Tu Bishvat (the 15th of Shvat) is called the birthday of the trees! 🌴💐🫒 In my Jewish Madrigals AU, this holiday is Isabela’s favorite.
One of the ways we celebrate is with a seder where we drink wine (or grape juice) and eat different fruits and nuts.

Much much respect for anyone who draws Agustin Madrigal and manages not to make him look like Hitler.

Round 1 - Side A
Tumblr media
Propaganda below ⬇️
Abuelita Alma Madrigal Propaganda:
There's a church in the Encanto as well as a priest and given how strong her grip is and how much of a control freak she is, I would very much doubt she'd allow people to believe in other miracles than Pedro's if she wasn't, herself catholic. Also I mean south american turn of the century family they're probably catholic.
Listen at least Alma is!!! The candle!! The importance of the church!!! The vibes are just there!!!! The idea of being a savior by sacrificing yourself (or at least your personality/grief) for your people? That’s SO catholic coded PLEASE
Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler Propaganda:
good lord where do i start. in the animated series he converts logan to catholisism and then fucks off basically thats the main thing he did there. i think one time they tried to make him a demon to explain how he looked but everyone hated that. he sold his soul one time to help his friends out after he died. he and logan have a weird little gay thing. he was a priest one time but he was made a priest by a fake bishop from a religion that hates mutants iirc so he just wasnt a priest. like 3 people have written him in a way i like and one of those is my friend just talking about how they view him.
wow marvel loves making catholic characters dress/look like demons
Kurt is a mutant who was born to mystique who looks a LOT like a devil (technically is half one but that cannon truth isn't real go back to bed), his mother dropped him off a cliff when he was born and he was picked up by a Romani group/circus (fuck old comics man) however he then narrowly escaped being sold to a freak show and found himself in a small German town. There he met a kind priest, who showed him God, and he quickly grew attached to the idea- However, it wasn't long before people began labeling him a demon and soon the whole town was against him with pitchforks and fire. Cornered and injured, Kurt thought this might be the end for him- maybe he would see heaven so long after finding it- but he was then saved by Charles Xavier who invited him to the X-Men. AND ITS BEEN SO MANY YEARS AND HE HAS BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH THERE. SO MUCH. SO GOD DAMN MUCH. BUT THE MOST AAAA THING TO ME CONCERNING HIS FAITH HE WHEN HE LITERALLY DIED AND WENT TO HEAVEN BUT THEN BECAUSE OF DRAMA WITH HIS FATHER HAD TO BRING HIS FRIENDS IN WITH HIM FROM THE BEYOND. THEN WITH ALOT OF TROUBLE THEY FOUGHT HIS FATHER AND THE ONLY WAY KURT SAW TO STOP HIM WAS IN A MOVE THAT STRIPPED THEM BOTH OF THEIR SOULS AND PUT THEM BACK ON EARTH. SO KURT CANONICALLY HAS NOW LOST HIS ABILITY FOR ETERNAL PEACE, LOST HIS VERY SOUL, TO SAVE PEOPLE- AND ALSO TOLD NO ONE NOT EVEN HIS GAY LOVER WOLVERINE.
Nightcrawler is a mutant vigilante who looks like a classical demon. He can't even go to church without people panicking and trying to exorcize him. Despite it all, he's so full of faith and hope and compassion, and he wants to believe the best of everyone. Also, he's bffs with an extremely angry Jewish sword lesbian. That has nothing to do with anything, but it's important to me that you all know that.
What if you were a devout christian and literally looked like the devil? He nearly became the pope, which was a plot by some supervillains that also involved faking a rapture? There is nothing like comics I swear to god.
A catholic who is half demon I don’t think I can better explain a struggle than that. But his character is so relatable to people who feel unwelcome with their congregation because of something that is a part of them but still feeling a connection to the faith. Kurt actively engaged in his faith and shares how his faith helps him through all the things he has faced in life and how he found a home with those of the church who leave the judging to God.
so they made kurt a priest briefly before deciding to retcon it, resulting in nightcrawler actually being part of a plan by villains to promote him to pope then reveal to the world that the pope is a demon. wild.
I have a side blog and a tattoo about him and i really really want him to win
Wisecracking devil-appearing devout Catholic with the Best superpower (teleportation)? HECK YES
German Catholic circus acrobat who looks like a demon & can teleport through a hellish alternate dimension with a puff of sulfur. Character of all time.
hes catholic and his dad is the devil. what could be funnier than that. also hes my silly little guy.
Nightcrawler is the world’s most fun catholic priest. I first was introduced to this kindhearted teleporting acrobat while he saved a boat full of stowaway refugees from inter dimensional pirates with swashbuckling gusto!

Doctor Alto Clef Is Probably Not White
Dear SCP Foundation fandom, Doctor Alto Clef is unlikely to be white, or at least in the main canon and with his original author. The whole Francis backstory is frankly incredibly out of character and feels like a different character that his name was tacked onto for relevance and as a plot twist thing. Francis is generally incredibly well written, but Not At All The Same Guy.
In the main canon, IE the Clef-Kondraki incident, he is heavily implied to be THE BIBLICAL ADAM, in his interactions with the SCP who is clearly the Biblical Eve. She is canonically Middle Eastern, as are many Biblical figures both in the Bible itself and in the SCP canon. Clef converses with Eve in a language akin to Ancient Sumerian, fluently, and as if it is his first and most natural language. He also references Eden in other canon documents by the core Clef author.
PLEASE can we have more art of him as middle eastern! (You could make him lighter skinned going off of the one canon photo, you know, the one with the big ole rifle and his lovely DILF-esque tummy?) He's described as big-nosed and that's a feature that needs so much more love!!!
Often, in heterochromia, as he has, the brown or in his case "hazel" eye is the normal eye, with the blue one being the genetically mutated trait due to whatever condition causes said heterochromia, not to mention his condition likely being more anomalous than the usual genetic causes of heterochromia.
In terms of narrative symbolism, it makes the most sense for his third eye or aberrant secondary iris to be the green one, considering the color green being used in reference to reality benders and general symbolism in Western media as unnatural (when vivid), as magical and potentially villainous, and as ominous. (Think: Maleficent, Bruno Madrigal...etc)
Also! He is canonically fat and I am so so so sick of people erasing that about him. There is no excuse for that sort of erasure or for the 'inability' to draw larger bodies. His race is not explicitly stated in canon and is open to interpretation, however, due to his nature as heavily implied to be a pre-Christian biblical figure (Adam), I think it is most logical (as well as personally enjoyable for myself) to see him as Middle-Eastern Jewish (as opposed to Ashkenazic or Goy). He could easily be interpreted as North African, Middle Eastern, or even Central Asian, West Indian or Indo-Aryan, or an Ethiopian Jew.

SPREADING ENCANTO POSITIVITY!!!!! Are their any Encanto Blogs you would happily show appreciation for and why????? Please tell us!!!!!
I think it's a lovely idea!!! That said, I'm the worst person to ask because I don't really follow that many people, I follow blogs who reblog other Encanto blogs. But I'm still going to try.
Short list; there are more blogs and people I appreciate, but I don't have too much tiem, don't want this to be too long and I think you all already know my friends hmm
@encantoisawesome Lovely person, constantly sharing Encanto-related things, super well organized blog to easily search for each character! Also, I think we have the whole movie in screenshots thanks to them and I always find there that reference I can't find anywhere else, so thank you so much <3
@encantowishes Right now on hiatus if I'm remembering correctly, but one of my favorite blogs to find Encanto content. Besides, romantic fic with asexual Bruno? I haven't been able to read it yet because I'm too busy, but knowing it exists makes me happy uwu
@omgcheez Look. If there's new Encanto content, merchandising, comics, whatever, you'll find it here first. It's always interesting to read his headcanons and comments about the characters and on top of that he makes cute drawings.
@waitingonavision Our pancita lore master. Cute art, sweet fics, lovely person. And everything that Moon posts about Jewish Madrigals is super interesting to read.
@pepa-brainrot I can't say enough about how much I love his art style, the Madrigal look beautiful. Pepa looks gorgeous! If I am sad I look at this drawing of Pepa smiling and I feel better.
Since we are talking about her, @cloudy-encanto is Pepa herself and not just because of her incredible cosplay and the videos she makes, she is like a ray of sunshine when you talk to her. Fics, 3D art, an amazing animation she did for EBB. Just... Wow.
Are you looking for genderbend Madrigal? @firinnie got you covered. And in general super cute content <3
@unskilled-dabbler Nyda also shares a lot of content Encanto-related and she has a very nice art style, I love the way she draws Bruno!
@thecrazyashley-blog Anything I can say about her is overshadowed by the thought that she has a 300k+ word fic. I really admire her for that.
@naoko-world shares Jared Bush's tweets when he does Q&A's and I also like that she post the merch she buys (official or from artists), so I've discovered things I didn't know I needed, too bad about the price and shipping every time lol
Uuuh, okay, I've spent too much time on this and I have to go now. I may extend the list in the future if I have time, sorry......
Super quick round for people I met on instagram! @dororoxpenana Helianthus Deenah Dinarion

1 year of Encanto: A summary!
I posted many things during this anniversary but I wanted to finish on a summary of this year for me related to Encanto!
Tumblr media
November 24th
Off to the cinema with my best friend to watch Encanto, thinking it'll be shit at worst, or correct at best. First thing I posted about it when going out: "I just saw Encanto. It was very cool, with good songs and an old-fashioned but well-done story."
From that point I started listening to the songs everyday.
November 26th
I make my first analysis of the movie on a Discord server about Disney to say Bruno represent well the topic of the movie, what it is about.
December 18th
I realized I may have a crush on Bruno after spending two weeks downloading a lot of pictures and fanarts of him.

January 8th
I discover that fanfic on Wattpad making me discover Bruno x Reader fanfics can be actually be good with an interesting reader.
December-January-February
I slowly become active on Tumblr once again, attracted by Encanto posts. First I only check posts, then I started reblogging, before posting myself some things. My first reblog was about the triplets looking like their age, while my first post was about Bruno's fangirl, to say I already posted 4 chapters of it.
Around January

I draw my first Encanto fanart, a drawing of Bruno.

February 14th
I spend my day reading Bruno Madrigal/reader fics and ends up getting depressed because I read one that gets me depressed when I compare mine to hers.
Probably around February
I become friend with @omgcheez make my first Encanto friend outside of this Discord server, and he becomes one of the persons I hold the most dear 💚

I write a dissertation about Bruno in French I decide to translate in english for Tumblr and will finally post on October 17th.

April 22nd
I post for the first time some screenshots I took of Bruno.

May 8th
I bought Clip paint studio and tries to draw again. First drawing I post on Tumblr.
June 4th
I edited Card Captor Sakura screenshots to replace Sakura and Tomoyo's heads by Bruno and Mirabel's, horrifying people.
June 16th
My first self-insert commission I asked to @kewkcommissions is finally finished!
July 3rd
It's my birthday. So I write a very self-indulgent ficlet with a reader supposed to be me celebrating her birthday with her boyfriend Bruno and the rest of the Madrigal family.
I gets some asks wishing me happy birthday too, which is touching me a lot!
July 18th
I find a very interesting post about a jewish view of Encanto, starting my interest in a Jewish Madrigals AU.
Then, I create my own private Encanto server under a friend's suggestion since I was hesitating to join one and which.
July 25th
Encanto milk day, launched by @breannasfluff! I write a Bruno/reader ficlet with Milkman Bruno, drink some milk, and write a post about milk related expressions in french, inspired by @lunaencantada's.
July 28th
Under @unskilled-dabbler, @lunaencantada and @mmollymercury weird suggestion that I should continue drawing, I decide to draw again and to show it on my blog so you can see how bad I am.
July-August
Kinshi decides to ask for commissions with only 5 slot. I'm sending her one, thinking I probably won't be chosen, then hyperventilate when she accepts my request. Once it's ready, I post it on Tumblr and use it as a profile picture.

Elam Rotem was born in Israel in 1984.  He is an early music scholar, has degrees from the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance, the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, and the University of Würzburg.  He is an expert in the music of Salamone de Rossi, the 17th-century Mantuan court composer who also composed madrigal-like settings of Psalms and Jewish prayers.
This piece is not by Salamone de Rossi.  This is by Elam Rotem.  He really groks how Rossi’s music works -- this group, the Profeti della Quinta, is the group that he has conducted in singing Rossi’s works in the synagogues where Italian Jews prayed at the time.  They also sing Rotem’s original compositions, in the style of Rossi, like this setting of . . . well one of King David’s lamentations.  David lost many people who were dear to him, and he lamented for several of them at different times.
I love listening to Rossi, because I love hearing well-composed pieces that are both thoroughly Jewish and thoroughly of the time and place where they were composed.  This is also why I love listening to Louis Lewandowski, Debbie Friedman, and Gershom Sizomu.  This piece . . . it’s certainly well-composed, and it’s not quite of the time in which it was composed, but it’s the next best thing.  It’s like if Rossi had had a contemporary, a colleague with whom he could have shared ideas and maybe had a friendly rivalry.
Leon of Modena would have gone absolutely nuts.

Hey, I saw a comment you left on a post saying that "Encanto characters being Jewish wouldn’t make any sense and would be actually weird" and that Encanto should be left to "Colombians and Catholics," but... Jews have lived in Colombia since Sephardim started fleeing Spain in the 16th Century. The country doesn't have a huge Jewish population, but there are about 9 synagogues there. I don't care much about Encanto stuff, but it's disrespectful to Colombian Jews to say they don't exist.
hey I apologise for that I didn't know about Colombian Jews thank you for letting me know
I still stand for my opinion that Encanto should be left for Catholics since the Madrigals are Catholic and changing/headcanoning their religion/ethnicity (latino caribbean for example in Félix's side of the family) would be disrespectful though

Encantober Day 9: Time ✡️
Jews traditionally pray three times a day, wrapping tefillin (the black boxes on Bruno's forehead and arm) and wearing a tallit (prayer shawl) during the morning prayer only.
I like to think that Bruno's tallit belonged to Pedro but that he also has one of this own that Mirabel had a hand in making.

Her own parents volunteering for every cause, practically. She is purposefully not mentioned by her family in articles. Majke won't disclose if that was their decision or her own.
Maybe you'd find Majke's social media, but most don't know how to spell her name so she's pretty safe. Her name on any social media is just majke. She has an account under her middle, name, Diana, which she uses to keep up with non-personal accounts.

THE UNIVERSAL HISTORY OF THE KISS: FROM SUMERIAN WITH JEWISH TO FRENCH WITH CAPUCHIN 
Kissing is a fairly recent invention. Although, for example, the French kiss is actually Sumerian and is even described in a cuneiform recorded madrigal, which is almost the first rhymed text in history. It was more than 4 thousand years ago: a certain priestess reports that the king, not named by name, entered the goddess Innana and entered into love communication with her using his tongue and lips.

DAE notice a lot of subtext in Encanto that (while not to distract from what it did for Colombians and their culture or to say that the Madrigals are Sephardi) could resonate with Jewish people; i mean in addition to just heavy emphasis on family and it putting the “door” in “l’dor va’dor”, you’ve got fleeing persecution to paradise, a candle that’s supposed to never go out, socially-advantageous matchmaking, feeling defined by your differences, elders trying to hide the wounds of generational trauma, and an ending where everyone comes together to almost quite literally repair the world.
