Big, Screwed-Up Family: Alma and Isabela’s ill treatment towards Mirabel is brought into clearer focus, courtesy of Dolores tearing them both a new one after Antonio runs away from the Encanto, along with the revelation that Mirabel was the one who raised Antonio ever since he was born. | |

Mr. Fanservice: MatÃas, period. His handsome features, towering height and mouth-watering muscles are described in great detail. Poor Mirabel is left thirsty over him as a result, to the point of experiencing a racy Imagine Spot where she and MatÃas engage in some…intimate acts on the bed. Thankfully, she slaps herself back into reality before her mind can stray too far. | |

Papa Wolf | |
Finding Paradise (Fanfic) / int_1dfd19f9 | comment |
Papa Wolf: AgustÃn plays this trope to the letter when after Bruno reveals himself to him and Julieta, he shows them the vision of Mirabel kissing MatÃas. AgustÃn goes into an overprotective outburst, spooking Bruno and forcing Dolores to intervene, lest he unintentionally makes Bruno flee back into the walls. However, this is later subverted when upon meeting MatÃas in person for the first time, the towering hunk's intimidating height and musculature scares the crap out of AgustÃn, to the point that he hides behind both Julieta and Mirabel in sheer terror. Nonetheless, AgustÃn later musters up the courage to give MatÃas a If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Her... talk when the latter asks for his permission to court Mirabel. Although, that itself proves to be unnecessary, since MatÃas scares the living daylights out of AgustÃn for the second time by taking a steak knife and holding it to his own throat, telling AgustÃn to kill him should he ever betray or hurt Mirabel. | |

Chekhov's Gun: Mirabel’s diary, at first, appears to be a random item that simply allows Parce the jaguar to pick up Mirabel’s scent in order to locate her. Later, it is the very item that causes Isabela to have a Heel Realization and realise how much she has been a terrible older sister to Mirabel. | |

Mythology Gag | |
Finding Paradise (Fanfic) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: After Dolores finds Isabela breaking down following her Heel Realization, Isabela goes on a rant about how she was envious of Mirabel and her freedom to do whatever she wished. This culminates in Isabela declaring that she never wanted to marry Mariano and how she only went along with it because of Abuela's manipulations. Cue the cactus popping up, and Isabela subsequently going wild with her Gift. In further nods to the song 'What Else Can I Do?', Isabela reconciles with Dolores in front of the magical candle with a hug, which makes the flame burn brighter and heals the cracks approaching the windowsill. At the climactic moment, the two cousins leap into the air and fall into the courtyard, cushioned by a thick bed of flowers. Isabela even somewhat echoes her line "You are a bad influence" with Dolores. Some elements of the song 'All Of You' are referenced in the lead-up to Mirabel restoring the magic, especially the parts where Mirabel is presented with the doorknob to the front doors, Bruno saying his canon line of "You're the real gift, kid. Let us in.", and Antonio guiding Mirabel to the doors. Although in the last case, MatÃas joins them too. The canon scene where Dolores terrifies (or teases) Isabela by overhearing (or pretending to overhear) Mariano's desire for "five babies" is referenced here, with Dolores, who is Happily Married to Mariano, having sired three children by the epilogue, and with two more on the way. The scene in the epilogue where Mirabel tells her son the story of the Miracle and the history of their family symbolically mirrors the opening scene of the canon movie where Abuela tells a five-year-old Mirabel the sanitised version of Pedro's sacrifice and how the Encanto came to be. | |

Kick the Dog | |
Finding Paradise (Fanfic) / int_34dcfc96 | comment |
Kick the Dog: One of Mirabel’s last diary entries describes how she was denied a quinceañera when she turned fifteen. Julieta tried begging Abuela to let Mirabel have her quinceañera, but she was brushed off by the matriarch and ordered to not ask for such “frivolous requests� again. This later becomes a case of Pet the Dog, when after casually revealing that she was denied a quinceañera to Señora López, the seamstress decides that Mirabel ought to have one for herself too, albeit a belated one, and ropes in Julia to organise a quinceañera for Mirabel. | |

Finding Paradise (Fanfic) / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: While he is definitely no villain, even asking Mirabel if she is okay during the engagement dinner in the canon movie, Mariano takes his concern for Mirabel to the next level when he and Isabela get into a public shouting match about the engagement dinner being called off. (See Point of Divergence below for more context.) Isabela tries to take aim at Mirabel, to which Mariano fiercely comes to Mirabel's defence, proclaiming that she is "more special" than Isabela can ever hope to be. | |

Baby's First Words: One of Mirabel’s diary entries describes the moment when Antonio says his first word. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it is “MamÃâ€�, and he is referring to Mirabel, since she is the one effectively raising him in the nursery. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech | |
Finding Paradise (Fanfic) / int_7d89315b | comment |
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Several characters are the recipients of this trope throughout the story: Abuela is torn a new one several times, first by Dolores, later by other members of the family for being the main reason why Mirabel ran away and for putting the Miracle and gifts over the wellbeing of the family, and finally, Bruno gives her a more toned-down, but no less realistic speech after she reveals to him what really happened to Pedro. Isabela is the recipient of two such speeches, first from Dolores who drags her through the mud for mistreating Mirabel, and the second from Mariano, who denounces Isabela as a cruel, heartless monster who drove Mirabel away. The townspeople as a whole are raked over hot coals by Julieta and other members of the family for constantly demanding the servitude of their gifts and never once giving back the favour. As it becomes clear that the townspeople fail to grasp the severity of their entitlement, Julieta cuts off all access to her family’s gifts in retaliation, with the only exception being Isabela, who continues to serve the townspeople regardless of the situation. | |

Actually Pretty Funny: Courtesy of her Heel Realization, Isabela devolves into manic laughter after MatÃas roasts her on their first meeting, completely unprovoked. Although it does make sense, since the roast in question references her plant-creation gift, which she lacked after Casita collapses. | |

Didn't Think This Through: An in-universe example. While locking Abuela up in her own room allowed the Madrigals to begin healing and setting new boundaries for their own sakes, locking her up for days on end with no social interaction does come with some horrible side effects that nobody realised until it was too late. See In Spite of a Nail below for further context. | |

The Big Damn Kiss: Finally, in Chapter 20, when Mirabel celebrates her belated quinceañera, MatÃas takes her to a small clearing in the forest outside of the town, and confesses his feelings to her. He asks Mirabel to be his eternal love, which she tearfully accepts. And, as golden butterflies flutter around them, Mirabel and MatÃas share their first kiss, making the first of Bruno's visions come true. | |

Finding Paradise (Fanfic) / int_9591377d | comment |
In the movie, Isabela is never seen on screen apologising to Mirabel for the years of mistreatment she did to her youngest sister. Here, Isabela has a Heel Realization when Casita locks her in the nursery and she finds herself compelled to read Mirabel’s diary, discovering how much her younger sister has suffered over the years, and how much she had a big part to play in Mirabel’s suffering and eventual departure from the Encanto. Later on, she finally apologises to Mirabel for the years of mistreatment, and promises to make amends and be the older sister she was supposed to be from the beginning. | |

Never My Fault | |
Finding Paradise (Fanfic) / int_973d220f | comment |
Never My Fault: Isabela had a severe case of this trope, exhibited when she failed to see how much she had mistreated Mirabel over the years, and consistently blamed her youngest sister for everything that went wrong after Dolores went ham on her and her subsequent fall from grace in the eyes of her family and the Guzmáns. It took Isabela reading Mirabel’s diary for her to finally acknowledge how much she had a part in play in driving Mirabel away from the family. She subsequently apologises to Mirabel after the latter returns to the Encanto following Casita's destruction. Abuela used to suffer from this trope, even when she was locked in her own room by Casita. The effects of prolonged social isolation causes Abuela to double down on her refusal to see herself as the reason why the family was tearing apart. Eventually, her mental deterioration causes Casita to unwillingly free her from her confinement. Almost delirious from her deterioration, Abuela escapes, attempting to set things "right", only for her to be put on blast by the rest of her remaining family members for making them suffer for so long. Subsequently, after Casita collapses, she comes to realise that she is the reason why her family is broken, and does her best to make amends with everyone that she has hurt. | |

Ascended Extra: Dolores plays a bigger role in this story than her canon counterpart, acting as one of the main drivers of the plot. Antonio also has an expanded role, especially after he runs away from the Encanto with all of his animal friends to go look for Mirabel. While we only see Pedro Madrigal in the flashback scene in the canon movie, he has a somewhat expanded role and has spoken lines in this fic. He first appears to Mirabel just before the start of her quinceañera, then to his entire family after Casita is rebuilt and Mirabel restores the magic, and finally in the epilogue, where he reunites with Abuela's spirit when the old woman passes away, and they ascend to heaven together. | |

Ascended Fanon: In-Universe example. Fans have long accepted the theory that Dolores listens to Bruno’s rat telenovelas, and the author includes this in the story, where we see Bruno helping Dolores to calm down about seeing the cracks in the house by promising to continue his latest telenovela, Rato del Encanto. It works like a charm, with Dolores getting excited about finding out who is the real father of the baby, temporarily putting aside her fears about the cracks threatening their home. | |

Dark Fic | |
Finding Paradise (Fanfic) / int_a7559b25 | comment |
Dark Fic: Played with. It is wrong on so many levels when a ten-year-old girl has to raise her baby cousin all by herself, simply because his own parents are too busy tending to their chores around the Encanto. The contentious relationship between Mirabel and Isabela is made much worse in this story, courtesy of an incident about a year before the story takes place, where Mirabel accidentally collides with Isabela as she is just going about her business. Isabela called Mirabel the Spanish equivalent of a “whoreâ€�, and her vines pushed Mirabel away so hard that she tumbled over the second floor railing. Had it not been for Casita catching Mirabel and breaking her fall, she would have been seriously injured had she hit the courtyard floor below. The story references eating disorders and body image issues when Isabela misses lunch as a result of being held up by the townspeople demanding her services, and then has to go the entire afternoon on an empty stomach. We see her thoughts about feeling guilty on eating as much as she wants, in fear of putting on weight and becoming a source of malicious gossip. Additionally, the story makes references to sexual assault. The topic is brought up by MatÃas when he comforts Mirabel after an unpleasant experience with a would-be pervert. | |

In Spite of a Nail: In the end, Casita still collapses like in the movie, the Miracle disappears, and with it, the Madrigals lose their magical Gifts. Subverted, though, with Julieta, Dolores and Antonio. While their Gifts do go haywire during Casita's collapse, their powers return to normal once things had settled down. The tallest mountain that keeps the Encanto separate from the outside world splits in two down the middle like it did in the canon movie. This subsequently allows Mirabel, her family, MatÃas and his parents to make the journey back to the Encanto after they learnt what had happened to Casita. Mirabel restores the magic to Casita when the house is rebuilt, just like her canon counterpart. | |

Deconstruction Fic | |
Finding Paradise (Fanfic) / int_e6b8db89 | comment |
Deconstruction Fic: While one must give Disney some slack for this, since one can't really squeeze an entire healing process from years of trauma and mistreatment into a single movie, this fic does portray a more realistic approach to healing and forgiveness within the characters: While Mirabel was quick to forgive and reconcile with Isabela and Abuela in the canon movie, here, she understands that the effects from years of mistreatment and trauma don't just disappear instantly with apologies. Even after Isabela apologises to Mirabel, she remained conflicted, torn between immediately reconciling with her eldest sister and coming to terms with the pain she experienced. Nonetheless, Mirabel eventually forgives Isabela. However, she isn't so quick to do the same for Abuela, when the latter returns to the Encanto with Bruno. While Mirabel does acknowledge Abuela's reasons, she still doesn't forgive her immediately, instead stating that Abuela will have to earn her forgiveness by proving that she really does intend to make up for what she had done to her and the entire family. While Bruno appeared quick to smooth things out with his family and the townspeople who vilified him in the movie, here, he carries far more resentment and frustration with Abuela and the townspeople, even going so far as to lampshade how the latter's vilification was not only unwarranted, but everything they blamed him for was either completely out of anyone's control, or were caused by said townspeople themselves. He also wasn't so quick to forgive Abuela either. While acknowledging the pain she experienced at seeing Pedro be brutally murdered right in front of her eyes, he points out that it still didn't give her the right to see him and the rest of the family as mere tools in her misguided attempt to keep the Miracle alive, nor did it justify her letting the townspeople go ham on him, or mistreating Mirabel so much that she ran away in the first place. Additionally, when he and Abuela return to the Encanto, and the townspeople try to scapegoat him for causing Casita's collapse, he does not take things sitting down and vows to stand up against the townspeople, although MatÃas does help with putting the fear of God in them. | |

Point of Divergence | |
Finding Paradise (Fanfic) / int_e7f67516 | comment |
Point of Divergence: Mirabel running away from the Encanto following Antonio’s successful gift ceremony forms the premise of this story. In the movie, Mirabel is only able to reach the river where her Abuelo Pedro sacrificed his life for his family after the Miracle dies and Casita collapses. Here, Mirabel is able to cut through the same mountain when a magical butterfly opens up a tunnel for her to pass through. Naturally, Mirabel running away from the Encanto turns her entire family’s world upside down, unwittingly exposing the rifts and cracks that had previously been forming unnoticed since her failed gift ceremony ten years prior. This deviates from the movie, where it takes Mirabel discovering the cracks threatening her home to uncover the rifts forming within her family. Because of Mirabel’s departure, Bruno comes out of hiding to determine whether the future has changed. Look at Didn't See That Coming above. Mirabel meets a woman, Julia, gathering herbs in the forest after she leaves the river behind. Julia kindly takes Mirabel into her home to give her a place to stay. There, she meets her husband, Carlos, and her Hunk of a son, MatÃas. Antonio is left devastated after Mirabel leaves without so much of a word or goodbye, so much so that he leaves the Encanto with his animal friends to go in search for her. His departure further exposes the rifts forming within the family and kickstarts the chain of events that sees the status quo forever changed. Abuela’s word and authority is law within the Madrigal household. However, after Antonio leaves the Encanto, Dolores does the unthinkable and not only shouts back at Abuela for being the main reason why he and Mirabel ran away, she also slaps Abuela across the face in her rage. Isabela also faces Dolores’ wrath and hand when she dismisses Mirabel leaving as nothing worth caring about. Dolores drags her through the mud for being a terrible older sister and being the other reason why Mirabel ran away from the Encanto. In the movie, Mirabel is the one who sees the cracks that are tearing the house apart. Here, Dolores is the one who sees the cracks when Bruno shows them to her after revealing the two new visions he had. As a result of Dolores’ outburst, both her parents, as well as Julieta and AgustÃn are forced to face where they went wrong with their respective loved ones. For Julieta especially, this prompts her to put her foot down and no longer listen to Abuela and the ungrateful townspeople of the Encanto who only demand the services of the family’s gifts and never give anything back in return. The marriage engagement between Mariano and Isabela falls apart just like in the movie, although that happens because Dolores meets the Guzmáns secretly and reveals the truth about what Abuela has been doing to the family, prompting the Guzmáns to tell Isabela that the engagement is off when they meet her in the town square in the subsequent chapter. In the movie, Isabela is never seen on screen apologising to Mirabel for the years of mistreatment she did to her youngest sister. Here, Isabela has a Heel Realization when Casita locks her in the nursery and she finds herself compelled to read Mirabel’s diary, discovering how much her younger sister has suffered over the years, and how much she had a big part to play in Mirabel’s suffering and eventual departure from the Encanto. Later on, she finally apologises to Mirabel for the years of mistreatment, and promises to make amends and be the older sister she was supposed to be from the beginning. Unlike his canon counterpart, who only revealed himself to his family near the end of the movie, Bruno is convinced by Dolores to reveal himself to Julieta and AgustÃn and show them his vision of Mirabel finding love. He also explains to his sister and brother-in-law why he went into hiding in the first place, when he was not seen doing so on-screen in the movie. Unlike in the canon movie, where it was Mirabel confronting Abuela's actions that led to Casita's collapse, here it was the remaining family members who tear Abuela a new one after she escapes her confinement and tries to force things back to what they were. Ultimately, it was Bruno, who makes an unexpected appearance to his family at the climactic moment, who triggers the collapse of Casita by showing Abuela his second vision, declaring that she is the reason why the Miracle will die and they will lose their home. In a shift from canon events, Abuela arrives at the river where Pedro died by her own volition, not because she was looking for Mirabel. Additionally, it was Bruno whom she reveals what really happened to Pedro to, not Mirabel. When Casita is rebuilt and Mirabel restores the magic, Pedro Madrigal appears to his family, and not only forgives Abuela for her mistakes, but also returns the gifts that were lost in the collapse, and even grants those who joined the family via marriage and love (i.e. AgustÃn, Félix and MatÃas) gifts of their own. On top of the magic being restored, Mirabel is finally given her own magical room, ten years after her door disappeared during her gift ceremony. | |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: One cannot blame Mirabel too much for this, since she wasn't present to see the Heel Realization Isabela went through. Still, the sight of her eldest sister devolving into manic laughter when MatÃas goes up to Isabela and roasts her, completely unprovoked, leaves poor Mirabel quite unsure of how to react. | |

Pervert Revenge Mode: In Chapter 15, while Mirabel and Antonio are waiting for MatÃas to bring them home at the end of the day, a Casanova Wannabe tries to chat up Mirabel to no success. Despite Mirabel refusing his advances and even slapping him, the man is persistent...until MatÃas shows up and goes Papa Wolf on the pervert, resulting in the poor bastard suffering a Potty Failure when MatÃas threatens to turn him into Parce's next meal. | |

Running Gag | |
Finding Paradise (Fanfic) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Men screaming like little girls and hiding behind the nearest female character when MatÃas looms over them. AgustÃn, Mariano and Señor Osvaldo are the victims of this trope. | |
