Elena Of Avalor Appreciation Week 2020: Stars

Hi! I have a request Could you draw Capara Sonia the turtle of the song Mundo Interior of 31 minutos (Chilean puppet show) without shell wearing boxers and undershirt? Could you also draw his friend the snail and the butler? Please.

Here you go.

This is a Secret Santa gift I made for someone on a Discord server.

i, for one, would enjoy if you talked more about your future!Avalor ideas *eyes emoji*

Then I will deliver! *magical carriage being pulled by velociraptors emoji*

I mentioned that political stuff in the last post but somehow I forgot to mention Naomi! Since she’s Chancellor, she's in the middle of the kingdom's politics, so she'd be at Elena's side for all those possible incidents, giving her advice and support. 

Naomi finally getting to travel around as Chancellor and visit the other kingdoms on political business would be nice. Because then she could live her dream of sailing around the world even more, but she'd be earning money while doing it. Plus, she has Elena by her side so it's a win-win-win!

Also, I want to see her hire a staff and establish more government positions in the Kingdom. I mean who's even maintaining Nuva Vista now that Cristobal is gone? So she sets up a more detailed federal and municipal government systems that are still ultimately ruled by Elena but now the people can be heard even better. Because the Queen just can't be everywhere at once, even if she has magic. (Now that I'm thinking about it, she would probably try an “everywhere at once” spell first before they did this). I would find it entertaining, but most people probably wouldn't so it would likely be done in the form of multiple upbeat musical montages, or off screen. 

For Mateo, I'd like to see him teaching his magic classes. Maybe him leading the guards in a training exercise on how to properly use magic against villains, monsters, or natural disasters. (More of Mateo fighting stuff with cool magic). Plus Mateo training Olivia, Carla, and Victor on how to help people using magic. Just a whole episode where they're just going around town and solving problems with magic, (and at one point they sing a cool theme song they've made up for themselves in an 80s style montage)!

 It would also be fascinating to watch Mateo learning more complex Master Level spells. Maybe even the most elusive one of all, a healing spell! Perhaps he could go through an arc where he finds more permanent solutions to some of their monster problems. Keeping the monsters in jars & books only means that eventually they might escape, and then you'll just have to hunt them down again. So why not find a way to safely reform them? Kizin could get to see his friends again!

Hi there! Who do you think Elena wanted to choose before chosing her grandfather to dance with her?

I think Francisco was her first choice from the beginning, and if she didn't choose Francisco she probably would have chosen Isabel or Luisa. (Or possibly Esteban, but I feel like she probably decided who she wanted to dance with long before she had forgiven him).

Being crowned was a very important moment for Elena and while she cares about both her friends and family, she just gave her friends job promotions, which means she'll probably get to see them all for work-related things. But she probably won't get to see her family quite as much being Queen, so it was quite a nice gesture dancing her Abuelo instead of one of them

And even if none of her family members were there, I don't think she would have chosen Mateo, Gabe, or Naomi for a very certain reason. You see, in the song “Fit to be Queen” Gabe & Mateo both seem very keen about dancing with her. But the thing is whether you believe that either of them or just one of them or neither of them have a crush on her, the fact is they both wanted to dance with her. And they seem to view her choice as a choice between the 2 of them (when it wasn't).

It seemed to me like a resurgence of their rivalry from "Party of a Lifetime," where they were fighting over who was her "best" best friend. And I know they've fought with each other about other things since that episode but never about how much Elena liked them. I mean Elena just cringed away from both of them and put their hands together instead of holding either one of them. Because whether you believe she has a crush on either of them or neither of them, she recognizes this could become a point of contention between them.

If Elena had chosen Naomi, Gabe and Mateo could possibly have also taken that personally and added Naomi to their rivalry. (Don't get me wrong I don't think that they would be annoyed about it forever, but they might make a rash decision in the short term because of it.)

I do Headcanon that Elena probably danced with all 3 of them at some point during the coronation. It's just that since the “most important” dance was the first dance, she dedicated that one to her family instead.

If Elena of Avalor characters had Pokémon: Part One

I was inspired by @dittomander post about this and I've been thinking about this for a while, so here are some of my own headcannons for their Pokemon:

Princess Isabel - Bronzor - Isa was so excited to get her starter, she's always thought that steel types are really cool and was so happy that the local place where you get your starter pokémon had one. It uses its psychic abilities to help her carry around large pieces of scrap metal and equipment so she can make even bigger inventions. She got her starter on the same day that Christina got her starter and that is how they met and became friends. (They are also technically rivals but friendly rivals, like Hop or Nemona. It eventually becomes a Bronzong, and Elena pointed out how perfect it is for her because it looks like a bell, the perfect Pokemon for her sister IsaBEL, and Isabel replied to her with the most exasperated sigh you've ever heard.

Luisa - Slurpuff - When she was a girl working in her parents’ chocolate shop, it was always surrounded by Swirlix, and she would feed extra chocolate to them. When she was old enough to have her first Pokémon, she chose one of those little guys. She then taught it to play Olaball with her, which after it learned how to bounce the ball without it getting stuck to its fur, it really enjoyed. Eventually it became a Slurpuff after she did a trade-tradeback with Francisco. It also enjoys helping her with baking, but Luisa has to make sure it doesn't eat all of the cookies before they finish them.

Francisco - Roserade - As a kid, he was always challenging people to Pokémon battles and going off through forests and beaches with his Roselia looking for adventure, leading into his adventures with Los Tres. He found a shiny stone for it on one of his last missions with Los Tres. Even when he stopped adventuring, it still reminded him of the past, in a good way. Nowadays it helps him with gardening.

Esteban - Phione - He found it when he was sailing to a political meeting. It was clinging to the side of the ship and it looked really hungry so he sort of picked it up and fed it and then it wanted to be his best friend forever. He hasn't realized it's a mythical Pokémon yet. A person will just come up to him like, “Wow, isn't that a super special pokémon?” and he's like “Yes, all my pokemon are super special to me.”

Armando - Banette - Armando was a lonely child and his brother didn't make that any easier for him. So sometimes, in his spare time, he would make puppets. But when his brother found out he said that it was a stupid hobby and threw them out. Armando was devastated until the next night when his puppet came back, but as a Pokémon! It had helped him with his farm chores and when he grew up and got a job at the palace it could help carry around extra scrolls. But its favorite thing to do with Armando is helping him with the puppet shows he performs for the kids, (it is technically a puppet after all). It can help levitate props or move around extra puppets or even perform in the shows itself. Some people think it looks pretty spooky at first, but soon they realize that it's just as kind and sweet as its trainer.

Doña Paloma - Swanna: This flying type is quite skilled at battling (because losing Pokemon battles means giving up your money to the winner) but Paloma would rather defeat other trainers in pokemon beauty contests, of which she and Swanna are famous for winning. Paloma also makes use of the move fly to get around town, because you have to be fast when you're in business!

(17 more under the cut)

Carman Guzman - Morpeko - It has the least picky taste of any other Pokemon in town and would happily eat anything Carman cooked for it regardless of the quality, much to her delight and her brother's annoyance.

Julio Guzman - Lurantis - He is very proud of how bright and colourful its leaves look and takes special care to make sure it is healthy and well-groomed at all times. He entered it in a Pokemon contest once, and it beat Doña Paloma’s Swanna. She will probably hold a grudge against him forever.

Marlena - Skeledirge: It’s able to sing along quite well to her songs and gives the performances extra fire! Many people think it looks scary before they get to know it, but quickly learn that it’s sweet and friendly. (Marlena can relate to Armando about this.)

Higgins - Wooper (Galarian): Wooper is a precious good little bean and is perfect for Higgins. Higgins buys/makes little hats for it to match any funny hats that he wears. Wooper loves wearing hats and always rides on his shoulder.

Ixlan - Tynamo: Ixlan used to have another Pokemon before being sealed away, but that one is long gone by the time they are freed. So instead the Lightning Warrior finds a tiny little Tynamo and declares that it has a mighty spirit and they will train them to become a powerful lightning warrior as well. Even though it's quite small and weak, the Tynamo is very determined to become strong and takes great joy in every Pokemon battle it’s in.

Antonia - Leavanny: Leavanny was quite good at helping Antonia with tailoring work and when it found out about her dream of becoming a guard it learned Leaf Blade and Swords Dance to help her with fencing.

Tomiko - Klefki - She is so enthusiastic about her Pokémon she won't even challenge you to a Pokémon battle, she'll just pull it out like “Look at my Klefki, isn't it amazing?!” Metalworking is her hobby and she makes a bunch of keys for it to hold.

Felicia - Oricorio: Back in her heyday, where she was performing dance for people with her husband it was normally in Baile Style performing along with them. But after her husband went to the spirit world as they say, she had it in Sensu Style hoping that maybe it could connect with his ghost.

Rafa de Alva - Oinkologne - It is just as headstrong and diligent as its trainer when it comes to keeping things organized a certain way. It was very good at helping Rafa look after Mateo when he was a baby.

Roberto Núñez - Heatmor - It's actually pretty lazy. It'll normally just curl up on the floor of the bakery and have a high temperature nap. Roberto often brags that out of all the bakeries in town, he doesn't need to pay for coal or firewood because he has a Pokémon that can naturally cook the bread for him.

Blanca Núñez - Dachsbun: Roberto got it for her after they got married and she just loves this little bread dog. She takes it on walks in the park every afternoon and it has become the bakeries unofficial mascot.

Daniel Turner - Pelipper: It helps him deliver messages to sailors on other ships. When Naomi was really small she would climb on its beak to ride it, which would always end in chaos.

Scarlett Turner - Crawdaunt: Even though this type of Pokemon is normally notoriously difficult to train, Scarlet was more than up to the challenge. Sailors far and wide know about Scarlett & her pokemon's battle prowess, on land and the sea.

Antonio Agama & Pablo Agama - Solrock & Lunatone: Found them both at the old rock that they used to play at when they were kids. After they grew apart anyone who pointed out that they had similar Pokemon to each other would be ignored immediately. Using their psychic/rock abilities, they make it easier to find artifacts in ruins to study (or steal).

Professor Mendoza - Excadrill - It carefully helps her unearth ancient treasures. Its expression naturally looks pretty tough, but whenever it finds something in the dirt it will just look up so expectantly like “look I did it I found something!” Mendoza is very proud of it, even when it turns out that all they found was just an old tree root.

Professor Ochoa - Emolga - She is definitely the kind of professor who would be giving young trainers their starter Pokémon. Emolga usually rides around on her head and helps her whenever her experiments need an extra spark of energy.

Octavio - Aggron: Octavio first found it when it was just a tiny little Aron eating up some scrap metal after he'd done a repair job, so he decided to take it along with him and feed it any other scrap metal he had. Over the years because of its good diet as well as moving around heavy things to assist Octavio with his job, it's actually become very very strong. Any kids looking to have a quick battle should really think twice before they try challenging these two.

Some mother son baking! I was inspired to draw this by @lieutenant-amuel‘s great fanfiction “Was Born To Lead.”

I love your story “Peabunnies on Coronation Day.” Contrary to what the show showed us, I refuse to believe that Julio, Dona Paloma, Carla and Victor just disappeared into thin air. I love stories like these. I’m so excited for the next chapter of your fic. Knowing what’s going to happen to the Royals, I already worry for Julio, Victor and Carla. I’m so excited to read the rest of your story!

Thank you so much, I'm so glad you like it! ❇

Oh yes, I felt the same way about their places in the episode. I've been ruminating on these headcanons ever since the episode first came out and it's great to finally get to share them. 

What's there to worry about? It's just a nice little game of croquet. A nice little game of croquet in the wake of the upcoming apocalypse. What could possibly go wrong?

[Quick fun fact about chapter one: I was originally using the word car, instead of coche, but I changed it last minute because it just seemed too out of place in the story. Although the original version of the line: “‘Can I have a turn holding the bunny wizard now?’ Hector asked as he got in the car.” Never failed to crack me up.]

This is a doll I made of Spinel from Steven Universe as a gift for my friend @foxtrotparadox​! 

She is made out of felt, yarn (I braided it to make her arms) and thread which I sewed together. I made all the patters for her myself. 

Overall, she was really fun to make! (The first two photos are ones that I took, and the second two are Lily’s)

I love the lace on these dresses, and when I remembered that I had fabric with baby ducks and turtles on it I couldn't resist making a dress out of it. 🐢

[Image ID: Two pictures of the same handmade, felt doll of Carla Delgado from Elena of Avalor, wearing different dresses. The doll is made of light and dark brown felt for the body and hair, with an embroidered face. The first dress is Light blue with pink and white flowers on it and a pink and white lace raffle. The second dress is baby blue with bubbles, green turtles, and yellow ducklings on it. End ID]

These are the second two dresses I made for my doll. It took me awhile to make a pattern that actually worked for making doll dresses with a bit of help from friend I was able to perfect this pattern. 😀 [Image ID: Two pictures of the same handmade, felt doll of Carla Delgado from Elena of Avalor, wearing different dresses.The doll is made of light and dark brown felt for the body and hair, with an embroidered face. The first dress is black with bits of gold and purple on it and a big red flower in the middle. The second dress is white with pale pink and blue flowers. End ID]
