Why is the theory "Mirabel didn't get a gift because she's Abuela's successor" is so popular? 💀

Can people not ruin the point of the movie that she deserves recognition and love regardless of a gift?

My OCs in depth: Demario

Age: 15

Birthday: July 5th

Gift: Hyper Empathy

More about Demario:

Demario is Luisa’s oldest son and oldest child. His gift allows him to be very in-tune to other people’s emotions, whether they are showing them or not. His hyper empathy gives him the ability to truly feel the depth of emotions that someone else is feeling.

It can be emotionally exhausting to feel what everyone is feeling all the time, but Luisa makes sure he’s not put in any situations that put too many burdens on him.

It can be easy for Demario to forget how HE feels about something, as he far too often bounces off the feelings of everyone around him. A big part of his character development is to learn to have his own emotional compass, despite being highly affected by others.

I was very inspired by Steven Universe with this character, as he has that same need to help others and empathize with them in any way he can. He’s extremely kind and thoughtful, always ready to help his family.

Dolores: And my songs will be so much better than Lin’s, his career is basically going to be as Thanos-snapped as Isabela’s vines.

Isabela: Hey, just because it’s in the script, doesn’t mean you need to keep saying it! It isn’t even that funny!

Luisa, chuckling: Yeah, it is, Bela.

Dolores: It might be my favourite line, actually.

Mirabel: My favourite line is “the end”. Or, well, I’m assuming it says that… at the end - I have no idea. The only time I actually interacted with a script was when I put the entire thing, page by page, in the shredder whilst making unblinking eye contact with the Disney team

Luisa:

Luisa: Guess you could say their sanity was Thanos-snapped?

Isabela: FUCK OFF—

I have one single thing to say about Encanto.

How

Did

Bruno

Figure

Out

His

Gift.

Animal connection? Showed itself immediately. Being strong? Was obvious from the door, and would've become apparent anyways. I understand Bruno is considered superstitious so it might just be preference, but "Oh it looks like a prophetic gift? Obviously you have to have a circle of sand and burning leaves."

Okay that's all sorry.

Posting an old AU, which did later and very loosely inspire my work: Intertwining Threads of Gold.

Allow me to introduce Severed Threads AU.

As this is a really old AU (the second Encanto AU I made after Fracture), it’ll be no surprise to you that’s it’s already completed. No spoilers or withholding information here! So, with that said, I’m just gonna drop the plot below.

Story starts in 1951. (For reference, Casita’s rebuild/the return of the miracle came about at the end of 1950).

With Isabela no longer having to be the golden child, there is a huge question of who will be Alma’s successor. She is leaning towards leaving the matriarchy to her children, the triplets, when she passes but the council talk her out of this. The council want to rule themselves but do respect most people wouldn’t accept a leader outside of the Madrigals, as Pedro was the one who sacrificed himself and it’s their miracle that has made their town a paradise. So… their candidates are limited to the Madrigals.

It doesn’t take them long to settle on Mirabel, as the weakest link, and plan to rule through her.

They easily manage to convince Alma to appoint Mirabel as her successor, who agrees that Mirabel (though will need some training) would be a good candidate. After signing over the rights, she doesn’t tell any of the Madrigals, naturally wanting to wait until Mirabel is older. The only Madrigal who does know is Dolores because of her gift but she is sworn to secrecy.

Though the council did initially plan to just wait for Alma to die, they just get impatient as they realise that may be further away than they first thought because of Julieta’s healing food. They plan to murder her.

Cut to early November. Mirabel is usually away with Dolores at the Guzmáns preparing for her and Mariano’s wedding, which makes her ties with the family distant. The council decide now is the perfect time to strike because Dolores is out of the way. At a party, one of them slips poison into Alma’s glass and she quickly dies over the next few days.

Before the news of Alma’s death can spread through the entire town, the council take Mirabel to the town hall and basically announce the death of her abuela, read out the documents naming her the next town leader and officially make her the next town leader. So… Mirabel is going through a lot. Because what the f—

The death is immediately suspicious to the rest of the Madrigals, as it came out of nowhere. Only made more suspicious by them finding out, through the other townspeople, that Mirabel is now the town leader. They don’t get a moment to ever talk or even see the girl, who is incredibly busy and being pulled like a puppet on strings. The council are purposefully keeping them apart, to keep control over Mira.

Julieta and Bruno are the ones who eventually workout their mother has been poisoned - thought it should be noted that Antonio and Isabela also assisted in this discovery. The news spreads like wildfire through the town and a mob rises up, the Madrigals included, demanding answers and that the person responsible be killed.

Realising this has blown up massively, the council act quickly. They pretty much abandon Mirabel and save themselves. Mirabel is arrested and is to stand trial in the future for her alleged crimes. While under arrest, she is driven “insane” by the lawyers who try to speak with her - they are all being paid off by the council, so they are just trying to make Mirabel confess to being guilty anyway they can.

The council unanimously agree to stand against Mirabel, fishing out any evidence they have and bringing it to court. This also includes the manipulation of Dolores, who agrees to say what they need her to. As she is made to believe that by Mirabel being guilty, she can be saved because of her age.

The trial runs over a couple of days. Mirabel finds out that Dolores is to stand in trial on the last day and plans to an escape (into the prisons garden) to be able to plead with her cousin as she head to court. Which, to her credit, does work. Only Dolores is pulled away and Mirabel never gets any sign that her cousin thinks/knows she’s innocent. Mirabel realises that she is completely screwed; she’s going to die.

Mirabel is found to be guilty and her means of death is left to be decided by the head of the council. As there is no official town leader, the rest of the council are left to make the choice. Based on something Mirabel said when they first made her town leader about Marie Antoinette, they pick beheading. Mirabel dies shortly before her seventeenth birthday.

Julieta becomes the next town leader a few weeks after. The council thought she would be the most controllable after Mirabel, which they were right on.

The family, though shaken over Alma’s death and Mirabel being a murderer, they do slowly fall back to normality and learn to move on. All saving Dolores, who is driven mad by her guilt and frequently claims that Mirabel is haunting her - she is kept in her room for the most part. Only her parents, Julieta and Camilo visit her regularly.

Luisa is also not as easily moved on. She gets pissed when Mirabel’s belongings (that she had in prison) are returned to them, mainly just books. She writes on the front page, mentions nothing about what she did or didn’t do to Abuela - just talks about the book itself.

While complaining to Isabela about it, Isabela points out that Mirabel would have been monitored and probably not allowed to write something so freely as her final words or a message of love. Which gets them both to thinking… how much control did their sister have? Both in prison and before?

They basically become detectives. There’s some breaking and entering, stealing things from the council, trying to make sense of anything Dolores has to say, and ultimately realise that Mirabel is innocent and the council are pieces of shit.
