i like to think with each gift come other things to each of the madrigals
so like, how Isabela knows all these different plants even when she’s never created them, she didn’t look them up and study them, she’s always known. just like she knows the perfects conditions for every plant
camilo’s acting skills were always there, and he can get into any character in record time, being able to interpret them perfectly. he can also tell when someone is being genuine or faking
dolores differentiates between different sounds even when they’re all going off at the same time, and she can hear each and everyone clear as day. she can also imitate sounds and voices
luisa will tell you the exact weight of smth just by looking at it. and she’ll have a look at you and tell you what your body needs to work on for better muscle or will know what muscle you’ve pulled. gives amazing massages
Pepa can tell you the forecast. she’ll wake up and go “today is going to rain, not gonna be my fault. it will rain for like an hour, at 6:39 in the afternoon” so accurate.
Julieta knows the recipes by heart, she can read any recipe in any language and memorize it forever, but only recipes. reads at the speed of light too, and knows some recipes already that she just knows.
Bruno will have tiny predictions that come true even when he isn’t using his powers. like “i swear, if that kid scores I’m wearing purple tomorrow” guess who’s wearing mirabel’s favorite poncho the next day? or he’ll randomly pull someone aside before a bird poops where they were standing before.
Antonio is an encyclopedia for animals just like isa is for plants. he knows it all, even from fantastical, mythical, and extinct species. he can also imitate their sounds, which he doesn’t need, but you know
au where at some point before canon camilo notices abuela being mean to mirabel and is like oh you’re mad mirabel didn’t get a gift? *shape shifts* were both mirabel. im mirabel two now. good luck telling us apart.
the first week he adults are like haha very funny. the second week abuela is like stop this nonsense and use your gift properly to help people. camilo doubles down on his helping mirabel is helping people policy and mirabel starts answering to camilos name to help the subterfuge.
week three, camilo has explained to julietta, and operation “two giftless mirabels” has pepa start snapping back at alma because there’s a fifty fifty chance that whichever kid her mom was just mean to was hers.
the other kids start noticing that camilo doesn’t have to do chores with his powers because no one knows which one is camilo. this, they decide, isn’t fair. camilo explains that he would be helping around town as mirabel, but no one is letting mirabel help because no powers. luisa and dolores think this is dumb, and isabela wants to see where this goes. they stage a mutiny. none of the madrigal younger generation will do magic chores now. they still help around town, but with things they are arguably not very good at.
”luisa can you pen the donkeys?“
"oh no, were on strike until mirabel has equal rights. I can send isabela to do it, though.”
“dolores can you tell me how far out my husband is from town?”
dolores can both hear and guesstimate distance. she spends an hour and a half going to where said husband is and comes back to report how many steps that was/ how long it took her. “probably less now because I had to come back.”
alma: julieta you cannot possibly approve.
julieta: they’re broadening their horizons and standing up for their family
alma: …who is cooking dinner, julieta.
*several loud crashes and the smell of smoke make it evident that agustine is currently running the kitchen*
julieta: my wonderful husband volunteered to give me a break for the evening
it doesn’t take a full month for alma to throw up her hands and let the kids organize themselves if they’re so determined to undermine her. it takes less than two weeks after that for camilo to start being camilo again
This wasn’t just a fun party for me! … I mean, it was, I met some of my dearest friends now, but [The Good Place] was also a roadmap for how to be a good person… I feel like the luckiest person alive, and I feel lucky that we’re with ethically responsible people who have found a perfect ending to this.

A list of reasons Love O2O is actually the best show ever:
1. Wei Wei is so fucking bad ass like ppl are attacking her constantly and she’s just like “it’s okay bc I know it’s not true" and she’s so kind even when people hate her like how does she have the patience
2. When Er Xi called Wei Wei to apologize, Wei Wei immediately is like “okay here’s a cake let’s be friends” like she moved out of her house for Er Xi and didn’t hold a grudge at all
3. Even when Xiao Nai had video “proof” that Wei Wei was “cheating” on him, he didn’t doubt her at all and he shut down the rumors
4. Coffee the cat is a savage and I love it
5. Wei Wei and Xiao Nai never broke up at all even tho they were together irl for 20 episodes which makes it waaaay different from most other dramas.
6. Yang Yang is just hot okay like his jawline but also Xiao Nai is fucking savage as hell
7. Literally everyone basically gets a happy ending even the bad guys it’s great there’s so much closure
8. It’s basically a show about gamers and rlly smart girls who shut people down when they question them and it’s one of the purest dramas ever
Literally the whole show will make you grin like an idiot the whole time I love it
(for being the least problematic couple ever. They trusted each other so much that there was no space to misunderstandings and that was beautiful and goals af… even tho the actress acted as a freaking corpse in every kiss scene what eclipsed their relationship and made their chemistry debatable)
