something quick that i did before heading to class–the trio that i actually need

i think my favorite thing about imelda is that she never remarried. because you can look at it two ways. 1) she dont NEED a man. she is imelda motherfucking rivera. she is a QUEEN. or 2) imelda could never bring herself to hate hector. despite everything, she wanted to forget him not because she hated him but because she still loved him. she longed for him. she wondered if she would ever see him again. and, she just wanted that pain to go away.

honest to god this is the BIG MOOD like imelda rivera never gave up on her love for hector like this man was the love of her life, every passing second without him near was like death and she would know because ever since she go to the lotd nothing could compare to the pain and the longing of having no one beside her anymore

and here’s the thing right because she DID see hector, they met a few times but words were short and physical contact was never there because her fucking heart is breaking into a million pieces and that pent up anger and remorse is bubbling at the surface like hector can tell she’s about to yell and cry and scream but she doesn’t and that pains him to no end because for once he really might have just lost imelda he knows—HIS imelda

Imelda and Héctor narrative parallels.

1. Being unable to cross the bridge (and refusing to accept it)
2. Showing Miguel that they are musicians too (and shocking him in the process)
3. Angrily dismissing musicians (and being very expressive about it)
4. Attacking Ernesto (very angrily)
5. Performing on stage for the first time in nearly a century (at Miguel’s encouragement)

Coco Thoughts #2

I always find it funny that Imelda doesn’t seem fazed one bit when the clerk says that Miguel STOLE FROM THE DEAD.

But then GOD FORBID the mention of a guitar.

He stole from the dead:

This is exactly what I was hoping for. A+ CONTRIBUTION

Here are some handmade clay figures of Imelda, Coco, and Hector from Pixar’s Coco! 🙂

I absolutely adored Coco – it’s one of my favorite Pixar films of all-time. ❤ Not long after watching the movie, I bought myself some collectible figures, but since the figures only included Hector and Imelda in their Land of the Dead skeleton forms (and Coco was left out! >.< ), I decided to make some figures depicting them as they appeared together in that old photograph.

As with all my other clay figures, these are made entirely of Fimo clay, baked in the oven, and details were added after baking. Eyes are made from colored pieces of paper that were glued on, noses and mouths were drawn on with marker, and the designs on Hector’s mariachi suit were painted on with acrylics.

Hector and Imelda are between 5 and 6 inches long, and Coco is about 3 inches long. Each figure took me about two and a half hours to complete (well, Coco took less time since she’s so tiny). If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

(Flash was used when I took the picture of the three of them together, but it was not used in the bottom three photos of their faces. The colors look a little wonky because of this. lol)

Enjoy!! 😀
