who are alma's favorite people and why?

Her Dad

Part of the reason why Alma suffers so much with her father is away is because he's truly her favorite person. She feels like no one really understands her the way he does. Or at least in a way her mother never even tried to do. Even in the years her father was home. As she's gotten older, her and her father have tried to read the same books (whichever ones he can find in the prisons library) and he asks more about her daily life than anyone. But beyond that, her father is a deeply brilliant man who just had a lot of shit luck and because of it made really bad choices. She truly believes that if he was free he would be doing something amazing and definitely something to help other people. She truly admires him. Especially all the ways he holds out hope. It gives her the hope she needs to hold on.

Junior ( @urdamage )

Junior is without a doubt the brother she wished she had. It's not surprise that he's become the first friend she's ever been honest about when it comes to her father. She trusts him so wholeheartedly it kind of scares her. But he makes it easy and their friendship has been one of the most lovely experiences of her life. She adores him, would do anything for him and is deeply grateful that he's in her life. She doesn't have many people that she trusts but he's top of the list. He's taught her a lot about real friendship and she finds herself wishing that they could just wake up one day and have been in each other's lives forever. She likes to joke that her life is split between before she met Junior and after.

Xena ( @finaldarlings )

Alma has always deeply admired Xena, especially when they were in high school. She was everything that Alma wasn´t but that just made Alma like her more. When they actually became friends, Alma realized that she was right about how much she admired Xena. Their friendship has brought her a lot of joy and she's grateful that she's gotten to explore her own musical talents. She appreciates how encouraging Xena is and really cares about her well being. Sure, Alma has harbored a crush on her for forever but it's blossomed into a deeply loving friendship that Alma does not take for granted at all.

TJ ( @enshrikes )

Truly, truly!! One of her favorite cuties. Yes, she does also have a crush on TJ that's she had for a long time but he's also genuinely someone she loves to spend time with. He's such a breath of fresh air and since high school he has always been interested in bringing fun into her life. She can't remember a time he didn't make her laugh. And she appreciates that a lot. Alma feels like a lot of their life is stressful and full of hard decisions. With TJ, everything just feels easy.

🍏, 🍎, 🍐 for Mirabel & Alma

𝐅𝐑𝐔𝐈𝐓𝐘 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐒   ♡   𝐒𝐘𝐌𝐁𝐎𝐋 𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐄

Alma~ 🍏 : Physically Alma is healthy as any elderly woman in their 70's can be. Despite Julieta being the go to for medical attention, I do think there is some sort of regular Doctor in the Encanto and Alma would absolutely be the type of person to go to regular check ups. On the other hand on the off chance she does end up sick, maybe once or twice a year, she will be stubborn about it with the whole 'Nonsense I'm FINE' stubborn streak. I think she would take multi vitamins and possibly something for arthritis pain, she's had a hard life and Juli's cooking can't cure the natural process of aging.

🍎 : HAH It's not. I doubt it's diagnosed but she has Anxiety for sure. Possibly depression depending on the verse she's in. PTSD. The woman needs a therapist. She's very good at hiding it all but can and probably has been triggered into panic attacks.

🍐 : She has a basic school education from growing up. Most of her knowledge has come from taking care of the town though. She's had to learn a lot, anything from the dirty stuff like agruculture, animal care and farming to the stuff that made the town function like how much wool would need to be sheered for X amount of clothes to be made and when the vegetables needed planted to keep a crop available year round. She is very smart and picked up most of it as a learn as you go type thing.

Mirabel~ 🍏 : Mirabel is healthy. She does her checkups like she should and gets her yearly eye exam to make sure her prescription is up to date. She doesn't get sick often but she does get small injuries quite often from her many different crafts and trying to help where she can. It's always small things that can be healed easily with a snack from her Mami.

🍎 : Hhhh its shakey. Anxiety is something this whole family has in my opinion, but yeah Mira has it. I think she probably has some form of ADHD as well. Yes, she would benefit from a therapist, she listens to every one else's problems I think she deserves to have someone listen to hers.

🍐 : She is smart but like... also not. Did she get good grades in school? Absolutely, she felt the need to do so to prove herself. Would she still have trouble spelling simple words and completely forget that you need to drink water on a regular basis? You bet she would. She's an intelligent dumbass. She's probably more street smart than anything. The book learning is just in one ear out the other for the most part, she only retains it for the duration of time its needed (She crams hard for tests) and then woosh. gone with the wind.

What is your animal familiar?

📷Adrian - crow

The crow is a very interesting, complex familiar to have, and it seems to have a lot of personality to its behavior. Though it is seen by some as representing evil, it is in fact a sign of luck as well, either good or bad, and is strongly tied with magic as well. Despite its worse side of its reputation, it is not a trickster, but in fact very wise and adaptable. In the same way, you are a very intelligent and creative individual, though you may be misunderstood by your peers. The crow familiar brings good luck to their master, acts as a mentor or guidance to them, and inspires them with bright and creative ideas.

The crow represents:

📷Creativity

📷Closeness to magic

📷Luck

📷Intelligence

📷Wisdom

📷Adaptability

📷Being misunderstood

✒️Masoko - wild horse

The wild horse familiar clearly shows the essence of strength and a drive to be free. You are not afraid of what others think, and do not hold back when expressing yourself and your ideas. Be aware, as your determination could give way to stubbornness, and your goals could end up running your life instead of yourself. Overall, this familiar guides you to follow your dreams no matter what the cost. However, sometimes you need to constrain that rebellious side of yourself, before someone else has to for you. A wild horse familiar drives their master on to pursue their dreams, aids them through difficult areas and times, and inspires them to stay confident.

The wild horse represents:

✒️A rebellious spirit

✒️Confidence

✒️Freedom

✒️Strength

✒️Slight instability

✒️Drive to accomplish dreams

🍙Inumaki - great panda

Though the panda has a fuzzy, soft outward appearance, it is a very strong, sure-footed familiar. It is an animal accustomed to quiet areas, and can easily become stressed if the environment is too chaotic. Similarly, you like calm, at ease surroundings, and are sensitive to harsh, loud places. You are a peaceful individual, usually preferring to be on your own, and can be somewhat materialistic, leaning material sources (i.e. food, games, books, money) instead of other people for comfort. Apanda familiar helps care for and protect their master, keeping them emotionally stable in chaos and turmoil.

The panda represents:

🍙Peace

🍙Materialism

🍙Nuturing

🍙Sensitivity

🍙Gentleness

🔥Benimaru - tiger

The tiger, though very, very powerful, is a dangerous, mysterious, and unpredictable familiar. They are often the companion of one who has strong feelings of vengeance or hate to another person. However, you are most likely very independent and sure of who you are, and strive to be yourself and not conform to others. You are pushed through willpower and wise decisions, if you are able to keep your feelings of anger in check. The tiger familiar is a very strong, vicious partner in battle, helps their master through mental stress, and gives them the will to continue on.

The tiger represents:

🔥Shadows

🔥Willpower

🔥Anger

🔥Unpredictability

🔥Mystery

🔥Wisdom

👺Alma - spider

Though at first glance it seems unremarkable or even scary, the spirder familiar is in fact capable of making beautiful, intricate designs with webs if you take the time to look. Representing creativity and attention to detail, people with this familiar are often artistic in one way or another, and always curious and on the search for new ideas. However, symbolized by the fear of spiders, there may be a shadow of yourself that you regret, or what you feel is a mistake about yourself, that you wish to be rid of. Just remember, those 'mistakes' are what separate you from everyone else; no one can be perfect. The spider familiar guides their master in artistic ideas, shows them the good in everything, and helps them accept who they are.

The spider represents:

👺Creativity

👺Artistic mindset

👺Regretting mistakes

👺Curiousity

👺Attentiveness

👺Intellect/intuition

i like the theory that mirabel becomes the next matriarch and all what I don’t like is people assuming this happens straight after the movie. “In encanto 2 mirabel should be the matriarch” judging by time jumps used in sequels this would roughly make mirabel 17/18 since they usually only skip 2-3 years ahead. How about we dont burden her with that and wait until she’s like idk 25??? like there is 0 reason the second alma retires that it NEEDS to be mirabel. What about julieta and pepa!? i do see mirabel as a future matriarch but just not a near future one! let her enjoy her childhood pls

[vrmxlho]

cw: not proofread + swearing + bad english because i'm sleepy >:(

YORU 夜

this man oh my lord

he could have literally had the most peaceful night of his life but when he gets home he makes a huge deal about it just to get kisses and hugs

he loves when you baby him

could come home with a single scratch on his hand but he will milk the shit out of

he always asks for kisses wherever he's hurt

he tells you that they're the only antidote to the pain he feels

you actually have no idea what he does since he's so mysterious but you're always worried because of the ungodly hours he comes back at

one day you just started inspecting his body in the shower and you were surprised by how many scratches and strange bruises there were and from then on you never left his side

you always have ice packs and heating pads at home to throw at him whenever he's complaining

though you do love hugging him and cuddling

most of the time to 'take care' of him all you do is give him back rubs which ends with you on his lap making out with him

although he always comes home in middle of the night and leaves early in the morning he always falls asleep after you because he wants to make sure you're not stressing too much

his personal philosophy is "holding hands saves lives" and he lives by it

always holding your hands because he had a "long day"

technically, length-wise, he did...

but he was really just walking around strangling people so

acts like he's dying so he can get your attention

actually pathetic (affectionate)

"y/n, i can feel myself slipping away." he was lying on the sofa dramatically. eyes closed, legs slightly falling off the edge and his hand on his head. he didn't notice you watching him and when he opened his eyes to check if you were paying attention, your gazes locked. he quickly turned away of course, and let out a theatrical sigh. "y/n please." you had diverted your attention for about one second because the soup you were making was making gross bubbly noises and you wanted to turn the gas off, but yoru needed you all to himself. he looked cute here. his face a bit flushed because he really did have a fever. his hair was a mess and his long body was flopped in an uncomfortable position in order to leave some space for you. you poured the soup into a small bowl and walked up to him. "my arms hurt." "i'm not going to feed you." he pouted. "i guess i won't eat then." rolling your eyes, you placed yourself on the sofa, took a spoonful of soup, blew a bit on it and motioned it his open mouth. it felt good being next to him. at least you could make sure he was safe. he could be calm with you. he could finally rest.

ALMA アルマ

he’s always late from work cuz he's a hard working baby

but even if he does come back at ungodly hours he always manages to bring food with him

and it's always your favs

somehow he has food from your favourite restaurant that closed down two years ago and who's chef was imprisoned for arson?????

what does this man do...

anyway

the second he gets home you're checking to see if he's fine and if he's going to need emergency iron tablets from blood loss

he hates when you do that because he feels like it's his duty to take care of you and that if you're the one doing the caring he's failed in some way

so he always brushes you off and tells you to go to sleep because its 03:41!!

it takes a bit, nay, a lot of insisting for him to finally let you take care of him

so the first thing you do is have a shower, washing his back and giving him head massages while he tells you about his day

checking over his chest because you're worried he's hurt and telling him to shut up when he laughs at how much you care

he tells you he would do blood tests everyday if you were the one examining him

if he ever comes back even slightly hurt you'll scold him for being careless and then give him kisses, telling him you'd die if anything happens to him

that made him want to try even harder and make sure you were never sad or scared

kindest baby, my actual husband

if for some reason he's come home without food and you're hungry he will cook for you, he's been helping out at auntie's just to be able to please you

what a man

"alma dear, there's no need to cook we can just go to the convenience store!" "convenience store? i'm not letting you eat that..." "babe about 1/2 of your meals are from the convenience store. you must be tired, i know how much you work..." "you take care of me every night, let me do something for you for once." he had stopped dicing the onions. both of your eyes were stinging but alma could be very stubborn when he wanted to be. he set down the knife, slightly patted his hands on his apron and pulling you in by the waist. "i really appreciate everything you do for me, you know. but i feel bad for making you worry so much." "don't feel bad alma, i love you." to this he pulled you into a tight hug and all you could do was put your arms around his neck. he smelled like a mixture of blood and soap. he felt warm but you could feel the tiredness in the hug. you wanted to sedate him so he would actually take a fucking break. "alma i swear to god, if you do let me take care of you i'm going to shove this knife into you." "it wouldn't be so bad if you did it." you hate how he made you blush even when he was a blink from deep sleep. i guess it can't be helped. he would never allow you to be the caregiver, so you might as well accept all the love he was giving right?

TAO タオ

mommy

there i said it

not even a potential mother, she is THE mother

barely gets hurt because she's so cool and hot like that

you're always worried though, because you know she's the type to get into dangerous situations and misjudge or underestimate them

however, she never allows you to take care of her, she's gruff and reserved most of the time, even if she loves you very dearly

but after whining about how much you wanted to baby her she'll stop resisting as much

she'll allow you to make her meals

mostly because she can't be bothered but also because she loves tasting the love in your food

she'll reward you with kisses and massages

even when she's the one who's sore and in need of massages

she sort of projects her needs onto you because she's like a mum

(please come home tao, the kids miss you)

though she is very obedient when you order her to eat, or to sleep on time

she lets you fix her wounds up and undress her when she's really tired (not always in a sexual way)

if she ever thinks you're paying her too much attention though she will straight up tell you to calm down and assure you that she's fine

she feels really bad for making you worry

but deep down she really enjoys the attention

not that she'd ever admit it

"you're back tao! what do you want for dinner?" "nothing honestly, alma and i already ate." "oh." you hated when she did this. yes this was so you could rest with her. and yes, it meant more cuddles and warm hugs. but you really wanted to take care of her. be motherly. so you gave her a pout and pleading puppy dog eyes. to this she raised an eyebrow inquisitively. "this won't work. let's just go to bed." "you will sit here and you will have dinner with me." she did as you said. she sat down with a huff and rested her head in her hand as you cooked away in front of her. it was nice and silent, the quietness was comforting. but you also wanted to hear about her day. listen to her rants and such. "so...tell me about your day." "it's really late dear, let's just sleep. i'll tell you tomorrow." "oh come on you always say that." "promise." you set down your plate, turning back to her. "i'm in middle of cooking, stop being rude." "fine..." the night passed slowly. somehow she ended up putting on some music and while you waited for the food to be done cooking you danced. you held her in your arms for she was exhausted. you loved it like this. in the arms of the one you loved. where you both would be safe, and cared for.

Emma Bloom HCs

- She has a heart locket with a picture of herself and Abe inside. She couldn’t bring herself to replace his picture or put it away when she started to date Jacob. Only after she finally began to get over him (post TDoDA) she put it in a keepsake box in her closet and hasn’t thought of it since.

- Her breakup with Jacob made her reflect a lot on how obsessed she was with Abe which is how she began to finally get over him. She ended up discovering she was pan after falling in love with a preppy popular girl at Jacob’s school who she’s been dating ever since.

- She became a professional photographer in both the modern and peculiar world, making a living in both worlds. Her girlfriend helped her set up a social media account to get more traction; her first photos that went viral were of photoshoots of her girlfriend and she’s been living off commission since. In the peculiar world she helps document fellow peculiars.

- Emma was always in charge of Miss Peregrine’s photo album and was the one who took photos of all the children (Abe took the photo of herself for her).

- When she fled home she didn’t have any belongings, therefore nothing to remember her sister by. After all these years she’s forgotten her voice and her face, and she sometimes cries at night trying to piece her back together in her mind. She and Millard once tried to find records or any information of Julia but they never found anything, which plagues her mind.

- Noor and Emma’s girlfriend drastically helped Emma warm up to modern fashion. She finally developed her own fashion sense, mostly consisting of sundresses, floral crop tops and baggy jeans. She’s a fan of the preppy-hipster style of dress to her girlfriend’s more bra top and leggings style of preppy.

- As often as they fight, she sees Enoch as the younger brother she never had and loves him dearly. It never occurred to her that he felt the same until she realized how concerned he was over her (towards the end of TCoTB) and she started to be more patient with his attitude (though she never hesitates to call him out on bs).

- She loves birds and owned a pet canary once, but after she accidentally burned his wing with her pinky, she decided that all pets were off the table and set him free, though she still misses him dearly and loves all animals in general.

- While she disliked and felt very jealous towards Noor at first, after they began to hangout, she grew to saw Noor as a good friend. The two, along with Bronwyn, Fiona, (and later Emma’s girlfriend), all hang out together as often as they can, usually shopping or going on walks (or pranking the boys). They love having girl’s nights with Claire and Olive (Horace tags along occasionally) and sleepovers in each other’s rooms (though Miss Peregrine makes sure Emma and her girlfriend sleep separately much to Emma’s annoyance).

Mirabel's Skirt Symbols (UPDATED HC)

Since a few years have passed since the full reconstruction of Casita and continuing mend of the family's relationship, I'd like to think a now slightly older Mirabel's skirt embroidery reflects on the progress made since then.

Abuela Alma & Abuelo Pedro | Two Caterpillars (Dos Oruguitas)

Instead of a single candle representing her Abuela Alma, Mirabel's new symbol design would probably be of two caterpillars w/ love hearts. (Bonus points if the hearts represent the colors of the OG triplets.) ❤️🐛 💙🧡💚

Julieta & Agustín | Bowl w/ Bees 🥣🐝💙

For Julieta, Mirabel would probably make a small bowl w/ a tiny bee on it, and two blue hearts rising from the top. Both would represent Mirabel's parents and their love.

Pepa & Felix | Rainbow/Sleet & Umbrella ☔🌈

Mirabel's Tiá & Tio would be proudly represented by an embroidery of a rainbow jutting upwards from an orange umbrella. Sleet and rain symbols could be near the rainbow too. (She's proud of her Tiá! No matter what kind of weather she has.)

Bruno | Rat wearing green ruana/drama masks 🐀💚🎭

Bruno's embroidery would likely be of a silly rat(s) wearing a green ruana and/or drama masks. OR or - maybe just the rats wearing green ruanas w/ the hood up/bucket on their head, all really depends on what Bruno's preferred vibe is.

Isabela | Cactus w/ blue/purple flowers 🌵💠

To help represent the stronger bond with her older sisters, Mirabel likely surprised Isabela w/ an embroidered symbol of a green cactus - but with a big dark blue flower at the top, bigger purple one in the middle, and light blue one at the bottom. All three flowers proudly represent the bond between the three cool-colored sisters.

Luisa | Donkeycorn! 🦄💜

For Luisa, Mirabel's skirt symbol would now be of her sister's favorite animal: the playful Donkeycorn! I'd like to think it would be in a proud and powerful stance, representing the unconditional love and both the physical and emotional strength of her older sister.

Dolores | Red Bow/Ribbon w/ Musical Notes 🎀🎶

Maybe in the time during reconstruction, there was a moment where Dolores freely showed the community her melodic singing voice. Mirabel wanted to help remember that moment w/ her cousin's iconic red ribbon, accompanied with little music/poetry notes.

Camilo | Mischievous Chameleon w/ Plate of Arepas 🦎🧡🫓

I like to think despite being older and probably expected to act more their ages, both Mirabel and Camilo never lost their mischievous sparks in the family. Mirabel's skirt symbol for her cousin represents this w/ none other than a mischievous chameleon in front of a LARGE plate of arepas.

Antonio | Jaguar & Big/Little Toucans

For her littlest cousin and partner in crime, Mirabel made, in her eyes, one of the best designs of them all. This being a mighty jaguar face like the first symbol, but with one big toucan and little toucan atop its head (representing the brotherly-sisterly bond they have. 🧡💙

Mirabel | Accordion with a Pink butterfly

I wanted to save the best for last. For the miracle herself, I'd like to see think Mirabel would make a symbol of her talents, being an accordion w/ a symbol of a pink butterfly in the middle.

[fist-amidst-the-hands]

hi hi okay imagine. stede wants to brush out ed's hair the way izzy always does. maybe izzy is busy on deck taking note of damages after a raid. maybe they had an infestation and he's going over ration spoilage and inventory with roach. ed is tired and cranky and absentmindedly separating sections of curls and tugging them apart at the bottom where they get stuck together in knots. stede offers to help with the tangles, says he would love to give it a go and help ed relax

izzy walks in a few minutes later and immediately comes up and tells stede he's doing it all wrong but also gently takes the brush from him and shows him the right way - where to hold the hair, how to start at the bottom with little sections and work his way up, when to start with his fingers instead of the brush. neither of them can see it but ed is smiling so much his face might actually burst

ALMA KARMA from D.GRAY MAN

JUSTIFICATION:

"There is an excellent post by Tumblr user thrombosis from which much of this derives <3 https://www.tumblr.com/thrombosis/679904161383464960/alma-isnt-a-woman also much of the canon language around Alma is highly feminized, being described as a womb and mother of the Third Exorcists through clone cells based off of them despite having a biologically male body, and they are the reincarnation of a woman. Much of their vengefulness and agony feels like woman behavior and we have to stan for that." - @ihateyukanda

Reminder: Submissions are always open! Submit here!

[arewecoolio]

E, F, J, L and O for Alma pls <3

ofc!!

E = Emotion (How are they with showing emotion in public versus private?)

She’s perfectly fine to show most emotion in public save for anything too vulnerable or considered improper. In private it still is entirely dependent on if she’s willing to open up to you at the moment. 

F = Flirt (How do they flirt? Are they smooth or awkward?)

Is very smooth up until you flirt back, you might not notice anything beyond a slight blush afterwards, but she will be trying to outdo your reply every single time. It still leans more on the side of smooth than it does awkward, but it’s entirely endearing. 

J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)

It’s not very often that she gets jealous considering the loop, but when she does it’s almost always from a person who she perceives as someone who can give you a life outside the loop. When she is jealous it’s not extremely obvious, but you notice a change in her demeanor and a sudden preference for finding an excuse to touch you (brushing nonexistent lint off your shoulder or resting her arm on yours are typically her go-tos).

L = Little ones (How are they around children?)

With other children that aren’t her own she’s less likely to be as strict and would rather let their ymbryne take over for any parenting to be done. But overall she’s insanely good with them, no matter the age or personality she can find something to bond over fairly quickly.

O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

It’s a very slow process with Alma and it’s not that she necessarily wants to keep everything from you, she just doesn’t feel rushed to tell you everything consider how much endless time you two have. But she will slowly open up about certain topics like her family (give it a decade or two), and because of the loop other topics like the fact that she’s a terrible driver may never come up because there’s no cars on Cairnholm.

[trainwrecksys]

I’ll write all the writing out bc my handwriting is illegible to most

Myron: happy a whole pride month exists

Jack: OPENLY GAY IN EVERY TIME PERIOD

Alma: wondering why she was grouped together with her brothers and not her wards or the ymbryne council

[greenvillainredemption]

Broke: Alma is homophobic

Woke: None of the characters are homophobic

Bespoke: It’s a catholic town in the early 1900s girl everyone is homophobic

[oldmanffucker]

I hc Zheng as having trichotillomania bc of the offhand comment by auntie and just had a brain blast that nearly sent me to my knees.

Imagining that Alma also has trichotillomania and when Stede is out with the crew for drinks one time he sees Zheng twisting a hair between her fingers and tugging it mindlessly, sees Olu put his hand on her wrist and smile at her when she looks at him and sheepishly puts her hands in her lap where Olu picks one up to hold in his own.

And Stede’s heart clenches bc he recognizes that move and he knows these people and suddenly Alma’s compulsion doesn’t feel so big and scary and his tongue’s a bit loose from the booze and he leans over and with so much affection that Zheng cannot place, asks her “do you have trichotillomania?” and Zheng’s mouth just opens and closes and she looks at Olu who’s just as shocked and Stede is like ‘oopsies social faux pas ignore me’ and Zheng goes “no no I don’t mind I just…no one knows what that is you just surprised me.”

“Oh, I’m sorry it’s just - my daughter has that and she feels, well we feel kind of lost about what to do. We’ve never met anyone else with it.”

And Zheng gives him tips to pass along to Alma and how she appreciates having people approach her trich and even agrees to chat with Alma if she’d like that when Stede tells her about it and yes I’m projecting a deep desire for someone else in my life to understand my struggle and for a parent figure to be tripping over themselves to learn how to better help me but isn’t that so sweet???

[gabrielapazlima]

who was Alma's favorite children to you?

its funny cuz i see some people saying Julieta and another people saying bruno but i never see anyone saying pepa😭

[jacarandaaaas]

do u have any alma and pedro headcanons?? LOVE ur blog queen 😋😋

aww thank you so much!! and ooh this is interesting ask! I never get questions about alma and pedro but I think it would be fun to explore them!

some of these are inspired from “tale of three sisters” encanto book! I highly recommend it!!

pedro is confirmed to be a writer so I feel like he would write poetry and stories for alma or inspired by her!!

Alma snorts when she laughs!! and pedro finds it really cute!

Pedro taught her to sew and then she passed it down to her kids!

Pedro is dramatic!! he’s very theatrical in nature! (we can see where madrigals get that from)

I feel like alma was always someone who was community orientated! her and pedro probably got lots of help as a young couple from the village! and they would return the favor!

Pedro is a really good cook! and alma is a really good dancer!

both of them learned to play an instrument! (don’t know what but I think them as musicians is fun!)

pedro would talk to the babies as they were growing inside alma all the time! like full on conversation! “your mama is real stressed right now could you calm down on the kicking”

Pedro always wanted to be a dad!

he’s also a really bad snorer but alma loves him too much to say that!

Pedro is impatient! he can get annoyed easily whilst alma is more patient!

He loves exploring and starts talking to alma about the places they were going to visit with the triplets!
