Black out and you’re falling hardthrough the asphalt-skywind razor-sharp cuttingbody corporeal howlinghovering limbs star-fished, pancaked paragliding, mind tearingage [eroding] around you.
Your descent, increasing exponentially, the patchwork landscape glistening Faberge tissue,a quivering phosphorescent arc offlickering blue copper chloride,tracking, this bird’s eye view of thefinal…

f1wagupdates Lando has been rumored to be close to Luisa for nearly 3 months, yet there's still uncertainty about their relationship status. While photos of them spending time together suggest more than just a friend. Then came the surprising news when Lando and Y/N both posted photos aboard a yacht, sparking speculation of them back together. However, recent social media posts from Lando and Luisa show that they are getting intimate, emphasizing that Lando and Luisa are dating. Will Lando stick with his old flame or go for someone new?

her family moved to the usa before she was born; her parents were able to secure great jobs but they require a lot of travel/commitment so ana doesn’t see them very often.
she was raised in a brazilian community, and she had relatives that would watch her after school from time to time.
she became close with her neighbours and often hung out with them and their kids.
as ana’s interest in singing grew, her parents got her a vocal coach at age 9 that ended up mentoring her up until recently.
ana took a “break” a while after seven left; she just needed some time off and hasn’t gone back. she started smoking then.
her vocal coach is still very present in her life, acting almost like an aunt to her. she’s one of ana’s closest friends and probably the biggest mother figure in her life.
ana was quite a lonely child although she could mask it very well; on the outside she was a happy girl with a big smile on her face, always down to play, as charming and friendly as can be; she did everything in her power to fit in and be liked (still does).
i haven’t settled on how seven and ana met although i know she befriended him much to his dismay.
she looked at seven and saw herself in him, so she had to get to know him the way she wanted to be known herself.
ana was definitely annoying at first, always sticking by him regardless of his disregard for her. she didn’t ask a lot of questions at first because she knew she’d find out why and how and what eventually. she talked to him like they had known each other for years, treating him like an imaginary friend who was supposed to know all of her trauma and experiences since day 1. it led to seven asking questions and overall curiosity, which lead to regular conversation, which lead to them becoming actual best friends
eventually you would never see one without the other and they’d spend hours and hours just talking. they’d spend nights together on the roof of ana’s apartment with snacks and eventually alcohol, talking. some days just being in each other’s company was enough, and it was nice.
one day seven heard ana singing and it blew him away. she hadn’t shown that part of herself to him yet and it was the final puzzle piece she was holding onto. something about sharing that with him felt very scary, since all that people would praise her for or pay attention to her was her singing. she didn’t want to perform for seven in order for him to like her. she wanted him to like her for just who she was so she never sang around him or mentioned she was part of the choir in her church.
ana grew up religious; relying on God for comfort and company. all of her community was very involved in the church, and the most time her and her parents would hang out together would be at church. she was part of the choir and she adored being on stage; it was the only time her parents seemed to pay attention to her and they’d parade her to show off the precious doll they call daughter. this was the start of her superiority complex but also need to be constantly performing in order to get an ounce of attention.
her relationship with God changed once she and seven became closer. suddendly religion was in his voice and mind, then his stare, his touch, his company and loyalty… she didn’t need God anymore, she had seven. and once he left, her sense of faith crumbled and i think she’s still trying to figure that out.
ana thrifts a lot! she also has diy-ed quite a lot of the stuff in her room. she loves to find antique and cool looking items, she loves clutter and making her room look lived in in contrast to other spaces in the house. ana has painted her room a million different times.
she bagged a job at her local thrift shop after going there so much and helping out people in the store (her friendliness and charming smile make her very good at costumer service) despite not having any openings at the moment. the lady that runs it grew a liking to her.
i think ana is looking for a seven replacement unconsciously, and g is the one for the job. we’ll see how that goes for her <3
In every episode Luisa tries a new hobby in the B/C plot and it goes a different direction each time.
There's 12 Madrigals so that already gives 12 character-centric episodes, + 12 if you want to do flashback episodes for each character so that's already 24.
Townie-centered episodes
Obligatory halloween episode where the grandchildren tell each other scary stories of the outside world.
Dolores and Mariano get engaged/married in a mid season finale/season finale.
Over the course of the series a trading&transport system is created for people to safely get in and out of the Encanto to the nearest town.
Obligatory "the oldest granddaughters go out and shenanigans happen." also Camilo and Mirabel spy/tag along.
Mariano goes with the other granddaughters out of the Encanto to get the best engagement ring for Dolores (because only the best of the best is good for her). Camilo and Antonio tag along and they get into trouble. Dolores hears everything and goes to bail her boyfriend and cousins/brothers out.
in each episode a part of the diverse Colombian culture could/should be explored. (food, music, dancing, fashion, history, etc)
Idk what this is tbh, it just came to mind and I wanted to draw and write it and stuff. Not sure what I was going for here 🧌

Isabela, little Isabela who was only 11 years old, stood in the courtyard. The night was quiet but that was the least of her worries. She stared up in confusion at the dark doors. Her Abuela, her mama, her tia, and her tio Bruno. All their doors were dark. And she tried knocking but nothing happened.
Dolores exited the nursery, and Luisa, Camilo and Mirabel followed behind her. Their eyes were red and puffy, and Camilo clung tightly to her night gown while Luisa carried Mirabel.
Once downstairs, Isabela turned to her prima. "Nothing?" She asked and Dolores nodded.
"I...I can't hear anything. No adults," Dolores said, her eyes wide and darting around. "I-I don't understand."
Isabela but her lip and glanced around at the darkened doors again. "Do you...think it has something to do with the doors?"
Dolores glanced at the doors as well. Luisa had sat in the floor, and Camilo and Mirabel leaned against her. "Maybe...but...the candle is still there. And we have our gifts..."
Isabela glanced at the candle. She was right. It was still there. It was weird. And Casita seemed to be there but it was just as clueless as them.
They sat in the darkened courtyard, a long silence stretching. The only sound was the ambience of the outside and the soft sniffling of the children. Where did their parents go? Their tio? Their abuela? Had...had they died...like their Abuelo Pedro?
A knock broke the silence. Isabela and Dolores exchanged glances. Isabela stayed back, ready to protect her siblings as Dolores crept closer to the door, her head tilted as she listened.
"It's...it's Mariano," she whispered. Isabela urged her to open the door and Dolores opened one of the large green doors.
"¿Hola?" A voice came from the other side. It was Mariano. Dolores opened the door further before peeking her head out fully. It was Mariano, the son of one of Abuela's closer friends. It was him and...he had his other siblings along with him. They were all similarly aged to the Madirgal siblings themselves, and she saw them in town often.
"Mariano? What are you doing here? C-Come inside," Dolores said, and she ushered him and his siblings inside. They were still in their pajamas, just like Dolores and her hermano and prima.
Mariano's siblings aat down with Luisa, Camilo and Mirabel, their voices soft as they whispered to wach other. It was perhaps an attempt at some sense of normalcy given their situation.
"Mariano? It's late, why are you here?" Isabela asked after pulling him and Dolores aside. They were the oldest of all the kids, with Mariano being only about a year older than them at 12, and they saw the adults do it before.
"Well, I was at home, right? And I had gotten up to get some food for mí hermanita," Mariano began and Isabela and Dolores nodded. "Well when I went back upstairs, mí mamá's door was open. And I was confused, so I checked and...they weren't there. My parents."
"What? You too?" Isabela asked eith wide eyes and Mariano raised an eyebrow, confused.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Mariano asked and he say tge two girls glance up the stairs. He looked uo as well, and saw the dark doors. "You mean...all of them are gone too?"
Dolores nodded. "I was awake but I didn't hear any of them. Usually at least one or two of them are up, but they were all gone. I can't hear any of them."
Mariano frowned as he glanced at his siblings. "I couldn't find them either. Its like they just vanished."
"What do you thunk happened?" Dolores asked, looking between her cousin and friend.
"I don't know, but...we have to figure out what we're gonna do," Isabela said. "I don't want the yiunfer ones to freak out. Maybe tomorrow we'll go out into town and see if anyone else is having the same problem."

Just a bunch of little kidz with no adults. Quite possibly stuck in time. Again, not sure what I was going for tbh. Antonio probably appears sometime later by magic or osmosis idk
