So on my first playthrough I was half-convinced Bronco was the one who orchestrated everything and faked his death with a body double (lmao).

Is mastermind Bronco AU a thing... the knight protecting his king/queen by ✨️ checkmating ✨️ everyone who ever wronged Simeon...

We also know he was terrified of his father as a kid. What if he was forced to learn how to mask but never managed to live up to the expectations of what a "normal", "good" son should be according to his father. What if Bronco was a gifted kid, but a "weird" one that an abusive parent can't easily use to elevate themselves.

And now, even if he repressed a lot of his trauma, Bronco's just done with that shit. He's loud, he's unapologetic, he's finally *himself*, however flawed he may be.

Do You Know This (non-canon) Autistic Character?

Propaganda:

Constantly twirls his gun when holding it, which reads as stimming to me. Is so obsessed with chess that he constantly makes references to it in casual conversations, mimes moving a chess piece when he's thinking, and even keeps rambling about it when he's being interrogated by the warden of the prison he's in - reads as his special interest.

My partner and I finally started our playthrough of AAI2 (my second, their first). I called dibs on doing Bronco's voice and it's crazy to me how much I love this guy after dismissing him as 'chess and gun guy i guess' on my first run. The way the game recontextualizes itself and its characters after every episode, but especially after the finale...I can't stop thinking about it.

Also oh my God I forgot what Bronco's objection sounded like and I'm?? Going crazy over how it's a perfect counterpart to Simeon's. Something about the intonation and cockiness in the face of their crumbling plans being very similar. Makes me yearn for a timeline where they're both insane together.

Playing AAI2 with my partner continues to be priceless.

Gavèlle - "IS SHE THE FINAL BOSS??"

Kanis - "IS HE THE FINAL BOSS??"

Simeon - "I like his hair"

All according to keikaku.
