( No Title )
This is just me thinking out loud, but after watching Encanto for the 7th time, I realized something: Dolores didn’t know about Bruno’s vision but Luisa did. When Mirabel asks Dolores if she heard anything about the magic, she says:
“The only one worried about the magic is you… and the rats talking in the walls.”
but then she adds:
“Oh, and Luisa. I heard her eye twitching, all night.”
Meaning Dolores has heard and/or seen Luisa be nervous about something to know that when her eye twitches that’s what it means. So when Mirabel goes to talk to Luisa, she says:
“-but I heard the grown-ups once, before tio Bruno left, he had like some terrible vision about it.”
So Luisa heard the adults talk about the vision but Dolores didn’t, because if she did she would’ve told Mirabel about it when she asked. So when Mirabel blurts:
“I… broke into Bruno’s tower, found his last vision, the family’s in trouble, the magic is dying, the house is breaking, Luisa’s gift is fading, and I think it’s all because of- me?”
that’s the first time Dolores ever hears of the vision and reacts how her character would react in that situation imo. Which is ironic because Dolores sings this in WDTAB:
“grappling with prophecies they couldn’t understand”
and then ends up misinterpreting what Mirabel and Agustin said:
“Mirabel found Bruno’s vision, she’s in it, she’s gonna destroy the magic, and now we’re all doomed!”
