Even thinking back to when I saw the movie, you could even see Mirabel as being the new foundation, the old was built of rocky stands that were going to break, crumble and crash inevitably, because those who got those same frameworks of how to be despite who they they truly are, they learned that their feelings are not always there to be listened to and in fact serve as interruption, because if the other members of the family had spoken up before Mirabel that house would've atarted to crumble way earlier, and I think of one of the triplets the woman that could change the weather, Abuela would always get on her about thundering, making her keep all her feelings inside and ignoring thw emotions that needed to be addressed which caused her to thunder more frequently because when you ignore the problems abd emotions you have the bigger and more destructive they become as they try to be heard. You could even say Mirabel was the new house, she was the new home for healing and doing better so to speak 3:21 on the time as I look up, and it also hits home for me because for example in one of my friendships I see the patterns that are happening, and I see how she is reacting to working through her own stuff but also crashing out on others around her and how she is essentially not taking the tools so she won't be at the point of crashing out, but then putting that on others, so she's in this space this part of her journey of where something has to give, and in regards to me and how it has triggered me, because Mirabel sees the all the cracking and how the patterns wven though she nay not call it that, how it's getting out of hand and she sees where the issues are coming from, but in her efforts to help she is scolded for that. Now in my situation I'm not being scolded or nothing like that, but it has shown me what I cannot tolerate even from people I love, sometimes it takes seeing the effects of how things have been going for so long, how it has affected the people around you to make you see that something has to change and to accept that change in your life. I hope all of that made sense lol
Your writings blow me away every time. This is an amazing on point breakdown and I am still processing and wrapping my head around it all. I remember the first time I watched this movie, I cried towards the end and said aloud, “omg, I’m Maribel.” I will stop here because I am still in awe at how you capture everything so well in your writings. Looking forward to the next piece and the series. Especially as you breakdown Soul, Coco and more. I love it here 🥰
Thank you for sitting with it and sharing this. Encanto has a way of meeting people where they are, especially when you realize you’ve been carrying roles you never chose.
“I’m Mirabel” is such a real moment. I’m glad the piece gave language to that feeling instead of rushing past it. This part really mattered. 🖤

Absolutely! Thank you for this addition.
I love the way you break everything down and open eyes to what is really happening.
