GenKana Ship Chart and Opinions +AU

AU: Genya and Kanao Met in the Final Selection. They hung out at first for practical reasons like training. However, over the years, they became rather close friends

Canon!GenKana would be a WHOLE lot more awkward and cutesy kinda stuff. Au!GenKana is already past that phase. I think both are good

I'm just imagining an Encanto AU where everything is still the same but Julieta is the one who can see the future and Bruno heals with food.

Just picture it with me.

Julieta's gift of healing with food kind of made her into the ultimate powerhouse maternal figure. Especially in most latino/hispanic cultures (from what I have observed) it is considered a "woman's role" to take care of others with things like cooking and repairing what has been broken.

Now imagine a Julieta, who is still a maternal powerhouse but instead of healing she tries to use her visions as cautionary tales or teaching lessons.

The village is still scared of her, still believes she is a source of bad luck.

But Julieta still has Augustin, who didn't believe she made the future happen. He was accident prone before meeting her. Just now she uses quick glimps to warn Augustin of his potential injuries and advise her brother how much extra food he'll need to make for her accident prone husband. They both chase Agustin around with the magic food She still gives birth to her three daughters who she loves more than anything. She is still the triplet that speaks against her mother to defend her family.

Bruno who is now the golden child of the triplets, and the most useful, is still socially awkward, and superstitious. His sister's can tell when the food choice is something on the saltier side. While his gift is useful he's only really approached for healing food and he's been doing that since he was five. He's overworked and is constantly in the kitchen. Making food in case of emergencies. He's still the rat man with rat children.

Mirabel's failed gift ceremony happens and Alma begs Julieta to look into the future. After comforting her daughter to sleep Julieta walks down into her vision cave where she sits on the end of a peninsula of an underground lake.

In her hands sits a blue tablet showing her youngest daughter. One side has casita whole, the other full of cracks.

Julieta is terrified for her daughter, Alma will demand to see the vision. Julieta knows from experince that once Alma knows it will end horribly for her daughter.

Julieta will do anything for her daughters.

Augustin goes to find his wife but only finds an empty cave and a smashed vision.

For 10 years no one talks about Julieta. Her door has stopped glowing. Augustin took the spare bed in Bruno's room, the two growing closer as Bruno helps with raising the girls. It's Bruno's involvement with helping raise his nieces that Augustin has not followed through on his threat to take his daughters and leave Casa Madrigal.

Augustin is more quick tempered with Alma, more ready to defend his daughters.

Isabela resents Mirabel even more, blaming her for their mother's disappearance.

Luisa doesn't blame Mirabel, if anything she's probably more protective of her than in canon. She does hold a secret resentment towards the town though. She believes they pushed her mother over the edge. Especially when she hears what people whisper from Dolores and by her own ears.

Well one of those girls had to be bad luck like their mother.

Julieta should've stopped after one. She got lucky to have a perfect daughter like Isabela.

Yeah she should've counted her graces that only one is a fuck up like her.

Mirabel wished someone talked about Julieta Madrigal. Actually talked about her, what she was like, how she looked, how she spunded. Did she prefer sweet or spicy foods? What was her favorite shade of blue? Did she love her youngest daughter? Mirabel has no memories, or very vauge ones. She has no idea who her mother truly is. The only comfort Mirable can bring herself is that sometimes it feels like Casita is trying to minic what she thinks is Julieta's voice. Giving Mirabel words of encouragement, praise, and love. Despite this attempt Mirabel might hate herself a little bit more, after all she was such an embarrassment that she drove her mother away.

Julieta does a better job at hidding in the walls than Bruno. She sneaks out a back door from her place in the walls before anyone wakes up and returns when she knows Dolores goes to sleep. She adds to her brother's herbs that she has spent all day collecting. Then wonders upstairs. Checking on each of her daughters, leaving them gifts before going back into the walls.

Julieta patches the walls for years. Taking notice of the pattern of when Mirabel is stressed or in pain the cracks show more. Casita has more than once woken Julieta up to one of her daughters having a nightmare. No matter how old they are she holds them close singing them back to a peaceful sleep.

Her brother's rats keep her entertained, always performing Bruno's latest telenovela for her. They help her sometimes by bringing things when she mistimed her coming back and can't make much noise in the walls.

She never expected one of her visions to be something they would bring her. Or that she would be reunited with her youngest daughter five minutes later after ten long years.

Bruno's rats led Julieta to one of the holes in the floor.

Julieta let out a gasp when she saw who was dangling by one of the floorboards. "Mija!"

Mirabel stared at a face simliar to her own as she gets pulled up. "Mama?"

Julieta checks her daughter over for injuries before pulling her into a tight hug. "Mi amor what are you doing back here?"

"What am I? What are you?" Mirabel spluttered, just examining her missing mother who was apparently never actually left! Mirabel glances over, loosing steam as she takes in all the repaired cracks. "Have you been patching these?"

Julieta sadly traces over the cracks, they match so well with her vision. "No matter how much I love our family, I won't let even them hurt my daughters. When Mama wanted that vision of you ten years ago I knew I could never let her see it. Even if there was a possibility of it turning out well she would only believe the worst outcome. Just like she and the village believe of me."

Realization dawns on Mirabel. "You left because of me?" Her voice shook, tears falling because they were right, Oh dios they were right she was the reason-!

"Mi vida." Julieta pulled her daughter back into a hug. "I left to protect you. I may regret having to leave but do not doubt I wouldn't do it again to make sure you were safe."

Mirabel gets the idea for another vision, but with Julieta's cave wrecked they needed a new place with open space. Julieta led her daughter to a river.

"I've spent a lot of time here over the past decade. Your Abuela would never come here."

Mirabel looked around, remembering the story. "This is where it all started. Where Abuelo Pedro..."

Julieta nodded. "It's probably the most magically charged place in Encanto outside of Casita."

They do the vision, water forms around them. It's the same as before,no closer to a straight path. Mirabel spots something Julieta couldn't see. They follow it until a new picture forms.

"Antonio the door, the door!"

The rats grabed Antonio's attention. The dead door of the tia he never met, whose room was off limits, was glowing bright and strong. He looked over the railing where his tios were.

"Tio!"

Augustin and Bruno ran rowards their nephew, Pepa and Felix not far behind. All four adults freeze at the glowing door.

Julieta holds a blue tablet. She smiles at the picture. Her oldest and youngest hugging.

"Isabela!" Mirabel rages.

"Mira," Julieta's voice takes on a warning tone.

"Mama you don't understand!"

Julieta raises an eyebrow. "May I remind you darling daughter that I was the black sheep between mi hermanos. And my brother was the golden child."

Mirabel blushed.

Julieta gently set the tablet down and hugged her daughter again, kissing her forehead. "I believe my visions are lessons we have to learn. You and Isabela have been fighting for a long time. Maybe it's time the both of you learned to communicate and move forward. Now go hug your sister and save the miracle. Then after...," Julieta pauses . "After can you tell your papa and hermanas I love them? And tell mi hermanos I miss them."

Mirabel hugged her mother tighter. "After I save the miracle you can tell them yourself when I bring you home."

"I love you mija."

Julieta sat back down in the river, cradling her tablet. "Papa, please protect mi familia."

"The cracks started with you! Julieta left because of you!" Alma yelled.

Mirabel snapped. "Mama left because you always believed the worst in her!"

"Julieta didn't care about this family!"

Mirabel noticed her older sisters flinch, tears forming in Luisa's eyes as they always do when someone brings up Julieta leaving.

No matter how much I love our family, I won't let even them hurt my daughters.

I left to protect you.

Can you tell your papa and hermanas I love them?

I love you mija

Mirabel stepped closer, her temper flaring. "Mama loves me! She loves this family! I love this family! We all love this family! It's you who doesn't care! You're the reason Mama left! You're the reason for the the cracks! You are the reason the miracle is dying!"

Julieta felt the ground shake. Watched as the mountain that hid the Encanto for years split in two. She screamed as Casita fell in the distance.

Her daughters, she needs to see her daughters.

Mirabel ran. She failed. The miracle was gone. Casita fell . She wanted her mama, and her mama was by the river.

"Mama! Mama!"

Julieta stopped. Mirabel needed her. She turned back towards the river. When she got there Alma was with Mirabel. Mirabel was crying, Julieta saw red.

"Mama! Don't touch my daughter! She's not the reason the miracle died!" Julieta yelled, putting herself between her mother and daughter.

"Julieta," Alma breathed. Pulling her daughter into their own hug, kissing her face. "Mija, I'm so sorry."

Julieta glanced down at Mirabel who joined the hug. "It's ok Mama."

They make it back to the ruins of Casita. Agustin and Bruno checking over Mirabel as Alma apologizes to the whole family.

"And I'm so sorry I held on too tight," Alma said before she guided Julieta into the family's line of sight. "Just so scared I lose you too."

"Mama!" Isabela and Luisa rush forward into their mother's arms. Pepa and Bruno hugging their sister from the sides while Augustin hugs her from behind.

"So we gotta talk about Julieta?" Camilo says awkwardly on the side lines. Making a face when Dolores elbows him

"That's Tia Julieta?" Antonio asked confused. She doesn't look like what the rats described to him.

Augustin wraps an arm around Julieta as they watch Mirabel bring the magic back with a twist of a doorknob.

"She takes after you," Augustin whispers in his wife's ear.

Julieta smiles, thinking about the vision she had right after Mirabel was born. "She finally sees what was there all along."

What are natsuo and shouto like in your au?

I did not read this haha, Sorry Anon but it took me a while to figure this out. I do think that they are different, considering the trauma of losing their sister and leaving TOUYA to raise them would result in the same yet completely different people

I do think that they are kinda grittier and less forgiving people. Especially towards Enji, because Touya is definitely still a hater, even if he stops fighting with him after a certain point

Shoto is similar enough to canon (Mostly because I do not have the greatest hold on his character so far). I do think he'd be a bit more closed off and cusses a bit more often

Natsuo is also generally similar, but I imagine he'd be a lot more avoidant of the whole family situation. He's the kinda sibling that you see once in a full blue moon once he goes to university.

There was a period where He and Shoto were kinda the only ones at the house after the Sekoto Incident because Touya was still in the hospital and Fuyumi was 'dead', so some trauma and heavy realization was coming from that. He is also a bit more closed off and resentful but overall he's pretty damn similar

Natsuo still visits and comes to support in Shoto's school events because 'It's what Fuyumi would've wanted' (Which all of them use)

OMORI where everything is the same but Basil is a Trans and Everyone except Sunny knows about it cuz Basil uses He/Him pronouns and is a Butch

People tweaking about about Uraume original body being AMAB and now they AFAB like Uraume alr DGAF

Sukume my Yaouri Love of My life, I won't stop loving you

I LOVE worldbuilding economics

hi! i was wondering if in dunmeshi, before falin was eaten by the dragon and before present events, laios and his party were earning money for k*lling monsters in the dungeon? i don't understand if someone was paying them, how they were making money and how it worked

I want to write a proper, thorough reply to this with citations to specific references and mentions in the story, but uh, a tree fell on my house so I've been a bit too busy to do that lmao.

BUT, to give an incomplete answer:

Yes, adventurers get paid for work they do inside of the dungeon, or, they just harvest monsters/plants/treasure that they find. The dungeons are a kind of boom town, similar to a gold or silver rush, which means that the entire local economy is based on people trying to extract wealth from the dungeon, since it's dangerous but easy work, anyone can try to do it with very little resources, and the potential for profit is huge.

Someone with almost no money could, potentially, go into the dungeon and walk away with enough money to start a business, or buy a house or a boat. If they don't die. If they're lucky. Desperate people cling to the hope that they will be one of the lucky ones who become insanely wealthy.

Based on things Kui's told us in the manga and the extra materials, we know:

You pay a fee or a toll to be allowed to go into the dungeon. Access is controlled by the local government. Some people avoid this, like Senshi and the orcs since they just live in the dungeon and avoid leaving.

Many people die, give up, or fail to accomplish anything useful in the dungeon. These people probably generate a good, steady income for the island, since they pay fees but don't have to be rewarded. The lure of trying to strike it rich keeps huge hoards of people flowing in steadily. Most money in boom towns is generated by all the people who are trying and failing to get rich buying things from local people (food, supplies, lodging).

When a dungeon first appears, it is full of easy to harvest gold and treasure. "Gold peeling" is how Laios and Falin started out, and it's literally going into the dungeon and peeling gold off of the walls and statues, and taking any easy to transport treasure with you.

Various tasks need to be done in the dungeon to keep it safe, clean and accessible, and all of these result in a person either being paid by the lord of the island, or the person who they have saved. Killing dangerous monsters, finding people who have died and taking their corpses to the resurrection office, reporting changes to the dungeon, discovering new paths, etc.

When gold and treasure that is easy to find starts to run out, people turn primarily to harvesting monsters. They are probably paid a bounty for every monster they can prove they killed (bring back some body part that a monster only has one of, like a tail), and then they can also sell anything else they harvested from the monster in the market (meat, the rest of the hide, horns, teeth, claws.)

You want the dungeon to stay safe with a well-managed monster population to prevent something like Utaya from happening.

But if you kill too many monsters, now that the treasure is gone, there won't be any profit reason for people to go into the dungeon anymore, and your economy will collapse.

So you need to manage the dungeon and keep the monster population high, but not too high. This is what the Shadow Lord was complaining about. He thinks that if they evacuate the dungeon the expensive monsters they are currently harvesting may stop manifesting/spawning/being born, and all that will be left to harvest is mushrooms and slimes, which are not worth a lot of money.

Laios' group had an assignment from the island lord to try and find the giant doors on the 6th floor that nobody had been able to get past. That was what they were trying to do when they ran into the red dragon and Falin got eaten!

Despite everything, at that time Laios' party was the number one team on the island, capable of going the deepest into the dungeon.

Kabru's team is also considered pretty good, despite how often we see them dying - this should tell you how bad many of the teams that go in are! Most of them don't accomplish much or anything... Just like a boom town, where most miners go into debt trying to find gold, and only a few strike it rich.

This is what Rin is talking about in her first appearance, when she scolds Kabru for being too modest around other adventurers. She wants those other people to know that they are not going into the dungeon for profit and that they're not like the rest of them, dream-chasing fools hoping to make a payday.

She's offended anyone would mistake them for people like that, meanwhile Kabru would rather keep their motivations obscure and not advertise that they're in the dungeon on a moral crusade, not a financial one.

It should also be noted that the dungeon has a lot of criminal activity going on inside of it, because it's not well monitored and it's easy to conceal your activities. There's also a population of people who can "no longer live on the surface" for various reasons, such as being wanted criminals, exiles hiding to avoid vigilante justice, people too poor to leave because they wasted all their money trying to get rich and now they can't afford to live on the surface, or leave the island.

Essentially there is a population of homeless people living in the dungeon, eating anything they can scavenge, begging and stealing to stay alive. This could even be part of the taboo on eating monsters in the dungeon - that's something poor and desperate people do, and doing it is seen as a sign of how low Laios' party has fallen.

This is also why Kabru is so worried about the Touden party: their financials are a mess, but they keep going into the dungeon. Why? People think they are good, but maybe they're secretly criminals? Are they on the run from the law? Kabru has no idea, since "they just really love monsters and this is fun" is not a motivation ANYONE ELSE ON EARTH HAS.

The Toudens can't even say "we're monster researchers trying to write a book on monsters." They're just hobbyists, they just like them a lot. Kui tells us that Laios was encouraged to become a monster researcher but the studying was too intense for him.

It would be like finding out someone who works in a coal mine that kills 80% of the miners doesn't actually care about being paid, they just loooove coal and want to be around coal all the time.
