[@kanjigodomo9696]

I'm a bit surprised that there was a hail cloud above their heads, because from what Mirabel says, the more negative the emotion, the more intense the weather. Hence the cyclone surrounding her when she stressed about Antonio's ceremony and the hurricane on their wedding day. And last I checked, hail is not a pleasant experience. It hurts, it causes damage, and the size of those hailstones can vary from the size of a pea to the size of a fist. But you can clearly see her and her husband dancing in that hail storm with smiles on their faces. Bruno said that she can feel whatever she feels, but her weather is still affected by her mood. (Luisa may shrug it off as if she was just caught in a kids' snowball fight, but it's no picnic for everyone else.)

I always saw Pepa’s Rain cloud at the end of the movie to be a symbol of her finally being able to express her emotions which actually allows her to control them.

[@johnjopettrono579]

It's more a hailstorm than a rain

[@Xingaling]

People made connections with the triplets and mirabel and her sisters. Isabella and Pepa which tend to have to be perfect. Pepa usually being seen trying to change her storms instead of dealing with them and even getting criticized if she starts clouding up seen by abuela similar to isabella who tends to hide her emotions and does what she thinks is best for the family. Luisa and Julieta because both are strong and tend to bear all the weight. You see Julieta stand up to Abuela the most and Luisa is just holding onto the family and trying to keep it strong. And lastly the obvious Bruno and Mirabel. Both are outcasts in their own home because of some difference. Mirabel’s lack of a gift and Bruno’s gift being very unnerving to people. Idky I brought this up but I guess my original intention was to connect the symbolism of pepa? I definitely see her being able to dance in the hail storm is as you said. Her being able to freely express her emotion without being criticized and being able to manage them instead of simply avoiding it and trying to be perfect.

You know after seeing the backstory of Alma and the older townspeople/villagers and how powerful some of the gifted could be you could say of the 8 gifts could be used to not only help the people but also also be used as defensive and offensive against those that would attack them again. Example Bruno's gift to see into the future would be defensive as he could look into the future and see if there was an attack coming. Pepa's gift to control the weather as both offensive and defensive, by using rain and snow and wind and lightning to go against the attackers as well as helpful in keeping the weather good to help grow plants. Julieta's gift to help heal those that got hurt if the attackers got through. Isabela's gift of creating/controlling plants both as defensive, offensive and helpful to the villagers in that she could cause plants with different foods to grow, and as for defensive and offensive well she could grow plants to prevent anyone from getting into the valley and to attack the attackers. Dolores' gift of hearing used to listen for people who would want to cause harm and warn everyone to be quiet. Luisa's gift of strength she could create barriers to stop anyone from getting into the valley and throw boulders at the attackers. Camilo's gift well apart from helping the villagers as was seen well he could change into the lead attacker and send the others off in a different direction. That being said Antonio's gift could also be used in defense and offense as he could have the animals warn if they see any of the ones that would attack them and offensive in having the animals defend them.

I really adore Pepa's animation, her facial expressions are a flippin delight, and over the top that it fits her perfectly. It makes sense too, i mean can you imagine getting rained on or electrocuted every few seconds during your day if you're not bouncy off walls happy? I'd get freakish about it too, she has her coping mechanisms, such as her husband, and her clear skies thingy which I really like and almost makes her seem a little unhinged, but shes really just trying her best. Having your emotions on display would make you rather vunrable and it would be crazy, which only ties all she is into one adorable yellow dress and awesome eyebrows. I love her character

I think Pepa's gift is like the worst one. I mean, nobody talks about it being such a burden. I understand it that her mood affects the weather in *whole* Encanto. It's alot of responsibility. She basically it's not allowed to feel certain things in certain times. Yes, it's great she got emotions under control in the end, but nobody can 100% control them. Sudden scare or bad news and boom - there's rain. Hard gift to bear.

[@peytonsz3477]

Whats interesting to note is that we can see Abuela often times telling Pepa to get rid of her clouds rather than helping her work through her emotions. Basically Abuela is telling Pepa to shut down her feelings, which can cause the feelings she does have to feel much more intense, which makes the weather more intense. Felix provides a good counter balance by trying to help Pepa express emotions in a balanced and healthy way, by telling her its ok to have these emotions and working with her to express them in a healthy way. As a result, when bad weather does spring up, it's not as intense, so rather it being golf ball sized hail, it turns into small hail you can dance in!

[@morgansholes]

Pepa is really the only character who couldn’t help showing her true emotions around everyone. They were on display constantly

[@alantobar7459]

I really love to see Pepa dance Encanto in the final

[@NathaniaDemecillo]

It's such a big responsibility to be Pepa, you must always have a happy mood otherwise the weather is going to reflect a bad mood.

[@Daegger]

A message for Pepa Hey queen Girl you have done it again Constantly raising the bar for us all And doing it flawlessly I'd say I'm surprised but I know who you are I've seen it up close and personal Girl you make me so proud And I love you This comment was made by the Pepa appreciation gang 💯👌

[@Yoyle_RueBee]

thank you 😅

[@itzonlysilver_5908]

"clear skies, clear skies....." I love it.

[@jospeae882]

i think her powers represent far more than being a hidden metaphor for the present. We see a journey of acceptance in her emotions, allowing herself to feel rather than hide, discard, dismiss or overthink how she feels. A lot of women, especially in Latin America, are taught to be calm, rational, never let emotions dictate you, to hide how you feel and push yourself to care for others. Throughout the film, we see Isabella realise perfection should be a marker of identity and value, that Louisa shouldn’t have to carry the burden of being the strong, eldest daughter, and Pepa- she doesn’t need to hide her emotions to be happy, she clearly takes control of what would be a ‘negative’ weather condition (the hailing) at the end of the movie and finds joy in it. that’s what i think at least

[@alexasanchez5414]

Tia Pepa is my favorite, reminds me of one of my tias lol and her man is very much like Felix, always trying to please her and keep her happy 🤣

Maybe the house also gave them an increased lifespan or better health? Maybe Maribel's mom's gift has some unintended anti-aging properties. Could make for a cool bit of world-building.

1) I know how she felt, having to hold in all of your emotions even though you are close to a break down. 2) I'm so happy she can feel what she feels and express it and it still be okay and special. 3) ... Never pause a disney movie. I caught some weird frames LOL

[@serahmatsu6906]

I love how each character represents their gift! Like Pepa is as changing as the weather, Julieta as caring as a warm meal and so on

[@Julia_Mwa]

I love Pepas character, she’s definitely my favourite, I also love her design, the dark eyeshadow, I love it, and her pretty sun earrings, I want them irl Also her personality is literally me, the way she looks at mirabel with a pissed off kind of stare as mirabel sat in her seat, is the exact thing I do when that happens, and the way she talks to abuela when she’s annoyed, is the exact way I talk to my mum when I’m annoyed and my mums stating the obvious. The “WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME!?” Exactly what I would say. So if you want to know what I’m like Irl, just watch this character! ITS ME

[@MANLIESTMANEVER]

The look of concern on her face when she accidently zaps Camillo, I feel bad for Pepe. Not being able to express her emotions with causing complete chaos. She can't hide her emotions either, so if she is angry EVERYBODY would know.

Felix and Pepa's marriage is so wholesome. They just love each other so much.

[@wolfsonic9908]

honestly out of both Julieta's relationship with Agustin and Pepa's with Felix, I love Pepa's and Felix;s a little more. Don't get me wrong they are both cute, but I love how Felix is trying to help Pepa. He is supporting her and helping her. In there wedding he still said it was a joyous day even though the weather turned into a hurricane. You can just hear how much he loves her.

i like how felix tries to calm her down instead of shaming her for having any out of the ordinary emotions like her mother did most of the movie

[@Tazurc_yuna]

Honestly I find her ability one of the most troublesome and stressful ones. Imagine if you were stressed from work and then the whole village becomes a rainy day. And u cant do anything about it but calm tf down since it all lies on your emotions so u have no full control over it. I can imagine the consecutive rainy days on the village from her 9 month pregnancies and heavy typhoons and lightning when she gave birth 3 times lmao

[@TheFeiful]

I love the little details especially with Pepa. She shows how unhealthy it is to keep your emotions bottled up. She is constantly having to keep her emotions under control in order to please Abuela, but because she can’t properly express them she is an emotional wreck. The moment she seems most at peace is when she is making it hail.

[@c5l6t4]

Felix is such a wonderful husband. Not once in the entire movie does he chastise her whenever her mood is being inconvenient for everyone else and every time she is upset he can easily calm her down. He really loves his wife and doesn't mind her mood swings changing the weather (even on their wedding day), he actually wants her to freely express her emotions like a normal human being. Such a great character!

Nope, I think it's because Mirabel pushed her while sitting.

[@Sparkletta]

[@idiomasentusiasticos7954]

The gift really gave her a physical manifestation of mental illness, huh? Her anxiety. She got the short end of the stick right there. Juliette can heal people, even from horrible injuries, if they eat her meals. Isabella can make anything into something beautiful. Antonio can communicate with animals. Poor Pepa. If she gets too stressed it’ll start raining on her, which makes her more stressed. She can cause hurricanes which cause mass destruction. Sure, she can control the weather- but for most of her life she didn’t have any control over it because she had no control over her emotions. God. She has the most powerful gift (maybe besides for Julieta) and she couldn’t use it. But I do really love that at the end you can see that the family dysfunction lifted from her the most. I feel like she was suffering the most (maybe Luisa second or tied for first) from her gift. It made every walking moment an absolute living hell.

Pepa: has to keep her emotion always happy. Luisa: always have to be the strongest. Isabella: always have to be perfect. Dolores: can hear everyone in the town, and carrying the burden to keep everything she hears a secret. Camillo: the struggle of a teenager who can't find his true self. So far that was the visible struggle and pressure of each family members that abuela seems to ignore because all she wants is their gifts to help the town. And half of it has been addressed by Mirabel. "Surface pressure" and "What else can I do" are really relatable especially it showed the side of each family member that we could relate. I just wish there's a song for the three cousins and abuela's triplets. And how pepa and julieta meet their husbands.
