Ballad and Dagger by Daniel Jose Older

*thinks about another ship that also are foils to each other in terms of gods and stuff...Yes, it's LadyNoir... It's fine. Everything's fine. (Realizes that one of the characters in each of the ships plays piano and has absent-ish parents)
I loved all of the folklore and the set-up of the world, and I wanna know more.
Encanto has ruined me because I hear "Madrigal" and it's sung in my head.
Character: goes off about United Fruit and other corporations and entities that took advantage of the people in Central America and South America and did really shady things. Me: Giving them (the character, not the companies) a standing ovation. I also wonder if we're going to bring up the civil wars from the 1970s-80s, but they also might have done that and I missed it because of names.
Also the incorporation of Judaism. Like. !!
