The problem with Encanto headcanons

As a Colombian I LOVED Encanto, but I know people have headcannoned Isabela as lesbian and Mirabel as bisexual among other characters. The issue with that is..

There is no issue.

In 2020 this was such a prominent issue to people and even 4 years later I have no idea why so many people took issue with this. It was fine for people to headcanon Elsa as lesbian, it was fine for people to headcanon Merida as lesbian, but all of sudden it's "forcing representation" and "taking away from the main story" if Isabela gets headcannoned as lesbian?? NOBODY is saying this for Max Goof and Bradley Uppercrust III when the movie was trending. NOBODY was saying it was forced representation when people shipped Bill Cipher and Ford Pines (even though the fact its gay isn't the issue but the fact it was a very manipulative relationship was but many people ignored that). And it's not bad to headcanon any of these things for any of these characters. I just don't understand why it was such an issue when Isabela (who's whole arc is honestly very WLW coded) gets called a lesbian. And its the fact its coincidentally a Hispanic character (I'm not implying ANYTHING.)

Overall, as a Colombian while i dont speak for every Colombian it never was and still isn't offensive to headcanon any Encanto character as queer since many people figured it was. Both the story and the headcanon can coexist. Acting this way won't get you approval from homophobes and transphobes! They still hate us stinkabutt 🤞

TL;DR : there was nothing wrong with headcanoning an Encanto character as queer in 2020 and there still isn't anything wrong with it in 2024.

New Fanfiction Edits

Good morning, afternoon, or evening.

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my post.

As a warning, this is a long post.

Earlier, I posted that while my new Black Widow fanfiction is 4 years in the making, it still needed some edits. I have made those edits, but I promise I did not make many changes.

It is still a crossover between Earth-616 and Earth-730834. As in, Alexei Shostakov in my new fanfiction is Alexei Shostakov in Earth-730834.

Marvel Database

Alexi Shostakov (Earth-730834)

1 appearance(s) of Alexi Shostakov (Earth-730834) 1 image(s) of Alexi Shostakov (Earth-730834)

In addition, I have adapted Earth-616 characters, to my interpretations that are appropriate for the story.

The protagonist is still Alexei's illegitimate daughter olga. Olga is my adaptation of Earth-616 Black Widow comics character Oleg Mihalovich.

In addition, the protagonists daughter is still ava. Ava in my fanfiction is still my adaptation of Ava Orlova aka the red widow, a well-known Earth-616 character.

*FYI I have not listed Olga and Avas last names. The reason is because Olga's last name changes in different stories based on her family situation and marital status, and on Avas last name, I will explain that in a further post in which I discuss adaptations of other characters. Thank you for understanding.

In addition, Olga is still an emergency medicine resident then physician, and the story is still set in a rural area in the northern great plains.

In total, I have not made many changes in the process of editing my new fanfiction.

In future posts, I will explain what changes I do make, and once I clear those out, start posting about the story, in the form of concise rough drafts. So please stay tuned for upcoming posts!

Thank you for taking the time out of your day or night to read my post, and thank you for reading it to the end. Have a good day or night.

I guess you can call this a Charity Shoutout

CW: MENTIONS OF SUICIDE, RACISM, AND UNDERAGE HARRASSMENT

As a lot of you who have been active in the Encanto fandom for as long as I have known, last month marked the one-year anniversary of the suicide of someone very special in this fandom, carlaerosie. She sadly took her own life way too young after being bullied and harassed far too many times by the racist assholes in this fandom, and since it's been one year since her death. I want to give back by finding a Colombian-based charity that helps those with mental health issues and suicidal thoughts. I ended up finding the Sergio Urrego Foundation, which is based in Bogota, Colombia, and it's mission is to provide psychiatric care for those in need of it. I'm planning on taking out $20 per paycheck I get this month to give back and I highly encourage anyone else involved to do whatever you can for this organization.

here is your gentle reminder that there are dandelions growing through cracks in the sidewalk. there is a fence lizard on the porch who is growing a new tail. there are trees growing through an abandoned house, branches tearing through the ceiling, ferns carpeting the floor. there is life pushing forward, pushing through. 

“But I knew no one. I was alone. No one cared. You might as well have left me to die.”

“You didn’t, did you?”

“Die? No, I didn’t. No thanks to you. Now I know I can only depend on myself.”

“Exactly.” Natasha shrugged. “You’re welcome.”

Ava Orlova

(Sometimes you just gotta cosplay obscure marvel characters that only @42wallaby-way-sydney and @yelenarooskaya know about. Also, will I ever be able to cosplay a character without doing something angsty? Apparently the answer is no)

8,42 ans 43 for yelena !

8. Unpopular opinion about them

She is not mature. She's hyperindependent and great at masking, but she's NOT emotionally mature-her psychosocial development stalled out at 6.

42. 3 comfort items

This is a little niche and leans into Experiment!Yelena but Laura Barton makes her a crochet or knit throw blanket that Yelena ADORES. She also has a weighted plush, and a specific pair of earrings Kate gets her that she almost never takes out.

43. 3 favorite foods and 3 they despise

Favorites: Mac and cheese (duh, one of the only processed foods she'll eat), green grapes, crispy tofu.

Least favorites: cooked spinach, shrimp, okra

Happy (late) Women's Day! I actually started working on this one last night around 1 a.m. When I realised it was women's day so it counts, right? Well it turns out if I set my mind up and manage to focus I can finish something in a day. I’m gonna grab a snack I spent the last 4 hour finishing this and my table is gonna die if I continue going on and on

MY BRAIN IS GOING BONKERS WITH ENCANTO HC AND WHATNOT LIKE

Dolores loves music, she likes to write melodies, it makes her feel in control of the sounds around her

IF YOU DRINK POISON MADE BY JULIETA WPULD YOU DIE WOULD IT CANCEL OUT WOULD IT BE JUST OMINOUS LOOKING WATER

Mariano writes poems,,,,,Dolores composes melodies,,,,, they start a band,,,,,

If Camilo ever gets their own song, he'd be holding a skull for maximum drama, plus he'd shapeshift if just for a second into the comedy/tragedy faces of theater, to be bastard

Isabela decides to travel around the world, whenever she comes back she brings gifts like books for Luisa and really nice yarn/threads for Mirabel

Maybe she happened to stumble upon a quendom/magical forest where an ethereal queen of the elements noticed her and become really good friends/gf

"YOU ALSO HAD TO LIVE UNDER HORRIBLE EXPECTATIONS AND BE PERFECT FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR FAMILY AND ARE ALSO A LESBIAN????" (proceed to make out)

Dolores: are you sure about this gringa with mad ice powers??

Camilo: (nodding)

Isabela: how dare you guys this is so homophobic of you

Camilo: (offended gay gasp)

Elsa visiting her flower gf be like

Antonio, to Kristoff after seeing him talking to Sven: oh you also understand animals!!

Kristoff: Yeah!

Sven: (Reindeer sounds)

Kristoff: so true bestie

Antonio: dude that's not remotely close to what she said

Kristoff: she???

Antonio: Yeah, Sven is a girl, and apparently she hates it when u give her carrots by half, stop doing that

Mirabel makes gifts for Anna and Elsa to make them feel welcome, like a crochet-snowflake etc etc it's sweet

Isabela would be the maid of honor at Dolores' wedding

A Tangled Ever After short type of thing but for Dolores' and Mariano's wedding. Hijinks ensue
