October can’t come soon enough

You're pretty rad! ❤ Send this to 5 bloggers you also think are rad!

(You don't have to, but it's good to let people know you care 😁)

Thank you so much Anon!

Thanks for answering my question! Or maybe she just needs a really, REALLY sweet person who would assure her he would never hurt her that way.

That could work too. But she’d probably at least need to know a bit about this person's background. And maybe know some other people who mutually know this person and believe the person is a good person, to confirm that they are naturally sweet and not artificially sweet.

Do you think Carla would ever style her hair differently from her usual hairstyle? (Personally I think she will ☺)

Yes of course! I'm sure she'd experiment with different hairstyles, especially during different festivals now that her life will be a bit more relaxed (And technically she already has tried out a different hairstyle when she was Rita, but that seemed to be more the potions doing anything else).

As for what style she might try... well she'd probably still use a lot of ribbons in her hair, because those seem to be part of her style. But maybe a style where her hair is down a bit more? (Or if Elena is going always wear her hair up now that she's queen she could always try the single ponytail look).

I like your thoughts! No matter who somebody ships Carla with, she literally saw the unfolding of terrible, toxic relationship between her own parents. I think it’s an interesting topic to explore how bearing witnesses to the disastrous relationship between her own parents would effect her. There are various ways in which a child witnessing a toxic or abusive relationship might effect them when getting into a relationship. And she was 18-19 years old, old enough to understand what was going on.

Yes exactly! Even though Victor and Ash faked a ‘good’ relationship whenever she was around (for her sake), I feel like she started to catch on near the end of it. And she was really distressed when she saw how reluctant Ash was to actually go back to free him. Who knows if Victor actually admitted that they were having relationship troubles when he and Carla were briefly held in the dungeon together, but either way no one was expecting what happened in ‘The Magic Within.’

Now we don't know what their relationship was like before Ash went off to malvago training, but it's implied that it was okay beforehand. Even so, that wouldn't make up for how it crashed and burned in the end.

In short, I feel like Carla would need some time (and therapy) before she was ready for her own romantic relationship.

What do you headcanon for Carla's full name? I headcanon that her full name is Carla Elizabeth Rahela Delgado, (I headcanon that Victor's mother's ancestry was from a Romanian speaking kingdom, & the name Rahela is originally Romanian). What di you think?

That's a nice headcannon. I always think it's cool when people have two middle names instead of just one. What inspired you to choose the name Elizabeth though? It's a really nice name, I only wonder why you chose it specifically?

Elena of Avalor Appreciation Week 2021: Chaos

Because what's more chaotic than getting turned into a tiny little feathery bunny? Or maybe I just wanted  an excuse to draw her, who knows?

I already asked this, but I'm not sure that you saw it. I asked you who do you ship with Carla?

Actually this is the first time you posted this question in my inbox. I guess Tumblr just ate the first one, typical Tumblr. This is a bit of a complex question so I'll have to get a long answer.

-I'm pretty neutral about shipping her with Gabe or Mateo*. Whenever I see a piece of content for one of those ships I'm just like “okay that's nice.” Don't get me wrong, I think she could theoretically get into a good romantic relationship with either of them over time, but I'm personally not invested in her getting together with either of them. But I do think that people are definitely allowed to ship them together if they want. (*Even though I'm more of a Rafictor shipper personally, I'm totally fine with people shipping Carla and Mateo romanticly, as long as it's not at the same time in the same story then there's zero problem with it).

-I have read a certain FanFic where she is shipped with an OC and I definitely ship them together in that because the way the author unfolds their relationship it's just really sweet.

-Occasionally I've seen people ship her with Antonia and it's a really sweet ship. After Coronation Day came out I ship Antonia a lot more with Ixlan, but it's still a cute ship.

-There is one side character in the show I think would be absolutely adorable with Carla but no one's ever really mentioned it before other than my own brain from what I've seen, so unless I actually write something for it I think I'll just keep it under wraps for now.

But to me the most important thing about shipping someone with Carla isn't the exact person, but that person is a good person. Because the most important thing is that she finds someone who she can get to know and truly trust before she gets a serious relationship with them (considering what happened to her parents).

Hello! I just read your fic, “Royal Hospitality”, and I want to say, I loved it. I was going to leave a comment, but I wanted to address you personally. As usual, it was so well written. Everyone is perfectly in character, that I could easily see it happening in the show! I always get that feeling when reading your fics:) But I have to admit, I have a special place in my heart for Victor’s diolouge with Esteban. The irony. I also loved how Victor was able to connect with Joaquin as a father.

Thank you so much, I'm honoured! :) 💜

Funny you mention it because Esteban and Victor's conversation with each other was actually one of the hardest, yet most fun parts of the fic to write. The whole time writing it I was going back and forth between “Is this going too far?” and “Is this not going far enough?” So I'm really glad you liked it.

@a-lilacsong

Happy birthday, Lilac!! I hope you're having a great day today!

Once I thought to myself: "How would King Pescoro travel around on land? Probably with a superchair." So I made this. Cristina is showing him how to use it.

All right so I have not been very active on Tumblr lately, but I have been working on some stuff that I think you'll enjoy that I'm planning on posting soon-ish.

But in the meantime if anyone wants to ask me any questions about any of my Elena of Avalor headcanons, opinions, and theories, my ask box is open.

The Chaos Codex of Ultimate Doom was such a delight to read! But do you think you'll write a story in which Esteban and Victor interact post-Coronation Day?

Thank you very much, I'm so glad you liked it! ❤

I hope I will! I like both of them individually and really enjoy their dynamics when they're together. Plus, I’ve always wanted to see how they would react to being on the same side once again.

I'm finishing up a few other fics at the moment (one of which will have them interacting a bit ON Coronation Day), but once those are done I definitely want to write one!

antonia bello (pspsps) for @a-lilacsong! ⚔️✨

Here's a commission I recently did for my friend @a-lilacsong

Thank you so much for being the first person to purchase a commission for me! I really appreciate it :)

What are the friendliest EoA blogs to interact with? I’m kinda new and I don’t know who to ask. And you seemed very nice

Hello! Thank you so much for the ask!!

There are actually not a lot of active blogs, and they're not solely the EoA ones, but I would highly recommend to look out for these blogs:

@ducksisthebest - the friendliest person and my bestie who is very nice and fun to talk to! She's also a fantastic artist and writer!!

@its-just-a-dream - she's an amazing person who is very kind to everyone and is an artist who, honestly, always makes fun and beautiful drawings 💖

@a-lilacsong - she's very kind, smart, and talented person! She also got lots of interesting thoughts about EoA, so you would always have the topic to discuss with her! And she's a wonderful artist and writer

@cartoonfangirl1218 - one of my close friends, and she's a very versatile person who watched lots of different series, so I'm sure you would be fascinated to chat with her! And she's also a writer, and the great one, if you ask me!

@tenapricots - we met pretty recently, but so far, I can say she's a very interesting person to talk to! And she also draws and she does it wonderfully!

@dittomander - okay, but she literally got the best analysis and thoughts about EoA, so you would like to discuss anything with her, I'm sure it would be truly fascinating! Her knowledge is very impressive <3 And don't forget to read her fics! You would be amazed!

@alldisneytangledfanlover - she's the sweetest person I know! She's a very supportive, caring, and kind person, and it's honestly a true pleasure to talk to her <3 She's also in Tangled fandom, so if you like this show, you would like her blog for sure! She makes beautiful edits and write very good fics!

All people that run these blogs are absolutely amazing, and I honestly would be very happy if you check these blogs out! And also, welcome to EoA fandom!! I hope you will have fun time here 🥰

I loved reading “The Choas Codex of Ultimate Doom”! It was so cute once you understand that these were Isabel, Esteban, Elena and Victor playing together as children! And I was just smirking at all the irony and foreshadowing. Little do those four children know just how many real, magical adventures they’ll all have together in the future. I hope you’ll write more young Flores cousins and Victor fics! They’re all just too cute!

Thank you so much! 💗

I'm glad you enjoyed the cuteness as well as the irony, it was fun to balance those out.

I do have a couple other ideas for possible childhood stories, so hopefully I'll get around to making those in the future.

When do you think Carla's birthday is? I headcannon that her birthday is on February 11

Nice headcanon! I guess I've always thought it would be somewhere between October 1st and before March 1st (Which is a time your headcanon would fall into). Although there's nothing in the show to indicate exactly when it could be.

Side note, I've always found it a bit peculiar that the EverRealm uses the Gregorian calendar to divide it's years. I can accept that they have the same kind of moon and the same type of sun as Earth while being in a completely different solar system. And it seems like Earth has influenced the EverRealm seeing that they do have models of Earth, and there are just so many things in EverRealm culture that seem like they would have had to have come from Earth. But the fact that they would decide to split up the year in the exact same way...I don't know, it just seems noticeably weird to me for some reason (Even if their years are still 365 days long).

Hi there! Who do you think Elena wanted to choose before chosing her grandfather to dance with her?

I think Francisco was her first choice from the beginning, and if she didn't choose Francisco she probably would have chosen Isabel or Luisa. (Or possibly Esteban, but I feel like she probably decided who she wanted to dance with long before she had forgiven him).

Being crowned was a very important moment for Elena and while she cares about both her friends and family, she just gave her friends job promotions, which means she'll probably get to see them all for work-related things. But she probably won't get to see her family quite as much being Queen, so it was quite a nice gesture dancing her Abuelo instead of one of them

And even if none of her family members were there, I don't think she would have chosen Mateo, Gabe, or Naomi for a very certain reason. You see, in the song “Fit to be Queen” Gabe & Mateo both seem very keen about dancing with her. But the thing is whether you believe that either of them or just one of them or neither of them have a crush on her, the fact is they both wanted to dance with her. And they seem to view her choice as a choice between the 2 of them (when it wasn't).

It seemed to me like a resurgence of their rivalry from "Party of a Lifetime," where they were fighting over who was her "best" best friend. And I know they've fought with each other about other things since that episode but never about how much Elena liked them. I mean Elena just cringed away from both of them and put their hands together instead of holding either one of them. Because whether you believe she has a crush on either of them or neither of them, she recognizes this could become a point of contention between them.

If Elena had chosen Naomi, Gabe and Mateo could possibly have also taken that personally and added Naomi to their rivalry. (Don't get me wrong I don't think that they would be annoyed about it forever, but they might make a rash decision in the short term because of it.)

I do Headcanon that Elena probably danced with all 3 of them at some point during the coronation. It's just that since the “most important” dance was the first dance, she dedicated that one to her family instead.

I got the idea for this fanfiction back in June 2020, but now I was finally able to finish it!✨

What is it about? Well let's just say that it’s about Esteban and Isabel saving the world together. (Any things that may seem odd at first in the story are cleared up by the end).

Some mother son baking! I was inspired to draw this by @lieutenant-amuel‘s great fanfiction “Was Born To Lead.”

Not too long ago, I was looking at your heartwarming artwork of Carla befriending the prison dog in your artwork! That’s such a wonderful idea! I feel like even post redemption Carla might go down every once in awhile just to visit the dog, who misses her company. I can even imagining Gabe having trouble feeding the dog, and all i of f a sudden Carla appears behind him and helps him approach the dog in a gentler way❤️ Your artwork is really inspiring!

Thank you so much for your kind words! And that sounds like a great idea!

 I feel like it would make logical sense that the dog is normally there in the dungeon when they have prisoners, not for the purposes of guarding it, but for the purpose of making sure the prisoner isn't lonely. I like to think that when Carla was imprisoned she got to take it out for walks when the guards were with her, and that she was later also given a rubber ball so she could play fetch with it.

MY VERY CONTROVERSIAL ELENA OF AVALOR OPINIONS

I try to stay neutral on many of the big issues about the show, but the time has come for me to finally share with you some of my deepest darkest opinions about it. I do not apologize for any of these, and you will not be able to change my mind on any of them. 

Esteban did nothing wrong… except for all the things that he did wrong. 

The flowers in Elena's hair are an immortal being, and will outlive everyone else in the entire show by at least 10,000 years. 

Princess Isabel could probably take over the world with her incredible inventions. Although there's only a 1.94962% chance that she'd actually try.

GUITAR!

Luisa could beat any one of us at olaball, without even breaking a sweat.

The real reason for Naomi's face and hair changing mid season 1 is either because aliens with advanced technology visited Avalor to offer free plastic surgery trials and she accepted their offer, or it was due to the daily stresses and successes of politics. (Also she definitely sings sea shanties all the time off screen; it's just that none of them are appropriate for a Disney Junior show).

Gabe has nice arms that are reminiscent of a cannon. 

A very serious opinion now about Mateo in Coronation Day during the final song “Guiding Light.” Near the end of the song I realized something very important and earth shattering while watching it… Mateo is singing amazingly in it! I mean have you heard the soundtrack edition of the song? I think all of the songs that Mateo gets in the show are very good, although in group songs you normally can't hear people individually, but in this one he is just rocking it! 

I would pay an enormous amount of money for an entire episode that's just Armando’s puppet shows. 

Zuzo has a great fashion sense, and he probably gives his human clients good advice on their own fashion choices.

I think one day, despite the criticism given to him, Skyler would make a very good king. Although he might have some trouble calculating proper taxation rates for his subjects, but let's face it, we all would.

The Question: Why does Carla have purple eyes when Ash & Victor have blue and green eyes respectively? The Answer: Why don't any of Migs & Dulce’s cubs have either of their parents eye colours? 

Luna's spots almost look like crescents, but not quite, so they don't perfectly fit her name! They only sort of fit, and yet they still look absolutely fantastic! 

Most importantly, I have figured out which ship in the show is unquestionably the best ship. After much deliberation and scientific research I've discovered that the best ship in the show… is the Alegria. It has survived for hundreds of years, it is magic, and the crew is fun-loving and immortal! Sure, Sea Blasters are very fancy looking, but you can bash a hole in them by throwing a stick at them! And Elena’s sailboat isn't big enough to officially be considered a ship, even though it has a very nice kitchen. 

So in other news…  Happy April Fools Day y’all!

i, for one, would enjoy if you talked more about your future!Avalor ideas *eyes emoji*

Then I will deliver! *magical carriage being pulled by velociraptors emoji*

I mentioned that political stuff in the last post but somehow I forgot to mention Naomi! Since she’s Chancellor, she's in the middle of the kingdom's politics, so she'd be at Elena's side for all those possible incidents, giving her advice and support. 

Naomi finally getting to travel around as Chancellor and visit the other kingdoms on political business would be nice. Because then she could live her dream of sailing around the world even more, but she'd be earning money while doing it. Plus, she has Elena by her side so it's a win-win-win!

Also, I want to see her hire a staff and establish more government positions in the Kingdom. I mean who's even maintaining Nuva Vista now that Cristobal is gone? So she sets up a more detailed federal and municipal government systems that are still ultimately ruled by Elena but now the people can be heard even better. Because the Queen just can't be everywhere at once, even if she has magic. (Now that I'm thinking about it, she would probably try an “everywhere at once” spell first before they did this). I would find it entertaining, but most people probably wouldn't so it would likely be done in the form of multiple upbeat musical montages, or off screen. 

For Mateo, I'd like to see him teaching his magic classes. Maybe him leading the guards in a training exercise on how to properly use magic against villains, monsters, or natural disasters. (More of Mateo fighting stuff with cool magic). Plus Mateo training Olivia, Carla, and Victor on how to help people using magic. Just a whole episode where they're just going around town and solving problems with magic, (and at one point they sing a cool theme song they've made up for themselves in an 80s style montage)!

 It would also be fascinating to watch Mateo learning more complex Master Level spells. Maybe even the most elusive one of all, a healing spell! Perhaps he could go through an arc where he finds more permanent solutions to some of their monster problems. Keeping the monsters in jars & books only means that eventually they might escape, and then you'll just have to hunt them down again. So why not find a way to safely reform them? Kizin could get to see his friends again!

That’s an amazing chart you have of everybody’s tomborita colors! Though would Victor and Carla’s tamborita colors have changed since they now practice good magic instead of dark magic?

      Thank you! And about their magic colours, well we cannot truly know for certain.      The only spells that we see them do after they switch to good magic is that sparkly flourish spell they cast along with Gabe and Mateo at the end of The Lightning Warrior, and the spell that Victor cast in the finale at Ash. For the first one, I don't think it really counts towards showing their true magic colour because some spells like Conglari are always the same colour no matter who casts them, and that was probably one of those kinds of spells (I mean none of them even had to say anything before they cast it so it was probably just for show).       The spell that Victor does in Coronation Day is still that dark blue/purple colour that he normally uses (Although out of all the tamborita users his colour seems to be the one that fluctuates the most). But we never got to see Carla cast another spell so we can't really be sure whether it was just a coincidence or not.

     In my personal opinion though, I headcannon that they stayed the same. I like to think that there aren't really any colours that truly mean good or evil. It’s how the person decides to use their own magic, whatever color it may be, that makes it good or evil.

Here’s my piece for the @guidinglightzine featuring Victor and Carla! I made it alongside @lostbutterflyutau‘s wonderful fanfiction: https://archiveofourown.org/works/29487672. It was so much fun to be part of the zine!✨

[Image ID: A pencil crayon and ink drawing of Victor and Carla Delgado in the palace kitchen. They are both wearing green cooking aprons, and Victor is comforting Carla, they are both smiling. On the table in front of them are many small food dye bottles, a bowl, jars, a butter dish, and a crumpled paper bag. Behind them is a window with phacelia and nasturtium flowers behind it. End ID]

Okay so I compiled a bunch of different screenshots of each of the different Tamborita users to see what their magic colours are, for reference and for theorizing about how the magic system works. These are the results.
