OHHHH YEEES.
My favourite au! This is an au where Camilo was the one who didn't get a gift, while Mirabel did get one. I actually though what if Mirabel would be not chosen to be the main character of the movie, than Camilo would be chosen to be the main character of the movie. And I actually though what he would still wear the same clothes in the movie, but only without his poncho and he would wear an orange backpack where would be drawn drawings of which family members gift. But, he would be more energetic than Mirabel in the original movie and would still have a bad spine. And in this au he is still older than Mirabel, so instead of saying: "the last ceremony was a bummer!" The gut guy would say: "the last ceremony before Mirabel's one was a bummer! Being yours that did not work!"
Of course madrigals (some of them) don't have their original gifts in this au:
Julieta has Pepa's gift
Pepa has Julieta's gift
Bruno still has his gift
Isabella has Dolores's gift
Dolores has Isabella's gift
Luisa still has her gift
Camilo is giftless
Mirabel has Camilo's gift
And Antonio has his gift. Yeah.
(I will write this part of the book for a long time 😭)
Camilo also sings the family madrigal song different, due to the fact madrigals don't have their original movie gifts. Here is the whole lyrics of the song, because I'm bored, yeee🙄:
Drawers
Floors
Doors
Let's go
This is our home
We've got every generation
So full of music
A rhythm of its own design
This is my family
A perfect constellation
So many stars and everybody gets to shine
Whoa
But let's be clear, Abuela runs this show, whoa
She led us here so many years ago, whoa
And every year our family blessings grow
There's just a lot you've simply got to know, so
Welcome to the Family Madrigal
The home of the Family Madrigal (we're on our way)
Where all the people are fantastical and magical
I'm part of the Family Madrigal
Oh my gosh, it's them
What are the gifts? (I can't remember all the gifts!)
But I don't know who is who
Alright, alright, relax
It is physically impossible to relax
Tell us everything, what are your powers?
Just tell us what everyone can do
And that's why coffee's for grown-ups
My tía Julieta
Her mood affects the weather
When she's unhappy
Well, the temperature gets weird
My tío Bruno
We don't talk about Bruno
They say he saw the future, one day he disappeared
Oh! And that's my mami Pepa here's her deal, whoa
The truth is, she can heal you with a meal, whoa
Her recipes are remedies for real
If you're impressed, imagine how I feel, Mom!
Welcome to the Family Madrigal
The home of the Family Madrigal
(Hey, coming through)
I know it sounds a bit fantastical and magical
But I'm part of the Family Madrigal
Two guys fell in love with Family Madrigal
And now they're part of the Family Madrigal
So yeah, Tío Agustin married Julieta
And my dad married Pepa
That's how Abuela became an Abuela Madrigal
(Let's go, let's go!)
We swear to always
Help those around us
And earn the miracle
That somehow found us
The town keeps growing
The world keeps turning
But work and dedication will keep the miracle burning
And each new generation must keep the miracle burning
Wait, who's a sister and who's a cousin?
There's so many people
How do you keep them all straight?
Okay, okay, okay, okay
So many kids in our house
So, let's turn the sound up, you know why?
I think it's time for a grandkid round up
(Grandkid round up)
Cousin Isabella can hear a pin drop
Mira - shapeshifts
Antonio gets his gift today
My older sister and cousin
Dolores and Luisa
One strong, one graceful
Perfect in every way
(Dolores)
Grows a flower, the town goes wild
(Dolores)
She's a perfect golden child
(Luisa! Luisa! Luisa! Luisa!)
And Luisa's super strong
The beauty and the brawn do no wrong
That's life in the Family Madrigal (whoa)
Now you know the Family Madrigal (whoa)
Where all the people are fantastical and magical (whoa)
That's who we are in the Family Madrigal, adiós!
Ooh (but what's your gift?)
Ha
Well, I gotta go, the life of a Madrigal (whoa)
But now you all know the Family Madrigal (whoa)
I never meant this to get autobiographical (whoa)
So just to review the Family Madrigal
Let's go
It starts with Abuela
And then Tía Julieta, she handles the weather (but what about Camilo?)
My mama Pepa can make you feel better with just one arepa (but what about Camilo?)
My dad Felix, well
He's accident-prone but he means well (but what about Camilo?)
Hey, you said you wanna know what everyone does
I got siblings and cousins and (Camilo)
My prima Mirabel won't stop until she makes you smile today (Camilo)
My cousin Isabella can hear this whole chorus a mile away (Camilo)
Look, it's Mister Lorenzo, hey
You can marry my sister if you wanna but (Camilo)
Between you and me, she's kind of a prima donna
Yo, I've said too much and thank you but I really gotta go (Camilo)
My family's amazing (Camilo)
And I'm in my family, so (Camilo)
Well
(Oh. 🥺 told ya, lmao)
Unlike in other AU's where he is giftless (talking about people who also made a book with that au) he is not depressed. I didn't liked the idea of Camilo being more depressed than Mirabel. So I just made him being positive and energetic (more than Mirabel is).
Julieta has en exact personality Pepa has in original movie. Same goes for Pepa, but she has exact personality as Julieta has in original movie.
Instead of using Mariano, I used Lorenzo. Lorenzo - is one of my OC's who appears in the future au. And since Lorenzo in the future au dates Isabella, I added him in this au, because in this au Isabella has Dolores gift, also a meaning she liked Lorenzo during the actual timeline, but Lorenzo was about to propose to Dolores.
That's all I guess.
