Seeing Young Alicent Holding Her Babies Will Never Not Make Me Emotionally Devastated. Because Look At

Seeing young Alicent holding her babies will never not make me emotionally devastated. Because look at her.

She’s so small. So young. Her small frame is swallowed by her infant children. You can actually see how truly young she is in these moments. She’s just a child forced to be a mother. And she does it dutifully though she’s unprepared. Bouncing and holding her children to love and comfort them as best she can

And in these moments you can see how worn out she is. She’s tired and alone. Her eyes are sad and dull and she looks into nothing as if she’s dissociating and seeking comfort away from reality.

She’s a shadow of the girl she used to be. A girl who used to laugh and smile and dream. And it was all stripped away from her to satisfy men much older and powerful than her.

And despite it all. She loves her children. She protects them and fights for them. She’s just a child forced to have children and care for them alone. And it’s so sad because she deserved so much more. She deserved to be a girl for longer. To find love and peace and joy. And she deserved to find motherhood in her own time. But she didn’t.

And I’ll never get over it.

accidentally deleted the ask (idk either its-) but anon requested

"lin and wing and wei bonding over pro bending/athletics"

- after the red lotus attack in zaofu wing and wei realized o shit aunt lin is pretty cool

- theyd want to learn about how she uses the cables and her fighting style

- them trying to ask her would have gone like "you go" "no you go" "no im scared you do it" "it was your idea just go ask her"

- lin did Not expect them to talk to her or anything bc "su's kids?? liking me?? huh???"

- she really liked it though bc they were less like su and more like the krew (who she loves, she smiled at them so its canon)

- su was pretty surprised when she saw them sitting around the radio listening to a pro bending match (she really didnt think lin would bother getting to know her kids)

- lin 100% yells during sports and so do wing and wei, so it took a minute to realize they were having fun and not just screaming insults at each other

- they never asked about the scars or su, which lin was very relieved about

- lin liked talking to wing and wei about pro bending bc they knew a lot about the strategy and had really good ideas on how to improve it, which she thought was really interesting

Less “Abuela Alma would be homophobic and unsupportive” HCs more “Abuela Alma would be confused but has the spirit” HCs

Alma, who has been attracted to one person and one person only for 50 years: That young lady in the market today had a lovely… head.

Isabela, trying not to crack up: Thanks, Abuela.

encanto spoilers

headcanon that Alma took Bruno's plate a couple days after he "leaves", keeping it as close as possible to the miracle candle, and she just prays.

she prays hard.

pleading with the candle to bleed its wax unto it so that it may bless her with just one more miracle.

to return her son. or at the very least, to keep him from harms way.

because honestly?

I fully believe Alma's dreams are still plagued with men of marring flame and bloodied blades.

It's just only this time, and every restless night for the next ten years, she cannot tell you if it is Pedro she sees, or Bruno she hears — quiet as the stagnant waters rushing from her ears — slipping further and further from the woman, her sons steps echoing that of his fathers, going where she cannot.

she wears her shawl a little tighter those days.

---

her head is truly eleven pounds, and her heart breaks a little more as time winds itself from months to years. But she does not talk about Bruno. No. And she tries not to wonder where he may have gone. She knows he's safe. He has to be.

Though she still keeps his plate, inside an unassuming nightstand with a little bit of sand and salt. (maybe a little bit of sugar too.) a part of herself, she supposes, still waiting on a miracle of her own.
