It looks like Héctor borrowed Ernesto’s clothes for the picture with Imelda and coco; they fit all wrong. And if they Héctor viewed Ernesto as family, it’s possible.

COCO SPOILERS COCO SPOILERS COCO SPOILERS (man I’m so sorry I can’t tag this so if you haven’t watched the movie yet, please don’t read further!)

Oh my God. You’re right! YOU’RE SO RIGHT.
Something that always seemed weird to me was just how broad Héctor’s chest and back looked at the photo, and it makes sense that they were Ernesto’s. It makes it all even sadder, thinking that they trusted each other so much as to share clothing. Perhaps the belt was the only thing that belonged just to Héctor, as the details on it are also on the movie logo (is that the correct way of saying it? Ahhh).

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SENDING THIS, IT DEFINITELY CLEARS THINGS UP.

(Gotta add tags once I’m on my computer, and put this under a Read More)

THIS MAKES WAY MORE SENSE

So here’s a fun idea I had re: Teacher!AU while at work: Hector and Ernesto make a name for themselves musically via YouTube.

  • They have a decent following, nothing huge, but enough people that when Ernesto tweets “Having a concert in [city]!” they can fill a small venue.
  • Their most popular song is “Un Poco Loco”–which, in one of the few vlogs where he’s not manically grading papers, Hector admits it was written for the current object of his affections and he thinks she likes it, but nothing else. The comments on that vlog are full of crying emojis and jealousy.
  •  Their most viewed video, however, is “The World Es Mi Familia”. It’s only 40 seconds long, because right as they hit the chorus, the table Hector decided to stand on collapses. Ernesto uploads it on the way to Urgent Care (Hector needed 5 stitches) because they have an upload schedule to keep. It becomes a regular favorite in  “YouTube Fail” compilations.
    • Every year after that, at least one student stares hard at him in the first day of class and approaches with a tentative “Senor Rivera? Was that you in…?” He just lets out a long sigh and pinches the bridge of his nose as he groans, “Si.”
