoyable character in the movie, and adds so much to the film without ever having a single spoken line. She's so playful and kind and cares so much so deeply about a lot for a living house lol

When she's falling and breaking and literally coming down, Casitas only priority besides helping Mirabel get the candle is protecting the Madrigals from harm. It softens Camilo and Isabela's falls before throwing them all out and letting the damage come down in front of the door so they can't come back in. 100%, I believe that it purposely weakened the wall Bruno smashes through so he could escape, wanting every single Madrigal to be safe. She knows that Mirabel wants the candle for a good reason, but the moment she has it, Casita immediately rushes to shield Mirabel from harm. If things started to go south before Mirabel could grab the candle, there is no doubt that Casita would have forced her to leave it and thrown her out to protect her even if the complete loss of it meant that Casita really could never return. AND THEN, in its actual final moments, Casita fucking waves goodbye to Mirabel and the other Madrigals.

Casita falling apart doesn't just feel like a house coming down, you really are watching another living member of the Madrigal family crumble down to nothing but broken bricks and chips of plaster. It feels so incredibly real and you get to panic for Casita as well as the Madrigals because you aren't just watching a house fall, you're watching another living being straight up die. She not only dies, but she uses the very last bit of her strength to say GOODBYE before she does and it makes me bawl my eyes out

God and when it comes back and she's so incredibly happy. She's singing! She's making music! She's pulling her family back inside as fast as it can and celebrating alongside them!! It missed them. Casita even sets up the photo to be taken and includes itself in it!! She's so fucking happy to be back and for everyone to be home and it's so CUTE, Casita is so precious to me

I love all of the Madrigals, but Casita is definitely my absolute favorite of them all. She's one of the best living object characters I've ever seen. She was created to protect the Madrigal family and does everything in her power to do so, no matter how big or small the danger might be

I don’t know if someone has pointed it out already, but… you know Alma’s room in Casita after getting the miracle?

It’s just a replica of their original house, when she and Pedro got married. 

The house they lost in their hometown.

[hola--casita]

Casita really wants her to feel like shes in a safe place, somewhere she can feel at home. Giving her something that makes this new unexpected place feel a little familiar

So many things I love about this two second clip.

Julieta's character design. I know we joke about Disney Moms and their exaggerated bodies, but Julieta manages to look like a real human being - and she actually looks her age! She looks amazing for fifty, yes - but look! Gray hair and smile lines, and still beautiful as ever. Agustin will back me up on this.

Mirabel's proud - almost braggy - expression. When she sings about Isabela for instance, you can practically hear her jealousy, but with her mom's gift she's just proud to be the daughter of someone who has helped, and continues to help so many.

Speaking of which, earlier in the shot (just before the gif), you can see a long line of people waiting for Julieta's treats. This means there's a large number of people in need of medical assistance, but Julieta doesn't hesitate to take a moment to heckle her daughter a little with this showy bit of affection.

She just loves her daughter so much. The look on her face when she catches sight of Mirabel is positively adorable. I know she's probably just trying to embarrass Mirabel a little, but her entire face lights up with the biggest smile, and then that face smoosh!!!!

It's common in media for parents to focus on the "perfect" child (I know this role is given more to Abuela instead), but Julieta has never made Mirabel feel different from Isa or Luisa. She loves her the same, gift or no gift. They share a similar moment in the kitchen when she heals Mirabel's hand. You can just see in her eye how strong her love for this girl is.

Bonus: a quick blink-and-you'll-miss-it-moment that got cut from the gif is after they spin around and release hands, Julieta's face while looking at Mirabel just made my heart swell.

That's her baby. And she's real proud.

Ay, mariposas… :( 🦋

I can't imagine the amount of stress Julieta can have when her gift can't heal someone Ex: terminal illness, old age, etc. This is young Augustin (mustacheless) comforting young Julieta after someone she was close with passes. I think her gift has some limitations and so in my headcanon this pushes her to learn more of the medicinal properties of food and herbs.

Julieta: Depressed? I’m the furthest thing from depressed.

Julieta: I mean, look at what I’ve accomplished.

Julieta: *points to a disturbingly large pile of food she has stress cooked*

Julieta and Agustin's wedding day! I thought they would have blue accents like how Pepa and Felix have yellow ones
