Camilo is my new favorite character…
Was nobody gonna tell me they had a storyboard of Dolores reenacting the velociraptor kitchen scene with Bruno and Mirabel?!
I mean look at this
Hilarious
People who simp on Bruno
when the disstrack your family made about you is more popular than you are
That's all I'm gonna say
Bruno + glowing green eyes
They wrote the fic,
The eyes have it!
Hello!
I’m that person who wrote that fic that made you cry at three in the morning. I’m Sinclair! Friends call me Sin and everyone else calls me “Why would you torture X character like that!?!”
I like making people cry and I think I’m gonna like it here
Head empty, only Bruno

Psst
It’s got a channel just for Bruno
Yeah I’ve basically been refreshing the pages constantly
Am I the only one who keeps checking the Encanto tag on AO3 to see if there are any new/updated fanfics, like there's so many good ones, but they haven't been updated yet and I'm just over here like I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS!!!
Nobody….
not a single soul
My brain: hey what if Bruno didn’t get out when casita fell :).
I was talking to my mom about House of leaves and she just says “I was listening to a podcast and someone made a joke about the house moving. I thought it was going to be a house of leaves jokes but it was an Encanto joke.” Encanto is just House of Leaves for kids.
Abuela Alma: What became more clear as you got older?
Bruno: Why the Grinch wanted to live alone with his dog.
Imagine when Bruno was a teen, or while he was growing up in general, if he wanted to be left alone all he'd have to do was go to the top of the stairs in his room like imagine-
Alma: *standing at the bottom of the stairs* Bruno, get down here now!
5 seconds later
Bruno's voice from the distance: NO!
aftermath / encanto
It had been a few hours since Bruno’s return to Casita. The Madrigals were currently dispersed, helping the townsfolk move bricks to make some semblance of walls. In one corner of the remnants of Casita, Bruno was tucked away.
Maybe things will be okay.

camilo uses they/them pronouns

Every time I read a headcanon about Bruno trying to be intimidating with Félix and Agustín when they started dating his sisters, I laugh, because I only can imagine this weak, tiny boy standing there sheepishly between Pepa and Julieta while they go on full intimidating mode TOWARDS THEIR OWN BOYFRIENDS with something like “you better don’t mistreat our brother or we’ll give you both hell”, and then Félix and Agustín staring at Bruno, who shrugs with that tee-hee face of him and says “sorry, guys, they feel guilty for monopolizing the space and food at mom’s womb and leaving me like this”.
SPOILERS AHEAD KINDA
I made a list of HCs that start up after my fic Hermanito on ao3 (It's a Hurt/Comfort one shot, go ahead n check it out if you'd like!)
Practically all of the HCs are centered around mainly Bruno due to the fic, and how the family interacts with him
I'll be updating this list whenever I think of new ones so don't be afraid to revisit this list from time to time :>

__________________________________________
-Antonio's leopard stuffy definitely ends up becoming Bruno's, much to the kid's amusement- and Bruno doesn't even realize it. He goes to bed and always wakes up with it in his arms (Antonio's animal friends always help him sneak the stuffy into Bruno's room, Dolores chips in by always letting Antonio know when Bruno needs the stuffed leopard to help him sleep better)
- After the courtyard incedent the entire family becomes a bit clingy, almost overbearingly so- even Casita. Though the quiter kids like Dolores and Louisa usually know when Bruno wants company without conversation, which they're cool with.
- Mira and Julieta bake Bruno's favorite sweets and pass "emergency" packs of them out to everyone in the family each morning before they start their busy days so if anyone notices his mood slipping they can stop what they're doing to give him a snack n lift his day a bit
- The first time a villager badmouths Bruno its on his own birthday, and it happens in front of the entire family. Unexpectedly, out of literally anyone it could have been, its the normally easy-going brother-in-law duo Felix and Augustin that get in the villagers face n threaten to make their kneecaps work backwards for daring to threaten their Hermanito (They have never in all the time theyve known him ever called him that before and Bruno nearly cries because holy shit he has brothers now-)
- Julieta nearly joined her husband and brother in law but decided it was a far better view to watch her love get so riled up and protective (One of the many reasons she loves him) She instead makes sure no one else joins and interrupts the brother-in-laws absolutely verbally destroying the villager who upset Bruno
- Isa learns what his favorite plants are and one day while the other members of the family are dragging him around town to socialize she sneaks into his room (the old guest room) and that night when he goes in his room hes greeting with the sight of the plain looking room being covered in all his favorite plants in pots and flowing out his window, Casita using the wooden window covers to wave at him. (He cries. A lot. Who wouldnt?)
- He follows Louisa around sometimes when shes running errands and tries to help- (and she lets him sometimes- passing him the smallest ((and sometimes, empty-)) bags when she hauls large carts of grain bags, passing him the reigns of the sweetest most gentle n loving donkey among the large group that has managed to escape the pen again, passing him stones the size of about a football when shes moving large boulders, etc). Despite what one would normally assume he doesn't miss the fact that she's sort of babying him, but he never says anything because he knows it's a big step for her to let anyone help at all- so he simply pays her back by making sure she drinks plenty of water and fussing over any scraps or bruises she gets from overworking herself
- Bruno becomes a sort of secondary Doctor due to the fact he's started to constantly carry around a pack full of water and some of Julieta's cooking whenever he heads to town with anyone in the family
- Augustin and Felix discover in the most amusing way possible that Bruno has the lowest alcohol tolerance known to man (it was during a celebration of some kind, they cheerfuly challenged him to a friendly drinking match- he made it maybe 5 sips in and was immediatly done for. Everyone at the party silently vowed to protect him with their lives when they witnessed him talking to someone about his incredible nieces & nephews n he immediatly started to cry over how amazing and adorable they all were and theyd all grown up so strong "You don't understand Julian, theyre the best, my god I'm so proud of them-")
- Him n Alma sit down to have tea together on Wednesdays and Sundays, quietly chatting about anything that comes to mind. Sometimes other members of the family join them, but on days where its just them they get to slowly heal their broken bond. Alma works on her patience n fear, Bruno works on his communication and anxiety
- Camilo plays pranks on anyone who insults Bruno behind his back- his pranks can sometimes dance the line between fun and cruelty though when it comes to the folks that dare insult Bruno to the mans own face (The first time he witnessed such an event, the crestfallen look on his tio's face made the weight of his own words hit him even harder, guilt over the comments he'd made about him during the song sung to Mira clouding his heart until he decides to go after the villager he'd seen insult the ex-wall hermit. He felt a lot better after and hasnt stopped since)
- The family have daily cuddle nights where they gather up a bunch of blankets n pillows n they just talk to eachother, helping eachother understand n communicate better.
One night when the younger kids are asleep, Bruno quietly opens up about how everyone's past behavior and his isolation has effected him- and once he starts, he cant stop, spilling every feeling of hurt thats ever hit his heart until all any of them can do is simply hold him and listen closely, giving him the aknowledgment and support he needs
- Sometimes when he's overwhelmed Bruno crawls back into his hole in the wall, though he usually warns someone before he does so there isn't panic over his disappearance. Over time he gradually works out of the habit, learning to talk to anyone in his family when he's struggling with things, though it takes years
- As Bruno starts to adjust to being around people again, his dry jokes become even dryer- Puns, dad jokes (tio jokes?), You name it-
He managed to get Pepa to snort over one of his oddly timed jokes once and nothing could take the smile off of his face for days afterwards
- Bruno sat Mariano down one day for a private conversation. The poor lad left the room paler than a sheet of paper, muttering about the color green and rats for a few days after, never explaining just what happened in that room ("Mi amor, your tio Bruno loves you, and if I ever piss him off just know I love you-")
Once he'd gotten over Bruno's terrifying hurt-her-theyll-never-find-you speech (Bruno eventually apologized, though when he shook Mariano's hand his grip was surprisingly strong) the two of them bonded surprisingly well over a joint love for writing poetry
bueno, subo lo último en material que tengo de bruno antes de que se me olvide jsjs

TERROR EN SU FAZ
RATAS POR DETRÁS
AL OÍR TU NOMBRE NO HAY MARCHA ATRÁS
Y TAMBIÉN TRANSCIENDES AL DESPERTAR
NO SE HABLA DE BRUNO~
¡Soy Hernando y no me asusto nada!/¡Soy Jorge, yo preparo la mezcla!
Broke: Encanto isn't really set in a narrow time range but it must after the invention of telenovelas because Bruno references them
Woke: It's not recent at all and Bruno literally watches Telenovelas from the future.
Streams that shit like HBO Max. Frickin eyes glowing green and shit, in his room back there in the walls, meanwhile no one else knows what a TV is.
