💙 Happy Valentines Day part 2 💙

You didn't think I would leave them out right? 😏

As it is usual on valentines day, singels sometimes are overrun by people who aim to snatch a date. However, Ernesto isn't interested in a huge wave of crazy women and Ceci surely couldn't care less for men attempting to court her. So before she can say no, Ernesto finds a way for them both to sneak away. And this time, she doesn't protest. Well, hardly.

"Hey! I never allowed you to pick me up!"

"I'm aware!"

"Wonderful! Then put me down! I can walk on my own!"

"Sure you can! But not fast enough! Hear that crowd behind us? I'm a specialist in making us disappear without them or the paparazzi finding us!"

"Fine! But as soon as we're far enough, you put me down!"

"Oh, come on! You should be proud! You're the only woman I ever carry! ... Well execept in my movies ... movies don't count!"

"Is that supposed to be a compliment?" One of her brows lifts slightly higher.

"Sí! - I mean ... maybe?"

"Try better!"

"I could sing for you."

"Oh, dios mio! No thank you!"

"What? I'm a fantastic singer!"

"Uhm hm ... I get to listen almost everyday. Also, I assume that ferotious crowd of fans and suitors are eager to hear a little something!" She smirks. "Not that we aren't trying to sneak away!"

"Ok, ok! Do you always have to do that?"

"Do what?" Her amused expression still lingers on her face.

"Mess with me like that!"

"Aww, is my interlectual, inteligence to much to handle for you again?"

"Ceci!" He turns his head to face her. "Would you st-"

A clatter in front of them makes Ernesto tumble slightly and Ceci has to cover her mouth as not to burst out laughing.

"Sure thing! If you'd keep looking forward! Next time you might run into a wall if not a pile of wooden boxes!"

"Ha ha! Hilarious!"

"Watch out! Lantern post!"

Their chuckles are only heard by four little glowing Chihuahua's who are following them all the way through tight streets to one of the very few backdoors of Ernesto's huge mansion.

And so, Ceci saw the mansion for the first time.

A/N - Yes, before you point out that it's their "alive" vers. (In my book, I somewhere mentioned, that one of the alebrjies abilities is to see the dead as they were. Or better said, they see the spiritual body that is still there. (I didn't have enough time to finish this as a 3 part thing! I had a cold 🤧)

Also ~ Happy Valentines Day! 🌹 @las-traigo-muertas

Coco Question

Yes we are back with more from the Land of Coco! 

I’m not apologizing for my Coco dumping I am just too far gone to be rescued at this point. 

And again if you haven’t seen Coco this is a spoiler question, so what are you still doing here, GO SEE COCO! Then come back here and lets discuss!! 

Alright so here’s my thing this time. I have watched all behind the scenes, watched the movie over 30 times now, and have read through the book and I still don’t know the answer to this question. 

The only last resort I have is either A. ask the writers on twitter, that is if they have a twitter or B. watch the commentary, which when i do eventually do that I will probably go back and either delete this post or edit it. 

Until I accomplish either of those things I really hate trashing on the Pixar Animators because when they add in a detail my gawds do they add in a detail. 

From expressions of horror 

To bangs bobbing when they are suppose to. 

They animate like no bodies business and they do it amazingly. 

But i really think they were lazy when it comes to this. 

Alright so remember Hector’s Frida Costume that we first see 

So we get it he wants to look like Frida and he makes a very convincing Frida. We all know though that the costume didn’t work and is obtained by The Department of Relations authorities and that they don’t give it back. 

Okay so that’s a fact and we can accept that.  

Hector apologizes to Ceci for losing the dress and Ceci is of course pissed because now she has to make another one. 

So after they leave the rehearsal area, Hector and Miguel arrive at the plaza theater and preform then separate, right?

Right, but Hector knows where Miguel is going so all he needs is a costume to get into Cruz’s party. 

But wait where in the world did he get the costume. 

No, seriously really think about it, where did he get it? 

Sunrise is coming and as soon as Miguel meets de la Cruz he’ll leave, Hector knows this so he knows he doesn’t have a lot of time. Both the Department of Relations and Ceci’s  warehouse are too far away for him to go to either, plus Ceci wouldn’t give him another costume cause then she would have lost two and if even if Hector went back to the Department he would have to sneak in take the costume then sneak back out. 

There is literally no time for that. 

So here is what I think Hector did. 

After he losses Miguel he goes back to the backstage of the competition and puts together a Frida costume by whats left around. In the book they talk about how after the competition every thing was just left there, so if that’s the same in the movie, then Hector could have easily thrown something together especially if he kept the unibrow on him. That’s easy for him to keep cause it could have stuck to the inside of his jacket. 

The only problem i have with this theory is that there really is no reason why the Frida costume would look the EXACT same as the first one. The top alone should at least be different but no it’s the exact same costume, this time he’s just missing the jewelry. 

I really think the animators didn’t want to create a whole new Frida costume plus when he shows up to the security guard the animators wanted the audience to know it was Hector and not Frida so they used the same costume as before.

But they just skipped over on how he got the same costume as before and it kinda ticks me off.  But then again this is all just me and I haven’t looked at all my options, the answer might be just in front of me and I don’t see it.  So what do you all think of this? Where do you think Hector got the costume, please message me about it or comment on this post. I wanna talk about it ‘cause I really love talking about this movie!  Alright guys my next post should be about the book so I’ll see ya guys then. 

Have a great day, everypony!

🌼 Big Info/Update on my "Coco" Book 🌼

So it's almost been a year ...

Wow! What a journey so far! I wanted to take my time to talk to you "every dear one of you who loves my art and follows me" for a bit. Now, this will be a long post so keep that in mind!

I cannot remember a year in which I went through so many changes. I grew a lot mentally and I learned a lot. When I first watched Coco, I didn't know at all what kind of impact it will have on me. I know it did for a whole lot many more than just me. It's not just a movie, it's something that moved my heart in depths I cannot explain. Look, the only movie franchise who ever was able to impact me that deeply was Lord of the Rings/Hobbit, but then Coco came along and well ... Héctor! ... and Ernesto.

But talking about Héctor in every little detail possible is planned for another post. There is so much! And Ernesto even more. Ernesto is actually (has actually) been my biggest surprise this year 🤯 And let me tell you why for a little because this is a important part of this whole post!

Villains. We all know what a villain is. When I first saw Ernesto, I was instantly drawn to his charmful personality. I love mexico! I love mexicans, (they happen to be one of the funniest, kindest and most temperamental ones I ever came across and they understand how to celebrate life and death!) At first, we only see what Ernesto can do without knowing anything just yet. I was blown! Let me get this down, he's a musícan with a inrcedible voice (I have an opera education background so I connect to his trained voice), he's a actor, a showman, he's a phenomenal horseback rider and he's handsome! I don't need to tell you about the punch in the guts you end up having later!

Oh, yes! Something I would say! Seriously! I do act like that whenever I am burning for something! *cough* snowflakes quite recently! It was late and my boss only had 1 client left and it started snowing big flakes and I went full child excited mood "think Ernesto and fireworks" until they hit me with their "Augh, snow! Cold, wet, annoying!" And then I literally turned into this cinematic drama queen telling them about nostalgia and the spirit of christmas! *laugh* Their faces 😆 Bah humbug! Truly!

Can you imagine Ernesto in the role of Ebenezer Scrooge? I can! 😆 Héctor, Ceci and Imelda as the 3 spirits of christmas. Yes sir! I want that for christmas! *cough* aaand I'm rambling! I was talking about my book ... yes ... back to that!

Anyway! Moving on! I've told you before that as an INFP personality it's in my nature anyway to think and feel myself deeper into things (whatever they are) and I need about 2 or 3 rows to analyze and solidifying my opinion. That's what happened with Ernesto. Yes, at first I was "heck this guy!" Mildly said, I did not like Ernesto. One. Bit. I was mad and I, for the first few moments, labled him as a villain too! But then I rewatched and rewatched and rewatched Coco and I analyzed Ernesto. And after I went "wait a dang minute!" I realized, no, this man is certainly not your typical "Bad guy!" And after my Dad "an ex-soldier and chef prison guard" confirmed my analysis, I started researching and studying on human behavior, trauma (PTSD) and especially psyche! Now, I wanted to do this anyway because of Héctor and Imelda but it played into my hands with Ernesto. But it also flipped my whole opinion of him. It is a canon fact, that Héctor and Ernesto grew up together and were like brothers to each other and I had the statement, that Ernesto isn't proud of what he's done. Oh boy did that flip tables for me! Because guess what! A true villian is evil, period. You don't go thinking about any redemption because they are that far gone! And a truly rotten, evil soul does not regret their actions or deeds, they are perfectly fine and content with them. I would love to share my whole Sherlock Holmes 🔎 action I did on Ernesto with you but I can't because that would def. spoil everything that is to come!

Ok, this whole Ernesto case has changed and impacted my book! And not only that. The longer I wrote, I got back my grammar and writing skills (after not truly writing for years!) I improved and only after months and then going back to the first half of my book, I realized that many things weren't the way I wanted them anymore. The plot was now solid (wasn't at first) some age/timeline aspects changed! I tweaked some things! Grammar too. And that means I will need to go over my whole first bunch of chapters eventually!

Now I really know where my book is heading! From beginning to end! I now have the silver lining! That also means, the Title of my book has changed! But I will change it in time, not just yet!

The thing with Ceci 👓

Honestly, when I first included Ceci in my book, I, just like with many things, as I mentioned, had no idea what to do with her! I knew I wanted her in, because of that one scene! She instantly had me with her sassy attitude. And since it was pretty clear that she and Héctor knew each other and that she's been helping him not only once, I knew that there had to be a connection. And so I went with it. But that was still raw and not well thought through. That came fairly quickly though! And by now, Ceci is, next to Imelda one of the main characters! She plays a big role and she will be very important for the future!

My Book - Not just any other Fanfic

I know that everyone has their own opinion, view of things and headcanons. This is mine! But while it is my headcanon, I had the goal from the moment I sat down and decided "I'm going to do this!" To make my book feel as canon as possible. I knew I didn't just want to create yet another "great" fanfiction, I wanted to create something that is way more than just that. Something that could give huge Coco fans like me something back. Something that has an impact, something that shares what I have in my heart at least a little! I wanted to do something that hasn't been done before! And for once, I dedicated myself to it, no matter how long it will take, I will finish it! Oof, didn't that sound like something Héctor would say?

This thing has become my baby! 😂

I wanted to stay "true" to each character, stay in line and make readers go "yep, that's how it all happened" I wanted the characters to stay real and authentic. I didn't want to change them or make them do things that would fall out of their character. I knew I wanted my book to circle around Héctor mainly but the longer I worked on it, the more I understood that Ernesto, Ceci and Imelda are just as much of a part of Héctor! And developing their story, they became a huge part.

I wanted and still want to bring emotions across as if you'd feel them! I also knew and now I know even more, that my book is "in no way" for children! It is in everyway for us adults, for teens at least! Because I go deeper and touch on topics that are scary, painful, harsh and dark. You'll see that even more in chapters to come!

Conclusion ❗️

Since it's a real book I am working on, I realized that it is pretty normal that some chapters take weeks, sometimes even months to write. I understood that it's ok to take my time! And if it ends up taking me 2 or 3 years to finish it. I stopped feeling guilty when I cannot post new content fast enough because it just takes a lot of time and effort. And besides my passions, life happens and continues. Work happens to be exhausting sometimes, not all weekends end up being a free-time for me. And there are family gatherings, normal things to do, as plain as grocery shopping. And recently, christmas. But I appreciate every time I get to work on my book and my art!

-

So, yes, I had to get to this conclution on my own. While it is clear for others. And that has everything to do with my personality. I love pleasing people and making people happy. And by all means, I love love love what I do! If I could I would double my arms and work on more tings faster! Sometimes I wish I could stay home and work on my hobbies only but that isn't going to happen for me.

So at that point. I want to say "Thank you!" AGAIN! For all you guys who have been sticking around so far! For all the kind words! I hope you'll stick around for the next year/years to come and keep Coco alive!

🌼 Coco is timeless 🌼

It is so much more than just bringing across a deep important message! It has earned itself a very special place in my heart! It has caused me to pick up writing again, and it made me pick up my guitar and finally learn it! I will finish telling Héctor's story! And Ernesto's along with it! And I am no longer scared if some might end up hating it or calling me crazy for it! Because, like Héctor said, then I am, un poco loco! And I want to be nothing else!

🌹🦩 pinks, golds, and me getting into trouble. Well ... kinda ~ /me and the squad.

~ Or, I designed Ernesto a charro suit in my fav. Colors with my fav. Flower, the rose. (Reference to my birthday)

Imelda "Urgh! Look at him go! Now he's got her as well!"

Ceci "I wonder who's got who, actually. Wasn't it her idea to dress him like that? Hasn't she got him on that first then?"

Imelda "Well sí, but look what he's doing, he is smothering her in his, blergh, charm!"

Ceci "I think he is just being genuinly nice!"

Imelda "He is giving her the grin!"

Ceci "He knows he is making her happy by wearing her favourite color. That's sweet isn't it?"

Imelda "Yes, obviously, but he also enjoys her raving! If he's gonna wink at her now I gonna barf!"

Ceci "He does look good in those pinks though!"

Imelda "...."

Héctor "Oye! What about me? Why didn't she give me a new charro suit? Wasn't she my biggest fan?"

Imelda "Ah, ah, mi vida! She said both of us!"

Ceci "Excuse me interrupting but she said I'm her favourite seamstress!"

Ernesto "Oye, you guys jealous or something?"
