Please please I beg you to classpect Bruno!!

Note: I was about to ask what made you think I was a homestuck until I remembered I name dropped the “mom” herself.

My awe aside, sure. Let’s go back to my roots.

Since there’s not very concrete information on the roles and functions of each class, you could classpect him as something else (a page of blood particularly) and it’d still be believable. However, in my opinion, I would say Bruno could be a prince of blood.

A prince’s role is described as someone who destroys their aspect and causes destruction through their aspect. Oftentimes, their aspect is incongruous with their character or appearance, and they may feel some type of unrest associated with it.

Blood, as an aspect, is associated with unity, companionship, obligations, leadership and attachment.

Now, considering that Bruno is a good leader, this sounds a little contradictory. But hear me out.

Bruno originally grew up in a two parent household, only for his mother and father to divorce—a decision that implies a level of conflict and encapsulates division. As we know, Bruno chose to live with his father because he knew he needed him more than his mother. He took on a huge obligation at a very young age, at the detriment to himself.

Soon after, we see he’s proven right. His mother didn’t need him nearly as much as his father did. She’s largely absent in his life.

We never hear about Bruno having friends either. He only ever has his father, who is narratively deemed as more of a burden to him as time passes.

And, to quote Araki: Giorno, Bucciarati, Fugo, Narancia, Abbacchio, and Mista. From the very beginning, they grew up being shunned by their families and by society at large. Or rather, it'd be more accurate to say that they were forced to grow up. I think the same holds true for Trish, the boss's daughter.

This drives home that Bruno was just as much of a reject as the rest of his squad. He was just as much alone as they all were.

Even in demeanor, he’s practically described as stoic and, while he is kind to those in his community, he never tries to form a connection with someone else.

The Rolling Stones arc even reinforces it, in a way.

Yes, Bruno was talking to this man knowing it would be about business, but who you associate with will oftentimes be scrutinized. Especially when you associate with someone that can be deemed high-profile like Bruno. And that’s a bad thing when the life he leads is dangerous.

He only ever initiates conversation under the context of helping others and that sways them into joining his side because they register his genuine kindness.

It’s a very contradictory kind of charisma, to be seen as good and reliable by those around you due to your actions. If people didn’t take notice to what Bruno has done, nobody would care about him. People would not stop to greet him on the street. He wouldn’t even be a passing thought.

Even with his squad, Bruno is more professional towards them. I doubt he’s spoken deeply about his own feelings and experiences due to his position as a leader.

When Leone died, Bruno’s immediate reaction was to push down his own grief and focus on the situation. While that might’ve been because there was a very imminent threat, I also believe that he’s aware of the importance of maintaining your composure as a leader. If he’s shaken, it erodes at the harmony of his team. If he’s scared or sad—vulnerable—they will also feel comfortable dropping their guard and end up getting killed. So even if he’s not prioritizing Narancia’s immediate feelings, Bruno is prioritizing his wellbeing and needs, as he tries to do with everyone.

So since he’s in a position of authority, I struggle to say he’s been that open with them. Especially when he hasn’t had the opportunity to cultivate that skill and his role model growing up was his quiet, socially awkward/stiff father.

Therefore, considering everything I presented, I would say that Bruno can fall into prince territory. He destroys himself with his own obligations (whether that be his responsibility towards his family or his role in Passione) and destroys the connections and unity he could have with others.

Since with most god tiers, the intent is for that person to grow, I would say it fits with Bruno needing to let more people in and realize that he doesn’t need to have so much on his plate.

For anyone interested in seeing what his god tier would look like, here’s a cool artist’s rendition of the outfit.

Bruno lets out a shaky exhale as you slowly pull away from him, only enough to make out his facial features. His magnetizing presence holds you close, the warmth from his face weakening your knees.

You can still taste him on your lips.

He slowly opens his dazed eyes, meeting your gaze. “God, you’re so…”—another shaky exhale—“…perfect.”

Miles Davis’ band quietly plays from the turntable setup along the wall behind you. 

“Bruno…” You lean in closer once again, stopping when your lips brush against his. A tipsy smile stretches across your face. “How would you like my mouth to be~”—you giggle— “…somewhere else?”

He raises his brows, excitement flashing in his eyes. His eyes dart around the room, confirming that the curtains framing his windows were draped in front of them. “Oh, really?”

You nod your head. “Mm~hmm.”

Bruno flashes a smitten smirk. ”And where would that be?”

”Oh, you know…” Your smile grows. “…Not here.” You press your lips into his, feeling the “mm,” he lets out when your hands snake their way into his suit window. His skin is warm—electric. Heart pounding within his chest, he melts into your touch. 

Bruno’s skin prickles as your lips slowly travel towards his neck, his breath quickening. Your hands work to unzip his suit collar; he immediately takes the cue and unbuttons his jacket. It falls off behind him with a light fwump.

He’s still smiling. “So where are you going to put your mouth?” His voice becomes breathier as he speaks, desperation creeping in on each word.

“You’ll see…”

He shudders as the warm air from your words dissipates on his neck; it makes his hair stand on end. His sapphire eyes widen when you begin slowly sinking downwards, his face reddening.

The lamp from the corner of the room bathes his body in a warm, radiant glow, the soft shadows contouring his toned physique. The low lighting made each ink stroke on his chest appear crisper—cleaner. 

You pause when you’re face-to-face with the light trail of hair leading straight downward from his naval.

The happy trail.

Such an appropriate name.

You can’t help but trail your pointer finger along the path, barely skimming the sparse hair and warm skin beneath. Goosebumps form under your gentle touch. Bruno’s eyes dart back and forth, wholly captivated by the scene playing in front of him. 

He feels a tug on his belt when you hook your finger around it, pulling it out of the buckle before haphazardly tossing it to the floor. It emits a light jingle. His breath catches in his throat when one of the hands unzipping his trousers “accidentally” brushes against his hard cock. 

Oops.

A playful smile stretches across your face; your hand returns to the sensitive spot, your palm teasingly grazing him. You hear a loud swallow. 

“Need me to take care of that~?“

“Please,” he practically begs, a slight tremble in his voice.

The air around you has grown oppressively hot and stuffy. The stiff humidity forms beads of sweat on your face—but neither of you is phased by this discomfort. (Not that it would have mattered because you knew Bruno wouldn’t dare crack a window open. Nothing escapes this room.)

In that moment you notice that the room was silent, the final track of the vinyl record had finished only moments ago. Bruno’s heavy pants are the only thing you can hear.

His trousers crumple to the floor; you slowly pull the front of his waistband downward until it’s barely covering him. You lean in, bringing your lips not an inch away from him. A musky mix of pheromones and light sweat fills your nose. His cock twitches as your warm, humid breath kisses the newly-exposed skin.

You hear a shuddery gasp when you flatten your tongue and press it against him. His trembling hand reflexively covers his mouth, muffling the pleasured whimper he emits as you slowly make your way up that beautiful trail, savoring every salty inch.

His stomach suddenly jumps, and he lets out a surprised groan when the palm of your hand meets his clothed cock. A small, wet spot forms when your hand makes soft, slow circles around his head.

“Merde,” he hisses. He forcefully bites his lip, the skin where his teeth meet it having turned white. 

He’s a complete wreck by the time your tongue reaches the end of the trail, his sweat-covered body trembling in shock. Turning him into a pathetic mess was never a difficult task.

You hook your pointer finger around his waistband, stretching the elastic toward you. It’s the only thing left covering him. Desperation burns within Bruno’s eyes, and he waits with bated breath as he anticipates your next move.

”I’ll be putting my mouth ri~ght here.”

Thanks for the ask!! <3 by god what a thought, I appreciate you for inspiring me!! 💕 Happy trails are like…. one of my top five favorite parts of the human body…

I find it interesting that the pattern on Bruno’s suit resembles ermine fur, which became interwoven with European courts due to it representing moral purity, innocence and dignity. It was also used by royals to denote their virtue.

Bruno, who tries to walk the path he believes is right, who initially believed Passione stood for justice, carries himself with dignity in more than one way, and is seen as a good leader by his squad.

Ermine fur is also associated with heraldry: the design, use and study of the coat of arms. Notably, it was a way to distinguish the heritage and background of knights during battle back in medieval Europe.

Bruno, who has a stand that resembles a knight and even has a small detail that is reminiscent of a knight in his design, has always been seen with this pattern. He is also the only character, aside from Fugo, to have a relatively consistent design throughout his whole life.

You can tell a whole lot about his character from what he wears, be it his personality or the narrative purpose he serves.

[cornerfortherats]

whoaaa could you imagine how warm and soft his skin would be

[cornerfortherats]

This was a very nice read. The dynamic between the reader and Bruno feels very tender and playful but in a way where it feels realistic. The idea that spawned the drabble is also very sweet. All around love it.

“What if Bruno proposed to you, but instead of a traditional ring, he used his Stand to wrap a zipper around your finger?”

I love finding cute, unconventional ways to incorporate Sticky Fingers’ ability into everyday moments. Little details like these make a relationship with him feel more real—more personal. They’re pieces of him: the kind of things that make him who he is.

This idea came to me while brainstorming marriage and proposal headcanons—what if he used his Stand to create a zipper in place of a ring?

Here’s how I imagine it would play out. Enjoy. <3

Summary: The title of the post <3

Word Count: 860

Genre: Fluff

Oh my god—Bruno...“ you gasp, eyes widening.

Is this... real? Did he just—!?

A dizzying rush of dopamine floods your senses, making your head spin. The scene unfolding before you is perfect—too perfect. You’ve imagined this a million times before, a fantasy etched in stone.

The soft breeze tousles his hair, the setting sun casting a golden glow on his face, illuminating the deep emotion in his eyes.

It’s just like your dreams.

A gentle warmth radiates from his hands, the only thing you can focus on—an actual, tangible sensation. No, that confirms it: this isn’t a dream. The knee of his white suit pants was probably getting dirty—not that it mattered.

Still smiling, he gives your hands a light squeeze. “...So?”

You swear you hear a slight tremble in his voice.

“I—!” Your voice catches in your throat, your heart pounding as if it might burst from your chest.

I can’t believe this is real.

You close your eyes, inhaling deeply in an attempt to steady yourself enough to squeeze the words out.

Finally, the words come tumbling out:

“I do!”

Wait—I do?

He laughs, a bright, joyous sound, his smile widening. “That’s a bit overzealous, don’t you think?”

A wave of warmth floods your cheeks.

Yes! You were supposed to say yes!

Before you can dwell on it, you’re wrapped in his embrace, his warmth melting away any lingering embarrassment.

“I’ll take that as a yes,” he says in a warm voice.

You let out a long exhale, elated and overjoyed. “Yes, Bruno,” you whisper, wrapping your arms around him. “Yes, yes, yes…”

His voice rumbles softly in response. “This is what happiness is...” He pulls you closer. “Thank you... you’ve made me the happiest man alive.”

Silence settles between you, warm and comforting. One of his hands cradles the back of your head, holding you just a little tighter. His scent—amber and something distinctly him—calms you.

He’s so warm.

When you finally pull back, your vision is blurred. You stare at him in awe—he is really, truly yours.

A few tears escape, rolling down your cheeks. Across from you, Bruno discreetly wipes at his eye with a fingertip.

Wait—was he...?

“Wow,” he laughs, a little breathless. “I didn’t expect to get so worked up.”

“Oh, Bruno—” you say, heart swelling. This time, it’s you who pulls him close, squeezing him even tighter.

He laughs again, then sniffles.

“It’s okay,” you murmur, voice thick with emotion. “You’re allowed to cry. It’s a big moment.”

He exhales a quiet, shaky sound. “So much bigger than I could have imagined. I still can’t believe it—you’re mine.”

“You’re mine...” you echo, dazed.

Another pause. He exhales again, longer this time, as if trying to ground himself. “What would I do without you?” he whispers.

“I wonder the same thing.”

Bruno pulls back slightly, taking your left hand in his. His ocean-blue eyes, still wet, shine as they meet yours.

“Now for the ring.” The two of you are so close that you can feel his breath, warm and gentle.

“Oh—right!” You’d been so caught up in the moment that you hadn’t even noticed its absence.

His smile turns playful, eyes half-lidded as he studies your face. “Think I’d forget?”

“No,” you laugh softly. “Of course not.”

Lifting your hand to his lips, he plants a soft kiss on the back of your fingers. A cool sensation follows as his stand’s hand moves, tracing the circumference of your ring finger. Cold metal materializes, wrapped around your skin like a cast.

“There,” he murmurs. “Something to show the world you’re mine.”

Your breath catches as you stare at your finger, fresh tears welling. “Bruno... it’s—”

“I can add a gemstone if you’d like,” he continues, voice still gentle. “A diamond, ruby—anything you want. Right on the pull.”

A few more tears slip free. You shake your head. “It’s perfect as is.”

His lips twitch into a smile. “Even so, tell me your favorite gemstone.” He tugs lightly on the zipper pull. “Only stand users can see this one. I’ll have to get you a second ring—a real one. When I said I wanted to show the world you’re mine, I meant that.”

Fresh tears prick at your eyes. “A real one? But this is the most real ring you could ever give someone.” You sniffle. “You made this.” You lock eyes with him. “Choose whichever gemstone is your favorite. I want to look at it and see you reflected within.” Another sniffle. “Though no jeweler could ever craft something more perfect than this.”

Curious, you reach for the pull and give it a light tug. The zipper unfurls, taking your finger with it.

Bruno chuckles. “That’ll be a neat party trick.”

You grin. “Kind of freaky, don’t you think?”

“That’s what makes it great—it’ll be unforgettable.” He winks.

You let out a soft laugh. “True.”

“Anyway, I’m sure there will be times you’d prefer a ring that doesn’t take your finger with it,” he muses. “That’s where the other ring comes in. And I can remove the zipper one whenever you’d like...”’

You shake your head immediately. “No. I’ll never let you take this one off. Never—for as long as I live.”

Thank you for reading!!!! <3

Hi. Who do you think joined Bruno's team first - Narancia or Abbacchio? I always thought it was Abbacchio. But there are many fanfics and fanarts where Narancia was first. So I wondered.

Note: I know you didn’t ask for the placement of everyone in Bruno’s squad but I figured it would be helpful to other people.

I believe the reason for that is that when we get to see Narancia’s backstory in chapter 33/episode 10, we see that Fugo is also part of Bruno’s squad at the time Narancia first joined.

And Fugo seems to be depicted as the first member of Bruno’s squad in both the anime and PHF (as we don’t have a canonical past for Fugo in the manga), in spite of their differences.

Leone’s backstory in the manga doesn’t state how he met Bruno. In the anime, his placement isn’t very explicit either. However in PHF, Leone is implied to have joined a bit after Narancia if we consider the fact that Fugo’s recollection of the past is in a linear fashion.

In the manga, Mista’s first meeting with Bruno and everyone else isn’t shown but in the anime they decided to add this particular scene.

From this, we can infer that David Production intended the order of their affiliation to be Fugo, Narancia, Leone and then Mista. And even if we aren’t using the anime’s canon, it still matches up.

Luckily (or unluckily) for everyone, since none of this information is in the manga, you can technically disregard any of this and make your own conclusions.

[cornerfortherats]

Very self-indulgent drawing because it’s my birthday and I wanna see my husbands

[cornerfortherats]

Bruno IS more of weird older brother than anything else

[cornerfortherats]

A little (pre-relationship) EmiKara comic (?)

[cornerfortherats]

Boobiarati lol

[cornerfortherats]

Do you think Bruno would be a cat or a dog person?

Note: I’m very sorry for responding to this so late. To make a long story short, I had written my response to this earlier in a notebook so I write it down in my notes app later and ended up losing my notebook. I thought I could find it. Turns out I could not. Again, very sorry.

I don’t think he really has a preference in animal.

From what we can infer from his past, he’s never owned a pet. My idea is that he wouldn’t want a pet used as leverage against him, but that could also be for financial reasons.

With that in mind, I don’t think he would know. He’s probably never thought about it enough to create the opinion.

However, if he was dating or was friends with someone who owns a cat or dog, they would have the unique opportunity to convert him into a cat or dog lover by giving him that new experience.

He cherishes quiet time with the people close to him. Therefore, as he spends time with them, he’ll grow closer to their cat/dog and inevitably love them like they do.

[cornerfortherats]

And again, you did go far beyond our expectations. Thank you for putting so much thought into presenting your point. The way you went about it was very enjoyable to read through.

Bruno Bucciarati: The Perfect Dominant

Have you ever imagined what it would be like to get dommed by Bruno Bucciarati?

Whether you’ve thought about it or not, take a moment to picture it.

Bruno is:

Confident.

Authoritative.

Assertive.

Empathetic.

…Isn’t it perfect?

It makes sense a leader like Bruno would naturally gravitate toward a more dominant role. Not to mention, his career has given him plenty of practice.

But it gets better. Bruno isn’t just someone who can play the part—he’s uniquely equipped with talents that make him second to none at bedroom dominance.

Keep reading for an in-depth analysis (with headcanons!) on why our beloved Zipper Daddy would be the dom of your dreams!

(If it wasn’t clear already—this is definitely 18+)

Bruno: The Sadistic Side

Before diving in, let’s clarify: not every dom is a sadist. However, I headcanon Bruno as one.

Even though this was (very much) not intended, Hirohiko Araki has made it clear that Bruno is quite capable of donning the mindset needed for this role.

Well, not only is Bruno “quite capable”—he’s a goddamn professional.

When interrogating Giorno, Bruno effortlessly adopts the role of a cold, ruthless interrogator. There’s a calculated cruelty in his actions as if he’s playing a game rather than conducting torture.

This isn’t surprising. Intimidation is part of his job, and years of experience have made Bruno exceptionally skilled at it.

In the bedroom, that sadistic edge translates to Bruno reveling in his partner’s reactions. He thrives on his partner’s surrender, growing more intoxicated as his dominance intensifies. (He may even make his partner call him by his last name as a way to “respect” his authority.) Bruno’s self-restraint would quickly slip away, no doubt this making lasting a challenging task for him.

The Human Lie Detector

Bruno Bucciarati is no ordinary dom. His unique skill set makes him exceptional— nobody possesses a toolkit quite like his.

No, I don’t mean “toolkit” like that—(heh.)

I’m talking about the range of enthralling tricks he has up his sleeve!

The self-proclaimed human lie detector can discern a liar using multiple methods, one such being his keen ability to read body language.

It’s clear he’s fluent in non-verbal communication—In the interrogation scene with Giorno, Bruno knew Giorno was lying before resorting to more… unconventional methods. After all, would he have placed Luca’s eye into an innocent person’s hand? (Which of course happened before Bruno licked him.)

And speaking of unconventional methods—yes, we have to talk about the sweat thing. ;)

Bruno’s ability to detect lies by taste is, let’s say, niche. The fact that he so casually licked Giorno implies it’s not his first time using this technique.

Maybe I’m a freak, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say that the thought of Bruno dragging his tongue against my skin by really fucking hot. (I know I’m not the only person who feels this way—after all, you chose to read this…) Hoo boy—especially when you remember that your face isn’t the only body part that sweats.

(And according to MatPat, your face isn’t even the best part of your body to sample stress sweat from—It’s, uh… in other places. 😉)

Endowed with a sharp mind, Bruno has no trouble finding kinky uses for his lie detection, and because he’s skilled at torture, he knows just how to discipline a filthy liar. ;)

Here’s an excerpt from a drabble I wrote imagining how this scenario might go down:

He chuckles softly again and fixes his gaze on you, akin to that of a hungry predator. "Perfect," he purrs. "And of course, there'll be consequences if you're anything less than entirely truthful."

You feel your cheeks growing warm. "What kind of consequences?"

"I haven't decided yet," he wickedly smiles, the dancing spark in his eyes having ignited into a blazing flame. "It'll depend on the severity of your lie." 

A surge of adrenaline floods your veins, quickening your heartbeat. The bed shifts slightly as Bruno leans in dizzyingly close, stopping when his face is but an inch from yours.

"How does that make you feel?" he teases, his voice lowering to a seductive murmur. His warm breath kisses your skin. "Does this excite you?"

(read the full drabble here)

Kinky Fingers: The Ultimate Dom Tool

No discussion of Bruno’s dom potential is complete without addressing the elephant in the room:

That’s right! It’s his stand, 「Sticky Fingers.」

…Are you aware of how fucking much you can do with this stand ability? (Or how much fucking you can do!! ahahaha!!!… I’ll see myself out…)

No, really—I cannot emphasize enough how large the bedroom the potential is on this one. His stand opens up an entirely new realm of possibilities.

As you know, Sticky Fingers creates zippers on any surface it touches, allowing Bruno to attach, detach, and reconfigure objects (and people). We’ve already seen him use it to “restrain” Mario Zucchero by unzipping his head from his body.

Now think about how this ability translates to bondage.

Who needs ropes or cuffs when you can create custom restraints with zippers? Whether it’s immobilizing you to a surface, hogtying you with a flick of his wrist, or inventing entirely new ways to keep you at his mercy—Bruno’s creativity is unmatched.

And it doesn’t stop there. Sticky Fingers—I mean, Kinky Fingers—opens the door to a genre of kink that only Bruno could offer: zipper play.

With absolute control over his stand, Bruno could tease, restrain, or overwhelm his partner in ways that are impossible for anyone else. Once those zippers appear, no one else can remove them—your submission would be entirely his.

And now, I am proud to present a list of many kinky uses for Sticky Fingers:

Wouldn’t it be crazy to have your head zipped off only for your mouth to be used as a fleshlight? (Can you even begin to imagine that?)

My personal favorite use would have to be how he can disassemble your entire body… and then do whatever the fuck he wants. ;)

Again, maybe I’m a freak—but it sounds hot!

(I’ve also written an entire one shot about this, so if you’re interested in it, here’s the link! It’s kind of long and jam-packed with lots of Kinky Fingers action.)

Empathy and Non-Verbal Communication

Bruno Bucciarati isn’t just a skilled dom—what truly sets him apart is his empathy and attentiveness to his partner.

Being a good dom isn’t just about playing the role or mastering techniques; it’s about understanding and prioritizing your partner’s needs.

A great dom has the emotional awareness to recognize what their partner wants and ensures the experience is enjoyable for both parties—because if it’s not fun for both, it’s not fun at all.

Empathy is central to Bruno’s character. It’s his greatest strength and, at times, his greatest vulnerability. Without it, he simply wouldn’t be Bruno.

This deep empathy is perfectly complemented by his ability to read non-verbal communication—another crucial skill for a dom. You can’t create a fulfilling experience without understanding what your partner feels, even when they don’t say it aloud.

As discussed earlier, Bruno’s “human lie detector” instincts rely on sharp observation, especially his talent for reading body language.

Imagine how this skill would translate to the bedroom. Bruno would pick up on every subtle cue—every shift, hesitation, or unspoken need. Whether it’s meeting his partner’s desire or teasing out their secrets, this man would masterfully ensure the experience is as intense as it is unforgettable.

As you know, Bruno Bucciarati isn’t just any dom. His empathy, authority, and one-of-a-kind abilities make him an unmatched partner in both leadership and intimacy. Whether it’s through his sharp intuition or the limitless potential of Sticky Fingers, Bruno’s dominance would leave you both exhilarated and utterly spent.

Zipper Daddy supremacy.
