imjuanita:

imelda is the queen bee, the mother hen, the matriarch 

-she knows who she is and what she’s about, epitome of moving on and deleting (banning) negative vibes from your life 

-her alebrije is a fuckin boss ass jaguar with wings who lionel messi’d the hell out of ernesto and he gets crushed by a bell for the second time? You wished pepita loved u that much 

-there have been countless–an infinite number–of women (and men) who throw themselves over her husband and saves the most soap opera worthy lines just to get a glimpse at the famous peek of a gold tooth under his bony lips but imelda doesn’t even flinch, she is rooted in where she stands, her expression firm and emotionless or if there were to be an emotion it would be one from the ‘who are you even kidding’ collection 

-she isn’t insecure in her relationship with hector because she knows she loves him and that he loves her too because he is the love of her life it is written all over her face when she sings la llorona you can’t just look past something like that and neither did hector or miguel 

-she breaks a macintosh with just her boot and shear strength but is all “Oh, mi familia” the next second when they appear behind her

-makes some serious michellin star worth pan dulce 

-bought her boyfriend?/ husband a custom guitar that stands out more than the sun and now her great-great grandson uses it as he tours the world 

-“I cannot forgive you, but I will help you.” if that doesn’t show you the soft-hearted and kind vulnerability she has in her idk what does 

-despite how most of impressions we have of her was that she was stern towards coco, i believe she knew that music wasn’t always going to be lost not when her daughter is also hector’s daughter

-literally learned and taught herself to make shoes just so she could provide for coco without knowing they were going to be as notorious as they are and taking full pride in that “a Rivera is a shoemaker through and through.”
