And idk if I’m overthinking this but I noticed Alma seems to have diff expectations for each of her grandchildren depending on which parent they came from HEAR ME OUT
So with how Alma treats Pepa I imagine she’s always telling her to “control herself” or remind her abt her clouds and etc
that makes me wonder that Alma doesnt favor Pepa as much as Julieta since Pepa’s gift seems so “destructive”
Julieta meanwhile seemingly has the most “useful” gift (at least objectively) because yk.. SHE HEALS PEOPLE WITH FOOD (imo thats an eternal youth fountain right there I’d say unless it has limits)
so I feel like Alma associates Julieta’s kids with that same expectation to contribute to the family
Luisa is literally the strongest and always helping around
Isabella is the oldest and the poster child of the next generation (community muse?)
hence why Mirabel not getting a gift feels so huge because Mirabel is not living up to her Mother’s reputation
I also noticed that with Pepa’s kids Alma doesnt seem to put as much pressure on them because they seemingly have the most “useless” gifts (not saying theyre actually useless tho)
Dolores just has super hearing
Camilo can shapeshift
And Antonio can speak to animals
While those skills can help around the community
I think thanks to them being Pepa’s kids it led to Alma subconsciously not paying that much attention to them since she doesnt associate Pepa with as much importance as Julieta
Julieta was definitley the favorite triplet lets be fr 💀
If theres an AU where Pepa and Bruno switched story roles- I’d say nothing would be super different
IS IT JUST ME WHO NOTICED THIS GUYS BECAUSW IM WONDERING IF IM LOOKING TOO MUCH INTO IT
I just think it would have been funny if Bruno’s gift had turned out to not be prophecy related at all he was just observant and had common sense and everyone internalized it.
Bruno: hey it’s really not healthy for a goldfish to live in a bowl that small it’s gonna die
Bruno: hey if you keep eating like that you’re gonna gain some weight
Bruno: it looks like you might be balding
The Town:
Meanwhile Bruno’s real gift is like dancing or something

Can you do some headcanons of Camilo as a father/with pregnant reader?
Adult!Camilo caring for his pregnant woman
*-*-*
- He would be ecstatic ! Camilo adored you so much and the thought of creating the fruit of love made him love you even more than he thought possible.
- He would not care much about the baby's gender, tho I can see him as being the best girl dad ever.
- As much as he hoped you would escape it, he had to help you through the morning sickness. Holding your hair back, rubbing soothing circles on your skin as patiently waited by your side.
- Of course Camilo becomes protective of you, even tho he knows Casita won't let anything within the walls and the village was fairly, he couldn't help it.
- Especially when the danger came from yourself. Your sweet, determined self. Once you tried to carry a vaguely heavy bag upstairs, you swore you never saw your husband rush to you so quickly. Don't scare him like that, amore !
- When the cravings came in, he wasn't ready. He loved you, but how could live with himself now that he made a sugary arepa, filled with chocolate and pineapple. Its the price you pay for love I'm afraid.
- Honestly, Camilo would struggle to get up in the middle of the night to cook for you but your growing bump reminds him it was his doing, so his responsability.
- He really uphold to that. His father raised him well after all, always take care of your woman. And thats what he did.
- He rubbed your swollen feet anytime they hurt. Camilo will spend as much time as needed massaging your back and shouders, peppering your skin with little kisses.
- Camilo was extremly careful to be gentle when he rubbed the oil over your stretching belly, to prevent the scars. Though, they never bothered him, he loved ever part of you, no matter how much it morphed and change over your shared life.
-Each time you got emotional you always find solace in his arms. No judgment, sometimes not even talking. Camilo just wanted to make you knew he was there for you, that you didn't to worry about anything cause he would love you through night and day.
- And what do you mean you felt ugly ? Where did your pretty, precious head could get such ideas ? How could such a magnificent creature such as yourself believe ridiculous ideas.
- "Querida look at me..." He said gently, tilting his head to meet your eyes as you both sat on your bed. Despite your soft sniffles you turned your head toward him as you tried your best to minimize your weight gain.
- He smiled tenderly, caressing the soft flesh of your side. "Can ask you something, amore ?" After you gave him a soft nod, he leaned in and kissed your neck ever so lightly.
- "Can I make love to you ? Show you how absolutely breathtaking you are..." He muttered against your skin, nipping ever so gently, giving you room to turn him down. But you didn't, and you felt so much better after, sated and loved.
- You two slept together a lot during your pregnancy; for relief, pleasure and love. Especially during the fourth month, those hormones your horniest ovulation period.
- When he came to baby names, Camilo suggested some things but in the end, the choice was all yours. It was the least he could do for his beautiful woman. Yes, he would chase Abuela away so you can choose the perfect name without any pressure.
- He talked to your baby all the time, especially after a long day. Camilo told jokes, half expectedly to feel the baby respond. And they did ! The first kick you felt in your belly was when your husband made the lousiest joke.
- In consequence, anytime Camilo wanted to feel his precious baby, you would have the suffer the worst jokes. At least it saved you any worry from the lack of movement.
- And, the cherry on top of the cake, your loving curly haired husband would lift your belly up from behind to relieve you from the weight whenever he had enough time, drawing deep hums from you.
- Overall, Camilo will take extra care of you, making sure you took your perinatal vitamins and had the proprer food to stay healthy. He installed any furniture you wanted, read- who am I kidding, listened to you read him every book about bith and parenthood.
- He was ready for birth, like a soldier ready for his mission. The baby clothes were ready, your space was too, comfortable and clean ; the food you were not allowed to eat during the pregnancy was neatly prepared and he had full bottles of coffee ready to stay awake all night by your side.
- He was ready ! ... Or at least he appeared so right before he saw your water break. The key was to remain calm they said...
