Tomorrow night? đ€ technically morning rn ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ oh well
âYou could save the world.â
âI could,â said the villain, âif I wanted to.â Behind them. the city burned.
âBut you wonât.â The heroâs voice was hoarse with defeat, blood trickling from their lips. âYou wonât.â
The villainâs shrug was silhouetted by the flames. âConvince me.â
Hey, hey! Friendly reminder to make sure your supposedly âfearlessâ character gets their darkest fear revealed in the worst way possible so they break down into a vulnerable shaking mess in front of all the people they care aboutÂ

MOVIE RANT BELOW YOU CAN IGNORE ME LOL JUST IN MY FEELS OK
I just watched Encanto yesterday by the way and as a Colombian I love what they did with this movie. There are small details that you wouldnât notice if you werenât familiar with the culture but I just had to make this appreciation post:
The clothing they wear is very typical of the clothing worn in the villages of the mountains down to the stitching! It was all so vibrant and beautiful! And the fact that they stitched the main characters name onto her skirt was such a great detail! Even the little bag that she was carrying is exactly like the bags that are crafted there - my grandpa would buy them as gifts for me and my sister and they are always so beautiful - bright colors and covered in flowers!
Also the architecture of the houses is JUST LIKE my great grandparents village!! My mom and grandma watched the movie with me also and were telling me about how they identified with this story so well. Personal note but my great grandparents actually had to flee their village on horseback with their two babies just like in the movie because they were threatened by assassins (wild I know). So my mom was like âbruh that abuela is MY ABUELAâ
When it comes to the appearances, Iâm so glad that they made the cast a mix of skin tones, hair types, overall a mix of appearances - because that is totally what we are like! The abuela looks just like my grandma - fairer skin, relatively straightish hair. Meanwhile Iâd say I look a lot more like the main character - medium tone skin with curly hair but the curls arenât tight. And my sister turned out like the MCâs cousin Camilo, similar skin color but MUCH tighter curls. I saw so many of my family and friends in those characters I could go on about this all day!
Also, THE FOOD! Donât get me started on the food! There are certain foods that are âtypicallyâ served in colombian restaurants here in America that are not actually what we eat back in Colombia. I appreciate that they actually used OUR food in this movie. Like the arepas for example. Here in america usually the restaurants serve the corn arepas with cheese on top. Iâve never been to a restaurant that serves arepas the way we actually make them - with the cheese already in the corn mixture. But in the movie they were EXACTLY how we make them I wanted to cry ok. And the buñelos looked so good ffs the breakfast they had together after the engagement party was literally the breakfast my grandma would make for me as a kid like đ
And the music was so very obviously inspired by not just salsa (aka generic carribean Spanish music) but vallenato (a genre of music that is almost exclusively Colombian) and other genres of music, it was overall very inspired by everything we listen to not just the generic salsa you hear at parties
PLUS the casual use of Spanish pet names like âmijaâ and âabuelaâ had me cheesing okay
ALSO WHEN MIRABELS FATHER SAID MIERCOLES I WAS DYING AKDHSKDJSKD (itâs a PG way to say shit in Spanish jajaja)
Actually everything about her dad was precious also when he played the intro chords to La RebelĂon I was ACTUALLY CRYING OF LAUGHTER like whoever chose the music for this KNOWS COLOMBIANS SO WELL LIKE????? If you arenât familiar with Joe Arroyo you wouldnât have understood why her dad was playing those chords but like - that is literally the one song that will make ANYONE stand up and dance so when Abuela was like âletâs get back to dancingâ and Mirabels dad started playing the intro chords to that song on the piano it was so funny ok
Also real talk I think I have a crush on Luisa
*CORRECTION the song was En Barranquilla Me Quedo and as someone who is FROM BARRANQUILLA I wanna formally say Iâm going to crawl into a rock and die now for my mistakes*
