I NEED TO WRITE THE NEXT CHAPTER OF YOUR WORDS UNSPOKEN!!!!!

This fic was such a brainfart when I first started writing it. Super freehand without a plot in mind except for the little ideas that randomly sprang up. I feel like I can't write this fic without first having more of these little scenes in my mind that'll spring forth into plot into a conclusion.

Chapter three is a mix of Bruno having a bit more explicit fun sex with more men, fluffy family moments (yeah I know they call me crazy for that one), and Bruno's exploration of...what it means for him to have all this fun smex with guys that he doesn't actually have a relationship with outside of the bedroom. Also he's turned from a shunned prophet into a poor little meow meow back to the family into the Encanto's most openly gay man. Weird dynamics all of the sudden!

I ALSO need to introduce a bit of kink/sex exploration, because so far the sex has been 1. kinda glossed over or 2. not good. And I reeeeaaaallly want Bruno to be kind of...I don't know how to describe it. He needs to be a crossdresser more often cos I promised that in the tags, I promised it to myself, and I promised it when I made Felix walk in on him with his telenovela-thinking wig on that one morning after. He will do drag at some point, I promise. I'll make it make sense even if it's the last thing I'll do in my life.

I guess I need to just take it easy with all of that. Chapter 3 can be relationship feelings and chapter 4 can be all about the theater.

AND ALSO!!!!!! The original draft had a big timeskip where he already had a few boyfriends and he started oggling a much less approachable newcomer (Oscar!! who is mute in this au), but it feeling totally different from his hookups because he actually feels romantic for this guy. But the intro doesn't work anymore for that which for some reason makes my brain want to explode. I hate that I have to think about the timeline too much.

Writing feels very up and down for me and the ~vibes~ don't really hit atm. I do love talking about it though and I guess I spewed all of this while listening to Weird Al's crazy ramblings in Alburquerque, so maybe all I need is to not think about the words im putting down AT ALL and just. Freewrite like I did back in april 2022, and burst out 8k over the weekend.

But anyway greetings Toast! Just popping in to say hello!

Unfortunately it’s a light purple so I can’t do Koki, but I do plan him eventually!
