I’ve had this idea for a long while now, here’s Bruno’s design for my Encanto Phantom of the Opera AU! But instead of romance, it’s family drama

I HOPE MY HANDWRITING IS READABLE— if not, I’ll type in down here for you guys too:

-After an incident that left Bruno scarred, he began living in the walls & underground dungeons of the opera

-Bruno writes the scripts for all the operas, he leaves them around in certain places for his family to find & use

-He loves his rat music box 🥺

Now I’m not sure if I have the skill to design any of the other madrigals in here, but fyi I’m thinkin the opera is a bit like a family ran business by Alma.

Pepa sometimes performs but she works on stage effects like fog and stuff, and they don’t need to hire any new actors cause they got Camilo—

And of course Isabella is lead in everything, Mirable wants to prove that she can sing too since she’s been getting lessons from ‘the angel of music’ (she prolly doesn’t remember who Bruno is and since no one in her fam talks about Bruno— she prolly just assumed), but Alma insists on Isabella being the lead all the time. (This is just some rough ideas btw, I might change some things if I think they don’t work)

Bruh y’all have no idea how much I love Phantom of the Opera, it was a very big part of my childhood and finally combining it with something else I love feels amazing!! I DEFINITELY want to draw more of phantom Bruno thAts for sure💚

i keep thinking about how in s1 he said he never smiled before Nadja turned him.

it’s human nature to want to receive love. we’re born and immediately seek love from our mothers.

what a cruel mother i was born to.

i remember being an open hearted child, wanting nothing more to love and to be loved in return; to be comforted when i was scared or sad, to be held tightly just because you loved me so much and didn’t know how to show it.

but when i reached out for that love it was shot down. when you looked at me, your eyes hollow and emotionless, i retracted within myself not knowing what i did to upset you; not knowing what i did for you to not hold any love for me in your icy gaze.

i was just a child.

i didn’t know how to process this new found pain; for i had never felt much pain in my short life. it festered inside my soul and grew more and more every day when you denied me your motherly love. it began to harden my heart. my gaze slowly became hollow just like yours. like mother like daughter.

my soul used to scream and beg you to show me that you cared, to show me anything other than anger or indifference. i just wanted my mother.

I WANTED MY MOTHER.

as the years went by i began to fear you. not only that- i began to detest you.

why should i hold you close to my heart if i was never close to yours in the first place?

looking back, i began to remember a time where you did show me love and care. you would read me books and tell me that you loved me. you would hold me in your arms as i cried, stroking my hair. that moment was fleeting, gone as soon as it started.

that hurt even more; knowing that you once loved me but for whatever reason i did something for you to revoke that love, to replace the loving look in your eyes with nothing but ice and stone.

i wonder what the turning point was. what made you not love me anymore? did i do something wrong? or was it just something about me that made you develop the look of hate in your eyes?

now that i’m an adult i still ache. i still crave the motherly love that you so cruelly tore away from me when i barely had a taste. i still wish you could be a mother for me. i still wish you would hold me in your arms, even though i know if you tried i would recoil as if you were made of poison.

i still want my mother. i want the mother i was deprived of.

i mourn the loss of something i barely had. i mourn the loss of what could have been.

i feel the sting in my aching heart when you tell me that you provided for me. i want to scream and cry and thrash around, because i know i’ll never be able to tell you how i really feel. i’ll never be able to tell you that you deprived me of the one thing i needed the most. you deprived me of love.

but i know it’s not your fault.

i used to think you were just wicked to be wicked, that you were sent here to cause me pain or that you were just made of ice because that who you’ve already been. but i know better now.

you see, your mother was the same as you. when you cried she told you it was wrong. when you needed comfort she told you to get over it.

you are stone because you are me. you are deprived of the same motherly love you were unable to give.

now i see you are not cruel; you are made up of all the scars and thorns from being forgotten and forsaken by the one who brought you into this world.

you are me.

but i refuse to be you.

You know what I appreciate about What We Do in the Shadows. They got fat characters that are likable and sympathetic and aren’t just there to be a walking fat joke. Or when they’re the butt of the joke the punchline isn’t just “ha ha this fat ass,” and also, they’re not treated worse than other characters of similar caliber.

Specifically fat vampires!! I’ve literally never seen any fat vampires in popular media before, at least not any that were portrayed positively/endearingly, let alone as high society fancy types like Laszlo (yes, he’s as goofy as the rest of them are, but he’s still a Gentleman(TM) )

And Jenna. Jenna was so sweet and endearing. I never felt like she was treated cruelly; the humor around her was the very relatable humor of being tossed into a new situation that’s Just SO Much All the Time and doing your best. It’s literally such a huge deal to me that Nadja turned her because she saw herself in her (not just because she wanted a new project) and then later, when trying to teach her to be a seductive vampire lady, there wasn’t any discussion of “you have to change your whole appearance and become slender.” At most she put on a little makeup that looked like a normal person’s makeup. But she rolled up to that party with a bulky ass backpack and clothes that matched her regular style and Nadja believed in her to succeed just the way she was

And honestly I know it’s because vampiric hypnotism means you can get what you want almost regardless of how you look but that’s WHY it’s a big deal. So many other media would show this girl getting a huge makeover and aesthetic change before letting her be successful, even though it doesn’t take that big of an effort to hypnotize someone. It’s good and important to me that Jenna was allowed to stay both fat and nice-but-average looking while also successfully discovering what her special power was and getting a handle on things

And can I just say how much Guillermo means to me outside of just being another fat likable character. Maybe I don’t watch enough shows but I just. He’s a soft spoken and mild mannered Latino who dresses like an eccentric professor (and clearly has a good deal of moral complexity just given…you know) and was a baby goth that latched onto Armand for being a Latino vampire. Like hi thank you for the goth Latino representation. I can’t wait to see him fucking snap from not being appreciated I know it’s coming

Look I love the hot ripped vampires you get in most media but it’s very nice to see someone who looks like me get to be one too. I think we all like fantasizing and it’s nice to not feel self conscious in my fantasy worlds too
