#dont mind me. just blurting out unorganized thoughts

Does anyone think about what Abuela Alma went through in the years Bruno was gone? She asked him for a vision about the magic that hadnt given Mirabel a gift, and... Thats the last she saw him. She had no idea if he was alive or what. And from how Julieta worded 'he lost his way in the family' made me think... What if, on top of the bad reputation Bruno unintentionally achieved, the fact that he 'left' the family was the main source of bitterness Alma had?

Because he said he didnt care about this family. Not knowing that he was living in the walls. Because she thought she lost him. And she still thought she had to keep face and hold the perfect family for the village. So she let her more bitter self grow over the fear any loving mother would have when their baby is missing for so long. Even if they are 50 years old, they are still her children.

And its not until he rides in after she and Mirabel hugged that she sees him, alive. And learns that he never left. I dont know when was the last time she called him "Brunito", but that atmosphere tells me it wasnt since he was a child. She is welcoming him with open arms before he could finish the speech be thought he had to brave through to talk to her. (Maybe a speech he had been saving up iver the 10 years he put himself in isolation) but he was NOT expecting to hug him. And to treat him like family. But you can tell he feels unbalanced when she no longer has a strict tone and instead treats him like all mothers do their kids. (No i am not over her kissing his cheek like he was a child taking his hand and guiding him towards the horse and later the family.)

But this is just my thoughts after watching the Encanto movie a second time... Im not sure. Just thinking about it.

Even in my first view of the movie I knew they had a lot of things to work ober than we didnt see, but I sae it as them gradually recovering from everything off screen. That Alma would sit her children and grandchildren down and talk. Mend the trauma that was built up over so many years. For everyone to give Bruno some sort of apology. Even though, again, i think they too thought his dissapearance was him abandoning the family. And just seeing his sisters rush forward when seeing him and engulfing him in a hug surprised him. I have to admit, I was equally surprised and happy as Bruno was about him getting the hugs he got towards the end there :u;

I just get happy when families welcome their loved onces back with open arms okay? Yeah they have a long journey of recovery ahead of them, but they're going to do it together.

Everywhere I go on social media and in my group chats I see people saying Bellamy changed so much and I'm over here like eeerrghh....he really hasn't changed as much as people make it out to be and at least to me 90% of what he said and did this season so far makes total sense to me lmfao. Also, we already knew before S6 that this season Bellamy reminded Bob a bit more of S1 Bellamy so I don’t know why people act so surprised. If one of my close friends got murdered/possessed I’d have trouble not falling into old habits as well and it’s not like they’re in a peaceful and stable environment atm. I’ve had issues with some of the things he did and said but most of it makes sense to me.
