There's Also Just Years And Years Of Slow Burn But That Didn't Fit

encanto crack theories

(in which i don’t actually think they’re intended to be the truth by the writers but i think they’re really funny)

theory one: camilo knew abt bruno

-camilo clearly cares about his family and wants to keep them safe

-he also pretty accurately knows what current day bruno looks like, even if it’s modified to be creepy (we’ll come back to this)

-bruno didn’t want to be found. if camilo discovered him, his family-loving self would probably want to keep him safe. it’s his tio, after all, and estranged family is still family

-camilo makes bruno look scary to try to throw mirabel off his scent (camilo doesn’t know why mirabel’s looking for him, just knows he doesn’t want to be found)

-in the end when camilo is confused/frustrated by bruno’s sudden appearance, it isn’t bc nobody seems to be reacting, but bc he’s like “i put in the effort to keep a secret and this bitch just walks back out like it didn’t matter??”

-ex. “we gonna talk about bruno?” isn’t him acknowledging the return, but basically saying “oh so we’re talking about him now????”

-dolores saying she knew the whole time pisses him off more bc he’s like “who was he even hiding from if y’all just know????????”

-he’s bitter for a week

theory two: casita is the reason for the movie being a musical

-casita is the embodiment of the miracle, like a sentient personification of the gift given to the family. the closer to the house, the stronger the magic, like the candle being the heart and the house being the ribcage wgile the rest of encanto is a body

-therefore, casita has magical influence over the lands, able to alter reality within the bounds of the island(??) for the sake of musicality

-casita is a madrigal. this bitch is definitely dramatic/extravagant as all hell

-they assist the madrigals in turning their musics numbers into magic to add a little spice

-their influence is also what makes all the animals so friendly (they’re especially friendly to antonio bc his gift not only allows communication but makes them like him)

-the animals aren’t just friendly tho; casita offers them an ability to understand english and comprehend life on a human level (and even make them sing like the donkeys in the surface pressure number)

theory three: the family will live to the longest possible extent of their lifespans (especially bruno) bc of julieta

-julieta’s cooking completely heals the body and restores it to perfect health

-eating her food would repeatedly reset the body, thus removing any negative effects of the day whatsoever, including fatigue

-most people only eat her cooking when in need of healing, but the family eats them a pretty decent amount. this probably partially nullifies the effects of aging, oxygen combustion, and other natural processes accelerating the body towards death

-they’re all in pique condition all the time and are healing even the smallest things

-even the family doesn’t eat her arepas all the time, though

-except bruno

-bruno only eats julieta’s leftover healing food, which explains why living with rats and only eating bread never gets him sick and why, at 50, he’s so agile, looks rather young, and is strong enough to bash his head through a sturdy ass magical wall

-bruno will probably have the longest lifespan bc of how long his diet consisted of only magical healing arepas and nothing else

yeah i have no idea what i’m talking about i just really love this movie

OK IN MY DEFENSE I FIGURED OUT A REALLY FUN WAY TO DRAW HIM,,, happy fiddlefart friday,, i draw this guy too much

WILLIAM-ADOLPHE BOUGUEREAU - THE FLAGELLATION OF JESUS CHRIST, 1880

The painting depicts the compelling agony and brutal pain from the Passion of Christ. Jesus Christ is the focal point of the composition. He is bound to a column, with his hands tied above his head. His feet are limp and droop to the ground.

Two Roman soldiers are engaged in the act of flogging and their whipping ropes in mid-swing, ready to strike. The third sits in the foreground, fastening birch branches to fashion, yet another instrument of torture. The bystanders include indignant perpetrators, curious spectators, and indifferent executioners. Christ raises his eyes to His Father, He offers Himself as a ransom for the world

Bouguereau was known for his smooth, almost invisible brushstrokes, which gave his paintings a polished, almost photographic finish. This technique minimized the texture of the paint itself, allowing the viewer's focus to be on the realism of the scene rather than the medium. Bouguereau's portrayal of human anatomy was incredibly precise, reflecting his deep study of the human form evident in Jesus's body rendering

Including onlookers adds to the historical authenticity of the scene. During the time of Jesus, such events were often watched by crowds, including soldiers, local officials, and common people. By depicting this, Bouguereau aims for historical accuracy while also humanizing the narrative, showing how such brutal acts were part of daily life
