Geez, some people would love if their problems could be solved with a hug from their sister, Mirabel

[I love the short rat man. He looks like Jon Sims, doesn’t he?]

[encantoisawesome]

Some Bruno hcs that live rent free in my head:

Has these little green reading glasses that he uses to read (obviously)

They have a chain attached to them that Mirabel made when she was like 3 or 4 (yknow like the little glasses chain that loops around so you can take the glasses off and have them hang around your neck)

Can hear his visions sometimes—like if it's a vision of someone talking to someone else he can hear the conversation (though it's very rare; when it does happen though, it takes a lot out of him)

Can feel most of his involuntary visions coming up to an hour before they happen

It starts as a fuzzy pressure behind his eyes like a tension headache and the intensity increases until it finally shows itself

His involuntary visions can also be very sudden; one second he's talking to his sisters or making coffee and the next his eyes go wide and start glowing as green images flash in his sight and when he comes back he's lightheaded and a bit confused but ultimately unfazed (albeit annoyed)

It scares the shit out of most, but Pepa and Julieta are pretty much used to it by now and they make sure he doesn't faint on the spot when he comes to

Speaking of—when they happen, Bruno can't see anything other than the vision; so from the outside, they can see his eyes glowing as he looks around frantically, but he's still aware of his surroundings so he can still hear and feel them outside of his vision, but it's somewhat difficult to respond when he's not doing a prophecy and it's just an inv. one

Has a severe sweet tooth (will eat any candy EXCEPT licorice, but dark chocolate is his most favorite and everyone disagrees except for Julieta)

Pepa: THAT'S NOT CHOCOLATE THAT'S DIRT

Bruno: it's better than milk chocolate

Pepa: take it back. Take it back rIGHT NOW OR ISTG-

Rarely ever drinks, but when he does he's a spacey drunk (and a fuckn lightweight)

Like he'll just sit there staring at the floor while Agustín and Félix are joking around and Julieta will come in and be like "wait are you. Are you drunk?" And Bruno will look up at her, deadpan, and go "heheh. yeah"

Is emotionally attached to his ruana and if he loses it he loses his shit and is very anxious and upset until he finds it again

Camilo got the :3 smile from Bruno

Ex:

Camilo's is more pronounced but Bruno's is still there :3

Does a lil squeak sometimes like Dolores,,, a smol "hm",,,,

Has a funky ass high-pitched scream and is v embarrassed abt it (this is basically canon tho bc his sCREECH WHERE MIRABEL DROPPED HIM I- PFFHSHSHHAHSHSSH)

Is probably aro/ace (I understand that some people are going a bit too far with the lgbt hcs, I just wanna say that is not what I am doing here; I know the movie is about family relationships, Colombia, generational trauma and finding self-worth!! I promise I'm not trying to take away from the main theme, it's just a lil idea in my head, that's all <'3)

Definitely a sneezes-in-threes guy (they used to be super loud but now he sneezes like a mouse (or a rat hahsgdakgjgd))

When Bruno is sick/very VERY tired, his powers get wack (as does the other Madrigal's)

Constant visions, left and right, about things that will either happen the second he stops seeing it or things that won't happen until like 100 years later; his eyes won't stop glowing even when he's not seeing the future; one sneeze causes either a plethora of sudden visions or fastforwards time by like a couple seconds, leaving everyone in the Encanto confused as to how they were just getting up to go get a snack to already looking in the pantry

Has visions in his sleep but usually can't remember them until they happen

If he manages to sleep at all that is

He's a very light sleeper, the smallest creak leaves him wide awake

Doesn't snore. Like at all. Unlike Pepa who sounds like a friggin freight train

Has very quiet footsteps, sneaks up on everyone unintentionally (one time Pepa was reading a book and she looked up and he was just standing there in the doorway staring at her and she was like "HOW TF DID I NOT HEAR YOU"

The last 3 above are all probably either just how he is or because of him hiding in the walls

Has surprisingly great hygiene

Cares a LOT about the rats and was overjoyed to be able to communicate with them when Antonio offered to translate

Bruno doesn't consider the rats his rats; "they just kinda adopted me, I guess" he told Mirabel and Camilo when they asked about it

Used to be mistaken for a little girl sometimes when he was a kid once his hair started growing out

This prompted Julieta and Pepa to dress him up like a sister all the time, and he honestly didn't mind it; his "sister name" was "brunilda"

Sometimes his visions give him nosebleeds or sore eyes (his sight gets kinda fuzzy for a few days but it's nothing terrible)

When he's not nervous or stressed, Bruno is a pretty laid-back chill kind of guy, might have been a little troublemaker in his early years

Is really good with kids; Hernando and Jorge used to be his imaginary friends but he brought them back for his sister's kids

Basically he's That One Uncle That Everyone Thinks Is On Drugs Or Has Done Drugs But He's Really Just Naturally Like That™

I'll add more when I'm not about to pass out from lack of sleep 😭👍

Camilo deserved more character exploration

bruno’s arc in encanto reminds me of the stigma against mental illness and i don’t know if the writers intentionally wrote it that way but i do find it very interesting. the image of bruno we get during the first half of the film ranges from ostracized trouble-maker to a downright boogeyman-like figure.

even dolores’ verse, which is probably the most sympathetic take on bruno we get before we’re introduced to him, paints him as a troubled individual and that she grew to “live in fear of bruno stuttering or stumbling.” the movie kind of purposely tricks its audience into believing that bruno is, if not a downright malicious character, at least someone that is going to be unsettling and scary.

but then mirabel actually meet’s bruno and he’s, well. he’s a sweetheart.

he’s shy and caring and a little goofy. the way his powers work and the way he’s treated by his community can work as a metaphor for mental illness. going back to dolores’ verse, she sings that he left the family fumbling by telling them prophecies they couldn’t understand. bruno’s powers were stigmatized because they couldn’t make sense of what he would tell them, in the same way that mental illnesses are stigmatized for being misunderstood. but even if you take away the metaphor, bruno is still a a very neurodivergent character. he talks to himself, he has a set of rituals he needs to complete to ease his mind much like someone suffering from ocd, he creates personas to give himself company etc.

once we finally meet bruno ourselves, his neurodivergent traits don’t make him unsettling or scary, they make him more sympathetic. in fact, one of the most interesting thing to me about bruno’s character design are his big eyes.

the first time we see bruno as he really is, he’s saving mirabel, and the focus on the shot is his face and we see those eyes. what’s interesting about it is that in character designing, big eyes are usually reserved for female protagonists, young characters, or cutesy animal sidekicks. big eyes help convey emotions, and are generally used on characters we’re supposed to sympathize and care about. even before bruno says his first line, the animators want us to think “oh, we’re supposed to trust and care about this guy, actually.”

bruno’s an interesting character that plays on audience expectations. his powers and the stigma against them are a metaphor for neurodivergence but his actual neurodivergent traits aren’t unsettling or played for laughs. he’s a tragic character in a lot of ways, but at the end still manages to get his happy ending and is treated with love and care by the narrative.

idk man, i really dig bruno.

Sorry this took so long but!! Owl House!Madrigal sisters !

Luisa specializes in construction magic, Isabela plant magic (though she hasn’t had as much freedom exploring her powers yet), and Mirabel is born without magic, but she’s figuring it out !!

In the au, the Encanto is closed off from the rest of the owl-house universe, but there’s still remnants and elements from that outside world within the Encanto, like a few articles of clothing, spells, traces of magic, etc. So Mirabel kinda fashioned the Hexside cowl for herself here, even though it’s much farther removed (plus more lil parallels between her and Bruno for this au!! With their mixed relationship/association with ‘outside’ magic and sweet little hoodies). She’s still a witch and got pointy ears too!! Just born without a magic sac organ that lets her produce magic.

I’d also like to kinda poll !!

I’m kinda debating on this (feel free to offer thoughts !!) but what if Agustín was a human? Humans are incredibly incredibly rare in this universe but there’s enough for them to be gossiped about I suppose— it’s not like there have never ever been any humans to cross into the universe, so I’m imagining Agustín (being the accident prone guy he is) just kinda. Wound up here and decided to stay??

That or Agustín is born and bred in this universe and mirabel’s non-magicness is just something else entirely (I like this alternative itself for Mirabel)— idk, thoughts??
