headcanon that Frida Kahlo in Coco never liked Ernesto
she tells Miguel that he has the spirit of an artist, and I feel like she’d be able to tell a real artist from a fake like Ernesto.
Plus she seemed annoyed that Ernesto didn’t come to rehearsals, and then there’s the fact she helped the entire Rivera family sneak into the Sunrise Spectacular and wished Miguel luck – luck with what? My guess is he told her the truth about Ernesto and she was like ‘big flippin surprise muchacho now you have my blessing to go wreck him’

“You… POISONED me..”
just a reminder that houses back then were built with lead, arsenic, and all sorts of chemicals, and he wouldn’t need to carry around poison, he could have just taken plaster shavings or even hair grease -which was laced with arsenic, as was the soap, the medicines, and the makeup, all of which Ernesto would have used- and that’s all it would have taken.
people weren’t dumb back then. they were aware that these things were dangerous. they just thought they were less dangerous if you controlled the dosage (though awareness of danger became acuter later, the more science matured)
so this entire thing would be as easy as Ernesto taking a bar of soap out of his suitcase and flaking it into a shot glass.
that’s how little effort it took to kill Héctor.
Which is so viciously sad.
