My contribution to milk day is: ANGST!
Below the cut is a little ficlet I wrote to go with it, that the wonderful @breannaaiedail offered to edit, and she did a wonderful job! Thank you thank you thank you again! And thanks for encouraging me to write something Encanto.
I’m gonna tag some people who inspired this! @glitternightingale (happy birthday, friend) @mmollymercury @thisstableground @cannibalthoughts
Alma’s steps are quiet and measured as she follows Bruno. It had been several hours since her botched first family meal. Perhaps one conversation hadn’t been enough to loosen her tight control over her family.
And by that, she means she failed.
Utterly and miserably.
Luisa fled the room, crying, and Isabela got so frustrated she tore her napkin in two without realizing. Antonio started the meal teary-eyed, so Mirabel and Camilo did their best to distract him, loudly. Dolores hadn’t said a word, and Pepa, Julieta, and Alma plied Bruno with food until he was quite literally and abruptly ill.
He’d, unsurprisingly, fled the room after and not even Mirabel could find him for the next hour.
If she’s honest, Alma didn't expect to see him again. If the holding pattern the two of them fell into ten long years ago was to resume.
She’d push Bruno, as she always had, and he’d fade into the shadows. He’d pad through the house in the silence of the early hours. Occasionally running into Julieta, but on the whole, avoiding everyone but the children.
Of course, the thought of him vanishing so soon after his return filled her with dread, and she enlisted her present hijos, their esposos, and Mirabel to aid in her search. Mirabel told her he’d be back, likely as soon as she stopped searching. She was a voice of reason, despite it being a role too heavy for a 15-year-old.
Mirabel was proven correct when Alma had heard her son’s near-silent footfalls slinking towards the church’s kitchen, just a few hours later. Perhaps the earlier nausea finally faded enough to let his nutrition-starved body demand food.
Alma slipped after him, careful not to startle him.
Julieta wasn’t idle after the search had been called off. She tied up her skirt and searched through the rubble of their home for her medical texts. Then, she spent the morning reading and sharing what she learned.
So Alma followed her youngest, her Brunito. And she poured him a glass of milk as he shrunk away from her, avoiding her gaze, just as Alma avoided looking at the faint scars on his too-thin wrists when he tightly clasped his left arm with his right.
It wasn’t much. Just a glass of milk, but her eldest assured her it was the first step to seeing her little boy healthy. Something he hadn’t been in a very long time.

As a last post for the Encanto Milk day: some french expressions with milk!
Inspired by @lunaencantada's post!
vache à lait (Cow of Milk): something or someone you get profit of so you exploit it until it doesn't worth anything anymore. Also "Traire la vache à lait" (milk the cow of milk) to talk about the action to exploit the someone or something.
Soupe au lait (milk soup) : Easily upset or angry.
Dents de lait (teeth of milk): It is how we call one's first teeth, the ones La petite souris/Ratoncito Pérez/The tooth fairy comes to fetch when them fall.
Boire du petit lait (Drink some little milk): Feeling extremely satisfied with a situation.
Avoir un teint de lait (having a milk complexion): having a really white skin.
Also know that I chose Pepa because she's the most white character I could find in this movie.
Avoir du lait sur le feu (I have some milk on the fire): basically "I have something urgent to take care of".
That's all people! Hope you learned some things!

Meanwhile, somewhere in Hollywood, Jared Bush realises no-one had tweeted at him about Bruno's pancita in a good twelve hours. Wondering if the fandom has finally gone dormant, he logs onto tumblr to check...
"Oh. So they're all posting about...milk. This fandom is weird."
