#e bruno

Bruno: *looking up at Luisa, who last time he saw her was about waist height to him and would ask him for piggyback rides at least once a week* 

Luisa: *Looking down at her Tio who she hasn’t seen in a decade who turned into a terrifying boogeyman figure in his absence but has the appearance and build of a wet cat*

Luisa: I could probably pick you up even without my powers.

Bruno: Almost certainly.

~Some time later~

Julieta: Luisa! Put your Tio down!

Luisa: But he likes it!

Oh definitely. I feel like the main reason the whole “we don’t talk about Bruno” thing got started was, as shown, even just mentioning his name upset Pepa so much because of how much she cared about and loved him and how worried she was when he disappeared. Then it just snowballed into the towns overall uneasiness around him and his compulsions and prophecy's and created this almost boogeyman like figure in the Encanto. 

-Pepa and Bruno were definitely the troublemaker/prankster duo growing up. Something went humorously awry in the valley? They were the prime suspects.

-Growing up Julieta was a bit of a flirt and dated a lot. Bruno will joke she’s dated half the Encanto and he’s only exaggerating a little. 

-Conversely, Pepa didn’t really date growing up. Not that there weren't interested suitors but during her teenage years she kept herself a lot more closed off in order to keep control of her powers.

-Felix, who grew in in the Encanto as well, has been in love with Pepa since they were 8 years old and steadfastly waited for her until she was ready to open herself up.

-Bruno did most of his visions for the town in the morning cause he liked using the rest of the day to take his mind off the more upsetting ones. This also meant he ended up doing most of the more menial chores and errands around casita.

-After they got their gifts, Pepa, Julieta, and Bruno would take turns sleeping and hanging out in each others room.

-Before the girls got married their rooms were also a little wilder. Pepa’s had a lot more fields and open spaces where she could let her gift and emotions free, while Julieta’s was almost a maze of cooking equipment and ingredients.

-Bruno and Agustin got really close after Agustin came to the Encanto. Before he and Julieta got married, he told Bruno he was his closest friend and Bruno cried a bit.

-Since her gift was mostly used to help grow crops and such, Pepa ended up spending a lot of time with the town farmers and got really into the science and husbandry in it. She’s still great friends with most of the families.

-When Bruno would get overwhelmed either from visions or just people he would hide out in the kitchen with Julieta and help her peel and cut food for meals and such.

Dolores: Duh, doesn’t everybody?

Bruno: I don’t
