My darling Niece wants to be Dolores for her school’s Book week! (I’m not sure they do this outside Australia), It’s a themed event to encourage reading, and on the last day all the kids dress up in costumes as various characters from books (characters from comics, TV, and movies all count too because 1. most popular medias generally have book tie in’s for kids and 2. They’re kids, the point is to have fun!) and walk in a small parade for all the parents and teachers to coo and awe over~
It was a particular favourite of mine growing up, I've made a Minecraft Steve head, a Harry Potter wand and styled an Elsa wig for their previous years, but this year I’m going hard! I really enjoyed Encanto myself and I couldn’t be more delighted by her choice in character this year, so Unkie Kens pulling out all the stops and I'm teaching myself how to make the whole thing from scratch! and yah’ll get to watch me fumble and stumble my way through it ╰(*°▽°*)╯
Went to my first con of 2023 yesterday. Cosplay was based on a modified look worn by Eduardo in “Extreme Ghostbusters”. Don’t think I would’ve been too comfortable in a full jumpsuit.
Met the very lovely and sweet Adassa aka Dolores Madrigal from Encanto. I also made her a resin dragon egg with a little Dolores figure inside that she absolutely adored.
Also got to meet Denise Crosby aka Tasha Yar from Star Trek: The Next Generation.
While I was waiting in line with my friend for her to see artist Kevin Eastman, a little boy saw me, told his mom “look another ghostbuster! I want a picture!” She asked if it was okay and of course I obliged lol he was just too adorable!
Using the Encanto characters, Tag your Mutuals/Tumblr Blogs that remind you of each of the Madrigals (E.G. *insert Tumblr Blog here* reminds me of Mirabel for their positivity and cheerfulness, ETC)
@seanettlles reminds me of Mirabel because she too has a wonderful brain, big heart, and cool glasses 💕💕🥺😭 Plus she’s cute! And also her tags are Super Enthusiastic and strike me as Mirabel-esque. ILYSM, LEX!!
@lunamadrigal reminds me of Julieta because she’s generous and caring T^T but definitely has a fun and silly side :3
@naoko-world reminds me of Pepa because I think she’s very passionate and has a lot of feelings, about social causes and other things. 💛 Let it go~~~
@omgcheez and @captaincravatthecapricious remind me of Bruno. Check out Mars’ cosplay and both Mars’ and Jasper’s general Bruno-ness.
@jennjiart reminds me of Agustín because oh! for one, Jennji’s drawings have a Gus-esque mix of heartfelt and goofy energy (like the one of Bruno and Camilo playing Uno). She’s also approachable and has a good sense of humor (though to be fair Gus is more unintentionally funny).
@acewithapaintbrush reminds me of Félix because she’s affable and steady. Like Félix, I think Ace would be awesome to hang out and talk with. I feel like she has a lot of interesting stories to tell.
@glitternightingale reminds me of Isabela because I feel like she’s got a lot of (genuine) poise and grace but also has a wild/mischievous side that’s super fun to be around! (:3<
@lunaencantada reminds me of Dolores because I think she’s a good listener and perhaps quiet herself? Similar to Dolores (and not in a gossip sense), she likes to share her knowledge and insight. The fandom’s lucky to have her! 💚
@junosaccount reminds me of Luisa because she seems a bit shy as well as giving and responsible, and, if I may, could take more time for herself because she deserves it 💕
@clownmoontoon reminds me of a Camilo whose energy has been dialed up to eleven. 😂💚 MORE CAPSLOCK TAGS! ARE ALSO AMAZING!!!!
@immabethehero reminds me of Antonio because she’s seems very sweet and thoughtful. She also gives off little sister vibes, and I mean that in the best way!
@unskilled-dabbler reminds me of Alma... Wait, here me out! ;;; Just in the way that Nyda seems calm and level-headed. She strikes me as having great leadership qualities. Also, she’s really pretty, like Alma was in her youth, especially! (Hope you don’t mind this, Nyda!)
Feel free to do this with your own followers/mutuals!
