WHAT: Vague teenage angst
WARNINGS: .... Vague teenage angst

[The video opens with Mirabel setting at a desk, and there's... crumpled up paper around her. She's got her face in her hands, and gives a loud groan.]

Ughhh, I can't think of anything to draw or paint lately!

It's just one big blank!

I just... don't even feel like painting or drawing.

This is the worst.

[Oh no, maybe there's something going on not related to painting angst that Mirabel's going through?]

Oh. OH. I get it now.

[Gosh, that was awful. As it was, Luz was still processing not having Amity here, because that would just pitch her head forward into a chasm of sadness that would only make being here so much worse. But she could certainly relate to this].

That's rough. I don't know all the ins and out of something like that, because everyone's different but. Take some time to heal, Mirabel. It's a sad situation, and you'll need time before you feel like pouring out your soul in a canvas.

[Or she could NOT, it could be more of a thing she did when she was happy! After all, not everyone had to have a blue period].

[nonmagical]

She really motivated a lot of my art, she was kind of my inspiration for a lot of what I did. I... really wish I had gotten to spend time with her more.

[Mirabel nods.]

Right, I guess... I just need some time. Every time I try to paint something I just think about how she's leaving.

[a_cute_batata]

It sounds like you guys could have made some great art together. I'm sorry she's leaving so suddenly.

Like I said, you're probably going to want to wait a little bit. So you have time to recover.

Honestly? Me recordaste cuanto extraño a mi novia.

[Mirabel smiles a bit. Though it hasn't really sunk in that she likes this girl in that way, it's hard to deny the feeling of loss.]

You have someone back home, Luz?

[a_cute_batata]

[Luz wouldn't fault Mirabel for not knowing. She was the LAST girl to be critical of anyone realizing the feelings they had for someone else at their own pace].

Yeah, actually. It's been hard not to think of her every day. If she were here, I wouldn't feel so stressed out, I think. She has a way of making my troubles feel really small.

[nonmagical]

It's really important to have that kind of person around - especially since this place can be so overwhelming. I'm sorry she's not here with you.

[a_cute_batata]

It is, yeah. And with what happened in my world, I really could use her here. I miss her a lot.

But! There's nothing I can do about that. All I can do is hope my batata is safe and sound.

[nonmagical]

I'm sure she is...

[Mirabel can't say that for sure. She doesn't know what's going on in Luz's world.]

Maybe you'll see her here one day. When I first got her, I thought I'd never see the rest of mi familia, but one by one they popped up.

[a_cute_batata]

I sure hope so. This place would be ten times better with her here, honestly.

[Yes, she's biased, but she's also confident in how strong and capable Amity is, so she's not just giving lip service].

I'm glad that happened! I've met members of your family, and they all seem really nice!

Also, VERY different!
