Julieta Madrigal - Blog Posts
I really enjoy connecting music with characters and I feel like this song (All That Matters by Casey Lee Williams & Jeff Williams) fits well for Pepa and Julieta’s feelings towards Bruno disappearing and coming back.
For me, I think “All That Matters”(https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CSQ8onIioiE) is about someone who is angry with a loved one for disappearing without a word, but still loves them.
These lyrics remind me of Julieta and Pepa not caring about their issues in their relationship with Bruno and are just happy to have him back.
“You're lost, you're found
You're hard to pin down
I never know if you'll come through
Then you appear
Together we're here
And that's all that matters
Somehow”
These lyrics are mostly based on a theory I have. I think Julieta tried to help and connect with Bruno but couldn’t and has regrets for failing after he disappears.
“Thought that I could pull you from the shadows
Maybe help you find your wings and fly
But you're a path the longer that I travel
The more I'm just defeated
My past mistakes repeated
I'll risk it once again to have you near my side
Another chance to let you just destroy my pride”
Hope you guys like my mini analysis! Let me know your thoughts. 😁
she takes after you too gus
i love them

SPOILERS AHEAD KINDA
I made a list of HCs that start up after my fic Hermanito on ao3 (It's a Hurt/Comfort one shot, go ahead n check it out if you'd like!)
Practically all of the HCs are centered around mainly Bruno due to the fic, and how the family interacts with him
I'll be updating this list whenever I think of new ones so don't be afraid to revisit this list from time to time :>

__________________________________________
-Antonio's leopard stuffy definitely ends up becoming Bruno's, much to the kid's amusement- and Bruno doesn't even realize it. He goes to bed and always wakes up with it in his arms (Antonio's animal friends always help him sneak the stuffy into Bruno's room, Dolores chips in by always letting Antonio know when Bruno needs the stuffed leopard to help him sleep better)
- After the courtyard incedent the entire family becomes a bit clingy, almost overbearingly so- even Casita. Though the quiter kids like Dolores and Louisa usually know when Bruno wants company without conversation, which they're cool with.
- Mira and Julieta bake Bruno's favorite sweets and pass "emergency" packs of them out to everyone in the family each morning before they start their busy days so if anyone notices his mood slipping they can stop what they're doing to give him a snack n lift his day a bit
- The first time a villager badmouths Bruno its on his own birthday, and it happens in front of the entire family. Unexpectedly, out of literally anyone it could have been, its the normally easy-going brother-in-law duo Felix and Augustin that get in the villagers face n threaten to make their kneecaps work backwards for daring to threaten their Hermanito (They have never in all the time theyve known him ever called him that before and Bruno nearly cries because holy shit he has brothers now-)
- Julieta nearly joined her husband and brother in law but decided it was a far better view to watch her love get so riled up and protective (One of the many reasons she loves him) She instead makes sure no one else joins and interrupts the brother-in-laws absolutely verbally destroying the villager who upset Bruno
- Isa learns what his favorite plants are and one day while the other members of the family are dragging him around town to socialize she sneaks into his room (the old guest room) and that night when he goes in his room hes greeting with the sight of the plain looking room being covered in all his favorite plants in pots and flowing out his window, Casita using the wooden window covers to wave at him. (He cries. A lot. Who wouldnt?)
- He follows Louisa around sometimes when shes running errands and tries to help- (and she lets him sometimes- passing him the smallest ((and sometimes, empty-)) bags when she hauls large carts of grain bags, passing him the reigns of the sweetest most gentle n loving donkey among the large group that has managed to escape the pen again, passing him stones the size of about a football when shes moving large boulders, etc). Despite what one would normally assume he doesn't miss the fact that she's sort of babying him, but he never says anything because he knows it's a big step for her to let anyone help at all- so he simply pays her back by making sure she drinks plenty of water and fussing over any scraps or bruises she gets from overworking herself
- Bruno becomes a sort of secondary Doctor due to the fact he's started to constantly carry around a pack full of water and some of Julieta's cooking whenever he heads to town with anyone in the family
- Augustin and Felix discover in the most amusing way possible that Bruno has the lowest alcohol tolerance known to man (it was during a celebration of some kind, they cheerfuly challenged him to a friendly drinking match- he made it maybe 5 sips in and was immediatly done for. Everyone at the party silently vowed to protect him with their lives when they witnessed him talking to someone about his incredible nieces & nephews n he immediatly started to cry over how amazing and adorable they all were and theyd all grown up so strong "You don't understand Julian, theyre the best, my god I'm so proud of them-")
- Him n Alma sit down to have tea together on Wednesdays and Sundays, quietly chatting about anything that comes to mind. Sometimes other members of the family join them, but on days where its just them they get to slowly heal their broken bond. Alma works on her patience n fear, Bruno works on his communication and anxiety
- Camilo plays pranks on anyone who insults Bruno behind his back- his pranks can sometimes dance the line between fun and cruelty though when it comes to the folks that dare insult Bruno to the mans own face (The first time he witnessed such an event, the crestfallen look on his tio's face made the weight of his own words hit him even harder, guilt over the comments he'd made about him during the song sung to Mira clouding his heart until he decides to go after the villager he'd seen insult the ex-wall hermit. He felt a lot better after and hasnt stopped since)
- The family have daily cuddle nights where they gather up a bunch of blankets n pillows n they just talk to eachother, helping eachother understand n communicate better.
One night when the younger kids are asleep, Bruno quietly opens up about how everyone's past behavior and his isolation has effected him- and once he starts, he cant stop, spilling every feeling of hurt thats ever hit his heart until all any of them can do is simply hold him and listen closely, giving him the aknowledgment and support he needs
- Sometimes when he's overwhelmed Bruno crawls back into his hole in the wall, though he usually warns someone before he does so there isn't panic over his disappearance. Over time he gradually works out of the habit, learning to talk to anyone in his family when he's struggling with things, though it takes years
- As Bruno starts to adjust to being around people again, his dry jokes become even dryer- Puns, dad jokes (tio jokes?), You name it-
He managed to get Pepa to snort over one of his oddly timed jokes once and nothing could take the smile off of his face for days afterwards
- Bruno sat Mariano down one day for a private conversation. The poor lad left the room paler than a sheet of paper, muttering about the color green and rats for a few days after, never explaining just what happened in that room ("Mi amor, your tio Bruno loves you, and if I ever piss him off just know I love you-")
Once he'd gotten over Bruno's terrifying hurt-her-theyll-never-find-you speech (Bruno eventually apologized, though when he shook Mariano's hand his grip was surprisingly strong) the two of them bonded surprisingly well over a joint love for writing poetry
Bruno's sacrifice au.
In this au the family flees much later in life when the triplets are around fourteen. Julieta is so sick she can't move or even open her eyes. Pepa has horrendous sunburns and is constantly crying from the pain. Alma isn't strong enough to carry them both and is begging Pedro to take the kids and run while he tries to carry them all.
And then Bruno does the unthinkable, he goes to the guards hands in the air, defenceless, only hoping to slow them down. The combined grief of his family and his sacrifice allow the miracle to happen and in this version gifts are much less doled out, Pedro believes his son died because the cowards of the village refused to help and insists that his daughters and later grandchildren only use them in exchange for profit and dislikes "giving handouts to the unworthy" He is extraordinary protective of Mirabel and built her her own room insisting she is a sign that the townsfolk are unworthy of the families help. It is only after they come together that Pedro acknowledges his grief and begins to befriend the others.
A family that kills together.
Mirabel, rushes in panicking. "On no on no no no no"
Augustin "Mijita what's wrong?"
Mirabel, sobbing "I messed up, I messed up so bad!"
Luisa "I'm on it just show me the body and I'll take care of it."
Mirabel "But.."
Pepa "Shh shh darling, Tia will wash away all the evidence."
Antonio, smiling, surround by pigs "Did you know my friends can consume every part of a human other than teeth and hair."
Isa, very matter of fact, "We can bury those in my room."
Dolores, slyly "From what I've been hearing this person was planning to leave the encanto in secret for awhile now."
Camilo, shifting into multiple people "And trust me, we can make that bealivable."
Julieta, reassuringly "And if anyone asks you with me all day helping make Gelatina Negra okey."
Felix, happily "But trust me no one will ask."
Bruno, simply "And if bad comes to worst pin the blame on me, I'm already old and hated, plus everyone thinks I killed that goldfish."
Mirabel "I didn't kill anyone! I accidentally broke a hole in Casita!"
Alma "Then get the spackle and stop forcing us to come up with plans on the spot."
(The ghost of Pedro is laughing his ass off.)
I’m still here and I have a strong need to yap
How many people are still in the Encanto fandom? Show of hands! (Cause it's kinda hard to find people, that I don't already know, that are still in the fandom)
PROSHIP DNI WITH THIS POST AND F*CK OFF!
~ LET IT RAIN ! I do believe that the young triplets used to support each other when they were struggling with their gifts… But Alma eventually lead them to repress their feelings and add more and more pressure on their shoulders with years passing.
fog is for hiding and rain is for jumping in puddles!!
behold, the Madrigal triplets!! ☀️⏳🩹
gotta love how young pepa is so full of energy, young julieta being calm and then here comes young bruno;; absolute PANIK
it's not their fault they were too busy helping the village to study

✨Encantober #17✨Miracle
Three younglings hatching from a single egg is a Miracle.
Pepa of the Flame is fierce and feared. She knows the names of not less than seven elemental spirits. Cross with her and your house will be flooded, your crop will wither and your cattle will be hit by lightning on a sunny day.
Julieta the Healer is kind and wise. She cares for witches, animals and humans alike. Her knowledge of healing herbs and potent potions is unparalleled. (Some whisper she can even recover the dead, if offered the right reward.)
A male witch is a rarity, dreaded by humans and despised by their own kin. Bruno the Witcher disguises himself as a magician; you can find him on market squares, where he tells stories through colourful illusions. Be warned! He is said to have the inner eye - by mere touch he can see into your soul and read your fate.
(A witch-mother is expected to dispose of any male offsprings, but Alma the Moth couldn't lose her miracle and raised her three children in secret. When she was found out, the young witches fled together to the human's world.)
This has definitely been done before but I really wanted to do it too.
Big F for Pepa‘s arepa tho
If Julieta Madrigal can heal anything, then why does Mirabel and Agustín use glasses?

Hello, I'm back. I apologize for not posting in the past couple of months due to a shortage of uploads. Originally, I was going to post more in 2022, but I got sidetracked. I was finishing up other projects, which took me a few or more months to complete. (Some of them have already been finished.) and I haven’t been unable to upload ever since. Hopefully, I won't make that mistake again this year, so more artwork is on the way. I want to thank you, everyone, for the support of my Encanto artworks during my absence. It’s not much, but it’s something to share. Happy Chinese New Year, and have a wonderful day. :)
The triplets names are literally pb&j (peanut butter and jelly)
au where at some point before canon camilo notices abuela being mean to mirabel and is like oh you're mad mirabel didn't get a gift? *shape shifts* were both mirabel. im mirabel two now. good luck telling us apart.
the first week he adults are like haha very funny. the second week abuela is like stop this nonsense and use your gift properly to help people. camilo doubles down on his helping mirabel is helping people policy and mirabel starts answering to camilos name to help the subterfuge.
week three, camilo has explained to julietta, and operation "two giftless mirabels" has pepa start snapping back at alma because there's a fifty fifty chance that whichever kid her mom was just mean to was hers.
the other kids start noticing that camilo doesn't have to do chores with his powers because no one knows which one is camilo. this, they decide, isn't fair. camilo explains that he would be helping around town as mirabel, but no one is letting mirabel help because no powers. luisa and dolores think this is dumb, and isabela wants to see where this goes. they stage a mutiny. none of the madrigal younger generation will do magic chores now. they still help around town, but with things they are arguably not very good at.
”luisa can you pen the donkeys?"
"oh no, were on strike until mirabel has equal rights. I can send isabela to do it, though."
"dolores can you tell me how far out my husband is from town?"
dolores can both hear and guesstimate distance. she spends an hour and a half going to where said husband is and comes back to report how many steps that was/ how long it took her. "probably less now because I had to come back."
alma: julieta you cannot possibly approve.
julieta: they're broadening their horizons and standing up for their family
alma: ...who is cooking dinner, julieta.
*several loud crashes and the smell of smoke make it evident that agustine is currently running the kitchen*
julieta: my wonderful husband volunteered to give me a break for the evening
it doesn't take a full month for alma to throw up her hands and let the kids organize themselves if they're so determined to undermine her. it takes less than two weeks after that for camilo to start being camilo again
