I was watching Descendants 5 and at one point Luis Madrigal mentions that he has 17 cousins, and I assure you that at least 5 of those kids are Mariano and Dolores's children. And nobody's going to change my mind.

As much as I love the potential of Maui and Luisa hooking up together to have Luis as their kid, I do admit that ultimately, it would make 10 times more sense if Luis was Dolores and Mariano's kid than directly Luisa's.
Luis is both a hunk and a love interest character, which matches, considering Mariano is also a hunk and a love interest character who happens to be a romantic, according to Dolores.
In Latine families, it makes perfect sense to name kids after relatives like grandparents, uncles and aunts, parents, cousins, siblings, etc. It's not exactly that uncommon, so Luis being named after Luisa would track, as Luisa would be seen as a great role model. Furthermore, expecting him to be even more like Luisa once he has a gift that is just like hers (and Luisa's lessons kind of no longer applying since she's not exactly the one to continue the cycle and it could fly over Dolores and Mariano's heads as they weren't really there for Luisa's character development even if Dolores most likely heard them).
Usage of yellow makes sense on Pepa's side of family, even though I'm pretty sure Mariano and Dolores's family would utilise more shades of red but I digress.
Luis could still be addressed as Luisa's nephew first and foremost to uphold the tradition of Descendants of giving basic names to Descendants in question.
Now that I watched Encanto again I can’t stop thinking about these two comparisons it’s killing me😭

Isabela saying she doesn’t actually want to marry Mariano and is just doing it for the family will never not haunt me!!!!

@kabishkat19 thanks for the lovely commission!

Despite the drama of years ago, Isabela and Dolores are very close.
Isa is still hesitant to talk about Mirabel for objecting at her wedding with Mariano since it was Alma's wish, but deep down she is very grateful that she did (Isabela was the favorite granddaughter for possessing a powerful gift; while no matter how hard Dolores tried to look perfect or meet her standards, it was never enough for her grandmother).
After some events, Mariano and Dolores got to know each other better, and they fell in love.
