Encanto/Ships

= Alberuno = 

Alberuno is the family ship between Alberto Scorfano and Bruno Madrigal from the Luca and Encanto fandoms.

Canon
In Pixar's Luca, Alberto teaches Luca that whenever he has fearful thoughts about something, he tells him that it's just his "Bruno talking" and that he should yell "Silencio, Bruno!" to make them go away.

Later in the movie, Luca finds out that his father abandoned him since he considered him a failure. A similar thing happened to Bruno from Encanto, since his family also abandoned him to the point of refusing to speak his name.

An earlier draft of Luca confirmed that the writers did indeed consider naming Alberto's deadbeat father "Bruno". Director Enrico Casarosa, however, decided against it, preferring to keep it as a "silly name Alberto gave to his insecurities".

Because both Alberto and Bruno are from two separate Disney universes, the two have never met in canon. Disney is yet to feature them in the same media that allows characters from other Disney franchises to meet in the same universe. Or at least allows people to feature them in the same team through one of their crossover games.

Fanon
This crossover familyship started with Alberto's iconic quote being "Silenzio Bruno" and Disney releasing a film with a character that no one talks about called, Bruno Madrigal in the same year. With very little knowledge on Alberto's father and there being those who like to portray Bruno as someone's father, it made sense to portray the two as father and son. While turning the quote from Pixar's Luca into a coping mechanism that Alberto uses to cope with him being left on his own. With most versions of the "Papa Bruno AU" having him place his child in the care of another, it made it easy for people to use a similar idea for the crossover ship. Since Bruno supposedly ran away from his family for ten years, it gave fans plenty of opportunity to figure out how he could've fathered a child in that time. However, the movie implies that Bruno did try running away, but a throwaway line confirms that the mountains were too high and sleek for him to climb, making the idea of him going to Italy for ten years extremely unlikely. Though the idea of Bruno adopting Alberto, however unlikely the scenario may be, would solve a lot of problems: Bruno is the only one in his generation without a child, Alberto has no father and Massimo adopting Alberto at the end of his movie can be conveniently ignored. Though some also ship Bruno with Massimo in order to give Alberto "two dads for the price of one".

The age gap between them also has people ship them as friends. For when they don't want to portray them as family, or over-under aged lovers. From how some versions of the crossover familyship has Alberto resenting Bruno for leaving him, while Bruno is left trying to make amends with the young sea monster. Alberto's sea monster form and ability is sometimes featured as his gift from the miracle candle. Whenever he is placed in the world of Encanto and a member of the Madrigals.

A much earlier version of this crossover, however, was simply of Alberto saying his iconic line to someone who just happened to be called Bruno. Should Bruno and Alberto meet as strangers in a crossover, people like to highlight the initial awkwardness. Along with having Alberto say "Silencio, Bruno" as the key words that gets Encanto characters to start singing "We Don't Talk About Bruno." The idea is mostly seen in Tumblr posts and other websites that allows people to showcase their fanworks.

Fans adore Pepa and Félix, even though they're fairly minor characters in comparison to Julieta's side of the family. A few people have compared them to a "brighter variant" of Gomez and Morticia Addams, as both Gomez and Félix are short and stout gentlemen who are completely in love with their tall and beautiful wives.

= Isariano = 

Isariano is the het ship between Isabela Madrigal and Mariano Guzmán

Canon
Isabela's beauty as the prefer golden child of her family caught the eye of Mariano Guzmán.

Fanon
Isariano is mostly seen as a crack ship even though Mariano was shown to have feelings for Isabela, who didn't feel the same way about him and was more than happy when he started to go out with Dolores. That is why there is very little support on this ship from people prefering to have them as friends or future in-laws.

= IsaBubo = 

IsaBubo is the het ship between Isabela Madrigal and Bubo Márquez

Canon
Bubo was a deleted character from the movie, showing up in multiple cut scenes, they only exist as voiced storyboards, meaning that the character didn't make the jump to test animations.

In the first deleted scene, Mirabel catches Isabela sneaking out of the house and soon finds out that she has a secret boyfriend. In order to not get caught sneaking onto the Madrigal's yard, Bubo was dressed up as a jaguar and covered himself in urine, to ward off predators. Isabela introduces Bubo to her sister, and two of them kiss passionately right in front of her. Isabela also tells Mirabel that she is planning to run away with Bubo as soon as the miracle dies out and the mountains across the Encanto break. Mirabel manages to talk the both of them out of it, as Isabela and Bubo are shown celebrating along with the rest of the family.

Further deleted scenes show that Isabela and Bubo making out would've been something of a running gag. Many of them show them kissing only for it to intensify, with the other Madrigals being at first moved by their romantic displays, but then growing more shocked/disgusted the longer it goes on.

Fanon
Reaction to the deleted scenes have been, at best, mixed. The most common argument is that Isabela running away due to being fed up with Alma forcing her to be the golden child of the family is a genuinely interesting idea that gives her a lot more depth as a character, but giving her a boyfriend to run away with feels more than a bit tacked on to that story. Many were glad that Bubo was scrapped, even those who normally enjoy the idea of an "ugly" man being in a relationship with a beautiful woman found that the make-out scenes did not endear him to them. Though for some others, Bubo being a male love interest for Isabela was more than enough to set them off, since many like to headcanon her as lesbian since she had zero interest in Mariano without the need of a "secret boyfriend". Others think that her simply choosing not to get married was powerful enough on its own, arguing that she doesn't need an excuse if marriage won't make her happy.

Because one of the concept art of Bubo made him look a bit like Agustín, it gave people a disturbing image of Isa making out with her father, giving them another reason to dislike the ship and mostly Bubo. Which is why some people have changed his appearance to help get that image out of their minds. There have also been people who have placed Bubo as a woman than a man, due to the lesbian Isabela headcannon.

With that said, the ship does have some fans who are hoping that Disney would find ways to bring Bubo back in future Encanto projects. Though many people are dreading the idea of Bubo making it back into the movie's canon in a sequel (like formally scrapped characters in Tangled: The Series), some are interested in the idea of "salvaging" Bubo's charactrer in some way. Some people hope, even if they don't have him and Isa as lovers, that they would at least be friends or simply acquaintance of sorts. The idea of him having an unrequited crush on Isabela, with his arc in the sequel being that he needs to move on from her, is decently popular.

Currently, the ship has 17 romantic fanfics on AO3 and a single platonic one, making IsaBubo a rarepair.

= Julistín = 

Julistín is the het ship between Julieta Madrigal and Agustín Madrigal

Canon
Official backstory for the characters states that both Agustín's and Félix's birth families live in the Encanto that Julieta's mother Alma created with the miracle. Abuela Alma initially wasn't very happy about Julieta choosing Agustín as her son-in-law, with her needing to warm up to him. With Agustín being accident-prone, it made it hard for him to win his mother-in-law over.

According to Jared Bush, Agustín being accident-prone is the reason how he met his wife, the town healer, in the first place. He visited her so much that they eventually fell in love.

Along before Jared Bush confirmed it, people had always suspected that Agustín was one of Julieta's regulars, with him being accident-prone and her serving as their town's healer. In a few dramas doctors and patients have developed feelings for one another, and that is why people feel that this theme relates to them. Julieta healing him with the food she makes also references an old saying; the best way to a man's heart is through his stomach.

= MiraAlma = 

MiraAlma is the family ship between Mirabel Madrigal and Alma Madrigal.

Canon
Alma was shown to be close with Mirabel when she was a child and was existed to see what her gift might be, just as Mirabel couldn't wait to have a magic power of her own and use it to help the community like the rest of their. On the night of the gift ceremony Alma shows Mirabel the candle that is the vessel of the miracle that has blessed their family years ago and then tells her youngest granddaughter how they received it. When it was time for the ceremony Alma tells Mirabel that she is a marvel and that she'll make their family proud. Only to see the door of what could have been Mirabel's room disappear after she touched the doorknob, while the candle flickered like it was about to go out.

As she longs for Alma's approval, while having no idea that the approval she seeks has the rest of the family feel pressured by Alma. Making Mirabel more lucky than she thinks. Even though Alma kept telling Mirabel to stay out of the way and to not do anything that would end up harming the Madrigal's perfect image.

Fanon
Because of the way Alma treated Mirabel for a large part of the 2021 film, people prefer to focus on their mended bond rather than the nature of their previous relationship. Of Alma treating Mirabel as an outcast for lacking a gift and how it keeps her youngest granddaughter from reaching her perfect standers.

There has been an AU that has Mirabel as the female incarnation of Alma's late husband, Pedro.
