MOVIE RANT BELOW YOU CAN IGNORE ME LOL JUST IN MY FEELS OK

My favorite wenclair take is that once Wednesday starts dating Enid the simp gene she inherited from Gomez just like ACTIVATES.

Like people notice that she starts smiling more and while it is extremely unsettling and makes their skin crawl every time they see it, they realize that it only ever happens when Enid is within a five foot radius of Wednesday. Enid so much as makes eye contact with her and the room just drops 10 degrees and Wednesday just has this crazed look on her face, everyone thinks somethings wrong with her, and Enids just like "Aw, babe, you have a beautiful smile!"

People also notice that Wednesday will do absolutely whatever Enid tells her to. Put on these cat ears for a costume? Yes, of course. Let Thing out of the drawer even though I'm mad at him? I can't say no to you. Wear the snoods? Whatever you want.

She would kill for her and die for her and literally everyone knows it at this point.

Bonus:

Wednesday catches herself calling Enid "Cara Mia" and it struck with the horrifying realization of

"oh no, I've become my father."

Encanto's indigenous identity and why it is so important; thread

First of all, I will make it clear that I am a latino indigenous person. Afro-native brazilian tupinambá with also unknown indigenous descent on the mother's side.

And everything from this thread was used movie sources, links at the end of it.

Whenever I say that Encanto and the Madrigals are indigenous, someone always comes to say: "But it's in Colombia, they're not really indigenous, they're "mestizos".

well, yes, so what?

mixed indigenous people exists and that does not make them any less indigenous.

Or say: "oh, it's just Bruno", "it's just Alma y Pedro", "it's just Isabela" - No. It's the whole family AND the whole village.

The only ones that probably not indigenous is Agustín y Félix, and any person who came to live in Encanto, and didn't born there.

Starting with many Zenús crafts in the film, not only that, but with a Zenú artisans person himself participating and guiding designers every step of the way to create an authentic representation of Zenú crafts:

Also, the film's producers works with six different Indigenous communities across Colombia to promote the vitality of Indigenous arts including woven bags, hats, and ceramic.

And speak of bags and clothes, there all was inspired by Wayúu crafts:

Now, about the plot of the movie, the miracle has a sacred meaning. But the concept of the miracle does not come from something christian or from fairy tales.

"Magical realism does not consist of taking gratuitous magic and putting it in the context of a jungle" - Espinosa

“I don’t invent anything, I’ve seen it all or I’ve been told about it.” - also said señora Espinosa

The miracles it's not an imagined idea, it's a belief.

It came from earth, it can be given by God or Gods, but it's a natural sacred.

Also, the miracle canonically come from the river:

Now

We gonna talk about Bruno

yes, yes, YES!

"The indigenous people are there, they have been made invisible and nobody talks about them, but they are the sacred part of Colombia. It has become fundamental to understand this, and it is very well-represented in Bruno” - Espinosa

Bruno is very superstitious.

Throwing salt or sugar, not touching or stepping on cracks, knocking on wood, reciting mantras such as "sana, sana, colita de rana"

It is very common for us indigenous people to be superstitious and doing this kind of thing protects us from evil.

Second, Bruno's room inspired on the precolumbian tombs of Tierradentro.

Bruno's room it's a thing, huh?

Knows as the place where you go to see your future, it's literally a sacred tomb, with many indigenous factors, and I believe that the only place Bruno had his visions before get destroyed by Mirabel.

And speaks in visions, Bruno do a whole shamanic ritual to have his.

Making a circle of sand, protecting himself with salt and burning four piles of leaves every time before having a new vision.

It's just the traditional and the sacred of a Shaman.

Now, why?

Why all those things matter?

Why not just watch the movie?

Well, I never had indigenous latin representation before.

This is the first time i see characters who look so much like me, and I could, even that's not my country, see so much of my culture there.

And of course I am not the only one.

The Madrigals and Encanto are indigenous, and the fact there so many mixed people in the film is the best part, I love this movie beside some "low spots" they have. This still one of my best representation in media.

Indigenous Artisans behind Disney’s Next Hit Animated Film

Happy Pride!

Whenever a person walks out of the accessible bathroom stall and sees me, a wheelchair user, sitting outside waiting for the stall, they often apologize.

In the beginning, I said, "No worries!" Because I was too scared to be confrontational.

Then I started saying nothing.

But after a while, I realized that some disabled people may be a portion of the people that apologize. And I never want to make an invisibly disabled person feel bad for using accommodations that they need. There are many different reasons a disabled person would need the stall!

(It is tiring waiting for ages while someone uses the stall to change, or do their makeup. It is not annoying for anyone who needs the stall to use it.)

So, I've decided to start saying, "That's okay! I believe every disabled person should be able to use the accessible stall!"

Because then, if they are invisibly disabled, hopefully that will put them at ease.

And if the person isn't disabled, it will remind them that the accessible stall is not just "the big stall."

(that is love)

that one fucking concept art of the dragon age races that depicts dwarves like this:

Good morning! I’m salty.

I think we, as a general community, need to start taking this little moment more seriously.

This, right here? This is asking for consent. It’s a legal necessity, yes, but it is also you, the reader, actively consenting to see adult content; and in doing so, saying that you are of an age to see it, and that you’re emotionally capable of handling it.

You find the content you find behind this warning disgusting, horrifying, upsetting, triggering? You consented. You said you could handle it, and you were able to back out at any time. You take responsibility for yourself when you click through this, and so long as the creator used warnings and tags correctly, you bear full responsibility for its impact on you.

“Children are going to lie about their age” is probably true, but that’s the problem of them and the people who are responsible for them, not the people that they lie to.

If you’re not prepared to see adult content, created by and for adults, don’t fucking click through this. And if you do, for all that’s holy, don’t blame anyone else for it.
