I think it’s cute how all the Madrigal kids have like, a designated grown-up? Like, obviously this is a loving family and everyone loves one another but when there’s that many you end up with favorites/people who think they’re your favorites.

So here’s how I think the designated grown-ups go:

Isabela-> Abuela: Obviously, she spent years as Abuela’s golden child. She wants Abuela to be happy.

Luisa-> Agustín: I have little reasoning other than they play the piano together and she kinda gives me wholesome daddy’s girl vibes.

Mirabel-> Julieta: She loves all her kids equally. But Mirabel needed a little extra attention because she didn’t have a gift. Plus, that means Mirabel was the least busy in town and could hang out the most.

Camilo-> Pepa: A MOMMA’S BOY!! (Let the middles be coddled 2k22!!!) He loves his Mami. Period. We all know it.

Dolores-> Bruno or Félix: Okay so hear me out. Bruno because being the only one to listen to him for years. Her dad because her dad always has her back against Camilo and he’s the other even keeled one of their branch.

Antonio->Mirabel: But wait, Mirabel is a kid? Not to Antonio. She is absolutely his guide to the world and how he understands grown-ups even if he knows she’s more a ‘grown-up lite’ right now.

I just think it’s cute.
